It's interesting how Buck's love interests are all written in a way that ends because of the reason they meet/happen in the first place and then of course, we have Eddie.

Abby, who changes Buck's view of a healthy relationship but then turns around and ghosts him, making him wait for months on end and letting him realize she's not coming back on his own.

Ali, who meets Buck during a dangerous situation in his line of work and then leaves him for how dangerous his work is.

Taylor, who lashes out at Buck for using her as a fake date and saying she thought she could trust Buck to be a friend who then ends up using him for her career and chose to put his friends in danger.

Natalia, who's there to help him embrace and deal with his temporary death but it leads to their break up because of the constant talk surrounding death when Buck's not comfortable with it.

We can't confirm for Tommy till it ends but it's important to note how he offers to get Buck into his interests like flying and muay thai yet doesn't show effort with Buck's interests like dressing up according to the bachelor party theme despite Buck being stressed about it. And we also have the fact that the entire reason they got together was due to Buck's jealousy for Eddie which he then claims to be was for Tommy. Makes me think they are either going to end because of differing interests OR because of the jealousy issue popping up again.

Funnily enough, every scene above has an Eddie parallel:

Eddie co-parents with Buck and not only does this not stop after a dangerous event but Eddie also has Buck down as a legal guardian (healthy relationship - Abby).

Eddie is in the same dangerous line of work and they have each other's backs. This happens right off the bat too.(dangerous job - Ali).

The Lawsuit era and The Dispatch era - both where they "betray" each other but manage to work through it (betrayal/lie - Taylor).

Eddie doesn't pressure Buck to talk about his temporary death until Buck's ready and is more focused about him living than in his death (death doula - Natalia).

Eddie who has different interests than Buck (poker, basketball and UFC/MMA) but also manages to show interest and actively takes part in whatever Buck comes up with; he suggests their outfit for the themed party AND ends up staying there for Buck even when others leave (different hobbies & showing interest/taking part - Tommy).

Absolutely fascinating when you start noticing that Buck's relationships keep failing for one reason or another and then we have him and Eddie who face the same sort of situations but they still come out of it stronger together.

It's clear that there's a reason Buck is able to overcome anything when it comes to Eddie (that conversation with Maddie about being there for each other even at their worst 👀) and we've already established that everything Eddie looks for in a partner is already something he has found in Buck. So really, all that's left is for them to realize that hey, the one I'm looking for is right in front of me! 🤷🏽

And yes, it's been said to death (hah) but you don't find it son you make it. And Buck and Eddie have already made it.

is very sweet to you (unless when he’s upset, he doesn’t think super clearly and assumes you hate him so he starts begging and guilting you,,, um…)

would give you anything you asked for

when he gets flustered (and he gets flustered easily) he gets nosebleeds 

wants to lock you up in his basement so he can be the only one that looks at you (but he doesn’t bc. what if you start hating him… and ask to leave…)

could kill someone, might kill someone

loves using pet names!

very pathetic

misspells things a lot (expect a lot of typos if he’s texting)

tamaki's relationship with the others!

TAMAKI -> CASSIAN: who is this </3

CASSIAN -> TAMAKI: uhhh i don’t really have a clue?

TAMAKI -> CECILIA: i’ve seen her a few times at the mall i think? i recognize her bc of her pink hair lmfao

CECILIA -> TAMAKI: ohhh i’ve seen him! sometimes when i go shopping i see him, he’s got a cool look

TAMAKI -> LUNE: ahh, the scary guy? saw him beating the fuck out of this guy, it was pretty entertaining, and he looked like he was having a lot of fun lol

LUNE -> TAMAKI: oh i remember this guy, shockingly. he saw me beating someone up and then told me to carry on, strange dude

TAMAKI -> LUCIAN: ohh luci, he’s a funny guy, we’re friends, i don’t know how we became friends and i’m almost certain he doesn’t either. we hang out every now and then, he’s strange but he’s not a bad guy, he’s pretty entertaining if i’m being honest. he kind of reminds me of shadow the hedgehog a bit? but i think that’s the vibe he’s going for. 

LUCIAN -> TAMAKI: tamaki? i think he’s cool, he’s kinda like me, so we see eye to eye on a lot of things. i… don’t remember how we became friends honestly. i usually ride solo but he’s alright, i don’t mind keeping him around (secretly kinda happy that he has a friend though, as much as he won’t admit it) 

TAMAKI -> NOX: not a damn clue

NOX -> TAMAKI: am i supposed to know who this is?

TAMAKI -> ROWAN: i… don’t know </3

ROWAN -> TAMAKI: hmm??? :D

i also decided to try something new! here's how he is in a relationship :D

TAMAKI tends to cater to your needs and tries to treat you as well as possible but can become unstable at times. he will never ever take his anger out on you but instead becomes sad and desperate. he hates getting into arguments and will beg for forgiveness if he thinks you’re upset with him, but if he’s upset with you he tries to guilt you into feeling bad and spending more time with him. he likes to take care of you as much as he can, if you guys are in a relationship he will make you feel loved constantly, he likes keeping you happy. he’s very insecure and needs a lot of reassurance but he can make you happy he promises! he likes taking you shopping and dressing you up. he especially likes it when you help pick out clothes for him. he wants to pamper you as much as he can. he gives you some of his sweaters, his arm covers, and lets you basically do whatever you want. he likes having your attention on him so he loves to stay near you, he loves it when you guys play games together and loves to play the guitar for you. he gets really flustered and giggly when you do his makeup or hair, he loves you so much. he is the happiest when he is around you and would drop anything to be with you. if you ever left him he would die. he can’t live without you.

(i have this little blurb for my other ocs too! if you wanna see them pls lmk haha)

[poppyseed-cookie]

Call me crazy but I just feel like if you’re hating on a ship where one character represents Deceit and the other represents Truth, and you’re trying to prove to the shippers that they’re wrong, and you do so by taking everything the Deceitful one says at face value and just completely dismissing everything the Truthful one says, then perhaps you need to reflect and realize that the one twisting canon to fit their vision IS YOU? Just a thought 😭

[ UV Albert Wesker Uroboros & PG67 HCs ]

These take after the knowledge that PG67 contains hastily-added leech genes. This is full of medical jargon related to virology and genetics. It's hard sci-fi styled!

tags: medical:genetic;neurology (hardly);virology;needles (PG67-A/W), cannibalism mention, childhood trauma, body horror, mental decay

Such a far cry from his beginnings... he's truly taken after the man he hates the most.

Unfortunately for Wesker, adding Uroboros in intensely massive quantities to an existing Progenitor-67 infection is a poor choice that makes him spend much of his fight with Chris alternating between pouncing him like a rabid animal and curling like the death throes of a dying spider.

And unfortunately for Chris, Wesker doesn't die when he's left at the volcano to stew in a puddle of himself. Even with the awakened lack of thermophilic qualities as a result of the genetic influence of G, there is enough local flora and fauna to keep him alive... albeit in a subdued state.

Physiological:

Uroboros, combined on the initial foundation of Progenitor 67, takes after Progenitor 67's metabolic inefficiency and drives that far higher than it was ever meant to go in an attempt to sow compatibility.

Due to this, Wesker needs a truly ridiculous amount of calories (~6,000 - ~9,000 kcal/d) to remain fully intelligent.

A lesser amount will generally retain him, though he will experience a plethora of negative symptoms related to starvation (~3,500 - ~5,500 kcal/d).

The very brink of his sanity and humanity will find him lacking if he consumes the average human male's daily caloric intake (~1,800 - ~3,000 kcal/d).

Wesker cannot digest iron bound to salt or any organic chelates except heme (or hemeprotein) as a result of initial Progenitor 67 infection.

Progenitor 67 epigenetically alters his enterocytes. The genes involved with this are the upregulation of HCP1 and the downregulation of DMT1 and, less intensely, Dcytb, and is a result of both Progenitors' own natural leaning and, primarily, the hasty introduction of leech genes when microinjection became available.

This ultimately means that, as time drags on, he begins to find his palate shifts from a lot of power smoothies to meat.

But there is something crucial here: 67% or more of heme iron is lost when you cook meat. That means...

↑ He slowly slips into preferring his meat blue or raw, otherwise he won't be able to properly supplement his need for heme iron.

↑ With the addition of Uroboros, which dethrones and replaces Progenitor, this change persists and couples roughly with his modified caloric needs.

Usually present in brown adipocytes, UCP1 and UCP2 are both overactive as a result of the improper inclusion of Uroboros' gene signalling.

As a result of this, Wesker's natural temperature is hotter than a normal human being's.

He's probably uncomfortably warm to others - almost naturally feverish.

UCP1 and UCP2 cause proton leakage across the mitochondrial membrane - UCP1 being the primary uncoupler regarded in thermogenesis.

↑ As a result of this leak, ATP use is less efficient. This exacerbates his metabolic disorder.

↑ The inclusion of UCP2 upregulation alongside UCP1 was done out of an abundance of caution.

The gluconeogenesis enzyme PEPCK-C, involved in the burning of fat to produce glucose, is overexpressed in dual infection.

While this gives Wesker higher stamina and physical endurance, it comes at the expense of contributing to insulin resistance and is a key player in his bodies' teetering metabolic imbalance.

↑ This is because Uroboros doesn't upregulate and express PEPCK-C in just skeletal muscular cells - it does so where it is already present, too; this is a personal oversight.

↑ PEPCK-M was personally avoided in its' development because it is a popular oncogene.

Uroboros; a monster that eats itself continually without end. It physically presents a sign of Wesker's malingering, endless need to consume across his skin.

Patches of necrotizing, hardening skin and flesh form across his arms and legs in uneven patterns.

Scaly, itchy lesions creep along his cheekbones and the sides of his neck like a corrupted skin flush.

These are a weaker, useless vestigial presentation of the hardening of skin he undergoes when he's being flash-fried by high temperatures.

They're positive for many of the proto-oncogenes related to melanomas and are undoubtedly at least oncogenetic, but aren't strictly cancerous; instead, they're a misguided attempt at defense that vacillates 'on' without facing heat danger.

One of the scars of Wesker's infection and subsequent mutative transformation are hypermelanotic deposits that coat previously-mutated skin in a dark fade.

They start strongest at his fingertips and weaken at the base of his shoulders.

They are also strongest in the center of his chest where his macronuclei is present and taper off approaching his shoulders and abdomen.

His face has some of the same tinting in uneven splotches descending strongest from where he was burned.

Uroboros enhances the strength of many of his bones - more potent the closer to the surface of his body - by fortifying them with calcium and double-thickening them.

As a feature of the beginning stages of Uroboros' starvation, it will begin to leach calcium out of bones and the deposits it creates.

↑ These deposits are not found in the brain or the skull.

When resources are threateningly low, the bones will be stripped for the calcium they uniformly contain, causing him to experience an effect similar to calcium gout / pseudoarthritis, malaise, and brittling.

This leaching undoes itself and becomes re-fortifying under the duress of stress hormones like cholecystokinin and epinephrine. Less specific but still counted in re-fortification is cortisol and norepinephrine.

↑ Re-fortifying can be triggered accidentally through rigorous & sustained physical exercise or copulation.

Epigenetic changes brought on by Progenitor physiologically are stacked upon inappropriately and pseudorandomly by Uroboros like re-patchwork, which leads to a general instability and accidental incorporation of Progenitor's physical defense mechanisms.

This is what ultimately enables him to survive the events of RE5.

Neurological:

Progenitor infection spiraling into his temporal lobes, brain stem, and, minorly, his frontal lobes as years progress are the cause of his irritation and aggression in RE5.

It does this because it has no antimutagenic properties unlike the more developed t-Virus, slowly mutating out of control into a dysfunctional beast as Wesker experiences more and more stress and trauma.

A bit like G in this regard...

His SERT is disrupted by its' presence in the midbrain raphe nuclei along the brain stem.

This causes elevated extracellular serotonin levels initially, followed by receptor downregulation and eventual serotonin deficiency.

The lack of available serotonin leads him to experience, at first, heightened periods of aggression. Later, this becomes mania and even delirium if he forfeits sleep or a PG/67 shot, because...

As time ticks on, his dopamine begins to become dysregulated as well.

This imbalance contributes to mood swings, aggression, and impaired decision-making.

It also leads to a loss of the ability to feel pleasure or joy in things, making him manic and paranoid, taking risks uncharacteristically to feel something, anything.

As Progenitor 67 degrades brain function, particularly areas involved in impulse control and aggression, Wesker experiences the uncontrollable urge to consume.

This leads him to cannibalize interns and people he calculates won't be missed, as well as people who piss him off enough. During this time it does change - and become true - that a misplaced boop! or headpat! might get you killed.

His ego begins to vacillate and strengthen itself in an effort to maintain itself despite his decline. If he can just finish Uroboros, everything will be okay again, he can fix himself...

His brain practically relies on his PG67-A/W dose before he gains Uroboros.

A rapid decline in cognitive and emotional stability when he’s off the dose is present.

It's not unlike sundowning...

You would not want to see his MRIs during this time. They look awful - his brain has lesions and there are parts that are grossly overgrown; there are tiny black specks where Progenitor has gnawed holes in the fabric of him. If he hadn't roped it in, he would probably end up eventually going completely feral from his brain swelling up against the sides of his skull; he'd just become another victim of Cannibal Disease and turn, simply painfully slowly.

Uroboros is not supposed to crawl into the brain. It's supposed to leave it unaffected - but Progenitor having already curdled and spread unchecked into it gives it an opening for opportunistic infection.

It attempts to knit the holes and tamp down overgrown regions, but in doing this, it feeds from a sort of 'genetic template' that restores Wesker's ability to feel and feel greatly. This includes the reactivation (and reanimation) of the greatly disordered regions of his brain responsible for empathy, sleep regulation, attachment, and guilt.

It also cannot perfectly recreate lost tissue or resurrect memories from dead, liquefied tissue, so he retains some of his symptoms, like mood swings.

Rage becomes consuming, hunger becomes voracious, and guilt becomes haunting; he is plagued with an unfortunate (to him) tendency to consider others.

He finds it a prying weakness, but he can no longer tamp it down into nonexistence as he did; he is, essentially, thermally reduced to his Arklay days in behavior. He’s still intelligent and cunning, but he must now wrestle with intense emotional responses that don’t align with his goals at all...

Guilt and empathy are so foreign to him they are nearly out-of-body; he views them clinically and tries to rationalize them away, but his inability becomes the stake that impales him and imparts a malingering sense of conflict.

...and he must take a good, hard, long look at his goals and how far they've diverted from their initial precedence.

... what is he now? What use does he serve in this world - to what master does he heel, clearly dethroned from his position? These questions and more are things he asks himself now.

Is he doomed to roam aimlessly without purpose until he perishes?

Beta is very shy and gets scared easily, so how is his way of showing affection towards someone he cares about? I have seen that he seems to hold back most of the time and was wondering if he ever acts on it

I once answered to something similar. I said that Beta can be intense in showing affection if you give him the confidence to do so. As long as he sees that his actions will not have a negative effect, he'll decide to act. And Beta can be as intense as a golden retriever when it comes to being affectionate, but that also depends on who this person is

Mostly he'll want to hold you carefully in his arms as long as possible, even if you tell him that you're perfectly capable of walking or if you want to go to the bathroom. Beta is often afraid to give hugs because he thinks he won't be able to contain his strength and will hurt you, so you would have to reassure him in these cases. Since he learned (you taught him) how to kiss, it has become his favorite thing to do!

He'll also give you cute pet names

Shoutout to literally every single new person at my fire station for sneezing a bunch while we were doing shit outside lmao I think they all underestimated how much dirt and plant matter we inhale out there
