#Captain Chromium

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

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!

It's been forever since I read Renegades last but I can't stop thinking about how Max was in the quarantine at headquarters and people just. Didn't know why. Bc it was "top secret information." So people just knew Simon and Hugh were his dads. And he was just. There.

Imagine you go into work and your boss's son is in a cage and no one can tell you why. Like huh

[ashaler]

wait,,,, if captain chromium just has a layer of chromium under his skin, then couldnt someone just take a magnet to him or something? would be a lot easier than taking a whole trilogy to plan it all out, i mean,,

[afairywithacrown]

everytime they describe captain chromium i just can’t help to think of this guy

[incorrect-renegades-quotes]

Hugh: I have an excellent gaydar! If someone’s gay, I can always tell within-

Tamaya: Simon’s been in love with you for years.

Hugh: w h a t

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

Another Cosmere Inktober sketch finished. Ignore the fact it's now April and my last one was December and the sketch was done in October. Just look at my take on Cyberpunk Mistborn Hoid.

Day 23 Pitch

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!

[bornofsteelblood]

Just a thought: Captain Phasma but wearing some spicy lingerie. The end.

Okay I’ll sin on a Monday. I HAVE thought about this and I’m so glad you’ve brought this up. 💜 Feel free to fuel this discussion more and give me insights lol

I’ve always loved the idea of Phasma wearing silks as opposed to lace when it comes to lingerie. I have a head cannon that her cape is made from silk & velvet because she has an affinity for it. It contrasts against the cold and hard metal that she always wears. So she enjoys wearing it underneath her suit when she goes out with her SO and you’d only get to see the set when she has nothing else but her blazer draped around her shoulders.
