#easthies

easthies & the knights moralis are so so interesting to me i fear. they kinda aggravate me of course. because even setting aside how strict they are with the law the way they handle it is a bit strange too? like when they capture coco during the river incident they prepare to wipe her mind then and there rather than, say, asking follow up questions like where or how did she potentially learn forbidden magic, useful questions which might allow them to better serve the law and apprehend more law-breakers or prevent more people learning forbidden magic. but it's kind of clicked now that that is the whole point. They care more for punishing what they see as 'wrongdoers' that it actively harms their ability to actually help or prevent further harm. and that's especially prevalent upon reading the manga. And, with how wonderfully crafted the rest of the story is i have no doubt that it's intentional. I think it's a really cool and intriguing commentary on the justice system... easthies and the knights dont care for the people the pact is supposed to protect. or if they do, they care far more about punishing those that disobey it that it actively diminishes their ability to protect those people and prevent the law from being broken again. i dont know do i make sense. am i crazy. did everybody already know this. ohhhgh man....

vinanna is relatable because if easthies was my former apprentice and subordinate i’d also kick his ass whenever i saw him
