thinking about eshka’s reasons for her still holding onto her dislike of the crows and I think it comes down to her still nursing the pain and trauma of the inciting incident, along with a strong memory of her life before. and her response to stress being anger and frustration over sadness + grudge holding stubbornness

#along with how she’s seen a lot of crap and isn’t content to settle about it #she sees how the crows are broken but she’s not inclined to fix it #at least take action in a way that would put her in a position of power #she would hate being a talon. she would let house De Riva fall into ruin if Viago named her successor #and he knows it!#eshka and Viago know each other too well #she hates what jacobus does but she won’t do anything about it beyond be angry at it #where does she even start with dismantling things or even trying to get people to see her point #and not go along with how this is just how it is #nevermind the stability of Antiva that relies on the crows #govern ivenci has a point or two (in a comical way) but the points they make about #wondering about the safety and security of a nation organized by the crows + merchant princes is questionable #but eshka wouldn’t dare to tear it apart #yeah she’ll take on the gods but dismantling the government?#no thanks !!#oc: eshka #veilguard spoilers #I’m sure there’s more in her head of why she wouldn’t dismantle the crows #she’s kind of a coward and afraid of change
