ACTUAL ☆ GARBAGE

So admittedly this took me a whole month to finish because of work, but I kept seeing a lot of @polarspaz 's Verdugo!Leon AUs and got inspired to finally draw out my own lol. Please excuse the fact that I cannot draw realism/anatomy and haven't done so in a longggg time.

I went with a moth design bc...honestly I just like moths lol

* Ada works/worked for The Connections (presently or at some point)

* The Connections is the Rival Company

*While not explicitly stated, if Zeno is a Wesker clone, is there a chance that the Wesker from RE5 was also a clone and the real one is working from 5he shadows still? (Admittedly this was an ADHD Shower Thought, don't take it seriously)

* Leon's parents had ties to the Connections or Mafia

*Since the world thinks Ada is dead (I'll have to double check that though), she is now semi-retired and lives under a different name. And is married to Leon under said name. (Let me be delusional here, I love Aeon end game ideas lmao)

*Birkin is still alive as a monstrosity lingering in the ruins of NEST somewhere. Probably. May appear in a DLC or something idk.

*Leon finally goes to therapy post RE 9.

Guess who binged Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated?

I love Daphne and Daughtry's "Lionness" made me think of her soooo lol

And I get a little sadder still because insecurities mean I feel a little oopid for being super invested in my own little bubble of headcanons when most of the world has moved on lol (why I don't post as much anymore, I feel ashamed a lil of the hyperfixation depth because its DEEP and if warranted I'd yap for HOURS)

Anyways just some 4 AM musing don't kind me lmao I'll regret this later

Drew Astarion as a furby due to gen chat and my inability to feckin read properly during a point in Neil's stream

No I'm not sorry

(Shots fired: Also, God forbid women aren't "Sweet Purehearted Claire Redfield"* and do Morally Questionable and Evil Things. I love RE but this shit is why I avoid certain sects of fandom.)

* Of which she is not btw. Claire's got her own issues and depending on the lore setting, has done her own fair share of Morally Questionable shit and I love that about her (yes I am a Claire fan, I just can't do Cleon for a variety of reasons (mainly fandom...the fandom portrayal leaves a bad taste in my mouth)

** Also I feel people forget that while Leon has a good heart and is truly a hero, him working for the government isn't??? A good thing??? Like...he was literally FORCED into it and CAN'T LEAVE. He's never getting a chance at a normal life because that right was robbed from him the moment he escape Raccoon. Worse yet, the bargaining chip used to secure his agreement? Sherry. How the hell was he supposed to say no? (Sherry sadly gets put in the exact same position years later, to escape life as bssically a test subject for the government). Neither of them had a chance. And he's unhappy. He's tired. He's burnt out. He's getting old. But he keeps going because the need to help others outweighs the cost. It's all he has at this point.

*** Also Also, hilariously enough, I hate Cleon but I ADORE Claiada alongside Aeon and even poly Claire/Ada/Leon where Leon and Claire are strictly platonic but both romancing Ada lmao

So yeah, I have a lil self-indulgent future verse for BG3 where the Spawn end up etching out a niche little vampire society that eventually expands to proper integrating vampire's into modern Fae'Run Society, and Dalyria ends up a happily married doctor with her own family, clinic and home.

Her husband, Victor, is a kinda(?) Dhampir(?) who adores her deeply and worships the ground she walks on, treats her like a Queen. Hes soft-spoken, gentle and patient. Works as a therapist.

He uh... also happens to be my Tav's nephew. Her brother, Remus's, kid. Thus sharing the family "Resident Evil Esc Monster Mutant" genes. Blind, he uses echolocation in his Monster form and long whiskers to navigate.

(And Cazador's son, tho he's never met him. And would never want to.)
