Chris Redfield & Jill Valentine - Resident Evil 5 Moodboard

[lasplaga]

「𝔖」      —       " Good fuckin' luck because I ain't gonna be heyah'! " Snapped The Businessman. Ricardo wouldn't be found by Lord Saddler ; He was afraid for his life if he was. " I'm gonna be long, long gone! "

It was an agonizingly long deliberation hunting down Mr. Irving upon the dosage of his suppressants. As if brutally cutting a stray limb from Lord Saddler's immense body, the youngling host could not be sensed, felt, nor communed. --- & what terrified Osmund most of all was silence & solitude within the mind. Regardless if he existed as THOUSANDS of voices, the riddance of one delivered him into a fit of unbridled rage & agony. What made HIM sought most of all --- The parasite that nestled within Ricardo was not only augmented by 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔸𝕞𝕓𝕖𝕣 ; But a clone of the species belonging to his former guardsman, infamously regarded as his American dog.

& once tethered upon his leash, would not be lost again.

The Lord contemplated if he carried any semblance of his consciousness from the assimilated parasite, or if any lingering remnants of Jack Krauser resided solely with God. It was an intriguing possibility, being tempted to indulge in blind loyalty & power by a man slain years prior. The relationship not only codependent & intimately parasitic --- but intoxicatingly addictive. Jack's lust for strength was impossible to sate & Osmund was more than pleased bidding him to continuously entertain this desire. Granted the mysterious abilities of Las Plagas & it's limitless potential [ the cost being difficult to toy with ], it was an experiment to formally put to the test.

Osmund tasted Ricardo's insecurities as his own the moment their minds became one. The American was insatiably greedy & selfish on behalf of what he lacked in respect. Feeling pathetically small, his only option was kicking down to acquire ANY leverage ; Begging for admiration as if starving for mere table scraps. It was truthy pathetic how empty & miserable of a man he was --- disgraceful he would refuse grandeur offered to him on a gilded platter.

The duo formally clashing ; Would The Businessman instinctually submit, or overcome the nature of his newfound chains? Traversing with The Swarm in tow, a cloud of massive-insects plagued the air & zealous priests scoured the ground ; It would only be a matter of time before he was seen, despite the link completely severed. Not entirely unfamiliar to Kijuju, Ricardo would be ambushed upon the third day by warmongering 'undead' homing in upon his temporary safe-haven. Kept true to his word, the flutter of wings & clanking of metal resounded at dawn ; The droning chime of bells the harbinger of their coming.

just remembered when claire redfield was doing humanitarian work in Not!Afghanistan and everyone at that refugee camp was white. infinite darkness was a fucking mess dude oh my gd

Infinite darkness made oh so many choices and none of them were good.

[agentvalentine]

Sometimes Jill will think about that time Wesker and Excella made her kidnap an innocent Kijuju citizen and use him as a test subject for Uroboros. Sometimes she will think about standing there and watching that man suffer and die before her eyes while Uroboros consumed him. It is those times that she just kind of wishes she had died when she threw herself out the window.

[antiibow-a]

Anyway, since Kijuju is a coastal city, its claim to fame is its successful fishing industry. Kijujuans know how to get down with the seafood. They are UNDISPUTED champions when it comes to preparing and serving up seafood Okra stew. Like Sheva would plan on her days off to drive a whole 45 minutes to an hour to grab a bowl from her favorite spot in the city. The lady that ran the place pretty much expected to see her nearly every weekend.

Chris refused to accept Jill's death during Lost In Nightmares events:he joined to Kijuju mission for Jill's rumors only.

He didn't explain his reasons to BSAA since she was declared dead by it after 3 months only of searching.

The fact Chris searched Jill all time refusing her death so hard it's so moving especially cause in the end...he found and brought her home.

Feel the ValenField,it isn't for childish shippers as I'm used to say.

[rom-e-o]

Okay, since it was brought up again, my morbid curiosity is getting to me. Tell me more of what you see in an RE Scroogeverse. 🤣

(CACKLES) YEEEES.

Many Resident Evil games/installments (with exceptions, like 4 and 8) take place mostly in the U.S., so I mostly think of our ladies coping.

Geographically, Bess would by fleeing the T-virus. (Tyrant Virus). It's the zombie-cannibal one. The virus the series is known for, haha. I'm sorry Bess. She's be escaping her city, because the solution to the virus is just nuking everything. Which is why she get's paired up with people like Jill and Carlos in the Raccoon City area, which is mid-America. (There are lots of theories on where it is, but generally Ohio-Indiana-Illinois-Missouri is the vibe.) T-virus zombies are cannibalistic and scary in hoards. Plus, the virus is fatal, and spreads WAAAY faster than A-Virus.

Connie would be fleeing the A-virus (Animality Virus). It started in Manhattan and as spread through drinking water, with a whole lot of backstory, haha. Basically, it was a cult bioterrorist attack. The city is infected but cured (in RE: Vendetta). With her money, she's probably flown out of the city, so she'd likely be coping with the crazed cult people spreading viruses more so than the zombies. We all know Orin was probably dumb enough to invest in industries that would put targets on their head. A-Virus zombies are T-virus zombies, but ... slightly smarter? They can talk and taunt before they eat you, lmao. It doesn't spread as bad as T-Virus, but the zombies are cognizant and more human. It can be cured too.

There's also the Mold, but that's Eastern European-originating (sorry Magda) that makes it to Louisiana. The Las Plagas in Spain, Uroboros in Kijuju, West Africa, etc. Fun all over the globe, just with different variants.

[welcome-leon]

Okay I NEED to talk about the Resident Evil 'Viral' campaign bc it makes me insane dfsjkhsdj I'm gonna have to split it up by each commercial to talk about them individually so prepare for longpost but I can't get my mind off it.

If you don't know, Capcom had a series of live-action promo videos for RE5, depicting Chris in various moments following the events of the game. If you haven't seen them, the clearest quality ones I could find are by Shiny Gamey on YT, with the first video being here (otherwise the most popular YT results are 144p - 360p lol)

CW: All videos have lots of intense flashing lights/images, and focus heavily on mental illness. TW: Video 4 "Bridge" has imagery of suicide and self-harm, and video 5 "Back" has hints of suicide.

TLDR; these commercials aren't canon, but god I find them interesting. The videos focus on Chris' rapidly declining mental health and obvious PTSD (alongside hallucinations and psychosis), with each clip showing his sanity deteriorating. They paint a picture where the events of RE5 fundamentally changed Chris in a way he cannot control - more than that, showing him far more vulnerable and human than the determined hero we usually see him as. These commercials make RE5 seem way scarier than it is because it's showing the hero suffering from just surviving - Fear You Can't Forget - and man I wish Capcom would lean further into the psychological horror of it all.

So one thing I noticed with this series is that I think it follows the themes of the stages of grief. I think each of Chris' voiceover lines carry this motif in each video, and it further illustrates just how heavily the events of RE5 are weighing on him. I think it's open to interpretation as to what he's grieving - his own sanity, the lives lost from Wesker's actions, Wesker himself, or maybe just a part of Chris' identity that is so drawn and tired of it all that it simply disappears. Either way, death as a whole is a theme explored here, and I find it very fun and interesting that the stages of grief seem to make an appearance too.

(1) Ceremony

In the first video, Chris is shown accepting an award at a BSAA press event some time after Kijuju. There's a lot of press involved, and Sheva is standing in the crowd. A general (maybe? Some kind of commander) gives a speech about Chris' heroism, and gives him a medal. When Chris is about to give his acceptance speech, the flashing of the cameras trigger a flashback where he re-experiences some of the events of the game (this is just gameplay footage, the 'commercial' part of these videos). You can also see scribbled words, in flashes, appearing across his speech papers. When the flashback ends he drops his papers, and when Sheva picks them up from the ground, the pages have no scribbles visible.

The thing about this one for me, aside from introducing the concept that Chris is Not Okay, is the way Chris' internal monologue contrasts with the words from the general. "There's more to being a hero than saving lives," are the opening words to this scene, spoken by the general, and he goes on to commend Chris for his bravery and valour. The general is very openly calling Chris a hero. And yet, Chris' voiceover line is, "It's amazing how far you can get in life by destroying the lives of others."

While it would make sense for him to be referencing Wesker and bioterrorism as a whole, contextually it's apparent that he's referring to himself - by the last video, it's made clear that Chris' voice lines are all a part of one monologue, but I'll get to that later. Here, he is on stage receiving a medal after ending innumerable lives in Kijuju, and while his superiors call it 'saving' lives, Chris calls it 'destroying'. The way he says the line sounds dull, emotionless, and it sounds clear he has no pride in the lives he takes, BOWs or not. I just love that detail to his character, his awareness of his own role in ending the lives of the victims of bioterrorism, the fact that he still views the monsters he kills as lives taken. It feels very canon-Chris to me, despite not being a canon video.

It's also worth noting that shock and denial are considered the first stages of grief, and while it's not a big theme in this clip as much as the others, I still think his voice line showcases his disbelief. It definitely sounds like he can't believe the route his life has taken to lead him onto that stage. Maybe it's not a lot to sink your teeth into, thematically, but there's elements here that contribute to the theme of grief in the video series overall.

(2) Date

This commercial shows Chris on a date with a woman, and it seems like everything is going well. The woman reapplies her lipstick in a compact, while Chris gets a video camera and asks the woman to confess something (side note, Chris wtf sjkdfhkjh). The woman tells him, "I don't know, I'm probably guilty of something." She moves the compact she's holding and Chris has a flashback when light reflects off the mirror into his eyes. When he comes back, the woman is gone, and Chris finds the napkin the woman was using covered in words similar to the first commercial written in lipstick. The voiceover line is, "Death is nothing to be proud of. And survival is sometimes worse than death."

Guilt and pain is the second stage of grief, and I think both are very apparent here. The woman is about to record her confession, and she states she's probably guilty of something - it stands to reason Chris might be thinking of his own confessions, his own guilt. And Chris' internal monologue, after a flashback of violence and death, says, "Death is nothing to be proud of," implying that it's something to feel ashamed of. Again, the point is hammered home that Chris doesn't view his experience in Kijuju as something heroic - he is constantly aware of the weight of death, regardless of who he kills. This line is also spoken alongside the visual of Chris looking into a broken mirror, a symbol of his shattered sense of self, which only amplifies the idea that Chris really feels like he has lost part of himself - is it part of his identity, or his sanity? Both? Probably both.

"And survival is sometimes worse than death." Is Chris talking about believing the psychological effects of RE5 are a fate worse than death? I think so. He's just had a flashback and lost a date that was otherwise going really well because of it, and keeps seeing these words popping up in places they weren't before. It's this line that encompasses his pain, right beside his guilt as it should be. The fact that he's viewing his existence after RE5 as being 'worse than death' is a very potent thing, considering that he should be feeling somewhat normal now that he's back in his real life.

And that's what strikes me the most about these videos - the idea that despite all the horrors we see these characters experience in the games, despite the fact that the good guys always win, despite the fact that these missions always have a beginning and an end, it's the aftermath of the game events that are worse. The idea that even with everything Chris has gone through, in these videos he's telling us that his own brain is worse. I find it chilling, and very compelling.

(3) Claire

This scene shows Chris and Claire hunting an enemy through a factory. Chris' voiceover line is, "Why did I have to go? Why couldn't it have been someone else?" The siblings shoot the enemy and it falls, and it appears as though they're in some kind of mission training. They have the following conversation.

Claire: "So. I heard that the company shrink thought—" Chris: "So Claire Redfield listens to shrinks now?" Claire: "I'm just asking how my big brother's doing, you jerk." Chris: "Don't worry about me, I don't need any saving." Chris then has a voiceover line: "But I do need to be saved."

A target startles them and Claire shoots, the muzzle flash and the glint of the bullets sending Chris into a flashback. When he comes back to himself, the word Kijuju is written on the wall behind Claire in what looks like blood. Chris mutters "No, no," to himself when he sees it, visibly frightened, but Claire can't see what he's seeing. She asks if he's okay. The tagline plays, and the final clip is Chris staring at his own hands with the training mannequin in the background.

Oh boy, Chris thinking "Why couldn't it have been someone else?" really gets me 😥 Chris has already been through so much, and I could be wrong but I'm not sure if he's ever expressed his displeasure at the direction his life has taken before (in the previous instalments of the franchise, I mean). A big part of Chris' character is his steadiness, his guidance of others, and his determination to see the mission through. He's always so reliable in everyone's eyes that for him to be overwhelmed with the burden of responsibility is just so... ugh. And it's literally shown in this same clip, where he states outright to Claire that he doesn't need saving, then his inner monologue directly disproves that. His thoughts are crying out for someone to help him, and yet he resolutely takes action that goes against his own wants. Does he do that because he thinks he can't ask for help? Does he think he doesn't deserve it?

The third stage of grief is bargaining and anger, and it really shows in his voice line. Him asking "why me?" doesn't come from a place of petulance or entitlement, it comes from a place of pain. A sense of anger at the circumstances leading to the loss is a normal part of grief, and bargaining is a way for the brain to try and gain a sense of control over an uncontrollable situation. The fact that he has those kinds of thoughts at all just shows how much pain he's actually in - we all know he would never let anyone else go find Jill and Wesker on his behalf, that's just not who Chris is. And yet, he falls into the natural mindset of trying to retroactively bargain like any of us would. If he hadn't gone to Kijuju, then he wouldn't be feeling this way. If it had been someone else, then he wouldn't need saving. Why did it have to be him?

And then there's the ending, a solid confirmation in this series that Chris is hallucinating the word Kijuju over and over again. His past haunting him, not just in flashbacks but in reality too. Idk man, I know Resident Evil isn't a psychological horror series and it's probably intentional for them to make that distinction from other survival horror games (e.g. Silent Hill) but this kind of stuff is so spooky and I love it. The fact that this is a promotion for the game is so incredibly smart to me, because it makes the viewer wonder at what Chris possibly could have experienced for him to be reacting this way in the aftermath - Chris, who has only ever been shown to be very competent, calm, and determined. Ugh. So good.

(4) Bridge (TW talk of suicide and self-harm)

The clip opens with the sounds of an engine and some frantic driving. His VO line is, "I hope there's something waiting for me out there." Chris stops his truck on top of a bridge and approaches the railing. He looks out for a moment, then climbs up onto the edge. "No matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to escape my memories." The flashing light of an alarm triggers a flashback. When he comes to, he's sitting near his truck. His jacket is gone, and he's shaking. He sees his fingers are covered in blood, and when he looks at his arm he sees Kijuju scratched into his skin. "I guess the more horrors that get seared into your brain, the less likely you are to forget."

I was not prepared when I first saw this one, let me tell you, and I still get sad watching it 😔 The imagery speaks for itself I think, and it pretty solidly captures the fourth stage of grief, depression. It appears Chris drove to the bridge with the intent to take his own life, and it was actually the flashback that brought him back from the edge. It very much encompasses his line, "No matter how hard I try, I just can't seem to escape my memories." He is quite literally trying to escape his memories, his life, and it is quite literally his memories that prevent him from doing so.

The first part of his voice line for this commercial seems to be his hope for an afterlife? And that kinda just hits home even further - he hopes there's something better waiting for him, something far away from the memories. Although, considering the rest of the series and the guilt he clearly feels, maybe he hopes for absolution. Maybe he hopes for his sins to be punished. Hm.

As a little note, I have no idea if the Kijuju on his arm was meant to be scratches or not. It looks like it's been painted on, but his fingernails are bloody and there's dripping blood, so he obviously got the blood from somewhere. It could also be a hallucination, like the other written words. Unclear. But it takes the decline of his mental health to a whole new level - not only is he suicidal, he's also harming himself in his fugue state. Poor Chris :(

(5) Back (TW talk of suicide)

The final commercial begins with Chris' voice. "There are some things you can't run from. And there are some things that never die." The camera pans over a room filled with items that seem to resemble parts of RE5, including statues and plants. It's unclear where this is, but it seems like Chris is living there. Chris is sitting, clothed, in a bathtub, talking into a receiver. "The human brain is a complicated bitch; once an image is burned in, it's scarred there forever."

The TV screen in front of the tub randomly turns on, and Chris grabs a handgun from beside him to shoot the TV, which triggers a flashback. Sheva runs through the area and pulls him up from the tub, where he had slumped over facedown in the water throughout his flashback, and he aims at her with the pistol before he realises who she is. She grabs him a towel and tells him, "We got a new assignment." Chris gets up and appears to be himself again, getting ready for the mission while Sheva looks at the walls covered obsessively in writing. Over and over, it reads, They are in Kijuju. It's clear she can see it this time. As they leave the area, Chris' voice line is, "I can't keep letting my memories get the best of me. Luckily, the best way to get rid of old memories is by making new ones."

So there's a lot going on here I'm not fully certain about tbh. I think this is meant to be Chris' home, or at least a current place of residence. The way the place is decorated makes me think Chris is so far gone in his memories that he's started making the area around him mimic Kijuju, with all the plants growing off the walls and the sculptures. The fact that the place looks like an abandoned factory is unexplained though. Chris is sitting in the bathtub talking into a recording device; it looks to me like a landline phone, and I suspect he's recording a voicemail. That, alongside the handgun next to him on the tub leads me to believe he's recording a suicide note - and it seems like all the voice lines in the previous videos are all part of this one recording.

The final stage of grief is acceptance, but I think this video turns that acceptance on its head a bit. "Some things you can't run from, and some things never die." The lines themselves make him seem accepting of his own memories, of the fact that these events will haunt him - in the context of the clip though, his possible second suicide attempt, maybe he's trying to explain to someone why he couldn't try to attempt to live with the memories. And yet, the moment Sheva tells him they have a new mission, he's up and back on his feet, Chris Redfield once more, and with the final voice line things are ostensibly all fixed again. Acceptance. Sure.

But there's no real resolution (not that I would expect one in a commercial series like this) and it would defy the core intent of these videos for Chris to be All Okay again. He's not okay after RE5 - that's the point. Fear you can't forget. What the viewer needs to know is that Chris Redfield is going to carry on and do the next mission like he always does, and isn't that just the sad truth of Chris' entire character? It's that exact theme that leads to Chris' weariness in RE8, asking himself when it all ends. Despite the final lines that seem to shoehorn the entire series in a neat package, I think the fact that despite his clear mental health issues he still gets up and gets the job done is far more telling about the tragedy of Chris' character.

The writing on the walls really makes me think. They are in Kijuju. 'They' being Wesker and Jill, but it's odd that Chris would obsess over that specifically after RE5, seeing as he's already saved Jill and killed Wesker. But then it makes me wonder about those 3 years Chris was looking for them. 'They are in Kijuju' would literally be the thought that started it all, the reason why the events of RE5 happened in the first place. 'They are in Kijuju' would be an obsession, even in his right frame of mind. He'd spent so long looking for Jill that this phrase being seared into his mind makes sense to me. (I mean obviously this would moreso be a big teaser for fans to understand what RE5 is likely to be about, but still.)

Idk man, these clips, while not being canon, fill a void for me about Chris' wellbeing after everything he's been through. He's experienced so much, carried so much, that to see him truly suffer in the aftermath of such a gruelling mission is just kind of cathartic? He's human, and his body and mind aren't infallible. He might be able to make it through the toughest experiences alive, but that doesn't mean there are no consequences. And frankly I just love this approach to promoting a horror game - showing the aftermath is such a smart way to do it. "Look at how the protagonist reacts to living through the RE5 experience! Don't you wanna know what caused it?" That's just good marketing.

Anyway to anyone who made it this far - thanks and hope you enjoyed my rambles 😅🥰

Indulge +reverse

「𝔖」 IT HAD BEEN A PAINFUL ADJUSTMENT FOR RICARDO TO ACKNOWLEDGE HE WAS NO LONGER HUMAN. & not only that, there was no cure for his disease. An embodiment of Pestilence he became, unwillingly, by the machinations of an Impure King. Enlightenment was bestowed as punishment for his defeat, not in compassionate mercy, to ascend his feeble body into something far greater. A creature virtually immortal. A weapon of mass destruction.

The Merchant of Death, naturally, felt most at home in the wine cellar. Not to indulge in drink for worldly pleasure, but in a feeble attempt to drown his agony, silence the sea of zealous voices --- or to die. But, heightened to the likeness of a holy being, eternal death would not claim him. At least, it hasn't YET.

Osmund, wholeheartedly aware the conversion process would be --- & has been IMMENSELY difficult for many humans, would exhibit compassion in the place of wrath. Treading past the 'God' which resided in the cellar, a sokushinbutsu of an ancestor in the midst of life & death, the man was discovered surrounded by kegs. Two or three had been emptied dry, the newly 'convert' persisting in consciousness, but nonetheless intoxicated & distressed.

" 𝔜𝔬𝔲, 𝔞𝔰 𝔞𝔩𝔩 𝔠𝔬𝔫𝔡𝔦𝔱𝔦𝔬𝔫𝔢𝔡 𝔟𝔢𝔦𝔫𝔤𝔰, 𝔴𝔢𝔯𝔢 𝔦𝔪𝔭𝔢𝔯𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔢𝔫𝔱 𝔞𝔫𝔡 𝔩𝔢𝔡 𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔞𝔶. " Coming from two different worlds, centuries apart, it would be IMPOSSIBLE for The Businessman to comprehend that his 'teachings' were not out of deliberate cruelty, but in desperation to save his unruly soul. Strife, if led to believe & act by a sole deity, if stripped & purified of free-will, could not thrive. Past sickening acts of degradation, compelling him to prostrate & express devotion for a blasphemous Lord, was not seen as evil by Osmund. The Speaker in his inoperable madness believed it, & persisting nightmares presented as divine interventions, would set him upon the path to Paradise. After all, these trials & tribulations have succeeded for generations. " 𝔗𝔥𝔬𝔲𝔰𝔞𝔫𝔡𝔰 𝔥𝔢𝔢𝔡 𝔪𝔶 𝔴𝔬𝔯𝔡𝔰 ; ℭ𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔱𝔩𝔢𝔰𝔰 𝔪𝔬𝔯𝔢 𝔯𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔯𝔢 𝔪𝔶 𝔫𝔞𝔪𝔢. "

Joining him at the table, The Cult Leader was making it unmistakably clear that Ricardo was trapped in the midst of a torturous institution with no out. That there existed no hope for a bastard which claimed hundreds of innocent indigenous lives for his insatiable greed of monetary profit. Though one may expect for said leader to raise his hand & slap the impudent cheek INSTEAD of sparing, he plucked a half-empty bottle of wine for himself. Drinking it's contents wholly, before reaching for another :

" 𝔗𝔥𝔢𝔶 𝔞𝔯𝔢 𝔞𝔩𝔩 𝔶𝔬𝔲𝔯𝔰 𝔱𝔬 𝔥𝔞𝔳𝔢 𝔶𝔬𝔲𝔯 𝔣𝔦𝔩𝔩 𝔬𝔣 𝔞𝔳𝔞𝔯𝔦𝔠𝔢. " Power. Respect. Adoration. Not looked down upon, THAT was what Ricardo wanted. --- The Devil need not speak the words, for he knew Osmund has already tasted his fears, every imaginable insecurity. That he hid behind extravagant wealth to hide his flaws & failures. " ℑ𝔫 𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔯𝔶 𝔭𝔞𝔱𝔥, 𝔞𝔩𝔩 𝔰𝔬𝔲𝔩𝔰 𝔥𝔞𝔯𝔟𝔬𝔯 𝔱𝔥𝔢 𝔲𝔯𝔤𝔢 𝔱𝔬 𝔟𝔢 𝔰𝔢𝔩𝔣𝔦𝔰𝔥. "

To cross the bridge of humanity into inhumanity & embrace the worst aspects of oneself was horror inducing to most. There may linger malicious intents or impulses The American may not be entirely aware. " 𝔅𝔩𝔲𝔫𝔡𝔢𝔯𝔰 𝔥𝔢𝔞𝔭 𝔲𝔭𝔬𝔫 𝔶𝔬𝔲𝔯 𝔥𝔢𝔞𝔡 𝔞𝔰 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔣𝔦𝔫𝔡 𝔫𝔬 𝔢𝔰𝔠𝔞𝔭𝔢 𝔦𝔫 𝔶𝔬𝔲𝔯 𝔰𝔲𝔣𝔣𝔢𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔤. 𝔄𝔫 𝔲𝔩𝔱𝔦𝔪𝔞𝔱𝔢 𝔓𝔞𝔯𝔞𝔡𝔦𝔰𝔢 ℑ 𝔰𝔥𝔞𝔩𝔩 𝔤𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔱 𝔶𝔬𝔲, 𝔤𝔩𝔞𝔡𝔩𝔶. ℌ𝔞𝔳𝔦𝔫𝔤 𝔱𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔢𝔡 𝔞 𝔪𝔢𝔯𝔢 𝔰𝔩𝔦𝔳𝔢𝔯 𝔬𝔣 𝔑𝔦𝔯𝔳𝔞𝔫𝔞, 𝔡𝔦𝔡 𝔶𝔬𝔲 𝔫𝔬𝔱 𝔣𝔢𝔢𝔩 𝔯𝔢𝔣𝔯𝔢𝔰𝔥𝔢𝔡? " These sickly aspirations could breach to the surface upon abandoning his final attachments to the living world. But it was a sacrifice that THOUSANDS had made & continue to make, indulging in their own egocentric frenzies.

[destinationtrekk]

POV Reader who has always made Wesker work for their trust and loyalty embraces him wholly and unconditionally after Kijuju because they’re just too overjoyed that he’s alive to be mad at him

he expects to have to explain things in depth to you, to make you understand his actions and choices, desperate to make you trust him again after his grave mistakes

he's shocked to silence when you just sniffle and hug him, thanking him for....what? he expected your anger, your judgment... he wants you to hate him because it would likely keep you out of harm's way for whatever happens in his future. but you're so relieved to have him next to you again that you can't even find it in you to be upset
