THERE WAS A BODYGUARD
24 page FF7 fan comic by me!
This comic issue was made based on the fanfic Son by She_Sees_in_the_Dark on AO3. Make sure to read the original fanfic as well!
This is also available to read on my personal website.
You can download a free PRINTABLE digital PDF download of this comic on my gumroad as well.
People are so mean to Brian Lockhart. Like...I barely think about him half the time. And yeah, he was cruel to Cloud when the latter was a child.
But also??? He just lost his wife???? And was clearly lashing out after nearly losing his daughter in the same time frame??? Obviously him blaming Cloud was wrong. But is that to say that grieving people can't act irrationally? That they can't panic and jump to angry conclusions out of emotional distress? Are the very foundational flaws that make us human simply not allowed to exist?
We know that Brian disliked Cloud after this incident. But there's nothing else shown to suggest he was a reoccurring bully in Cloud's life. He wasn't conspiring against him. He was pissed because he thought this kid nearly got his daughter killed (which the other kids lied about btw). The only other time we see Brian, he's worried about Tifa's safety in leading the reactor expedition. And pretty rightfully so imo considering what happened to him and Tifa less than a decade prior. He loves his daughter. He doesn't want to lose her like he lost his wife. Because he's a good dad. A flawed dad, but ultimately a good dad.
And there are people out there who say that he DESERVED to be killed by Sephiroth. Like... what the fuck.
Reminder: Sephiroth killed an entire village of innocent men, women, and children. And then tried to nuke the planet with a meteor. And then infected the world with the plague for funsies. And enjoyed every minute of it.
Brian verbally lashed out at a child because he was worried about losing his daughter.
Yeah.
thinking about final fantasy vii dads today...
cloud and tifa have a weird thing going with their parents, where cloud lost his dad very young/didn't grow up with his dad, only living with claudia, and tifa has the exact opposite, where her mom died when she was young (leading to the og nibelheim incident /hj) and she grew up mostly with brian, until both claudia and brian died in the (second) nibelheim incident.
brian lockhart was obviously very protective of tifa, not wanting her to go up mount nibel in the first place with sephiroth, zack, and cloud to check on the reactor. then he died in front of her up in the reactor a week later...
while barret doesn't talk about his parents, he is a dad, and he sure has complicated feelings about that!! what with dyne being his best friend, and myrna not being able to be there with him, caring for marlene through all that loss must be crazy.
aerith's dad literally helped create sephiroth. professor gast was a craaazy dude lowkey. and he's so irrelevant in her life it kills me a little. i hope we see gast in pt. 3. and tell him his daughter is fuckin' dead.
nanaki has a weird thing with seto, too, where he believed him to be a coward, just to learn that in all actuallity, seto sacrificed the life he could have had with his wife and nanaki to protect cosmo canyon, so nanaki wouldn't feel the need to make a similiar, self-sacrificing choice.
yuffie and godo... her anger at him in the remake trilogy has me hooked. sonon seemed to think he was a great guy, and yuffie adamantly argued the opposite. i cannot WAIT to see him in pt. 3. i cannot wait to find out what is going on. she hates him so much right now, for the sake of her country.
does cid have a dad thing? ...i don't think so. neither does reeve/cait sith... well. i didn't forget them. they're mentioned.
vincent and grimoire... another thing i hope they explore in pt. 3... or in a DoC remake (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REMAKE IT.) the literal 4 minutes of grimoire screentime that explains absolutely nothing about their relationship, or grimoire's research, or... ANYTHING. i'm so. curious. he came in, flirted with lucrecia, and died. ARGH TELL ME MORE!!!
also, not a party member, but the whole "president shinra having multiple illegitimate sons" thing always makes me hate that guy a little more. lazard and evan i love you guys. rufus i love you too but your daddy issues are a different flavor.
i’ve been thinking about ff7s theme of parents and children……every main character except cid has a parent and/or child relation. i really want to draw all of the main gang with their parents/children!
