#no i did not die for a leon

Q: Who would you trust the most?

Really depends on the favor, but I have many guys I can rely on. If it’s really important, then I’d probably call Joshua (Kimmich). 

Special thanks to @deep-blue-painted-golden for the translation help ❤️

kennderland is a fun crackship bc you know they’d be so messed up like what little art I’ve seen of them is mostly cute and fluffy but their flavours of survival horror protagonist would compliment each other in a not so healthy way if you think about it and I never see this explored in their art esp not art of Leon on his own

[autumnoakes]

who at capcom thought "send out a murderous 7 foot tall killing machine and make him follow the protagonists relentlessly" and furthermore, who the fuck signed off on that? i want to have some words

Do you ever read literally the absolute worst take about a character of all time that almost comedically falls into the characters facade they’ve purposefully created

[one-in-a-million-fishsticks-blog]

Leon Belmont would be the Great Uncle Ford to Mathias/Dracula's Grunkle Stan if those two had been given the opportunity to raise their families together at the same time.

-------

Leon: "Now remember kids, we must always follow the rules and strive to create good in the world. Listen to your elders, and wield your weapons with honor."

Mathias/Dracula: "Gather round everyone, today I shall be coaching you on the finer points of tax evasion and offensive alchemy. If you ever hear someone else say something that sounds wrong, then it probably is, so do be sure to correct them. Best case scenario, they're so mad about being corrected that they become sloppy and create an opening for you to strike them down."

@resident-rats I’m starting to draft ideas and sketch my layout for the Leon shrine.

trying to figure out what of my seemingly endless merch will make the cut. I don’t have all the space and some of my older collectibles I think might be at my parents because it ain’t here lol.

ok I'm not feeling sad so popping on real quick just to talk about part of the rockstar AU epilogue

Any Serrennedy epilogue concept involves them having kids ok, they're just such dads in my brain. I wasn't sure about the details for this AU, I was actually thinking very planned/adoption at first

then it hit me how FUCKING FUNNY it would be if they had an oopsie baby in this AU

like imagine Luis fucks Leon like one (1) time before going on tour or whatever. Leon tells him he's pregnant and he's like "it's not my baby holy shit im such a bad boyfriend neglecting Leon so much that he needed to find someone else :("

because he thinks Leon is perfect and therefore would never cheat. (tbf he's half right. Leon is definitely not perfect and a dysfunctional loser in his own way, but he is Luis-sexual and wouldn't ever cheat) But also this man has NEVER in his life done something right the first time. bitch took a decade and 6 albums to stop being cringe fail!! the concept of him actually getting Leon S Kennedy pregnant the first time they have sex simply doesn't occur him, the only explanation is that he fucked up so bad that Leon was forced to be shitty

then once he calms down and realizes he was being insane he's so OBNOXIOUS and will never ever shut the fuck up about the one and only time he was immediately successful. (and Leon lets him brag about it bc any time the hormones make him cry for a stupid reason Luis immediately offers to go get him mcdonald's because in his mind "Leon crying" is always an EMERGENCY!!!! that must be FIXED. even if Leon has already cried a dozen times that day. man can't tell Luis to shut up when he's too busy shoving a big mac into his mouth and Ascending)

[citrine-elephant]

evenings are always so fun bcuz there's a 70% chance that i'm desperately tired, about a 20% from that tiredness that it's delusionaly sleepy

10% chance that i have a massive boost of energy

and 10% chance that i end up sparking a whole smut/whump/angsty thing in my exhausted mind

[somuchbetterthanthat]

Seven hundredth time I'm listening to that first episode again and every single time I want to bite something when I realize Leon is the very person whose thoughts and feelings are narrated; who are you without Leon, Narrator.

i'm SO curious what S5 is going to be about, I truly am.

Leon Goretzka for Sports Illustrated Deutschland

-> In this Sports Illustrated interview, Leon discusses not being called up to the national team, his character, and handling high pressure situations. The new Adidas Bodycare brand ambassador also discusses his hopes for the future.

On the pitch you show strength, off the pitch you are known for your social commitment. How is it that you are so present and outspoken?

That has envolved over the course of my life, but the sense of justice has always been within me. The only thing that has changed over the course of my career is that I now have a much greater reach and more people hear my opinions.

How difficult is it to fight against adversity? Can something like this be trained or is it something you’re born with?

You have to learn to deal with it. Then you can take a clear stance—or you can just leave it be. Everyone has to decide that for themselves. But I can cope with resistance, even though some of the things that come at me these days are extreme.

How do you deal with pressure and disappointment?

Pressure is something very positive for me. I really like it. It probably helps me in my job too. When it mattered most, I was able to deliver top performances. I like a bit of pre-match jitters. That's why I'm not afraid of pressure. Disappointments are also part of it. You learn that very early on, especially in football. Losing games starts in training. But that’s why you play in a team; that's the beauty of team sports—that you can support each other. Like at FC Bayern this season, which wasn't quite as successful as we had expected and were used to. These are experiences that you can take with you and mature from.

Did it hurt you a lot not to be called up for the national team?

It was an extreme disappointment for me because I didn’t expect it. Afterwards, I gave myself a day to come to terms with the situation. The day after that, I looked at how I could rectify it. The best way to do that is to perform at your best and accept this new role.

How hopeful are you that you will be at Euro 2024?

Very.

What is your emotional world like? Do you always allow all feelings—even the negative ones?

Everyone has to find out for themselves how they deal with feelings. My recommendation would be to talk about them, but I don't always manage that either. I like to work things out on my own and let the process mature within me. I can draw strength from that.

How do you strike a balance between self-criticism and self-confidence?

Self-criticism and self-confidence are mutually dependent. Telling yourself that you are the best has nothing to do with self-confidence. You are strongest when you also know your weaknesses.

As a leader, do you always have to live up to the sometimes very high expectations?

Yes, that's the job of a footballer. We live in a fast-paced, day-to-day business. You're only ever as good as you were in the last game. In my career in club football, I've won all the major titles that you can win with a big club like FC Bayern. Nevertheless, this season I have experienced what it means to be criticized as a leader. It reminds you that you are obliged to perform week in, week out.

How do you build yourself back up again when things aren't going your way? Do you train even more then?

I don't make my training dependent on situations that I experience week after week. I have long-term training plans. But of course, the motivation to correct things when they go poorly is always there.

What role do negative fan opinions play? Should they be ignored?

You have to accept these things. Everyone has their own opinion. Of course, it would be nice if things were a bit more civilized, but unfortunately that's not the case. This doesn't just apply to football; it can happen to anyone on social media. It's extremely disappointing. We should think about how this can be regulated. I'm lucky that things don't bother me too much. But there are certainly many users who unfortunately don't get on so well with it.

The football business can be very tough. What do you wish for the future of football, especially for the players?

I don't know if I should give an honest answer to that.

We’re asking for one.

If I'm completely honest, we should stop trying to generate clicks at the expense of the players—both on social media and in reports.

Can football help people and society feel more positive?

The 2006 World Cup showed how football can galvanize our country. Germany's enthusiasm and interest in football are certainly back. As players, we can influence this huge potential if the German national team performs well.

You are an ambassador for Adidas Bodycare. What does "well-being" mean to you?

For me, "well-being" means that I have an awareness of my body. For the balance between strain and relief, but also for regeneration. Ultimately, it’s also about work-life balance.

when i was very little i legit thought they made clint eastwood walk around that desert until his skin started peeling off and i did not question his commitment to the bit

[dimensionalspades]

What are some headcanons that you have and want to share more, but it's difficult because they rarely come up in threads?

- anon questions || accepting -

That's a fun one, I'll toss out one for each!

Arlynn has a stuffed dragon one of her brothers got her when she was young and hides it from literally everyone.

Aziraphale can be directly linked to how much fatter the cats around Whickber Street have gotten through the years. A lot of his time is spent caring for them.

Daud's identity is near impossible to find in the real world, there are very small echoes in the Void that you can use to trace back to his mother, and that's the only way to find his real name. He does actually want to know it but never vocalizes that.

Gurney can fall asleep standing and sometimes dozes like that if he gets too bored in meetings he's not needed in.

Julian is always speaking Arabic, translated by the UT. Any time it malfunctions, he constantly forgets, given that the UT is so constant/unobtrusive.

Leon's apartment is so rarely used that while he's had the same place for like 10+ years, there are still at least 3 moving boxes of stuff he never opens/just exist to collect dust at this point. He also has like 0 decorations and uses the place to sleep and watch Netflix mostly.

Pasiphos has fully driven several people to madness with their tech, and because of their wealth/status, they've essentially disappeared said people into a ward in the Scandinavian mountains.

Soldier is a huge musical buff and as it's his favorite, he has the entirety of Pirates of Penzance memorized. His second favorite and most watched movie is "Singin' in the Rain"

Sova has bitten someone's finger off when they made the mistake of trying to steal his eye while he was still conscious. He will bite again.

Vittorio is fluent in Latin. In his postfog verse, he uses this fact to get himself a job, and due to the magic sealed inside him/his tattoos, he has a drastically increased lifespan.

Don't mind this, I'm just. Posting this like it's a trophy.

After two weeks of overthinking and procrastinating and like, 2-3 days of last minute panicking, I have the fucking Dare 2 Defy wing thing now. I'm finally a gamer >:]

Also take the result screens thing because why wouldn't I show them?
