pythas... . . .. .... .
#I am having so many thoughts abt him. none of them coherent#thinking abt how he's so good at surrendering. at following orders. at resigning himself to doing awful things#he just convinces himself that there's no other choice.#it's not that he's scared of the consequences of other choices. he just doesn't let himself think that other choices exist#which makes him a really good tool. tain made him head of the order bc he proved that he would always follow orders if it came down to it#I think he knows that cardassian fascism sucks. he's experienced how much it sucks. but there's no other option. right??#I think elim was too kind and too imaginative and couldn't repress the part of himself that dreamt of something better#and when their paths diverged. elim got to see so many different perspectives and it broadened his worldview#while pythas only became deeper entrenched in the fucked up ideology of the order#I think when tain took over the order to go fight the dominion and killed a bunch of operatives so they wouldn't get in the way#he spared pythas. bc he knew pythas wouldn't get in the way. he knew pythas would quietly acquiesce as he always has#perhaps that contradicts asit's canon. I never did know what to make of that scene where it's revealed that entek is in pythas's office#narcissus's echoes#pythasposting
