Perfectly describes how I feel about them!

I think the remake Leon's writing is objectively better and more polished, even feels more grounded and consistent. But something about OG Leon has enchanted me. He is so full of showmanship and bratty quips. But there is something going on beneath the action hero persona, and it it very satisfying to keep rotating him in my brain. In love with him, his rough edges and attachment issues. OG Leon, babygirl, lost in continuity but never forgotten. I will always remember you and I believe your successor definitely makes you proud. You would give remake Leon the warmest hugs and forehead kisses!

There is one SVSSS timeline where YQY rescues SJ in time, things go as well as they could, SJ and YQY finally find enough sanity to realise that they actually DO love each other crazy style...and then qijiu becomes the MOST INSUFFERABLE COUPLE of all time. Their lovey-dovey cringe shenanigans are not just well known in cqms but in the whole cultivation world. Both of them would be fighting some powerful demonic entity, and mid-fight their eyes meet. Both of them start smiling, and saying some cringe shit like "shidi moves like poetry from heaven" or something, and then sj will start smirking, intentionally moving more sluttyly, flicking his long hair. Even the demon will stop and say, ok you know what--kill me. I didn't need to witness all that.

What if I start getting into the aang x zuko ship after "The Legend of Aang" film?? What then?

It is so tough to look for fics where Yue Qingyuan is fucking bonkers.

He is unhinged. He is broken and he is terrifying, like looking at a beautiful, lush mountain, blooming with flowers. The sweet smell of them lulling you into comfort. Then suddenly you hear the rustling of greenery, you see the bushes moving slightly...but the beast hidden in them never really appears. You just wait and then wait as you swing like a pendulum between just be taken in by the beautiful scenery or fear the trembling of the flowers underneath.

But most of the time, fics that show this side of YQY, also tend to make into a villain that jeopardize SJ's happiness. And I hate that...it's not wrong to write fics like that. It's fanfic. Anyone can do anything, and I have no fucking right to dictate otherwise. But I personally hate it. In fact I feel hurt when I see YQY written like that. YQY will burn himself to give warmth to SJ. So, you can't imagine how peaceful it feels to find qijiu fics with this exact flavour of YQY, and he selflessly loves SJ crazy style while being an obsessed with him.

Rambling about Jill Valentine...

I feel really bad for Jill Valentine in a very meta way. She is like the ignored middle child who always gets crumbs from capcom. Even stories that feel more suited for her seem to go to other characters. FFS she got mind controlled by Wesker for years...surely that's a gold mine to writers to make new games for?? But she is kinda...just somewhere, I guess. I have seen a little bit of original re 3 gameplay on Sam Anderson youtube channel and I could tell...they cut out SO MUCH of her story. Sam was exploring almost the whole Raccoon City throughout her gameplay, and now that I think about it... THAT MAKES SENSE. Jill literally lived and worked in that city. If it's a Jill game, it would make sense that you could explore the city, the police department, and a lot of other places. It would have looked absolutely gorgeous if capcom did the remake justice.

In RE 5, you feel so horrible for her. She was kidnapped, brainwashed, stripped, her body was modified with that P30 machined embedded in her chest...and even then, she fights the mind control when she hears Chris calling for her. It's heart-breaking. And this is the kind of character remakes do SO GOOD!! Look at how much they did with exploring Leon's trauma in remakes. They would have done great with Jill Valentine, we see the glimpses of it in the started of re3r tbh. But then we get nothing. It's sad that it had to happen to Jill. This is why I can't stop thinking about her in re9 storyline. I did ramble about it a bit. It would have been...beautiful. Well, hindsight 20-20, I guess. I just feel like this character was built up so much in the original timeline by capcom but now she is kinda lost. Lost in the timeline streams. Hell, capcom did more for Chris in re8 by giving him and his trauma so much depth and dimension...and he wasn't even the protagonist of that game. (ily ethan bbg)

I hope Jill gets the same love and dedication that Leon and Claire get when new games are made with her as the lead. If they want to get dark, grounded and gritty, she is a great character to explore...especially, if the possible re5 remake keeps the mind control incident.

Saw a compilation Ashley and Leon with Ashley always getting in the way in the FUNNIEST WAY POSSIBLE. I can't help imagine Ethan and Leon now, except the problem is now the blonde he needs to rescue...is actively running towards danger, trying to defend himself with just his two very not-made-of-steel hands. Of all the blondes he rescued, Ethan Winters is definitely the one bothering him the most.

Leon asks him to hide and Ethan looks at him and just cocks his own shotgun, "I will hide behind this."

Leon asks him to stay behind and Ethan looks at him like he insulted his daughter.

Leon trying to snipe some infected from a distance. Ethan makes comments so utterly bizarre and yet absolutely hilarious to Leon himself, he ends up missing the shot from snickering.

Ethan's insistence on fighting along side Leon results in him losing his hand. Again. The blonde just holds the severed limb against his stub and asks Leon to use the healing spray. Problem solved!

Ethan: "Thanks for giving me a hand."

Leon:

Watching Chris hold Ethan down with one hand, man-handling him around like he weighs nothing...

shen jiu gets cat ears and tail...because i said so

give shen jiu cat ears and tail because of some demonic spell, and now everyone sees he always got the airplane ears. now...even if he is being mean, everyone just feels sorry for him. it messes everyone's feelings for him. but yqy is having the time of his life, because sj is relaxed, with ears perked, and his tail swishing lazily only when he is alone with him. lqg wants to scratch sj's fluffy ears but he will never say that out loud. mqf baiting him to visit qian cao peak for his regular medical check ups…by a feather stick?! preposterous!! but the feathers do look so pretty... also lqg can't take sj's seriously now, because he starts wiggling his body before pouncing him, and his attack face looks cute--lqg needs to go kill a few black moon rhino-snakes because he is experiencing very bad cuteness aggression. sj also starts purring when he is alone with yqy nowadays... also, for a man having insomnia, he starts sleeping A LOT these days. especially, while sun bathing. sometimes, his disciples see him just watching the bamboo grooves swaying in the wind, and birds pn the trees singing, and then he starts making the nye-nye-nye noise.

overall, it seems everyone is having a mostly good time. mostly. because now he has hidden claws that he uses to attack ANYONE WHO ANNOYS HIM--WHICH IS MOST PEOPLE OMG!!!
