Hey there!

Here is an introductory post of my page.

TO BEGIN, I'm primarily a fanfic writer. Though I post the occasional art piece (and the rare edit), you'll mostly find me reading and writing fic. Otherwise, I'll be reblogging or posting meta thoughts.

MY CURRENT FANDOMS:

Resident Evil

Harry Potter

I’d appreciate if you sent me stuff in my ASK BOX. It’s nice, talking to someone or answering their asks. Also, please do your daily click for Palestine!

Free Palestine

What else, what else? I’m not sure what else to say. Just that thank you for stopping by and that this intro is subject to be updated. Thanks for checking out my page!

ik it’s not the best, but I drew a scene for my Aeon fic Limerence just because i liked it sm

Rinse and repeat

[citrine-elephant]

thinking of someone like hunnigan holding say... a philly cheesesteak, pointed out towards leon while she works with her other hand. leon's sat beside her and taking bites, no hands.

it is leon's sandwich. hunnigan is doing this willingly. its so casual that both of them are taken aback when someone enters the room and bewilderedly asks, "uhh, what the hell are you guys doing?"

or, leon and hunnigan are in a very dog and dogsitter kind of friendship and neither one bats and eye. social freaks, yknow?

and maybe leon's got two broken arms and hunnigan's the only one at the office who'll help him lol

[glowstar826]

Lmaoooo this is brilliant! Hunnigan would totally do something like this for him. This scenario is so cute!

Not sure why it's a new trend among fic readers to assume if the fic has not been posted within the week it's inappropriate to comment on it, like the fic has to be hot out of the oven to give feedback for.

I got a comment on a fic that is less than a year old and it was mostly an apology for being a comment on an "old fic" and how late they were in commenting.

Just comment on the fic. Doesn't matter how old it is.

[mysteryteacup]

Fandom is not social media.

Fandom is not trends.

Fandom is a cross between a library and having a slumber party with your friends.

"Old" means nothing to fic.

I was thinking about how these things never fail to make characters sexier:

scars

eyebags and insomnia due to frequent nightmares

more scars

Nod if you agree

learning to notice an absence of people of color is crazy. you start seeing it everywhere. ill see a random pic of characters or people or whatever and be like "these are all white people. why"

[gandalfsbignaturals]

all the babies in those baby youtube video memes. humanized character posts. like. its the little innocent shit. and like, the people making those baby memes probably arent seeking out white babies. maybe theyre just easier to find. but why are they easier to find? a complicated question, surely... but you know what it probably comes down to. someone, somewhere, maybe a lot of someones in a lot of places, made a choice. maybe knowingly, maybe not. but they made a choice. it starts to make you feel like a conspiracy theorist!!

[gandalfsbignaturals]

its really funny that after 2 months this post is still making racists come into my askbox treating me like im a horrible person for pointing out that sometimes people of color are excluded from things in visible and offputting ways. cry about it

[glowstar826]

You know how Grace accidentally called Leon “mom” and the fandom realized that Leon and Alyssa look HELLA similar?

Well!

Imagine Leon had so much trauma from watching his family get killed that his brain wiped the memory of the event… which made him forget the existence of his older sister, who also survived.

According to the wiki, Alyssa was born circa 1970, which would’ve made her seven years older than Leon. Maybe she escaped, but she and Leon were immediately separated by the system, which left Leon to fend for himself. He never learns about her in the years following their separation, and for reasons unknown, Alyssa doesn’t reach out to him either.

It’s only when Leon asks Grace about her mother in an effort to get to know her better that he learns about Alyssa watching her family get killed. The way Grace describes it is uncanny to his own experience, which rattles him very much.

He looks for answers using his government access, and he finds the case on his family’s murder listing two survivors: himself and… a teenage girl named Alyssa. Who looks like exactly like Grace’s mother.

Leon raises a shaking hand over his mouth, unable to hold back tears, as he realizes he had a sister who’d been so close to him, yet so far. He mourns that he could never get to meet Alyssa, and he briefly feels anger that he even learned this in the first place. However, he still wants to know more about his sister from Grace, who he realizes is his niece.

The discovery is bittersweet. After the events of his latest mission, where trusting Grace to not destroy Elpis saved his life, he’s more inclined to accept the sweet part and move on from the bitter.

He resolves to believe in hope once more.

I think what I love the most about Aeon is that unlike most people surrounding him, Ada doesn't view Leon as a hero, savior, or a living weapon. Ada still looks and Leon and sees straight through to his heart, she sees that sweet little rookie cop she saved in Raccoon City. And that's what she loves about him the most.

[glowstar826]

Yes exactly!! I love how they're able to see straight through each other, tethering them in a way neither can often comprehend.

re6 aeon is so yummy. feeling nostalgic about them

Hey so just out of curiosity, why is the whole Redfield bloodline joke problematic?

Oh this rabbit hole goes deep, but don't worry, I will explain what I know about it.

The joke has been prevalent in the fandom for years now, and the gist of it is that Chris Redfield desperately wants Leon Kennedy to have sex with his sister Claire because Leon's "superior genetics" would make for a powerful offspring. There are obvious issues with this, namely that it completely disregards Claire and Leon's consent in this and portrays Chris as having a bizarre fixation over his sister's sex life.

And if you already are getting a weirdly racist and eugenicist vibe from that... just wait.

Let's look at some of the memes of this that have circulated throughout the years.

Here is one with almost 3 million views: https://youtu.be/b8arsaikGZU?si=rF2oIxED1P-y76Bp

Talking about Leon and his "Aryan sperm" which is just... ew. Implying that Leon's blond hair and blue eyes is what makes him a desirable partner for Claire. Also note how in this, a common theme is that Leon always appears very resistant and Claire is just kinda... there. Her brother is making the decisions for her. If you watch enough of these, you'll also notice how Ada's race is always brought up somehow, which doesn't have great implications when the joke is that Claire is a better option for Leon or something. It is just such a gross way to portray every character involved here. It's racist to Ada. It reduces Claire's character to a baby machine.

As for the consent issue, here is an example of a trend I've seen frequently (starts around timestamp 6:30, TW for sexual assault): https://youtu.be/G9XcSCJbYds?si=S4cFyNRQZxSObOYX

So this includes a scene that is a reference to the Redfield bloodline "joke" and you know what it is? Chris literally corners Leon in a bathroom and sexually assaults him to try and get his sperm for Claire. Yikes! This is one of the more blatant examples of the obvious issue of Leon's consent, but I've seen this type of joke made frequently and I'm pretty uncomfortable with it. Keep in mind, this is on YouTube with zero warning and appears to be played for a joke.

I hope this explains it because I feel like these two examples really just speak for themselves. You see these same kinds of sentiments echoed whenever people make "Redfield bloodline" jokes so needless to say, the implications here are pretty awful and I'm not a fan of this meme at all.

[quackysprouts]

remake leon is very different from the og. he looks a lot more stern and the concept arts show him as almost like a delinquent type.

i wanted to do a quick study of his face. i also mentioned before that zombie-leon’s scent will no longer be human, so if he had a dog it will cease to recognize him. that dog is this bloodhound (although in the zombie universe, he had no pets)

[glowstar826]

It’s so interesting because his OG version definitely looks Italian-American unlike blond hair, blue eyes Leon, who looks more like he has Irish ancestry.
