⁂ lost stat dalmatian | gift from hayley ⁂
leon is named after the alt-j track of the same name, an unreleased “partner” to their song matilda. both songs are in reference to the film léon, a story of a professional hitman- léon- and a 12 year old girl- mathilda- he essentially makes his apprentice. over the course of the film, mathilda eventually confesses her love for him which he cannot reciprocate. she is not only still a child, but he has vowed never to love anyone else after his girlfriend was murdered. eventually, he finds that he loves her in a different kind of way, eventually sacrificing himself to help her avenge the death of her family. the film is one that is loved by the band, and appears in their songs often. in the partner to this song, matilda, a direct line from the film is actually referenced as an opening line, being léon’s final words, “this (referring to an explosive) is from mathilda.” the line speaks to his self-sacrifice, as he is killing himself for someone he loves.

leon was a gift from my lovely friend vanquish after i made her a few things. she’d seen my entry in a rehoming thread for a lost dalmatian and happened to stumble upon him. unprompted, she gave me one of my biggest dreams on foopets, and i think that speaks to her insane generosity. thanks to her, i’ve gotten two of the pets i’ve always wanted to have in my home.
