Here's to hellsite solidarity!

why is writing fics so much harder now than it was three years ago? 2023 hio wrote 10k word bangers in two days and now i’m struggling for months to get even halfway through a fic. idk if i’m too much of a perfectionist, but i have this really fun and interesting plot in mind but i’m struggling with the fucking wording instead, which shouldn’t be as difficult as it feels right now. like, i have ideas and i have a complete outline from start to finish, but i can’t find the right words, everything feels repetitive and bland. which is so weird because i managed to get it right years ago.

Honestly, I don’t believe this widespread fanon that Leon S. Kennedy is chronically lonely and has no friends.

This guy’s a chatterbox. He talks to everyone, including monsters (and himself). He clicks with people instantly. He hangs out in bars all the time, for goodness’ sake - those aren’t private or quiet places! Yeah he drinks, but he doesn’t drink alone!

He has hobbies. He’s a bike guy. He does shooting competitions (some of the reload animations in RE4R/RE9 are competition shooter tricks). He seems at least somewhat familiar with what’s trending, if his ever-evolving wardrobe is any indication. He listens to music (I mean, did you hear what he was blasting in that Porsche?) And he works out… a lot.

Leon would absolutely have friends outside of work. He’d have drinking buddies. He’d have gym buddies. He’d have buddies at his local bike shop. He’d have buddies at the shooting range. He’d have buddies to invite over to watch football.

(And he DOES have at least one person who canonically regards him as a friend. Did y’all forget about Ark Thompson? Lmao)

Now, is Leon close enough with any of these buddies to lean on them when he’s in a dark place? Oh, absolutely not. These are just people he does activities with, not people he can really talk to about what’s going on in his life. But the bottom line is that the man wouldn’t just spend all his time away from work holed up in his apartment alone. He’d have a social life outside of the people he interacts with in canon.

The key to writing good fanfiction is to harbor a deeply humiliating desire, and the trick there is that even pretty basic and societally-accepted desires like “being held” and “being wanted” CAN and WILL be humiliating if they’re intense enough. Become so estranged from human connection that the idea of someone playing with your hair fills you with yearning so deep you feel like you’re going to throw up and you will write some banger fanfiction. It might have some other consequences too but idrk about that.
