Okay, and with this, I am officially done spamming about this scene.
Just some Leon smiling at and being comforted by Ashley's touch.
And some forbidden handholding, because Capcom said it wasn't allowed. All of Capcom. Every single dev at Division 1 didn't want them holding hands, including the director whose idea it was, the actors who mocapped it, and the animators who rendered it up in the game.

Dude what if it’s just all a thing to keep the parents of the missing kids sane kinda like paper kingdoms or whatever that album was
Maybe they could do something like the parents don’t have closure or whatever and to cope with the death of their kids they come up with that story

I saw the ask you answered about fashion and essentially being bullied out of it and against it and I just
This is so very true, and I don't know that I ever even realized until I read what you wrote. I always just thought I'd decided to gravitate towards what most consider 'lazy' and 'slouchy' garb because it's comfortable, that I never put in a lot of effort (sometimes even as a teenager and in my early 20s) because I convinced myself none of it mattered. And it doesn't, so long as I'm comfortable in what I wear, I get that, I do. But there are times when I see someone wearing something super cute and I'm like "I want that."
But every time that happens, there's this voice in my head telling me it's pointless. I'd never pull it off so why try? People will look at me weird, judge me for attempting to wear something so completely unlike myself, something that might not completely suit who they've come to view me as. Strangers will critique and pass their own judgement, and that's a terrifying thing. And the answer is always 'yeah, right, exactly that.' And that's so incredibly unfair, especially since I know there are so many people out there with this exact same mentality.
I think how you're raised and what you experience as the world shapes itself around you as you grow plays a huge part in this. If you're told as a child not to wear something because you don't have the body for it, no matter if they're trying to do it out of kindness, it implants something in you that is difficult to ever leave behind. If you're bullied for you clothing choices by peers, it puts a bad taste in your mouth for ever trying again. If you don't look like the models on the runways or the photoshopped celebrities in the magazines, you're failing, don't bother.
Jeans and tshirts and comfortable, less-stylish shoes are a choice, and they are a phenomenal one. But at some point, for some people, it becomes less of a choice and more of something forced into existence through a lifetime of disappointed outlooks and half-muttered rejections. No one should feel like that.
And that's all I'll say on the matter. I know you're busy. You don't have to answer this at all, I promise you don't. I also realize that doing this on anon sort of defeat the point of what you said, and maybe I shouldn't have done it like this, but that's the fear still screaming. So here I am, rambling nonsense in your inbox because it was on my mind.
All the love, Dr Grey. <3
no we are absolutely going to answer this because you're so right.
this right here: "Jeans and tshirts and comfortable, less-stylish shoes are a choice, and they are a phenomenal one. But at some point, for some people, it becomes less of a choice and more of something forced into existence through a lifetime of disappointed outlooks and half-muttered rejections."
yes. (also, do you write fic? i feel like you're a mutual of mine who was nervous and sent it to me on anon??? I PROMISE IM NOT SCARY!)
more babble below the cut
the voice in your head saying "you can't pull something off" or "that wont look good on me" is so real. and its so hard to fight against and ignore and a million other things. and that voice is so directly tied to fashion. and I think that's often why people resort to jeans and t-shirts and sneakers because they're TIMELESS and no one is going to take issue with it! no one is going to tell you X doesn't look good on you or you can't pull X off because its jeans and a t-shirt and nothing matters!
and like, i also have these thoughts. but like...and this is also one of the only pieces of advice I ever have to offer-- do it anyway.
just do it anyway. even if its not perfect. even if you're unsure if you can pull something off (going to leave the "it doesn't look good on me" out of here because fashion isn't about what looks good on a specific body or certain person, its about creativity and expression), or unsure if you'll feel good in it, do it anyway. that's the only way you know.
i recently made an executive decision to only wear suits/tailoring to weddings after years of feeling uncomfortable in jumpsuits and before than dresses. and i went to one in june--had a gorgeous emerald green suit set, black top underneath, ready to go-- and was feeling so uncertain if i was going to be able to pull it off. if the guests were going to judge me for showing up in a suit. if it wasn't going to be enough.
but i did it anyway. and it paid off. because I was comfortable the whole night. i got loads of compliments. and notably a lot of other guests said "oh I could never pull this off, but you can"
BET.
bet.
i get in trouble a lot for saying this IRL, but like...honestly, nothing matters. nothing matters. wear the cute outfit you see on someone else. buy the cute heels and wear them to the grocery store on a Wednesday morning. put on a red lip to drink coffee.
wear trousers instead of a skirt. wear a suit to a wedding. it is so hard to shake the voice in your head. i spent years hearing one that said No One is Ever Going to Take You Seriously if You Dress Like That. and spent years wearing boring ass shit (i wish i still had some of my blouses from then back in the day because my fucking god.) and shit that didn't feel like me.
and like..
idk.
its so much better to Do You.

Thats interesting that they named Brer Fox, Honest John, in one dub? Was the intention to make Brer Fox the same as the Fox in Pinocchio?
THAT'S EXACTLY WHY IT BOTHERS ME SO MUCH AHSJAGS !! Bc I honestly hate the fox from Pinocchio and hate that they were given the same name. Esp when Br'er Fox is already way less known than him >.>
But no, in the dubs he's never refered to as Honest John. His name was adapted to Comrade Fox / Fox / Brother Fox / Mister Fox in the movies. It was only in the comics and further material that he was renamed Honest John. Br'er Rabbit's name also changed to Quincas Rabbit and Br'er Bear's name was Big John in the comics.
Idt they tried to imply they were the same character, I think it was either a coincidence or homage of some sort, who knows. I highly doubt the people translating the comics even knew who Br'er Fox or what Song of the south was, tbh. That movie was never big here (even less so, i mean)
This is smth that most english speakers will never really see in their media, since english is usually the default. Adapting and dubbing over material to a different language is a hella MESSY process, and sometimes we as the public end up confused. Sometimes you end up with bad translations, bad adaptations, or several different studios that dub/adapt the same characters in different ways. Which is why he doesn't even have a canon name in Brazil, the way you call him will depend on which dub you used to watch.
He doesn't even have a canon gender in some places. Latin languages are gendered, and most animals are male. However, Fox (Raposa) is a female word by default. So in a few dubs in Italy he's actually changed to a female to make the translation easier.
So, yep, it was just a messy process and dumb decisions. Im still mad about it tho. I usually just call him Br'er Fox anyway, but if you ask me then his 'canon' name here is just Raposa (Fox) bc thats the dub i gew up with
