yeah. i think what originally stemmed from this was trying to conceptualize why the guardian themed rooms in jade's house are somewhat more related to the mythos of the betas than their own interests and trying to find a pattern within that. it definitely has to do with the perspective of guardians being deliberately abstracted by the perspective being from that of kids.

my working theory on a lot of it is i feel that theres sort of a meta element that skaia is a "story machine" and perpetuates itself through the heroes journey and deliberately ignores things and people that don't fit into it but on the other hand thats sort of explainable from real life context of a person writing the story ignoring things that don't matter LDFJAKLJJALGGJDALGALGJJA but i feel like in a story like this it could very well be woven into it with intention
