something about that quote that's like 'sophisticated language is the product of isolation' and nova's extensive vocabulary

[renegades-garbage]

can someone scream with me how beautiful the moment with nova and adrian was in the last scene of archenemies? because i have seen no one talk about it, and it may be my favorite scene with them (besides them falling asleep together, her falling asleep to his heartbeat, the betrayal(s), the “it was real” scene, nova teaching adrian to shoot and him getting distracted by her, adrian healing her wounds, the “maybe i want you to be mine” scene, and, finally, both scenes where they kiss). can you tell how much i am obsessed with them? it’s just so beautiful that she, his enemy (even if he does know that he is promising “to rip her [nightmare] apart” and nightmare is nova) was the first person that he went to. that the first person he went to was nova. god, they are fucking gorgeous and the scene was fucking perfection. back to my point, i love how they are both positioned, with him sitting and leaning his head into her stomach, and then his hands gripping her waist so hard that her shirt bunches. the way that it is described from nova’s point of view is so fucking beautiful, “adrian extended his arms and nova couldn’t resist the pull of them.” as if he is her gravity. and for adrian, nova is someone who grounds him. when he is in so much pain from max almost dying, he turns to nova, “she went to him and he wrapped his arms around her waist, burying his face into her stomach.”

i’m sorry but i want to hear nova artino say fuck

[renegades-garbage]

"not all men" you’re right. adrian everhart would never.

[renegades-garbage]

Adrian: Wait. Did you just flirt with me?

Nova: Have been for the past year, but thanks for noticing.

[renegades-garbage]

My brain can imagine the weirdest character designs when I accidentally skim over what the story said the character design was

like

literally in renegades

Phobia is described accurately in the beginning.

and I skimmed over that and was like "he has pink hair"

??????????????

WHERE DID THEY SAY THAT

WHAT

I mean I corrected this before I got to Archenemies

but

PINK?!??!?!

Book: He actually looks like-

Brain: Pink.

Book: but-

Brain: shhhh Pink.

#I DO THIS TOO PLS

Me, before finishing Renegades Trilogy: Oh okay! This series shows complexities on both sides but over all it echos anti police brutality shown in the "heroes"

Me, after basically reading "the anarchists were completely in the wrong and being a renegade was the 100% path the whole time": I'm sorry w h a t

#i literally love this series but the end makes me so mad #you know that lesson we’ve been referring back to this whole time? #we’re throwing that in the trash bc the renegades actaully are the good guys even thought they’ve done all this bad shit #like um.. what #im all for a happy ending but like that was not the route it should’ve gone

[renegades-garbage]

I went to The Eras Tour and I sang these songs in honor of my favorite Renegades characters:

Delicate about Nova and Adrian

Mastermind ´cause this song screams Nova

My tears ricochet Nova would sing this to Ace

Vigilante shit is also so Nova coded

#me too girl me too

[renegades-garbage]

what if i said i wanted to write for renegades again and what if i said i wanted some prompts?

Some questions about Phobia

Uhhh... hello? Yeah, I think I should greet you because it's my first post and everything.

Well, I was recently wondering about some stuff and I never figured out the answers so I'll ask you now, Renegade-Fandom :).

We know that Phobia was never hurt in a fight, right? Never ever was beaten by any hero (leaving out Adrian). And he can kind of teleport/(dis)appear through shadows. So, what I am wondering now is why the hell didn't the Anarchists use him to free Ace from Cragmore? Or, maybe more in general, why didn't he show up at the mayors' mansion to kill the Dread Warden and Captain Chromium? As we know, Adrians worst fear is being helpless/weak and Phobia could make it come true in killing Adrians dads while Adrian himself is helpless and feels to weak to rescue them.

Or am I just a big dumbass and overlook something completely obvious?

The same goes, by the way, for the fact that Phobia just disappeared when Team Sketch went to the catacombs. Like. Come on Phobia, you had one job! You can't even had been weaken because you've been litually next to your source of power (because, yk, he absorbed his power from Adrians worst fears who was standing not that far away of Phobia, if I remember correctly).

And another last thing I also think about is that Phobia didn't figure out that Adrian was the Sentinel. Shouldn't he feel some kind of connection to him? Or at least recognize the fears?

I got all this questions while writing a spontaneous scene with Phobia in a fanfiction and since I have now the opportunity to ask you over tumblr, I thought I should take a try (hope it doesn't come out in the end that I just missed some very obvious things ;).

#renegades trilogy #no bc your so right 😭 #loopholes man #i feel like he knew about the sentinel? idk tho

[renegades-garbage]

Ruby and Oscar have their phones full of funny and cute photos of Nova and Adrian, and they share them with Hugh and Simon, cause they are the biggest nodrian shippers

[renegades-garbage]

is anyone else genuinely unable to read that one scene where nova trips on the stairs while looking at adrian? that’s the strongest second hand embarrassment i have ever felt not joking. it’s not even like tripping on the stairs is the most embarrassing thing ever in real life but something about that scene is just alzvdhsvsksbdb

#renegades trilogy #nova artino #adrian everhart #archenemies #makes me sick man

[renegades-garbage]

Idk if anyone had noticed this before, but in Renegades, Adrian, Ruby, and Oscar are giving Nova de tour around hq, Nova is faking smiles and being happy and all that stuff, but the moment in where she meets Max and they start talking, the description is "Nova smile. Maybe it was the first real smile that crosses her face in all the day" or something like that, the point is, she loves Max with all her heart and it was always clear. And I just wanna put this out, bc how cute is that.

I need more interactions between them, I feel like Nova, Adrian, and Max (maybe even the rest of the gang) would cause so much headache to Simon and Hugh

#renegades trilogy #aaah i love them

[renegades-garbage]

Nova sounds as a zero and not an hero. Adrian was only thinking with his dick

#renegades trilogy #pls lmfao

Me Relating Taylor Swift to Renegades

This post will appeal to a very small group of people but i love it and im doing it anyway 

As i was writing this i remembered that i saw @amys-books27 do a similar post with just the lover album so i reblogged it and you should def check it out!

please enjoy my thoughts on taylor and renegades 

I Can See You (Speak Now TV)- This is very much serving when nova and adrian kissed and she was like ‘what if i just...never went back’ “What would you do if they never found us out” “I could see you being my addiction, you can see me as a secret mission” aaaaaah Basically Nova’s perspective if she was hornier

Innocent(Speak Now TV)- Winston my baby “Who you are is not what you did, you’re still an innocent” 

Timeless(Speak Now TV)- ive said this before but this song is so nodrian to me like the idea that their love is stronger than anything else dshbfuobfndbfhk

Delicate(Repuation)- “my reputation’s never been worse so you must like me for me.” immediately nodrian like come on babe

I Think He Knows(Lover)- nova babe...everyone knows 

This is Me Trying(Folklore)- Nova. word for word

My Tears Ricochet (Folklore)- This feels very Nova betraying the anarchists to me. “Even on my worst day, did i deserve babe all the hell you gave me?” “I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace.” “you wear the same jewels that i gave you as you bury me.” “I can go anywhere i want just not home.” “when id fight you used to tell me i was brave” ): The “wishing id stayed” line and “you can aim for my heart go for blood but you would still miss me in your bones.” feels so much like a message to Honey bc of their mother daughter relationship and it makes me want to sob. Also “You had to kill me but it killed you just the same” and “Crossing out the good years” sorry that one was long it just fits so well lmao 

Not a song but Ruby and Oscar are so 1989 coded its crazy 

Marjorie (Evermore)- Nova losing her mother figure ): 

Gorgeous(Reputation) - this one is really just the chorus but this is nova being unable to talk to adrian (bc hes hot)

I Did Something Bad (Reputation) - yk I had to add it. nova is just rep coded okay 

#renegades trilogy #taylor swift #nova artino #adrian everhart #archenemies #Supernova #Renegades #me trying to be more active even though this fandom consists of like three people

[renegades-garbage]

Unpopular opinion: Lover actually is an album that fits Renegades so well.

THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS SO BE CAUTIOUS

I forgot that you existed: Nova to Ace (at some point I hope)

Lover: Ruby and Oscar cause of the vibes

The man: Nova

The archer: Nova (maybe even Oscar because of the descriptions Nova gives about him at the gala when he asks her about Ruby)

I think he knows: "And boy he's so obsessed with me, and boy I understand" This gave me Nova with Adrian vibes

Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince: "They whisper in the hallway she´s a bad, bad girl" Nova and Adrian again

Paper rings: SPOILERS OF SUPERNOVA'S ENDING "I like shiny things but ill marry you with paper rings" Evie and Max, it's them (hopefully)

Cornelia Street: Ruby and Oscar, Nova and Adrian and hopefully their little siblings, and Danna and Narcissa.

Death by a thousand cuts: Nova to Ace

London Boy: "Boy I fancy you" Nova and Adrian vibes

False god: Nova and Adrian when they grow up HABHJSHHSHS

Afterglow: NOVA AND ADRIAN ONLY THEM IF YOU DISAGREE ARGUE WITH THE WALL THIS SONG BELONGS ONLY TO THEM

It's nice to have a friend: Adrian, Nova, Ruby, Oscar, and Danna, love their friend group

Daylight: Nova and Adrian.

Finding The Truth Part 2

sequel to this fic 

the description is on part 1

maybe ill write a part where they tell adrians dads idk yet tho

anyways i love you and hope you enjoy!

Adrian wasn’t sure what to think or really what to do at all. Nova, who had just shown up at his home completely unannounced, was now collapsed in his arms sobbing. 

Adrian had never seen Nova cry before, he got the feeling she wasn't one to cry in front of people often. A warm feeling ran through him upon the realization that she had come to him rather than being alone as she usually preferred, but he couldn't think about that right now. He also couldn't think about the fact that he had this strange terrified protective feeling that he didn’t quite understand but knew it definitely wasn’t platonic. 

Adrian took a deep breath clearing his addled thoughts. They were still in the doorway, halfway on the porch and half in the entryway.

“Do you want to come inside?” 

Nova nodded her head numbly. It was only then that Adrian realized she was drenched in rain.

“Nova you’re soaked. Did you walk here?” Another head nod. “Come downstairs ill get you some dry clothes okay?”

“Okay,” she said weakly. Adrian had never heard her sound like that. Frail and helpless, words he would never in a million years use to describe Nova Mclain, and it broke his heart. 

–

Adrian watched as she fiddled with the hem of the t-shirt he had given her. He wasn’t really sure what to do at this point. He still didn’t know why Nova was here and she hadn’t said much to give him any sort of hint.

She wasn’t crying anymore but her eyes were still red and he ached to bring her into his arms, though he refrained not wanting to make her uncomfortable or further upset her as she seemed to get overwhelmed by physical touch sometimes. As they sat in silence he couldn’t help but feel like he was doing something wrong, like he missed the ‘comforting your girlfriend (girlfriend?) 101 class.

Just as he was about to break the silence (something that he’s sure would have resulted in awkwardness) Nova heaved a sigh.

“I'm sorry for just showing up like this. I just,” she cleared her throat “um needed somewhere to go.”

“That's okay. I've shown up at your house unannounced my fair share of times.” He offered a weak smile which she didn’t really return.

He watched as she fought more tears and decided grabbing her hand would be acceptable. Nova stared at their joined hands and began to cry more.

“I'm so sorry,” she said again.

“Hey, I already said it's fine you're welcome here.”

“No not that.” she was shaking, struggling to get her words out. “I messed up Adrian. Like I really fucked up, bad. You’re going to hate me when I tell you.”

This only confused Adrian more. “I'm not going to hate you, Nova. I don’t think that’s even possible,” he confessed. 

Nova looked up at him her eyes sad. “I really wish that was true Adrian because I care about you. I genuinely care about you. A lot .” Adrian would be lying if he said he wasn’t a little shocked to hear this blatant admission come out of her mouth. Nova wasn’t usually one to talk about her feelings so openly like this. He had an eerie feeling that she was trying to prove herself to him like whatever she was going to tell him would make him not believe her. 

“Nova you’re kind of scaring me,” Adrian said with a dull laugh, only half joking.

To his dismay, Nova let go of his hand before speaking.

“I lied Adrian. About a lot of things and I don't think I can fix this.”

“I can help you Nova just tell me what’s going on.” Adrian was honestly terrified at this point but he wanted to be there for her, and he honestly didn’t think that anything she said could change that.

“My name’s not Nova Mclain. Its Nova…Artino”

Adrian froze. He didn’t quite believe the conclusions his mind was jumping to but he knew that last name. “As in-?”

“Yes.” Nova said quickly. “I’m David Artino’s daughter and.” she looked away her voice getting softer “and Ace Anarchy’s niece.”

Adrian gasped a little as silence settle between them. His mind was racing, his thoughts wild and overwhelming. This couldn't mean… She couldn’t be…. No absolutely not. But the more he inspected her face the less sure he was. 

“Nova…” he didn’t want to ask. He wasn’t even sure he was ready to hear the answer he already knew would come out of her mouth. “Are you-?”

“Nightmare.” 

A chill ran through Adrian’s body at that name he started shaking his head, not believing what he was hearing. He stood up, anger coursing through his veins. This whole time, the whole time the very person he had been hunting was the person he had begun to care about the most.

“Nova what the hell. So this whole time it was all a lie?” he thought back to the beginning of this conversation when he had thought she sounded like she was trying to prove herself. Prove her feelings to him. So was that real or part of the ruse? Why was she even telling him this? Why had she run to him?

“No, I care about you I promise. My feelings for you are real. Adrian, they lied to me.” 

“What do you mean they lied to you? Why would you do all of this just to confess?”

“My uncle, Ace, he took me in after my parents died. He gave me a family, made me trust him. He told me the renegades failed my family after my father asked for protection from the Roaches, but today...today I heard them talking. It was all a lie, Ace sent the hit man and I was supposed to die too. He killed his own family.” Nova’s voice was breaking as she cried. Adrian was surprised to find that tears were welling up in his own eyes. He didn't fully understand the situation or his feelings but for some reason, he believed Nova, and her still felt for her. 

“Ace told me the renegades failed me. My whole life I've been trained to hate them, to destroy them, but it was all just… manipulation. Lady Indomitable was there that night.” Adrian winced at hearing his mother's name. He sat back down on the sofa, though still not touching Nova. 

“She tried to save us. This whole time I've been fighting for this vision of prodigy rights that I'm not sure Ace even believes in. He just wants power. He doesn’t care about prodigies and he doesn’t care about me. I was so stupid Adrian. I just wanted him to be proud of me. I didn't want to fail him or the other Anarchists and I couldn't even see that they were using me.” Nova was crying so hard now that she could barely get words out and despite everything, Adrian still ached to comfort her. 

“They said they were going to kill me because I started to care about you too much.”

Adrian took her hand once again and she looked so shocked he almost could have laughed. 

“Come here,” he said, and she did. Nova crumbled into his arms once again as she cried, and Adrian couldn’t find it within himself to be mad at her right now, not when she was so clearly hurt and traumatized, and not when he was keeping a secret too. 

He had been so scared to tell her before but now it seemed so insignificant which he had to admit was a small relief.

“I’m the Sentinel.” He said.

Nova looked up at him, her crying ceased as her jaw dropped. “Really? Are you serious?”

“Yes”

“I thought they said that but I wasn’t really sure what was going on”

And then Nova laughed, big heaving exhausted laughs, which made Adrian laugh too. 

“I'm sorry.” He said.

“I don’t think you even need to apologize considering everything. I should be apologizing to you.”

“Based on what you’ve told me, which I still haven’t fully processed, you’re not the one I’m mad at.”

“Maybe you should be.”

“Maybe, but I told you, Nova. It’s not possible for me to hate you.”

Adrian watched as a blush bloomed across her cheeks. Great skies how can she still be so beautiful after crying for hours?

“Your dads are going to hate me. They might put me in jail you know. I would deserve it.”

Adrian sighed not really knowing what to say. He didn't think they would throw Nova in jail if she told them all that but with all the distress she caused as Nightmare he couldn’t be sure. 

“Well, we don’t need to worry about that right now.” He told her. He kissed her forehead gently and laid them both down keeping her in his arms. 

“Okay,” she said. “Thank you, Adrian.”

“For what?”

“Everything,” she said, before laying her head down on his chest and letting her eyes drift closed, allowing them both to fall into a quiet dreamless sleep.
