I thought that was obvious????

"renegades is about grey morality" "oh the ending of supernova made the whole point of neutral morality completely moot" IT'S EXTREMISM. RENEGADES IS ANTI-EXTREMISM.

callum literally says to nova in archenemies that he disagrees with the anarchists because all they did was destroy, they believed the only way for the world to be as it should was to essentially cause the apocalypse. we don't talk about it enough, but the series DOES take place in a semi-recovered post-apocalyptic environment. and then the anarchists raised nova to destroy what little progress had been made towards recovery. yes the renegades were a very flawed system; the whole point is that they should be CHANGED, not DESTROYED.

Levanna: Did you take out the cyborg as I requested?  Kai: Linh Cinder has been taken out, yes.  Levana: You have my grat-  Kai: It was a great restaurant.  Kai: We had a romantic candlelit dinner.  Kai: She proposed afterwards- we’re filing the wedding papers.

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

EDIT bc I’ve had so many people correct me: yes my math is off on the human ratio!! Ik it’s only two on reflection, I wrote this post very quickly and didn’t fully think it through, thank you for the corrections

WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAAAAHHHHH

LUNAR CHRONICLES MOVIE SCRIPT???

[emmatcha]

the lunar chronicles series needs so much more love.

the world? one of the most immersive worlds I’ve ever experienced, and fun but serious.

the characters? likable and distinct and heroic and complex, with deep trauma and moral dilemmas that make them feel like real people.

the concept? unique and epic and cinematic but classic.

the romance? nearly every type there is, a slow burn star-crossed lovers, an enemies to lovers, a childhood best friends to lovers and rapunzel and flynn vibes.

the plot? complex and extremely well thought out, yet easy to understand, original and so addicting.

fractured fairytale dystopian fantasy sci-fi on futuristic earth and the moon with secret princess trope and princes and evil queens who can control minds? cinderella and red riding hood and rapunzel and snow white? I WILL TAKE IT THANK YOU.

there’s literally something for everyone, and no one could say it isn’t well written.

why this series is not hyped up more is beyond me.

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

Winter was prettier than a bouquet of roses and crazier than a headless chicken. Fitting in was not an option.

Reading the book is not enough. I need to eat it.

You ever realize that out of all the main characters in the Lunar Chronicles, only Thorne and Scarlet (and Jacin?) went to school like normal. Sure, Thorne was running poker tables at recess, but that's normal compared to everyone else. Kai is royalty, so he probably had a tutor. Winter had a tutor. Cress learned how to hack before she could read (she hacked to get the books that taught her how to read). Wolf was a child soldier. Iko is a robot. Cinder was unconscious for most of her childhood, then she was force to work (in pretty sure she never went to school but correct me if I'm wrong). Jacin was normal, I guess, but he was raised on Luna.

Just imagine Thorne saying something reminded him of high school and almost everyone else cannot relate

Probably one of the most iconic moments for Cinder, and not just because of the subverted Cinderella imagery. She, the emperor’s personal guest, has just crashed headlong into a manicured tree in the (populated) Imperial courtyard, full speed, in a vehicle (definitely not street legal) that hasn’t been seen in well over a century. And when a palace worker helps her out of the wreckage she’s like, “he’s judging me for the dirty dress :/“ Like bestie I promise that is the least of his problems right now
