#wunsoc

Like. Of COURSE the director of PUBLIC IMAGE is morally grey. Of COURSE she is infuriatingly lawful neutral. That’s her JOB. She puts the society first, with no real regard for anyone else’s reputation, apart from how she can use it.

She totally disregards the individual person for the sake of the whole, and that makes her such a fascinating character. She’s tremendously good at her job. She’s a genius and a fiend, as Jupiter aptly puts it. She has to cater to a large audience, the entirety of the public, in fact, which makes what she does so difficult. She can single handedly influence the news cycle, through working impossibly hard. It’s implied she had to individually speak to all the news editors to cover up the bad parts of the incident at Wunsoc with the Fireblossoms and the protests.

She’s incredible. But you never want to be the one she needs a favour from. When she tells Morrigan the truth, she doesn’t hide her feelings and instead straight up tells her just how much work and money had to be done to smooth over the destruction of the Museum of Stolen Moments.

And of COURSE that hurts Morrigan. Deeply, in fact. After years on the Cursed Children’s register she was so happy to leave that behind in Jackalfax. Holliday telling her, point blank, exactly what she is to blame for, brings back that feeling, only for once it’s for something she actually did. Something she did to do the right thing. And it hurts. Of course she and Jupiter are furious at Holliday. Like. Why wouldn’t they be?? She totally changed Morrigan’s life, springing fame, fear, and publicity all on her at once.

And so, allow me to voice what might be a hot take.
