Hey, you already know Ashley? From Resident Evil 4 (opens in new tab)? She’s a mouse now. Yeah, I do not actually get it both, however it is advisable clear any pictures you may have of the president’s daughter as an precise human lady out of your thoughts, as a result of the web has determined she’s an lovable, cheese-loving rodent no taller than your ankles, and now Capcom has acknowledged it too. I can solely think about a patch to the sport will probably be forthcoming within the subsequent few weeks.
It started simply over every week in the past, when a Twitter consumer named Agrimmora posted an innocuous little bit of fanart to their private account. Asking “What when you booted up resident evil 4 remake and Ashley was only a tiny mouse, what would you do,” Agrimmora inadvertently sparked off one of the vital highly effective and inexplicable memes in current reminiscence.

There’s a lot “Moushly” fanart on the market that I really feel assured saying it should outweigh the quantity of ‘regular’ RE4 remake Ashley artwork by now. There’s Moushly finding cheese (opens in new tab), Moushly recreating memes (opens in new tab), pixel Moushly (opens in new tab), a bunch extra I am going to put beneath and, sure, a really staggering quantity of artwork I can’t, below any circumstances, embed or hyperlink to within the physique of this text. The boundaries of human style are actually infinite.
I am neither a social scientist nor the proprietor of a fursona, so I is likely to be overstepping my bounds by theorising about this one. But when I had been to push my luck, I might say that Agrimmora’s fast sketch contained a design that was simple to duplicate, instantly recognisable, and (let’s be sincere) fairly lovable. Moushly has the vibe of a beloved Saturday morning cartoon character, and whereas the psychological A-to-B of ‘turning RE4’s Ashley right into a mouse’ is just a little arduous to know, I believe the recognition of the Moushly character is simple to intuit.
Plus, as with RE4’s Ghibli-esque trailers (opens in new tab), there’s one thing interesting within the hole between the sport’s precise material (sinister cultists utilizing parasites to transform human beings into bioweapons) and the memes (Ashley is a cute mouse who needs cheese).
However like I stated, it is now reached the purpose the place even Capcom has commented on the pattern, albeit in a fairly indirect approach. Final Friday, the official Resident Evil Twitter account posted (opens in new tab) a mouse emoji and a cheese emoji, which naturally despatched a number of thousand individuals into overdrive, with many taking it as affirmation that Moushly is now “canon” (opens in new tab). What does it imply for another, rodent model of a videogame character to be canon? No clue, however no matter it means, it is true.
Anyway, you have had fairly sufficient of me. Here is a number of my favorite Moushly fanart that I can’t and won’t clarify:
