do you remember when leon had searing neon orange hair in the cutscenes?

pepperidge farm remembers.

If you ever tagged me to do one of those tag game thingies and I never did it:

1) Thank you, seriously. Those are fun and being included shows that my followers care enough to want to learn more about me.

2) Very sorry about that, it’s extremely likely that I said to myself “Cool! But I’m busy at the moment, I’ll have to do this later today or tomorrow” before proceeding to just straight-up forget, now it’s too far back in my notifications and/or your blog to find again.

Send this to ten other bloggers you think are wonderful. keep the game going!! 🥰

🥹🥹🥹 thank you so much, friend!

page 8 - stranded

chris has found him!

next time they will have a moment to speak without the threat of sharks!!!! i am hype. it’s only the whole reason i started drawing this silly thing.

(i was gonna add back scars but i chickened out. i didn’t want to rawdog them with ink but also i didn’t want to go back to the pencils. so if scars mysteriously appear in the next illustration.. well 🤷. maybe i’ll revisit this one sometime. i just… really want to keep the momentum more than i want to be consistent apparently. you know. for a given value of “momentum” 😆.)

serennedy week 2025 - wild west

well it’s tradition to just continue to add to the cowboy au (which i guess was more appropriately called the wild west au all along) every serennedy week i participate in so here we go. got stuck thinking about how to remove the plagas in the 1800s 🥰

selkie au - take what the water gave me - part 2-2: drinking game

[beginning of comic here] [beginning of au here]

two wrist injuries later and here we finally are!!

I PROMISE LEON WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS.

while i hope to start posting part 3 in less time than it took me to get the second half of this comic out, i know better than to make any promises. especially since part 3 is a bit more ambitious than everything so far, which has 90% been people talking in a bar 🤣 look the boys don’t have a lot of canonical hobbies, okay? working with what i’ve been given.

anyway, praise be to anyone hanging around to listen to my seal brainrot. ilu.

this comic is also on ao3 (requires login)

cyborg!leon sketchbook dump. hopefully you don’t mind me posting these @silvercap .

i wanted to post something this month so people would know i am alive. and also so that if i ever did engage in an end of year wrap up i’d have something for every month. aaaaand it’s less than three hours to march and …umm, i don’t got anything finished. it’s been kind of a rough month.

i have opened up and worked on my selkie au file and i have other things cooking, but i know better than to try to put a time estimate on them this time. but. here’s hoping to a more art-full march. 🥂

[phoenixmetaphor]

hmmm… good idea @silvercap

detail:

okay i’m done.

[phoenixmetaphor]

cyborg!leon AU for @silvercap as your belated holiday gift 💕

[phoenixmetaphor]

waaaaaaaaaa, thank you silver 🥺 that means so much to me coming from you. i love being your au partner in crime!!!

it’s so hard to pick just one, but to keep it inside our RE community for a little longer AND because i have been meaning to reach out to this person and now y’all have given me a golden opportunity, i am passing the phone to @lliinno-blog ! i’m sorry i haven’t had a chance to reach out lately but it’s definitely meant so much to me that you’ve tagged me into posts even when i’ve been dormant for awhile and reminding me i have more worth outside of just what i am able to create. you are so generous with your time and with your comments, and i always smile to see you in my notes and honestly in the notes of my other favorite creators. people like you are the pillars of our communities and help all of us keep going!!! thank you for your service 🫡

i wanna play a game. do you know that thing where you pass a phone to ___ person and then they pass the phone to the next person? I wanna do that. bc life has been hectic and I wanna give out compliments. so!

I'm passing the phone to someone who got me back into writing and has created one of my favorite fanmade characters ever. I love him so much and I love how distinct you made him from Leon while also keeping him similar. I'm too used to clone characters being, well. Clones! so, @samblerambles thank you for the joy of this little guy.

[phoenixmetaphor]

just a heads up

if you’re an active follower of mine, i do recognize your username and/or icon. i smile when i see it in my activity. i get excited when you add funny tags to things. i get really happy when you reblog my op posts. so thank you, i appreciate you massively.

[phoenixmetaphor]

thanks for tagging me 💕

umm tags, tags. @sineala ? @citsiurtlanu ? @lliinno-blog? sorry if you’ve been tagged before 🤣 and obviously no pressure to participate.

anyway i am bad at this - if i don’t tag you it’s purely because i am unsure if you like being tagged in posts like this. please join in if the spirit takes you even if you haven’t been tagged.

Describe yourself only with pictures you have

Thanks for the tag @vizishereig !! :D

Tagging: @b0n3d0g @ghostdice @no-thanks-bro @colesabi and literally anyone who sees this and want to do it, again I am incredibly nosey LOL (and of course no pressure to anyone tagged)
