11. Conceal, don't feel, don't let Big Brother know!

"Every move you make is scrutinized by someone on the other side of a telescreen. Conceal your hatred for the Party and do not allow your true feelings to be portrayed on your face. One tell-tale expression and you have built your own coffin." - Elsa

10. Look at Eurasian soldiers and wish you were part of their world

"Accept nothing for what it is depicted to be. Continuously question all aspects of life in Oceania and dare to wonder about life in Eurasia and Eastasia. You will come to find that the citizens of these superpowers are NOT your true enemies." - Ariel

9. Find that you can change - Big Brother will hate that!

"Learn to accept change. In fact, embrace it. The Party wants to preserve stability and a constant grasp of power. Separate the present from the past and realize that the past does not dictate the present or the future; people can change. Circumstances can change. The world has not always been in this condition, nor does it always have to be.”- Belle

8. Dig a little deeper, beyond those Party slogans

"From your birth you were fed a rigid, unwavering doctrine and that has influenced your entire perspective on life. You must distance yourself from Party beliefs to discover who you truly are as an individual being. The Party wants to destroy the individual - don't let them! You will discover your definitive goals through the discovery of your true needs (and it's nothing the Party can give you!)." - Tiana

7. Though you hunger for a comrade, do not take the bite!

"It is wisest to keep your rebellious thoughts to yourself. You cannot be sure if someone is a member of the Thought Police or not so be careful of whom you trust. As you will eventually end up in their hands, try and delay the inevitable for as long as possible so that you can achieve successful rebellion." - Snow White

6. You must keep on believing - in humans and not things

"The Party has absolute control of all material things. They will manipulate and destroy these things as they please so do not become too attached to worldly possessions. Instead, hold fast to your beliefs and remain hopeful. When the Party has broken your spirit, they will have defeated you." - Cinderella

5. Bring honour to us all (by any means....)

"In order to rebel against the Party, you will have to defy laws that you would not have dared to cross in the past. You will incriminate yourself by doing so but remind yourself that your actions are part of something far greater than anything you could imagine. People who have yet to be born will one day be grateful for the soon-to-be unpersons like you." - Mulan

4. Cherish your new fantastic point of view

“You do not know for how long you will survive as a Thought Criminal. It could be six years, it could be six days. But with all certainty you must know that you will not be able to avoid the Ministry of Love indefinitely. So enjoy your time in rebellion. It will be the most freeing time you will ever experience. If you enjoy your new life, you will not regret your choices when you are captured and ultimately killed." - Jasmine

3. The Party knows you will prick your finger

Tumblr / Via tumblr.com

"The Party will be aware of your thoughtcrime as you commit it and furthermore, they want you to commit thoughtcrime so that they can persecute you for doing so. The Party foresees this criminal activity so be aware that when you are lured to thoughtcrime you are simply taking their bait. Do not underestimate their motives or their power." - Aurora

2. Find hope in nature and its lack of Big Brother

Tumblr / Via tumblr.com

"If beauty still exists in Oceania, it lies in nature. The Party strives to destroy all beauty so appreciate the wonders of nature as an act of rebellion. You will find comfort in the knowledge that nature is an aspect of life that is far beyond the clutches of the Party. Nature has withstood the test of time and your ideals are capable of such a feat, as a flower dies and yet its beauty lives on in its successors." - Pocahontas

1. Be brave until your final confession-filled breath

Tumblr / Via tumblr.com

"If you are not realistic about your capabilities, you will only end up disappointed. It is e unlikely that you will see palpable change in your own lifetime. You must persist in your rebellion not for the rewards you can gain, but for the possibility of a different world in the future. You will die. The Thought Police will find you, you will be sent to the Ministry of Love, and you will be killed. But when you do die, try to keep rebellion in your heart and the Party will NOT have triumphed over you." - Merida

Guiding advice from the Princesses themselves! It is up to you now. Choose rebellion. Choose to believe in your own thoughts when every aspect of Party life is telling you not to. Pour a cup of Victory Gin and raise it to Big Brother for the final time; did he ever even exist? There - your first act of thoughtcrime.
