#and bring back Alyson and Waugh please

Alyson Court: Yeah, I always wanted to explore the Clesker aspect.
Kicking off my little Clesker evidence file is none other than Claire Redfield herself, Alyson Court. She blessed us with her lovely voice in the Resident Evil series from 1998 to 2009, and becoming the embodiment of Claire Redfield. Alyson also played memorable roles such as Loonette from "The Big Comfy Couch," Lydia from "Beetlejuice," and finally Jubilee from "X-Man." Many fans came to regard her as the sole Claire over the years, and she is truly missed.  I still want her back.
Anyway, we know Waugh has given his thoughts on the Clesker pairing, and now it's time for Alyson's opinion. If you haven't read that, the link is right here.

Now in the "Residence of Evil" podcast which took place in 2017, Alyson mentions her favorite character.

@ 56:45 in the podcast 
Host 2: "Question 3 from Francis Conway. Who is your favorite character from the entire Resident Evil series? I'm assuming he means someone other than Claire."
AC: "Ok, well.... that's a really tricky one for me to answer. Um.... I have a thing for Wesker."
Hosts 1, 2, and 3: "Oooh, D.C. Douglas?"
AC: "Not proud of that, but I do have a thing for Wesker."
Host 1: "He’s in my top three."
AC: "I loved when, so Code Veronica was my favorite and when we revisited the game. The cast recorded the for what was it, Code Veronica X?"
Host 1: "Yeah"
AC: "Yeah, the director's cut, which came out after. Um, it had the extra stuff with Claire and Wesker, and that was really fun. Cause um, I hadn't gotten to do that in the previous version, and I enjoyed that immensely."

Do ya’ll see something?
Well, in this next interview that occurred in 2012, the question pertained to Alyson's opinion on whether she’d like Claire's story to grow. I wanted to post this as it ties into the next WeskerxClaire statement.
Umbrella Survivor Podcast @38:51

(Warning, the sound quality fades in and out.)
Host 1: "They brought you back as Claire in The Darkside Chronicles and The Mercenary 3d.  Whereas Claire's story was either a rehash of old events or there was no story at all. Which would you prefer: to simply return as Claire in any capacity, or to have her story explored further?"
AC: "You know, as an actor, I always relish new material, so anything that allows me to expand on new material is great. Or what was done previously and go into new territory. I'd like to see something new with her story line, but having said that, I think they've done *inaudible,* and each time we've done something. During the original Resident Evil 2, Code veronica and then coming back to do The Darkside Chronicles. It wasn't the same experience cause there was a different feel with the game, I mean the game has very different game play. So it was quite an interesting performance we did, and that was great, and then doing Operation Raccoon City again was a very different experience. I don't know how many times you can go back and do something different with the same source material. Eventually you will have to move on if you're going to continue with those characters. So I guess, in terms of my own hope, I can continue as Claire. Yes, I would love to see a whole new storyline start for her."
Host 2: “Yeah, I'd like to know, aside from Claire, of course. Who would your favorite character be in the entire franchise?”
AC: (laughs as her inner fangirl mode is activated) “I have a thing for Wesker, I have to admit.”
Host 2: “I think we all do.”
AC: "So when you were talking about the new story line and stuff.  Yeah, there's a big part of me that wishes for a CLAIREX WESKER game. They had some stuff going on in Code Veronica X, and the way it was kind of left hanging, it felt like the two were definitely going to meet up again in the future. So I would like to see that happen.”
Host 3: "As would we all, as would we all."
We as Clesker fans could’ve had a Clesker game, an entire Clesker game for us. We would’ve been fed until the end of time.

Another interview that fuels my vendetta against Capcom, occurred on December 20, 2013, by Scottie Brown. I really liked this one, and I'm happy fans still love Alyson even to this day.
https://youtu.be/32SUVfmqw4A
Beginning @ 32:32, Alyson is asked.......well, we already know.
SB: “So I wanted to ask you, who is your favorite villain from the Resident Evil series and why?”
AC: (fangirl mode activated) “And why? Oh, I don't know if I can properly answer why, in a fulfilling way, I've always had a thing for Wesker. I love Wesker.”
SB: “Yeah, Wesker is awesome.”
AC:”Yeah, um. I don't know why it could be in the original voice, but what Richard Waugh did for Resident Evil 2 (She meant 4) was pretty fantastic. Now D.C. Douglas, it's just like what great guys and it's like how can you not love whatever character they’re voicing? Um yeah, I just keep, I get caught up in the fan fiction stuff and I have this naughty dark side where Claire and Wesker have a thing going on. But you know I ought to keep that to myself.”
SB: “And that would be crazy, because Chris and Wesker hate each other.”
AC: “Yes”
SB: “When they get into a room together, (lol) it's just madness. Could you imagine Chris's reaction, with his big, gigantic muscles pounding and hitting the walls, when he finds out Claire and Wesker might be having a thing? He wouldn't be too happy.”
AC:“No he wouldn't, but that would be an interesting-added dynamic to the storyline. See and then you can give, well imagine the internal conflict for Wesker. If he found himself falling for Claire, and he's reminded that wait "This is Chris Redfield sister, I hate Chris Redfield and YET fond of Claire". There would be so much inner turmoil, it would be wonderful.”
Alyson was truly ahead of her time, and I see a lot of female characters in a gray area, falling for bad guys.
A queen.
The final tidbit of Alsyon-loving Wesker, came from a 2009 anime convention in California. The panel included Roger Craig Smith (Chris), Karen Dryer (Sheva), Paul Mercier (Leon), Liam O'Brian (RE5), and Alyson Court (Claire). Everyone is having a good time, and if I could find a better quality video with the entire length, I'll add it. The panel gets crazy, and the RE actors are asked what's their favorite character and cookie is. Starting with Roger Craig Smith.

@1:41 He drops Wesker, and we can see from Alyson's reaction that was going to be her answer.
But she answers @ 4:09.
AC: “So I like oatmeal cookies, and even though Wesker was originally my choice. I think I like to be a licker or HUNK.”
The next day, the panel is asked a question that I assume is regarding Wesker and how they would kill him or something. Our queen, Alyson, always comes through. @00:21
https://youtu.be/cjSvqHUwHUE
AC: “I was reading some fan fiction where Claire and Wesker actually went off on their own and got a little something, something going on. So you know what, that's fine by me.”
Tumblr media
The fangirl squeals and the random alright is what made the video for me. 
Welp, that's all I can find right now, I'll keep you guys updated if anything new comes up. But I'm posting this to tell you not to be embarrassed, because some people would kill for their favorite to have this spot. Also, too many people are quick to dismiss this pairing, but uplift the one they really want Wesker paired with.
So don't fall for the gaslighting.
Remember, Capcom does listen to fans if people are vocal enough, and they've been dropping major hints.
All credit goes to Alyson and Waugh.
If you guys are reading this, thank you, and may the Most High continue to bless and protect you all.
So can we get some fan art and fanfic please.
*Now I need some sleep, hope you all enjoy*
