why do you care so much about lucrecia she's a horrible person

OOOH boy.

I'm in kind of a spicy mood today, so not sure how this is gonna come out.

First things first, TW: pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, depression, abuse

Why do I care about Lucrecia?

Because I'm a mom. And she's a mom. And because whatever Lucrecia did wrong, and she did do things wrong, she never got to hold her son.

I don't think some people who have not gone through childbirth, especially a traumatic one, understand how horrifying that concept is to me. I physically could not stop shaking with panic every time my baby was not in my arms in that immediate postpartum period. Not being able to see my baby for the first time, even for only five minutes while she was with my husband and being given her vaccines, made me feel terror I had never felt before. For whatever she did, she did not deserve to be indefinitely separated from her child before she was given the chance to even hold him.

She was also isolated and abused and probably had both peri and postpartum depression. I do not believe Hojo is capable of a healthy relationship, and she had been so thoroughly manipulated that she believed she deserved to be treated this way. She was trapped in a nightmare with an evil man in circumstances she helped create, but clearly regretted.

And that's another thing. I've never seen a single person who defends her say she did nothing wrong. We know she did things wrong. I've never said she was innocent or that she made zero mistakes. What I am saying is that the fandom is so quick to condemn her. She is not exactly like Hojo in any sense. She is not an irredeemable monster. She made mistakes under circumstances that were horrific and abusive.

Yes, she did things wrong. She also suffered. She also wanted to love her son. She realized and acknowledged her mistakes and tried to atone for them in the only ways available to her.

So, I guess the short answer is I care about her because some people are weirdly comfortable flattening a traumatized and abused mother into a "horrible person" who was "just like Hojo," or at the very least saying that defending her on the grounds of her clearly unaddressed trauma is somehow irrelevant because she made mistakes before that.

A bit of a Lucrecia character study for my post AC AU. Letting Lucrecia being fittingly weird and have poor sense of boundaries. A bit more context under the cut (Hojo mention warning)

Corresponding head canons/ context:

Top left: Not sure why Lucrecia gets clothes while Seph didn't for being crystalized in the lifestream, but keeping it. As a former Shinra scientist, Lucrecia is plenty familiar with unethical human and monster experiments which involves being very familiar with anatomy. In her mind, nothing weird at all about patching up her naked adult son. Sephiroth is unconscious so unable to be bothered by this.

Top Middle: Hojo definitely only ever used a rectal thermometer on Sephiroth because he would care about minor differences in accuracy even after his son is fully grown up. As such, Sephiroth didn't know there were less invasive options and objected to having his temperature taken citing it being a little too intimate. He is much more willing to let them use an ear thermometer.... Lucrecia wouldn't mind the increased accuracy of a rectal thermometer though.

Top right: In this AU Seph's original wound from being cut in half by Cloud has been preserved while he was crystalized in the livestream. His Jenova half put in the work to fix the organ damage enough to be useable, but his original body is too human to fully heal especially since he is still in the state of coming off a week of no food, water or sleep. Lucrecia is checking for stomach or intestine perforations since they are known to have a specific smell.

Bottom left: A bit later once Lucrecia is getting more comfortable trying to act like a mom. Sephiroth had a panic attack after a nightmare (memories of Hojo using Ifalna's dissection as a threat) and was sick as a result. He initially swiped her away, but she sat with him until he calmed down. She got his permission to touch him, but he refused the offer of a hug on account of not wanting to ruin her clothes.

Bottom right: Lucrecia getting to live her dream of holding her son. She can have a little Jenova super strength as a treat. (A bit more of a joke).
