I was talking to my friends today abt atla And one of them is super iffy about shipping and fanfic so I’ve never mentioned my (unhealthy) obsession with zukka. but my other friend knows. So we were talking about zutara and our opinions on it and my knowledgable friend was like:
“It’s funny how you don’t consider any of the blatantly ship-bait scenes romantic but when Zuko and Sokka breath next to each other you’re convinced they’re married.”
And I was like:

LIKE U DON’T KNOW TRUE FEAR UNTIL 😭😭 LIKE IT’S CALLED A GUILTY PLEASURE FOR A REASONNNNN. My normie friend didn’t say anything BUT SHE THINKS ZUKKA IS WEIRD IF SHE KNEW I SHIPPED IT LET ALONE MADE ART FOR IT I-

"Oh, I don't like the gross ones," Alexander J Newall says before casually subjecting Helen, Alasdair, and all of chat to the concept of a Shite-ner.
Video description/captions below the readmore
[ID: a clip from Rusty_Quill's "The Magnus Archives 2 Kickstarter Pre-Launch!" Twitch Livestream. On screen are Alexander J Newall, Helen Gould, and Alasdair Stuart.
Helen: I've got a gross one. It's from Teresa-
Alex: Oh, I don't like the gross ones, alright.
Helen: "How did Leitner use the bathroom all those years he was living in the tunnels? I don't need a Word of God answer since I like my headcanon, but how did you envision him dealing with that when you wrote him?"
Alex: Oh, dead easy!
Helen: ... Just shat everywhere?
Alex: Don't be gross!
Helen and Alasdair: [laughing]
Alex: Creepy book.
As he says this, an edited cover of "Everyone Poops" briefly appears on screen. It has the insignia that reads "From The Library of Jurgen Shite-ner".
Helen: What?
Alex: Creepy book!
Everyone Poops from the Library of Jurgen Shite-ner appears once again.
Helen: He's got a book of poo? [dissolves into laughter]
Alex: He's got a book, right? Uh, and this is- this is not canon, god, no, but he's got this book, right? And what's its Creepy Thing? Well it eats anything that's-
Alasdair: [holds up a handwritten sign that says "4 LEGAL PURPOSES"]
Helen, overlapping, distraught: No! Alex!
Alex: -put between it's pages-
Helen: Alex, no!
Alex: Job done! That'd work! Creepy book!
Once again the same book briefly appears.
Helen: No!!!
Alex: It's- it's- it's Leitner.
Alasdair: [puts away the sign]
Alex: The majority of his problems are solved with some form of creepy book!
The book flashes onscreen one last time.
Helen: No! [dissolves into laughter]
Alex: Jonny will never forgive me. Actually, chat, please don't tell Jonny I said that.
[Woe is Me, on the world's smallest violin, begins to play]
Alex: He will never forgive me.
Helen: Ohhhh...
Alex: That i- that is unacceptable digression.
Helen: Oh, no...
A screenshot of Jonny's Tumblr post (username jonnywaistcoat) from October 30th, which was posted approximately 1 hour and 49 minutes after these words were said, fades into view. It reads:
"It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that the Magnus fandom is full of fuckin snitches
#lotta you messaging me about shit alex said #and this is a no snitch zone"
Alex: Am I wrong?
Helen: Yes!

My anxiety has made me paranoid, I can’t here laughter, whispering, plain talking, I can’t see texting, I can’t do anything without thinking I’m being made fun of or talked about in some way

My favourite thing ever is the way Ashley gets Leon to smile. Honest to god, his most sincere and genuine smiles are the ones he's given Ashley.
Now if she could just get him to laugh, that would be something completely unprecedented.
Sorry, it just occurred to me literally today that Leon never laughs -- even one time -- at any point in this series. Other protagonists, at the very least, laugh at how stupid a villain's plan is sometimes. Not this guy. Not our Leon. He's too dead inside. Bro doesn't even laugh at OG Salazar, who may as well have circus music playing in the background any time he's on screen. We stan a depressed king.
I was actually thinking about this a little last night -- again, in the context of the whole "Ashley is Leon's anchor to reality/his road back to himself" thing that I've talked about before, while also paired with the shitpost-but-not I made the other day about Leon's sense of self-worth and identity.
Leon drifts further and further away from himself as the series goes on, and not only does he not smile anymore, he becomes downright sullen. There was a time -- a significant period of time, actually -- where you could have said that one of Leon's defining traits was his optimism. That stops being true by the time of Damnation; Leon's optimism is replaced by hollow machismo in a poor attempt at a coping mechanism in that movie -- and, by the time of Vendetta, even the machismo has fallen to the wayside. By the age of 37, Leon has completely and utterly embraced the creeping sense of despair that's been hounding his steps for years.
That has never been who he was. But it's who he is now.
And, as soon as I had that thought, something occurred to me that I somehow had not noticed in the 18 years since RE4 OG has been out:
Ashley is a foil for Ada.
That wasn't her intended purpose when she was created, but it's the narrative role that she's come to inhabit as the series has gone on and Leon's character has progressed without her.
In OG canon, Leon thinks of Ada as a part of himself that he can't let go. But the longer he clings to her, the less of himself he becomes.
And the last person to actually see him as his true self, lifted up from the despair, and without hiding (fully) behind a veneer of machismo was Ashley -- someone he did let go. Even in OG, he is very genuine and very sincere with his affection for her (platonic or not) in a way he really isn't with anyone after RE4.
So, when you point out that his smiles for her are genuine, there's really something to that. He trusts Ashley with a piece of his heart that he doesn't show to anyone else post-RE2. Like, literally, the last person who probably saw him like that was Sherry, and we already know that Leon estranges himself from her almost completely after they're taken into CIA custody following RE2.
And the Remakes make this way more obvious than the OG games did, too -- not only because of the RE engine being great for facial expressions, but because of the way the script changes make certain parts of Leon's character more noticeable. If you go straight from RE2make to RE4make, the entire opening sequence involving the cops and the hunting lodge is absolutely horrifying. If I was a new fan coming in from RE2make to RE4make, I would be knocked on my ass and going "This is not my Leon. This is not the sweet boy that I know. What the fuck happened to him?"
RE4make does such a good job with sharply juxtaposing who Leon was with who he is now. By the time of RE4make, Leon is so beaten down and tired and closed off and angry and, honestly, scared -- that he almost kind of feels like a completely different character. Except, he's not a different character. He's still Leon -- just, Leon with his blinders ripped off and his heart broken.
And, we know that he's still Leon, because every once in a while, the sweet boy that we know comes back. It's infrequent, and it's only for a few moments, but he's still in there. And it always -- every single time -- is only ever Ashley that pulls it out of him.
And Ada? She forces him to retreat again immediately, and he locks himself back up tight.
So, when Ashley gets permanently erased from Leon's life and Ada becomes more of a permanent fixture in it, that sweet boy from RE2 disappears, and he's replaced entirely by the version of Leon that's heartbroken and angry all the time -- because Ada is a constant reminder of all that he's lost, whereas Ashley, as his only true success story, was a hopeful reminder of all that he could potentially be.
I honestly don't think that Capcom even realizes that this is how they've written Leon's character. I don't think it was intentional for Leon's smile to fade with Ashley's absence in his life.
But that's just kind of how it happened.

What if Ghost wears his mask because, after all the torment his father rained on him... he got the nervous tic of smiling AND laughing...
He starts getting nervous and his lips start to twitch up into a smile.... He can't stop it. It just... happens
Someone can be brutality killed in front of him but because of his father, his lips just twitch into a smile instead of a frown or grimace. It doesn't reach his eyes so no one really knows it, but he feels disgusted with himself anyway. Smiling and laughing at someone suffering? "What kind of monster are you Simon?"
