#nicole - we dont really know how she felt abt lordship

[garrothromeave]

for a system so set on not having monarchies they sure do suck at upholding that in mcd! like obviously that's one of the points, o'khasis trying to reestablish themselves as a monarchy - but like. the rest of the villages?

after the 15 year skip, we see that levin, cadenza, and nicole went on to pursue lordship. that's not even cadenza's THING, she never expressed interest in lordship prior to season 2. (neither nicole, but her situation was complicated.) obviously a lot changes in fifteen years, duh, and maybe all of these characters decided to go on to become lords because they WANTED to be lords, but all in the same i don't think jess really thought through the idea that it's supporting monarchy rather than democracy or whatever other system they had. at least new meteli had a council system - that's a step forward and was really dope, but all in the same, cadenza still became the lord. so. idk 0_0

you could probably twist it into a storytelling thing, where within the years without aphmau things have only gotten worse and it was regressing further than when she got there - i think that was a general idea that was being upkept through s2? so this is either brilliant writing or her not paying attention/caring. and this is jess. so take your pick
