era: any and many unless mentioned!
Leon Kennedy Headcanons (5)
Heās an ass man. I said what I said.
Besides ass, I donāt think Leon would have much of a preference for body type. As long as you're healthy with a good mindset towards it, heās happy.
Heās seen so much death, so much mutation, so much mutilation...everything that the body shouldnāt be. Plus, in the world he works - politics, power, money, etc. - itās all about appearance. While I think Leonās well-groomed appearance is due mostly to control and fitness, I think a lot of the people around him could be very well caught up in chasing vanity. Thereās just so much ugliness in all of it, and for Leon, the glimmer would shine away from that gold in time.
Honestly, the biggest appeal would be a natural human body. The stretch marks, the moles, the movementā¦ Everything is just so mundane, so human, so real.
It has more of an effect than one would suspect.
The sexiest thing you could do is have a good heart.
āI think itās easier to save the world than it is to save your soul.ā
Younger Leon might have more of a wandering eye, but as he matured, older, more seasoned Leon definitely grew to prioritize integrity. Even if the goal is righteous, he values those who donāt sell out in the process. Yes, there is a time and space for compromise, but he sees such beauty in those who don't lose their soul.
He knows itās a tad naive and stupid, but that type of person keeps him bearing north while the world grabs at his compass.
Leon also values quiet, subtle strength.
Itās easy to see Leon as a brute due to his finishing blows, but really, heās rather introspective. Leonās mental and emotional intelligence makes him just as powerful as his biceps do.
Restraint is difficult. While the masses praise candor retaliation, Leon values those who deny that immediate gratification. Thatās not to say that he doesnāt want someone to stand up for themself, rather there is an allure towards those that take aim before dealing their blows or know when to hold fire.
Leon is a classic when it comes to gift giving. Roses, chocolates, and jewelry. Sure, those expand once he realizes your tastes, but at the end of the day, those scream romance to him.
I also think heād be one to get you a teddy bear. It would be something that he won at a fair for you, because honestly, he seems the type to pride himself at beating the carnival algorithm. Sure, some would say you're both too old for stuffed animals, but he wanted you to have something when he wasnāt home. If he ever sees you sleeping with it, consider him whipped.
I regret to inform us all: I fear he is a toilet reader.
Leon - must you meet your word count on the shitter, my love?
This is a personal ick for me. Maybe itās not for you. Idk, you do you, diva. I wonāt yuck your yum. I love the man regardless.
I think he has a thing for long hair, but I also donāt think he realizes that he has a thing for long hair.
Most of the women he knows work in the field to some degree. Long hair is only an asset to your enemy in a fight, so they either keep it short or pin it back. It would be rare to date someone with truly long hair.
He would mindlessly play with it. He would enjoy the sight of it blowing in the wind. Heās a tad starry-eyed when it's loose and cascading over their shoulders.
There's something about it that reminds him of all the illustrations in fairytale books heād seen as a kid. It's a reminder of things that are from a softer and more innocent time...
Leon is not a clumsy person, but heās also human, so heās not immune to the clumsies either. I feel like he has to trip up the stairs at least once, or bang his hip on a doorway at least twice in a day.
On missions, he l.o.c.k.s.i.n. but at home? The man is running on fumes. You canāt tell me the sleep doesnāt catch up with him, where that pinkie toe is on the hunt for the nearest table leg to kiss. š
I also think Leon misplaces things more than heād like to admit. On missions, Iām sure his jacket casualties are due to the fact that heās consistently outrunning an apocalypse. However, at home, I think itās, again, mostly due to sleep deprivation.
Home is the only time he can really āturn offā, but even then, the opportunity is far and few. Plus, I donāt think Leon ever really āturns offā because home has never felt like home.
Car keys, wallet, pensā¦ he has a bowl at the entryway where everything gets put once he gets back. While Leon may be a bit of a mess at times, heās a proactive mess. Heāll find some way to curb the chaos.
I headcanon that Leon had a vasectomy. Odd note to end this update on, but hear me out.
I donāt see him wanting to bring kids into his world. I think the weight of the worldās corruption would dissuade him from that lifestyle. Moreover, the fact that he could disappear at any momentā¦ the fact that a loved one has already been used as leverageā¦
Heās an empath. I think it would be hard enough to convince him to let a partner into that world, let alone a child who has no form of genuine consent to it. Itās not that he doesnāt like the idea of it. Itās the fact that he loves it so much heās willing to give it up in order to protect it.
Leon is a man of control, and I donāt think heād trust a partner with a risk of pregnancy, especially if itās a casual hook-up. In fact, I wouldnāt be surprised if he utilizes multiple forms of contraceptives. This characteristic is on his laundry list of reasons as to why he wouldnāt be a good partner. ā¹ļø
