#all i know is Leon developed a drinking problem somewhere down the line and I can't even blame him

[mishkakagehishka]

But i keep thinking ab how sad it all is like. To my knowledge, Leon becomes a cop bc of the usual fictional motivation of "the law couldn't help my family so i'll be the law that helps" or whatevs and then he was told to stay away from Raccoon City (bc yknow), where he was supposed to start work after absolutely excelling in the academy, but he goes there anyway (hungover, after his gf broke up with him. bc they thought the rest of it wasn't enough for his tragic backstory ig). And then the . Everything. Branagh still forces him to prioritise himself, he gets to what was going to be his desk (sobbing) and there's a note like "first task for our new rookie!! Get to know your colleagues :) the passcode for our desks are the first letters of our names! Teehee!! This guy might not give you a straight answer wink wonk" and you have to figure it out via nameplates and shit because you saw Elliot's guts fall out, and one of them is a zombie and Branagh is the only one actually "alive" out of those six he had to "get to know" as his first task. And the "welcome Leon" banner. OTZ

And then after all that. After all that, when he and Claire and Sherry manage. And you think "oh lovely happy ending, therapy and they can move on" nope. Dude gets literally threatened by the US government to become a special agent. And then RE4 happens. Like ??!?!?!?!??!?!!?

#mind you that's ALL the lore i know bc i dk what happens after. like. re4. #as i said i'm vaguely aware of re5 but i've never seen anything ab it #all i know is Leon developed a drinking problem somewhere down the line and I can't even blame him #and i'm so in-between ab it bc i don't like media that spans THIS much time bc it kinda loses its charm to me #so for me that. 90s and 00s RE is just fine #anyway. in my head after RE2 Leon and Claire adopt Sherry and live happily ever after etc etc #i just think it'd be funny for a 21yo and a 19yo to explain how they have a 12yo daughter. #ALSO CLAIRE IS 19 HERE !??!?!?!?!? SHE'S MY AGE ?!?!?!?!?!???!!??!?!?!?!??!?!?@? #anyway. sorry for loving leon and the first re games i am. normal ab them. dw about it.
