Hojo stop making these nice moms/imaginary moms and their kids live in detention cells. It’s so mean and they are clearly starving.

On Lucrecia Crescent and Choice

I want to write up a little analysis about these thoughts I have...one day.

Fandom criticises Lucrecia for her choices. And logically they were bad choices with tragic consequences. But how much blame, for lack of better term, is to be placed on a character, where their choices are basically being stuck between a rock and a hard place?

Lucrecia is looked down upon for choosing Hojo, but how much of this choice was freely given decision-making, and how much was born of mental and emotional anguish, manipulation and being beaten down into submission?

On the other hand, fandom never seems have a little thought go off - why did Ifalna choose to have a child with another man responsible for human experiments? The very thing Lucrecia is hated for, quite deeply in some instances.

Maybe just think about it for a little bit. Gast ran off with a hot lady Cetra to make more Cetras, and left his responsibilities for a life he helped create (Sephiroth) behind. And this is the mark of a good husband and father?

Meanwhile a woman who never got to hold her son, but is drowning in despair at the consequences of her choices, is told she is the same as the abuser who destroyed her son? And the scientist who ran from his responsibilities just because her son was not what he wanted, is the better person here?

Maybe just think about choices and how we percieve characters.
