I worked all day making this cloak. Now my mom won’t let me wear it because cloaks are “creepy”.
She told me to “fit in”.
Please Reblog to make my mom let me wear cloaks in public and to normalise cloaks.

Ahsoka and Teen Rebellion
Here’s a really interesting fact about good ol Papa George Lucas. He’s a hippie-a scion of 50′s hot rod culture specifically- who loves teen rebellion.  No Seriously.
“My father thought I was going to turn into a beatnik….I’ve always had a basic dislike of authority figures, a fear and resentment of grown ups.”
https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/politics-behind-original-star-wars/ Before SW, George directed American Graffiti: an early 60′s teen comedy that celebrates-and critiques-greasers, street racing, underage drinking, pranks, and rock n roll.
Tumblr media
During that movie, a teenager, played by Ron Howard, tells his teacher to kiss a duck…without consequences.
Also, George let’s another teenager-played by Richard Dreyfuss, to vandalize an occupied cop car without consequences.
ANH is about a bunch of college hippies sticking it to the man…in space.
During Jedi, Obi tells Luke he has no choice but to kill Vader, to resolve conflict with violence. Rather than obey Obi, Luke disobeys him, chooses to save Vader with peace and love and succeeds!
So what does any of this have to do with good ol snips?
To begin with, GEORGE assigned Ahsoka to Anakin.
“[With Ahsoka] I wanted to develop a character who would help Anakin settle down. He's a wild child after [Attack of the Clones]. He and Obi Wan don't get along. So we wanted to look at how Anakin and Ahsoka become friends, partners, a team. When you become a parent or you become a teacher you have to become more respnsible. I wanted to force Anakin into that role of responsibility, into that juxtaposition. I have a couple of daughters so I have experience with that situation. I said instead of a guy let's make her a girl. Teenage girls are just as hard to deal with as teenage boys are.”
https://gizmodo.com/george-lucas-spills-all-about-clone-wars-at-skywalker-r-5033398
 If we interpret  Snips’ story through the context of George’s perspective, something becomes clear. I don’t think a single Star Wars character, save for Hayden’s version of Anakin, embodies George’s  love of teen rebellion-and his resentment of grown ups as well as Ahsoka.
Ahsoka is hotheaded, impulsive and of course defiant. She hates being treated like a kid, fears punishment, and constantly butts heads with the adults in her life. She constantly trash talks adult authority figures-Anakin, Grievous, Hondo, Tarkin, Palpatine, Obi wan, Vizla etc.
During Malevolence, Ahsoka saves Plo by defying the council. During cloak of Darkness, Snips saves Luminara by defying her. During heroes on both sides, she agrees to break the law with Padme for the sake of peace. During that same episode, one could say she metaphorically sneaks out of her home-the republic-and meets a boy in the process-Lux. She saves the citadel mission by defying Anakin. During the Padawan lost arc, she kills an aggressive father figure. During the youngling arc, Ahsoka straight up tells the kids “sometimes doing the right thing means bending the rules”. All of this subtext climaxes during her big arc in season 5. In this arc, she runs away from and defies a system of adult authority that wants to “unfairly” punish her. During this arc, Ahsoka defies Anakin when he tells her to come back. And the arc ends with her individuating from her primary caregiver-Anakin.
In my opinion, this rebellious subtext gives Ahsoka’s heroic feats a truly awe inspiring quality. As a kid, watching her made you feel like even the world’s biggest “brat”-an unruly child-could step up to the plate and deliver.
Unfortunately, all of this subtext only works when you are a teenager. Growing up means realizing that your actions have consequences and that all the rules teens stereotypically hate exist to keep people safe. Therefore, impulsive hotheaded, “rebels” like Ahsoka, or Korra, or KLK’s Ryuko Matoi, or LWA’s Akko, simply don’t fly in the real world.

me and the devil
More Cameron and Cassie content because I couldn’t sleep and this idea popped into my head. Progression “edits” for the both of them, along with a little backstory for the two. //tw:abuse, blood, alcoholism, murder//
Cameron was raised to believe she was an absolute gift to the world, that she could be whatever she wanted to be. She was a calm child, never really bothered her parents much, but they would have adored her either way. Now, as a young adult, she’s trying to teach her best friend Cassie how important it is to love yourself the way you are. She was the envy of everyone in her life, including Cassie. But she saw something in Cassie, however perhaps not the murderer Cassie turned out to be. “You don’t deserve what they do to you, Cass” - Cameron at 14.
Cassie, however, was not raised in such an environment. She was a pretty difficult baby for her parents, not what they expected in the environment they tried to provide for her at first. But realistically, her father was a drunk. And he wasn’t so nice to Cassie. Her mother tried to raise her as a boring beige child, trying to combat all the tantrums and emotional meltdowns by making Cassie look “presentable”. When Cassie was 6, however, her mother shaved her hair off. The bruises from her dad became more frequent, so even in the heats of summer she was fully covered. At 15, she finally snapped and murdered her parents. Cameron helped her cover it up, it was like it never happened. And when people asked what had happened to her parents, Cameron had her back. “You’re right Cam, I never deserved that” - Cassie at 15, as they burned the bodies in a bonfire.

#zeno's art#i feel so strong 😭 when shes around 😭 she picks me up 😭 when 😭 i 😭 am 😭 down 😭#even i can admit that i love the full theme song. anyway!#for this redesign i also wanted him to feel less generic but in a different way to marinette#i wanted his civilian clothes to look comfortable and stylish so hes like ... a rich boy who doesnt really dress like a rich boy#idk#i got rid of the purple to keep everything cohesive and because it annoyed me#and i tried to make the outfit less simiar to maris too. why were they both wearing nearly matching jacket shirt jeans ensembles???#i also wanted to make his hair look a bit smart with the side part but also a little rebellious with the spiked hair#that also creates a subtle cat ear silhouette.#with the chat noir suit: the original looks very uncomfortable and embarrassing to wear for a 14 year old (i think theyre 14 in the show?)#i remember that one of the designers for itsv said that most teens would be embarrassed wearing a spandex/tight suit if they were superheros#and thats why miles wore shorts and a jacket and shoes over his#so i thought 'ill make chat's suit more comfy'#rather than his weird leather suit its more loose esp in the legs to make an interesting silhouette#the cat scratches on the suit + the messier hair also signify rebellion#and the belt mirrors that of my ladybug redesign#the graident tail is just to match plagg + it looks cool#ok done rambling!#miraculous ladybug#mlb#adrien agreste#chat noir#cat noir#plagg#zag studios hire this man

anyway my other venti's history shaping how he is headcanon is that as a wisp he was rarely taken seriously — people are kind to him and will put faith in him due to his being an elemental being, but between a little wind wisp vs a storm god, the wisp isn't doing much they're in the middle of the archon war, great strong gods are getting struck down all the time. (Even later as a god he's seen as the weakest god, possibly the god with the unlikiest of origins out of a group who were gods and powerful being before reaching archonhood)
But the bard treats him not as a contender, not as a god candidate, not even as their hope to take down Decarabian but as a friend.
So he doesn't take himself seriously either, he knows he has the power now yes but habits remain and he doesn't want to be a tyrannt, and in the end the most impactful relationship in his life will always be the bard who treated him not for his role or his potential but as a friend to love and cherish and understand

The thing is yes some kids never like certain things and that's absolutely fine, and as a teenager at least you should definitely let them make their own choices about what they like and dislike. But also, the only reason I like art galleries is because my mom took me to galleries as a kid and I hated being dragged around them because I didn't understand it, but all those years of exposure and now I do and I go on purpose. And mom also used to take me to a lot of plays and because I lived in the south of England Shakespeare was EVERYWHERE and I hated it because I couldn't understand what people were saying. But because I had the practice, once I hit like 15 suddenly I could follow the dialogue. So I do think there's this element that it's really easy to hate something because you're unpracticed in it and you don't understand it, even as an adult, and while I don't think parents should force hobbies and interests on their children I do think it's important for them to push their children outside their comfort zones.
