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

„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”.

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.

im bored SO I MADE THESE

[ellieromanoff]

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 😅

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.

Canonically, Thorne is the only Rampion Crew member to have dated anyone outside of the Rampion Crew.

Cinder: a cyborg servant to her evil step-mother who definitely didn’t give her the freedom to meet or date boys

Iko: a literal android

Wolf: forced into an all-boys-wolf-cub-hybrid-training-camp and genetically modified at age 12

Cress: a prisoner her whole life and lived solitarily in a satellite from ages like 9-16

Jacin: devoted to Winter since childhood

Winter: devoted to Jacin since childhood

So… unless Kai and Scarlet had secret lovers we’re unaware of…

…That means they’re all each other’s first loves🥺

…and ig we can give Thorne partial credit because he didn’t “mean it”those 24 other times… lol

The rampion crew asking their s.o if they would still love them if they were a worm:

Kaider

kai: if i was...idk...a worm. would you still love me?

cinder: why would i do that?

kai: CINDER

cinder: would i know you? would you be able to speak? because i wouldn't love a worm that makes snarky remarks all the time, the only thing keeping this relationship alive is this beautiful face of yours!

kai: *stares at her*

cinder: i'm kidding.

Wolflet

wolf: would you still love me if i was a worm?

scarlet: yeah, why?

wolf: just asking

Cresswell

cress: you would love me even if i was a worm, right?

throne: i mean, it depends...? someone turned you into one, or were you always a worm?

cress: *offended* it shouldn't matter!

thorne: this doesn't make sense to me

Jacinter

winter: would you still love me if i was a worm?

jacin: would i be a worm too?

winter: only if you wanted to

jacin: i would like to be a worm with you

winter: *smiles*

If you think about it, Scarlet Benoit is actually fantastic bisexual representation in that her taste in women is the most beautiful woman to ever exist and her taste in men is “dirty-ass street fighter I met behind a dumpster” and, honestly, I love her for it.

[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”

[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.

[lys-9-10]

Can we PLEASE talk about the fact that when Wolf tells Scarlet "I love you" her response is a sarcastic "Really? I couldn't tell." I mean, how amazing would it be if all love declarations were so backed up by actions that they could warrant this response
