Hihihi!!!! I know this is a pretty random ask and I’m too shy to take it off of anon T^T I love the way you put your thoughts together!!!!!! All of your posts are super well done!!!!!!!!!! If you don’t wanna answer this feel free not to- but I was just curious, do you think any of the supporting cast from RE4R like The Merchant, Luis or Ashley left any lasting impact on Ada going forward with her life??? Like do you recon she’d remember them?????? :00 ((Also I’d feel guilty if I didn’t mention this also, but ik you’re not the biggest fan of Luis/I personally VERY MUCH SO disagree with your opinions on him (although I’m biased because my autism hyperfixated on him BDNEHENDJ) so again if you don’t wanna answer this ask you don’t have to!!!!! Sorry if this is very rambly I’m not good at putting my thoughts together concisely BDBEWNEH))

i added yours together so i didn't have to separate them sjkbfdskjfs

no worries on staying on anon! i know it's easier this way for people. and tysm!!!! <3

i feel like the merchant is always just like this- not real person that's written in for game mechanics lol. it's hard to realistically imagine it being real even though i know it's "real." it's not the same like nurse joy and officer jenny in pokemon where it like SURE MAKES SENSE but like the merchant following leon and ada around on the island is fucking hilarious to me.

i do think that luis had a bit of an impact on her, but she was also using him- so it would make sense if it was minimal in how she felt in his death. one of the minor changes i see people complaining about ada is her frailty, it is a change that i've seen talked about more and more in re4r and it furthers my theory that her apathy and less "overpowered" nature is a way to humanize her. which i don't particularly like in some aspects.

i've always liked ada to be emotionally resilient and to see her be more emotional regarding leon (which is actually a positive to show that her affection for him is more reciprocal), is a bit jarring and actually makes it seem like they're trying way too hard to get the audience to sympathize with her (which is a good thing, but it seems similar in the way that men write women = women bad, women weak, women sad.) you can show ada having mixed affections for leon without reducing her to a lovesick girl, which she isn't.

i wouldn't say i hate luis lol sjkfbsjk i really enjoyed the changes that they made initially upon first experiencing re4r. but the more time that i spent analysing the writing, the more i felt as though his writing were all plot devices and as a means to move the story along. (this isn't bad at all!) tbh, it makes sense, luis is a secondary character, a NPC and isn't meant to showcase all of his emotions and reasonings and motivations- but that's also a detriment (for me) because i don't find his motivations convincing or aligning well with his writing.

i do stand by my original thoughts that all the additions of luis' character writing was at the detriment to ada's writing. several scenes that had ada suddenly didn't. and the balancing wasn't enough tbh for how ashley and luis were both fleshed out. we got a modicum of additional inner thoughts with her monologue, but they aren't necessary new thoughts. these were assumed thoughts that we always had and weren't groundbreaking or enhanced her backstory (THAT MUCH) in comparison to how much was added for ashley and luis additionally, i think that ada might have been a bit more sympathetic towards ashley than in og re4 , which i guess is nice

i think that every character can have faults and can be poorly written- that doesn't mean that you can't like them!!

i love tons of poorly written characters, or even characters that are barely written. i love annoying characters, stupid characters, it all depends on how they're written!

i completely understand being hyper fixated by something- i also do!

i was def more just a leon girlie before i switched to ada lmao

ah sorry this is also rambly skbfkjsdfsj it's late when i wrote this

i know i sound crazy when i say this ( and tbh i probably am, considering we are talking about a lunatic with saviour complex here but anyway ) i do find it oddly compelling the bonds masha has built with both frances and carmel - idk man, they got something there, something raw you know ? amongst all that tripping, all those manipulations, they are one of the few things there that feel tangible; that feel real.  while i know masha is crazy, and what she’s doing is wrong on SO MANY LEVELS, i do believe she was genuine in her intention ? sure, she did wanna use the marconis for her own benefit but ?? the others ? she had no use for them, she could’ve easily only picked people who had lost their loved ones, but she didn’t. she wants to help them, her intentions are good - but we all know that hell is filled of those. i do think the tranquillium experience was very transformative for these characters, and that goes both as a good and a bad thing there. i just - i have a lot of feelings between masha and the girls, ‘kay ? 

#its like we're getting a glimpse of maternal masha you know? #even tho shes manipulating and brainwashing/gaslighting them #i do think she wants to help #NOX WATCHES NINE PERFECT STRANGERS. #i really liked this show though some plots and scenes weren't necessary tbh #and nic is not at her best role there ngl - shes the weak link with that phony russian accent #the highest points are regina hall obviously as well as melissa and bobby's chemistry on screen #i didn't care for lars tbh - and i don't like that they fixed him by having him have a kid with his partner i mean #there's absolutely nothing wrong with not wanting kids #movies/shows/books need to stop thinking someone is broken or messed up if they don't want to procreate #anywayyy #love this show - will probs binge watch it later :) #OOC | you know what is real ? the struggle . #if u must know yes i am drinking a smoothie while watching it bc watching this series made me have a serious craving #DASH COMMENTARY | sometimes the void screams back #idk man i just....i really like masha ;-;
