one of my favorite parts of the lunar chronicles has always been how batshit insane it is. just the the genuine unhingery. the main character kidnaps her love interest from his wedding. said love interest stabs his arranged bride (a murderous dictator) with scissors at the altar. cress and thorne stay at an inn in the middle of the desert, and while he’s fucking around gambling she gets kidnapped into an underground medical experimentation human trafficking ring and bought by her long lost father. there’s evil moon people. scarlet and wolf get it on in a boxcar after like two days of knowing each other. 4/9 of the main cast aren’t human. cinder crashes kai’s wedding (again), murders twenty people, and jumps off a ten story balcony into a lake. kai keeps cinder’s metal foot so he can stare at it and long after her while she’s a wanted fugitive. cress fangirls over and stalks her outlaw crush on the internet for years and then bags him when they meet. not one of them is over twenty or mentally sound btw. no other YA series is doing it like that. applause

Sometimes found family is a lost princess who mainly identifies as a mechanic, an android who‘s jealous of everyones tasting buds, an emperor who‘s trying his best, a retired wolf mercernary who‘s actually soft, a no bs farmer girl, a hallucinating princess and step cousin of the other princess, her self announced very stoic very serious bodyguard, a captain who actually cannot fly very well and a hacker girl with major social anxiety

Oh and also the bodyguard used to unwillinigly help imprison the hacker girl

And the hacker girl is actually the long thought dead daughter of the emperors doctor

And the no bs farmer girl is actually the granddaughter of the mechanics princesses Guardian

Oh and also most of them are in love with one of the others

ok I love the lunar chronicles but… It was lowkey impossible to take all of Scarlet(the book, not the character) seriously when wolf kept saying things like “you’re my alpha” every five seconds 😭

im bored SO I MADE THESE

[lucksbucks]

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

have a some quick scribbles of the Rampion Crew as their energy levels:

these are 100% accurate, thank you for attending my Ted Talk.

today I’m thinking about how every single person did a double take when they saw winter because she is so beautiful. everybody but wolf. not a single glance at winter. he did not gaf. UGH I LOVE HIM. that’s the kind of loyalty I’m looking for in male love interests.

sometimes a family is a a bunch of wanted teenagers of the future that want to make a revolution in the moon

i should probably make a lunar chronicles blog to say all this shit but god. i miss them so bad. i need to see them on the big screen one way or another. i need to see kai and cinder's awkward first meeting and her - a five star professional mechanic - literally slamming his tech on its side in an effort to fix it. i need to see cinder crashing the ball in a rain-soaked dress. i need to see her and thorne break out of jail and thorne tell her about starting a prison riot over fucking soap while she just stares at him without a drop of amusement in her eyes, only for them to become best friends. i need to see scarlet aim a gun at wolf and hear wolf tell her to aim at his head because it makes for a more fatal shot, and the sick, nasty parallels later. i need to see cress and thorne stumbling over the dessert, navigating more than just sand dunes. i need to see iko get her new body and feel herself for the first time. i need to see jacin being a jackass to everyone because he's been raised in a place where being anything but harsh will ruin him. i need to see him helping winter through her hallucinations, the two of them holding back their affections at every moment because they can't display them without someone getting hurt. i need to see the final showdown, the "nice shot, cress." i need to see them all eating lemon cake at the end after weeks of eating canned military food on the rampion, eating with their hands because they all forgot cutlery, getting frosting all over their fingers. i need-

the fact that all of the tlc women didn’t have girl friends growing up and that the rampion crew women were probably the first female friends they had and shared a close bond with. scarlet says that she had almost no friends growing up, cinder had iko and peony but was verbally abused by the people who were supposed to protect her who was told that she was worthless to having cress, scarlet, and winter following her into a revolution because she’s a badass, scarlet (i think) had emilie but no one else, cress was alone in her satellite, and winter had jacin and selene but probably no girl friends growing up beside her short friendship with selene. god, there is no one doing it like them.

Thorne: (to Cinder) Excuse me? Who made you the boss of the group?

Cress: You did.

Scarlet: You said "Cinder should be boss."

Cress: And then you said "let's vote," and it was unanimous.

Scarlet: And then you made her this little plaque that said "Boss of Us," and you put little sparkles on it.

Thorne: Valid points, all.

Underrated moments in Winter we don’t talk about enough:

Kai and Thorne’s girl talk on the way back to the palace

Scarlet, from inside a cage, giving a lunar aristocrat a bloody nose with his girlfriend’s parasol

Jacin promising to protect Cress with his life

Scarlet hugging Cinder from behind and Thorne holding her hand during the raid on RM-9

Thorne punching Jacin in the jaw and then hugging him immediately afterwards

Winter and Scarlet’s talk outside the wolf soldiers’ barracks

Jacin driving a speeder up a stairwell in order to get to Winter faster and almost sending Cinder into cardiac arrest

Thorne just… chilling alone with Levana for the minutes/hours it took Cinder to reach the throne room

Scarlet from The Lunar Chronicles 🌙 This started out as literally nothing since I was only testing out Krita. Not gonna lie, even though the whole process was a mess, drawing on Krita was super fun. Have a good week everyone!!!
