Brianna La Croix.
Brianna of the Cross.
Could there be more blatant symbolism wrapped up in that image.
Vox sometimes I think you're a genius. The Jesus imagery is perfect.
Brianna of the cross.
Brianna on the cross.
Brianna the martyr, the crucified.
The woman who dies, kills and commits dirty acts that "need doing" for the sins of the community.
La Croix itself is a shield. A delusion. It is a buffer between any true moral reflections on the evil they've wrought, intentional or accidental. They must make decisions and interfere.
Bri wants to reflect. She feels guilty. She knows there is a conscience in there that regrets its acts and no last fucking name excuses her sins.
But ultimately she believes she is La Croix. Of the cross. A name that carries such significance.
She must suffer for you by making decisions for you. They may cause you suffering, kill those close to you or be gross abuses of power but she'll never allow herself to truly take the fall or realize her /personal/ folly.
No the mere attachment of that name means she is appointed to act. She never had a choice, did she? She's La Croix!
It is a self-prescribed license to kill, choose, act. A family of eternal martyrs.
La Croix is a heavy cross to bear.
The more you blame her, the more she realizes she is doing the right thing. For someone must be hated and cursed for doing the dark, necessary things that keep our society running and surely she knows that is her role.
La Croix. Filled with the wisdom they've accrued over the ages. Ages filled with tyrants, madmen, death, destruction and injustice. It's all they've ever known. How would they conceive of an alternative where no dark deed needs doing?
And truly, why would they conceive of an alternative where there is no dark deed that needs doing? What would their purpose be then?
They are the La Croix.
Of the cross.
Imagine a world without crosses to bear.
Imagine a world without La Croix.
Break the cross!
