#kai and cinder

[freddycartr]

not going to lie when i first heard “i told you things” by gracie abrams my mind immediately went to kaider. like “lost the color in my face/you’re fearing i’m insane“ is kai when he is grappling with the fact that cinder is lunar at the ball. and “hallucination, shame, guilt, pain/more pain” is cinders reaction to kai’s “you’re more painful to look at than she is.”

I was remembering the moment when they get thrown out of the plane in Tournament of Elements and I thought it would look epic like this

Okay, and if I said this is one of the coolest action sequnces in Dragons Rising?

I mean, like, the way Kai confidently spins into Rising Dragon and Cinder keeps Trying to fight him, but Kai is Way too quick with it, the way Lloyd has Ras scurrying around on (almost) all-fours, and how Ras blocks all of Lloyd's attacks with his hammer...

then Lloyd energy-spamming, shooting smaller blasts... and Ras smacking Lloyd outta his Spinjitsu...

Like it's a Short moment but at least it's still a moment in the series... like really showing off Dragons Rising getting ambitious with the fight animation again after some of the Far more bland and snoozefest fights of the first season (Ras vs. Sora and Arin, Ninja vs Spirit of the Temple)...

The sun, the moon. Kai and Cinder from The Lunar Chronicles.

[lynsstrange]

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

All Season 2 part 2 suits which one is your favorite?

[first-mate-cinder]

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

„Lunars were a society that had evolved from an Earthen moon colony centuries ago, but they weren’t human anymore. People said Lunars could alter a person’s brain—make you see things you shouldn’t see, feel things you shouldn’t feel, do things you didn’t want to do”.

Kai setting the bar high

can we fucking talk about how kai knew cinder would not be ready to accept his marriage proposal after she was crowned queen? so instead he did the most-kai-thing-possible and proposed to her with her fucking foot and instead offered her dance lessons and a promise that she would one day consider being the empress of the commonwealth, his empress? but when cinder jokes with him and says that she was expecting a ring, he immediately says that there are some nice jewelry stores on luna? god i love him and his ability to understand that cinder would not be ready and waited until she was

Boom! Some new Ninjago fanart are here. Really enjoyed s2 pt1 and can't wait for pt2

[impossiblesuitcase]

I really like that Kai's first impression of Cinder wasn't "wow, this is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen," but instead "she was pretty, but not exceptionally so. Not noticeably so, until you bothered to look. Kai realised, with some surprise, that he was looking."

In reality most people aren't supermodels but are simply average-looking, but they can be beautiful in the right person's eyes. And so later when he tells Levana that "Selene is more beautiful than you could ever be" he doesn't mean in looks alone. He means in every encompassing way.
