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

Wolflet but Scarlet is the one biting

„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”.

im bored SO I MADE THESE

[cinderskai]

thinking about when Wolf told Cress that Scarlet is his alpha and she interpreted it to mean she’s his brightest star and he was like “yeah exactly like that”

OKAY I couldn't find these anywhere on tumblr so here they are. Full credit to Frostbite studios on insta for these jaw-droppingly gorgeous pieces. This was the best quality I could find.

Just finished Scarlet for the first time.

I will never look at tomatoes the same way ever again.

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 😅

I need the tlc movies to all hurry up and come out so that I can enjoy the following edits:

• Winter to mad hatter by Melanie Martinez

• boys will be bugs by cavetown wolf edit

• baby one more time Britney Spears thirst edit of scarlet shooting people. Just cause I think it would be really fucking cool

• line without a hook by Ricky Montgomery kaider/jacinter edit because I think it would be really sweet

• michelle by sir chloe winlet edit

• womanizer x pony edit of Thorne. Yeah I hate the bastard but I think it would go extremely hard

•sixteen by ayesha erotica cress edit cause I think it would be really fucking funny

• your best American girl by mitski kaito edit because I think it works really well with the whole “who could ever love a cyborg” thing she had going on

• vigilante shit by Taylor swift edit of cinder because she’d eat that shit up

• oh no! By marina edit of cress specifically “I always feel like I’m the worst so I always act like I’m the best” because that’s literally so cress

• all American bitch by Olivia Rodrigo would would for almost every girl in tlc

• run the world (girls) Beyoncé edit of iko because I KNOW she’d eat that shit up

• I’m just ken edit of all the tlc boys. Because to ME. They are all ken. They exist to be love interests and helplessly obsessed with the girls and I am completely okay with that

• genie in a bottle iko edit because again I think she’d serve cunt

• hot to go winlet edit frankly cause I deserve it

mfs when the last chapter of stars above

[frolicsomeratscallion]

definitive canon tlc ship ranking

my qualifications: im a goofy goober. im a silly guy. i know the secrets of the universe. im a pretty princess >_< :3

Jacinter - childhood best friends, starcrossed lovers, royal x loyal guard like dAKJLS:DJFH:L im sorry and you expect me NOT to love them?? ok I kinda get that compared to the other couples they spend quite little time together in their book but like. come on. I didnt reread tlc for a couple years but I thought about these two CONSTANTLY. I love them so much I cant even multiship like winlet is very appealing to me but lowkey I feel bad 😭 like theyve wanted each other for so long I cant bring myself to ship either of them with anyone else. But also I kinda wish jacin was a butch lesbian

Kaider - They're so adorable and silly lol. I feel like they were a very good couple to kick off the series with cause I was rooting for them so quickly. They're the funniest canon ship cause theyre both so sassy and done with everything. I wish we couldve gotten more scenes where they talked shit together

Wolflet - To be completely honest I like this ship a lot less than the previous two but thats not to say I dont like them. Like yes I could never take the alpha talk seriously but they were still very cute. Idk why but I like this ship a LOT better when I imagine Wolf as a woman and they were just two lesbians in love <3 If they were they'd probably be above kaider but in canon yea they're number 3 for me.

Cresswell - The age difference isn't really a factor for me, yes its weird but lowkey I forgot thorne was 20 and cress was 16 while I was reading cress. I like the headcanon that thorne had a fake id to sneak into bars and is actually 18 but forgot and just told everyone he was 20. Even so... they're odd for me. I don't know I guess I just dont like the naive inexperienced girl x experienced guy trope? I liked them a lot more in winter than I did in cress. I think its because the pining was more mutual then. I don't hate them, and I did enjoy some of their moments but out of all the canon ships theyre the weakest for me. I like them better when theyre interacting with other people, like wolf or jacin for cress and cinder or kai for thorne.

so GUESS WHO MADE MOREEEE

[impossiblesuitcase]

A small detail that I appreciate about tlc is that in all of the ships, each character started out at the same social level as their partner.

Kai and Cinder both born into royalty, until Cinder was sent to Earth and became an ostracised cyborg.

Thorne born into the American elite, Cress born to two of Luna's top scientists before she was declared a shell and stolen.

Jacin and Winter both children of lowly guards before her father was forced to marry Levana.

Scarlet and Wolf both average citizens before Wolf was subscripted into the wolfen army.

I think the conclusion to be drawn from this is that all the couples started off on even footing but for one reason or another were flung into opposite social realms. Yet none of them let prejudice get in the way of them being together.

the lunar chronicles are my comfort books. it's hard to explain what they mean to me, but last year i picked them up after six years away from them, and it truly was like coming home. i remember being nervous that i would not like them because my taste in books had changed dramatically but i absolutely and utterly fell in love with every character again, and i remembered why i had fallen in love with this story and the characters in the first place. as soon as i read the first line in cinder, i knew, that no matter how many times i read them or the time that stretches between rereads, they will always be home. the characters, their found family will always be home. i remembered why this series meant so much to me. the rampion crew gave me a second home, a family within the pages when i literally was so alone. they showed that books could be something more, that i could become truly and utterly attached to the characters, we will forever be linked. i loved the healthiness of the relationships between couples, the friendships between both men and female relationships. i remember falling so hard for kaider and rooting for their relationship and rooting for every relationship. i remember getting winter in hardback because i needed to see how it ended. i sobbed when i finished "something old, something new" because i knew it meant saying goodbye to them. i have never cried so hard after finishing an epilogue, but it fucking hurt to say goodbye to the characters who saved and continue to save me. they healed me. every fucking time i open these book something within me knits together. something within heals. these books are so deeply intertwined within me and nothing will ever change that. god, everyone needs to read these books.
