Vitorio, some bozo from actual medival europe who hardly even knows what the word game means:

"are you scared? its ok, i am too"

The way Luis asks for a cig when he first meets Leon and Leon responds with “You know, those things will kill you” and then Leon ends up lighting Luis’s final cigarette for him just guts me. Makes me lose my mind. I’ll be having a good day and then I’ll remember that and I’ll be inconsolable.

Knowing me I’m gonna absolutely make this into a longer post but like. Isn’t it just SOOOOOOOO SILLY AND SO GOOFY that Luis bestowed the role of Sancho Panza onto Leon even though they’d only JUST met

Like,,,, Don Quixote isn’t just a book Luis loves a lot- he bases his ENTIRE MORALITY on his own ideas of what Don Quixote means and what the messages behind it are. He SURROUNDS himself with chivalric ideals and so, obviously, he holds that book and it’s characters VERY near and dear to him- hell, he doesn’t even let Ada or Ashley in on just how much this damn book means to him!!!!!!! The other scientists who he worked with during his time with Los Illuminados also called him Don Quixote, but realistically, how much would they have known of Luis’ deep-seeded love for that novel??????

So like. Clearly. There is NO WAY IN HELL Luis doesn’t understand the impact of Alonso (Don Quixote himself) and Sancho’s relationship. He ABSOLUTELY understands the importance of it and how vital to the tale each other are and how intrinsically intertwined they are in each others lives and how one would quite literally have not survived without the other and how they’ve gone through hell and back for each other (in Alonso’s eyes LITERALLY) and how Sancho was there for him when his illusions of fantasy finally faded away

So. Like. Luis picking Leon to call his Sancho HAD to be purposeful right????????

He HAD to have understood the weight of his words and the weight of his decision. Maybe Leon didn’t quite understand at first but Luis????? Luis knew DAMN WELL that Don Quixote and Sancho Panza’s relationship went further than two people who just happen to be on the same adventure. Luis picking LEON to be his Sancho was PURPOSEFUL.

He’s not just any old chum he happens to he stuck with; Leon is a man who fully encompasses EVERYTHING GOOD Luis believes in in the world. Leon is EVERYTHING his chivalric ideals want him to be. He’s an inherently kind and caring and selfless human being and he’s everything Luis wants to see in himself. He saved him from certain death and now they’re connected more by just the circumstances of their situation- they’d go through hell and back for each other and they HAVE. He wants Leon not just to like him but to LOVE him. Because Leon sees past his actions; he sees past his mistakes and up until now, nobody has ever given him that privilege. Just like how Sancho still believed in Alonso and still believed that there was worth in his fantastical delusions.

So how does Luis express this gratitude without just straight up saying ‘I love you’????

By using language he understands and is comfortable using, of course.

By projecting a story that has meant SO MUCH to him onto the both of them.

And GOD. THATS SO POIGNANT TO ME. HES TELLING LEON HE LOVES HIM IN A WAY HES BEST AT AND MOST COMFORTABLE DOING. HES SAYING ‘I LOVE YOU’ IN ALL OF HIS ACTIONS AND PROJECTIONS. WHICH MEANS MORE THAN THOSE THREE WORDS EVER COULD. HES USING HIS OWN LOVE FOR THAT BOOK TO PROJECT HIS LOVE ONTO THE PEOPLE HE CARES ABT GODDAMNIT‼️‼️‼️

(ALSO SIDENOTE THIS DOESNT JUST APPLY TO LEON!!!!! THIS APPLIES TO ASHLEY AND ADA TOO!!!!!!!!!!! HE PROJECTS THIS SAME LAMGUAGE ONTO THEM AS WELL, JUST NOT TO THEIR FACES!!!!!!!!!! HE SHOWS THEM KINDNESS AND LOVE IN HIS ACTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!)

And I think on some level Leon knows this too. He probably hasn’t analysed Don Quixote from every angle possible like Luis has, but he knows- in those final actions, when he takes up the mantle of his Sancho and confirms to Luis that, yes, he WAS a fine knight, he WAS his Don Quixote- I think he knew exactly what Luis had been trying to say to him this whole time. Just…. Using words that best describes it in his own way.

Have an old Serennedy comic about a massage 🤭

Not that anyone needs this, but imagine how ready Leon was to forgive Luis when he died, when all Leon knew about him was that Luis was some Umbrella scientist who used to work for Los Illuminados and was ashamed of that; and then after Luis dies, Leon finds that picture in Luis's lab that reveals he was part of the group who worked on Nemesis, and knew that Luis actively contributed to the string horrors Leon and his friends faced in Racoon City.

"However, I personally think that when Leon decides to find his worth, he’ll stop going after women that don’t want him—no bad mouthing on Leon, though, he totally kicks butt, but when it comes to the ladies, it’s questionable." (x)

Stephanie Panisello fucking gets it.

i don't just want to take care of you, i want you to take care of me too. i want us to both be happy, to both eat well, to both be smiling at the end of this. ー do you feel the same?

I like to believe that he just stands in his crappy bathroom and stares at his reflection in anguish

If you don’t think that Leon Scott Kennedy cums all over himself with his dick having not been touched 5 minutes after you sit on his face and he eats you out, then I don’t think we’re talking about the same Leon Scott Kennedy

In Resident Evil Damnation, Leon's movie of choice to quip about is The Wizard of Oz. In particular, he gives himself the role of the Tin Woodman in his movie allusions - the robot desperately searching for a heart. In the book/movie, it turns out the Tin Woodman, though physically heartless, has always been the group's kindest.

In RE2 remake, the heart key is exclusively found in Claire's route. This wasn't the case in the original game. Thus there are some rooms in the police station Leon can never enter - gated by a heart he doesn't have.

Is the double appearance of "heartless" references with Leon a coincidence? Most likely. Am I still going to think about it for the rest of my days? Absolutely.

it is cleon doobles night....

aeon angels au is corrupting my brain and i need to remedy it

"what is she doing"

*ME FURIOUSLY DRAWING*

me: THE VOICES

(also god i love alliteration)

everytime i enter west office in the police station part of re2 i tear up like. leon's arrival was supposed to be a happy event worth celebrating! his superiors decorated the room with a "welcome leon!" banner for this 21 year old boy's first day at his first job! they set him up a fun little first assignment to break the ice and get him socialized! you can see how much these officers cared about him even on the note "rookie's first assignment", one of them (maybe marvin himself) even thought about him when things went to shit and scribbled "be glad you're not here, rookie". and yet in the end the day that was supposed to be happy and exciting turned out to be hell incarnate for leon, the starting point of his woes, and all these people were shot by him after becoming zombies
