Another talking post. 🙂 It's almost weird for me to make them but I like saying my thoughts and opinions. Even if not many see these. THIS HAS RESIDENT EVIL 9: REQUIEM SPOILERS.

Okay, since I've finished my first play through of RE9, I finished a couple weeks ago, the Tuesday after it came out. I loved it. It was a terrific game. I had so much fun. I love Grace, I was a bit iffy at first before the game came out but she's a favorite character now. Leon was amazing as always, lmao. I got the canon ending. I liked Victor Gideon's character a LOT. Grace's sections had me on edge and genuinely jumping. I cried when Grace's flashback scene played, when Emily died and at the end when I'd finished and the credits rolled. One of the best games I've ever played and I can't wait to see what the DLCs are gonna have, and what the next game is gonna hold.

On another note, I wanted to mention things I've seen and say what I think. I mentioned in a prior post my things on shipping and such. Not my thing, not my favorite area, blah blah, BUT, I think it's genuinely gorged itself to the point that it's an almost entitled spot. Leon's married, we get confirmation in game with him wearing a ring (he's married to ME 😤, jk, a girl can wish), but his spouse is never mentioned. I liked that. Correction, I LOVED that. I loved the fact it's not confirmed to be anyone exact! No one has to deal with it being someone they don't like, people can believe whoever they want is the answer, and people who don't really want it to matter get covered too. If they address who it is, I feel like they'd be fucking up. I personally like the idea he married a civilian, someone not dragged into the mess.

I've seen so many people genuinely shit on each other for who they ship him with, and yeah, it's not like I can change anything, I wouldn't want to do that anyway. I don't want that stress, lmao. You shouldn't ever let a fandom ruin your enjoyment of a media, but I can totally see how someone might find it hard to enjoy wanting to get deep into the fandom side of it, because they're always fucking arguing! It's normal. Not everyone gets along, but it's so repetitive to try to enjoy something then OH!- A ship, fighting about a ship, incorrect information put out to adjust a character to their liking that becomes popular and blurries the truth, blatant mischaracterization, oh my! Nobody should be forced to stop what they like, unless it is harmful. Though I can see how annoying it is.

Another thing. I'm sick of people saying that if you don't like Ada, that you're jealous, just a "leon gooner", a "larp" (whatever the hell that is), or such. It's not like I hate every female RE character, I'd be a liar if I said I did because I know so many people just...do, personally, my favorite RE girl is Grace, by far. I just don't like Ada. That's not because I "don't understand her", I just don't like..her..? Like how people just hate Leon. Yeah, people hate characters just because they're really popular, or other reasons, but people really can just not like something and I'm ALLOWED to say that, and not throw every reason around, I'm allowed to say it multiple times. I think she's a great concept, I think her style is good but that's about it. Bite me. Or how people will say, "oh, you hate Ada but like Albert Wesker" or "you hate Ada but like Luis", AND? Luis changed and never got his forgiveness because he died before he got his answer, but he WANTED redemption, he TRIED for it. I loved that about him. I like Wesker, because yeah, he's fucking evil, but he's *cool*. I like Wesker's style, his voice, the way he played, but I can acknowledge that he was totally a bitch. Like Victor Gideon. Dude is insanely evil, but I love him as a character, as an antagonist. Doesn't hurt that they're good looking. (Don't hurt me about Gideon. Please, I suffer enough.) Anyway. I was honest happy to not see her included, in fact, I liked that Claire wasn't either. I liked how it was really just Leon, Grace, and Sherry, and our antagonists. That's all. Thank you. Play Requiem, AGAIN, if you have already.

Guess who's got Resident Evil Requiem...

We'll see what I post about it. I want to avoid spoilers as best I can because I was fighting for myself against the spoilers before it even came out (fuck all who spread them, sincerely) so I think I might hold off on actual posting until I think it's been long enough.

I'll tag any Resident Evil posts with resident evil spoilers and resident evil gameplay, so that they can be blocked. I will also add a read-more tab and mention that the post is Resident Evil related above said tab. Be safe out there, spoilers are always lurkin'.

I'm going to play through it and then play again for post. I want to see this game for myself first as I've been excitedly waiting. I feel like I'm almost done.

I think people need to talk about (toxic) shipping and the overprotectiveness of fandom, and yes, I'm yucking your yum.

Let me start that this is my opinion. If you agree, great. If you don't, that's fine, just be civil. I will respect your opinion if you respect mine the same. This isn't to change minds. Also, this might have spoilers for things, I don't know.

Shipping isn't inherently evil, of course. I think some ships are cute. I myself don't ship anyone just because I don't like it. It's not something I find joy in, but I think that some people are so up the ass of it that they become annoying, and that's okay to say because some people are. If someone doesn't like the same ship as you...okay? Why would you care? This is specifically with Aeon (LeonXAda) shippers in mind. They're some of the meanest people I've seen. I don't like that ship, simply because I don't like Ada, she's a good complex character, but I do not like her as a character. Nor do I think that ship is good. Even if she did like Leon, she still manipulated him from the start, she still worked with Wesker, she still always leaves. People forget that Raccoon City traumatized him, and that means Ada is likely apart of that. That's not to say I like Cleon (LeonXClaire), or Leshley (LeonXAshley), but I've seen them be more civil that Aeon shippers. Doesn't mean they're all mean, I'm sure some are just as sweet as others are mean, but a hit dog hollers.

My other point is people acting like they're somehow the protector of their media. Yeah, I think you should stand up for what you like, but there's standing up and then trying to direct. Your character is going to be sexualized, they're going to be called silly names and given silly headcanons, and incorrect details, you have to just...keep in mind who they are to you. I don't like everything said about P. I don't like everything said about Leon, and yeah, sometimes it's just genuinely incorrect for that character but not everyone listens. People get too overprotective, like, "This is a grown man who's a government agent btw!" And? He deserves a sweet moment. "This is a 32 year old military soldier, he's not your sweet boy." I don't know if I think he'd care that some random teenager is calling him their "sweet boy", he's probably too busy anyway. Let people live. In the same breath, yeah, people are weird. They go past silly names or sweet headcanons. I think sometimes the sexualization does eat the fandom and that sucks. I don't always wanna focus on the sex appeal. Defend your characters but expect defense back.

There's a few more ships that I dislike. More relevant to my page, like Carmeo (CarloXRomeo). Promeo (PXRomeo) falls into that category too. In game it says they had a brotherly relationship. Fanon is fine, sometimes fanon holds up the fandom more than canon does, but it's still weird to erase all platonic relationships, especially canon platonic relationships. Another thing is that people are too comfortable making weird ships. You should not be shipping family or mentors, or abusers. That shouldn't have to be said. I have seen people ship CarloXP, CarloXGeppetto, PXGeppetto/XCarlo, RomeoXArlecchino, RomeoXLea, and Carlo/PXSophia. It doesn't matter if you like it, that doesn't make you morally right. I say this with people in mind, but that doesn't mean if you have the same to go after them. Just report and block. Report and block.

Another thing I want to mention is fanfiction. I've read fanfiction for years. I think it is a blessing of creation, and fanfic writers will always have my respect, but for fuck's sake guys stop writing angst all the time. At least tag it correctly! Not everyone wants to read something sad about a comfort character, not everyone wants to find out it's angst until they're almost done. Some of us are miserable already, lol. I understand the idea of wanting to feel emotion, whether that be "good" or "bad", but it's become so prevalent to focus on angst. Or to focus on some form of dark romance. Where's the joy? The humor? What happened to crack fics, or fluff? People can write what they want, of course. I don't think people should force themselves to write what they don't like or are not good at. I know trends change, I know things go up and down, but holy hell, I've gotten tricked by TWO angst fics and they haunt me when I feel sensitive, lmao.

I guess what's made me want to speak my mind is Resident Evil 9: Requiem coming out soon. People mentioning Ada in almost every post, or saying they hope he's killed off. I hope they don't kill him off, lmao, I love his character and I have always felt I've seen familiar things in him but even if you think he's overhyped, he's someone's favorite. If you ask me, yeah, I think Ada should be the one killed off, my sincerest apologized to Ada fans, I can see why you like her but I have a vision. I have seen no one expect that, and I think they could have it played on how she always leaves to show up another time, just this time it's her last time leaving. She can get her Luis Sera moment. The undecided forgiveness in her last moments. Then maybe that too can free Leon from his work, and he can retire like he needs.

Anyway. That's all I wanted to say. Be nice.

Sometimes I feel like a fool sat here in my gaming chair crying over a video game but other times I'm reminded that there's a reason. Geppetto, you sideways piece of shit, may you never know family like you wanted too late and may you know your attempts in vain.
