DISCLAIMER! these are all personal headcanons i've been rotting in my mind since. idk for a long time i suppose??? please take everything with a grain of salt or disagree!!
okay first thing's first. i do think leon is a big mama's boy. i think it's been mentioned that leon's parents were involved in a crime circle somewhere, and i've seen a headcanon of his dad being in an italian mob/crime circle going around, and i think that's the one i mostly believe.
because of that, i do think he's come to hate the smell of cigarettes because it reminds him too much of when his dad would smoke away his problems instead of talking things out with his mom. he was never a physically abusive person or the like, but he was definitely emotionally absent.
he takes a lot of time taking care of his appearance since that's how he spent time with his mom--watching her do her makeup or her hair during the rare occasions where his father would take her out on a date.
and this leads me to believe that he's a very forgiving person. the kind who'd give second, third, fourth, or however many chances because that's just the environment he grew up in y'know? he's spent the majority of his childhood watching his mom forgive his father over and over again and hold no resentment for him when he chooses to smoke his problems away.
also feeds into the idea of why he's so attached to the idea of ada wong in general: because if his mom could forgive his deadbeat dad, why wouldn't he do the same?
i know i joke abt him being a fake blonde, but i do think he's a bit blonde. probably took after his dad in terms of physical appearance, with his mom's softer facial features. so when raccoon city happened, his first thought was to find the face of comfort: his mother. but he looked more like his dad when he dyed his hair blonde. had mixed feelings about it but never dyed his hair back to its dirty blonde/brown color because. this might be the last time he gets to see his dad.
probably wanted to take ballet or gymnastics as a kid but his dad refused to let him play any "girl sport" so he took taekwondo instead.
I DO THINK HIS DAD HAUNTS HIM A LOT!! like the idea of a crime circle/mob member suddenly withdrawing from the life he knew because his mom was pregnant with leon? the idea of him becoming better was always there, y'know? he probably thinks that if they lived long enough, maybe until leon at least graduated from the police academy, he could arrest his own dad to make him serve time in jail for all he's done.
not physically affectionate but makes up for it in acts of service. very popular trope in fics that i always eat up because. it feels very him. but his actions are very awkward, unsure, and he hesitates a lot. you can maybe see the gears turning in his head because he's unsure if he'll breach an unknown boundary with his actions.
prefers hot showers but cold weather. i cannot explain this it just feels like him okay....
definitely think he's bonding with his dad whenever he plays music; rock, punk, metal, because despite the loudness, his dad never once asked him to turn it off.
thinks he's getting that father-son bonding time when he's a few bottles deep, too. the apple doesn't fall far from the tree because, as rare as it was, his dad did drink his sorrows and regrets during some nights. raises a quiet toast in his honor when it's his final glass. because, yeah, he was absent the majority of his life, but he at least tried to be better when he hadn't been born yet. makes him believe that his mom's forgiveness wasn't all for nothing.
makes wishes during 11:11 when he catches the time. doesn't actively wait for the hour, but if he happens to see it, he'll make a little wish in his head. it's nothing major; maybe him asking for a better coffee machine in the office, hoping that the old lady he helped cross the road is okay. he never makes wishes for himself.
got his corny one-liners and humor from his mom. definitely watched her try to woo his dad with compliments and pick-up lines. sometimes it worked, and he'd grace them with a little scoff, never a smile; mostly, it's just him ignoring her the entire time. but leon would always catch his dad slipping a small note under his mom's door. he never got to find out what he wrote.
okay that is all i think... i was thinking about this while. in the shower. and then forgot about it because i binged witch hat atelier LMFAOOO ily leon s. kennedy and wtv is wrong with you
distance is such a cruel little thing. you and i are so far apart, i start envying the sun that would kiss your skin in the morning, and the moon and stars you wish upon when evening comes. but it makes me all the more fonder. or in which i offer you a little humble gift in the form of pinterest boards 🐳🤍
number of pins ≠ how much i cherish our friendship. i'm very picky when it comes to moodboards and boards in general, so please, if your board has fewer pins than the others, do not think i care/love you any less!!
the pictures in your boards are what vibes you give off in my mind.
for my newer mutuals or to the ones i haven't gotten the chance to interact much with, please do not fret! i will get to your boards soon 🙂↕️🙂↕️
every board will be updated every once in a while. i am training myself to be a #pinterestwarrior again.
THIS WAS ACTUALLY A PLAN OF MINE SINCE UMMM... late february. but college hit me like a train so i was only able to get it out now....
thank you to cee (danhcees) and kai (cyroculus) since i saw them doing this first!!! lovely mutuals i'm giving you a small smooch on the cheek /p and delivering your fav jollibee order in spirit
