Since Resident Evil 4 Remake released, there's been an influx of Ashley Graham fanart depicting her as a tiny mouse.
If you're wondering how and why Moushley has turned up on your Twitter feed, even without all the random changes Elon Musk implements daily, here's what happened.
When character redesigns for the remake were first revealed, a few people (myself included) mourned the loss of Ashley's ears poking out from under her hair. I think it's cute! I've always jokingly considered them Dumbo ears, though others see the similarities to a mouse.
One of the first to make the mouse connection was artist Agrimmora, who posted the first Moushley fanart on 24th March. What if you booted up Resident Evil 4 Remake and Ashley was just a tiny mouse. What would you do?

«I saw a joke drawing that depicted Ashley with big ears and this came to mind», they tweeted as a follow-up, to explain where the idea came from. The fanart Agrimmora had seen was this piece posted by salomoncallee on 22nd March, which depicted Leon and Ashley listening to the dialogue lines of the enemies in the game.
