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

[angorwhosebabyisthis]

Lorictober 2021 Day 1: Icicles

Marina’s grief was like a cold winter, Lexa realized as she watched the hurting Garde create an icicle to take the other Garde’s eye out. There was an anger in the cold grief that Lexa recognized. She shifted uncomfortably and reached out to put a hand out to Marina’s shoulder; she might not be the most sharing type, but these were children who’d lost all the adults in their life. She was the last Loric to really remember what it was like to live on the planet.

“Let him go. Trust your friends to handle him,” Lexa said quietly.

“They weren’t able to stop him last time,” She said and there was a frigid strength in her voice.

John lowered down to the ground. “I’m getting stronger, Marina. He won’t hurt any of us again.”

Five stepped back, slowly with wide eyes. Down the hall Nine marched toward them with a group of solidiers. Lexa stepped closer to Marina. “They’ve got this.”

She guided the young Garde away from the scene, holding her close to her chest. “I know what it’s like to lose someone close to you—“

“The invasion,” Marina cut in. “I know.” She softened a little. “Is it hard being around Adam?”

“It’s been an interesting experience. He’s proved himself to be firmly on our side. But that’s not what I’m talking about. I lost my brother years before the invasion. He was a flier, and they said there was an accident. I blamed the government for years, withdrew from society. I lost a lot of connections from that. I know the anger and grief you’re dealing with.” An awkward silence fell on them, and Lexa didn’t know what she was thinking. She didn’t know how to help Marina; she didn’t know what she would even say to her past self.

Marina stopped and looked up at her. “I won’t shut people out. Six is pretty good at handling that.” A little smile curved at her lips, and Lexa wondered what she was thinking about.

She swallowed. “Well, that’s good. Maybe you should go spend time with her. I’ve got some more work to do with Adam. He’s got a lot of useful knowledge about the Mogadorians.” She eagerly slipped away. She did alright with the situation. Zophie probably would’ve handled it better; she was always better at that stuff.

Lexa & Zane

After first reading The Navigator all I could think about is if Zane had survived and come to Earth along with his sister. Since he was about thirteen and had his first Legacy of Flight before he’d even leave Lorien, he’d be in his twenties during the time of the main story, and could be a big brother figure to the other Garde. 

He’d be a prominent POC in the cast, and it’d be cool to see him surviving and developing his Legacies while he’s on the run with Lexa - who’d probably teach him to hack like she could. Seeing that he’d have all his Legacies developed by the time of the main story, he’d be a huge help to the others, helping them train to master their Legacies. 

After the war ends I see him as a professor at the school, alongside Nine and Lexa.

Hey just a friendly reminder here per the novella "The Navigator": Lexa had never seen pale skin before, ergo there were no white people on Lorien

Lorien is a dystopia in the same way Mogadore is a dystopia send post pin to profile

[ll-but-its-random]

Lexa: WHY IS THE SCHOOL ON FIRE?! Isabela: I accidentally left the gas on. Taylor: We had an accident in the chemistry lab. Nigel: I dropped my latest mix tape. Lexa: Nine, please tell me what happened. (Flashback to Isabela and Taylor arguing with Nigel that it was impossible to light a fire extinguisher on fire.) Nine: I don’t remember.

OG Garde living arrangements post GenOne:

Ella, John, Marina - they were living there while building the place and ended up moving into the first house they built. It’s the closest to the cave

Six, Sam, Nine - live across the street from Ella and co. Six and Sam are together because they’re a couple. Nine is there because it was empty when he arrived (didn’t want to live with Ella, John, and Marina cause it was pretty full)

Malcolm lives on his own down the street a little ways. He’s never there though cause he’s always at the lab (which is in the cave somewhere - you know they have it)

idrk where Lexa lives, probably in an apartment within the command center where John used to live. That or she lives a comparatively normal life post GenOne and has a house some distance away

Bonus: the houses are done cookie cutter style with gradual changes as you move down the road because designing and building houses is hard and John didn’t really know what he was doing. He had help and the houses are nice but they’re very,,,generic

Also the community planning is shit for the first couple blocks, then John figured some things out and it got better from there (room for improvement though! There’s a half dozen buildings clumped together because The Building Team didn’t realize they were needed until people actually arrived)
