First post yay I'm quite new to Tumblr but I thought this would be the best place to post random Headcanons of random fandoms with my partner
HC - Edward Kenway from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flags has dyslexia here's my partner's say on it
Edward Kenway has dyslexia. there's nothing in the game to directly tell us this but looking at his behaviors we can see some common traits.
Edward has issue expressing his emotions and desires, often getting him emotional. His attempts to keep a job during that time proves difficult which could have come from difficulty writing and reading.
mental health in that era would have been completely ignored leaving Edward only to be ridiculed by his Peers.
he's best suited to physical tasks that he can understand just by touching and feeling instead of the analytical and interpersonal.
you'll also notice that whenever he's piloting his ship, he's not shouting orders to his crew, Adewale took up that position.
we also rarely see Edward communicate with his crew directly besides Adewale.
Edward has a few close friends and does not seem to work well outside of that group or appears to be inauthentic to pass as someone “normal”
I'm no psychologist I'm no therapist, but I felt I had something to share.
