i was writing down some notes for my infected!leon and this came to me

uh before I ramble holy shit thank you all for your nice comments and tags I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!! I was not expecting people other than me to enjoy him 👉👈

So! Here are my silly little notes about him!

- the reason for this meme is he gets cold pretty easy despite all his plating! so if youre cold, he is cold. And you should take care of him.

-addition to this. His bug instincts kick in and he loves being cocooned in blankets…I just think it’s really cute….lil bundle of bug….

- the general story I have really isn’t tooooo different from 4…I mean aside from the big 7 foot bug in the room.

- leon doesn’t gradually turn…he just fuckin. Goes. It’s soon after he meets Ashley, when they’re escaping something triggers his form to fuck up and go nuts. I mean he’s lucid but uh. His form…

- when he first transforms, he can’t communicate outside of clicks and chitters and general bug sounds. he gets frustrated by this pretty quick, especially since he has to try and convince ashley that he’s not gonna kill her

- Ashley is freaking the fuck out at this point. I should mention when Leon transforms he just. Grabs ashley and takes them to safety so to Ashley that’s uh. Pretty fucking terrifying.

-I’m not sure how, but somehow Leon convinces her he’s still lucid. Probably doing something sweet…Leon doesn’t know what he looks like and he really doesn’t wanna know, he just knows he’s uh. Pretty scary. (I think he’s cute though)

- a quick note about ashley since she kinda bothers me sometimes! She’s a lot nicer to leon in this au cause she can see this poor guy is going through some shit. She feels guilty she lead leon into this situation :(

- when the two meet up with Luis (WHO LIVES IN THIS AU SO HE CAN HELP LEON AFTERWARDS) he gives Leon the pills that’ll help slow the infection. he sits leon the fuck down and helps him regain his speech and bipedal movement (since his legs were too wonky for him to even try walking/running normally) He also gives Leon a jacket because this poor bug is fucking cold

- after he can walk and kinda talk again, leon tries to carry on like normal. he can still use guns pretty decently all things considered but the harder things get, the more likely his new body is to revert back to bug stuff (since human stuff takes a little extra effort now!)

- this leads me to some more general notes about Leon since tbh I’m bad at writing story stuff! So

- he chitters and clicks a whole lot, even when he’s talking!

- since his face isn’t super expressive, there are other ways of telling his emotions. his bug noises are a sure indicator of this, as well as his antennae and quills, which can lower and flatten. functionally they’re kinda like whiskers, they help leon sense things

- he’s super great at seeing in the dark. unfortunately though this means he’s pretty sensitive to light and gets headaches because of it :(

- this bug is fucking FAST. his legs are real powerful and good at jumping so he can zip around pretty quick and is a very talented climber. he may be existentially mortified but at least he can have fun running and jumping around!

- as for how Leon’s feeling he’s uh. Hanging in there! he’s ashamed and horrified of what he is but at least while he’s dealing with all the shit in 4 he’s kinda able to push these feelings aside so he can focus on protecting Ashley.

- he knows he’s pretty spooky looking so he acts a little nicer/more affectionate to others because he doesn’t wanna scare them :(

- throughout his journey, people like salazar will demean and mock him and be like “oh you’re really one of us now…” and tbh it makes leon feel kinda shitty! But Ashley and Luis (since he’s alive and sometimes shows up I guess) come to his aid and are like no! No mean to him! And through the power of friendship Leon makes it through okay :)

- the infection never really spreads to his brain so he doesn’t get too feral…sure he’ll get stressed and maybe go on all fours or forget how to speak for a little bit but nothing too crazy…any sort of feral he goes is based on his own choices and emotions… but for the most part he’s really docile and kinda sad

I think those are most of the notes I have so far…..I wasn’t planning on actually posting a lot of these but since y’all seem to like him….. I am happy to share the brainrot….
