the foundation offers arcanists the right to exist as long as they follow the foundation as martyrs, while manus offers humans the right to exist as long as they follow them as monsters. neither side is looking for equality. st pavlov seems like it, but their relationship with arcanists is conditional and controlled. their goal is less "humans and arcanists living together in harmony" and more "lessen the threat and utilize the power of arcanists for humans"

its easy to think of the foundation as the hero since we're experiencing the story as a member; surrounded by other members taught by the foundation, but at some point, it becomes clear they're not interested in the lives of arcanists

#🍊fruit.posts🏀#reverse 1999 #bringing this up bc i saw a video that said st pavlov wants equality for humans n arcanists #and ik its oversimplified but they do NOT #more on the 2nd paragraph: the foundation's tactics to demonize arcanists with the storm victims #making a child fearful and hostile towards arcanists by making her treat storm victims (mesmer jr)#the aggression towards storm victim patients (matilda literally beating one of them up)#little things like that are sprinkled throughout the story #even if we dont think this or that character is bad its still worth nothing the ways the foundation affected their mindset #growing up believing that you are inherently dangerous and a threat to humanity and need to compensate for it is. yeagh
