(sometimes self-recognition through the other can include the other being so different that you learn something about yourself! and sometimes i think it's cute to impress that onto blorbos)

It's wild to me that Claude is so widely perceived as untraumatized, especially in comparison to the other lords. This man has lived through extreme racism and xenophobia that threatened his life numerous times as well as his very identity. He is fundamentally in such difficult position that he has to be permanently on the lookout for threats, wherever he is.

It's pretty clear that this traumatic experience informs nearly all of his behavior. I would even argue Claude is so strongly driven by his trauma that you just can't understand his characters without considering its influence. There’s so many elements going in this direction: his drive to create a world that is at its essence safe for him to live in, his fear of vulnerability, his avoidant tendency, his thirst for knowledge, his particular ways of handling battles, etc.

It seems like the root of the treatment of Claude's trauma is both the normalization and dismissal of the suffering of racism. When we look at the wider cast, it shows a concerning trend in the treatment of character who's experience is tied to it: Dimitri or Sylvain tend to be painted much more tragically than Dedue is, and Petra is not really potrayed as tragic in general. It's particularly insidious as it's not necessarily that their hardships are not acknowledged, it's moreso that they do not get the emphasis and emotional drive other are granted. In essence, racism may be treated as something bad but it's normalized in the way it's not taken as an extraordinary traumatic event in its consideration. There's a fundamental disconnect in what is said and how it's actually handled.

In Claude case, it does seem to be as well due to the pejorative view of both trauma and mental illness. Often, I have seen this supposed lack of trauma held to frame Claude as above the other lords ( especially in memes, with some mention in discourse ), who are in return painted as irrational and emotional. Claude is thus removed from his struggles because due to ableist misconceptions, it would hurt his image as a cool, smart guy.

Especially because Claude is explicitly biracial.

When anyone focuses on his struggle with racism and xenophobia, it's always with the focus being on his Almyran heritage in Fódlan.

Never on growing up with a foreign mother regarded as a demon queen in Almyra, with barbaric blood magic in his veins, marking him as an outsider even in his natural-born home, seen as a foreigner pretender to the throne who must be disposed of before he leaves childhood. A monster playing at being one of them.

Never for his Fódlany green eyes, the slight curl of his mother's accent in his words, his stockier build so unlike his svelte jockey cousins, a yearning and curiosity in the world around him beyond the naïve arrogance of his brothers always seeking dominion in martial glory. Against his mother's people. Against him. Only ever protected by his father's friend Nader, who sees Tiana and Khalid as exceptions to those primitive Fódlany across the mountains and worthy of being seen as Almyran, the aspirationally inherently superior identity.

We don't talk about how Khalid LEFT Almyra to become the heir Claude of Riegan– before realizing he could do more if he returned to Almyra only after living two years abroad, and seeing Leicester and the Fódlany are actually just as bad as the homeland he tried to escape. They were never going to be more welcoming or accepting of him. Everyone is the same, no matter who and where.

Everyone has always been suspicious of him, ever since birth, so why would he be anything but suspicious of others? Why would he assume he might be accepted, knowing he is only playing at comfort and acceptance no matter where he lives?

I’ve been posting these on Bluesky and wanted to share them with you all—here is “Post-Canon Ferdinand trying to help solidify the alliance between Adrestia and Almyra by offering himself for a political marriage with Claude, and making it Hubert’s problem”

Part one, the scheme:

Part two, Ferdinand trying to dance with Claude and fucking it up So Bad

[hubernies]

bonus: Ferdinand bothering Hubert about Claude a second time, and getting under his skin in the process (again)

"They proved to be an astonishingly good match, working together to protect Fodlan from the shadows. It is said they showed their affection for one another by wearing matching embroidered flowers."
