Update for “The Fan Club; Chapter 4: Quint II”
For once, Leon knew exactly when he had fallen asleep and where. In Quint’s bed in his bedroom, but the owner of said bed and room was in Keith’s room out of respect for Leon’s space and privacy. Both had been too drunk to drive anywhere and the thought of bothering Chris that late at night made Leon feel bad, so he stayed over Quint’s house. Even though Leon insisted that he could sleep on the couch or in another room, Quint insisted that, because Leon was his guest, he would sleep in Keith’s room and Leon could sleep in his bed.
Leon sat up, stretching out his arms and back, looking down at the hoodie and pajama pants Quint had lent him with a smile. Another polite gesture because Quint didn’t want Leon to have to feel uncomfortable while sleeping. He said Leon could even borrow them, the agent promising to wash them when he got home and to return them asap.
Giving a yawn, Leon grabbed the shopping bag his clothes were in, putting on his socks and sneakers before going downstairs. He could smell something cooking, or rather burning, in the kitchen, followed by what sounded like pots and pans banging around and curses. Leon raised a brow as he turned the corner, looking into the kitchen curiously.
“Whatcha doing, bud?” Leon asked, looking around at the mess all along the countertop.
Quint turned, holding what looked like grilling racks with bread, now toast, sandwiched between them, “Making breakfast. I forgot to fix the toaster, so I’m improvising.”
Leon looked over the strange device, “It looks like you hooked up some grilling racks with some wires and...I don’t even know what that is...but I think it’s a pretty interesting way to make toast.”
Quint chuckled, cheeks dusting with a blush as Leon set his stuff by the front door before coming over to closely inspect the odd little device. Quint showed him the wiring and the servos, going through the whole process of the development of the machine, saying it didn’t take very long, but it also was a whole trial and error process.
Leon understood certain things, but not everything, opting to just let Quint explain and only ask certain questions or ask him to explain others. He was genuinely interested, mainly because Quint was so adamant about his little experiment and Leon wanted to see it make some toast in real time.
“Did you want me to make eggs or something?” Leon offered.

@capcomunity where’s a Resident evil game where the main characters are these two? I loved Quint and Keith and they have a lot more personality than boulder puncher and Leon combined
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A resident evil game with these two as the focus would be the best horror comedy. Like dropping Abbott and Costello or Laurel and Hardy off at Raccoon City. Maybe a dynamic system similar to RE0 where Keith has the ability to mix stuff or can pick locks and Quint can hack security or set up turrets or some such.

The Scottish actor David McCallum was born on 19th September 1933.
Born as David Keith McCallum, Jr in Maryhill, Glasgow, the second of two sons of Dorothy Dorman, a cellist, and orchestral violinist David McCallum Sr. When he was three, his family moved to London for his father to play as concertmaster in the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Early in the Second World War, he was evacuated back to Scotland, where he lived with his mother at Gartocharn by Loch Lomond.
McCallum won a scholarship to University College School, a boys’ independent school in Hampstead, London, where, encouraged by his parents to prepare for a career in music, he played the oboe.In 1946 he began doing boy voices for the BBC radio repertory company. Also involved in local amateur drama, at age 17, he appeared as Oberon in an open-air production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream with the Play and Pageant Union. He left school at age 18 and was conscripted, joining the 3rd Battalion the Middlesex Regiment, which was seconded to the Royal West African Frontier Force.In March 1954 he was promoted to Lieutenant. After leaving the army he attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (also in London), where Joan Collins was a classmate.
David McCallum’s acting career has spanned six decades; however, these days he is best known for his starring role on the police procedural NCIS as medical examiner as Dr. Donald “Ducky” Mallard. I first really remember McCallum for his role in another US show, The Invisible Man which ran for 13 episodes in the 70’s. McCallum by then was a veteran of many TV and Film roles, starting in the 50’s including Our Mutual Friend and The Eustace Diamonds, in the 60’s he was in several ITV Playhouse shows before moving across the Atlantic to take roles in The Outer Limits and his big break as Illya Kuryakin in several incantations of The Man from Uncle.
His most notable films were The Greatest Story Ever Told as Judas Iscariot and of course Ashley-Pitt ‘Dispersal’ in The Great Escape.
As well as the aforementioned Invisible Man in the 70’s he took time to pop back over to our shores to star in two quality series, as Flt. Lt. Simon Carter in Colditz and Alan Breck Stewart in an adaption of Robert Louis Stevenson’s, Kidnapped.
The 80’s saw him team up with the lovely Joanna Lumley in Sapphire & Steel and several guest roles in the likes of The A Team, Hart to Hart and Murder, She Wrote as well as a one off reprise of Illya in the TV movie The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E.: The Fifteen Years Later Affair.
The 90’s saw David in Cluedo and Trainer on our TV screens over here and American science-fiction series VR-5 in the states..
During the last 20 years or so he has been in the kids TV show, Ben 10: Omniverse as the voice of Professor Paradox and of course Donald Horatio “Ducky” Mallard in a remarkable  436 episodes of the popular NCIS.
David has been married twice. He married his first wife Jill Ireland in 1957. They met on the set of the movie Hell Drivers. Together, they had two sons and a daughter, Paul, Jason and Valentine, with Jason being the only one who was adopted. In 1963, David introduced Jill to his co-star on The Great Escape, Charles Bronson, and she left David and married Charles in 1968. In 1967,
David McCallum passed away aged 90 on September 23rd last year, he is survived by his wife of 56 years, Katherine McCallum, his sons Paul McCallum, Valentine McCallum and Peter McCallum, his daughter Sophie McCallum and his eight grandchildren. NCIS paid tribute to him in an episode called The Stories We Leave Behind when the tagents find comfort in working on one of his unfinished cases. The episode features clips from several old shows.

Resident evil Omegaverse AU
Remember! im not a English mother language! so if you find some error pls tell me and i correct the error!
Omegaverse is one of my favorite drugs, if you add Mpreg you give me a very big joy! So i have decide to make my personal version of Omegaverse in Re fandom!
Some Info is inspired from @sparkie96 works!
<hr>
!!! IMPORTANT NOTE !!!
My omegaverse is slightly different than most works I've gotten my hands on! Omega males DO NOT own a vagina! but the entrance to the reproductive system is located in the rectal area! When they go into pre-heat they will have very strong abdominal cramps because the canal has a muscle that "moves" when they go into heat, to close the digestive tract and open the reproductive canal, these cramps will also be there after the heat which will last about 2/3 days (together with the pre heat and the post heat it will last approximately 6/7 days). The look doesn't differ much! the bicinii is slightly wider than normal! They won't keep them growing when pregnant! his pecs will simply swell and that's it!
<hr>
Omegaverse in RE fandom!
In the world of Resident evil, omegas are really rare (3% of the entire world population), because they have particularly difficult genes to breed!, but they are not seen as weak, needy and that must be protected. Law enforcement agencies such as Police, Special Forces and others seek them out for use in rescue missions, because due to their nature they are able to calm down and help kidnap victims, such as in the case of Ashley's kidnapping. They are trained to resist psychologically to pheromones of any kind, and to bear severe physical and psychological trauma. Betas are the highest percentage of all (about 60% of the world population), they are very normal humans, pheromones do not affect them at all, and they only use them to recognize people. Alphas make up a good percentage, but not as much as betas (about 30%), they are men who are relatively strong and dedicated to protecting the people they love.
Finished all this rant here is the list of all the characters of RE and their secondary genre!
<hr>
Rebecca Chambers: Alpha(I loved his personality in RE Vendetta! and when i scolded the two kids arguing i adored her and my mind decided she was alpha!)
Billy Coen: Beta
Albert Wesker: Alpha(Albert is an "old school" alpha, where the omegas are just slaves and shouldn't exist!)
William Birkin: Beta
Chris Redfield: Alpha
Jill Valentine: Alpha
Barry Burton: Alpha
Brad Vickers: Beta
Leon S. Kennedy: Omega/Alpha/Beta(Its genre depends a lot on the plot! In some stories he is a beta/alpha turned into an Omega, only to have to continue taking "steroids" to return to alpha or appear as a beta!)
Claire Redfield: Beta/alpha( I'm uncertain)
Ada Wong: beta
Sherry Birkin: Beta/Alpha
Hunk: beta(???)
Carlos Oliveira: Omega
Mikhail Viktor: Alpha
Nikolai Zinoviev: Beta
Steve Burnside: Beta/Omega
Ashley Graham: Omega/Beta
Ingrid Hunnigan: Alpha
Jack Krauser:Alpha(When he wasn't a jerk he was a regular alpha, when he wanted his lookout he started thinking old fashioned like Wesker.)
Parker Luciani: Beta
Keith Lumley: Beta
Jessica Sherawat: Beta
Quint Cetcham: Beta
Raymond Vester: Beta
Sheva Alomar: Alpha/Beta
Josh Stone: Beta
Excella Gionne: Beta
Moira Burton: Beta
Natalia Korda: Genderless(Because of the experiments it doesn't have a secondary genre, it's marked as beta, but I don't have it!)
Alex Wesker: Alpha(like Albert)
Jake Muller: Alpha
Helena Harper: Alpha
Piers Nivans: Beta
Carla Radames: Beta
Ethan Winters: Omega
Mia Winters: Alpha
Clancy Jarvis: Beta
Zoe Baker: Alpha
Joe Baker: Alpha
Marguerite Baker: Beta
Lucas Baker: Beta
If I have forgotten someone you are more than justified in kicking me to add it!
<hr>
Forgot to mention, that large family groups or very close friends are referred to as a "Pack", and it is normal for members of this pack to help others in need! but a person can safely decide not to join any of these packs and remain alone!
<hr>
ps, you are more than welcome to take and use these combinations or info! at least remember to give me some credit, thanks!

Aw, I'm glad my message could make your day! Honestly, I appreciate you writing all these awesome fics :))) I hope Capcom brings back some of these characters, even if it's just in a file or something so we know how they're doing. (They should all definitely at least be friends with Leon, or boyfriends in Parker's case hehe) If it's not a spoiler, have you decided who gets a date with Leon next chapter? :D
Sorry for the late reply! Yes I do but I can’t spoil anything yet! 😉 But this person, like the others, is just part one, so Leon will have multiple dates.
You’ll just have to wait and see!

Who Was H.P. Lovecraft?:
The Father of The Cthulhu Mythos. His works are among the best of American Literature Born August 20th 1890 in Providence Rhode Island and became well known As an author of strange Fiction stories, he wrote in an interesting style and didn’t allow the ‘norms’ of American Literature to control his writing style. As an artist I like his literature because its typically strange and occult like witch is what im interested  in, Lovecraft Passed away March 15th 1937 leaving behind literal mountains of various stories and letters that were published after his death. But anyway He had a really hard childhood as his father was institutionalized when Lovecraft was young, his father was a business man until he had a psychotic episode in Chicago. As a result He was raised by his Mother and aunts, he claimed his mother was constantly stricken with overwhelming Grief after his fathers illness. Now Lovecraft was an avid reader as a child, by three years old he was already quite proficient at both reading and writing. His early known works of poetry was written when he was seven or eight years old. I like him because his stories are always gripping, Although I never finished reading The Call of Cthulhu here on the channel because of the blatant racial hate and various slurs stating that homeless people are subhuman and sailors criminals and blacks were only half humans. So as a person his views were really backwards, In short he thought he was special and everyone was inferior to him. Based off of these opinions If I had met Lovecraft in the flesh I would probably only want to punch him in the face. With that being said I am interested in lovecraftian literature and always have been for my entire life, On a side note I am absolutely not trying to bash this literary genius or claim that im any better than he was by making that comment!
As a person I will not and cannot understand what he believed or who he might have been as a person, His work has inspired the continuation of the Cthulhu mythos by thousands of other writers. To this day his works of fiction have been inspiring creative writers all over the planet, some will argue that they don’t like Lovecraft works at all because of his views but will in the same breath say of I like other artists works about the Necronomicon, That was an imaginary occult book of death that H.P. Lovecraft created. The book of the dead was said to have been originally bound in the flesh of man. Some people claim that H.P. Lovecraft was a practicer of the occult and that the Necronomicon was at least based on a real book of the dead, However I choose to believe if such a book were ever real it was likely sought out and destroyed by the catholic church. But anyway that  is nothing but an opinion and I don’t even really know if its even a widely shared opinion. Written by a character conceived in Lovecraft's mind The Mad Poet Abdul Alzared, of course how could I forget The ever famous line of the mad Arab "That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die". Basically it’s the book of forbidden knowledge whose contents threaten one's sanity, as I briefly stated other authors, like Clark Ashton Smith, Brian Lumley, Ramsey Campbell and Keith Herber, have added to its contents over the years. Personally I feel like the Necronomicon was made up in order to be used to aid in the telling of his occult stories, That’s what Im going to keep telling myself so I can actually sleep at night anyway.
Aside from the Necronomicon or even the cthulu mythos, H.P. Lovecraft became well known for writing letters to various prominent public figures in his time. I think I had read somewhere before that he primarily became a well known figure in literary circles because of short letters he wrote to prominent figures of his time, His letters almost literally became his legacy. Lovecraft also got into amateur journalism for a long time and this pursuit for many years of his life later lead to further concrete this legendary writers legacy, I know I stated earlier that I could never align with Howard Lovecraft's opinions as a person. I have really enjoyed everything that I have ever read from this man, I don’t mean to disrespect him or make anyone else perceive him negatively by any means. I Have choosen to talk about H.P. Lovecraft today out of respect and I am not at all trying to hurt his reputation as an author. The stories that I read from H.P. Lovecraft are some of the most imaginative works I have ever seen personally.  During his lifetime he never maid enough money to support himself as a writer and remained a very small time artist who mostly published his works in pulp magazines up till his death.
On a good note H.P. Lovecraft is well regarded as one of the most significant writers of the 20th century, There are hundreds if not thousands of adaptations of Lovecraft's mythos written by various artists  some almost forty years after Lovecraft's death. In a sense his contributions to fiction have been immortalized in these original stories Inspired by his strange fiction. On a personal note I discovered H.P. Lovecraft when I was a teenager while doing research on strange topics and interesting lore from various cultures, I cannot remember what the first story I read from him actually was . Yet for some reason I am fascinated by his short Stories to this day! The stories just make me think and tend too plant that seed of an almost childlike wonder in the back of my mind every time I read a story or even poem from this master of fiction.  Perhaps not as well received as other artists of his time, He has in fact become a staple in Literature and his legacy may never be surpassed.
In closing I hope I was at least a little bit informative about H.P. Lovecraft from the things I know of him. I really enjoy reading his short stories and poems here on the channel. On a side note I only read these stories in the public domain to remind people of otherwise forgotten works  in Literature. I am not trying to claim I own the rights to any of the stories I read unless I specified otherwise in the video. Let me know what you think of this video and maybe your opinion on this Article about The Master of Occult fiction at the same time. Also on a side note I now have an entire playlist dedicated to the H.P. Lovecraft works that I have presented here on Djack Productions. I really think im going to try to write articles like this about other artists I have begun to explore much more. I hope you enjoyed the video, Really quick I am not trying to make false claims about the man or tarnish his intellectual property. One final thought to wrap up here, This is not at all an all inclusive Biography of Howard Philip Lovecraft’s life. Furthermore any remarks I made about his political or religious views are purely speculation based off of what I have read in his works and other various opinions that other people have shared with me overtime. Thankyou so much for checking out my channel and supporting me by watching this video right now. If you happened to have stuck around and listened to the whole video give me a comment and let me know. Bye Everyone!

Happy 90th Birthday Scottish actor David McCallum.
Born as David Keith McCallum, Jr on this day 19933 in Maryhill, Glasgow, the second of two sons of Dorothy Dorman, a cellist, and orchestral violinist David McCallum Sr. When he was three, his family moved to London for his father to play as concertmaster in the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

In 1967, David married Katherine Carpenter and they have two children together, a son Peter and a daughter, Sophie. He and Katherine currently live in New York.
In NCIS since 2018, Ducky, played by McCallum, has appeared in fewer episodes. avid McCallum explained that appearing in fewer episodes will allow him to see more of his family, which includes his wife, children, six grandsons, and their cat, Nickie. According to IMDB he has chalked up an amazing 457 appearances in the show, morethan anyother character in the series.
