RESIDENT EVIL 2: LIVE ACTION FAN CAST
SYDNEY SWEENEY as CLAIRE REDFIELD
She physically suits the role (just add some hair dye and we’ll be golden), and she’s proven her acting to be absolutely phenomenal. I would love to see her in an action/horror role like resident evil (Sydney as a badass motorcycle chick? Yes PLEASE). Plus she actually looks closer to Claire’s age (19 years old), unlike Kaya Scodelario, who was around 28 and playing a 19 year old, like tf?
LUCKY BLUE SMITH as LEON KENNEDY
This one was a lot harder seeing as how Leon’s looks are one of his most iconic aspects (the baby blue eyes and the emo hair). It’s a shame that Eduart Badaluta doesn’t act. Jensen Ackles also would’ve been an amazing choice if he wasn’t too old to play a 21 year old. But after some digging, I found Lucky Blue Smith! And just to be sure, I photoshopped him into to make sure he suited the look too!
MCKENNA GRACE as SHERRY BIRKIN
Now this is one I don’t need to explain, nor will I take any arguments on this. Just look at their comparisons, then look at Mckenna’s talent. End of story.
HO-YEON JUNG or ANGELABABY as ADA WONG
For Ada, my initial idea was Ho-Yeon Jung because she just has that badass/sexy/spy look to her. She looks like she would screw me over but in a way that would leave me still in love with her (looks at Leon). Also, her in Squid Games is just *chefs kiss*, she’s fucking amazing and her talent is through the roof! But I figured this would be disrespectful to Ada’s Chinese heritage since Ho-Yeon is South Korean. So after much digging I found Angelababy, who is the closest to the Ada image that I could find. While I still prefer Ho-Yeon, Angelababy is a way to respect Ada’s Chinese roots.
DON CHEADLE or COLMAN DOMINGO as MARVIN BRANAGH
Don is an under-utilised actor in my opinion, and after seeing his work in the MCU I would love to see him in more big projects. I think he could really play out Marvin’s character extremely well, and he was my first thought for his casting.
Colman was in Fear the Walking Dead for starters, and I love what I’ve seen of him in Euphoria so far. I can really picture him in this role both aesthetically and character wise. He looks quite like Marvin in this picture (on the right to Marvin) that I actually did a double check on whether he did the model for him.
GILLIAN ANDERSON as ANNETTE BIRKIN
No explanation needed. She fits both aesthetically and talent wise, especially if you’ve seen her in The Great or Sex Education.
OWEN WILSON as WILLIAM BIRKIN
Not that Owens face would be utilised much since William kinda becomes an unrecognisable monster, but Owen fits both aesthetically and he’s a talented actor.

spooktober week 2 - resident evil 8 x one piece, featuring sanji and vampire reader
tw: bl00d, mentions of torture, spoilers for sanjis wci backstory, can the end be taken as slight angst?
summary: after getting teleported to an unknown village, sanji must find a place to stay - and unfortunately for him, the old castle he found is already taken
a/n: no use of y/n. re8 is my comfort game ever since i first played it. the characters are all interesting and i wish the game was longer with us getting to know more abt them. i thought why not write a story where reader is a dimitrescu. if you havent played re8, i highly recommend! even if its titled as a horror game, its not that creepy :)
tags: @cheesesoda cause i know you like both one piece and re ♡ (sorry if u didnt want to be tagged!)
wc: 2.4k
He didn't know where he was. It all happened so fast. In one moment he was up against a weird devil fruit user, and in the other, he was laying in the cold, white snow. Sanji gets up into a sitting position, supporting himself up with his hands. He looks around, observing the terrain around him. It seemed like a village, surrounded by snow-covered mountains. The wooden houses gave him the feeling that this wasn't the most modern place he's ever been to, but it was beautiful. One thing bothered him though: there was nobody.
He found it weird that noone was here, he couldn't hear any noise from the houses either. No happy kids playing in the snow, no old people chatting away on the benches, nothing. Sanji gets up, curious where everyone went. Does anybody even live here anymore? Or is this just a long forgotten inhabited village, and that's why it all seems like he was thrown back in time?
Not knowing where to go, Sanji mindlessly roams the area in hopes of finding someone or something that could help him out. He trusted his crew and that they will get him back somehow, he wasn't worried about that. He knew that there was nothing he could do about the situation, given he didn't even know where he was. But he needed food and shelter until the others find a way to reunite, and in a village he is likely to find these.
Sanji knew that there was something wrong with the village. He would ocassionally see remains of blood splatters on the walls, or broken windows and doors. Maybe he was right, this is an abandoned village. But the blood seemed like it's been there for only a day, meaning that there might be survivors of whatever is going on here.
One thing catches his eye: a giant castle on the side of the village. He could see some faint light from the windows, even if the castle was far from him, meaning that somebody is likely living there. Should he go there armed? No, he got his legs and wits, and he couldn't find a weapon anyway. He stands in front of the grand, stone gate in front of him, the castle on the other side of it. Sanji takes a deep breath, and pushes it open.
He steps trough it, findig a snow-covered trail surrounded by leafless trees, a carriage a few metres away from him parked on the side.
"I've been waiting for you, Mister Vinsmoke." A man speaks, sitting in the carriage, dressed in Victorian-era clothing.
"How do you know my name?" Sanji stops in front of him, curious how a strange man he never met knows his name.
"Blackleg Sanji, the Wing of Strawhat Luffy. I tend to know lots of things, Mister Vinsmoke. The word from the village is proven to be the truth, then. Though I must say, that castle arouses suspicion."
"Yeah, and so do you."
Sanji didn't like how this seemingly merchant knew things about him and called him by his father's name. He preferred to go by Blackleg, the name coming from his real father's, Red Leg Zeff.
"And who do you might be?" He inquires.
"I am but a humble merchant." The man chuckles.
"Here?"
"Forgive my manners. Call me the Duke." He finally introduces himself. Sanji didn't fully trust this man.
"Earlier you said that the castle arouses suspicion. What did you mean by that?"
"That place is full of nothing but blood and death. Nobody ever comes back from there. It's under the management of Lady Dimitrescu." The Duke explains.
"Lady Dimitrescu?" Sanji murmurs to himself. A castle under a woman's rule? Maybe this place isn't so bad after all... "Thank you for your help."
Sanji walks away after this, heading towards the castle. Now he was even more curious about it. Does the castle look more modern on the inside? Who is Lady Dimitrescu? Could he live here until the crew defeats the devil fruit user and he can get back to them? He was hoping that this woman will be kind enough to give him some ingredients to cook and a room where he can sleep. The castle was big anyway, she probably wouldn't mind if he stayed there for a bit.
Here he was, at the castle's entrance. Sanji gupled as he opened the door, trying to be as quiet as possible. He closes them behind himself as quietly as he opened them, and makes its way further into the castle. He was amazed by the interior. The floor was clean, the shiny wooden planks and the sole of his dress shoes creating a clicking noise as he explores the hallways. The walls were a dark shade of green, with some brownish-crimson wood elements, it all looked straight out of a tale.
He stumbles upon the main hall. His eyes widen at the sight. The room is illuminated by the light of the candles placed on the huge chandelier, a large, intricated staircase leading to the second floor while the white tiles shine on the floor. Sanji is mesmerized, findig the whole setting elegant. He was suddenly snapped out of his trance by a voice behind him.
"Who are you?! And what are you doing here?!" Sanji turns around to find a fuming girl standing there, dressed in an all black dress, the hood of it on her head, her eye makeup matching the colour of her outfit.
Sanji froze. He didn't expect this.
"A-are you Lady Dimitrescu?" He shakily asks.
"No, but if she finds out you're here, you'll end up just like all the other men. Same if my sisters find you. They have a lot less self control than I do..." the girl approaches Sanji.
~○~
You stare at the man in front of you, his slightly dissheveled blonde hair covering one of his eyes, the black suit he was wearing perfectly fitting him.
"What do you mean by that, ma cherie?" He asks.
"Mother hates men. And just intruders in general." You tell him, remembering what happened to the last person who entered the castle. Your mom did seem to like the wine made from his blood.
"I-I mean no harm, I promise! I just need cooking materials, and I was wondering if I could sleep here? Please, I'll make food for you, just let me stay for a bit. Just until I can get back to my crew!" He begs, holding your hands together.
You wanted to decline, to send him away before your mother or one of your sisters find him, or before you end up killing him yourself. But he looked at you with such kind eyes, and it seemed like he wasn't scared of you at all. Did he not know anything? About who or what you were? That you could tear his throat out any second? He was holding your hands so gently, like you could break at any moment, staring at you with his cerulean eyes.
"I can't. You came to the worst place possible, run while you can." You break free from his touch, turn around and head back to the direction where you came from. It was for the best. If he stays, he'll just get tortured and killed.
"No, please, I-" he starts, but can't find the right words to finish. So, he just stood there, not moving a muscle, waiting for you to change your mind.
"Who is this manthing?" You hear an all too familiar voice behind you. You turn around, only to see the man with wide eyes, your mother looming over him. Of course she did, she was eight foot tall. This was the end for the man, you knew it. But he did nothing wrong, and he just felt different, you can't just hand him over to your mother.
"What have I told you about men?" Her voice was menacing, and if looks could kill, you would be dead right now.
"I know mother, and I apologise. I stumbled upon him by accident." You explain.
~○~
Sanji didn't flinch. He didn't move, he froze. He didn't turn around to see who or what was behind him, he could feel the presence and see the huge shadow created by the person. His mind was going a million ways, not even being able to focus on the conversation you were having with who he assumed was your mother. One thing he did notice was how your expression changed when you saw her, how you looked so... afraid. Did this woman behind him do something wrong to you? Your complete aura changed, it was noticable. He knew that there's no way he'll fight a woman, and he also knew that the crew won't be here to save him this time. This might be the end for him. He feels as the woman behind him breathes down his neck, then suddenly bites into it.
Sanji grunts, the teeth of the woman deep in his throat. He didn't know what was going on. Is this how he's going to die? No, because the woman pulled back, and he was still alive, standing, breathing, and he could still feel as his heart was beating in his chest. He could hear the two women talking, but his mind was too out of its place to understand what the conversation was about. And that was the last thing he knew before fainting.
~○~
He woke up, chained to the wall in some unkown room. The quiet cracklig of the fireplace gave him a slight comfort, but the pain wouldn't go away. He had to figure out an escape plan, quick. He tried to wiggle himself out the handcuffs, but to no avail.
Just then, a bunch of flies flooded the room, all in the same spot until the seemed to merge together, forming a human-like figure.
"Didn't know you could do that..." he quietly says.
"There are so many things you don't know about me, Vinsmoke Sanji." The girl from earlier says.
"How do you know my name? My manners seemed to dissapear when we first met, i apologise."
"The Duke. He sometimes pays us a visit. He was here this morning while you were here, passed out."
"Well, I didn't even ask you your name, ma cherie. I'm Sanji, I'll get you out of here in no time." Sanji smiles down at her.
"Hm, to me it looks like you're the one who needs to be saved." She looks up at Sanji, who was still chained to the wall. She was right.
"I guess you're not here to save me. Going to bite?" He asks.
"I could. I warned you about my mother and sisters, you didn't listen. Look where it got you."
"What will they do with me? A bunch of pretty ladies sucking all my blood out? It's a better way to go than some I can imagine."
"Don't worry, it's gonna be quicker than that. And a lot more painful. Mother said you'd make some pretty good wine."
"I can in fact make wines, if that's what you wish for."
"Not like that."
"Oh."
The awkward silence set in before being broken by the girl's sigh as she took steps towards Sanji.
"What are you doing, cherie?"
"You want to die here? You mentioned that you got a crew somewhere. Think about them at least." She says, her hands on Sanji's handcuff holding him to the wall. He feels as the first handcuff loosens, and he pulls out his hand from it, looking at the girl in disbelief.
Both handcuffs fell off Sanji's hand, freeing him. He was speechless. This girl that he met yesterday, the one whose mother possesed major hatred towards men and the person who tied him up like this, who could end his life right in this moment just saved his life.
"I don't want to leave you here. Please, come with me. I can see you're not happy here with her." He holds his hand out for the girl to grab, but she doesn't do it. Instead, she looks down, and Sanji knows he was right. She really didn't like it here.
"I... I can't." She holds back her tears, her nails digging into her palm. "A few seconds in the cold air, and I freeze to death. And I mean I turn into a literal ice sculpture and die. I'm not a human like you. I might even end up causing you harm. You felt what my mother did to you. She's a vampire, and so am I."
Sanji is quiet for a few seconds. He doesn't know how to reply. He didn't want to leave her here to suffer under her mother, especially knowing that he could've done something about it.
"That's not a problem. I'll keep you warm if that's what is holding you back. I trust you that you won't bite me. You could've done it the moment we met, but you didn't. I don't care if you are a vampire, we have stranger people on the crew than that. Maybe our talking reindeer could even help you so that you won't freeze to death when it's cold."
She was stunned. This man she met yesterday spoke so kindly to her like nobody ever did before. Not her mother, not her sisters, nobody. She wanted to go, to join the crew, to be free, to know Sanji better, maybe the other crew members too. Talking reindeer? She was interested. She only knew the definition of "friends" from books she was forbidden to read, but now she could have the chance to experience what it's like.
"I... I'm just an experiment, I..." she tries to protest, holding back tears. She wanted to leave, really, but her mother wouldn't approve this. She never got to experience life outside the castle, or see what was outside the walls.
"Looks like we have something in common, then." Sanji warmly smiles. He knew what it felt like. "But now I have a loving crew, and most of the times I forget this part of my past. You can do it, too." He gives reassuring smile. He can't leave her here.
He was right. She lived here so long, the village reminding her every day of the reason of her existence, that she's just the product of some crazy scientist woman's experiments. But now she can leave this behind. Just like Sanji did.
She looks down at Sanji's hand, still held out for her. This time, she places hers into the blonde's, ready to leave.
vinsmoke sanji belongs to eiichiro oda and resident evil 8 belongs to capcom, i do not own any of these.
