Renegades scenes I would LOVE to see fanart of:

The dinner scene, there is not a single fanart of that scene

The scene after the library one where Hugh hugs Adrian

The scene in the carnival after Nova shoots The Detonator where Adrian says that he’s going to carry Nova to safety and she just slumps in his arms

The moment where Adrian sees Nova walking through the door in the gala and he’s in shock

The scene where Nova helps Max after Frostbite harms him

The scene at the end of the last chapter in Supernova where Nova says “Captain, what would you think if a villain happened to fall in love with your son”

THE OSBY KISS

The trials

[mikodrawnnarratives]

Renegades Series - Marissa Meyer

This was my favorite series I read this year. All my life I’ve looked for superhero novels, but there weren’t really any in the mainstream. And while I’ve learned to enjoy Graphic Novels this past year, I still don’t fall into those the same way I do with books. Finding Marissa Meyer’s Renegades series was such a fun experience for me because of that.

Nova being a villain at the start shifts the perspective of the book and raises a lot of questions as to whether the heroes are actually the good guys. Moving from Renegades to Arch-Enemies to Supernova, Meyer creates a really interesting world of superpowered people and the struggles that go with keeping people safe in such a world, especially when the government is being run by people with powers.

The characters are really where the series shines. Nova/Nightmare/Insomnia and Adrian/Sketch/Sentinel are the two main characters whose perspectives we see. Both of them have secrets that they’re keeping from each other and the Renegades as a whole, leading to much of the tension in the book. They are one of the best pairs I’ve read in YA in a long time and both of their desire to see the Renegades be better than they are is the driving catalyst for the series.

The supporting characters are maybe even more enjoyable. Max/The Bandit is my favorite character in the story. The rest of the team Oscar/Smokescreen, Ruby/Red Assassin, and Danna/Monarch are a delight. The council as a whole is fantastic, but Adrian’s dads Hugh/Captain Chromium and Simon/The Dread Warden, do a ton of the heavy lifting in helping to understand what the Renegades are and what they stand for. The other Anarchists, especially Leroy/Cyanide, help to humanize the other side of the Renegade’s battle and allow for Nova’s story to carry the weight that it does.

The Renegades series is one that I would absolutely recommend and it’s one that gives me hope there is an audience for books like mine!

WHO DID YALL PICTURE FOR THE RENEGADES CHARACTERS?? THIS IS MINE

Hugh Everhart, and also sorta Simon Westwood:

Max Everhart:

and then I realized he was white so I pictured Percy Jackson💀

Honey Harper:

didn't really picture her as Cruella De Vil, it's just her ✨️vibe✨️ was Cruella De Vil

[dementedeagle]

I was watching 1987 Aerobics Championship opening on Youtube and wondered how the fuck those people could dance nonstop like that while smiling ear to ear. Then I suddenly had a thought: this is how Captain Chromium must feel.

IMAGINE HUGH EVERHART BEING BORN IN A WORLD THAT DOESN'T HAVE ANY PRODIGY HATING THING AND HE DECIDES TO TAKE AEROBICS FOR FUN. EVERYONE WOULD LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE NEVER RUNS OUT OF ENERGY AND DOES THE SICKEST MOVES ANYONE HAS EVER SEEN AND HE DANCES IN THOSE CHAMPIONSHIP OPENING DANCES YEAR AFTER YEAR DRESSED IN BLUE OMG

This Storm Will Slow Them Down

STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 00:37:18

[ilovenovaartino]

Something I find very weird in Renegades is the fact that Nova’s name is not in the report Captain Chromium did about the murder of her family.

I don’t know if it was intentional, if it was a mistake, or if it even has any relevance but I thought it was interesting.

Like, why are the names of dead people in the report but not the name of the missing member? Wouldn’t it help the investigation to know the name of the girl in case someone finds her?

Idk it probably doesn’t have any relevancd but since I noticed it I js wanted to share it.

[mikodrawnnarratives]

I really hope marissa meyer goes somewhere interesting with the parallels Maggie and Max have to Ace Anarchy and Captain Chromium respectively. They also have parallels with Nova and Adrian, and I find that interesting

Ace and Hugh: Polar opposites representing the two sides that are both corrupt in their own ways, yet both have saved and helped people in different ways. Ace helped start change for prodigies, and Hugh (and his friends) allowed Gatlon to have peace

Nova and Adrian: Generation after the first, and have been hurt by both sides in different ways. Both have their lives interconnected when they were six that one night all those years ago. And by the end, they represent a new era of allegedly the two sides joining and having peace, again.

Maggie is so similar to her sister when it comes to her trauma and upbringing. She was an afterthought of the renegades and its clear she's never really had anyone on her side that she connected with. She's been forgotten, similar to her uncle's motivations. She's facing an injustice, and the epilogue implies she's ready to take on the villain mantel. She partially has her uncles powers, and nothing to lose. She's motivated by survival and selfish intentions, the motto and theme of the anarchists. After all, the anarchists started anarchy over injustice, they had to think of themselves after being stepped over for so long

Max has been sheltered his whole life because of his powers. He's strictly been helped by the Renegades and in return, he was used to make a weapon. He's the most selfless character in the series, in contrast to Maggie's selfishness. He doesn't want to hurt others, but in order to not he has to stay sealed away from people. By the end of the trilogy, he almost dies in his most grand selfless act to stop the violence. He ends up with no powers, in return for everyone having powers, and he's honored highly for it. He fits perfectly into the role his father had before him. Hugh had a power that made him almost completely invincible, making him standout from all other prodigies, already a minority of people. Max used to be able to take powers, already unique, but becomes EVEN MORE unique once he's the SOLE person without a power.

It's already implied we're gonna get a romance between the two, given Maggie has a crush on him. They no doubt will have some sort of relationship in the books to come based off of what we've gotten of the two acknowledging each others existence in the Epilogue and Cinder's Adventure:

Epilogue:

Cinder's adventure, which take with a grain of salt cuz the specific events aren't canon:

And I didn't even realize until now, quizzical means:

So jkdfsljkdjsfl probably positive

The trilogy is built off of opposites and their attraction or repellation and I really want to see Marissa Meyer DO something with all this. I want to be PICKING UP what she's PUTTING DOWNN

Personally, I think doing another romance would be in character for Marissa Meyer but i hope she doesn't. At least not how she did Nova and Adrian cuz that would be too samey.

I don't expect them to be confirmed as Aromantic/Arospec and become besties in a qpr

I mean, i wish but

I'd also be interested in if they were doomed. If they could be friends, they almost WERE friends, but it wasn't meant to be. I mean, i wouldn't want a romeo and juliet situation but it would be different

Anyway, if we get a romance between the two then I'd still be so happy if their relationship acknowledged all of this. Theres no way it can go EXACTLY the same because Maggie and Max aren't the same as their siblings or their family members, and they have their own traumas. And I'll be looking forward to their characters being explored too. Like, I am very much LOOKING at this part specifically from Maggie's pov

The emphasis on "no one really noticed Max Everhart before" that intriguesssssssss meee

And it better show up in the book(s) to come

And side note, romantic or not I need trinket duo's relationship to highlight the selfish/selfless dynamic they got going on. Maggie makes Max more selfish, Max makes Maggie more selfless. U get it? God, I want that explored there is so much potential

Behold, my Phasma playlist. I had fun making it.

Oh this is so cool, thanks for sharing it! Some real bangers on there too!

The Knight In Shining Chromium (Series)

WARNING: MINORS DNI, mentions of alcohol consumption, threats, mean!phasma, betrayl, slight angst, flufff?, use of ocs, Phasma being tall yk :)

part two

┌───── •✧✧• ─────┐ The Presence of The Captain

└───── •✧✧• ─────┘

sum: after Hux has taken over y/n’s kingdom it’s up to her to try and save her people from the first order and evade a certain shiny armored Captain

(Not proofread)

Y/n rested in her chambers, sitting and reading in her spot on the window seat. A soft pillow sat in her lap whilst she flipped through the page with her nimble fingers. She was relieved to finally have a moment to herself and not be constantly bombarded with the First Order. If only she had trusted her gut and banished her royal advisor, Iris Firestar, then this situation would’ve never happened.

The Kingdom of Kalisto wasn’t in shambles, unlike other planets the First Order had taken over.

The recent invasion of their home was very much traumatizing, they lost many warriors that tragic day. The war was merciless, though, some were spared. Y/n couldn’t forget the moment they had breached the walls of the great Palace and captured y/n and her remaining family, which was her two sisters.

One older sister, Lanovah, and youngest sister, Danica. Their parents had died a few years ago and everything was well, that was until Iris had got a little power hungry.

Hux had locked y/n in her chambers with no way out, except for a window that dropped at least a couple hundred feet. So, unless she wanted to die a painful death, she couldn’t get out.

Knock. Knock.

“What is it now, Hux?” The Princess huffed, shutting her book with a slam, the door opened revealing the corrupt advisor.

“Oh. You.” She seethed, crossing her arms, not moving an inch, yet Iris moved quick grabbing the girl’s arm and yanking her up, not even saying a word. Her face was expressionless as she dragged her across the Palace, the Young Princess screamed and shouted behind her doing her best to resist her grasp. Throwing the throne rooms’ doors open she pushed her inside, shutting them promptly behind her, “You sick monsters, what do you want from me now? Money?” Troops marched into the throne room with an organized fashion, another one that looked like a trooper walked in behind them. The figure commanded respect, never faltering in their confident movements. She instructed for the troops to disperse around the room, her voice was harsh, rough, but feminine in a way, they all replied with a ‘Yes, Captain Phasma.’

Hmm. Y/n knew of that name, she could faintly remember her people gossiping about a highly decorated Captain from the first order

“I’m saddened, you think so lowly of me, Princess Y/n” Armitage smirked, his hands secured behind his back, he took a step forward, explaining the situation to the princess, no one in the royal family would be left alone without a trooper with them at all times.

In this case for y/n, Captain.

“I’ve assigned you, Captain Phasma, one of our finest” He stepped aside to let the chrome armored woman stand next him, her aura never fading, it seemed that Hux was being rushed and hastily sent them off to do what ever it is the Princess needed to do.

————

“So, what do you like to do?” Y/n asked, looking up at the tall Captain her armor was perfectly polished, so much so that she could see herself in the reflection. She’d tried to get to know the First Order Captain but it had been a few hours and she hadn’t said a peep. Anytime she’d need to go somewhere Phasma was always a few feet or…inches away.

She didn’t sign up for this! No, this couldn’t be happening her privacy was always something she valued. Now, it was ruined all due to that Armitage and this walking disco ball. She’d abandoned any form of manners, she prayed to the maker that she’d have the strength not to just smack the Captain in the head. Though, she was sure she’d be overpowered.

She opened her window revealing the glorious City surrounding the Palace walls. Her eyes stung with many emotions, she looked out at the city she failed to protect, she had failed her parents, her people, her oath.

She could feel the other woman’s presence in the room standing firm like a statue. She wondered what was under that perfectly polished exterior. Maybe what lay beneath doesn’t resemble the outside.

The princess huffed, throwing the book she was reading before onto a pile of them on the floor. She sniffled as tears began to resurface, Phasma turned her head toward the young woman, her face shielded her from revealing any sort of emotion not that she was going to show them any way. Her just smirked knowing that the princess realized that there was no way out of this. Surely, now that the First Order has the upper hand, this Kingdom will be a base of some sort, who knows what obstacles and difficulties the people of Kalisto will endure. Maybe, the First Order will receive a protest of some sort.

Only time would tell on how this disaster would end up.

Pretty short but proud of what I got together in a short amount of time!

[frozen-orbit]

Something i love a lot about Renegades is the amount of parallels/sometimes foreshadowing there are in the books. These are the ones i remember, but there may be more:

6 year old Nova telling herself to pull the trigger to shot her family's murderer -> 16 year old Nova telling herself to pull the trigger to shot Captain Chromium -> Nova saying "i pulled the trigger" after shooting Ingrid

Nova handing Adrian a gun in a flirty/playful way while teaching him how to shoot in book 2 -> Nova coldly aiming at Adrian's head with a gun in book 3 (please someone needs to draw this)

The very first chapter and the epilogue (the parade scenes)

THESE ONES FROM BOOK 1 AND BOOK 3

"we were all villains in the beginning" -> "we were all heroes in the end"

Nova and Adrian watching eachother across the arena in book 1 during the trials -> Nightmare and the Sentinel watching eachother across the arena in book 3 during that brief moment of wonder mid-battle

Nova trying to help an injured Max in book 1 and being found by Adrian -> Nightmare trying to save a gravely injured Max in book 2 and being found by the Sentinel

6 year old Nova putting Evie to sleep when she's crying -> Nightmare putting Magpie to sleep while she's crying during the arena battle in book 3

[angry-space-ginger]

Due to some unexpected spendings The first order will be dealing with some upcoming budget cuts. For the sake of our troops, they will not be taken out of their salaries. However, due to lack of funds, first order projects on developing new weapon’s technologies will be pushed back indefinitely.

If you have not yet noticed, the common rooms have been refurnished with ornate rugs. Please treat them with the upmost care as they were very expensive and handmade. If any damages are reported, the culprit will be reprimanded most severely.

if you question the existence or necessity of said Rugs, you will be sent to reconditioning. Thank you.

~ General Armitage Rugs… Kriff I meant Hux! No Mitaka dont you dare keep that in there!
