Things I'm looking forward to in the Lunar Chronicles animated Films:

All of the 'SHE'S MINE' Wolf memes that will inevitably happen.

In fact, I know the alpha thing will be meme'd to hell, and I'm so excited for that.

The fight scenes. I just love to imagine Cinder using her cybernetic limbs as weapons.

Cress' opera shower scene

Iko. That's all.

The CLOTHES. Fanart has set my expectations extremely high for the blend of traditional and futuristic clothing.

I'm so curious how they will present the lunar manipulation powers.

cress spent years on the satellite alone, cut off from everyone, with only tv and an ai for company. in my heart, she had online friends from all around the world, that she could only dream of meeting. after the rampion crew defeated levana, she spends a year travelling the world, making it her mission to find each and every one of her online friends so that she could give them the biggest hug and tell them how important they were to her when she had no one

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

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

Reminders for the Anxious/Depressed Creatives

You’re more than what you make.

Your productivity does not determine your value.

It’s okay to do nothing sometimes.

Not everything you do has to result in a product.

Not everything you make has to be important, significant, or even good.

You can make things just for yourself.

You can keep secrets for yourself, whether it’s not posting some of your projects or not sharing your techniques.

You’re allowed to say no.

You’re allowed to rest.

BREE KISH as AUGUST LANDRY

-> One Last Stop, by Casey McQuiston

“There was this girl. I met her on a train. The first time I saw her, she was covered in coffee and smelled like pancakes, and she was beautiful like a city you always wanted to go to, like how you wait years and years for the right time, and then as soon as you get there, you have to taste everything and touch everything and learn every street by name [...]. She had soft lips and green eyes and a body that wouldn’t quit [...], hair like you wouldn’t believe. Stubborn, sharp as a knife. And I never, ever wanted a person to save me until she did.”

Ezra Michel as Niko?

He is a latinx trans bisexual artist, and looks almost exactly how I pictured Niko while reading.

EXCUSE ME????

[theperksofbeingabooknerd]

the way One Last Stop has so many central queer characters............ a black girl with a love for all things engineering and artsy is in love with a psychic latine trans man with tattoos and more plants in his apartment than in the amazon rainforest. a gay jewish tattoo artist who is very secretive and rarely speaks and the black drag queen across the hall who is in love with him (whom he is also in love with but refuses to tell). a fat bisexual girl who never had friends and now has a family to call her own. a punk asian lesbian from a time when living and loving was inherently an act of survival finally feeling peace and closure. all living together. all finding their place in the world together.

One Last Stop is a love letter to the modern queer success story and truly prioritizes the importance of building, not only a community, but a famiy to surround yourself with. it's brilliant.
