#i have no idea if this is true bc i wasnt in the trenches. but this is so funny

Okay just finished Death Island and I have Thoughts

(SPOILERS BELOW. KINDA.)

* Leon content was 👌👌👌 he is Baby

* Chris and Claire best siblings

* Claire being an Asexual Bi Disaster Headcanon reinforced. Also I ship her and Rebecca now

* Jill absolutely goes home to her husband Carlis after this to vent lol

* Chris and Jill dynamic is 👌👌👌 they are like. Soulmates. I don't ship them but they are best platonic soulmates.

* No Ada was boooooo but I didn't see really anything of my NOTP so I'm v content lol.

* Okay Realistically, the writing was very poor. Plot was all over the place/disjointed and it was hard to follow what was going on for the first half. Dialouge cheesy and cringy. But this is Resident Evil. That's a staple at this point lmfao

* The action was over the top and chaotic and admittedly, I laughed my ass off at the final boss fight. It was just... jfc overkill in a good, hilarious way. I lost it when the rocket launchers came out and even more when Chris held the bullet belt(?).

* Truthfully, regarding above, it's bc a lit of moments in this movie reminded me of my time in 7 Days, especially the last boss fight. The act of finding and using random weapons and ammo you happen to loot on spot is Very Much on par w how we do in that game lmao

* On the flip side though, back to the bad writing.... Dylan could've been handled MUCH better. His arc started out great with an interesting premise and even his later ideology**. But it's quickly lost with the typical corny comic muwahaha villainly. Honestly, it could have worked - they couldve shown a sliw descend into masness and evil after Raccoon instead of leaving a very large gap. But that would probably require more time, like Infinite Darkness had (sort of...). Regardless, there was potentialfor him to be both an interesting villain AND the typical Evil. It just wasnt executed properly here.

**(he's not wrong...one of the things RE has always gotten right, and I will defend, is that it's actually not the monsters you need to worry about, but the people behind them. Or rather, the people with higher power and money and greed. That's the true Resident Evil - it's the evil within human society and corporation.)

* Okay but my biggest takeaway, and probably a Weird Opinion, is due to the obvious comparison in internal doubt and ideology (Government Bad, Big Execs Bad, Basically All Human Greed Bad) between Dylan and Leon... Leon could've been the Villain here. While I doubt he'd turn to bioterrorism, could see him in Dylans exact spot. Disavowed/disillusioned with the government, tired of the lies and cover-ups, tired of his entire LIFE being robbed by state officials who needed a lapdog/cleanup boy/scapegoat. Turning sides because he's just Exhausted and 5000% Done and as he said in Vendetta (yeah I know he's "better" now but mmmm I have Doubts), it's just one bitter fight after another with no end and no way out. Also...Leon in a black button up and trench coat, just sayin' 🤷

(May write an AU post on this bc know I have Ideas)

* AND MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE: NOT. ENOUGH. SHARKS. WHERE WAS THE GOOD AMOUNT OF SHARK CONTENT I WAS PROMISED? WHERE IS MR NOMNOM MCFIN? I DONT EVEN GET A REAL BODY SHOT WHAT THE HE LL

5, 9, 11, 14, 18, 19, 26, 39, 45 (farmer refuted is pretty famously the "disliked" song in hamilton, do you like it or do you just like that one line?)

holy moly thats a lotta questions! answers under the read more bc its longggg

5. favorite fics?

oh boy i have to choose favorites???? alrighty then, they were kids that i once knew still haunts me in the best way (dear evan hansen, massive warning for character death), quite aware of what they’re going through and laugh like me again are from a weird period when i was reading breakfast club fanfic (the first is a reimagining, the second is a continuation) and i really like them both, and im just now realizing i didnt do a lot of fic reading towards the end of the decade so i cant remember which fics impacted me (mostly if i want a fic of some dynamic i write it myself lmao). But a reylo fic is pretty iconic

9. favorite tv shows?

The Good Place and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend are both incredible comedies, also Brooklyn 99, and though its a terrible terrible anime i literally cannot stop watching kakegurui (though for anime i also loved watching ouran high school host club, carole and tuesday, yuri on ice and ore monogatari)

And then of course theres steven universe which is on its own level, legend of korra, gravity falls, she-ra (pls dont let me down), over the garden wall, and infinity train (pls dont let me down season 2) and im probably forgetting a lot of shows i love

11. favorite lines/lyrics from anything that you just want to share?

if i listed all of them id never stop listing them, so here are just a few:

“And ultimately I believe we’ll be okay/It’s so cliche to say these things but repetition is a key” from “Ultimately” by khai dreams

“I’m just a drink away from honesty/so who knows what’s true?” from “Don’t Miss Me?” by Marianas Trench (and of course while we’re on MT, the entire bridge from dearly departed kills me dead each time)

“I’m not bitter, I’m just tired/No use getting angry at the way that you’re wired” from “Guiltless” and “I promise you/It’ll all make sense again” from “Secret for the Mad” both by dodie

“If we dissolved without a trace/would the real world even care?” and “Reality is a lovely place/but I wouldn’t wanna live there” from “The Real World” by Owl City

“Let me go, it’s okay/Let me go/And if I fall/I’ll fall safely” from “Safely” by MALINDA (that entire song tbh is so incredible) (oh also “Whose face is in the mirror today?/Is it me or am I in the way” from “Music Box” also by malinda) and i better stop before i just list the entire discography of all my fav artists. and thats without getting into musical theater, or even non music lines.

14. favorite celebrities?

in general i try not to get too attached to celebrities but to name a few I casually support, Rebecca Sugar, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Adam Young (Owl City), and Rachel Bloom.

18. a fandom you are glad you are no longer part of?19. a fandom that you had the best time in?

superwholock for the former (your fave is problematic lmao)

i actually still enjoy steven universe and the dear evan hansen fandom, and I loved being in the Love, Simon fandom when that was a thing. and I love being in the SCP fandom (well, more like writing for the site but whatever same diff). ultimately ive found my experience in fandom is determined by how i interact with it (i.e. dont attach your personality too strongly to a fandom, srsly. bad idea), and by participating vaguely and in moderation for these fandoms.

26. favorite look you had?

my current look is my best look. Plaid shirts, rainbow converse, bright dyed hair, hella pins, i look the best and the gayest i ever have right now

39. a heated but ultimately irrelevant debate with friends that you won?

i legit cant remember any. i guess my brother stopped trying to make “outer sporce” a thing but that wasnt super heated.

45. farmer refuted is pretty famously the "disliked" song in hamilton, do you like it or do you just like that one line?

I’m sorry, people dont like farmer refuted?????!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!! its so clever and well written and i love it. For shame! FOR SHAME!!!!

look at that! i managed to answer every question without even mentioning your username! happy new year!
