"Teenage Rebellion" [Fantasy High Junior Year Music Video] - written & performed by Sarah Barrios
Produced by Theo & The Climb
Mixed by Vic Cuccia
Mastered by Fili Filizzola
Lyrics:
I am perpetually confused
A misfit and a mess
Turns out life doesn't come with rules
But at least I got my friends
To help me see
That nothing’s as dark as it seems
We’ll make it through
T-t-t-takin over
Teenage rebellion
It’s our time
It’s our year
No more fantasizing about it
Everything’s about to change
We’re all gonna be okay
HEY! HEY!
I am a walking basketcase
Yeah I contradict myself
Kaleidoscope of all things strange
Through the madness i can tell
I’ll be alright
As long I put up a fight
So here we go
(So here we go)
T-t-t-takin over
Teenage rebellion
It’s our time
It’s our year
No more fantasizing about it
Everything's about to change
And we’re all gonna be okay
HEY! HEY!

Alright, time for some more quanglican analysis from everybody’s favorite second place winner of the Riz Gukgak prize for obsessive hyperfixation, this time focused on the lyrics to Sarah Barrios Teenage Rebellion. Lets get into it!
Alright, so we start out with verse 1. Pretty standard, but my brain has gotten caught on the “nothing’s as dark as it seems” line. Seems like maybe an indication that things aren’t quite what they appear to be, and that the team’s gonna need to rely on their allies, which would explain why so many of them have been taken out of the picture right from the start.
Okay, chorus time, and this is where I take a HUGE fucking theory leap out into nowhere, so stay with me, cuz I think the bad kids are literally gonna start a rebellion at Aguefort. I think Kipperlilly Copperkettle (and no I did NOT have to go look up her name, but it is absolutely wild that he has elected to give this girl 4 consecutive nouns as a name) is going to become a fascist dictator a la Trump, along with this android fucker, and the Bad Kids literally start a revolution to retake power along with the student body. I have…almost no evidence for this, but I am at least 43% confident we are headed in that direction.
Here we fuckin go baby!! Contradictions, strangeness, madness, we are INTO it! This is the verse that feels the most like its indicating timestream fuckery. Like, I contradict myself in particular is VERY wibbly wobbly, like “ooh, are we gonna get some self-on-past-self pvp? Are we fucking with the timestream?”
Anyways, thats the analysis! The quanglican reformation is upon us!

Actually wait something else that supports my "Sarah's story is a parallel to Bullfrog's story" theory and my "Bullfrog's mother was an assassin" theory
Sarah looks nothing like Sam
From what I've gathered regarding Splinter cell lore is that , despite being important to the main character and mother of his child, Regan Burns never had a physical appearance in any games, her physical appearance is left more or less blank
In most media , Sarah is a white woman with dark hair while in CLH Sarah is a brown woman with silver hair
However in both games and CLH, Sam is a white man with dark hair
While Sam in CLH isn’t an exact copy of his video game counterpart, Sam and Sarah in the splinter cell series do have a much stronger family resemblance to each other than that of their counterparts in the remixed universe
That’s….. weird, right? Like , it’s an odd creative choice to have Sarah be so drastically different to her game version that even her race is different while Sam , her father, still resembles the character he’s originally remixed from
While concept art did explore other options regarding her hair eye, and skin colour, including pale skin and dark hair like her game version, Sarah having pale hair specifically seemed like a design element the crew felt strongly towards and wanted to use
Yes the Warden being Sarah Fisher, the daughter of Sam Fisher, is meant as a plot twist. HOWEVER, we don’t learn about Sam’s existence until Sarah explains her backstory , meaning the crew could’ve given Sam some traits to better reflect his blood connection to his daughter in this universe
Sarah’s lack of physical resemblance to her father may have some narrative symbolism to it, the most obvious being how drastically different she and her father’s morals are. However, I also think it ties back to my theory that Regan was a Templar and was the one who gave Sarah her beliefs in life that lead to her behaviour in the show proper
Sarah didn’t just inherited Regan’s Templar status and beliefs , Sarah also physically resembles her mother more than her father
I know this is completely random to bring up, but I’m making a Kingdom Hearts reference
Specifically, Xehanort, a villain whose prominent features is his silver hair and gold eyes combo
Now obviously Ubisoft has no rights to use anything Kingdom hearts related , and so I seriously doubt we’ll see a flashback of Sam making out with a Xehanorted Regan in season two (don’t ask what Xehanorted is if you never played KH, it’s hard to explain)
The reason I’m bringing him up is to point out that while Captain Laserhawk is a show about video games, it’s specifically an anime show about video games
I can’t find anything regarding his opinion on the KH franchise itself, though Adi did talk about how Rodger Rabbit was an inspiration for CLH, another massive crossover story owned by Disney. Considering how he likes to tip his toes into all sorts of geeky stuff, it’s unlikely he hasn’t encountered the Kingdom Hearts franchise
I think the Templars may be inspired by Xehanort to a degree
A majority of the human characters (both who have a narrative role and background role) shown in the CLH universe thus far have natural hair and eye colours
While there’s outliners such as Pagan Min and Mute having pink hair, those two are easily explained by the existence of hair dye
Sarah however, was born with gold eyes and silver hair
While I don’t think every member of the board of directors/templar order have a sun kissed complexion under those masks like Sarah does, I do think it’s likely that gold eyes and silver hair is a common trait they share under those masks
And we know from the manga that Eden is practicing some form of eugenics with how they specifically took Dolph from his own mother for having good genetics, it’s likely that the board keeps heavy tabs on people that have Templar DNA within them
“Okay so how does Bullfrog’s mother fit into this-“ you notice how Bullfrog is one of the more feminine looking male characters in the show?
It may have just been me who originally mistook him for being a girl before the show actually came out, but I don’t think it’s an accident that he has feminine/softer leaning design elements. It’s even pointed out by the crew they specifically designed Bullfrog to be cute , you can even see that reflected throughout Bullfrog’s concept art
So since Sarah parallels Bullfrog, and she both took her mother’s ideals and inherited most of her physical traits from her, than it’s likely Bullfrog not only took after his mother in her beliefs, but also has a very strong resemblance to his mother
Basically, Bullfrog’s mama was a cute assassin milf
