“if i had a nickel for every time there was a love interest in an otome game named gilbert, with a black/white/golden colour scheme, red eyes and a eyepatch covering his left eye, i’d have two nickles. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice”

“and if i had a nickel for every time there was a love interest in an otome game with blue-green eyes, dirty blond hair and white/teal clothes holding a gun to the mc’s head, i’d have two nickles. which also isn’t a lot but, again, it’s weird that it happened twice”

hello everyone

One thing that caught my attention in Piofiore is how the power dynamics play into the character choices, and how some characters are actually more privileged than the others yet due to how the political situation is set up, they don’t see that. And they perceive they have the right to do whatever they want because they see that they were wronged.

Like, Yang and Orlok, they are actually the most disadvantaged out of the lot, for different reasons. Yet they are the ones being framed as the ‘disrupters’ (also for different reasons XD). While Dante (and the Falzone) as well as Gilbert (the Visconti), they are morally ‘superior’ regardless of them actually being moral or not. This automatically gives Dante and Gilbert (and to a lesser extent Nicola) the ‘right’ to set the rules of who deserves to feel wronged and who deserves ‘rights’.

Yang is a horrible mafia boss but so are Dante and Gilbert, it is just that they are more organised and have a rules based system that makes them more ‘acceptable’ as they are natives to Burlone and have strong control over it. Yang and the Lao Shu were always at a disadvantage as they are the foreigners and to have some form of control in this new environment, their approach was more on the overt side. But at the end of the day, all families are criminals through and through.

Where Orlok comes in is the fact although he is part of the church which is politically the more superior out of them all, he was from the beginning groomed as a mere tool, so even in the church’s system, he is ‘inferior’. Then as he starts to break out of the systematic programming he underwent, and began to form his own goals and identity, this clashed with burlone’s mafia system. He became this ‘annoying’ outlier that has disrupted the order of things, and as such was targeted for just merely trying to go his own way. But how I see it is that Gilbert and Dante saw him as someone who does not have the right to actually go on his life even when they both knew very well that he is much less privileged than them and has been a victim of the church. Because with how the dynamics at place are set up, Gilbert and to a greater extent Dante, saw themselves as the ‘victims’ when they are far from being ones.

I feel Nicola understands this more than the other two as he is kind of also in a less privileged position, and he wanted to free Dante from this messed up system imo in part because he understands that this set up is toxic.
