guess I’m just posting all my thoughts about the section of RE4 I played today.

why do a lot of people act like Leon is just defenseless in the face of Ada? like he obviously cares about her, and will do risky stuff to keep her safe, but that is not unique. that’s just… Leon.

and he straight up held a knife to her throat and disarmed her soooo. defenseless my ass.

like yes I understand that he cares about her a lot, and doesn’t want to fight her, but can we stop acting like he’s not a grown, specially trained, man?

your mileage about how bad Ada was in RE2 may vary, but since then there has never been a real power imbalance between them.

she does often have more information than him, but that’s because she’s working for different people. so she definitely has the upper hand in that aspect, but Leon is also skilled at getting information if he wants it. (and is in a situation where he is able to look for it lol. sometimes he’s genuinely too busy not dying.)

but Ada often having information over Leon does not make her able to exert anything over him. like in 2 there’s a valid argument that her withholding information did give her some amount of power over him.

but he was also a rookie cop who didn’t even know zombies existed until a couple hours ago.

Leon is now a professional in his field, as Ada is.

I’m not even talking about this in terms of a ship, though there is that too. I don’t ship Aeon, but if we wanna talk about people using their power over Leon, Ada’s really not who we should be talking about. 🫠

asked one of my coworkers how she's doing today and she goes "could be better, could be worse," and another coworker nearby who was eavesdropping chimes in with "could be a lil bit o' alligator curse!" i have no idea what he meant by that but i do know that it has been immediately added to the lexicon.

yyymmmrrr

"How to get out of a reading slump" advice is normally like, pick up something light and easy, something fun, something similar to stuff you've enjoyed reading in the past.

But when that fails, I cannot recommend enough: going to the library/bookstore, to a section you don't normally read, and reading the blurbs of any and every book that catches your attention for whatever reason, until you find one that leaves you with a burning question that can only be answered by reading the whole book.

Never underestimate the power of Needing to Know The Answer.

Like, I'm an avid epic fantasy reader. I like big series, complicated plotlines with tons of characters and settings. I struggle to get through classics or anything non-fiction, and I never browse the mystery or thriller sections.

And yet, so far the list of books that have broke a reading slump for me include: Jane Eyre, Cymbeline (Shakespeare play), Pretty Little Liars, Piranessi (fantasy, yes, but not my normal variety), a mystery about a 13 year old girl who suspecrs she was kidnapped as a baby, a non-fiction book on the bureaucracy behind the gestapo, and a non-fiction memoir about the residential school that used to be near where I live.

Curiosity is a muscle that needs to be stretched, and it feels good! And brains crave novelty, variety! Just like how we need variety in our diets to get enough nutrients, I think brains need a variety of "nutrients" (experiences) too. I wonder how often my reading slumps are the result of my brain getting "bored" with the usual.

When I was younger, I read in a cookbook that many high-caliber French restaurants will test potential new hires by asking them to make an omelet. And now, years later, every time I flub an omelet I'm like, "Sacre bleu, if I was a fugitive of the law with no choice but to seek a new life working in French food service, I would not survive! These are very normal thoughts for American woman who has never taken a culinary course."
