#idk I was just thinking of Leon vs Chris

[danvssomethingorother]

So I think the big difference in Leon and Chris is Leon is more practical and Chris lets emotion dictate every action.

I’m not saying Leon is an ice queen, in every appearance he is nice and wants to save everyone and is only rude to people who are you know shady? He was reasoning with Chris in 6 because he knew he wasn’t himself and wanted to remind him they were allies vs him being mad at Chris for bothering him when 1) he wasn’t part of Chris’s new quest for vengeance and 2) he had time off because he was mentally and emotionally unwell meaning he knew he couldn’t be helpful.

What I mean by practical is every option is weighed and he has to work with what he has and not hypothetical things. He always keeps death as an option even if yeah he doesn’t want that. Leon knew him and Ashley could be cured because of Luis’s pills that were already slowing the symptoms down. He wasn’t running into a hey I might be able to live if I keep believing scenario. Even facing Krauser someone who means something to him, he forces himself to focus on the now and not the then. He doesn’t bring up good times or try to reason, doesn’t make it a quest for revenge. He waits till the fight is done and then cries because of the emotional side of things and bottles it again to finish the job. He has no reason to trust Helena that their boss is evil, he needs proof from Hunnigan before he decides he can proceed with her.

Practical solutions to intense emotional situations.

Chris wears his heart on his sleeve. Everything is personal. He will do this and fuck logic. He punched a boulder for crying out loud just in the power of friendship. Not to mention all the simple solutions that you know he could have done in 1 (playing as Jill you find them) but instead punches them and keeps thinking he’s gonna win because love and friendship and protecting people.

In 6, every thing is personal. When other characters like Leon ask him to leave his emotions out of it and think about it in a more logical way, he seems ready to throw hands.

He doesn’t even talk to Ethan in 8? He’s just so sure he’s right for once? That caused more problems buddy.

He went to Leon instead of getting information from databases because he runs on the power of friendship and Leon must know more because he’s loyal to Leon and Leon should be just as loyal. And in a reverse of 6, the emotional arguments work over the reasonable ones Leon could have made because he was going through a mental episode and yeah of course Chris and his big hero actions and guarantee they will win won him over.

I think that’s ultimately what Leon’s question means at the end: how long can you only run on blind faith you will win? Logically you won’t.

Tag 9 people you want to get to know better

Saw a few other people doing this and wanted to do it too because I always love getting to know my mutuals better!

Three ships: the urge to put my ocs x my favorite characters is so real

1.) Chris Redfield x Leon Kennedy(chreon): they’re my babygirls <3 I love their dynamic, their interactions, I love Leon “it’s rotten work” Kennedy being paired with Chris “not to me. not if it’s you” Redfield. They make me feel things.

2.) Bruce Wayne x Hal Jordan(batlantern): workplace enemies to lovers speedrun when?? Listen. they fight, they disagree on a lot of stuff, they probably secretly hate each other in canon but they’re also in love and I stand by that :)

3.) Johnny MacTavish x Kyle Garrick(SoapGaz): if there’s 100 SoapGaz fans, I’m one of them. If there’s 50 fans I’m one of them. If there’s one SoapGaz fan, I am that fan. Golden retriever x golden retriever boyfriends fr and also their height difference?? Yes please!

(And the bonus otp: Mileena x @tiffanyvalntine )

First ever ship: the first ever pairing I remember ever looking at and thinking ‘for the love of god please kiss!’ was probably Soul x Maka from Soul Eater. But they baited the hell outta fans so I feel like it was justified

Last song: Alcohol by Sisyphus. That shit is 6 minutes long but the beat slaps so y’know

Last movie: Nope for the fifth time lmao what can I say it’s very appealing to me(and OJ x Angel is another ship I go crazy over but I didn’t feel like including them)

Currently reading: Aliens vs Predators: Ultimate Prey. It’s an anthology series so it’s a little easier for my monkey brain to focus on lol and I just love Predator related stuff

Currently watching: I’m not really watching anything new at the moment. But I’ve been rewatching New Girl, Derry Girls, and the IT Crowd

Currently consuming: idk water? I should actually be asleep rn but I’m doing this instead so water is all I can give myself

Currently craving: a tiramisu sounds kinda good rn I guess

Tagging: @j-hauke @gaytwoface @jewishroach @just-another-siimp @lesbeanphoenix @archaengell @salstray @killerspinal @chadillacboseman @velvetcrucifix @deadbranch and whoever would like to as that’s what I did!

2/1/24

I went to JB with a group of friends today. I had a BLAST this one is a solid contender for one of the best if not the best days of my life!! It started from me being unable to fall asleep until around 5am (we were meeting at 9am) and then sending a message begging someone to call me to make sure I awoke. Luckily I did. Honestly don't know I dragged myself out but I managed. Seven of us met at Toast Box at Hillview while the other three met at Causeway point. I had an Amy Yip pau for breakfast which is GARGANTUAN. You can't really see it in the picture but it's around the size of two palms placed together.

We rented a driver and a van for the day. The van picked the Hillview group first and then united all of us at Causeway point. Then we headed to the checkpoint! There was a slight jam so we were in the van for quite some time but god bless Zheng Long because he brought a speaker (and shades) so we had a small party. Even though I was on 2 hours and 45 minutes of sleep I think the music AWOKE me or something idk. I was very energetic for the songs I knew and liked at least. Setlist include Taylor swift and other 2000s throwbacks like Poker Face, I Gotta Feeling, On The Floor and various others.

We started off with the Mok Mok cafe. It was quite a pretty place and was honestly quite relaxing. I wasn't very hungry because of that pau I had earlier so I only ordered a drink. Celeste went off to take a couple pictures and Chris assisted her. Mostly small talk and trying food. My drink was okay. Zheng Long told me to eat the dried pineapple on the side of my drink. I'm going to be honest I'm not sure if it was edible nor if it was supposed to be eaten but whatever I just dipped it in my drink and had a go.

Afterwards we headed to Teppan place (was that what it was called?) We did a lil shopping and then headed to this theme park. It had all sorts of things. There was this slide that I burned my back going down because of the friction. There was also a little trampoline park. The highlight was probably the bumper bubble soccer section. Two people would be encased within these plastic bubbles and play football against each other. It was quite hilarious seeing everyone get knocked over. Sometimes it a male vs a female which wasn't really fair because the male is heavier but I suppose friendly bullying has its comedic value too HAHAHA.

We finished up, got Chagee and headed back into the van. Every time we went back to the van we played music. I'm not going to lie being in the van was probably my favourite part of the trip. Something about good music and good company in a van and listening and vibing together is something very, very special. We got off at Midvalley just as the best part of my song request "About You" was going to play :(

I spent the first half of Midvalley with Celeste, Zheng Long and Vann speed-walking around. Celeste and Vann did a bit of shopping while Zheng Long and I walked and talked about an assortment of things ranging from life to the shops we saw in the malls. Zheng Long had to eventually go off to find Eliora so I was left waiting for both of them. We shopped a bit more before linking up with everyone else where we eventually headed for hotpot.

Hotpot was pleasant. I sat with Celeste, Vann and Leon and the four of us shared various platters of Cod, pork, chicken, mushrooms and other assorted vegetables. It was great! I mean hotpot is always great but this one felt very relaxed and very natural.

There was one moment in particular that I shall now recount:

*Rapheal says he wants to go ask the waiter for something* Vann: "Ralph while you're at it could you ask the waiter for a new straw too? Mine is broken." *Rapheal glances at the Straw* Rapheal: "I think the straw is supposed to bend bro." *laughter erupts* Vann: "No as in it's got a HOLE in it." Leon: "Of course it's got a hole how else will you drink from the straw"

I'm sorry this moment was just so funny to me. Also Chris and Rapheal were having some romantic date I have no idea what that was about HAHAHA

There were several other highlights of the day: Bonding with Celeste over Taylor Swift and other music, having an insightful talk with Leon and Zheng Long over going to the U.S. and doing what makes me happy, getting to know everyone just a bit better in general. Oh YEAH WAIT lemme recap another moment:

For context: The van has 3 three rows of 3 seats. The 10th person sits in the front with the driver. Zheng Long and Eliora (a couple) sat at the back with one other person. Near the start of the trip it was me sitting with them but afterwards I said I don't want to anymore. So Sudikshaa took my place.

Sudikshaa: "Now I finally understand why Alex doesn't wanna sit at the back" (in the context of her being single and the Zheng Long and Eliora couple sitting next to her) Someone else: "It's okay Sudikshaa someday we will go on this trip and all of us will bring +1s" *moments later Cupid by FIFTY FIFTY plays* As the chorus plays, where the line "I'm feeling lonely" is sang. I shout the line, turn around my seat and point at Sudikshaa as I say the word "lonely" HAHAHAH DONT ASK ME WHY I DID THAT I swear I don't usually do it but it felt so apt at that moment that I just had to do it. Anyway Sudikshaa said afterwards I need to watch out or she'll become my #1 hater.

ANYWAY in summary it was an extremely enjoyable trip. I must thank Chris for settling and administrative side of things and everyone else for coming and making this very very memorable!! <3

[residentevil-4]

they have no connection whatsoever but i think its neat that piers and krauser both do the same thing for opposite reasons. krauser feels slighted by leons success & hopeless with his injury so to selfishly fix his ego and be as powerful as possible he allows himself to be infected; all of his body sort of mutates when he transforms but its focus is his arm obvi which just becomes one big weapon. then piers has felt nothing but admiration for chris (even if its dampened by frustration and sympathy at how low hes gotten). when he infects himself and transforms its explicitly stated that the reason he did it was to save chris so he can go on and inspire more people and continue to work on/with the bsaa. it was a sacrifice and an act of selflessness. again his whole body does mutate a little, but the focus is his now electrified arm. idk how to explain that one symbolically... its just kind of cool. also it IS a weapon

then they both die but krauser has to be put down by leon/ada, vs piers who basically kills himself. </3
