#Teen Rebellion

[violet-yimlat]

I worked all day making this cloak. Now my mom won’t let me wear it because cloaks are “creepy”.

She told me to “fit in”.

Please Reblog to make my mom let me wear cloaks in public and to normalise cloaks.

Ahsoka and Teen Rebellion

Here’s a really interesting fact about good ol Papa George Lucas. He’s a hippie-a scion of 50′s hot rod culture specifically- who loves teen rebellion.  No Seriously.

“My father thought I was going to turn into a beatnik….I’ve always had a basic dislike of authority figures, a fear and resentment of grown ups.”

https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/politics-behind-original-star-wars/ Before SW, George directed American Graffiti: an early 60′s teen comedy that celebrates-and critiques-greasers, street racing, underage drinking, pranks, and rock n roll.

During that movie, a teenager, played by Ron Howard, tells his teacher to kiss a duck…without consequences.

Also, George let’s another teenager-played by Richard Dreyfuss, to vandalize an occupied cop car without consequences.

ANH is about a bunch of college hippies sticking it to the man…in space.

During Jedi, Obi tells Luke he has no choice but to kill Vader, to resolve conflict with violence. Rather than obey Obi, Luke disobeys him, chooses to save Vader with peace and love and succeeds!

So what does any of this have to do with good ol snips?

To begin with, GEORGE assigned Ahsoka to Anakin.

“[With Ahsoka] I wanted to develop a character who would help Anakin settle down. He's a wild child after [Attack of the Clones]. He and Obi Wan don't get along. So we wanted to look at how Anakin and Ahsoka become friends, partners, a team. When you become a parent or you become a teacher you have to become more respnsible. I wanted to force Anakin into that role of responsibility, into that juxtaposition. I have a couple of daughters so I have experience with that situation. I said instead of a guy let's make her a girl. Teenage girls are just as hard to deal with as teenage boys are.”

 If we interpret  Snips’ story through the context of George’s perspective, something becomes clear. I don’t think a single Star Wars character, save for Hayden’s version of Anakin, embodies George’s  love of teen rebellion-and his resentment of grown ups as well as Ahsoka.

Ahsoka is hotheaded, impulsive and of course defiant. She hates being treated like a kid, fears punishment, and constantly butts heads with the adults in her life. She constantly trash talks adult authority figures-Anakin, Grievous, Hondo, Tarkin, Palpatine, Obi wan, Vizla etc.

During Malevolence, Ahsoka saves Plo by defying the council. During cloak of Darkness, Snips saves Luminara by defying her. During heroes on both sides, she agrees to break the law with Padme for the sake of peace. During that same episode, one could say she metaphorically sneaks out of her home-the republic-and meets a boy in the process-Lux. She saves the citadel mission by defying Anakin. During the Padawan lost arc, she kills an aggressive father figure. During the youngling arc, Ahsoka straight up tells the kids “sometimes doing the right thing means bending the rules”. All of this subtext climaxes during her big arc in season 5. In this arc, she runs away from and defies a system of adult authority that wants to “unfairly” punish her. During this arc, Ahsoka defies Anakin when he tells her to come back. And the arc ends with her individuating from her primary caregiver-Anakin.

In my opinion, this rebellious subtext gives Ahsoka’s heroic feats a truly awe inspiring quality. As a kid, watching her made you feel like even the world’s biggest “brat”-an unruly child-could step up to the plate and deliver.

Unfortunately, all of this subtext only works when you are a teenager. Growing up means realizing that your actions have consequences and that all the rules teens stereotypically hate exist to keep people safe. Therefore, impulsive hotheaded, “rebels” like Ahsoka, or Korra, or KLK’s Ryuko Matoi, or LWA’s Akko, simply don’t fly in the real world.

me and the devil

More Cameron and Cassie content because I couldn’t sleep and this idea popped into my head. Progression “edits” for the both of them, along with a little backstory for the two. //tw:abuse, blood, alcoholism, murder//

Cameron was raised to believe she was an absolute gift to the world, that she could be whatever she wanted to be. She was a calm child, never really bothered her parents much, but they would have adored her either way. Now, as a young adult, she’s trying to teach her best friend Cassie how important it is to love yourself the way you are. She was the envy of everyone in her life, including Cassie. But she saw something in Cassie, however perhaps not the murderer Cassie turned out to be. “You don’t deserve what they do to you, Cass” - Cameron at 14.

Cassie, however, was not raised in such an environment. She was a pretty difficult baby for her parents, not what they expected in the environment they tried to provide for her at first. But realistically, her father was a drunk. And he wasn’t so nice to Cassie. Her mother tried to raise her as a boring beige child, trying to combat all the tantrums and emotional meltdowns by making Cassie look “presentable”. When Cassie was 6, however, her mother shaved her hair off. The bruises from her dad became more frequent, so even in the heats of summer she was fully covered. At 15, she finally snapped and murdered her parents. Cameron helped her cover it up, it was like it never happened. And when people asked what had happened to her parents, Cameron had her back. “You’re right Cam, I never deserved that” - Cassie at 15, as they burned the bodies in a bonfire.

But what if The Authorities are Left-Libs? Checkmate! Get back in your que for reeducation camp child.

you ever see a straight white dude express a political opinion and it becomes very apparent that they listened to rage against the machine as a teenager but they thought the line “fuck you i won’t do what you tell me” was like, directed at their mom

As someone who works with kids and teens I couldn't resist seeing this as a prompt! I know it'll have an audience of about seven people, but those seven will be delighted.

If you like Vulcans, Romulans, teenage lesbians, and fluff, this lighthearted Star Trek short story is for you. Enjoy!

Summary:

The bored teenage daughters of a Romulan Praetor and a Vulcan Senior Ambassador discover they have more in common with one another than anyone else at this diplomatic event. Featuring: * Dubious Haircuts! * Teenage Rebellion! * Inter-Species Hand Holding! * Vulcanoids and Chocolate! * Shenanigans!

i wonder if when romulan teens "act out" they cut their V bangs into a regular bowl cut and get real calm and logical. It's really choppy because they cut it themselves.

on the other hand, a vulcan who cuts their bowl cut into V bangs and tries to act more wild. the haircut is super precise and neat.

also these two are best friends.

Oh, also! If any of you intentionally make someone under 18 feel guilty for not doing anything that could somehow affect the election, I WILL PERSONALLY CURSE YOUR ASS SIX WAYS TO SUNDAY

Teens can reblog. They can spread posts. They can talk to their parents and adult friends, can try to change their opinion.

Revolutions are not organised by teens. Rebellion is not organised by teens. They can join, if their situation allows it.

But they have enough on their plate. Fuck off. They’re doing what they can. Not everyone can afford going on a protest - it a risk. Risk of getting caught or beaten up or getting homeless/locked at home. Not everyone can go through it.
