Most of her customers couldn’t fathom how a teenage girl could be the best mechanic in the city, and she never broadcast the reason for her talent.

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!

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

wtf do people without fandoms do with their life? like actually what do you do when you don’t have something to dangerously obsess over. the last time i wasn’t a part of a fandom was in fourth grade.

Meet the Artist: @septembersart

Hi guys! My name is Jenna, and I’m a South African artist based in the US. I’ve just stumbled out of a fancy traditional art university earlier this year, and am learning how to make art for myself again. For me, that takes the form of turning my favorite book series into a (fake) video game, and filling every inch of my sketchbook with post-it notes, stickers, and tracing paper. I’m very into vintage print, dynamic characters, and retro tech, all of which can be found in Space Soda, the webcomic I’m planning on releasing this year! I’ve been on tumblr for about 7 years, and I love the community I’ve found here. I’m very grateful for everyone who’s supported me on my art journey, especially those who gave a few likes to those wonky photos of my sketchbook so long ago.

Nice to meet you, Jenna! Below are some art pieces she has picked out to feature.

Check out more of Jenna’s work over at her Tumblr, @septembersart!

„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”.

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

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.

[impossiblesuitcase]

Bonus:

a sequel of sorts to this

There is always something so delicious about the second book in a series

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
