#cadets are raised reciting “proverbs” that are things like advice on how to lead and counsels on the value of loyalty

Every day I must act normal despite knowing how the contrast between Memphis’s and Sana’s views of authority all traces back to how they see the same quasi-omniscient system exploited and by whom.
#🪪 Memphis Mylera
#🪪 Sana Staravya
#⌚ second imperial civil war
#===========================================
#context because I have been a very poor loreposter:
#M & S were raised in the same cadet center (a state orphanage that rears children to be military officers and/or sewage administrators)
#(the imperial definition of “military” is /weird/)
#it’s not terrible quality-of-life-wise but it comes with there literally being eyes in the walls at all times
#they’re not always actively watching you but if you do something wrong you can bet your tail they’ll find out
#discipline is handled by an impersonal system that visibly runs on paperwork
#cadets are raised reciting “proverbs” that are things like advice on how to lead and counsels on the value of loyalty
#this all ingrains it into them that the government/military is omniscient and omnipotent
#and Sana escapes this and gets adopted by rebels
#(and more importantly by flagrantly-lawbreaking rich people who forge her an identity without a second thought)
#Memphis can’t and has basically the worst possible career where she falls through every crack and is chewed up by every gear in the machine
#the only person she sees break the system is literally its god -- Presiding Imperator Cassius Banneker
#(I swear to God that at the end of the day he’s a good person but man does he do some bad things)
#their views come out almost polar opposites and /boy/ does it explode when they finally get to talk about them
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
#I wrote ten pages of analysis on this a few months back so I won’t spoil the rest
#🪪 Cassius Banneker
#(tangentially)
#arguably I should also cite the Keplers but I don't explicitly namedrop them
#nor do I describe them very well
#I’ll have to do a post properly explaining their weird social class (that I just dismissed as “rich people” here)
#it has no easy earth analogy (yet; I think an approximation may develop) so that may take a while
