What if he's written mine on my upper thigh, only in my mind?

Taylor Swift, the legend you are

If I had a nickel for every time a Rapunzel adaptation made in the early 2010s had her fall in love with a criminal who renounced his life of crime suspiciously soon after undergoing severe head trauma, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Dropping the latest Patreon Sketch-a-Wish, voted on by my lovely Patreon members for November! One of the peak scenes from Winter of The Lunar Chronicles Series by Marissa Meyer, featuring Cress and Thorne! Cress was my favorite character of the series, simply because of the harrowing nature of her story-line. (her satellite??) Given that each of the four main leads are retellings of classic fairytales, I think Cress and Thorne had the most clever adaptation. After doing a second couple illustration from the series, I'm getting the urge to complete the set. Especially, Scarlett + Wolf, who have one of the most satisfying reunion scenes I've read thus far. Prints available in bio link!

Cresswell from that one scene in Winter. I can’t draw suits so that kinda sucks but otherwise I love it.

[seriousbrat]

the one thing (afaik) that isn't canon compliant in my series is that i put dirk cresswell in the same year as the marauders when slughorn actually says he was a year below. i did this by accident, and by the time i realised it he was too central to the story/other characters. so i just fixed it by having a running gag where slughorn keeps forgetting what year cresswell's in.

“No one in this palace is as beautiful as you think they are. It’s all just mind control.”

Thorne grinned and squeezed her closer against his side. “I’m fairly certain there’s at least one exception to that rule.”

Cress rolled her eyes. “Yeah. Thaumaturges.”

He laughed and dropped his arm, though she wasn’t sure what was funny.

cresswell week

[captain-hooks]

It’s the Cresswell hours

[enigma-of-self]

As a short girly the fact that Thorne is a leg guy when Cress barely even has any leg is so funny to me

What's you're favorite book in The Lunar Chronicles AND which ship is your favorite?

Cress and my favorite ship is Cress and Throne!

They're so wonderful together and I love how protective Throne is of Cress, but also how Cress finds her own quiet strength and found family in the series.

(the only thing I don't like about them is their age gap)

“I know, logically, that it was her, not me. But … Cress.” He sighed. “I will have nightmares about that moment for the rest of my life.”

My search only shows records of a *cadet* Carswell Thorne....

[impossiblesuitcase]

(asking bc of the wolflet ask) thoughts on cresswell?

lol next thing will be 'thoughts on kaider?' 'thoughts on jacinter?'

I like Cresswell. I've already discussed their age gap so you can find that on my blog if you want my thoughts on it. Cress and Thorne are great characters individually and match together well. I like that Cress brings out a very sweet and more vulnerable side to Thorne, particularly his fumbling and protectiveness. And Thorne helps Cress to become more confident and spend more time in the real world and less time in her fantasies. Their relationship arc is the most interesting to me; as I've stated in the past, "The other couples started out with obvious romantic inclinations, whereas Cresswell was the couple that seemed least plausible. What with little interest on Thorne’s part and Cress’s misguided infatuation, romance seems laughable.

Take the other ships and remove all the obstacles of war and prejudice and evil queens. Each couple could start dating relatively easily, except Cresswell. They would still have the issues of him not feeling worthy of her, and her believing he doesn’t like her, while he believes that she fell out of love with him."

That's why to me their relationship is best in terms of development.

Headcanon that after the events of Stars Above (More specifically, “Something Old, Something New”), Cress starts learning how to pilot the Rampion.

A shortened list of reasons I think Cress would learn to pilot the Rampion after the events of Winter:

Cress has been trapped and out of control for almost her entire life. I’m sure traveling around the world has been healing for her, and I know she trusts Thorne. However, I do think, to a certain degree, she’d want to be in control, or, at least be able to get herself out if necessary

Cress is probably a lil traumatized by Thorne hitting his head on the way down to Earth (in Cress), and she’d likely be cautious and hesitant to rely on others to be able to fly the ship bc of this.

She’d also probably remember how there was a pilot taking Sybil to her satellite (aka Jacin), how he didn’t help her, and how she could probably have found a way to escape if she knew how to fly.

When it comes to flying, Thorne is not great™️, and it would be nice to not have to start sending prospective last words via comm every time they land somewhere.

And Thorne has never wanted to be a pilot (Source: I think there are probably multiple instances, but, most recently, Stars Above “Carswell’s Guide to Getting Lucky”), so, all in all, it makes sense that Cress would take on that role.

I just realized… in The Lunar Chronicles, Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress have all shot their love interest at least once. Like, Cinder shot Kai with a tranq dart when she kidnapped him, Scarlet shot Wolf in the arm to stop him from killing Ran (the first time), and Cress shot off two of Thorne’s fingers to save Cinder. And yet they’re all so cute together 😅
