#renegades trilogy

[athena-xiii]

Shout out to all the books that were labeled YA simply because they were written by women but actually contained dark and complex storylines. Those changed my life fr.

[linkcalm]

have this drawing of Nova Artino and Adrian Everhart from Renegades by Marissa Meyer bc it's a cool book and I wanted to draw something simple today

[call-me-chips]

Me: Oh wow, a new piece of media I can watch/read/play! I can't wait to consume it normally!

My brain: Mmmm,, nope. Speedrun.

Me: W-wha?-

My brain: I need more of this content.

Me: But-

My brain: WE FINISH THIS TODAY!

"renegades is about grey morality" "oh the ending of supernova made the whole point of neutral morality completely moot" IT'S EXTREMISM. RENEGADES IS ANTI-EXTREMISM.

callum literally says to nova in archenemies that he disagrees with the anarchists because all they did was destroy, they believed the only way for the world to be as it should was to essentially cause the apocalypse. we don't talk about it enough, but the series DOES take place in a semi-recovered post-apocalyptic environment. and then the anarchists raised nova to destroy what little progress had been made towards recovery. yes the renegades were a very flawed system; the whole point is that they should be CHANGED, not DESTROYED.

NO BUT THIS ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️😭😭😭😭

GIRLS WHEN A CHARACTER WHO ONLY KNOWS HUMAN CONTACT IN A VIOLENT/DEFENSIVE WAY LEARNS HOW IT FEELS TO TOUCH/BE TOUCHED BY SOMEONE IN A TENDER/LOVING WAY: 🥺😩🛐🫣🥹🫠🫂🫨😵😪😵‍💫😔😫🤯😨🫡🙇‍♀️😮‍💨🫢😶‍🌫️🥲💆‍♀️😍🥳🥰💃😟🧎‍♀️🤩☹️😱😣🧍‍♀️💥

Like Marissa Meyer had the opportunity to make the character with the ability to put people to sleep by touching them also the most touch-deprived/touch-starved AND SHE DID and i think that's insane of her.

Bonus points cause this kind of characters are usually male but in this case it's a girl 🤌✨

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

ok so i’m rereading renegades and

i just think it’s kind of strange that adrian never thought about this moment again?? like, he never once found nova’s obviously sarcastic comment just a little bit suspicious??

[bitstitchbitch]

I desperately hope that the renegades are absolutely abolished in the spin off series. I need Nova to realize that, while the anarchists were worse, the renegades aren’t great either and her switching sides so fully and suddenly was just a knee-jerk reaction to leaving the anarchists and her and Adrian and the others rebel again at the council and put a real democracy with true equality in place. i also want nova pov again, but i know the chances of that are very low since i think we can assume it will be Evie x Max

[imobsessed123]

New Hunger Games book, New KOTLC book, New PJO book, New TIG books, New Caraval book, and New Renegades series??? My brain can’t process all of this

[amys-books27]

I can't believe I'm gonna see Nova again.

If you'd told that to my 13-year-old self, she would've died, and come back just to see her.

Like: WE ARE GETTING A SPIN OFF it's just a matter of time to see them again and know more about and, and, and just love and enjoy them again.

I'm so happy I can't explain. It's just a warm feeling in my chest and something that reminds me to keep going because the very thing I wanted to happen is going to happen.

I can't wait to see Nova again, but at the same time, I'll wait ten years if I need to.

Nova's character has impacted me in a way no other character ever did, has done and I doubt will do.

[randomlyblues]

How little stuff there is about Marissa Meyer books saddens me, I have no one to geek to about them. Then there's the other part of me that wants to gatekeep them.

More Renegades memes

Spoilers ahead

[knight-in-baggy-sweatpants]

obviously we as a fandom don't talk enough about how the memory and experience of losing a child(YES EVEN IF THAT CHILD CAME BACK TO LIFE DINGUS) has shaped Bruce's identity as a father, but i don't think we really have a good parallel for him, of one of his kids having lost their parents and being openly terrified to lose him. you would think Dick is the obvious example but we NEVER SEE IT. and after that you think it would be Tim but NOPE. and after THAT you think it would be Duke but NOPE. there's just a string of too-distant relationships where the opportunity was there but it wasn't realized.

not that i think their actual relationships are distant, but it took time for Bruce to be firmly cemented as a father figure for each of them. i also think most of them are very aware that Bruce can take care of himself, all except for Tim. and Tim had a while to get used to being scared of Bruce dying before Bruce was his father. the Drakes actually died after Tim had mostly pulled Bruce back together if i remember correctly.

anyways, all this to say that i think Nova is perfect for that role. all but one of her parental figures is dead, and that singular one is very much in prison and she never wants to see him again(Leroy in my writings).

And now here's the girlies version ✨ Turns out they have even more in common than the boys.

Boys version

Me getting on Tumblr to search for a book series I’m only halfway through:

I’m ready for ✨spoilers✨

[ilovenovaartino]

To celebrate the announcement of the Renegades spinoff/4th book here I have some stuff that I would like to see‼️

OG characters grown and more mature and healed after everything that happened in the trilogy

DANNISSA, I want more content from them bc the epilogue was NOT enough, I think their dynamic has so much potential

How did Nova and Adrian’s relationship developed after the events in the trilogy

Max getting to live as a normal child/teen and his relationship with Adrian now that they don’t need to be separated

Maggie as a teenager, I’m so curious if she followed the same steps as her sister, how are they going to find out they are sisters

Find out more about how Maggie’s childhood was, hopefully get to know a lot more about her in general

Nova and Maggie being the narrators? Nova Maggie and Max?

Maybe Maggie x Max romance????

Osby ofc, I can’t get enough of them

Jade and Sterling as prodigies, they would be SO chaotic

NODRIAN BECAUSE YES, I want to see Nova more open to show affection now that she doesn’t need to limit herself

What happened with the Renegades after the Supernova? Are they still governing? If they are, did they completely change their structure or made small but important changes?

How did the media react to Nova being accepted by the Renegades and her relationship with Adrian?

Nova getting used to having a home, eating normal meals and doing normal stuff

Sketch’s team being chaotic even as adults (I strongly believe and want them to be adults in their early twenties)

Anyways that’s it, I think they are a little basic but I am also trying to not overthink it so I can surprise myself
