fuck me i feel like iāve just read the definition of art
I would've not been so upset about the whole Leon simping over Ada issue on RE6 if Capcom had given us at least some resolution to their decade-long cat and mouse game. If you're gonna center the narrative on Aeon, give us *something* new. But we got nothing. Like what was the point. Same old vague bullshit and Ada leaving and Leon being all aDaAA š£ exhausting
I swear to god, sometimes I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
It was resolved.
At this point in the game, Leon is legally dead. Helena gives him the opportunity here to finally escape his hellhole of a life and disappear with Ada.
And he says no. He says no because he realizes, in that moment, that he never really knew Ada at all.
For the entire series, Leon's taken Ada's help and presence for granted, but RE6 makes him realize that he never took the time to wonder why she did that. He assumed it was because they had some kind of special connection, but Simmons is proof that Ada creates "special connections" with whoever's most useful to her at the time.
In the past, her "special connection" was with Wesker, and OG Leon knows this. Now it's Simmons. And he's standing here, at the end of RE6, wondering why she works for those guys and strings them along, only to then turn around and help him when the rubber hits the road.
He asks the question, realizing he doesn't have an answer. He doesn't have an answer, because he doesn't know her.
And Ada has no interest in giving him the answer or being pursued by him, either.
So, in the one singular moment in this entire franchise where Leon and Ada have the chance to finally run away together and be together, they both look at each other and say "no."
That was the point.
The will they/won't they question was answered, and the answer is: they won't.
At the end of the day, their relationship is a professional one. The pretenses of love between them are gone. Their shared arc has reached a conclusion.
That
was the point.
And that is why Ada's been absent from ID, Vendetta, and DI -- and why she was originally planned to be in RE8. Her story with Leon is over. The two of them are now free to pursue independent storylines, even if they do still wind up running into each other again in the future -- they won't be beholden to each other the same way.
man i know every fandom suffers from this problem but i am so sick of people in the RE fandom sometimes. i know iām generalising but if it doesnāt apply to you then you donāt need to feel butthurt.
however, if you are a racist holy shit please feel butthurt šš you do not deserve to be in the public
i know i personally have no reach but if you see this and are not aware, please avoid sourcing your information of luis from his fandom wiki page like eric said and block+report any accounts that are spreading all this vile bs!!!
main tags because this is supr important vvv
I usually do my absolute best to not bring serious topics or ādramaā onto my blog but Jesus Christ this is beyond ridiculous. The amount of extremely obvious and very blatant racism recently that has been targeted towards Luisā character the past couple of days is extremely despicable and makes me sick. Racists donāt belong in this community, let alone this app at all. If anyone wants Iām happy to give a list of people Iāve seen saying just downright abhorrent things in the replies but the majority of them are just random personal blogs so my advice would be to just block and move on
Making rape jokes about people of color is not funny. Making pedophile jokes about people of color is not funny. Calling poc men ādirtyā or saying theyād āsmell badā is not funny. Saying that poc men would prey on young girls is not fucking funny.
Racism towards ANY character should NEVER be tolerated in ANY community, but ESPECIALLY this one.
Edit: oh also, Iāve said this before, but the people who are in charge of Luisā fandom wiki page are Zionists and anti Black Lives Matter. If that tells you anything at all
also cole sprouse basically cosplaying as leon is hilarious to me. as a riverdale hater, (yes, this is my bias) one instagram post was able to transform me into a cole sprouse truther
FUCK YEAH ITāS A WIN FOR US TODAY! maybe not for Leonā¦ oh well!
I'm gonna be using this post to update things with the Damnation novel as I translate it. It will probably take me a day or two to fully translate it since it is a novel and I have a shitton of work to do, but interesting points to far:
seemingly a confirmation that Leon did have a relationship with his mother at some point, seemingly a good one because he talks about how his mother always taught him to be nice to people
