âThe LEGO Movie was my favorite movie of 2014, but it strikes me that the main character was male, because I feel like in our current culture, he HAD to be. The whole point of Emmett is that heâs the most boring average person in the world. Itâs impossible to imagine a female character playing that role, because according to our pop culture, if sheâs female sheâs already SOMEthing, because sheâs not male. The baseline is male. The average person is male. You can see this all over but itâs weirdly prevalent in childrenâs entertainment. Why are almost all of the muppets dudes, except for Miss Piggy, whoâs a parody of femininity? Why do all of the Despicable Me minions, genderless blobs, have boy names? I love the story (which I read on Wikipedia) that when the director of The Brave Little Toaster cast a woman to play the toaster, one of the guys on the crew was so mad he stormed out of the room. Because he thought the toaster was a man. A TOASTER. The character is a toaster. I try to think about that when writing new charactersâ is there anything inherently gendered about what this character is doing? Or is it a toaster?â
â Bojack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg commenting on how weird gendered defaults in entertainment are, and why we should think twice about them. Excerpted from this longer original post.

Thoughts on Zeno learning to sew. Starting with the basics, minor repairs. He probably already knows how to remove blood and other bio hazards from his clothes, or maybe he has to learn? I doubt he wants to lose his clothes, decapitation stains be damned, and leon strikes me as the type to do post-mission laundry via the garbage lol
But yes, zeno taking the time to learn the skill of mending. Maybe hes still clumsy, but he can proudly say he did it himself!
The buns took one nibble and are now attempting to integrate oatmeal cookies into their society as currency. It's not working because they keep eating them. đȘ I've been taught how to sew but it didn't stick. my fine motor skills have some funky medical stuff going on with 'em. ZENO, on the other hand... đȘĄ
Leon is absolutely the type who does post-mission laundry via the garbage chute unless it's something he's emotionally attached to, like a good jacket, lol. It's actually a point in the fic that he brings kits with new outfits on missions for when whatever he's packed gets ruined. The D.S.O has a laundry & dry cleaning service that specialise in biohazard cleanup. When you're covered in infected gore, I don't think you're allowed to just chuck your shit in the washing machine with a lil plop of detergent and call it a day.
I don't think The Connections ever gave Zeno the autonomy of even owning his own clothes, let alone being allowed to clean them. It's something he'd be very interested in, the idea of being allowed to take care of his own clothes. When they're not on missions, laundry CAN be done like normal. I think Leon shows him how the washing machine works and it becomes one of Zeno's Chores. Laundry is a new and fascinating concept. It makes him feel useful and accomplished. These things are clean and fresh because he made them so. He doesn't have to do it, he has the CHOICE of doing it, and he thrives in that difference. Leon tries to offer to take turns ONCE and Zeno looks so offended that he never asks again. Let him have this. It's some kind of weird little enrichment routine for him. He reads all the labels and separates colours. The clothes have never been treated better and Leon's laundry room smells like cigarette smoke now. The first time Leon offers to let him buy whatever detergent he wants to try breaks his brain a little. He didn't know there were options.
But back to SEWING! oh man. Being able to repair something? Restoring its use? The very concept that broken things can be mended instead of being thrown away? Very. Very appealing to Zeno. He'd be determined to learn. Leon probably gives him some of his old ripped clothing to practise on (Licker tongues are a bitch, what can he say?) and lets him go nuts. His first attempts are atrocious and Leon's absolutely useless for once, but he persists. He gets better. He discovers the joys of patches and personalised embroidery. His at-home clothes accumulate their own customisations. He's so very fond of silver accents and subtle punk goth aesthetics. He's absolutely the kind of fucking loser who'd spend 78 hours embroidering an obscure mythology icon onto one of his favourite black sweaters. Just a small patch where a breast pocket might go, but packed full of symbolisms and meanings that he'll happily start yapping about like a total theatre kid if you ask the right questions. When he's gotten good at it, Leon notices he's getting pretty good at this actually, and asks him if he can sow some extra pockets and straps onto some of his work clothes as a favour. Zeno is almost shy about doing it but absolutely fucking glows when Leon thanks him and puts the extra inventory space to good use.
When Emily needs her school uniform sown in the annoying and unexpected ways school uniforms ALWAYS need to be sown, and Grace is in a panic about it, Leon knows exactly what to do: toss it at Zeno and promise him a shiny trinket in his future if he does a good job.
There were nametag labels provided. He didn't have to parse the school's dress code with the scrutiny of a man who's skilled at finding institutional loopholes, just like he didn't have to embroider EMILY ASHCROFT on the back and add adorable little black cat accents that definitely took days because he knows it's her obsession of the month and she's been yapping in Grace's ear about adopting a black cat ever since finding out some people consider them bad luck charms. He's just showing off at this point, really.
Emily adores it. Grace is overflowing with gratitude. Zeno is so so smug. Leok buys him that dramatic-ass silver brooch of a crow eating a snake that he knows he's been eyeballing longingly ever since it popped up in the antique shop display. Everyone wins.
Alternative to the ending of Lost in Nightmares where instead of Jill falling out the window, it's Chris. While Albert was choking him by the window, Chris managed to get enough leverage to jerk them both back, dragging Albert off of his feet in a direction he wasn't prepared for. Chris was expecting to just knock Albert off of his root while giving himself enough leverage to shake Albert's grip, except it didn't work that way. He feels the impact of the glass against his back, hears it shatter, feels it cut into his flesh, sees the sky above him and Albert staring back at him in alarm and confusion.
Chris expects them both to die. In those few brief seconds of realization, he becomes content with this outcome. He's always been prone to self-sacrifice for the sake of others. Jill is safe. He got rid of a major threat in the world. He's made peace with his fate. His only hope is that Claire understands, forgives him and moves on with her life knowing her brother did this to keep the rest of the world safe from one more threat.
Albert sees the ground careening towards them. The cliffside rushing past them. A jagged piece of rock catches Chris on the way down, his body jerks from the impact. Albert instinctively wraps his arms around Chris, pulling him closer to his chest to try to protect as much of his former best man as he can, but there isn't enough time and Chris is a very big man.
They hit the water below. The impact is jarring. The sea is ice cold. Even Albert struggles to keep the air in his lungs. Chris isn't moving when he breaches the surface. At first he's not breathing. Albert tried to breathe air into his lungs to vacate any fluid that might have been forced in there from the impact. He has a pulse still but it's weak.
All of Albert's earlier anger and desire to make Chris hurt, to kill him, and see him gone from this world vanishes when the very real possibility that that is about to happen hits him as hard as the frigid sea. He swims them both to safety through the crashing waves and powerful currents. It takes all of his impressive power as a bioweapon to wade through the surf without being washed back out to sea. He gets Chris to life support systems as quickly as possible and reality sets in. He's in critical condition. While Albert's body could survive the worst of that fall entirely on its own, Chris was lucky just to survive in this condition.
He takes Chris back to his lab with him, introduces him to the life support pods in the lab and monitors his condition closely for the next few months. Slowly, he begins to recover but it's not enough. He's in a medically induced coma for so long.
Excella sees the opportunity and offers up her P-30 experiment with the promise of fortifying Chris' body and helping improve his recovery rate. With the addition of having total control over the subject. Albert is reluctant at first. This is Christopher. His best man. He will pull through. He's always been stubborn like that.
But then a week goes by. Chris' condition doesn't seem to be changing, and perhaps, there is even a set back where he gets worse. His body rejects one of the experimental medications and he has a seizure. His condition worsens. Albert sees few options and finally agrees to run a small test trial.
The P-30 doesn't seem to work at first. The first injection is small. Just a test run. It takes a few days to notice any real improvement. His heart rate elevates. His breathing is stronger. His immune system isn't rejecting it so they try a larger dose.
His old trauma injuries improve. He's stable enough to breathe on his own after a few more days of regular doses. Before pulling him out of the coma, they decide to implant whole injector directly to his body to carefully manage and perform regular dosages of the serum. A couple days later he wakes from his coma.
Albert notices Chris seems dazed for a long time. He doesn't seem very aware of his surroundings. Whether this is the result of head trauma from the impact into the ocean or a side effect of the P-30 is hard to say. He obeys Albert's every whim and direction. It's simple things, little things as Albert coaches him through the actions of physical therapy to get his body back into functioning order. He walks Chris through the motions to rebuilding those muscles and testing his hand-eye coordination.
Excella insists they have lab techs and researchers that can see to this themselves. Albert sharply corrects that Chris is not to be touched by ANYBODY without his permission. He will personally see to his former best man's training himself.
This extends to other forms of caring for Chris, including feed, bathing and dressing him. After a few weeks, Chris starts to move more freely on his own. He follows Albert around the facility, he watches over all of his activities and all Albert asks of him is to occasionally direct Chris to sit at his side or in his lap, or rest his head on Albert's knee while he strokes Chris' hair. The companionship is minimal without that old Chris energy back, but Albert makes due. He hopes that the old Chris will come back to him one day. For now, he has him by his side like an obedient pet, and that brings some comfort because at least he isn't dead.
He's forced to face these conflicted feelings again like he has back in Spencer Mansion. The feeling of fear and trepidation at the prospect of killing Chris. Of seeing true (fatal) harm befall him. Up until this point, every encounter between them felt like a spar in the training room. Albert getting the upper hand on him only for Chris to shock and impress him with a wild surprise. It felt familiar. He looked forward to it. He enjoyed it. Running those encounters over and over in his head afterwards with a sense of pride and amusement.
Now he only feels guilty. He's partially responsible for Chris' near death. He may never get his old best man back at this rate, and all he has to show for it is a silent obedient little puppet. He has nobody to blame for that but himself, and he's frustrated. Albert tries his best to bring the old Chris back. He draws on everything he knows about Chris from their STARS days to try to jog his memories from cheesy films to comfort foods. Anything he can think of that he recalled Chris enjoying back then. Even if it means making the most god awful cholesterol destroying cheeseburger abomination smothered in more cheese sauce and bacon than it has any right to be, he will bite the bullet and make it happen. All just to see the light come back into Chris' eyes again. To hear his voice, even if it's in cursing him, and see that cheeky smile flash at him one more time.
To Chris' credit, he's been back and aware this entire time, he's just given up. He feels like he's lost the fight. And this is only worsened by the conflict he feels when his first moments of consciousness are met with Albert being caring and doting on him. He feels like he died and this is the afterlife he was faced with. A part of him feels hollowed out inside. Maybe it's the early test trials of the P-30 affecting his brain chemistry making him feel depressed (when he already had a lot of trauma and emotional baggage tacked on top of that), but Chris has opted to remain silent. To observe Albert's behavior. To watch him devote all of his time and attention to caring for Chris (which leaves no time for evil schemes and bioweapon development).
The companionship feels nice though. Albert even lets Chris cuddle him, which is a weird realization to be faced with when he hasn't thought about wanting to do that since his early years in STARS. The hair petting is nice too. Chris feels numb inside more often than not but slowly, as Albert tries to "jog his memory", Chris rediscovers the little pleasures that used to make him happy. The little things he hasn't had a chance to indulge in or appreciate since the Spencer Mansion Incident and Raccoon City.
It occurs to him that he hasn't been able to live life outside of fighting bioterror since he lost his team. There was no room for indulgences. No space for the little moments of fun and stress relief. He didn't allow himself that and now he was given that chance for the first time in seven years, and it's with Albert of all people.
Both men learn to rediscover themselves, Albert finding that the life he yearned for so desperately was the one he had back in STARS, and likewise for Chris, as STARS was the last time he actually felt like a human being.
Albert is caught between a rock and a hard place. This revelation comes about not long after he's in the process of rehabilitating Chris.
Excella isn't happy that all of Albert's time and attention has been focusing on Chris instead of the Uroboros project. She's not pleased. She pays generously for his time and his work, and yet she's not received any productive results in months since Albert brought Chris back to the lab.
Since he's formally apart of the P-30 project, she sets an ultimatum before Albert.
Chris is formally apart of the P-30 project which makes him officially Tricell property which means she can do with him whatever she pleases. Which means she can also have him transported to another lab to continue the research on P-30 if this is becoming too much of a distraction for Albert.
If Albert doesn't want that, then his other option is to remove the P-30 from Chris (which his body is still relying on to remain stable and rebuild itself after the traumatic injuries it went through) and return him to the pod indefinitely where he will remain on life support like many other subjects in stasis waiting to be assigned to experiments/research teams or disposed of.
Albert is faced with a hard decision. He is aware that his research and his actions hinder entirely on Excella and Tricell backing him. He can't take care of Chris without it, and he can't continue his research without it, and he certainly can't risk Excella blacklisting him from this field if he just up and leaves with Chris. His employment opportunities would be slim to none. But he also doesn't want to keep feeding into her games either.
This is Spencer Mansion all over again for him. He's being forced to face an ultimatum where he has to choose his freedom (but sacrifice something/someone he loves to do it) or stay under her control and lose both their freedom in the process. Albert refuses to make that mistake again, and while quietly discussing this with Chris, speaking these words aloud without expecting Chris to respond cause at this point he never does. Albert explains that he refuses to repeat Spencer Mansion again. He refuses to make that sacrifice again because he regrets it. Even now. He thought what he was doing was right, but he is faced with the reality that what he wanted he already had, and he gave it all up to escape Umbrella.
In his quiet grief, Chris steps closer to where Albert is seated in his office chair and wraps his arms around Albert's shoulders to draw him into a hug. Chris still doesn't speak. His expression is void of any real spark, but there is purposeful comfort in the way Chris moves and holds him. Instinctively, just like the old Chris he remembers. The good friend that would always have his back back in the RPD.
Albert relents in Chris' embrace and decides to go along with Excella's whims. Just enough to scrape by and show some results. Much of which he's sending discreetly to Alex to help her pursuit of her own cure for her condition. For now Excella is satisfied but still upset she has to share Albert with a braindead puppy.
Bonus (cracky) scene:
Albert: *having a moment*
Chris: *walking up to hug his shoulders and draw Albert's face against his chest, but accidentally squishing it into his beefy bosom*
Albert: "If this is supposed to make me feel better.....it's working remarkably well, Christopher."

the difference between the way wesker treats jill vs chris in re1 is really interesting to me.
to start it off, my brain immediately goes to the second time you meet him and the fact that wesker smiles when chris appears and does Not smile when jill appears ⊠a small detail but i always thought it was pretty cute tbh. and interesting if you overthink things like i do
also the way he talks to them in these scenes just feel really different?? i guess digging into how lines are said probably isnt the most Concrete evidence for anything but what is the point of existing if you cant dig into things. voice acting exists for a reason
like. âchris⊠(pause) youâre aliveâ vs âjill. so youâre safe.â ??????????????? listen to the way he says the line to jill and its so weirdly blunt đ he sounds relieved when he talks to chris (whether that is a front or not. You decide.) but when talking to jill he lwk sounds disappointed. or just like. really dry. like he doesn't care at all and doesnât bother to hide it
and then just bringing up the og re1 because. yeah. iâve gotta. despite the bad voice acting. he sounds happy to see chris and then sounds genuinely Disgusted to see jill itâs actual comedy LMFAAOOO⊠and even if we say its a front. that shows that he cares about what chris thinks of him in comparison to what jill thinks of him. For Some ReasonâŠ.
the third meeting just straight up doesnât exist in jillâs playthrough which makes sense. i just wanna briefly mention it because it Is an extra mini cutscene that chris has revolving wesker.
alright. the betrayal scene. there is genuinely so much to talk about here that i am baffled. i donât know where to start tbh
with jillâs solo cutscene, when she enters the room, wesker doesnt even comment on her specifically. he just shit talks barry. when chris enters the room bro has the irresistible urge to say that chris makes him proud no matter if hes solo or not like okay
wesker was genuinely about to shoot jill before barry shot him. and then lets compare that to ⊠wesker showing off his science project ??
something i noticed. âi donât think you want to die just yet, i have something thats of some interest to youâ said to chris is kind of an interesting line to me. like yes iâm probably digging too deep but hear me out. the way itâs said kinda makes me think wesker had expected chris to see the tyrant and be like⊠Damn⊠Holy shit⊠You were right wesker this is Amazing⊠or at least understand his point of view. but Obviously. chris did not.
i really do think that wesker wanted chris to join him. we donât know much about their relationship pre-re1, but we do know that chris typically didnât have a good relationship with authority figures, and yet he seems to be on pretty good terms with wesker. what made wesker different ??Â
the scene where wesker âdiesâ, chris instinctively runs forward and calls his name before stopping himself. wesker literally killed all of chrisâs friends, betrayed STARS, and just shot rebecca point blank in front of him. and yet chris runs forward as if he wanted to save him.Â
yeah you can call that instinct or whatever but if that were me iâd be CHEEEERINGGGGG like are you fr?? shooting rebecca should mean instant death for anyone. okay nah fr though. itâs somewhat heartbreaking that chris still showed visible concern for wesker despite everything that had happened between them. it makes me think that they were previously close in some way.
also. jill does NOT run towards wesker or even say his name in surprise as he gets impaled. she just stands there. which. yeah. completely valid of her to do that. but like it shows that she did not gaf about wesker after what he did in comparison to chris.Â
the fact that wesker only helps chris is interesting too. yes theres gameplay reasons. chris doesnt have barry. jill has barry. but also we arent analyzing the gameplay now are we. theres obvious lore implications to the fact they chose wesker to be the one helping instead of rebecca. yes rebecca doesnt share the exact same role as barry but you get what i mean??
like. imagine wesker taking his time to fix the fucking doorknob are you kidding?? hello?? literally why did he do that. he couldâve just left the bullets but no. âi also fixed the doorknob đâ WHY DID YOU DO THAT ???? ill be so fr the fact that he leaves bullets can be more easily passed off. he wants chris to be able to fight back and show off his strengths yaknow. but FIXING THE DOORKNOB??? yeah okay. let me make this more convenient for you for no reason at all.Â
i genuinely cant think of a reason heâd do that other than him just genuinely wanting to make it nicer for chris. if he hadnât done it chris wouldnât have even thought about the idea of wesker fixing the doorknob so its not like chris wouldâve been like??? aghhh i cant believe he didnt fix the DOORKNOB like no. wesker just wanted to be nice. and fym wesker wanted to be nice???
i wanna also bring up re5 and its correlation to some of this but. BUT. i think i should make that its own post. so i think im gonna leave it here.
and people still think there's not any reason to ship them together, like their relationship didn't show some romance under the lines.. idk try to see beyond what they're showing you before you go around saying shit. Don't be that lazy!
