What i find funny about my post about Etoiles' obsession with saying that the codes who attacked the eggs were from the Feds is that... so many ppl seem to romantize the shit out of Etoiles on this issue.

It's awesome to read these takes, it ticks all the boxes for a very good story... but I really don't see it that way lmao

Like, all the analysises I read seem to hinge on the assumption that this obstination is a rp thing, but I'm pretty sure that this is a cc!Etoiles thing.

He's just convinced he's right, despite all the clues, 1) because lbr, he's not the most attentive when given instructions/clues and consistently gets things wrong because he just rushes when reading stuff... and 2) because he reads a lot of dumbass takes in his chat, which means that nowadays he just assumes his chat is wrong or writing fanfictions whenever they try to argue about this specific theory lmao

Also, I think he lets himself be stubborn about it because, ultimately, even if he's wrong? it doesn't really change anything. He already knows the resistance is shady.

Learning that they attacked the eggs in the past won't stop him from still working with them and won't change the fact that the second the resistance fucks up, he's out. He'd be surprised and disapointed to be wrong but yeah, he'd shrug it off easily.

He really doesn't have an unwavering loyalty towards the code at all. He just loves them because they've been fun to fight and have given him a good challenge.

Sure, he'd love to have 100% trust towards them, and he does feel a warrior's bond with them. He was DELIGHTED when he got the confirmation that they were working against the Feds... but he also knows they're just tools. Tools that obey to their weilder. So if the weilder is bad, the code will be bad. And he doesn't mind that! He understands that the codes are all different!

I think his only concern is to make sure that they never completely fall into bad hands, and for now, he'd rather the resistance (gray area) have them than the feds (confirmed bad guys).

Again, so fun to see everyone giving him the "lonely misunderstood warrior clinging to someone who's Like Him" treatment... but i can't help thinking that it's not that deep.

Idk, maybe I'm being too meta about it, maybe etoiles is actually cooking up a codetoiles slow burn lmao
