listens to heavy music
— like classical music, metal and hardcore have strong rhythm. it helps brain stay in control. “controlled chaos”. it keeps his emotions quiet.
— metal songs often talk about abstract things. it reminds him of sister.
— he has no favorite band. he just listens to the genre. what he finds — he plays.
german
— it is about culture: strict rules, politeness, minimalism. dark, cold, clean style.
— but he didn’t fully grow up with german culture. wesker and spencer raised him. still, some habits stayed.
his image was built by spencer (almost canon?)
— the “wesker” image was made by many people to look perfect: polite, cold, noble. spencer put the most work into it. he wanted his “future superhumans” to look like him.
— albert accepted this image and often used it. the mysterious, distant-man look.
reads nietzsche
— übermensch, power, strong vs weak, life as a cycle. these ideas are close to him.
— nietzsche shapes albert like kafka shapes his sister.
wears umbrellas
— an aesthetic detail. a symbol of “umbrella”. another way to hide from the world, like sunglasses.
— for albert, it is just for style. no real use.
smoking as rebellion
— as a teen, he learned that smoking was his choice. they could force him to study, to be polite, to hide emotions — but smoking was his.
— it does not hurt his lungs. it stayed as a habit.
— a small reminder that even he has human weaknesses.
stalking
— he can’t show real care, so he learns everything about partner before they even meet. for albert, it is strategy and control. maybe a little romantic.
— leon doesn’t laugh at jokes about hidden cameras in his apartment. even if it was a joke. (hehen’t)
“orphan habits”
— some habits never go away: he eats fast, hides “important” things, sleeps with his back to the wall and a gun under the pillow. leon is still very afraid of being alone, so he is almost always in touch with someone.
— sometimes he sends a weird text at 3am, just check everyone is still alive (and yes, sometimes to get reply).
listens to pop music with female vocals
— ‘girls’ songs for girls help his head relax. the beats make him want to dance and imagine himself in the middle of a party.
— he doesn’t always listen to the lyrics. he just likes britney spears or sabrina carpenter.
hypersexuality as trauma
— he always needs someone close. it is not really about feelings or desire anymore. it is about the need to feel wanted and needed.
— in bed, being pressed into the mattress, this need became… very easy to satisfy.
very touch-starved
— he always feels like he is falling apart and freezing. he tries to stay close to people: stand a bit closer, lean in, touch shoulders.
— wesker is surprisingly warm for leon’s cold hands and feet. he, of course, uses that.
suicide attempts
— he never told anyone about his attempts. but the thoughts are always there.
— wesker says nothing, but he can guess from leon’s lowered eyes. this time… he stays silent. some things must stay personal.
evening walks with headphones
— sometimes it is romantic and lonely, sometimes it is avoiding people, sometimes it is just walking with no real meaning.
— he enjoys the music and the control of his breathing. on some days, he even invites someone to walk together through the evening or night city.
reads marvel comics. favorite character — clint barton
— a childhood habit. the only thing his father ever gave him (besides trauma) was a hawkeye comic.
— he read it again and again and wanted to be as cool as clint.
leon never drives, wesker hates city traffic
— leon is a disaster behind the wheel. he can cause danger just by looking at a car. wesker drives carefully, but… other drivers make him think that maybe genocide is the answer.
— so wesker always drives, teeth clenched in city traffic, while leon sleeps next to him.
wesker’s wardrobe is shared
— wesker has a shirt for every life situation: funerals, betrayal, dramatic villain speeches. same with the pants.
— leon always leaves a note on the closet door if he takes something for a party or a very important meeting with the president.
— wesker just hopes leon knows how to pin clothes nicely and not “walk like in a sack”.
they hate holidays
— both leon and wesker do not understand why people must meet on a “special” calendar day just because it is tradition.
— leon is ready for alcohol meetings on any day.
— wesker calls any day a holiday when people forget about him.
“who makes the most ironic joke”
— leon always adds humor to hopeless situations. unexpectedly, wesker starts to mirror that. now their talks sound like a battle of failed comedians. very bad comedians.
— wesker hates leon’s stupid dirty jokes. leon hates wesker’s cold cruel sarcasm. no one ever laughs at the other’s jokes.
“i’m not hungry”
— the most common phrase about dinner or snacks. but wesker noticed: after “i’m not hungry” leon always eats half of the food.
— wesker does the same — for revenge or just by habit, it does not matter anymore.
— leon still can’t forgive that after “im not hungry” wesker ate all the fries and didn’t share (u ARE a monster wesker).
automatic doors
— some unknown force always closes the doors right in front of wesker — and always next to leon.
— wesker says: “system error.” leon copies: “karma!”not stone faces
— no one can explain it, but they can’t keep a serious face near each other.
— wesker’s eyebrow twitches. leon starts to smile like an idiot.
— they would be terrible spies.
