#also the lunar chronicles series

[stardreamt]

Any book recs??

Okay so I have trash taste in media whether that be book or show or movie, but here’s what I got off the top of my head:

• six of crows obviously (never a wrong time for a reread)

• the night circus by erin morgenstern (basically if the gladiators were in a fantasy 1800s magical circus and they were also in love with each other)

• the if I stay duology by gayle forman (contemporary romance: girl in coma, boy play guitar; emotional roller coaster so beware)

• crier’s war duology by nina valera (sapphic sci-fi robot love)

• basically any thing by taylor jenkins reid (especially seven husbands and daisy jones; they’re the most popular for a reason)

• the cruel prince series by holly black (fae but not in the fantasy romantic way, in the actual complex evil fae folklore way; oh and enemies to lovers 🫡)

• the infernal devices series by cassandra clare (not to be cringe but the entire shadow hunters series has me by the throat. I am cringe but I am free. I already warned of my horrible taste in media)

That’s all I got right now 🫡🫡 I hope this helps 🫡🫡

Slowly collecting every single Marissa Meyer book as if I’m a dragon and they are my horde

[socially-awkward-pisces]

"So what fandoms *are* you in?"

it would honestly be easier to name the ones I'm NOT in atp I've been chronically book-in-hand since childhood

[prosebushpatch]

Alright, so, yesterday, I recorded every single POV in each chapter in The Lunar Chronicles like a normal person and that's what this blog post is about. So if you want to want the overview of me going pepe silvia over the fact that one of the love interests has less POV chapters than two side characters, boy have I got a post for you!

[localdorkincombatboots]

So i just went and reread The Lunar Chronicles series for the first time since high school and I'm so hardcore trapped in needing more content for it and i already read all the books including Fairest and Stars Above.

Please can anyone recommend any really good fics for it, preferably set post Winter and focusing on Kaider but I'll be so grateful for anything honestly

This part of Winner by Conan Gray is SO Cinder and her stepmother, Adri

[tayter-tot-64]

YOU SHOULD READ SIX OF CROWS SIX OF CROWS SIX OF CROWS SIX OF CROWS IS AMAZING AND FOUND FAMILY AND MORALLY GRAY AND THEYRE A BUNCH OF IDIOT LOSERS WITH TOO MUCH POWER AND ITS AMAZING AND YOU WOULD LOVE IT BASED ON WHAT YOU ASKED FOR

six of crows is pretty good you might like it :)

Hey bookworms

I've been looking for a book (can be a series, idm) about fantasy and found family. Yk the good ol' friend group goes to a magic realm, or find some ancient artifact, go on a quest to save the world or whatever. I also like angst and maybe a little bit of gore. But I also don't care if it's "childish".

For references, some book series I have recently really enjoyed are The Wingfeather Saga, The Lunar Chronicles, The Magic Misfits, Anne From Green Gables and The Chronicles of Narnia. So yeah, that's the kind of stuff I'm looking for.

Anyone has any suggestions?

[yellowraincoat]

Plot holes in the lunar chronicles that I’ve noticed on my millionth read through that WILL NOT detract from my enjoyment:

1) Marissa Meyer does not know how freckles work

see Cress having freckles despite zero sun exposure (but ig probably the exact amount of vitamin D she’s supposed to get) aboard the satellite

2) Cinder is wasian/more generally mixed raced and Channary looks so similar to Cinder that Kai sees a portrait of her and thinks for a moment that it is Cinder… but Levana is… white?

I guess the logical conclusion is that levana is also wasian, but I feel as tho that is not the authorial intent bc that is white woman behavior if I’ve ever seen it

the other logical conclusion and the one I personally subscribe to is that Cinder’s father had Asian heritage, but Channary and Levana were white and Cinder just… westernizes/whitewashes herself a little when she uses her glamour…??? Like… to match westernized beauty standards?

idk neither answer is particularly satisfying but I feel as tho the series is thematically stronger if the former lunar queens who want to do colonization, genocide, and imperialism are white women.

3) Dr. Erland should’ve absolutely infected Cinder and Thorne in that tunnel based on the absolutely unhinged and unrealistic but pre-established rules of letamosis

They were in very close quarters for at least an hour as he was entering stage 2 or 3 of the disease. They should’ve all been fucked. (Not to mention how closely Erland interacted with Thorne when they went to the labs)

4)… shouldn’t Dr Erland have had a perfectly good letumosis antidote on him (or at least on the Rampion) yk, from when he stole it from the palace and fled the country???

What happened to that huh? Did we just forget about her?

[ikosburneraccount]

sorry for spamming the tlc tag. but im not done yet

please rb and explain why. ill go first

[hazellevessque]

ALRIGHT I FINISHED CRESS

I feel like I should start with this post I made because. Wow. Guys that was my crack theory I was joking 😭

While we’re on this topic DR. ERLAND??? WHAT THE FUCK??? DUDE I LIKED THAT GUY CAN WE KEEP HIM AROUND A LITTLE LONGER???

Ok back to my actual thoughts I think this book is my favorite so far. I can see why everyone said they loved it

Honestly I really really like Cress she’s so relatable and I love her imagination

Also <333 Cress and Throne <333 I love them <333

But their age difference does make me feel a little weird!!

We had so many deaths this book what. Sybil, Erland, like damn people were dropping dead left and right

Cinder is still my favorite character, I don’t think anyone could make me hate her honestly. I really loved the scene where she went back to the apartment and glamoured Adri and then after she was like “that was something Levana would have done.” I got chills

INDIAN LUNAR CHRONICLES CHARACTER LETS GO EVERYONE GIVE IT UP FOR MY GIRL TASHMI

I was also not expecting the wedding to be in THIS book. I thought it would be the series finally but hey I’m not mad

KAI AND CINDER. THE TENSION BETWEEN THEM OMG. MY SISTER WAS ABLE TO TELL WHEN I WAS READING A SCENE WITH THEM BECAUSE I WAS GASPING SO MUCH

They stress me out but I love them

And every review (these are not formal enough to be reviews) I need to talk about Iko because she’s SO fun. I love that she got a new body and the way she mad Kai look away towards the end

Based on the one (1) chapter we got with Winter I already love her and I’m so excited for her to be a main character! Also I’m starting to see what y’all are talking about with her and Scarlet…

Anyways I’m gonna probably start the last book tonight…oh wow I can’t believe I’m already at the last book. At least I have Stars Above and Fairest after this

Bloom redesign!!

I said a while back that I would share them, so we will be going in season order for characters so I can explain parts of my rewrite that is being worked on. Meaning Aisha won't come for a bit but she will be present at some point!

Anyways, on to the headcanons and such.

As you can see, there are two different casual Blooms. The first is her before awakening her powers, and the second is when her powers were awakened. Her hair and pants are inspired by the 70s as I headcanon Bloom to be a thrifter and up-cycler. The bell bottoms used to be her adoptive mom, Vanessa's. She added the sunflower embroidery herself. Her shirt is a self-cropped City of Gardenia shirt, and she wears a green friendship bracelet that Selina made her. She will get rid of it at some point when she's at Alfea. Not forever, she just puts it away.

In her awakened form, she has a little flame that floats above her head. Not many know why, but it is a sign of her being the lost princess of Domino. When she realizes she is said Lost Princess, no one believes her at first because it kind of became a meme for people to claim they are the Lost Princess of Domino. Somewhat like an Anastasia situation where people did pretend to be her, but we're found to be fakes. It then turned into, "and I'm the Queen of England," type joke.

Her hair now resembles that of a flame in color, her nails are sharper, as are her canines, and she now has the elf/fairy ears. She also has new accessories. The silver bracelet she wears helps cool down her temperature since it fluctuates due to her powers being suppressed for so long. The necklace contains enchanted candy water drops that help soothe her throat as she is prone to breathing out smoke in her bouts of anger. These things happen because, as I mentioned in my original redesign post, each fairy and all magical beings have a drawback to their power. Even witches.

Small Headcanons:

• Has multiple versions of the Collections of Grimm Fairytales because the covers are different so of course she needs them.

• Loves Marissa Meyers, The Lunar Chronicles series.

• Sews pretty well and is self taught.

• Amazing artist but prefers to draw people more than anything.

• Anime lover, specifically Magical Girl Anime Lover.

• Is constantly baffled by the fact she and her new friends really do save the day with friendship and love.

• Starts a blog on the Realms Wide Web where she does a docu-diary of her time as a new fairy and such.

• Her full name is when she was born was Bloom Charlotte Feniatare, when she was found by Mike and adopted, it became Bloom Allison Gardner. Then, when she found out her origins it changed for the last time to Bloom Allison Charlotter Gardner-Feniatare. She wanted to honor all her parents by keeping the names they gave her.

• Not anything new, but she loves spicy food.

Next up will be Stella! I'll post her tomorrow.

imagine if you read the lunar chronicles but started with fairest then the main series.

reading fairest, everyone already knows that she's the villain. when we see 15 year-old levana wake up from a nightmare on the day of her parents' funeral, we see an evil person. when you read that first part of fairest, you see a traumatized little girl that's being tormented by her sister.

as you begin fairest, you find out more about levana. how she's in love with a married guard, how she's scared of fire, how she's obsessed with the inner workings of her nation, how she longs to be in control of it, how she longs to be loved. you also see how she starts to have something like a friendship with evret. and after everything she's been through, you want her to become better. you want her to find love and be loved and grow past her trauma without hiding in someone else's face.

but then she forces evret to marry her and you realize she isn't a good person, that her dangerous thoughts can lead to dangerous actions.

however, after this, her life only becomes better. her sister is dead, she's the queen of luna, and she's in a (supposedly) happy relationship. and you think to yourself that maybe, maybe, she'll become better. she has everything she ever wanted. why would she harm anyone else to get what she wants?

but then she does it again. and again. and again. and at some point you realize that this is no longer the story of a girl who is trying to love and survive and heal. this is the story of a villain.

you start with cinder, where everyone describes levana as this cartoonishly evil villain. and you want to go inside and grab everyone and tell them that she's not evil, she's a hurt little girl who just wants to be loved. but you don't, because you realize that that is who she became. she is no longer your protagonist; she's now the antagonist, and you must learn to deal with it.

you then get to the end of winter, where levana is forced to meet the girl she spent decades trying to hide. and, in a sense, you're forced to meet her too. you wonder if things could've been different, if levana could've become the woman you initially wanted her to be. but then you realize that it doesnt matter. everyone must deal with the levana who has (and still will) kill(ed) to keep her control. at this point, there's no other levana that you can deal with. you can't see her as the little girl, you have to see her as the villain.

☀️🌟☼🔅

Random Idea but with what I know about current spoilers I have two ideas. One is that Sun will somehow becomes the Witherstorm (I AM BANKING ON THIS) or he's going to be relevant to the Witherstorm of their dimension and be scattered through dimensions.

One of my most favorite series of all time is "Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles" and the crux of that series is they need to put someone back together and to do so, they have to travel to various dimensions to find the missing pieces of the person's soul. I totally see that happening to our Sun? I don't know why.

Even to this day, Sun still hasn't quite opened up about himself. Not to Old Moon, New Moon, Solar, Earth, Lunar, etc etc. I think the most he's been open towards thus far is probably Dazzle ironically?

I'm still getting caught up but I can tell Dazzle actually wants to get to know him so she's asking about him and he's honestly telling her. (also loving how Sun is spending more and more time with the kids in the show, He spends so much time with FC, Dazzle, Jack, etc. It's so wholesome) I'd say Earth and Lunar are in second place of knowing him best but they also still sometimes are kept an arm's length away.

Solution to this? Scatter parts of his 'soul' into the multiverse and make it the family's responsibility to find him! Heck he could even be in a coma the entire time they do this! When they find a Sun fragment they get to see his memories or feel and hear his thoughts.

In Tsubasa the fragments are called 'feathers' and they can warp reality, break time and space, or even gain sentience. I think it'd be so neat if one of the fragments of Sun became Dark Sun but I know it's not likely.

"I am doing this for Sun, Because I am Sun" vibes

Just an Idea but it'd be so cool if it happens!

My second Idea, has to do with a sketch I did a bit ago (still working on more sketches for it) but basically I know Sun's currently gathering power. He's a fighter and wants to help! His family is still keeping him away from the action though. It's not malicious and comes from them wanting to protect him but it's going to ultimately leave him more vulnerable and a target.

Dark Sun I know is tampering with dark energies, he's raising a dragon? He's associating more and more with Witherstorm energy and he still hasn't quite confessed what his motive/plan is besides the fact this is "all for Sun"

So wouldn't this mean Sun is going to ultimately becomes a Witherstorm? It's what the creator studies and the one of the main dimension is different from others so who's to say our Sun and Moon aren't also built different with different fates?

Creator created something specifically just to torture and wear Sun down but when you think of it, that's also what Old Moon was until they split. I don't think that was the intention but the fact Old Moon just decided to point blank torture Sun? Sus, like it was meant to happen.

Dark Sun I think needs Sun to be his pet Witherstorm, and he's maybe planning to use Nexus to make that happen? I just got to the point in the series where he just picked up New Moon from space and took a chip out of his brain. Bruh...he needs him but won't say for what.

I love it. Dark Sun my beloved what are you evil little plans <3

Hoping Sun doesn't fall into a Coma but it'd be so sexy of him aha~

I really like when Sun spends time with Earth and Lunar too it'd be so cool if they have an adventure to save him.

BTW I've been listening to Aurora's song "The Seed" and it literally gave me a big brain AU idea for tsams but idk if I should try to write it.

I really hope Sun ascends to some kind of God-hood like being especially involving destructive energy like Witherstorm stuff. It'd be so neat and sad if one of the nicest people ever became the ultimate judge, jury, and executioner-like being. It's especially ironic since Nexus/New Moon can't decide what's real anymore and just decided to frick off and become God so it'd be realllyyyy funny if Sun was the one to become a reality altering being.

I'm just Madoka-ifying Sun at this point
