This Is America. It Expands And It Contracts. Advances And Recedes. Opens And Closes. This Is A Country

This is America. It expands and it contracts. Advances and recedes. Opens and closes. This is a country birthed in freedom and built on slavery. […] What makes this feel so bad now is that we expect more. And that is a good thing. This pain is progress. But do not forget who we are and where we came from. […] This is the America I know. A beacon and a curse. Light and darkness. Hope and despair. This is America right now. But America never ends.

Day 150 playing Assassin's Creed...

... Still forget to upgrade weapons, skills and gear.

The epilogue of Assassin's Creed Black Flag had me nearly in tears. Anne's performance of "the Parting Glass" along with Edward meeting his daughter and finally settling down was very touching.

The perfect ending (beginning) to the Kenway family story.

This!

People saying stuff like “I don’t think he did it because his head wasn’t low enough to the table”, or “I don’t think he did it because there’s photo evidence of the broken glass”. Well I don’t think he did it because he’s not dumb. Simple as that. I don’t think Damiano David snorted cocaine on camera because he’s not a stupid idiot.

You know what makes a stupid idiot though? Thinking anyone can sneak illegal substances past a security checkpoint that probably doesn’t even allow you to bring your own bottled water, and then choosing to use said substances in an environment that is not only being widely filmed for millions of people to see, but also certainly has police on standby. THINK people.

Not good, guys. I nearly spit out my ALPRO Soya Choco as soon as I saw the 1st picture

TBT to Tom Hiddleston and the cast of Coriolanus during rehearsals way back in 2013.
