headcanon that there's not a lot of known, confirmed history about early killjoys. i mean, who would know that any of that is important enough to record. who would know that they wouldn't win the wars they fight, that they wouldn't make it through this night or the next to tell the story. so by the time the 80's roll around, no one knows anything about what came before, and so they start to change it. myths are made up and passed through generations, random things like odd shaped cactuses and mutated land due to a toxic climate are given mystical and, otherwise, clearly fictional explanations. almost everything is a fairytale but that's what makes it all the better. it makes it livable. gives sand pups something to marvel at and killjoys something to hold onto that even slightly resembles a childhood, though those are rare and infrequent. however much these stories are morphed through the years, they're carried on. they aren't history, but they're a proof of survival, and that's enough.
