How the Anarchists and the Renegades are two sides of the same coin

Because “Why I’m so fucking mad about the end of Supernova " and “Why the similitudes between Ace and Hugh are literally poetic” was too long and fucking dump

Yestarday, I was having a shitty night, so I started to think about the Renegades trilogy and I wanted to share this fucking realization I had, that you all probably already had, but I want to share it anyways.

For the sake of this essay, we’ll refer to the Anarchists as the villans and the Renegades as the heroes.I know that the point of the story is that there’s no really a villain and both sides are wrong in their way, and it is the point of this essay too. Although, for me to explain my idea to you in the clearest way possible, I have to do it like this. Bear with me.

Now, one of the things MM did right was her villains. She used the “villan-is-a-reflection-of-the-hero-strategy”, which I’m a slut for. This (and other strategies to create a sympathetic villan) are explain on this site: 

“Picture your hero looking into a mirror. The reflecting image is that of your villain. At first you only see their obvious similarities. But upon closer inspection, you see how the two characters contrast each other in all their disturbing glory. These dark reflections equip your villain with layers of character that match your hero’s depth.”

At first sight, it may seem like Nova and Adrian are the ones who represent these reflections. Both of them have in common their alter egos they hide from the people they know in real life and differentiate in their motives to do it in the first place. But, when you start to analyze, this comparison wouldn’t work with them. On one hand, Adrian cannot be a villain even if he wanted to, and on the other, Nova is a mentally abused teen and villainize her would be fucked up. 

With this said, I came with the conclusion that the real reflection this book has, is the one that exists between Renegades and Anarchists, more specifically the one between their leaders Ace and Hugh. 

Ace started as a young man who saw a society that systematically oppressed a certain group, so he used his powers to spread chaos, and divide people so he could destroy the system, create a new one and liberate that oppressed group, the prodigies. We never get a super-specific explanation of what he was doing during the AoA, but we know he was the most feared man on the whole planet. He was able to end any kind of government it had existed before. Even if it wasn’t official, Ace was the ruler of the world because of the power he held. He would go as far as killing David when he became a threat to him and the plans he had for the future.

Ace was ruling his perfect vision of the world. In his head, he was doing the right thing.

Then, the Renegades appeared. In theory, the six of them have the same amount of power, but for what we see in the books, Hugh was the leader and the face of the organization. We can assume he was the one who came up with the idea of forming a superhero squad, so then, he was also the one who decided to take action against a society that systematically oppressed a certain group, using his powers, spreading hope and unifying people to destroy the system, create a new one and liberate that oppressed group, the non prodigies. When they defeated Ace, the Renegades became the government, and Hugh would go as far as sentencing Nova to death when she became a threat to him and the plans he had for the future.

Hugh was ruling his perfect vision of the world. In his head, he was doing the right thing.

THEY ARE THE FREAKING SAME AND FOR ME THAT IS FREAKING BEAUTIFUL I LOVE THIS THIS IS POETRY MY GOD THEY ARE ALSO FATHER FIGURES TO OUR MAIN PROTAGONISTS WHEN DO THE SIMILITUDES END??? I DON’T KNOW I LOVE THIS

From my point of view, this is the reason a lot of people are unsatisfied with the end of Supernova. Marissa Meyer had spent three books explaining to us how these two opposing sides are deeply flawed. The Renegades being in power by the end, with no change in their way of doing things is contradictory and lets the reader confused, if not angry.

Ace and the Anarchists didn't deserve to win. But honestly, neither did Hugh and the Renegades.

So yeah next post is gonna be about how I would fix supernova because i’m better writer that MM 

Note: I didn’t know how to put this on the essay, but it is important to mention that a CRUCIAL difference between Hugh and Ace is that Hugh was never abusive towards his son or husband, but Ace was constantly manipulating Nova and, well, killed her family and lied to her about it. People can argue that’s why it feels like the Renegades deserved to win because deep down, they were good at heart. And yeah, I don’t believe they were evil the way Ace was, but you can hurt people without realizing it at first. We all have done it at some point in our lives, and it is important to take responsibility for our actions and face the consequences they may bring us. 

Hugh and the Renegades took decisions that deeply affected not only Nova, but the whole city, and I hope MM holds them accountable for their actions in future works.

CALLING THE RENEGADES STANS

do you think Obsy would last? i love them, but ultimately i doubt they’d last.

[ask-habit-and-observer]

Obsy, what’s your opinion on Deadhead and Swain? And also, you and Noah would be ADORABLE together.

[red-dia]

I don’t know about the Obsidian theory because there doesn’t really seem to be a point for it anymore. There’s not really any indication that Obsidian could have been giving them the upper hand, especially since Dia was even able to use Obsidian’s swords to deflect the arrows. The way the Lunarians interacted with Phos also makes it seem like they’re the first gem they cooperated with. Red Beryl doesn’t have much development either so I always just thought of Obsidian as their sword counterpart.

oh yeah, imo obsidian is definitely acting on their own initiative, their reaction when sensei told everyone they should give up on him looked really genuine and i sincerely think they love everyone. We can’t even say their swords are shitty because that has to be the best thing they can have with their technology at the moment, so obsi is doing a rlly good job and we should be proud of them tbh

Though, i’m not sure about using the first interaction the lunarians had with phos as a reference, since we know phos chose to cooperate, while -i think?- the theory states that obsidian could have bee made by the lunarians to be sent on earth.. i dont know if that would count as a cooperation, since that doesnt involve obsidian’s opinion/knowledge of the plan.

With that being said, i think that theory was never meant to be serious (but uuuh correct me if i’m wrong, because i dont have the strength to read 4chan threads……). i guess searching for a meaning will lead you nowhere, just appreciate the mixed signals ichikawa keeps sending us (:

Are they the understanding sort or do they have trouble connecting with others?

Obsi is understanding and empathetic, but is stand-offish. She creates a persona that she presets to others. Her true thoughts and opinions are reserved for her closest friends.

[obsidianfr3sk]

4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 22, 24, 25 (no, no me pase <3)

@devils-on-a-stereo you also asked me 8, 9, and 12 so:’)✨

INSPIRATION. What inspires you the most?

I think the people around me. There are some people in my life, especially my family, who are just... pure art. I don’t know how to explain it x’d but when I begin writing is just like... I’m writing about them without realizing it. Which, again, it’s something that happens with my parents or my brother almost all the time. Ahora cada vez que veas un fic/historia mía, podrás pensar “Mmmm, qué indirecta le estará intento tirar la Obsi a su familia?” JAJAJAJA

Favorite POV to write in? (As in First, Third, or maybe a specific character?)

I really like to use thrid person, but sometimes I use first person when I’m feeling like it x’d especially when fics are just too personal to post x’d now, when it comes to specific characters... I’d say my favorites are Winston, Hugh, and Kasumi:’) (y cuando ando escribiendo crack me gusta mucho escribir desde el POV de Evander porque es tan caótico y mamón que siento que encaja perfecto con lo caóticos y mamones que son mis fics JAJAJA) 

If one cliche could be eradicated from writing, which one would you pick?

DSOFIUIFDS THIS ONE IS A HARD ONE. I don’t know if it counts as a cliche, but I’m fucking sick of that blank-space protagonist, that it’s just there so the reader can reflect on them:)))

Favorite cliche or trope?

Paralelismos entre el héroe y el villano claramente no te ha quedado claro???? When siblings hate each other x’d THAT’S WHY I LOVE YOUR DAVID AND ALEC SO MUCH SDKFJKSDKSD 

What is the worst writing advice in your opinion?

Anything that has to do with telling another fellow writer they are not a real writer if they don’t/do “x”. Like obviously there are some “rules” you have to follow, but besides that one, I see no reason why not to consider someone a writer. 

Is there anything you have found that you cannot, under any circumstance, write about?

Probably just something really gory or with tons of sex. I just don’t vibe with it x’d other than that, everything’s fine for me x’d 

Do you control your characters, or do they control you?

They control me, definitely x’d I’M SORRY I’M A PERMISSIVE MOTHER SDKHJKDS (si mijo wero pendejo quiere llevar a mi otro hijo a una cita en el lugar más random que se le puede ocurrir, lo va a hacer, ok????)

Best compliment someone has given you about your writing.

Don’t remember a particularly nicecompliment x’d but I do like it when people can tell I’m writing from a personal point of view or that they related to my protagonist. Don’t know why:’)

Five years from now, where do you see yourself as a writer?

So I hope that five years from now I’ve finished college x’d so I want to be writing what would be my first published work:’)
