okay thinking about "attitude to personal property" as a defining character trait in j&j might seem a liiiittle obvious bc. thief show. but rose and p'nang talking about being absolutely committed to (rosé's) moral right to her legal property made it click in my mind-
#jack & joker#meta#intrasting. i think the attitude towards the debtors items intrigued me too#like‚ they can't steal the necklace bc it belongs to Arun and therefore would be morally wrong to steal#but stealing the items is seen as taking them back#not even Robin hood style taking from the rich and giving to the poor#which was seen with the bank robbery#bc surely taking the necklace would fall into that paradigm#but the debtors technically have loaned their items after borrowing money#despite the ethics of loan sharks#are the debtors still required to pay their loans back in Joke's eyes? is he trying to give them an opportunity to flee with their stuff?#how much does back giving his ring back relate to how he feels like he owes his body to his boss for his debt?#but felt within his rights to help steal back the necklace? was that just because he was caught up in it‚ or does it align with his ethics?#idk if any of that made sense but I'm definitely here for this line of thought!
