I feel like based on your analyses, I’d love to know advice in terms of writing Leon? Remake Leon specifically

I’d like to know if I’m not just writing any random guy and stuff feels like Leon, you know?

Anything you have would be appreciated!

I'm glad you enjoy them <3

As far as writing advice goes, I think it'd be easier if I make a sort of outline for important parts of his character and then you can use and interpret those as you wish:

Leon has an interest in film. There was some old supplemental material from the 90s that detailed his favorite hobby was watching movies alone in the dark, and while the canonicity of that material is debatable, we know that canonically Leon is a bit of a film buff. He's made several movie references in the series including Casablanca, Pulp Fiction, and Black Hawk Down. Casablanca seems to be memorable to him because he quotes several lines of the movie (while drunk) during Vendetta. According to the material I referenced earlier, his favorite movie was the French Connection.

A core part of his character is that he cares deeply for protecting innocent people, even if that means potentially sacrificing himself in the process. While dealing with bioterror is part of his job, Leon takes a special interest in saving as many innocent people as he can, seemingly out of guilt. There's a part in RE6 where Leon and Helena are on a time crunch and Leon goes to help people, but Helena says they don't have time. Leon replies then they'll make time and sort of goes "off course" to help them.

Building off that last point, he's got survivor's guilt up the wazoo. This is heavily touched on in RE2 and RE4R's opening narration too. Leon blames himself for the deaths of innocent people he was unable to save, even though, realistically, there is absolutely no way he'd be able to save everyone. Survivor's guilt is also a hallmark of PTSD, which we know Leon has anyway based on how he describes things and his behavior.

TW for mental health topics // Leon has canonically struggled with alcoholism and PTSD and it can be presumed that he dealt with depression as well. In RE6, Leon talks about how he contemplated suicide during Raccoon City and in the novelization of Vendetta, Leon is pretty much passively suicidal. He's doing a lot better in Death Island, but he'd been an alcoholic for years and obviously not doing well.

He does have quite the sense of humor, although it's usually used to distract from the situation/serve as a cover. He'll crack some (cringey) jokes even in intense situations and without anyone else around.

He's highly intelligent and very observant.

The fact that he never wanted to join the government to begin with, and has been labeled their "greatest weapon" is very much a part of his character that I don't think is included explicitly in fics all that much. He's going out and risking his life on all these missions but he doesn't have a choice in the matter, and not just because it's his job, but due to the circumstances of how he got that job.

Contrary to what a lot of people say, he isn't really gruff and doesn't have much a rough exterior. That rough exterior really only comes up when he feels threatened or endangered in some way, otherwise he's pretty easy going. He was pissy with Luis because he didn't trust him, and pissy with Sasha and JD at first too due to the same reason (which is understandable since Sasha and JD did briefly kidnap him and hold a knife to his throat so...). But he's kind to Ashley immediately and tells Jason about his trauma with Raccoon City after knowing him for a few hours. He's not really cold or closed off unless he has a reason to be.

He always wants to see the good in people, even when they've previously gone against him. There's been numerous times over the franchise history where Leon works with people who were on the opposing side at first. Luis, Sasha and JD, Shen-May, etc. This is sorta related to him being really naive in RE2, but after what happened there, he got significantly better at not just immediately trusting people.

If there's anything that I didn't mention/that you're curious about, feel free to leave another ask!

Ok but like. What the fuck is there to do on the internet anymore?

Idk when I was younger, you could just go and go and find exciting new websites full of whatever cool things you wanted to explore. An overabundance of ways to occupy your time online.

Now, it's just... Social media. That's it. Social media and news sites. And I'm tired of social media and I'm tired of the news.

Am I just like completely inept at finding new things or has the internet just fallen apart that much with the problems of SEO and web 3.0 turning everything into a same-site prison?

[dj-of-the-coven]

Long collection of resources under the cut.

You're right that the internet is smaller than it used to be, but there's still some cool stuff left in the corners. I'd recommend checking checking out Neocities if you haven't--it's an independent web hosting platform like Geocities of the old web, and there are hundreds of interesting and active pages discoverable both through their search function and through web buttons (links attached to small pictures with the title of a website) within the websites themselves. Here are three examples of web buttons you may find in link pages:

Most Neocities websites have link pages or button collections with anywhere from tens to hundreds of these. Don't be afraid to explore!

If you're looking for something more like a search engine, I can point you towards Marginalia. It's not a particularly smart engine, but it's perfectly usable if you've ever been taught to use search engines back when they were mostly run through keywords instead of full sentence comprehension. There's also an "about" and "tips" section on the front page with more information. The algorithm of Marginalia can be filtered by the user to allow, disallow, or require JavaScript depending on your needs, plus there are filters designed specifically to prioritize web 1.0 sites or mostly text-based ones. It is possible to search for modern websites with it, but it can return websites from just about any decade (since the invention of the web, obviously) so long as they contain the information you're looking for. For example, here are some random interesting sites I've found using Marginalia:

Native Languages of the Americas: Native American Cultures

BASIC HTML COMPETENCY IS THE NEW PUNK FOLK EXPLOSION!

Earthbound Text Labs by Bill Eager

The possibilities for discovery are truly endless.

Now you might want to know about directories. These make browsing for websites easier, but require you to read through and judge which ones to visit, as there aren't algorithms ranking the sites besides the whim of whoever coded the directory. Some of them have themes, others don't. Here are two that I've used:

Yesterlinks Directory

Ichigo Directory

Directories can be harder to come by just by surfing the net, but they aren't impossible to find. Many personal websites have their own directories of interesting sites hidden within them.

Webrings are similar to directories, but are actually more community-based. You have to register your website to be a part of a webring, usually by sending an email to whoever runs it and meeting some kind of entry criteria. For example, my personal website used to be a part of a webring called Sweet Dreams, which was for websites that heavily utilize color palettes and images of cute things, particularly sweets. Webrings will give you access to a widget upon entry that allow visitors and other members to browse between the registered websites in a massive ring, ergo, where the term gets its name. Webrings can have any theme or criteria for entry. If you can make a website about it, you can find a webring for it.

Now, you might be wondering about social media alternatives. I can't offer much, but I can nudge you towards the idea of forums. Here's one I found that could really use some traffic. I also browse a bit on MelonLand forum, which is actually closed right now--it's currently closed on Mondays--but on any other day of the week, you can find a fun community there dedicated to web revival. You can find it through MelonLand's main page. I'd also recommend checking out SpaceHey, which is a MySpace clone that's customizable and easy to use.

I hope this is of some help to you. The internet may feel less magical than it used to be, but that doesn't mean that the spark has completely died out. These types of indie websites need more attention if we ever hope to reverse the damage done to the internet by centralization and corporate interest. People are trying to make the web a cooler place to be, but we're going to have to do the work of finding and interacting with these projects in order to get them off the ground someday.

ALSO you should consider browsing Virtual Pet List and seeing if there are any pet sites you might be interested in playing. There is a whole genre of browser games right under your nose

[sotosot]

YOU CAN READ A WEBCOMIC! Here's one. I explore trading cards! I like browsing through PKMNCards for high quality art and learning about old sets. Scryfall fulfills the same purpose for MTG. I love browsing the art in my free time!

Music Map is a great way to find new music to listen to. It's not always great, but gives me a lot to make my own choice on what to listen to next. Heck, Bandcamp always gives me new releases to preview new songs, admire new artwork, and learn about new artists.

At 5PM I can check the new Fortnite item shop! It's like my daily zodiac cause I usually have a vague idea of what's coming next.

So much cool stuff to do!

[requiesticat]

Furvilla is a pet site I visit on a daily basis. You can upload art to make your pets/villagers look like OCs and give them different occupations (doctor, cook, explorer, warrior, etc). The forums are a good way to do commissions, if you're looking to earn money.

The userbase is dying. FV needs more members, so sign up! It's free

Found this cool little jigsaw game while researching children's books. It seems simple, but I wasted an hour putting the puzzles together

Just search for a book title, or pick one from the site. Then you choose how many pieces you want the puzzle to have.

this is oddly specific but i absolutely adore the way you draw fur.... it looks like if you were to pet it down it would just fwip back up its wonderful and i love it

I think I know what you mean! That's so nice to hear, it's precisely the look I often aim for!

This is maybe a little off topic but there's this one particular coat type I try so hard to capture believably. I always think of it as "borzoi back fur" because a friend of mine had a borzoi with this sort of fur on her neck and back and they were just the softest, bounciest, most gravity defying curls ever.

I do my best but the results vary.

[nanistar]

a few years ago i was wishing that there were more flat-faced cats in the Clans because they really need some physical diversity, and ended up creating flickerfur.

she's a loyal shadowclan cat and becomes brokenstar's mate (she loves him, he doesn't care for her and is more or less just using her for appearances.) just before he starts using child soldiers, she tells him that she is pregnant and he makes a comment like "they will be excellent pawns" or some freak shit like that, and she realizes like. whoa. this guy's fucked up. so she leaves to twolegplace and lives on the streets for a bit until the news travels that he has been dethroned from Shadowclan. she returns with her kittens and is welcomed with open arms. later at a gathering, fireheart notices the very unique facial structures that the apprentices have, and strikes up a conversation.

anyway i can't stop thinking about grandma yellowfang.
