ao3 curse got me y'all

so if you know me from the personal side of things, y'all would know that I have had an extremely bad run of luck lately. 2 pets having to be put down within a month of each other due to cancer related reasons. shenanigans of the mental health variety, still jobless despite best efforts to find work, and on top of that, there's about 5 different fires that are quite large and within 40 miles of where i live. Life do be kind of shitty right now, here's hoping to something better.

so this is likely gonna be where coffee and cocktails enters it's second arc OR leaves on a sweet and sappy note. It's chapter 11, so please I am asking for feedback if you, the audience wants to see more of the fic or have me move onto other territories with Arno and Jacob. https://archiveofourown.org/works/69819931/chapters/224128041

About this Syndicate swap AU, I thought "what would happen if they swapped their siblings" and genuinely, I don't know what is the worst option ??

Like ok they might get along at first, why not but picture this :

Swap!Evie and Jacob wouldn't even bother listening to each other because both of them are self-centered and you just know that they would end up saying the most hurtful thing just to shut up the other up. Also, they would get at each other throat all the time like physically due to their own frustration at not being able to communicate properly.

But oh boi swap!Jacob and Evie ? Let me remind you that in this AU, only their personnalities are swapped not their main ""goals"". So Evie is still stubborn about finding Eden's pieces, but swap!Jacob would be also very determined about creating a strong network of people with the same values...and yeah, I think we would have the same lack of communication but instead of talking, it would be just a constent cold war between them. If you think "bad ending" where they would end up splitting once and for all, I think swap!Jacob and Evie is the way to go .

Btw, I did thought about other swapped roles like Cecily and Ethan or even Henry and Maxwell :3c We'll see~

In today's episode of coffee and cocktails, we have our buildup for angst since we have had just a little too much sweet stuff, and now we need some of that bitter drama. which can be found here

Truly I am so tired of the Assassin's Creed fandom outside of Tumblr just being like. So deeply boring.

"I played every game in the franchise. Here's what I thought about all of them." Yeah you and every other person. I see this post on Reddit at least once a week. "Rogue makes no sense." I don't care, rub your two brain cells together and make it make sense. "Here's what I think the next historical setting should be." Shut upppppppp.

You know what I want to talk about? The bad cable management in Abstergo's server room. Who the hell is responsible. Also, why are their IT people seemingly being held prisoner in basement dungeons? I want to know. And why do Templar indoctrination rituals seem to center around forcing random people to do IT maintenance? Why am I being cult brainwashed via computer repair?

Every AC game is bad and nobody in the fandom actually likes them, yes yes yes yes, can we start making 4-hour lore detective videos about unimportant shit now? I'm starving.

Thank you for reviving the FrenchFrye ship, it's really underrated and finding new art of them puts a big smile on my face ♥️

YOU'RE VERY WELCOME !! (thanks to all the other creators out there too. without these precious old/current works, I might lose the energy to produce new ones) it's always my pleasure whenever I know other French Fryes likers like it 💖✨️ (and it would be awesome if I could make someone who never thought of this ship before interested in them hehe) so, thank you to you too !

Here's some classic trope, outfit swap.

undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal

MOAR FRENCH FRYES!!!! Oh and angst ahoy, as I was replaying AC syndicate for the billionth time, I kind of got the feeling there's a lot of unresolved trauma around the frye twins and their dad's death.

Tips for Writing Injuries

✧ Broken ribs suck. You don’t just “walk it off.” Breathing hurts. Laughing hurts. Existing hurts. Characters with rib injuries won’t be doing heroic sprints.

✧ Concussions aren’t instant naps. Dazed vision, nausea, dizziness, maybe even personality changes, but they’re not going to collapse neatly like in the movies.

✧ Blood loss is sneaky. It’s not just about dramatic pools of blood. It’s dizziness, confusion, and the body getting cold as circulation tanks.

✧ Adrenaline lies. Someone can take a serious injury and not feel it until the fight’s over. That “I didn’t realize I was bleeding until later” trope? Very real.

✧ Twisted ankles are brutal. One bad step and suddenly running is off the table. Even walking hurts like hell. Perfect way to ground a chase scene.

✧ Burns linger. Even small burns hurt more than most people expect. Blisters, infection risk, constant pain, it’s not just a cool scar later.

✧ Dislocated shoulders = useless arm. Characters can’t keep swinging a sword or firing a gun. They’re basically fighting one-armed until it’s fixed.

✧ Shock is a thing. Pale skin, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and eventually disorientation. A character might not even realize how bad their wound is.

✧ Stitches aren’t magic. Getting sewn up is painful and recovery takes time. They’re not instantly battle-ready after a needle and thread.

✧ Scars tell stories. Some fade, some don’t. Some stay sensitive forever. Don’t forget the aftermath when the wound becomes part of the character.
