@creasedcrown inquired ; headcanon + morality
a word or a phrase for a headcanon
okay, so we’re going to start right from the beginning of olivia’s existence, starting with the newly appointed jester phase! since olivia is basically “new” to life at this point, she’s like a child when it comes to learning about things which includes her own morality. it’s actually much more accurate to say that for a while, she didn’t have her own sense of morals. anything that her brother- well, anything that “his royal majesty” told her was as good as the truth to her as she had no reason to argue against it aside from asking questions. while she might have occasionally had her moments of “are you sure this is okay?”, it was never really thought too hard about at the time and blissfully ignored it.
however, when she was beginning to finally gain the capacity to think for herself as well as potentially gaining moments where she could do whatever she wanted without an audience watching her, it was then that olivia began to see that the things she was doing was... not right. one way or another, olivia could see that there were other ways of having fun and even different ways of laughing; suddenly finding discomfort in the laughters of those who chose to watch her performances. as much as she wanted to not think of her brother as such a person, it just made sense to her the more she thought about it, which she did often. it very likely had an effect on her performances too, making them better or worse depending on how people saw it.
it was this overthinking that had eventually led to her changing her colour scheme to be more yellow-oriented as well as confronting him. and we all know how well that confrontation went! but for things that she knows by instinct is wrong, she is very adamant about speaking her mind about it. but most of the time, if there’s a majority of people that think something is wrong, chances are likely she’ll believe that too unless there’s something off about that opinion that she discovers the more she thinks about it.
her own morals don’t really become her own until she truly thinks about it for herself, because she normally doesn’t have a reason to not believe someone’s word and morals.
