#atp i'm just taking him out the source. i love the source a lot don't get me wrong i just want him here.

[caracello]

i gotta stick my tongue in that guy's mouth.

[sapphire-weapon]

i just finished Infinite Darkness and have a lot of Thoughts™️. please indulge me if you'd like.

spoiler + long post warning

i went into it with pretty low expectations because everyone kept on calling it a shitshow. it's not bad per se, but it wasn't good either. it was.. meh. 2.5/5.

afaik ID takes place in 2006, and RE4 in '04. so why tf does Leon look like he's at least 40??

that honestly fucked it up timeline-wise for me. was the show purposely designed not to fit into the timeline in any way whatsoever a la "welcome to raccoon city"?

if that's the case, Leon and Claire still somehow are able to remember the events of Raccoon City in this timeline.

my brain can't come to a logical conclusion over the timeline, so i'll leave it at that.

i wish they gave Claire more screen time. they did her so dirty imo.

what were they trying to set up with Claire and Leon's interactions? a loveteam? if this was so, what even was their last conversation in ep 4?

the Claire on top of Leon scene. tf? what the hell were they trying to set up? were they going to fuck and continue the redfield bloodline right then and there? kiss? hug? maybe punch each other's lights out?? i'm seriously so fucking confused.

Shen Mei and Leon too. Leon asks her out and she declines. what was the point of that conversation? i'm just going to assume it's to show the locket with Jun See's picture in it.

(were they trying to show how bitchless Leon is at least in this series?)

why the hell did Jason kill Shen Mei? what was the point? why didn't Leon give a shit when she died? it was like he just forgot about her.

i love how President Graham believes anything as long as Leon is involved. in ep 1 when Leon's late: "it's fine bc you saved my daughter." in the last ep when Patrick tells him that Wilson was behind everything and cites Leon as source, Mr. POTUS decides to wing his speech ON THE SPOT just because of that fact. what if Patrick was making it up? that really would have fucked up international relations and all that. i don't know. Graham really loves Leon i guess.

going off of that, i wish we got to see more of Patrick. i would have loved to see him interact more with Leon.

what is gonna happen to that chip!?

i have no idea if a Season 2 would be able to salvage/explain the plot, but honestly i don't think the series deserves a Season 2. it might be a waste of time and money plus an even bigger disappointment to fans.

alright, onto performances.

Nick Apostolides to me sounds like someone who's breaking in a new pair of shoes. it sounds like he's still getting used to walking in them and therefore tries different things (which i find ironic since he'd already voiced baby faced rookie cop Leon S. Kennedy atp, but also understandable as Leon sounded young in that game). he's all over the place imo. he sounded like RE2R Leon, RE4R Leon, and someone else entirely throughout the four episodes. but as you said in another ask, he really made up for it in RE4R. solid voice acting all around imo.

Ray Chase. before i saw him here i knew him as Neuvillette (aka "according to the judgment of the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale") in Genshin Impact. his line delivery is stellar. i hope that's also him voicing mutated/infected Jason because he sounds fantastic there. but there's a line that he says there that sounds so awkward because the delivery is so sped up that the emotion is gone.

Stephanie Panisello also voices Claire in RE2R, but i haven't seen too much of her there to compare it to her performance here. i will say, however, that i honestly enjoyed her performance here, but there are times when she sounds like she's holding back a bit. it would have been perfect if she let go a little bit more.

Jona Xiao as Shen Mei was also great, but i think she also suffers the sams problem as Stephanje in that she sounds like she'a holding back.

Doug Stone as Wilson was perhaps the most enjoyable for me, as well as Billy Kametz who voiced Patrick.

this (https://youtu.be/HN2OkCu6FbE?si=jl7K8tILCYoheGCX) was pretty badass tho

https://youtu.be/7lnFgfhVW-E?si=RZ-EF-WN2vVDY8PS holy shit.

the unfortunate thing is

most of my responses to your reactions boil down to "welcome to the RE CGI-verse." like:

why tf does Leon look like he's at least 40??

i wish they gave Claire more screen time

why the hell did Jason kill Shen Mei? what was the point? why didn't Leon give a shit when she died?

all fall under that category LMAO

now, in terms of things i can respond to:

was the show purposely designed not to fit into the timeline in any way whatsoever a la "welcome to raccoon city"?

no. just because leon's character model looks bad doesn't mean that the story exists out of universe. it takes place in 06 and is part of the regular OG canon timeline. period.

what were they trying to set up with Claire and Leon's interactions?

nothing.

the CGI-verse is the reason why a few true cleon diehards still hold onto hope that cleon will still somehow be endgame, but the fact of the matter is that leon and claire just have That Kind of Friendship. it goes nowhere; it's just how they are.

Shen Mei and Leon too. Leon asks her out and she declines. what was the point of that conversation? i'm just going to assume it's to show the locket with Jun See's picture in it. (were they trying to show how bitchless Leon is at least in this series?)

both explanations are correct. ID adds a new dimension to the running "OG Leon is a Fucking Slut Who Can't Actually Score" gag by making him an actual homewrecker this time around. but ultimately yes it was to show the locket.

what is gonna happen to that chip!?

nothing and you know it lmao

this (https://youtu.be/HN2OkCu6FbE?si=jl7K8tILCYoheGCX) was pretty badass tho

this is the best moment that OG leon has in the entire series and i'm not joking. it's not the best in the sense of "this is when he, as a person, is at his best." it's the best in the sense of "this is the only moment in the entire series where we get to see leon do his Actual Job and know what he Actually Does outside of outbreak incidents, and it serves to add more context and perspective to so many other facets of his character." i could write an entire fucking essay about this scene/moment. god.

goD

Hi val!

I been doing alright. I want to write but I have more adult responsibilities than usual to attend sooo…😭 Hoping to get back to it next weekend and still be motivated

On hot take I assume as in like a controversial question? (It's not boring btw, I've been thinking about it for a couple of minutes hehe)

Yeah, when I asked that question, I was thinking something that people might be split on like mint chocolate controversy (I’m against btw) or pineapple pizza (I’m for btw). 

But there are times when they don't do anything wrong and are criticised for it (like things I see as normal and others don't)

Yeah, to me, at the end of their day, they’re humans and not objects. They’re not perfect and that’s okay. If I don't like an idol's actions, I just don't follow them anymore? Too much work to type lmao.

What do you mean there are controversies because they smoke??? 💀💀💀

ASKDFSF I saw a article like a month ago and they were criticizing him for “being friendly with his female friends”, “hang out with a group of girls,” and “hanging out with non-celebrity female friends” (not perfect quotes but I want to make it clear that THESE ARE NOT MY WORDS). He just sounds like a person in their twenties tbh. There was also a comment about talking about going to the bar. Here’s the source. My favourite comment was this 🥰:

Y'all should stop crying about them dancing PROFESSIONALLY with female dancers like, what is your problem?? You are not only invalidating ENHYPEN's work (because Heesung directed the whole fucking comeback) but also the dancers careers. They didn't chose the dance bruh, they live from dancing what they're assigned to do, so I think it's a disrespect towards them.

I don’t follow ENHYPHEN personally so I can’t speak to it much but was definitely aware about this because it seems like a lot of my moots seem to be engenes. I felt sending protest trucks to remove the female dancers was a uhhh...no words 💀 That's all I have to say.

Hey again moni!!!! Same tho, I've been wanting to write but haha I've got to see were to live if i am accepted at the college I want lol (might post something today tho👀)

I'm also against mint choco but I'm for pineapple pizza ahhshshsn (the problem with pineapple pizza imo is that it is hot, like when I make pizza at my house we first do the pizza then add the pineapple so yeah auuduaus)

I think people keep forgetting that they are as equal as each and everyone of us, like being famous doesn't give you anything different from me (well yeah money and fame, but for what honestly?)

Bruh I'm not even surprised atp but it is alarming how controlling some "fans" are :/

Yeah no words left to say, but they are just doing their job like???? What???

Anyways hope you can write when you can and that you can rest a lot

Lots of love moni <3

Hi!

How's ur day?

Ur so right about LYK..the cheater role isn't for him. And that actress doing soomin also not it😭😷 please save me from this drama so disappointing BYE I wish there was someone else for soomin role 😭

I don't have any pets. I wish I had, though. I did have a dog around 8 -9 years ago, but we gave it away. It takes effort to take care of them. im still a student, so I don't have one. Besides, I'm living with my parents. I'll get a retriever and an orange cat🥹 when I start living on my own. Actually, I am scared of dogs.

Flashback to 5 years ago, I went out to get something from a local store, this dog they had was out. The dog kept barking at me (maybe because of my mask), and then it almost bite me. I was crying for my life. That shop owner just kept saying "shh shh." I was so pissed at him lol, but I just came home. I actually think animals hate me or something. There's some cows/ox on my way to college. I have to hold onto my dear life every time I pass them. One time, I got hit by one of those (thanks to my neighbor guy who saved me. It was embarrassing for me. The save was heroic, and I fell in love with him, my savior 😩jk) I took a different path one time when I saw a group of them standing, it felt like those bastards were waiting for me. I took like extra 5 kms to walk and to make the day worse, some guys(I hate) in my class made fun of me. The day is printed on my head!

I do keep attracting reptiles(hate em) and insects. Like snakes, all kinda lizards (they are ewww), skinks!

Story time 2:

2016/7, we used to live in a very foresty(I forgot the word) kind of area, the grass was tall as my dad (6 ft). Basically everything lived there. It's a place straight out of horror movies. Had to live there because of my parent's job there. One day, I was going to take my books from the shelf to study. This shitty huge ass skink jumped onto my lap. I didn't know it got there. IT WAS SO HUGE I didn't know they can get that big. Still gives me goosebumps and nausea. I seen too many snakes,centipedes and I'm not bothered by them atp. Oh and ants and other insects love me, they always kiss me on the lips[sarcasm] (istg they always bite my lips😭😭 I don't even know how they get there)

I had a spider as a pet. I loved it but someone killed it..probably they were scared of my baby.

That was long! We got diverted from the og path.

Do you have any pets?

cat anon!!🥹 i'm sorry for taking a long of time to reply, i just went back from my vacation and i prefer to answer long ask through my laptop :'))

my days are going okay lately! thank you for asking🥹 what about yours??

RIGHT?! omg maybe i'm biased but i still think he's best with comedic roles rather than serious... murder-y roles, like it doesn't suit his personality (or face) at all😭 HAHAHAH the way you scrapped it omg, and now i'm too because yeah... i can't take this farce any longer😭

ahhh i so relate!! my parents didn't allow pets because it'll take a lot to care for them and such, and my househelper isn't that reliable either so yeah, pets are banned in my house😭

omg... that's so scary😭 if i were you i'd be scared shitless too! that shopkeeper grrrrr why didn't he do anything to help🥲 cows?! okay... that's new... i never know that cows can be aggressive🥹 but isn't that sweet that your neighbor helped you out!? i'd swoon over being saved from cows too!!🥹 and experience like that would totally be printed in my head for as long as i live :')))

SNAKES JASDKA i know i hate them too they're scary and dangerous🥲 and insects! i think i also have this magnet for attracting roaches... ew i hate them so much, they look so dirty and what's more... can fly?! i was screaming my head off when i saw one flying over my head ajdsdsdas and centipedes... i'm so scared of them, is it true that they're poisonous?

the "everything lived there" took me out😭 omg cat anon, if i were to be put in your place, i'd do everything you were doing too ahahahah... but spider? i'm also scared of spiders too... (now that i think about it, there are many things i'm scared of lmao) i kind of admire you for having spider as a pet!🥹

pets that i had is limited to fishes and fishes only🥹 they are in an aquarium, you only need to sprinkle food and leave them🥹 they're peaceful and that's why my parents allowed me to have some...

Misc: Reddit users are some assholes bruh

Kinda ironic tbh. The only placed I've talked about this blog is in the dph subreddit. But lemme explain

What originally made me want to talk about this was this comment I got on the post I made on the dph subreddit. I won't lie I came off a bit abrasive in my post. I feel a little bad for it. But seeing how preachy people are in the subreddit, I wanted to make sure that those types won't come to my shit and start whining that I didn't immediately have a success story. The post didn't get much traction tbh, I got like 2 upvotes and no followers from it I don't think. Which was fine tbh, maybe someone'll look through the subreddit and be curious. Or not honestly. It doesn't really matter.

But through all that I thought it was just gonna be a dead post and I kept it moving. TIl I got a notif and I was like Oh! wonder if they're gonna tell me their story I hope I can help em out

Nope.

Just a random getting mad that the link to my page set my profile picture as the picture for the post. I get it tbr. It prolly would look like I'm mocking Juice if that was just there with no context. But why attack off rip? Literally one click would've shown that it's just my profile picture. I picked it cause I happen to like Juice WRLD. That's literally it. I have/had something Juice related on damn near all my accounts atp. But ofc, I wouldn't expect anyone to know that off rip. But even then like.. did you really think that was the best time to attack me for that?

Dude never even apologized for the shit. Just attacked me and once I told him the very simple context of it being my fucking profile picture dude just explained himself and kept it moving. Who does that on a post of someone talking about their fucking struggles with addiction??

The dph subreddit is a cesspool for those types tbh. I've been downvoted for the stupidest shit. It's so pathetic. I'm not saying like oh sit there and coddle us or something but like.. how did yall take a safe space for people struggling to a place to shit on and judge people for not having better options? All we're seen as is some tools to make themselves feel high and mighty. Every post is either A. "why dont you smoke/do dxm instead" or "ew wtf how can you guys do this???" with a quick thing about how its harming us as if thats what they actually care about. I swear. People pick and choose what addictions they want to care about. Imagine how harsh people would be to people doing that to alcoholics lmao. But no people just see this shit aas some junk only dumb teenagers do and that apparently gives people the right to just "tough love" people out their problem.

There's a lot of those types in general tbh. I guess for some people the logic is be mean to people until told otherwise..? That's the only explanation I can think of. I see it everywhere. All of social media and irl ofc. But reddit?? Hiveminds. I guess it's cause of how easy it is to find group with likeminded people but omg??

r/teenagers had a massive post with people obviously exaggerating stories about people wearing chokers to "justify" their horrible toxicity towards them, to a point they were wishing death and harm on people wearing em. Then downvoting explanations WITH MULTIPLE CREDIBLE SOURCES 💀

r/pso2 has a realll big problem with people having differing opinions in general. Anyone that dislikes the skimpy big boob thing they got going in there is deemed "scared of boobs" when in reality it's just old seeing people promoting that same old body type and lowkey objectifying it tbr. Nothing wrong with boobs but it gets a little clear when those boobs are attached to the same greatly unrealistic body with slight variations. Plus, I made a post about really disliking the latest episode at the time and people got so weird in the comments. I'm not saying debate me or anything but people were attacking me for not liking the episode while liking the episode before it which is deemed bad by everyone apparently

r/tifu even has it bad. It wasn't a super popular post. Dude was just talking about his tooth cracking due to a combo of poor hygiene and biting into a fresh ass jolly rancher and everyone took that as an opprotunity to shit on the fact that he has an s/o and point and laugh about how his breath "must" smell. Like. Why?? Dude was literally talking about not knowing wth he was going to do cause he did not have the money to get it fixed and instead of consoling or ofering options, they instead decided to kick him while he's down since there wasn't all that many people fighting for him, including his damn self. He just kept saying it was okay cause he deserved it. But just. DIsgusting bruh.

Reddit really made me lose my faith in humanity. Other platforms are just as bad for that shit but reddit especially just showed me just how many cruel people there are. Even the nicest people on the planet might be one topic away from showing their true colors and its just.. gross. I always felt like it was easier to at the very least be neutral. No energy into being sweet or no energy into being an absolute dick and making people feel bad for your own entertainment. But it feels like everyone forgets that others are people too. That with a combo of fucked up situations I've been in my damn self has made me so hesitant to see the good in people
