Started thinking about Eclairette and their dynamic and the deeper themes and connective tones that draw them together and...

I don't know how to explain it exactly, but just as you have Law and Order, you have Truth and Justice. Justice cannot exist without Truth, but Truth cannot be confirmed unless it's actively sought after. Lies can be manipulated and posed as truths - enough to where even Justice could be convinced - but that doesn't mean Truth no longer exists.

Justice is blind, but Truth is not.

Ugh, my brain isn't working the way I want it to right now but this means something and I've gotta sit a bit longer and figure out exactly what it means...

#toast talks #I associate a lot of eye imagery with Eclair for the reasoning of 'Justice is blind but Truth is not'.#She's even said something extremely similar to Neuvillette at some point. Might have been an argument?#I can't remeber exactly but I *do* remember one of her biggest gripes with how Justice is handled in Fontaine #is its reliance on the Oratrice to give ''proper'' judgements.#A machine that takes facts at face value and never has a moment to weigh if that fact is fallacy wrapped in truth's garb #is not the cornerstone in which Justice should rely on.#But Truth *needs* to be sought after. If no one seeks Truth then how can Justice prevail?#What is Truth if not the anchor that holds Justice in place?#And I can't help but think back to when Eclair got her Vision and had this same conversation with herself #Because while Justice ruled her mother's disappearance as unsolvable *Truth* was still hidden and begging to be found.#And Truth can be such a fickle thing. Like water.#Slipping between loose fingers on doubting hands. Slacking the thirst of those eagerly seeking it.#Drowning those bold enough to believe they could *always* keep their head above the water.#I am...doing a *lot* of thinking on Eclair today ooough...#''Justice is blind but I am not.'' Lines that go hard and remind me that Eclair is so much more than what I've shared so far #I should not have drank this coffee today I'm gonna go into a thinking spiral omfg #oc tag: Eclair Dumont #<- so I absolutely do not lose this later on #eclairette
