ACTUAL ☆ GARBAGE

In the process of remodelling and renewal (for years now bc I'm lazy). Multifunctional Personal/Art Blog. Gets very distracted. Mostly draws stupid fan art. Is an AuADHD Trashcan. Accidentally sets self on fire. Heads up: I post what I want to here and a lot of it varies in levels of desecration. If subject matter like severe angst, fluff and over use of literary/visual devices bothers you, best not to follow. You have been warned.

Hate having to say this but based on recent Fandom Discourse, this blog is officially a Cleons DNI.

Sorry but based on what I saw, I don't feel safe or comfortable around Cleon at all at the moment and would like to keep away from that corner of Fandom. Apologies to the peeps that ship it and don't engage in discourse, it's the old saying of "a few ruin it for the many".

Infected/Plaga Moth Leon

So admittedly this took me a whole month to finish because of work, but I kept seeing a lot of @polarspaz 's Verdugo!Leon AUs and got inspired to finally draw out my own lol. Please excuse the fact that I cannot draw realism/anatomy and haven't done so in a longggg time.

I went with a moth design bc...honestly I just like moths lol

Leon's Plaga form is based off a Rosy Maple Moth with some slight traits from snowy owls in the feet. He's actually in his third and final Plaga metamorphosis form here but I'm still stumping on what to do for his first and second forms ("caterpillar" and "pupa" stages respectively) so only his "Final Form" (lol) is shown.

A few notes:

* Leon is extremely fluffy and soft, but also prone to overgrowth and clumping fur, thus needs regular grooming to maintain himself. He often trims down his fur on his limbs and hips to give him more flexibility.

*Leon's eyes shift depending on how deep into his mutation he is in the moment. His vocal chords also follow suit and he will go from talking normally to sounding only growls, warbles, chrips and purrs (essentially Toothless noises).

* While he primary takes after the Rosy Maple Moth in appearance, the topside of his wings are actually reminiscent of the Deathhead Hawk Moth. This is to help him blend in and hide better on the ground, in rubble or foliage. It has...mixed results. Also just thought it was neat.

*I took inspo from Snowy Owls for his feet because I love the idea of him being able to perch and grasp things in his talons. Beneath the fluff is just normal Verdugo feet.

* His tail is where the remains of the OG Plaga reside, in the form of a false "flower bulb" that opens up to a horrific amalgamation of teeth, tentacles and a long stinger. Fortunately Leon has no venom, though it's still barbed and dangerous.

* Despite his head looking almost completely humanish, Leon's mutation has granted him the ability to extend his jaw to a horrifying amount and his tongue is now a secret holding cell for a long probicius. Good for grabbing nectar. Bad for first impressions.

* His antenna are flexible and shift depending on his mood or mental state. Very much like cat or dog ears. Yes I went there.

There's more but I'm honestly braindead and can't think off the top of my head right now (it's 2 AM). I am also working on a Bug Ada piece to match Leon but thats still in the early stages.

Nobody: My Dumb Ass: [gives Leon Kennedy a stuffed rabbit plush he's had since childhood and still sleeps with because Trauma Comfort Object and it's the only remaining thing he has left from his parents]

👀

Wtf is wrong with you? (a lot, there's a list)

Voting ended onApr 3

[pawsimses]

Dumb RE Theories that sit in my head and are (most likely) BS:

* Ada works/worked for The Connections (presently or at some point)

* The Connections is the Rival Company

*While not explicitly stated, if Zeno is a Wesker clone, is there a chance that the Wesker from RE5 was also a clone and the real one is working from 5he shadows still? (Admittedly this was an ADHD Shower Thought, don't take it seriously)

* Leon's parents had ties to the Connections or Mafia

*Since the world thinks Ada is dead (I'll have to double check that though), she is now semi-retired and lives under a different name. And is married to Leon under said name. (Let me be delusional here, I love Aeon end game ideas lmao)

*Birkin is still alive as a monstrosity lingering in the ruins of NEST somewhere. Probably. May appear in a DLC or something idk.

*Leon finally goes to therapy post RE 9.

*Also Leon sleeps with a teddy bear because self soothing comforts are valid and I got the impression from 9 he has constant trauma-induced nightmares.

I love your art! I was wondering if you did art requests? (Sadly I’m too broke to ask for a commission).

I do not sorry

[pawsimses]

Guess who binged Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated?

I love Daphne and Daughtry's "Lionness" made me think of her soooo lol

May do the others idk but I had fun with this (there WAS supposed to be a speed paint but the vid is literally a gd seizure inducing mess bc I zoom in and out too much so not posting it lmao)

[pawsimses]

Every time I think about BG3 and how much i love these characters, I get giddy and happy inside and a fair bit sad that the fandom will eventually fade into obscurity (as all things do in the passage of time)

And I get a little sadder still because insecurities mean I feel a little oopid for being super invested in my own little bubble of headcanons when most of the world has moved on lol (why I don't post as much anymore, I feel ashamed a lil of the hyperfixation depth because its DEEP and if warranted I'd yap for HOURS)

Anyways just some 4 AM musing don't kind me lmao I'll regret this later

Likely in 8 hours

[pawsimses]

Drew Astarion as a furby due to gen chat and my inability to feckin read properly during a point in Neil's stream

No I'm not sorry

I'll feckin do it again

[pawsimses]

Man I forgot how rancid some Cleon shippers are about Aeon. God forbid people have fun with a *checks notes* fictional ship.

(Shots fired: Also, God forbid women aren't "Sweet Purehearted Claire Redfield"* and do Morally Questionable and Evil Things. I love RE but this shit is why I avoid certain sects of fandom.)

* Of which she is not btw. Claire's got her own issues and depending on the lore setting, has done her own fair share of Morally Questionable shit and I love that about her (yes I am a Claire fan, I just can't do Cleon for a variety of reasons (mainly fandom...the fandom portrayal leaves a bad taste in my mouth)

** Also I feel people forget that while Leon has a good heart and is truly a hero, him working for the government isn't??? A good thing??? Like...he was literally FORCED into it and CAN'T LEAVE. He's never getting a chance at a normal life because that right was robbed from him the moment he escape Raccoon. Worse yet, the bargaining chip used to secure his agreement? Sherry. How the hell was he supposed to say no? (Sherry sadly gets put in the exact same position years later, to escape life as bssically a test subject for the government). Neither of them had a chance. And he's unhappy. He's tired. He's burnt out. He's getting old. But he keeps going because the need to help others outweighs the cost. It's all he has at this point.

*** Also Also, hilariously enough, I hate Cleon but I ADORE Claiada alongside Aeon and even poly Claire/Ada/Leon where Leon and Claire are strictly platonic but both romancing Ada lmao

Anyways rant over

[pawsimses]

So yeah, I have a lil self-indulgent future verse for BG3 where the Spawn end up etching out a niche little vampire society that eventually expands to proper integrating vampire's into modern Fae'Run Society, and Dalyria ends up a happily married doctor with her own family, clinic and home.

Her husband, Victor, is a kinda(?) Dhampir(?) who adores her deeply and worships the ground she walks on, treats her like a Queen. Hes soft-spoken, gentle and patient. Works as a therapist.

He uh... also happens to be my Tav's nephew. Her brother, Remus's, kid. Thus sharing the family "Resident Evil Esc Monster Mutant" genes. Blind, he uses echolocation in his Monster form and long whiskers to navigate.

(And Cazador's son, tho he's never met him. And would never want to.)

Anyways, sorry to anyone unfortunate enough to read this lol
