I wonder if this has something to do with Jack's abuse towards his son. I mean, everything has to come from somewhere.
Jack seems oppressive and demanding when it comes to Lucas' behaviour. I think Lucas is so used to this power dynamic where he's weak and helpless that he projects it on every situation. He doesn't believe he CAN be anything but a powerless weakling, so he doesn't even bother trying. However, he knows he's smart and good at engineering, so he uses it as the only way to be in control. And he tries to come off as a tough guy so that nobody suspects he's actually nothing without his inventions </3
Ah yes the need to be in control, my beloved. He's just like me fo real
something i love about Lucas is that he’s canonically a pussy. he is an actual basement dwelling, cowardly, self-preservative little Gremlin who feels safest hiding behind his screens and gadgets and it gives me a good ol Chuckle
besides the dinner table scene we only ever really encounter him through tv screens and video feeds or with some sort of barrier between him and us (at least in main story) and the one time we Do almost get a face-to-face encounter he fucking hauls ass out of there.
he knows his strength is his intelligence. it’s how he keeps control over situations/his victims. he’s scrawny and no good at physical altercations… BUT… technically he cant even die thanks to the infection (not without a whole lot of firepower, that is). still he runs. little shit is Not taking any chances hahahaha. juxtaposed next to Jack who is constantly up our ass in a very aggressive physical manner it’s pretty funny
