Leon Kennedy

Nearly 4 years ago I purchased Resident Evil 2 Remake on sale. Admittedly not expecting much, but I'd heard some good things so I gave it a shot. I played it in the living room with my brother who was a very moody teenager at the time, and had almost no interest in anything I was doing. But he asked if he could watch me play the game.

It was a bit too scary for the stuff I usually liked to play and I wasn't very good at it. But the following night my brother asked if I was going to play it again, implying he wanted to see more of the game. I gave it another chance and despite getting freaked out many times, I loved it. I got to spend time with my sibling again. Since then he and I have played every single resident evil game. Even pre-ordering the most recent one, Resident Evil Requiem, so that we could play it as soon as it came out. This franchise has become one of my favorites over the years as its allowed me to rebuild my relationship with my youngest brother and watch out for him in any way that I can.

Photography is done by the wonderful and the talanted @infinityspiralphotography who I cannot thank enough for these photos. They were taken at @cosmeetupchicago 's "A Very Spooky Meetup" which took place at the University of Chicago. I hope to post more pictures soon and cosplay Leon many more times to come.

It's wednesday. That means you're probably halfway through your week thinking, "what am I gonna do this weekend?" Now, i dont have any suggestions. I cant tell you how to live your life.

But you should have a look at how cool this cosplay by midnight w4ffles looks here, in the meantime.

Dont forget to check out my booking for Colossalcon North in my bio links!
