E-Sims for Gaza

Hey, everyone!! I know it's been forever since I've last been on here, but I hope you're all hanging in there!!

I just wanted to encourage all of you to donate e-sims to help as many people in Gaza as possible. You can find instructions on how to do so at this site

If you buy an e-sim from Nomad, you can use my referral code to get $3 off your first purchase: MADI73VA

And if you buy an e-sim from Holafly, you can use my referral link to get a discount: http://rwrd.io/a5zrqmn

Once again, please do donate e-sims!!! They're absolutely vital resources for the Palestinian people to keep in touch with the outside world, to contact medical services, to coordinate rescue efforts, and many other kinds of critical activities. For a lot of Palestinians in Gaza, having access to an e-sim can literally be the difference between life or death

Resident Evil: Death Island Wishlist:

I have to admit, after seeing the new trailer that came out today, I’m beginning to get cautiously optimistic because it’s actually dispelled a lot of the greatest fears I had for this movie!! That being said, I still definitely have a few wishes for this movie: 

1. I want Jill Valentine to be THE central main character. Everyone else can be co-protagonists, sure, but I want her to be the main character OVERALL. Chronologically speaking, it’s been WAAAAY too long since she last got to be the main character outside of a remake, and her time in the spotlight has been long overdue

2. RESTORE CLAIRE AND LEON’S FRIENDSHIP BACK TO ITS FORMER GLORY!!!! I don’t care how Capcom does it, I just want them to bring their friendship back!!!!!

I hate, hate, HATED the ending of Infinite Darkness because not only was it completely unnecessary and hateful to unravel Claire and Leon’s beautiful friendship and bond, but it was also such a stupid, contrived way of doing it as well

So I don’t care how Capcom does it, whether it be a retcon or something else, but I want Claire and Leon’s friendship to be fully RESTORED to its former glory!!!!!

(Although the fact that both Claire and Leon respectively had solo scenes with every other main character aside from each other in the trailer makes me nervous, I’m still trying to have hope…)

I just want them to be besties again!!!!! PLEASE, CAPCOM!!!! PLEASE!!!!!! 🥺🥺🥺

3. Some kind of scene that suggests that Revelations 3 is happening and that Rebecca will be the main character there. I miss my girl 🥺

4. Chris and Claire getting to be siblings onscreen!!!! The last time we saw them together was in CVX!!!! I miss their sibling dynamics!!!!! 

Appreciation for Leon’s Character Design in Resident Evil 4 Remake:

I just wanted to discuss Leon’s character design in RE4 Remake, because WOW, holy moly

Now first, I’d like to admit that it took some time for me to get used to his new design in this game. Leon was THE first video game character I ever found sexy, so his OG RE4 appearance was and still is absolutely beloved to me, and thus any differences between his design in this game and his design in the OG RE4 were jarring enough that I found his new design off-putting initially

But now that I’ve gotten used to it, I can confidently say that it stands right alongside OG RE4 as THE iconic Leon character design, imo

And I just wanted to talk a little bit more in depth about why I love it so much, because it is CLEAR that Capcom put a lot of thought and care into his new design

(Putting under a read more so that I don't clutter up the tag with my borderline incoherent ramblings)

How Resident Evil 4 Remake Makes it More Explicit that Leon’s Life SUCKS

While Resident Evil 4 Remake's new introduction insinuates it, supplemental material makes it explicitly clear that the ONLY reason Leon joined the government as a special agent after the events of RE2 was because they threatened to MURDER Sherry, a little girl, if he refused to work for them. In other words, Leon gave up his freedom for Sherry's safety. Actually, to put it even more bluntly, it means that the US government essentially enslaved Leon, who was already severely traumatized by the events of Raccoon City, and forced him to continuously re-traumatize himself over and over again by forcing him to undergo brutal training and throw himself into life-threatening missions where he endlessly has to fight against bioterrorist monstrosities

(I’ll add the rest under a read more to avoid cluttering the tag)
