"Did Bobby and Tilin feel the same pain too? I never want to suffer so much again. I never want anyone to suffer so much again.
I have no other choice; I have to get stronger. I'm going to have to live with this fear from now on, so I might as well put it to good use."
something something pomme's fear is never a deterrent but a motivation for her to push forward, something something when the world hurts she shifts the pain she feels inside into a massive need to protect and defend those she loves, something something badboyhalo

They are waiting for 6 remakes to prove to you that you were wrong.
imagine having so little going on in your life that you're sitting around waiting for a game that won't come out for at least five years because someone on the internet made you feel insecure about whether a fictional relationship will be portrayed a certain way in a video game.
like, dude. these mfs think way more about me than i ever think about them or their ship. because, at the end of the day, i don't really care.
aeon's been a feature of RE's canon for 26 years, and it hasn't impeded my love for or enjoyment of the games. if aeon continues to be canon, then nothing in my life will have changed. i'm not going to get upset about something being the same way it's always been. it doesn't matter. RE will still be the same series i've always loved.
all i'm doing over here on this blog is interpreting the games' stories as they were written and providing analysis with evidence based in the text itself. that's why i have a giant wall of text post defending leon and ada's relationship as it's portrayed in OG -- because that's what the story is.
me liking or disliking the relationship has no bearing as to whether or not the relationship is canonically romantic. i don't have to like something for it to be true. and the fact is -- the truth is -- that for a majority of OG RE's runtime, leon and ada have a romantically coded relationship. and so i interpret it and analyze it that way, because that's what it is.
the fact also remains, however, that their relationship is no longer romantically coded in the remakes' version of events. and i'm not saying that because i dislike the relationship. clearly, as evidenced above, if the relationship was portrayed as romantic, i would treat and talk about it that way, regardless of whether i liked it or not. i'm saying that leon and ada's relationship is no longer romantically coded in the remakes' version of events because that's how the story is told.
and if that's upsetting for you (ubiquitous "you"), then maybe you should take it up with capcom's division 1 studio, because they're the ones writing the story. i didn't write the fucking story.
and, not for nothing, but like
i'm also wrong all the fucking time. i was wrong in predicting a wesker boss fight in SW. i was wrong in predicting more DLC coming for RE4make. i was wrong with my initial reading of remake ada from just base RE4make alone, and SW rendered all of my prior meta about her completely worthless.
and if i turn out to be wrong about aeon, i'm not going to be upset. i'm just going to add it to the list of shit i've been wrong about and move on with my life and continue analyzing the text with the new information we've been given.
but they keep trying to drag me into their ship wars as though i give a shit, and i don't. i don't fucking care about what ship is fucking canon, bro. i care about digging into the text and accurately interpreting the story because that's how i personally have fun in a fandom. it's not about the ship, for me. it's about the story.
like, eagleone isn't my only ship. it's not like i'm sitting over here concocting ways to twist the narrative in such a way that it looks like my ship is canon. i fucking ship leon with five other goddamn characters. and yet you don't see me making a case for any of those other ships being intended romances.
RE also isn't my only fandom. i play and talk about and care about other things and the industry in general all the time. i don't care about any of this RE ship shit nearly as much as they do, because i'm busy doing and caring about other things.
it's just so stupid, man. it doesn't matter. none of this matters. and it still won't matter when RE6make comes out.
we're all just trying to have fun here, and what i'm doing here on this blog, i do for myself. for my own fun. because this is how i have fun in fandom. it should have absolutely no bearing on anyone else's ability to have fun in the fandom -- and, if it does, then that person needs to stop fucking looking at my blog.
because none of this matters.
you know
i keep begging aeons to play other games, and this is exactly why.

talk about your favorite oc, if you have one
OH GOD OKAY GET READY
I have a couple favorites, like 3 immediately pop into my mind when I see "favorite OC," but at the end of the day my favorite of them all is definitely Cosmo Leonard.
This bitch.
She's quite literally one of my other characters (Nova)'s childhood imaginary friend based on her favorite doll who grew up with her, being invisible to anyone else but her, until Nova was able to find a way to make her a real live person some time around their mid-to-late teens. Now, Nova has ADHD, and because Cosmo was imagined by somebody with ADHD, she also has ADHD. And because she spent all of her formative years being invisible and never really experiencing any consequences to her actions and never being told no by an authority figure before in her life, Cosmo really, really doesn't know how to not indulge in her more impulsive thoughts, or have much of a filter when speaking to people because she doesn't have experience with speaking to anybody but Nova! So, as a result she has a very chaotic, impulsive, and sort of childish personality. She's here to have fun and experience things and live life to the fullest!! But that brings up some problems, because in her constant impulsiveness, she sometimes does things that end up hurting the people around her who she cares about, and since she's not used to consequences, it's hard for her to take that into consideration before she acts. And it's not that she doesn't care - she actually cares a LOT! It really really hurts her when she hurts others, and she wants to do better, it's just hard for her.
Addditionally, because Cosmo spent so long not being a "real person," just a concept or a literal plush doll, she sometimes experiences some dissociation and disconnect with the fact that she is in fact an actual person now, and if it gets exceptionally bad and distressing, she ocassionally reverts back to her doll form as a sort of rest period to just take a break from Existing for a bit. One of the biggest triggers of this is actually the aformentioned instances of accidentally upsetting and hurting people, because it can very easily lead to a thought spiral of "I did a bad thing," -> "I'm a bad person," -> "I'm bad at being a person," -> "People were better off when I wasn't a person," -> "I shouldn't be a person."
Despite this negativity and her ocassional mistakes, though, like I said she is genuinely a very kind, caring, fun-loving person who just wants to get the best out of life with the people she loves, and she is actively trying with those people to be better and more conscientious with her actions.
Bonus Fun Facts for if you've read this far:
She's in a band with Nova, where she usually plays either the lead guitar and/or sings, or plays drums when Nova or Matthew are singing.
Her hair is naturally purple with red highlights. Because imaginary friend logic.
She really likes cooking and BAKING especially. Her favorite thing to make is chocolate chip cookies.
She is dating Nova's little brother Ori and I'm obsessed with their relationship.
Here's her playlist which I've specifically curated to have a sort of flow between states of mania and depression bc she's also canonically bipolar.

Yeah didn't get to do the new leggings OR the shit I threw in a box to deal with later (not like they sell on the table anyway)
But I did get my endcap reset and the new shit isn't a pain in the ass to recover and restock
The overnight girl was back so my area was recovered! Even the NikeShitë! Even though she did them... all wrong... like infuriatingly wrong...
But I didn't have time to deal with that shit anyway bc my endcap took all fucking day
And then I had to cram like 6 boxes under NewLady's table bc I have NO ROOM at all and I actually put shit behind shit unlike her who only puts one row of boxes so it LOOKS like shes full but shes not. Cram that shit bitch. Anyway she's gonna have to deal bc we have the same number of items just different VOLUMES of it like 30 items per section is normal, but say I get ~200 stock and she gets ~900 stock per item. She can put shit in the steel or under her FOUR GIANT TABLES I get one. Just one. So fuck you it's called working with other people and being a team. I didnt say shit all the times NetflixCoworker needed to put shit in my table space when I actually had room.
From what I've seen, the new leggings are kinda cute. The Sharter's stuff is like "cute strawberry and cherry outfit" (too cute), "pretty blue outfit", "UGLIEST FUCKING FLORAL YOUVE EVER SEEN outfit" like 😭 every goddamn time they throw one ugly floral like come on... no one wants these stop...

Today was awful, but the cherry on top was when I got on the elevator with someone, and an older lady who was already inside said, "You young people! You should be using the stairs!"
And I, being the nonconfrontational person I am, just laughed it off and said, "Haha, I have a bum knee. So."
And then, this lady had the audacity to flex her own knee and said, "More of a reason to exercise it!"
So I looked her dead in the eye and said, "It's too late for that."
Of course, the elevator car got super fucking quiet after that because I the "younger person" look like an absolute cuntmuffin for being cold and unfriendly over a joke that an old lady said but honestly fuck you, my knee hurts literally all the fucking time especially when the weather is particularly fucked like keep your goddamn comments to yourself fuCK
ALSO MY KNEE DOESN'T HAVE TO HURT FOR ME TO USE THE ELEVATOR literally ANYONE can use this elevator, it's for public use, it holds more than one person fuck god fucking damn it
