#I is for iko

your initial, your reminder: tlc character edition

L: perhaps if you hadn't been so reckless, things wouldn't have ended the way they did

I: everyone you love will leave you one by one. until you have no one left, and you are all alone

K: you left them when they needed you the most, and they paid the price for it

S: you will never get to be the girl you once were, the one without the weight on her shoulders

Z: if only you had communicated properly, you wouldn't have driven away the ones you love

C: no matter how hard you try, you will never be able to connect with your peers as well as or as easily as they can with each other

T: you're just waiting for everyone else to realise what you already know: that you're not a good person

W: you will never truly know if someone sincerely loves you, or if they just have something else to gain

J: it will be impossible to absolve for the things you've done, no matter how good the intention was

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

If The Lunar Chronicles were written today, Scarlet and Thorne would both be canonically bisexual.

I’ve been drawing for so many different things that I forgot to post our empress here!!! Sorry if something is wrong with the colouring. My devices don’t usually display two different versions so l’ll work on figuring that out.

It's a scary story. Our gang's boss likes karaoke, you see. He hosts a karaoke competition yearly on his birthday. And everyone has to sing one song each. The worst singer becomes the Sucky-Song King. And they get tattooed by the boss!

Okay but can we talk about how beautiful of a title Empress Selene is? Like Emperor Kaito and Empress Selene??? That’s such a gorgeous pair of names. Also the fact that Cinder has a cool name (Cinder obvi) and a fancy royal name (Selene), is also dope. She gets the best of both worlds *que Hannah Montana

I think social media would really lean into that Hannah Montana idea, to the point that it's a running joke (John Cena level) that Selene and Cinder are completely different people. e.g:

Gee, twins, how come you get TWO dads?!?!

They're married btw, nothing can convince me otherwise

i should probably make a lunar chronicles blog to say all this shit but god. i miss them so bad. i need to see them on the big screen one way or another. i need to see kai and cinder's awkward first meeting and her - a five star professional mechanic - literally slamming his tech on its side in an effort to fix it. i need to see cinder crashing the ball in a rain-soaked dress. i need to see her and thorne break out of jail and thorne tell her about starting a prison riot over fucking soap while she just stares at him without a drop of amusement in her eyes, only for them to become best friends. i need to see scarlet aim a gun at wolf and hear wolf tell her to aim at his head because it makes for a more fatal shot, and the sick, nasty parallels later. i need to see cress and thorne stumbling over the dessert, navigating more than just sand dunes. i need to see iko get her new body and feel herself for the first time. i need to see jacin being a jackass to everyone because he's been raised in a place where being anything but harsh will ruin him. i need to see him helping winter through her hallucinations, the two of them holding back their affections at every moment because they can't display them without someone getting hurt. i need to see the final showdown, the "nice shot, cress." i need to see them all eating lemon cake at the end after weeks of eating canned military food on the rampion, eating with their hands because they all forgot cutlery, getting frosting all over their fingers. i need-

They look a bit funny but I'm not a professional at all so it's justified

I'm really happy with the results!!
