#the myriad tribe gets more and more insane the more i write down about them#theyre real meanies but theyre also so damaged on a bonerotting level#oh i like that word gotta use that in writing somewhere#like every single person in the myriad tribe is#deep down#not okay with what's going on in their tribe#but theyre just so forced to believe that this is the only way they can exist#they do assassination jobs from the good of their hearts#right?#they gotta let only the strongest survive#it's just the only way this will work for all of them#the people in the tribe are just so conditioned to believe this is the only way for them to exist that they force their children into deadl#schooling programs#forcing them to be in line in fear of them being killed in some horrific way#which is why there's such a push on obedience from an early age#“be disobedient and be killed”#which is terrifying but it's so deeply rooted into the people#that when dreamers like Klaus come along#they're immediately ostracized#which is also why kids aren't allowed voices in the tribe and are seen as less than until they've gone through training#to make their rebellion unnoticeable and teach them their voices don't matter#thus making them more obedient#so it's actually not “only the strong can belong” but “only the obedient can belong”#which#how am i ever going to portray this right through writing LMAO#ANYWAY probs to everyone who has read this far#i love the myriad tribe (as in. their deep worldbuilding based lore)#and i love developing them#and i love developing Niv and Klaus' arcs through it#cuz both of them aren't obedient at all and mainly Klaus dodges everything thrown at him in favour of his own mind
