unspoken requiem for a river of tears

my ALL CAPCOM cleon acrylic standees have arrived last night! ﾊﾟﾁﾊﾟﾁﾊﾟﾁﾊﾟﾁ

there was this one moment that caught me off-guard during my fight with the scorpion. 😭 please excuse my ugly laugh.

I literally went

today was officially my first day at my new job as a studio artist!! (feeling tired already)

and I think this game is trying to seduce me to be a regular player again cuz I got my guy and his signature weapon in only 30 pulls (50-50).

this was crazy cuz I’d often reach hard pity and lose 50-50 before. anyway, I wasn’t really in the mood to catch up to the main story quests (I stopped at Fontaine) so I went straight to Lohen’s story instead.

there were a number of aspects that changed since I left, and I’m glad there were improvements in the way the narrative was told. more dynamic cuts, more clear, expressive dialogues… Varka even made a unique funny face, which caught me off guard!

lmao it’s so funny to see Diluc’s goofy ass model beside Varka, who definitely has more details in his hair. CAN SOMEONE GIVE HIS NOSE MORE DEFINITION??

I didn’t expect to get hooked, but I’m not gonna lie, Lohen’s story was well done and it only made me like him more!! 🫪🫪🫪 I love me a rather unhinged guy who still manages to be human, and is pretty aware of his limits despite desiring power and control. I know some players want him to be bad, but to me, he occupies a unique spot where he definitely has red flag traits but is still firmly holding onto his sense of identity and sanity.

if he’s a straight out bad guy, it’d be sooo boring to me. this current Lohen is interesting. I like him.

my bestie made a Leon mii on her Tomodachi island after she made me (Aikamii) and my other friends + TXT

her version of Leon is really cute and we immediately gave him the police cap since it was available at the store 🥹🥹 he kinda likes to chase characters around lmao

UPDATE: AIKAMII FELL IN LOVE WITH LEON MII I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS

update (2): Leon Kennedy is making a plea to support Leon Kennedy.

update (3): Aikamii is trying too hard to impress this guy (it worked)

update (4): Aikamii is yearning for the white man's presence (unfortunate). she has now dreamed of them running in the beach sunset. Aikamii....

• starting a new, intimidating but better job in July ✅ • watching the The Amazing Digital Circus finale in theaters ✅ • meeting Yoshitaka Amano (!!) at a fan event ✅ • cosplaying Amamiya Ren with my best friend (Futaba) • (very likely) Code Veronica Remake announcement at SGF ✅ • (very likely) Persona 4 Revival update at the Xbox Showcase ✅ • Control: Resonant in September

guess who finally 100% Leon Must Die Forever! ദ്ദി╥ ᴗ ╥)

overall rating: around 6.5/10.

I kinda hate how RNG-heavy this minigame is. sometimes, it doesn’t matter if you’re skilled—if you’ve got the shittiest luck, your run will be in shambles… kinda.

I thought I wouldn’t be able to complete this because ‘Leon’s Inferno’ was very RNG luck dependent. I almost gave up on it. but I learned this cool alternative strategy (Axeorcist Leon, perfect parry stacks) and got Hellblaze on my last crate so everything went well.
