#resident evil #ashley graham #resident evil 4 #re4 #re4 remake #leon s kennedy #re4make #alright so this is my very mini ashley analysis I have a lot more thoughts about her #it makes me so sad that people take ashley at face value because I think there’s definitely something more to be said about her character #I do think that ashley despite dramatization bc video game is a pretty realistically written character. like she’s a young woman in an #insanely traumatizing situation #and she is CONSTANTLY disrespected. she has been kidnapped . violated insulted and the worst part of it is that she’s just a means to an end #and I do believe in my heart of hearts that president graham is kind of a shit person. IS a shit person especially politically but even as #a father??? like he’s the PRESIDENT how does he not have better security over his daughter #and ashley’s mother is presumably dead .. she gives off very. neglected and I know part of it is just the situation but she actively seems #to Expect to be hurt by other people. even leon and she feels guilty for her ‘weakness’ in their situation even though she’s actually very #helpful and resourceful several times throughout the game #idk i always think about that one scene where she’s coughing and leon tries to be kind to her and she freaks out on him like #SHE CANNOT ACCEPT KINDNESS BECAUSE SHE CANNOT PAY HIM BACK!!!! #and then at the end of everything she offers him sxl gratification because that’s the only thing she can think of to repay him #she’s been led to believe she must owe a man something for saving her and that is a very unfortunate reality for a lot of women #idk. i love ashley #she’s literally me #no kin / id tags.. do not tag as ship
