i fucking love that the part of tlou fandom that hates Ellie/Abby can't come up with valid reasons why its bad because of how popular and accepted m/m ships in that same vein are so they resort to spinning the wheel of random buzz words they've seen and saying shit like smells like biphobia!
please do something valuable with your time like shutting the hell up

1: Why did you choose your url? i’m so uncreative at choosing usernames, so i used a random name generator thing and this is what it spit out lol rip
2: Any side blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them. just one ( @cyberpunkedd ) which is a general gaming blog where i make and reblog gifsets for games other than Assassin’s Creed. tbh i’ve been more active there than here lately, relatively speaking.
3: How long have you been on tumblr? i had another blog for a while, starting back in 2011. took a long break because life got hectic and then came back with this one a few years ago.
4: Do you have a queue tag? it’s #resting in the bureau (q), which is basically me taking Malik’s advice. I’m doing it quietly man, i swear!!
5: Why did you start your blog in the first place? because despite it all Assassin’s Creed will always have a special place in my heart 🧡 and i wanted to start making gifs of my fav games again
6: Why did you choose your icon/pfp? i yoinked it from the AC Origins comic. i saw Aya in it and knew i had to make her into my icon, i love her so much!!
7: Why did you choose your header? Bayek on a horse, what else is there to say?!? it’s a pretty screenshot taken by @theashenphoenix
8: What’s your post with the most notes? this gifset of Ratonhnhaké:ton 🧡 even his voice actor reblogged it aahhHH!! 😳😳
9: How many mutuals do you have? i don’t keep track specifically but there are lots and they are all so lovely!
10: How many followers do you have? i have no idea…. looking at those numbers gives me a bit of anxiety so i avoid it lol
11: How many people do you follow? a couple hundred or so.
12: Have you ever made a shitpost? nah, i’ve made some shitty posts tho.
13: How often do you use tumblr each day? hmmm maybe once every other day? i don’t come here as often i used to, hence why my blogs mostly run on queues rn. i just don’t have much free time with work and school 😔
14: Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won? not really a fight, just some really uncomfortable moments where i’ve messaged users who have reposted/stolen some of my gifs 🙃🙃🙃 (not with stuff on this blog tho, it was my other one). Only one of the situations resulted in me having to report the user and afaik they’re gone now. so idk is that a win? felt more like poop all around tbh 😤
15: How do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts? so imma be real witchu, i don’t do discourse and don’t get my news headlines from tumblr dot com, and i really don’t have the time or inclination to read long text posts when i’m here. So 99 percent of it just goes right past me.
16: Do you like tag games? yes!!! i love being remembered and i’m just so very sorry that i don’t respond to them quickly……. 💀
17: Do you like ask games? i do but since i’m not on here as much as before i don’t really reblog them anymore.
18: Do you have a crush on a mutual? each and every one of them!!
15 Questions // tagged by the beautiful @alethiometry 🧡 ty charlotte!!
Named after someone? yes, after my mom's grandmother. I've never met her but apparently she was a rebellious soul for her time and I take after her in some ways lol
Last time you cried? oof, a few days ago while going thru my recordings of Yakuza 0 while planning gifsets. like wtf I can't believe this game makes me cry even when I'm not actively playing it, it didn't have to go THAT HARD??
Do you have any kids? nope and tbh I don't want any
Do you use sarcasm a lot? mmm I don’t think so? not any more than the average person
What’s the first thing you notice about people? their noses!!! I loooove interesting and unusual noses
Eye color? brown!
Scary movie or happy ending? idk I'm fine with either, if it's good storytelling I don't get too hung up on genre
Any special talent? I've been told I'm very good at remembering the names and details (physical appearance, things about themselves they've relayed in conversation, etc.) of people I've just met, so I'll go with that
What country were you born in? Canada
What are your hobbies? playing video games, giffing video games, crying over video games, buying new video games then never playing them, falling for fictional characters in video games...
Do you have any pets? just my black lab Dakota, he's a big goofy goober and I love him so much 🧡 he's been such a source of comfort during these last several months, I think I'd have gone crazy without him
What sports do you play/have played? I did gymnastics as a kid and I was on my high school track team. I still run a lot, it's my main outlet for stress
How tall are you? 5’4″
Favorite subject in school? math and science! I also loved every literature course I took in college (I was a math major but filled my electives with lots of lit courses) and I wish I could have taken more
Dream job? I actually enjoy my current job, but something I'd absolutely love to do one day is work with a nonprofit to train service dogs!

20 FACTS!! // tagged by @theashenphoenix for this one MONTHS ago, ty beautiful!!! ♥(ˆ◡ˆԅ)
1. Do you make your bed? kind of? I basically just straighten the pillows and pull the covers back up to the top of the bed. And usually all in a rush since I always be hittin that snooze button in the morning
2. What’s your favorite number? honestly I don't think I have one???
3. What’s your job? I'm a statistical analyst for a mechanical engineering research program at one the big universities here. Basically I model data and help the numbers make sense for engineers working on some really cutting edge stuff
4. If you could, would you go back to school? welp... I'm back at university right now working on my master's degree and it has NOT been easy doing that while continuing to work full-time. Still wishing I'd done this right after my bachelor's but you know what, I'm doing my best chugging away a course or 2 at a time while holding down my day job and somewhat maintaining my sanity... Stay in school, kids!!!
5. Can you parallel park? I’m a PRO at this! When you live/work/drive in a big city, you do or die lmao
6. A job you had which would surprise people? when I was in high school I spent a couple of summers detasseling corn. It was very hot and intensive manual labor and I remember my classmates (who were too posh for that kind of work) didn't think I would last a single day, but it was the best summer job I ever had and gave me mad respect for agricultural workers. I also met some really cool people, one of whom became a very good friend that I still keep in touch with today.
7. Do you think aliens are real? yep and they're probably staying the fuck away from us for a reason!!
8. Can you drive a manual car? yes tho my current car is automatic
9. What’s your guilty pleasure? a large double-double and canadian maple from timmies. Singing 80s and 90s pop songs (badly) at the top of my lungs in the shower. Popping bubble wrap... every. single. bubble.
10. Tattoos? I have one of a pretty little daisy on the back of my right shoulder. I had it done in honor of my mom... it was her favorite flower 🌼
11. Favorite color? orange!! 🧡🧡
12. Things people do that drive you crazy? smoking in non-smoking zones, LITTERING, yelling at their pets for bad habits they themselves taught them, not turning on the blinker when changing lanes!!! omg I could go on and on lmao
13. Any Phobias? not really tbh? Maybe a little bit of extreme heights
14. Favorite childhood sport? I did gymnastics as a kid and ran track during high school, which I really loved. These days I barely have time to take my dog for our daily run, tho what with covid-19 still being A Thing this has been a lot harder to do while maintaining a safe distance 😷
15. Do you talk to yourself? sometimes?? Usually when I'm mad or frustrated
16. What movie do you adore? I could never choose just one but the first movie that comes to mind is The Fellowship of the Ring. It's my cozy Christmastime movie ☕❄️
17. Do you like doing puzzles? sure! All kinds tho I'm better at puzzles involving numbers and logic
18. Favorite kind of music? I listen to anything and everything but it usually depends on my mood or what I'm doing (upbeat for chores or working out, something mellow for studying, OST of the game when making gifs for it, etc.)
19. Tea or coffee? I like both but usually prefer coffee when given a choice
20. The first thing you remember you wanted to be when you grew up? an astronaut!!

FAVORITE ANIMAL: horses, dogs, wolves, falcons, hawks... ok I think it's obvious by now that I’m very bad at choosing just one fav for anything
