An eerie connection... (Ever Crisis Spoilers under 'read more')

I don't think this is a coincidental parallel. The wording, setting, everything. This is yet another Dirge of Cerberus connection. But what's interesting is how Lucrecia is being used in Ever Crisis. Speculations below.

Lucrecia is the center of both Vincent and Sephiroth's world, but with a dual nature. Lucrecia is a representation of reality vs illusion, purity vs corruption, light vs dark. When the ff7 dev team say that Vincent and Sephiroth have a connection, I think this is what they mean-- Lucrecia is the mold that binds them. But it's not just her. It's what she represents to each of them. At the same time, both Vincent and Sephiroth are disconnected from Lucrecia. Vincent's love for Lucrecia was unrequited, yet he was still drawn to her even if she never reciprocated that same affection towards him. Similarly, Sephiroth loves his mother-- but it's not Lucrecia, it's Jenova, in the form of Lucrecia. Jenova robs that affection that should have been directed to Lucrecia herself. Should Sephiroth ever meet his real mother, I doubt he would see her as the real her because he's already latched onto an illusion. If anything, I think First Soldier is setting the stage to make Lucrecia's role more prominent in part 3, particularly with regards to Sephiroth. Hopefully we get some First Soldier story in part 3, but it really makes a point to show how far gone Sephiroth is when it comes to his illusions of his mother. Whenever Sephiroth sees Jenova, a hideous monster, this is the face he sees-- Lucrecia. The connection between Lucrecia and Jenova is becoming way more intriguing outside of Lucrecia just having Jenova cells. It seems Lucrecia represents something much more complex. When it comes to Alissa (Ever Crisis FS SPOILERS), she exudes a lot of 'Lucrecia energy'. We know very little about Lucrecia's personality outside of the flashbacks in DoC. But what we have witnessed thus far shows that Alissa and Lucrecia have the same personality. She's playful, witty, charismatic and self-abasing (mostly). Now granted, this is Jenova being manipulative. And one could argue this is just Sephiroth's perception of what his mother's personality to be. But we do have to keep in mind that Jenova uses mimicry, plus her cells are inside Lucrecia (who is still alive). So I don't think it's far fetched to say Jenova has learned Lucrecia's personality down to a T. So when we see Alissa interact with Sephiroth, her words, personality, etc., I think it's safe to say we are largely witnessing Lucrecia's character as well. It's a bit weird to think that we're learning more of Lucrecia's personality through Alissa. Whatever Square has in store for Sephiroth's backstory involving Lucrecia, it's getting hella intriguing.

I'll incorporate this in my beliefs.

FUCK YOU domestic Remnants of Sephiroth + AC fam headcanons

After being brought into the household by a very disgruntled Cloud and a Mom Instinct Tifa, the Remnants were quickly indoctrinated into their funky found family.

Their first few days were spent shopping for new clothes, accessories, furniture, and other various goodies for their room

Speaking of their room, they all share a single room, but with three separate beds. Cloud's policy is that if they're too pissed off with each other to sleep in the same room, they can sleep on the couch.

They each have their own coffee mug. Loz's has a cat face on it. Yazoo's is one of those mugs that changes colors when a hot liquid is poured into it that looks like a battery being charged. And Kadaj's just says FUCK OFF in sparkly cursive font.

Marlene is quick to forgive and even quicker to get along with the three of them. Denzel, not so much; he's still got a big grudge over being literally mind controlled, which is fair.

Loz is the quickest to befriend everybody because he's got a big heart and is just happy to have a roof over his head. He also feels a bit bad about beating up Tifa, so he jumps on any opportunity to help her with things like cooking or carrying an obscene amount of grocery bags.

Yazoo is second for everyone to warm up to because he's quiet and polite. He mostly just sits and reads during his free time. One time, when she felt confident enough, Marlene just walked up to him and climbed into his lap. He didn't mind at all and she ended up falling asleep there.

Kadaj, as expected, took the longest to adjust. He needed a lot of time to get over his grudges and realize everything about Mother and Sephiroth was pointless. Once he did warm up, though, it was like a flip switched.

His confidence skyrocketed. He made jokes. He laughed. He was happy. Loz and Yazoo were completely unbothered, as if this was normal, but everyone else was shocked. When he was asked about it, Kadaj just shrugged and said he didn't want to waste his time pretending to be negative anymore.

He definitely still has his moments and his mood swings. But otherwise, he was content.

Now for the more fun headcanons:

Yazoo is an absolute fiend for garlic bread. Or anything garlic in general. He could kill a vampire just by standing near it.

Loz assesses everything by sniffing it first.

When they start to get along, Kadaj and Denzel start an ongoing game of punchies.

Loz forces everyone in the family to play card games with him at least once.

Yazoo is overall great with children. Any time he goes out near the local orphanage, the children flock to him with average children questions while begging to touch his hair.

Tifa and Yazoo help brush each other's hair sometimes. Tifa even puts Yazoo's hair in a little braid from time to time.

During the holidays, putting up the tree is a collective effort. At one point Kadaj climbs on Loz's shoulder to try and put the star on the top, which almost pushes the tree over and gives Cloud a heart attack.

Kadaj hangs around Cloud when he's working on Fenrir and is often forced to fetch tools or hold flashlights for him.

The remnants all go with Cloud whenever he visits the church so that they can thank Aerith for giving them another chance.

When the rest of the gang visits, Loz has a blast with Cait Sith and Red XIII, Kadaj has a heated debate with Cid, and Yazoo and Vincent stand in the Antisocial Corner to quietly talk.

Guess what everyone, the semester is over so time for new old art. New to this blog but stuff i drew during the semester with no time to post or talk about anything other than my masters program.

First, just a final fantasy drawing dump. Fun fact, when I am inspirationless I draw viera, it’s usually always Fran or Fran adjacent

Then of course Vincent Valentine

50 days until Vincent Valentine Week kicks off!

Afterwards…

Cloud: I think you broke him.

Zack: Agreed.

Cid: ….

Vincent: You like me??

Cid: You're a freak. Not quite the same as me but still a freak. I vibe with that.

Vincent:
