Wesker infecting himself with a daisies that causes weight gain as a side effect.
So this was like an idea I had for a while and I just wanted to write a bit about it. It will be basically just ramblings about it nothing solid. (sorry 😔 I'm bad at writing)
In terms of time I definitely think it would be happening really early on even before the events of re1. Like the first virus he infects himself with. Compared to other viruses created and studied it was nothing that special, simple caused and increased appetite, slowed down metabolism, imcris in muscle density, and the gain of it. The last two just having such an increase to the point of it beaming unheard of in regular people. If one vail of it went missing nobody would really notice and the virus itself isn't really noticeable at the first glance in the person infected with it.
So he decides to take one and administer it to himself but while doing it he didn't account for one thing. Hes geans. The same thing that allowed him to greatly adapt to the T-virus, and survived uroboros would be the same thing that led to those "side effects".
Like it would start up great, basically perfect for the first few months, his strength, speed, endurance would increase greatly even more than with the other subjects before and after him but first. Hes muscles not only would be bigger but also more visible. Of course they were some unexpected effects like him deweloping some weird cravings that he didn't have before for sweats and salty food, but it was nothing that he couldn't overcome.
After that period of maybe 1-2 months, the first "cracks" would start to show up. He's appetite didn't seem to slow down after the initial bulking period you could probably say it even increased. The muscles so visible just weeks before begin to get covered with a small layer of subconscious fat, and the cravings so easily done with a diet soda or an additional layer of mayonnaise on a sandwich started to become impossible to ignore. Nothing really crazy but definitely an annoyance non the least.
After like 6 months effects of it would be visible but he would definitely be really in denial about it. He would definitely start getting a bit pudgy maybe he would need to get up a size or two (more like 4/5), but it's OBVIOUSLY just the muscles so nothing to get worried about, his sweet tooth would become quite apparent spending a considerable amount of money on random sncacs (especially chocolate) here or there to the point his coworkers would definitely start to notice it.. Even he started to notice it but it DEFINITELY won't have any effects as he's still just gaining muscles right...
Something after the 1- 1.5 years mark the truth would become undeniable, even for him. He was officially fat. It obviously wouldn't be a thing that he realised overnight about how he went from 200p to 400p+ it would maybe be a bit more gradual. Like how it took him less and less time to size up and instead of the clothes being tight around his arms like before it would start from the stumic arya, or how hes straight is increasing but the speed just isn't quite following it fuck maybe it was even getting worse, how when he looked in the mirror the amount of newly red stretch marks would be larger every day, how any times he sits hes chair seams to kreack a bit more every time, or how a lot of people working in the nearby shops, gas stations, and fast food restaurants seam to know him by name at this point.
All his coworkers would know about it and it would definitely start to become a part of the workplace gossip. They definitely wouldn't be mean to him about it though. They would find it quite amusing maybe even funny sometimes but it wasn't really a problem. His performance didn't go down at all, and giving him a candy bar or a different treat any time they messed something up would basically become a new ritual on the stars team. He maybe get an occasional snarky comment from people who don't directly work with him but it's quite rare.
He would try to diet but would end up quite unsuccessfully at it. The meals that would fill him up for hours not even 2 years ago would do it at all, the sweat tooth he developed over the year made it basically impossible to not get anything sweet any time any occasion ocurd. As I said his coworkers were no help with it. Especially Birkin and Chris but they would go about it in a bit of a different way. Birkin would sometimes bring him something sweet to eat if he saw he was working late or maybe order him something to eat. He wasn't being melishes by it, he just genuinely cared about how he was feeling at the moment and even though he knew Wesker was on a diet (at least on paper) he just loved to see him enjoying it in the moment. Chris would definitely be way more snarky about it. He would be straight up mean as at the end of the day Weaker is his boss but it would definitely not stop him at the moment. It would be something simple like giving him something to snack on while making a comment and out it or bringing it up mid conversation and acting surprised when he would get annoyed.
He would be quite devastated by it. Not really because he himself doesn't enjoy it quite the opposite I think he would love the new found softness of his body, every curve, every fold, every stretchermark would bring him this weird joy. He would spend a really long time looking at himself in the mirror, touching himself, exploring every new crevice of his body. It's definitely not the problem. It's just that his new body doesn't match with he's perception of himself that he has. He was a Wesker at the end of the day, he HAD to be the strongest, he HAD to be the most disciplined, he HAD to be perfect. Even though it didn't stop him at all from doing his job, he still felt inadequate. Like he somehow felt himself and everybody around him with it. And how people who didn't know him treated him definitely didn't help.
(that's low-key all for now I don't really know what to add as I'm not really a writing sort of person i just kindoff like imagining stupid scenarios and adding some stuff and continuity to it.)
( I already posted it before but I was writing it in the middle of the night and ended up just remaking it so much to the point it doesn't make sense just to edit it)
