People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.
he's having too much fun (& so am I)
Leon S. Kennedy SFW Alphabet.
⋇⊶⊰❣⊱⊷⋇
Oh my god, this is my first post! I'm nervous because I'm new to posting fanfiction on Tumblr. If you see any mistakes, please let me know. Like I said, I'm new to this site, so I hope you like it!, I apologize for any spelling mistakes; English is not my native language.
┏━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━┓
A - Affection: He is subtle and a bit shy in public due to his reputation as a government agent, he limits himself to holding your hand firmly or keeping a hand on your lower back, BUT in private, he becomes much more physical, he loves burying his face in your neck while hugging you from behind, sighing deeply as if he could finally drop the entire weight of the world off his shoulders.
B - Boundaries: Leon respects your space completely and will never pressure you to talk about something that makes you uncomfortable, however, he has his own boundaries too, there are "forbidden zones" in his mind related to Raccoon City or the U.S. government, he doesn't like being pushed when he retreats into his thoughts, he prefers you to just be there by his side, waiting until he decides to speak on his own. With time, he might share some of what happened in Raccoon City.
C - Comfort: If you are having a bad day or crying, Leon immediately goes into "emotional rescue" mode, he won't give you a long motivational speech, but he will sit with you, wipe your tears with his thumbs with incredible gentleness, and make you a warm cup of coffee or tea, he will stay there holding you in silence for as long as needed, reminding you that you are safe, he is a sweetheart.
D - Domestic: His daily life at home is heavily influenced by his training, he is impeccably neat, his civilian clothes are perfectly folded, the kitchen is left spotless after use, and he likes to keep a clear inventory of the pantry, he thoroughly enjoys mundane tasks like washing dishes or vacuuming, as that boring normalcy is his greatest fantasy.
E - Emotion: It's hard for him to accept how much he loves you because love scares him, in his line of work, caring for someone is equivalent to giving his enemies a weak spot, he has seen too many people die or turn into monsters, at the beginning of the relationship, he might seem a bit distant or hesitant about committing completely, so he requires a lot of patience on your part.
F - Fights: It is almost impossible to make Leon yell at you or lose his temper, if there is a serious disagreement, he will remain remarkably stoic, arms crossed and listening, if the tension gets too high, he will tell you in a soft voice that he needs to go for a run or get some air to cool off, when he returns, he will sit at the table ready to resolve the issue in a mature and logical way.
G - Gifts: Forget about giant teddy bears, leon’s gifts are practical and thought out for your daily well-being, he might gift you a high-quality leather jacket identical to his so you don't get cold, a tactical alarm keychain, or notice that your car's windshield wipers are worn out and replace them with new ones without you even asking.
H - Honesty: Leon is clear as water with you, he doesn't know how to play mind games or sugarcoat painful truths, but that same honesty makes his compliments the most real things in the world, if he looks you in the eye and tells you that you are the best thing that has ever happened to him, you can be one hundred percent sure he means it with all his soul.
I - Identity: Seeing Leon without his agent "armor" is a massive privilege, outside of work, he stops meticulously styling his iconic bangs (haha), letting it look messy and natural, letting you see the subtle dark circles of his chronic fatigue, his combat scars on his shoulders, and his expressions of genuine vulnerability in bed is his way of telling you that you are his only safe home.
J - Jealousy: Leon trusts you completely, but he does not trust the rest of the world. If he notices someone is making you uncomfortable or flirting with you aggressively, he won't make a scene, he will simply walk up to you, wrap his arm around your waist with quiet possessiveness, and stare down the individual with the cold, sharp, lethal glare of a man who has taken down global bioterrorist threats.
K - Kisses: His kisses are soft, lingering, and convey a deep sense of relief, he loves giving you quick kisses on the forehead or cheek before heading out the door for a mission or a meeting with the president, saving the deep, slow, and passionate kisses for when he returns home and can lock the door behind him.
L - Loyalty: Unwavering and absolute, once Leon falls for you, you become his number one priority over any government order or sense of duty, he would move heaven and earth, hack systems, or face his own agency if it guaranteed you would be safe from any danger.
M - Mornings: He wakes up very early due to his military body clock, often before the sun rises, instead of getting up right away, he will stay lying on his side watching you sleep for several minutes, gently brushing strands of hair away from your face and enjoying the sound of your peaceful breathing.
N - Nights: He suffers from bouts of insomnia and recurring nightmares caused by the PTSD of his missions, it’s common for you to wake up in the middle of the night and see him sitting on the edge of the bed or walking around the house in pajama pants, double-checking the locks on the windows and doors before he can calm his mind.
O - Overprotective: This is his biggest flaw in the relationship, sometimes it’s hard for him to switch off his survival instinct, when walking down the street, he will always make you walk on the inside of the sidewalk, in a restaurant, he will choose the table with a direct view of the emergency exit and discreetly analyze every person who approaches you.
P - Patience: He has infinite patience and a very teaching nature, if you want to learn how to shoot to feel safe, change a tire, or even cook a complex dish, he will take all the time in the world to teach you step-by-step, celebrating each of your small achievements with a genuine smile.
Q - Quality Time: His ideal date is not at a loud club or a fancy gala dinner, for him, the perfect quality time is shared silence in the living room: you wrapped up in your hobbies (reading, exercising, or working) and him sitting next to you on the couch reading a book or simply with his head in your lap, enjoying the simple peace of your presence, of course he will take you to upscale restaurants, but he prefers being with you at home.
R - Romance: His romance is very unconventional but deeply tender, don't expect handwritten poems, but you will find sticky notes on the bathroom mirror wishing you a good day, your car with a full tank of gas thanks to him, and simple yet delicious dinners waiting for you on the table when you get home late from work.
S - Support: Leon is your unmovable rock, no matter how silly or small you think your work or family problem is, he will turn off his phone, lean forward, and listen with his full attention, he will validate your frustrations and help you strategically break down the problem to find a solution together.
T - Touch: Since he is not a man of grand speeches or poetic words, physical touch is his primary love language, he likes to maintain a constant physical connection when you are together, resting his hand on your thigh while driving, intertwining his fingers with yours under the tableresting, or brushing his feet against yours in bed.
U - Understanding: Having lived through unimaginable trauma, Leon is the least judgmental person in the world, if you have irrational fears, insecurities about your body, or anxiety attacks, he will never make you feel silly or dramatic, on the contrary, he will wrap you in his arms and remind you that it is perfectly okay.
V - Voice: His tone of voice changes drastically when he goes from giving orders to talking to you, in the privacy of your home, his voice becomes much lower, deeper, and slightly drawn-out, losing all military tension, he will speak to you almost in whispers in your ear, using an incredibly peaceful tone that has the instant power to calm your nerves.
W - Wild Card: Behind his serious facade, Leon has a highly sarcastic and ironic sense of humor (just like in Resident Evil 4). If he feels completely comfortable with you, he will drop terrible dad jokes or sarcastic remarks with a completely straight face, just to see if you are paying attention and to make you laugh (though you usually just stare at him blankly because you didn't get the joke).
X - Xpressions: Leon learned to communicate a lot through his gaze due to years of not knowing how to express himself, you will know exactly what he is feeling just by looking into his eyes, they become noticeably softer and brighter when he watches you smile, but they turn dark and narrowed if he is exhausted or worried about something from work.
Y - Yearning: When he is deployed on classified international missions that last for weeks or months in areas with no cellular service, he has a really hard time, he carries a physical photo of you tucked into the inner pocket of his vest, or in his wallet, right next to his heart, looking at it at night is the only thing that keeps him sane and motivated to come back home.
Z - Zzz: Your presence is the only effective sleeping pill for his hyper-vigilant mind, Leon can only fall into a deep and truly restful sleep if he has you held tight against his chest or if he feels your body heat nearby, your rhythmic breathing acts like a switch that turns off his mental alarms, allowing him to truly rest.

It's a trick! If you reblog you get TWO käpylehmäs in your blog!
They're traditional Finnish toys, little cows made out of spruce cones, on their way to see the world from one tumblr blog to another
@elodieunderglass not horrible, but things with legs?
I’ll send them on their lovely journey, thank you!
Resident Evil 6 Character Selection
‼️Russians hit Odesa with missiles: three people killed, three injured.
A seven-story residential building was destroyed. A non-residential building and a gas pipeline were also damaged in the attack. A fire broke out, which firefighters quickly extinguished.

russian culture
Russian activism is much closer to what a large part of Western audiences are used to than Ukrainian activism or the genuinely heroic and compassionate actions Ukrainians take. That's because Russian activism often shares the same element of privilege that much of Western activism does.
The recent example of the Russian couple holding up an no war sign during a marriage proposal on top of a tower is probably the clearest example of this. It's the kind of thing that easily fits booktok aesthetics and inspires edits where people imagine themselves in that moment, while completely ignoring the fact that it didn't actually help anyone or change anything. In terms of real impact, it's on the same level as posting a black square on Instagram.
There was no attempt to raise money for actual aid or direct people toward organizations that are genuinely helping.
It's simply a nice gesture — an activist version of "let them eat cake", where having a beautiful, symbolic moment matters more than creating real change.
It's a form of privileged activism where actually changing the situation isn't the important part.
The actions of Ukrainians during a genocidal war are the complete opposite. They're focused on actually saving lives, which makes the contrast even more obvious by showing what genuinely helps and what doesn't. For people who are invested in this kind of activism, acknowledging that difference would require rethinking their own beliefs, so it's often easier to simply ignore those actions instead.
Another reason for this is that these Russians are living peacefully in other countries, in circumstances much closer to the everyday lives of Western audiences. They're simply easier for them to relate to than Ukrainians living through war.
I've also often heard Ukrainian activists say that they have to think very carefully about how to communicate with this part of the Western audience. For many of them, almost everything is considered "outside of politics" and the war is reduced to "two presidents having a conflict". Because of that, even lectures about Russia's cultural genocide against Ukraine have to be framed in ways that won't upset people who insist on separating Russian culture from politics, even when that framing directly contradicts the reality of Russia's actions against other nations.
Honestly, it reminds me of how many of these same activists reacted to the protests in Iran.
People whose lives are in danger don't have the luxury of focusing on big beautiful gestures. For them, activism is about survival, not about creating aesthetically powerful moments.
so one of the largest open source data communities on the internet, data.world, got bought out by a company called ServiceNow, who has decided to fucking delete all of it by July 11th. they've given users barely any notice, no emails, just a fucking banner at the top and a blog post from June that gives barely a month to download your data before they fucking delete it all.
a bunch of archives of incredibly important government datasets like maternal mortality statistics are about to be deleted forever. in a regime where they're known to fudge numbers, we can't trust a lot of the data coming from them to not be altered. open source backups like those found on data.world are vital to being able to verify that the data coming from our government is still intact and not altered. and they're about to delete all of it.
i don't know if we need to start a petition or what. nobody seems to fucking care. there are millions of users on data.world and yet nobody is raising the alarm bells and it makes me feel like I'm going insane. somebody needs to do something. i don't know what to do. it feels like more and more of this world is being destroyed and dismantled. it's not only US centric data, either! it's all sorts of countries from around the world! and they're about to fucking delete everything.
the only things that won't be deleted are private companies who happen to use the paid version of their platform (which isn't accessible data to the open source community; some people have just been using their service to host their own data on privately)
and the kicker? this announcement was made... via an AI generated blog post. so not even any sort of human touch. just a generic, soulless announcement made by a soulless human about to take a wrecking ball to one of the more important websites that exists on the internet.
an example of some of the things that will be deleted on July 11th:
Have you posted this to r/datahoarder? They would probably be most prepared for preservation efforts on such a short time frame
I haven't, I don't really have a reddit anymore. if somebody else would be willing to do that, that would be great. I'm pretty sure it only lets you post with a certain amount of karma now which is annoying
It looks like this has gotten onto Reddit and people are saving the data - but I can imagine researchers who uploaded assets won’t know this, so hopefully can reach some.

There are over 3500 respectable data repositories on one respectable global registry; to a researcher there’s no point in data existing if not findable; if you’re trying to find a new home for your dataset, start there

Curious how we know it was 'AI generated'. I agree with the rest of the post, but while this has a lot of empty corporate speak, they really do be like that, and it is still tighter copy than I expect from AI, and the type of thing that would usually have a lot of eyeballs on it for legal reasons. Source: I have helped refine messaging like this.
Not saying OP is wrong, I'm just curious how we know or if it was just assumed because the words sound empty. Corporate words are often empty, but I need people to take a step back from just asserting shit is 'AI' without any other evidence.
So, White Castle has a recipe site, and this might be the wildest corporate recipe site I've ever run across. Every time I remember this site exists, I start cracking up. I desperately want to know who (if anyone) has ever willingly made any of these recipes.
In 1921, it all started out so innocently. A five-cent small hamburger. A Castle-shaped restaurant. And nothing like it before, or since. A
My favorite recipes below (all of these use White Castle menu items as ingredients):
this is the one meme that manages to age like a fine wine
I am trying so hard to get back to creating music and so I am making a bunch of short tests and demos so far.
One of them is this test of a 'Clone Theme' from StarWars as some sort of sad/creepy piano version, you name it.
Being new around here I decided to try to share it And I hope you will like it! ♫♫♫

this is such an insane thing to post, what if a minor sees this and thinks it's real? no one on here even considers the risks of posting anymore
In my restless dreams I see that man/woman 😂😅
