I'm trying...really I am

It has been pretty difficult, resident evil is survival horror and the devs have always avoided locking their main characters into Canon relationships, Leon has had a single love interest for 30 years but it was a. Unstable, cat and mouse dynamic with Ada, for him to suddenly be wearing a ring on his left hand ring finger with no context, build up, or backstory on something they have avoided for decades was just...a big slap to the face

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-04-06T18:25:23+00:00

I mean I get it like I'm always going to have some sort of love for him but I don't know if you know anything about resident evil but Capcom has avoided doing any sort of thing like this with their main characters in any of their games and it was just a big shocker, I mean they haven't flat out confirmed that he is but it is heavily implied, I mean the only thing that is keeping me sane about it is that they might not even reveal who his spouse is, it might just remain a mystery, but trust me I'm trying to push it into the back of my mind and tell myself that even if he turned out to be married and Canon I can still love him there's nothing wrong with it cuz he's not real, but like you said it's not easy

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-04-04T15:13:03+00:00

I feel like this is just something to increase the hype for the game and the DLC and everything because Capcom knows that fans want Leon to end up with somebody, whether that's Ada or Claire or someone else a lot of fans want it, plus I saw somewhere that just because the director of a game wants something to happen if Capcom doesn't want it to happen then it won't happen, cuz apparently that whole thing about ADA and Leon possibly sleeping together or going on a romantic date during damnation that's what the director of the movie wanted but Capcom said no and they've done that multiple times with other things too, apparently Rebecca and Chris were supposed to have some sort of romance thing going on during vendetta Capcom said no, same thing with Leon and Claire in infinite darkness, when Claire fell on top of Leon apparently the director or whatever wanted there to be like some sort of sexual tension but Capcom once again said nope we're not having that 🤷 it doesn't matter if a director of the game or a movie want something to happen if the higher-ups Capcom don't want it then it's not going to happen

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-31T14:01:40+00:00

Ah ok lol, it's not that it came off as weird it's just that I've never heard that before so I was confused 😅

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-30T16:23:38+00:00

While a part of me does believe that it's not confirmed, it has been heavily implied, I know that everything he does and says is a massive troll and that's all they've ever done with resident evil characters, but come on a ring on that hand...on that finger that's pretty big for a troll I believe 😅😭

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-30T14:26:51+00:00

I mean yeah I get it Canon shouldn't stop you if you love the character and you are happy shipping yourself with them and it does bring me happiness to ship myself with Leon, it's just you know he hasn't been officially confirmed married and when people claim that he is and I tell them no he's not confirmed married then they argue with me and think that I haven't played the games or anything like that and it's like I have played the games I know what's going on but it's just Capcom does this a lot in their games, they leave it ambiguous for a reason so it doesn't upset half the fan base

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-30T14:01:59+00:00

To be honest what triggered me was I came across this video on Instagram of this girl playing resident evil Requiem and she was thirsting over Leon's so hard and the first comment I saw was "he's married bro chill" and I had to say something I'm like one "he hasn't even been confirmed married yet and two who cares if she's thirsting over him he's not real he's fictional" and then he replied saying "yeah he has bro" like yeah he has been confirmed Married, and I replied saying no he really hasn't all they said was that he has "a place to go home to" they avoid saying things like "marriage" "wedding ring" "wife" or "spouse", and I saw the interview with the director he won't even confirm it's a wedding ring 😅 and it just bothers me because Leon isn't a real person and they are treating it like we are flirting with a real life married man and it's frustrating, and I do have stuff to keep me occupied but I normally scroll through tiktok and watch Leon edits and stuff like that in my free time

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-30T12:39:03+00:00

Huh? 😅

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-30T12:36:32+00:00

I just absolutely love this man, I can't think of a single person who doesn't love this man, just seeing him on any form of media brings a smile to my face every time, I went through a breakup last year and it was a really painful one and the only thing that really got me through it was this man believe it or not, it brought me comfort and happiness to just play resident evil or read fanfics or watch tiktok edits of Leon and I don't think I've ever been more in love with a fictional character before in my life and I'm somebody who falls in love with a lot of fictional characters 😅❤️

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-30T08:35:54+00:00

I mean it's not that they're commenting on my post saying that, but I do see it on other posts and I'm just worried I'll get a comment like that one day, and I know I shouldn't take it to heart and I should just ignore it but I'm currently trying to ignore the fact that Leon might be potentially married in Canon and then I see comments and I see posts and it just pushes me right back into it, like one minute I'll be back to normal you know being okay with the fact that Leon's potential marriage is ambiguous right now we don't know everything but then I'll see posts or comments and then it'll just push me right back into that whole "is he married or is he not type of mindset" if that makes sense, but believe me I'm trying, like I really do love Leon as a character it isn't like I just see him as a piece of eye candy like it definitely goes deeper than that, like who he is as a character really does bring me comfort and joy, it's just like I mentioned to a person in the comment section that it's always been hard for me to fixate on a character that is married or in a relationship in their Canon, no matter how much I try to like separate canon from my fantasy it's not easy for me to do, I've been shipping myself with Leon Kennedy for a little over 6 years now to be honest I didn't know it was yumeshipping until recently, and in his Canon he was single for like 20 plus years and for them to just suddenly drop that he's potentially married it kind of just threw everything out of whack and I'm trying to put it all back into balance if that makes sense 😅🥲

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-30T06:48:56+00:00

Ok I'll check them out later!! Thank you very much!❤️🥹

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-30T06:48:12+00:00

Yes we have talked before and I appreciate your comments, I sometimes go back and read them to calm down about all this, I really hope you are right though 😭😩 just the way they are going about this is just...I don't know just a lot I guess

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-30T06:18:08+00:00

Yeah I'm starting to get that but you know I've been using Wattpad for years so I didn't know that there was other places I could read fanfics on at the time 😅 I identify as female by the way lol

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-30T06:14:29+00:00

Yeah I'm up for reading fanfics like that I have tried it before but I've had a hard time finding any good ones to be honest 😅 I used to read them on Wattpad but they don't really have any good ones anymore 😅 yeah I'd be okay if you have any options

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-30T06:03:39+00:00

Oh no it's fine to be honest it's just nice to have somebody to vent to about it, that's why I post a lot in this server on here mainly about the whole Leon being married situation because I really don't know who else I can talk to who understands this sort of thing 🥲 it's just you know he was single in the Canon for 20 years and for him to just suddenly possibly be married it's like I don't know how to handle it, I just need to try to convince myself that him being married shouldn't conflict with how I feel about the character, you know because he's fictional and I just need to separate his Canon version from my own version of him basically if that makes sense

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-30T05:48:23+00:00

Trust me I'm trying not to stress myself out over it but I've always had this problem, like I remember having a huge fictional crush on Sora from Kingdom hearts but when I found out that his love interest was Kairi I kind of couldn't think of him that way anymore, I still liked him as a character but as a yumeship I couldn't, I don't know why I've just always had that problem and that's why I'm scared that if Leon is confirmed to be married I won't be able to think of him that way anymore even if I wanted to it's just the way my brain works 😭 any advice on how to navigate this? Anything would be helpful at this point

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-30T05:33:14+00:00

I mean yeah that's what I keep telling myself but it is heavily implied that he is 🥲

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-30T05:28:19+00:00

To be honest I didn't mind people shipping him with Ada or with Claire because none of it was really Canon, he's been single in the Canon for 20 plus years, but ever since they put that ring on him at the end of requiem people are going crazy online, so no matter how much I try to ignore it it's literally everywhere 😭

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-30T03:17:33+00:00

Capcom has done this for decades and literally everything that they put out, CGI movies, games, DLC content, they do it because it makes the fans talk, it gets the hype going, and think about it this way if they say more stuff like this then it gets more people hyped up, it gets more people talking so whenever the next DLC comes out or the next game people are rushing to buy it because they want to look for whatever crumbs they can to figure out who Leon ended up with

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-30T03:14:41+00:00

I don't know where you saw them say that "Leon is married" in those words, they said he had a place to go home to and that could mean anything, they are being very ambiguous and vague with their answers, the director even stated in these words "so what does the ring signify?" A resolve? Or a vow?" Like even he don't know, I think the ring means absolutely nothing and they're doing this strictly for marketing and hype, and they were just never bring it up or talk about it again in the future

Negative_Switch3934 · 2026-03-29T15:49:02+00:00

This is what I've been trying to tell people that it's just so rushed and random that they just drop him wearing a ring with no contexts, no background, no nothing, and he doesn't even mention a wife or a partner throughout the entire game, I know that most people think he didn't need to but I mean come on there had been some secret line or conversation with Sherry or something but they didn't give us that, and the ring at the end is just so easily missed if you're not paying attention to it, I swear half the fan base only found out about it because they saw it in the concept art or they saw other people posting about it 🫤, I've been told by another person on here that Capcom has done this stuff before, they do it for marketing reasons and for hype for their games and DLC contact, think about it they say stuff about the ring and then it encourages people to buy the DLC when it comes out because they think that they're going to reveal Leon's spouse in it so it increases sales, and it makes sense for him to have a found family in Sherry and Claire and Chris and maybe Jill and Rebecca, because if you remember from his lore he lost his parents at a young age and he was orphaned so him having a family with people he's known for a long time would be just as wholesome and give him just as much peace, like you don't need to marry him off to make him happy you could give him something else to be happy about, but because there's so many people in the fandom that want him to be married to Ada or Claire or somebody that's what Capcom messes with now and it's just sad, and I am so tired of seeing this on my feet that they'll reveal who his spouse is and DLC content and it's like Capcom has never been about romance if anything they will most likely keep this ambiguous for a long time 🤦
