8: Are you in college?

Nope.

22: Favorite Quote?

OH MY GOD ELINE HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME????

JUST ONE? 

*sobs forever*

NOPE YOU KNOW WHAT FUCK THE RULES.

So! While the vast majority of the gaming community would probably be quick to dedicate heated tirades to one company in particular, the Assassin’s Credo continues to fascinate me because it is, simply put, relatively true. It is interesting to see how easily even well-rounded characters like Edward or Altair have demonstrated how dire the consequences can be if this particular quotation is misinterpreted and perverted into something that it’s not. I’m very passionate about this, okay? (And, yes, I do know where it’s originally from. I think? I’ll double check…) ANYWAY:

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

Followed closely by this: 

“The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.”

Nietzsche, obviously. 

I believe these words, masterfully crafted, speak loud enough on their own. 

ALSO:

“Good that you ask – you should always ask, always have doubts.”

Awake but asunder,

a choir laughing like thunder

and their lurching lies...

It’s such a guise.

II.

What do they do,

pouring pride down the drain,

for all their virtue is in vain

III.

They scream: this is not a dream 

So they baptize their laws,

for it is The Judgement, 

with ravenous claws

And still they scream: this is not a dream
