Getting in the Mood for CleonWeek with a Leon Study: How Each Version of Leon Would React to Claire Asking for the D
Itās almost CleonWeek, which means itās time to dive deep into our favorite coupleāClaire and Leon! Now, while Claireās been consistently badass throughout the years, Leon... well, Leonās gone through quite the glow-up (and occasional glow-down). Depending on the game, movie, or platform, heās either a fresh-faced rookie or a grizzled veteran with a questionable amount of hair gel and alcohol in his system.
So, letās play a little game and imagine how the many different versions of Leon would react to the ultimate request:
Claire asking for the D. Ready? Here we go!
(18+ MDNI) Rookie, Vendetta, Death Island Leons below the cut.
Rookie Leon
Claire: (in a low, frustrated voice) āLeonā¦ I need you to fuck me.ā
(Leon blinks, caught completely off guard by the directness. His eyes widen, and his mouth opens as if heās about to say something but no words come out. A flush creeps up his neck, and he runs a hand through his hair awkwardly.)
Leon: āW-Wait, what? Youāuhā¦ I mean, are youā¦ serious?ā
(His voice cracks slightly, his usual composure shattered. He shifts his weight from one foot to the other, looking at Claire like he's not sure if he's supposed to laugh, panic, or melt on the spot.)
Claire: (staring at him intensely, biting her lip) āYes. Iām serious.ā
(Leon swallows hard, his heart pounding. His thoughts race, the tension between them electric and undeniable. He takes a small step toward her, still unsure if this is really happening.)
Leon: āIā¦ I mean, if you reallyā¦ Are you sure youāre okay? I justāwow. Okay.ā
(He lets out a nervous laugh, his voice trailing off, but thereās a heat in his eyes now as he looks at her, his uncertainty melting into something much bolder.)
Leon: āBecause if this is what you wantā¦ Iām not gonna say no.ā
(His hands move to her waist, hesitantly at first, before pulling her close, the tension between them snapping like a thread pulled too tight.)
Vendetta Leon
Claire: (Her voice low and breathless, eyes dark with desire.) āLeonā¦ I need you to fuck me.ā
(Leon pauses mid-movement, his sharp blue eyes locking onto hers. Thereās a flicker of surprise, but itās quickly replaced by something darker, more primal. He straightens up, rolling his shoulders slightly, that familiar cocky smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.)
Leon: (voice low and gravelly) āYou sure about that, Claire?ā
(He steps closer, his presence intense, radiating heat and confidence. His hand brushes along her arm, almost teasingly slow, as he leans in, his lips inches from hers. He watches her, his gaze hard and penetrating, waiting for her to give in completely.)
Claire: (She holds his gaze, unflinching, her voice almost a growl.) āYeah, Iām sure.ā
(Leonās smirk deepens. He grabs her waist with a sudden roughness, pulling her against him. His breath is hot against her ear as he speaks.)
Leon: āGoodā¦ because I donāt do anything halfway.ā
(Without another word, he kisses her, hard and hungry, all hesitation gone as he pushes her back against the wall. His hands roam her body with purpose, his grip firm, and his movements decisiveālike a man who knows exactly what he wants and how to get it.)
Death Island Leon
Claire: (Her voice low, a mix of frustration and longing.) āLeonā¦ I need you to fuck me.ā
(Leon freezes, his usual stoic expression faltering for a second. He stares at her, processing the words, clearly caught off guard. His eyes narrow slightly as if trying to gauge if she really means it, the weight of everything between them hanging heavy in the air.)
Leon: (in a quiet, serious tone) āClaireā¦ are you sure?ā
(Thereās no smirk, no cockinessājust raw intensity in his eyes as he steps closer. Heās cautious, almost hesitant, like heās fighting the tension in his own body. His hand hovers near her waist, not quite touching her, waiting for her to confirm what they both know is about to happen.)
Claire: (She steps closer, her eyes locked on his, unwavering.) āYes. Iām sure.ā
(Leon lets out a slow breath, his face softening, though his jaw tightens with the restraint heās trying to maintain. He moves in, his hand sliding to her hip, firm but careful, as if he's trying not to lose control too fast.)
Leon: (his voice low and husky now, eyes searching hers) āAlrightā¦ but this isnāt just some moment weāll forget about. You know that, right?ā
(He pulls her closer, his grip tightening, and the intensity between them spikes as his lips brush against hers. He holds back for just a second longer, searching her face for any doubt, before finally giving in, his kiss deep, desperate, and laced with all the emotion heās been holding back.)
Leon: (murmuring against her lips) āIāve wanted this for a long time, Claireā¦ā

started rewatching trollhunters out of a need of familiarity when everything in my life is new and bad and hard (college.) and now ive redesigned Claire to make her more of a alternative theater kid with the anger issues that they only hint at in the show
ive given her more of a personality than the #Feminist Only Female character in the group ur welcome lol
#art#my art!#trollhunters#claire nuƱez#tales of arcadia#toa claire#this drawing is ever so slightly shitty but its okay because im still getting used to my new drawing tablet and also photoshop#also i made her shirt say Papa Skull because i dont atually know what her actual shirt in the show says because we only see 3 letters?#i made her very 2010s blazer into a cropped leather jacket for funziesss#also i made her skin darker and her less skinny because she needs more meat on her bones and her og design is great but her and jim often#look like siblings and thats weird mannnnn#also i accidentally made her look a bit like my partner in terms of build and hairstyle oops#idk im proud of it and i think she looks pretty cuteeee#i just wanted to give her design and characterization more spice because a lot of characters in the show lack those things#but especially claireeee#she is too often relegated to love interest or Girl and she deserves more than that!!#also i think its in character that jim would like mean alt girls that have blue hair and pronouns#he can be a little freak as a treat

Do I feel the least bit sorry for Claire? No. Because girl, you went into this after figuring out he gave you THE WRONG NUMBER. do you know how many men i've given the wrong number to because I simply did not want. Lots. Bro gave you the wrong number and you still stalked him out through his friend. That is weirdo forceful behavior and frankly not cute. Now look at where you are. That is shameful. Shameful behavior. like...he gave you the wrong number. he gave you the wrong number. he PURPOSEFULLY gave you the wrong number. On purpose.
#sydcarmy#anti claire bear#he gave you the wrong fucking number#on purpose#and you know he did#yet you still...#red flags everywhere#girl#that was a glaring red flab babe#i fucking hate when they write female characters this way like oh she's assertive and going after what she wants but if a guy does it...#what she did was fucking weird#how could you not get that message?#like you have no boundaries

I know I've been on about this for a while now and I'm being a hater but you're telling me SydCarmy was "always meant to be platonic" even though there are two seasons of writing making use of tried-and-true explicitly romantic tropes, themes and writing signals, and SydLuca is going to be romantic because...he was nice to her on screen for a few minutes?
I don't even care if people ship SydLuca, or if they just prefer it, but you can't honestly tell me that you believe Carmy was always meant to be a friend but Luca is an obvious love interest.
Just because Syd and Carmy haven't kissed or confessed their love to each other doesn't mean that isn't very obviously the direction this show is going. The Bear has already shown you who is endgame. It has shown you every episode of the show so far.
Honestly I really don't think The Bear fanbase understands this show or cares about these characters or the story being told here, which is unfortunate because this show is shockingly well-written in comparison to most shows right now, and we should be so grateful for it but all we're doing is complaining that the writers led us on by not making a ship canon fast enough. It's just. Sad.
#The Bear#SydCarmy#I was like a casual fan of this show two days ago#and now seeing how little respect this show gets from it's fanbase I'm losing my mind#I mean I shipped SydCarmy before anyway but now it means so much to me#it means so much to see such a realistic and purposefully well paced romance take place#so many shows portray romantic relationships and their beginnings in ways that just don't really happen in real life#and this show very purposefully said no. These are characters who are strangers. who are working together. Who are in a tense environment#and each of them has problems - one of them the type of problems that makes developing new relationships pretty difficult#these two would not get together right away. It would take a long time. And there would be ups and downs.#And even when that's the case. Even if when it takes a long time and doesn't go smoothly and is hard -#it can still be beautiful. It can still be romantic. It can still happen and here's how#and I'm just so inspired genuinely. It is so difficult to write romance without being cliche and so difficult to write it in a way that#could actually happen in real life and I really do hope I can write something half as good some day#and then to know so many people have no appreciation for it at all#because they prefer the shows that have characters make eye contact a few times and then confess their love for each other like#it's just fucking sad. So sad that so few people have any appreciation for good writing especially the difficult of romance writing#like I really just don't even know what to tell you. In real life these two would not have confessed to each other yet. They would not have#kissed yet. They would not have even realized they have feelings for each other yet because those feelings would still be developing#and I also want to point out that given the disparity in power between Syd and Carmy in season 1 it wouldn't have been healthy for them to#get together much sooner. He was her boss. He was also her idol. Before they can even get together that needs to be balanced out.#And then on top of that don't you see the value in Carmy realizing the dream girl he's romanticized in his head - Claire - isn't actually#what he wants? Don't you see the beauty in him being disillusioned from that? And realizing that Syd is what he wants?#Don't you see the beauty in Syd having an idealized vision of what Carmy The Great Chef is like realizing she was wrong and that he's human#and flawed and then realizing - she loves him anyway? She loves him more for not being on a pedestal and for having his flaws?#Are you telling me that even thinking about this doesn't move you? Doesn't make your heart ache a little?#And again - ship and let ship - but what is Luca? What is Luca if not just what she was hoping Carmy would be when she wen to The Beef?#What is he if not just another man who she has not seen under pressure yet? Not seen reliving trauma yet? Not been her boss yet?#It's easy to look at him and think he's better than Carmy - and that's the point. That's the point The Bear is making.#It is easy to want someone you don't know. It's hard to want to someone you do know. But that's what love requires and that's the point

you know what, I actually will talk about this because it's bothering me. The issue with focussing so heavily on syd and carmy's potential for a romantic relationship isn't that there's something inherently unintellectual about romance or whatever, it's that a lot of people seem incapable of doing that without immediately flattening the story and ignoring or intentionally misreading any and all nuance for the sake of that romance. Every scene suddenly becomes about how it impacts their relationship, every analysis is done through a romantic lens, every frame or line of dialogue becomes about finding some easter egg or hint that "proves" these people should start dating. Their dynamic is absolutely a fundamental part of this show, but if you can only see it as a will-they-won't-they, you miss so much of what the story is actually trying to say with these two.
There are good versions of this story where their relationship is romantic and there are good versions of this story where it isn't, but as soon as you decide them being together is "the point," you lose the ability to actually judge the story for what it is, not what you want it to be.
#like so much of their dynamic (esp but not exclusively in S3) has been about showing the ways that carmy's trauma and dysfunctional#attitude in the kitchen impacts other people and how even though he cares about syd and wants their partnership to work he keeps self#sabotaging and setting himself and by extension her and the restaurant up to fail and replicating the same toxic environments that#he grew up and trained in and this is very much consistent with his character and a natural continuation of the conflicts they've been#having since S1 but because him being shitty with her runs contrary to them getting together suddenly its 'ruining the story' and#out of character and only happening bc the writers just hate to see this ship winning and like. if you really think that i genuinely don't#know what show you've been watching bc it sure as shit wasn't this one. like it hurts to see him do this because you know#they could do something genuinely great together and that he's ruining a really good thing but this is also the reality of where he is rn#if he was just a good and supporting business partner and not deeply dysfunctional it would be wildly out of character#the problem w S3 wasn't that it 'ruined' their relationship it's that it had no clear focus overemphasized carmy's arc at the expense#of the other leads deprioritized the supporting cast while failing to give them their own arcs gave more screen time to#unecessary and uninteresting new 'comic relief' characters and let conflicts stagnate without resolving them or#letting them evolve over the course of the season.#this isn't exclusive to the bear this is a general trend ive noticed where as soon as the 'shipper' part of people's brains get activated#it's like they lose the ability to read the story any other way and it stops being about what's good for the narrative and starts being#about whether or not these two people kiss and anything that gets in the way of that is bad and anything that brings it closer is good#and it's usually whatever but it's really frustrating when the story ppl are doing that to is this good#it also makes people fundamentally incapable of treating any 'obstacle' to that romance in a way that isn't wildly meanspirited and#gross (esp bc those characters are usually women) which is exhausting. like no claire isn't evil or a 'pick me' or 'bad' for carmy#or a useless addition to the story or whatever other nonsense you guys have decided must be true to feel okay. she's a perfectly normal#character and their relationship is exploring some of the ways that carmy's inability to deal with or actually address his trauma#impacts the various relationships in his life. she doesn't even have to be a monster or a narrative mistake for him and syd to be#'destined' for each other or whatever. this isn't a middle school wattpad fic.#im definitely gonna get killed in the street for this but ive been looking for a good reason to spend less time on here so might as well#the bear#sydcarmy#sydney adamu#carmy berzatto

this line has always baffled me genuinely what is she talking about. what book
edit: anon helped me with this one, apparently this an idiom...! oops lol. see, i have heard things like "you could write a book on x, you know so much about it...!" but never "you wrote a book on x," like, in the past tense, like you actually wrote it. perhaps this is common and i just don't know about it, but either way, i'm happy my question is finally answered...
i'm afraid i do look a little silly now... but that's alright
NOOOOO GUYS STOP LIKING THIS POST ITS EMBARASSSINGGGGG (not genuine go ahead I find it funny)
#witch's heart spoilers#sirius gibson#lime witch's heart#usually i wouldn't liveblog on tumblr but this lives rent free in my head what#this is especially strange considering sirius actually doesnt run away that much? he says he always has done that but its not true#yes he is a coward but when his parents died he didnt run away he was frozen in fear#when dorothy was being killed he didnt run away#he actually chose to stay in the mansion stubbornly#i guess hes been hesitant to fight monsters but i wouldnt say run away from them#main instance he runs away is in this route when he runs away from claire because hes paranoid about everyone#otherwise i have trouble thinking of when he does#not saying its ooc of him to want to run away it isnt#he IS the type to run away a lot he just hasn't really been presented with many situations where he WOULD#but the fact that he hasn't makes this āwriting a book on running awayā feel strange#like what would that kind of book even be?? a step by step guide?? you cant fill a book with that#some fiction where someone runs away from stuff? genuinely what was there some cut dialogue or something#also why would lime know about this does she go around observing what books hes writing#idk if he did she just doesnt seem like shed care enough to notice if he was writing a book

I am thinking SO HARD about these two's dynamic (I was supposed to have a second piece with them harassing Dimitri but I'll spare him for now)
#Clive wanting to know more about his hero but hating/avoiding personal talk. Opening up is complicated but it feels necessary#Claire finding comfort in talking about the life she used to lead. Quickly realizing that she can't say much cuz what if it's different now#Them both holding to past events and perceptions.#Claire's life is gone now and everything's changed. Everyone has moved on yet she's still stuck here.#Clive can't move on because everything is still the same. Corrupt politicians single-minded scientists selfless Layton. Nothing has changed#clive dove#Claire Foley#professor layton and the unwound future#professor layton and the lost future#unwound future spoilers#lost future spoilers#My art#Time duo#(<- Complementary to the time trio tag)

Lieutenant Marvin Branagh in Resident Evil 2 (2019)
#crimson's gifs: resident evil#Resident Evil#RE#Resident Evil 2#RE2#Resident Evil 2 Remake#RE2R#RE2MAKE#Marvin Branagh#Lt. Marvin Branagh#Lieutenant Marvin Branagh#RIP dude you were a real one#On one hand ik Leon meeting Marvin first is canon in the REmake universe#but on the other I REALLY like his interactions with Claire#the only parts of Claires story I like are this and her cutscene where she chooses to fight g3 herself#Idk why I think its just knowing how she straight up abandons Sherry and Leon to pursue Chris and what happens to all involved because of i#The remake made that 17288218% worse with all the promises and shit she throws at Sherry#This is why I prefer cvx and rev2 Claire over any other version because they dont make her being a ākids personā (i.e not a dick to em)#her entire personality#Thats probably also why I prefer the re2r cutscenes I mentioned. Because Marvin treats her like the 19 year old kid she is#and when she fights g3 its because shes wanting to take control of the situation shes thrust into for the sake of everyone involved#Just like she did when she killed Alex Wesker in rev2#Anyways enough Claire posting in Marvins tags GO MARVIN YEAHHH MARVIN SLAYYY

also i do still love the idea of swapping claire and leon's re2 scenarios but i cannot help but think that the scene with sherry and chief irons would have been a LOTTT worse with leon instead of claire
#arry plays re2#like. the guy already barely held back with claire. he was fully ready to kill her if either her or sherry didn't do what he wanted#also the game takes place in 1998. i think he would have been a lot more liberal with the punches if it were leon instead#i think about this regularly actually. i don't know if the police uniform would make it better or worse for him#probably worse. idk from what i've seen from leon's campaign it does seem like he met irons before. probably when he got the job#idk if the recognition would do him much good though.#hm what to tag this.#idk if it necessarily warrants a tw?#idk re2 goes hard into the corruption and corporate greed side of things. idk about the original but its a HUGE part of the narrative#in the remake. i kinda wonder how much chris shared with claire about the events of the first gamw#probably not much. she seems pretty clueless about it all and he doesn't seem to have reached out to her like. at ALL#and neither has jill for that matter š¤ oh man i gotta play re3 after this too#i know the remake for re3 wasn't that good apparently but there was something abt jill being suspended in that game#so she may not have seen chris' letter but i really don't know#iirc jill seemed pretty set on leaving the city too. she might have quit#which. i do Not blame her akdjskdjs i would quit too after that bullshit#anyways! :D good game so far. even with mr. x getting all up in my business#he can fuck off but like it was the only time i've been actually scared so far sodjskfjdknfd#i also love claire's little comments/insults towards the zombies akdjskfjsjf#'what the hell is up with you???' claire girl they're fucking dead#well. undead technically. still. that's what's up with them.#violence tw#yeah it does warrant the tw actually

JUSTICE FOR DAVINA CLAIRE I'M SO FUCKING SERIOUS FUCK OFF OH MY FUCKING GOD
#CAMI AND DAVINA GONE IN ONE EPISODE??!?!!??#YOU CAN'T BE FUCKING FOR REAL#(davina perma died an episode later both they both died in one episode right before that)#also this season has been slacking on marcel and the ep post-davina's death kicked him up several notches#he said all the shit i take issue with about the always and forever family bs#he hit that shit out of the park#also camille's death being all about comforting klaus fucking pissed me off#it was until she was scared right at the end that it was more about her#and her last words COULD have beenthe immortality line. but then they had to have her bolster klaus again instead#at least we got others mourning her after#but davina????#those bitchass ancestors forced her boyfriend to kill her then nearly shredded her soul#and she could've been resurrected. but of course fucking family came first#she had to die screaming for mercy alone as the ancestors tried to carve her soul from fucking existence#(and though i'm mad at elijah and freya for it it makes sense for them to do it#(what pissed me off was them and klaus then telling marcel that they were justified and he should just suck it up and understand)#(like no take the consequences let the man mourn)#(freya claiming family to kol too like girl i don't know you. and this 'family' loves you more than it ever loved me)#(y'all only love me on my deathbed)#(if being family means we kill each other's partners [which happens time and time again] then fuck being in this family)#like i don't actually want the mikaelsons dead. but also i hope super vampire marcel kills you all#hope kol gets away from you people because you are not family to him. you aren't.#but mostly davina. poor fucking davina#her and kol are my bonnie and enzo - finally finding someone who will choose them not just use them#only for death at the hand of allies#davina clair was an abused teenager you all used and who justifiably hated y'all#and she deserved more than to die like this. die basically three fucking times over still helping in the end#truly have not seen a witch this blatantly used and mistreated since the bonnie bennet#davina claire#the originals

hollywood u never specified what addisonās mother is sick with, or if itās terminal; just that sheās really sick, right? rather, that she has been really sick (for a while). personally, iāve always read it as if it were terminal. lmao not surprising. anyway you know what that means *hits her with dead parent beam*
#i know her and shae bond over it too at some point#iāll be honest her mom has cancer to me and iām making her die#nothing against mrs. sinclair thatās just how life is. you accept it with time. anyway this is important because i think it happens#around the time addison and claire are not speaking#<- i think theyāre on really bad terms too. like. they had a really bad fight really ugly things were said by both of them#their friendship is basically over (thatās what both think). because it gets Personal really really quick (as it often does with claire)#theyvstart fighting because claire hid her relationship from addison/claire lied to addison/addison thinks sheās been insincere this#entire time and then it quickly transforms into Something Else. Resentment is a terrible feeling and my god how it festers.#so thatās the context of their relationship and then i think addison receives the news her mother Will Die. and then claire abandons#everything to be by her side. they donāt ever talk about it (this) but they do talk about Their Fight and Stuff afterwards#<- plus relating to addison i think itād be cool to explore the whole thing of her mom not knowing she changed majors. because in my canon#addison is not starring in anything after she changes major lmao. that plotline is stupid sorry. i already said NO studio plotline HERE. an#majors*#it includes this. but also because i think it makes things more complicated and i want to think about it. does she tell her mother at any#point? if she doesnāt how does that make addison feel after her mothers death? is she guilty forever? is she okay with it because her mom#died āhappyā? how does grieving her mother impacts her work?#<- also addison not starring in anything besides ticket to ride of course. i meant according to canon and that plotline. and thatās the onl#thing sheās in after that. addi is exclusively a designer to me for (industry) Reasons#i donāt want character having an easy way out. i want them to live with the consequences to their actions. good and bad.#characters * sorry itās 8 am and i havenāt slept#anyway thatās what iāve thought so far. i love killing a character and having the living dealing with it#that happens with hunt and claire too and i think itās funny. weāll talk about it another time

@beatingheart-bride
Susannah was grinning from ear to ear and giggling like a madwoman, which she was quick to smother with one of her ill-gotten pastries: Though she had been initially confused, then surprised, by Philippe's response to this account of her and Doreen's girlhood mischief, she was quick to get in the swing of his plan, excitedly absconding with the platter before disappearing back into the passage together.
What a wonderfully nostalgic throwback this was to her youth, to those halcyon days of smuggling sweets through the passageway to the other side of the house, where she and Doreen would enjoy the fruit of their labors amidst light conversation and playful jokes...sitting in a dark passage, lit by a sole candle, leaning up against her beloved, it was a wonderful reprieve from the stress of earlier-especially as she recounted some of her favorite misadventures.
"...my favorite was the homemade strawberry ice cream we stole," she confessed with a shy smile, as she finished her pastry and reached for another. "Doreen and I made ourselves the biggest bowls: We had chocolate sauce, whipped cream, candy, sprinkles, maraschino cherries, chocolate chips...it was, uh, very, uh...v-very decadent, I-I think that's the word Belle would use...we got very, very sick, of course, on so much sugar, Pa and Belle found us lying on the floor in the lounge, very full and very sick...but there were no regrets between us!"
#((that would probably be the most emotional; sobering; and rather vindicating (for emily) installment))#((of 'family reunion': for the de clairs to have to essentially face the consequences of their actions))#((to have a mirror held up to them; making them look themselves in the eye and realize what they've done))#((that it wasn't some 'mad irish brute' that took their daughter from them; but that it was their actions))#((putting her in the path of a violent; manipulative man with a willingness to kill to get what he wants))#((that robbed their daughter of her life before it could really even begin; that it was their inaction; their unwillingness))#((to hear her out when she tried to warn them that her new groom wasn't who he claimed to be))#((that led to her dying; as well as her refusing to seek them out post-mortem!))#((she hasn't seen them for centuries; instead finding a family in her husband; her in-laws; and her friends))#((who have been far more supportive and familial than her own parents! i think that'd be very sobering for them to see))#((to see what their choices have brought upon their daughter; and i agree; that would be the best outcome))#((for the de clairs to accept that there's no going back; there's no repairing that relationship))#((but perhaps; if nothing else; taking some solace in the idea that their daughter is happy now with her family!))#((she's loved and accepted and supported by them where they couldn't; and they could perhaps be comforted by that))#((even if they never play a part in her life again!))#((i'd be genuinely curious to see that play out in a future 'family reunion' installment))#((but i know it'd be so emotionally draining; with a very bittersweet ending!))#outofhatboxes#beatingheart-bride#V:Genderbent
