#i know she'a gonna love it

[kooldewd123]

every christmas I always get super stressed about gift buying because I feel like I'm not good at gauging what everyone wants and I end up psyching myself out that my gifts aren't thoughtful enough or wyatever but I think I absolutely NAILED my grandmother's present this year and I've been vibrating for the past two weeks waiting for her to see it

[sapphire-weapon]

i just finished Infinite Darkness and have a lot of Thoughts™️. please indulge me if you'd like.

spoiler + long post warning

i went into it with pretty low expectations because everyone kept on calling it a shitshow. it's not bad per se, but it wasn't good either. it was.. meh. 2.5/5.

afaik ID takes place in 2006, and RE4 in '04. so why tf does Leon look like he's at least 40??

that honestly fucked it up timeline-wise for me. was the show purposely designed not to fit into the timeline in any way whatsoever a la "welcome to raccoon city"?

if that's the case, Leon and Claire still somehow are able to remember the events of Raccoon City in this timeline.

my brain can't come to a logical conclusion over the timeline, so i'll leave it at that.

i wish they gave Claire more screen time. they did her so dirty imo.

what were they trying to set up with Claire and Leon's interactions? a loveteam? if this was so, what even was their last conversation in ep 4?

the Claire on top of Leon scene. tf? what the hell were they trying to set up? were they going to fuck and continue the redfield bloodline right then and there? kiss? hug? maybe punch each other's lights out?? i'm seriously so fucking confused.

Shen Mei and Leon too. Leon asks her out and she declines. what was the point of that conversation? i'm just going to assume it's to show the locket with Jun See's picture in it.

(were they trying to show how bitchless Leon is at least in this series?)

why the hell did Jason kill Shen Mei? what was the point? why didn't Leon give a shit when she died? it was like he just forgot about her.

i love how President Graham believes anything as long as Leon is involved. in ep 1 when Leon's late: "it's fine bc you saved my daughter." in the last ep when Patrick tells him that Wilson was behind everything and cites Leon as source, Mr. POTUS decides to wing his speech ON THE SPOT just because of that fact. what if Patrick was making it up? that really would have fucked up international relations and all that. i don't know. Graham really loves Leon i guess.

going off of that, i wish we got to see more of Patrick. i would have loved to see him interact more with Leon.

what is gonna happen to that chip!?

i have no idea if a Season 2 would be able to salvage/explain the plot, but honestly i don't think the series deserves a Season 2. it might be a waste of time and money plus an even bigger disappointment to fans.

alright, onto performances.

Nick Apostolides to me sounds like someone who's breaking in a new pair of shoes. it sounds like he's still getting used to walking in them and therefore tries different things (which i find ironic since he'd already voiced baby faced rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy atp, but also understandable as Leon sounded young in that game). he's all over the place imo. he sounded like RE2R Leon, RE4R Leon, and someone else entirely throughout the four episodes. but as you said in another ask, he really made up for it in RE4R. solid voice acting all around imo.

Ray Chase. before i saw him here i knew him as Neuvillette (aka "according to the judgment of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale") in Genshin Impact. his line delivery is stellar. i hope that's also him voicing mutated/infected Jason because he sounds fantastic there. but there's a line that he says there that sounds so awkward because the delivery is so sped up that the emotion is gone.

Stephanie Panisello also voices Claire in RE2R, but i haven't seen too much of her there to compare it to her performance here. i will say, however, that i honestly enjoyed her performance here, but there are times when she sounds like she's holding back a bit. it would have been perfect if she let go a little bit more.

Jona Xiao as Shen Mei was also great, but i think she also suffers the sams problem as Stephanje in that she sounds like she'a holding back.

Doug Stone as Wilson was perhaps the most enjoyable for me, as well as Billy Kametz who voiced Patrick.

this (https://youtu.be/HN2OkCu6FbE?si=jl7K8tILCYoheGCX) was pretty badass tho

https://youtu.be/7lnFgfhVW-E?si=RZ-EF-WN2vVDY8PS holy shit.

the unfortunate thing is

most of my responses to your reactions boil down to "welcome to the RE CGI-verse." like:

why tf does Leon look like he's at least 40??

i wish they gave Claire more screen time

why the hell did Jason kill Shen Mei? what was the point? why didn't Leon give a shit when she died?

all fall under that category LMAO

now, in terms of things i can respond to:

was the show purposely designed not to fit into the timeline in any way whatsoever a la "welcome to raccoon city"?

no. just because leon's character model looks bad doesn't mean that the story exists out of universe. it takes place in 06 and is part of the regular OG canon timeline. period.

what were they trying to set up with Claire and Leon's interactions?

nothing.

the CGI-verse is the reason why a few true cleon diehards still hold onto hope that cleon will still somehow be endgame, but the fact of the matter is that leon and claire just have That Kind of Friendship. it goes nowhere; it's just how they are.

Shen Mei and Leon too. Leon asks her out and she declines. what was the point of that conversation? i'm just going to assume it's to show the locket with Jun See's picture in it. (were they trying to show how bitchless Leon is at least in this series?)

both explanations are correct. ID adds a new dimension to the running "OG Leon is a Fucking Slut Who Can't Actually Score" gag by making him an actual homewrecker this time around. but ultimately yes it was to show the locket.

what is gonna happen to that chip!?

nothing and you know it lmao

this (https://youtu.be/HN2OkCu6FbE?si=jl7K8tILCYoheGCX) was pretty badass tho

this is the best moment that OG leon has in the entire series and i'm not joking. it's not the best in the sense of "this is when he, as a person, is at his best." it's the best in the sense of "this is the only moment in the entire series where we get to see leon do his Actual Job and know what he Actually Does outside of outbreak incidents, and it serves to add more context and perspective to so many other facets of his character." i could write an entire fucking essay about this scene/moment. god.

goD

Thanks for that Maegor fluff. Istg, he deserves more love and I want more stuff about him 😭 and I have this one scenario with him and sister reader who is Rhaenys' daughter. She's born a year before Rhaenys' died. Like Aenys' she's also born sickly and small that some people would always mistake her as younger than Maegor. Since her mother died, it's left to Visenya to raise her and Maegor adores her a lot.

Her father loves her but she reminds him a lot of Rhaenys that he prefers she stays with Visenya and Maegor in Dragonstone while he is in KL. Now that she'a almost of age, Aegon wants her to be betrothed to Aenys to keep the bloodlines pure and Alyssa will be given to Maegor. Reader grew up knowing their house's tradition but while she does feel something for her brother, it's not the brother her Father wants for her. She wants Maegor and she knows Maegor feels the same (Visenya ships them ✌)

So like what happened with Alys Harroway, she and Maegor are married by Visenya and by the time Aegon knew, she's already swelling with their first child.

Sorry, lol I tried to make this short 😅

Yes, I love it! I mean, what is Aegon gonna do now? She’s already pregnant.

Gonna reblog this one to maybe help folks be less shy about goin on and on about their ocs.

So! Ive been talking about them for a few days, but I'll ramble some more.

Anju - First OC for any ikeseries game. She was originally supposed to be for Shingen, and I used her attitude for some fanfics (there was a prompt response I did years ago about Shingen loving a prostitute or something? And the way the woman shut him down was Anju's type of personality.)

She's not for sen anymore, and I switched to her still constantly skeptical of any love proclamations, but now she is for Arthur and sometimes I muse her being with Theo or Vincent.

Out of all my Oc's, she's the most independent, but she also is so to an unhealthy degree. She owns her own place and store (she mends and makes clothes, very based on sen mc in that regard). It comes into play when others try to help her, or when she shuts out others because she doesnt wanna deal with peoples perception of her once the rose tinted glasses come off. Outside of romance, she is kind in an older adult woman kind of manner, where she still has very clear boundries but still helps when she can.

Amélie - a mess but more put together. I think out of all of them, i have done the most with her. Scraps of her story is on AO3 under Patchworked Pieces. Trauma is high for her, and recent, so it prompts a lot of her actions. She is for Isaac and sometimes Isaac and Arthur.

I think she is pretty nice... helpful, encouraging... in all honesty, as much as I love her, I recognize she is pretty bland and mainly just her trauma and the process of getting over it while healing with Isaac. There were supposed to be a lot of scenes of them helping each other back and forth. I think I've talked more in depth about her on random posts under the 'scums babs' tag.

Constance - wew. I am still working her out. So far I am trying to get her more independent than Amélie, but not an unhealthy degree like Anju. I am experimenting with an Oc that has selective mutism, and knows sign language- which is a struggle, as I am consistently worried about writing something harmful in that regard on accident.

She'a supposed to be for Gilbert. At her very first concept, before I was into Gilbert, she was supposed to be for Clavis.... well.... <:) sorry bud. She also has a few creative outlets that she doesn't actively pursue as any sort of career, just enjoys them on her spare time. Writing, drawing, poems occasionally? I thought it would be cute in general, but paired with Gilbert I thought it was really cute.

She's actually the first oc I've made a sideblog for, @c-bookwyrm . I thought about setting it up as an askblog, with posts in her pov, but instead I've been posting random short (short) writings about experiences in her life, as I come up with them. They're not reviewed, often I write them late at night when I'm having trouble sleeping, and... i dont know. I have 6 followers on that blog, and so I don't feel scared to write blurbs that sound bad. It's been a good exercise in being less scared of just writing whatever and not being scared of people being jerks randomly. (Which doesnt happen on this blog often now, but it has happened a lot in the past). Helps me fight the inner anxiety demons *nods*. Its smth I would encourage if you have ocs and some anxieties about writing, just having a sideblog to explore various things about them without any worries.

Now for Villains, I don't have an oc yet. But given my small experiences with the game, I think it would be fun to try and make an Oc that is... more angry? Anju does get angry more than the other two, but I think for Villains, it would be a fun enviroment to test that in.

Question of The Day

Do you have an OC for any of these games? Tell us about them! Are they romantically involved with any of the suitors, or just besties with your fave? Do you have drawings or descriptions of them? What are they like?

╰❧ Daily Q's can be answered with your voice- or your OC's!

If you'd like to suggest a question, send me an ask! || About This Blog

I don't get what's everyone trying to pair guys with "people like their moms". People wanted Naruto with Sakura because she's like Kushina,which she's not. People want Boruto with Sumire because she's like Hinata,which she'a not. And now people want Shikadai with Yodo because she's like Temari,which she's not. What's so great about making the guys have an Oedipus Complex?

They think that comparing them to a canon, established ship is gonna then make their ships canon when they entirely miss the point

1. Kushina wants a girl who loves and cares for Naruto like she did and Hinata did exactly what she did, she sacrificed herself in order to save Naruto. Sakura has been nothing but a shit friend to him.

2. Sumire has nothing to do with Hinata other than color scheme and this theory doesn’t even have Hinata telling Boruto to “get a girl like her” to fall back on.

3. Idk about Yodo because I haven’t watched the episodes in a WHILE but again, like the above, she only has Temari’s hair. Other than that there is no relation whatsoever. 

I don’t think they know about Oedipus Complex and how gross it is

Pt. 3 "Kathryn" "hello", don't you know? I like to inhale "pain" in large doses, intoxicating the smell of fire, and gas, I call it, "guns and roses", bullets, pieces of jarred glass, and fragments of the past "crushed", with blood rushing through it; my "new heart", in part, can you feel its fumes? they entered every room, since I was a babe in the womb, yeah, just to remind myself, of my purpose, they had to make my life a bigger circus, I guess the more worth you have, the more they strive to make you feel worthless, "thank you, Judas" I walked through hell, took a dive in that very cell, lady, now I'm ringing the bell, you see these bloody hands and knees? yeah, they do foretell, "they are the key", what saved me from your spell was the "power of three", you couldn't stand me, yet, I loved you, busy bee, through it, I gave you happily what I had, to see you thrive, "cause' I knew it" go on building hives with your knife, "Cest' La Vie, that's life", and thanks, said I, for my "drive" "Cecile" watch your back, she'a gonna attack, she likes to keep her frenemies closer, careful I said, "she's a poser", I watched you go straight to the boss, like the sunflower you was, fuck closure, lady I wear my garbage on my sleeve, I wipe my ass with what you believe cause' I watched you with thy own eyes, I can't believe for you I grieved, "your a devil in disguise" Cossett 04.10.17 #cruelintentions #poetry #spokenwords #spokenword #writers #writersoninstagram #poetryofinstagram #rappoetry #rapmusic #angelhaze #eminem #realmusic #nf #nate #heal #spilledink #justlikeyouonlyprettier #prettierthanwho #slimshady #muse #poetrybook #godsnotdead #lightwarriors #rappoetry #rapmusic🎧🎤🎧#rapmusic

okay i don't think this was fully my idea so if i fuck it up, one of my headmates will be on the verbally beat the shit outta me later

CW: the american foster system, drug & alcohol use/addiction, overdosing

but basically it's teenage, kinda foster system!ralvez expect spencer is out and got adopted by hotch bc i love them and luke just aged out at the start of the fic. and they're both addicts and hotch is trying to help them, but he's basically raising luke as it is because his current foster parents are shitty, and there's only so much he can do

so while hotch is away on a case, spencer overdoses while he's with luke, and luke manages to call an ambulance and save him, but that's Pretty Traumatizing. and when hotch gets to the hospital, luke is waiting because the doctors won't let him see spencer, and they have a conversation like:

"have you had anything to drink?" "yes." "do your foster parents know where you are?" "umm.. they kicked me out like a week ago, and since i'm 18 now i've just been living in a car and spencer feeds me." "fantastic :|"

so hotch calls emily, because 1. she'a technically a registered foster parent bc of that one ep where she almost adopts that girl, and 2. luke doesn't really Trust Men (for good reason)

so emily shows up and hotch is like "you're welcome over at any time, but being dependent on your partner for a roof over your head and food as a teenager is kinda Not Good, so you're gonna stay with emily. okay?"

and luke is just like "Yeah. I guess."

and then hitch leaves to check on spencer because. He Overdosed. while luke and emily talk And Stuff

and the whole fic is luke acclimating to living with emily and maybe getting adopted, mostly for legal reasons, while both emily and hotch are trying to get luke and spencer sober

have a new ralvez idea but i'm in school someone remind me to talk about them later

The fandom genuinely has a problem (of which I am guilty of in my first fic) of putting all the competence and responsibility on the women so that they're essentially the uncredited wives of the men. This doesn't mean to take the competence away from them! But let them be 3D characters with flaws.

Basira has a will of steel, and incredible logical thinking (the unknowing ep) but is distrustful of new people and maybe loyal to a fault. (Daisy. must I say more?)

Sasha has big-picture thinking and probably street smarts and leadership skills- asking for help, delegation, etc.(if she was considered for head archivist) and is good as sealing her way through someone's shell (she genuinely got along with jon in s1) but she's brave to a fault (see how not!sasha happened) and probably isn't great at details (it was Tim who corrected jon on his performance even though Sasha got along better. I'd bet that Tim and Sash got close BECAUSE she came to him for help?

Daisy...whew...Love her but what the actual fuck. She did a police brutality. I'm sorry (am I?) but I'm not defending her competense. She isn't rash but once she makes a decision it's go time. She's trying?

Georgie's fearlessness has lead to a caution that (VERY debatably) borders on cowardice. She'a protects her own, but "her own" are selected to keep herself safe. In real life this self-first mindset is not a flaw, in the TMA verse it is. Maybe stop dumping all of Jon's problems onto her in fic? Her whole deal is that she drew a line in the sand and that needs to be respected.

This is long gonna be brief on the dudes.

Consider that Jon is in touch with his emotions but represses them for effectiveness (he knew he was afraid and acted like a skeptic to balance) but he's also deeply motivated

Let Martin be jealous. He's canonically a jealous persona and a bitch of a bitch and that's OKAY!!! It isn't evil to write jealousy, which can be in a relationship in a healthy way if managed & discussed well but he's so fucking clever

I dislike tim and am heavily biased. there's a good post defending his character and action in s3 (?) but idk where it is right now. try and find that.but this king is sharper than an x-acto blade. let tim be the academic-smarts

Gerry, loyal to athe fault of himself, whereas basira could endanger others (see: helping Gertrude even knowing her whole deal to the point of ignoring his cancer symptoms) RIP king. has experience, street smarts.

Etc. Etc.

people are really like “theres one braincell in the archives and it’s basira’s” or “the braincell died with sasha” as if martin kartin blackwood hasnt managed to successfully trick TWO of the most powerful antagonists in the show
