#i'll get into it later but i think there's something about eiffel's relative privilege and the way. he overlooks some things because of it

eiffel and hera both hate rules, have authority issues, will go out of their way to make things difficult just because they hate being told what to do, etc. but the crucial difference is that hera gets purposeful and angry and vindictive about it in a way eiffel doesn't have to. it's something she has to fight for and the greater the stakes the more it means for her, personally, to be able to resist orders. eiffel is pretty much the same to anyone giving him any type of orders, by which i mean he's like "yeah, yeah, don't worry about it, i've totally got this" ← already forgot what he was told.

#you know what i mean. eiffel is a dedicated slacker and will do anything to avoid work even if it's actually making more work for him#and i think that's deeply admirable#but it's different for hera who has so much riding on. the way she presents herself and the responsibility she shoulders#it's an act of resistance and i think eiffel makes space for her but it's like. this isn't a particularly serious post so#i'll get into it later but i think there's something about eiffel's relative privilege and the way. he overlooks some things because of it#but also at his best is able to leverage that in defense of others. and particularly hera. anyway.
