Lorien Legacies as propaganda

I feel like any adult in the modern era could and should understand how interesting it is how much lorien legacies kind of reads like "the history, as written by the victors" Theres an intense politicism to the fact that the original garde were children and didn't know of lorien and their cepan as part of the system or they died without letting them know of the faults if they experienced them at all. After all, these cepan were specifically for the lorics that would replace the elders once day. it mustve be like getting put into a sort of royal guard (even if some didnt know). They remember lorien as perfect and resource rich and wonderful meanwhile, i havent read the supplemental materials much but when lexa was introduced i read a bit on her wiki that her brother died while training with his legacies because his cepan pushed him too hard i promise you thats a story none of them would ever hear In the end the seven books come off as myth of the triumph of the end-lings and the birth of their world anew on earth Except Earthlings didnt have a say in it Except the Garde are capable of acting unilaterally however they see fit and the only consolation we have is platitudes like how "they're the good guys" and Adam once saying "it seems like you loric are born with compassion in your hearts"

the Authors did a pretty good job at cracking this idea of the good guys as perfect because there ARE bad garde, the only people who remember the Losing side of the war were CHILDREN who were shaped by the ones who raised them and the environment they were raised WITHIN, and the fact that trueborn mogadorians dont just burst into consequence-free ash when they die I must addendum this with the fact that a lot of this can be chalked up to retcon, but in a watsonian viewing of this story (viewing it from the perspective of the narrative's intenal logic within the fourth wall) Lorien Legacies reads like a perfectly tragic and fraught mythological origin story with clear heroes and villains written by a biased source, with clear holes that could be analyzed by someone to see where historical fact could clash against the truths of the situation and paint things in a different light

Sandor: Guess who just found out the difference between wax paper and parchment paper the hard way?

Nine: Wait, what’s the difference?

Sandor: One you can use in the oven safely, and the other you can also use in the oven... if the thing you are trying to make happens to be fire.

Nine: They ask me how I manage my kids so easily

Nine: The secret is, I don’t. I have no control over kids whatsoever

Nine: One time, Nigel called my name and when I showed up to see what was going on, Isabela shot me in the throat with a nerf gun

Five, on several occasions: what’s up guys, I’m back The others: what the- you can’t be here, you’re dead. We literally saw you die Five: death is a social construct
