My understanding from how things are phrased in scenes where like, Kai is taking to other leaders of Earth, as well as a couple scattered references to places, is at some point likely after the fourth world war when they were really striving for peace they reduced the overall number of countries down to I think it was 6. I think the countries we have now are meant to be thought of as provinces or states, if I remember right Japan and Canada are even referred to as provinces of the Eastern Commonwealth and UK respectively. I always assumed France was just a province of the European Federation, I think some of the stuff in Scarlet with comms she gets has the "EF" bit after "France" when it mentions the address of something.

it’s still so ridiculous that Dr. Erland was like “ok Cinder meet me in Africa” as if that’s not a whole continent 😭 and no other details, not a city or even a country (if they even have those in the African Union bc i think the Eastern Commonwealth doesn’t rlly have countries bc it’s never mentioned and Kai is the emperor of the entire area, but it’s also specified that Scarlet lives in France so the Eastern Confederation has countries, so i guess some continents do and some don’t??)

Probably Scarlet, then Thorne, then Cinder for top 3 swearers

the lunar chronicles and everything’s the same but they’re allowed to curse

Thorne, thinking that Scarlet is Princess Selene bc she has no hospital records: I've connected the dots

Cinder, actually Princess Selene: You haven't connected shit

Thorne: I've connected them

Okay but can we talk about how beautiful of a title Empress Selene is? Like Emperor Kaito and Empress Selene??? That’s such a gorgeous pair of names. Also the fact that Cinder has a cool name (Cinder obvi) and a fancy royal name (Selene), is also dope. She gets the best of both worlds *que Hannah Montana

I think social media would really lean into that Hannah Montana idea, to the point that it's a running joke (John Cena level) that Selene and Cinder are completely different people. e.g:

Comic Adaptation of "Cinder" Chapter 1!

Hello world! I finally decided to post a comic adaptation of the first chapter. Since the language of my books is not English, I had to do the translation using Google Translate, which is why this translation may contain errors and be approximate (if someone has English versions of the books and you want to help me with a normal translation write to me).At the moment, I am already working on other chapters (I drew this chapter about six months ago, but I am posting it only now.)

P.S. I drew it with love 〒▽〒

guess who’s reading Cinder again

[sage-the-mage]

I think Winter will always be my favorite version of Snow White

Marissa Meyer said "Snow White can be a three-dimensional character but if you want that you have to let her be a freak on at least two different levels" and she was so right about that.

i dunno if more than two people on this site have read The Lunar Chronicles specifically Cinder but there's this one part in the book that has dictated how i treat electronics since i was like ten years old:

and she's absolutely right i do it regularly and it's astounding how often it works. the realest scene ive ever read in a book, which is hilarious, because it's about cyborgs and mind-controlling moon people

I know I've said it before but I'm saying it again, I just absolutely adore how Danny's eyes glow green in human form when he's getting particularly mischievous, not just when he's especially angry

Like this boy has a built in warning signal for when he's about to be a little menace to society and I love that for him

I have not watched the lilo and stitch live action movie yet. But…

As a native woman, the ending where Nani gives Lilo up to foster care so she can go to school? It’s disgusting. There is no native woman out there who would willingly give up their sister to foster care. Foster care, which all native people are terrified of because of the historical background where our children were taken by force. And foster care, where most of the kids in care are made up of native children, (Canada).

Foster care is the scary story we tell our children because it is a real fear.

That ending screams white person ignorance.

"An insult to practically everybody with any point of view at all" one of the most beautiful sentences possible with the English language.
