see I like the IDEA of a “what if Kaider didn’t go canon at the end of Cress/Winter” AU but I simply cannot suspend my disbelief enough to read one in its entirety. they were simply too obsessed with each other!! Kai was imagining cute scenarios with Cinder to fall asleep to at 2:30 and saying on live television that he wanted to see her in prison at 14:30. Cinder was on a spaceship trying to plan a coupe/convincing herself she’s glamouring the rampion to be invisible and realistically should have no time to think about a cute boy she met, but she simply cannot help herself!! It took Kai all of 10 MINUTES to process the fact that he’d been kidnapped on his wedding day by the lost princess of Luna before he was making out with her. How am I supposed to pretend that meant nothing. Come on now.

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

Everyday is Iko appreciation day. She was a sister to Cinder since day one and continues to remain a stiff competitor against Kai in the Cinder-loving competition

I've always loved this. When we are reading Cinder's pov she thinks she's being real subtle about her crush and then in anyone else's pov they are instantly like, "oh yeah, she's in love with the emperor. Everyone knows that."

@themusicalbookworm Book 1 Kai was sassy, but will anything ever measure up to Book 4 Kai looking Levana’s Cinder glamour dead in the eyes during the wedding, telling her “Thanks for this since Selene is more beautiful than you will ever be” and kissing her? No, never

I thought the ball was supposed to save Cinderella and not…. break the prince’s heart, almost kill her, tag her as an alien cyborg terrorist and send her to jail
k so this has been in my drafts for like a year and I think it’s safe to post it cuz it ain’t getting any younger ammiright

The Letumosis that Scarlet catches is the mutated one that the Lunars all catch. She never caught the original strain of letumosis. We also never see an earthen besides Scarlet catch the mutated strain of Letumosis so we don't technically know if Earthens can catch it at all. It's just assumed that they can.
I also wonder if Scarlet being 1/4th lunar doesn't make her immune but maybe gives her some antibodies/a resistance to the OG letumosis. Like she could catch the OG letumosis but could recover from it?
I've wondered about the glamour thing too! Scarlet doesn't have it and we don't see enough of her father to know if there was any glamour there. I've wondered if the lunar parent's power level would affect the half Lunar/Half Earthen child's chances of having glamour. Can a half lunar child be a shell? Can a shell have kids with glamour?
Ok so Scarlet is 1/4 Lunar..... Do you think she was immune to the letumosis? (The original letumosis that lunars are immune to but earthens aren't)
#the lunar chronicles#scarlet benoit#i feel like people dont think about Scarlet's mixed heritage enough#i mean i feel like people dont talk about lunar chronicles enough in general#but like i would have loved more info on farafrah (idk how to spell it) and ths mixed community#bc i think it was specifically mentioned that there were loads of mixed lunar/earthen people there#and a lot of people in the town could jse glamour but we dont know if any were mixed or not
