I've Read All Of The Published Ender Books

Seriously if you want to talk about anything Ender (or pretty much anything Orson Scott Card) welcome.

So I've been reading The Second Formic War books, I just finished The Swarm a few days ago, and I have a theory. WARNING: SPOILERS FOR THE SWARM AHEAD While I was reading it there was some vague set up for the Battle School. Li talking to Bingwen about GravCamp, the training school in space to help soldiers practice fighting in space. Li told Bingwen he was going there but it was a secret because it wouldn't be good press if people found out a 12 year old boy was being trained for war. And I started thinking, oh my god. What if it wasn't Mazer that came up with the plan to defeat the Formics in the Second Formic War at all. What if it was Bingwen but because no one could know he was involved they had to give the credit to someone else. I continued reading and discovered that they are training a group of children who Bingwen is the leader of. Now I am convinced that it was this cohort of children that really discovered the way to defeat the Formics. That's why the IF had so much faith in the Battle School for the Third Formic War. Now I feel like the whole foundation of Ender was a lie because if it was, if Mazer was given the credit to hide the involvement of children in the Second Formic War, then it is.

My needs are simple and few… Food. Clothing. A comfortable place to sleep. And no idiots.

[Peter] could always see what other people hated most about themselves, and bully them, while Val could always see what other people liked best about themselves, and flatter them. It was a cynical way of putting it, but it was true. Valentine could persuade other people to her point of view––she could convince them that they wanted what she wanted them to want. Peter, on the other hand, could only make them fear what he wanted them to fear.

Ender’s Game Week Day 3: a song or poem

What Have I Done (Valjean’s Soliloquoy)

I feel my shame inside me, like a knife.

He told me that I had a soul.

How does he know

What spirit comes to move my life?

Is there another way to go? 

I am reaching, but I fall

And the night is closing in

As I stare into the void

To the whirlpool of my sin.

I’ll escape now from the world

From the world of Jean Valjean

Jean Valjean is nothing now

Another story must begin.

Reblog if you're in the Ender's Game fandom

whether it’s the movies, book, comics or all of it. I feel like this fandom is so small and I want to find more Ender fans!

I don’t want to keep dreaming these things. I’m afraid to sleep. I keep thinking that I don’t want to remember. My whole life keeps playing out as of I were a recorder and someone else wanted to watch the most terrible parts of my life.

ENDER’S GAME

Dear Valentine, you won’t be hearing from me for a while. I need to find out if I am as gifted at peace as I am at war. They have rewarded me with the rank of admiral and left me to my own devices, which suits me fine. I’ll travel the universe and carry with me a precious cargo - because I have a promise to keep.
