I probably should've made this a while ago, but I didn't really think about it until now. Regardless, here's a masterpost of links for translations as well as some FAQ.

RE9 INFO:

Looking for leaks? Check this post. Please note all spoilers for RE9 will be tagged us such-- I'm using the tag 're9 spoilers' specifically. The info will also be labeled spoilers in big letters at the top and the info itself will be under the read more cut, meaning you aren't going to see it unless you want to.

If you've sent an ask that contained information that could potentially lead to elements of the game being spoiled for others PRIOR TO FEB 27TH, I decided to answer your ask in a mega doc for the protection of others. There isn't really a way for me to censor the info since your ask will contain spoilers and that's displayed before my response, so until the game releases, you can either DM me your ask or check this mega thread for a response!

My Archive:

Looking for an analysis or meta post? Check this link! I've started making an archive of links to all my long posts so that they are easier to find. Please note this is a work-in-progress since I'm doing this retroactively. Not all of my posts have been archived yet, but I'm working on it and will update the document accordingly <3

My Translations:

All of my translations are tagged with "resi translation" on the blog so if you're looking for something specific, let's say an interview for example, you should be able to find it under there. Other than that, here are the translations for the different novels and such I've done.

Novelizations (in English):

Damnation

Vendetta

Biohazard 4 **note that this was written for the OG4 and is likely not canon as a result

Angela's Diary

Resident Evil: The Book **note that this one sorta falls into a gray space with canon; it's older however nothing seems to conflict with it and RE2 has seemingly made references to it

FAQ:

Are the novelizations canon? Yes! Each CGI movie has it's own supplemental material released for it. Degeneration has Angela's Diary, both Vendetta and Damnation got a novelization, Death Island has a manga, and Infinite Darkness has a prequel comic. Note** generally in the fandom, a lot of older fans will refer to the SD Perry novels as "the novels" which causes a lot of confusion with the canon novelizations-- the SD Perry novels are not canon.

How can I watch the CGI movies? If they are not available on a streaming service you have, DM me and I can help you find them.

Where did you find the novelizations? I bought and imported them from Japan through various websites, and paid more money than someone should ever have to pay for a paperback novel for them, courtesy of Capcom and their refusal to make things available for the series outside of Japan lol.

Where can I find the Infinite Darkness comic? You can purchase all of the currently available ones from Midtown Comics. If purchasing them is not an option for you, DM me : )

Was Leon actually in STRATCOM? It's true, but buried in some obscure lore. Bruce's profile in Survivor states that he's part of a "secret military organization" run by STRATCOM that fights bioterrorism. Sound familiar? The AUPIT, which Leon was a part of as confirmed by Darkside Chronicles, was also described as a "secret military organization" prior to the official confirmation of it's name in DSC. As such, we know it's the same organization.

Asks:

I don't have a lot of strict rules for asks. My only request is that you do not send in asks about the ship wars in the fandom. Generally speaking, I probably won't answer it because I like to keep this blog as a positive space and I want to talk more about the ships I enjoy rather than the ones I dislike. I also want to clarify that I hc Leon as gay and only ship him with men, so if you send me an ask about headcanons for a straight ship, I probably won't answer it. No offense, ship what you want to ship of course, but I... wouldn't really have any input on your ship haha.

Since this apparently needs to be disclosed: don't be a fucking asshole. If you come into my inbox and spew bullshit, you're getting blocked. Disrespectfully, not reading all that, and no one else needs to see your hate either, so I'm not even going to grace it with a response.

And as always, if you have questions about the series lore, the characters, headcanons, something someone mentioned on a Pinterest posts comments section that you saw, etc. feel free to ask! There are no dumb questions-- everyone has to start somewhere.

Is NSFW allowed? Yes, so long as you add something like //NSFW at the top that way I can tag it accordingly and those who do not want to see NSFW content can scroll past the post without having to read the ask.

Can I send in headcanons/ask for headcanons? Yes! I love hearing about others headcanons and I have many of my own.

TW// Discuss of SA

I feel it was Capcom's way of toeing the line of depicting SA without explicitly showing SA on screen. Several Capcom IPs, including RE, delve into some pretty dark topics and this isn't the first time something like this has been presented. But with that said, there are also some limitations to what they seem "able" to depict-- for instance, Cathy's kids in VD were originally meant to be much younger, but they were told they couldn't depict the kids like that (due to the death & violence) so the director had to argue with them to show the kids.

So with that in mind, I do think that was the line they were toeing with Rebecca and Glenn. It's very creepy even in the movie, more so with the additions from the novel, and it seems likely that Glenn would've SAed her-- between his comment & the fact that he was trying to force her to marry him, I have no doubt that's what he would've done. It certainly makes Glenn's interactions with Leon creepy as well given how he strokes Leon's cheeks with his claws later on.

I don't think it was necessarily meant to be shocked value specifically, rather an attempt at exploring a dark topic without explicitly depicting said topic. The do the same in DMC, for example. There have been quite a few instances in which Dante is sexually assaulted or harassed, but they never depict the r*pe itself-- we hear the comments, we read Dante waking up naked & arguing with the woman who was trying to coerced him into having sex with her and its implied she raped him while he was unconscious, but they never depict that itself.
