Cinder's thoughts: Aces, that is the most idiotic, prejudiced, asinine thing I have ever heard. Should I call them out on it? No, what would Kai do? I bet he would smile politely and correct them in a diplomatic way. Probably overlook the statement altogether. How is he so perfect at this?
the literal crown prince of the eastern commonwealth after his crush said no to going to the ball with him twice, ignored 6 of his comms, and didn’t want to go eat lunch with him:
Every time I revisit the lunar chronicles I’m reminded what a good time Kai’s chapters are bc everyone else is doing high-stakes running from law enforcement things and Kai’s just sitting there— the law enforcement in question— giving Levana diplomatically unadvisable side eye and not so quietly rooting for his cyborg-Lunar-fugitive-situationship
Just: (ʘ‿ʘ)ノ👸🏽“hey baby hold my evil aunt"
👸🏽\(。-_-。) “kick her army’s ass, baby. I got yo evil aunt”
Dropping the latest Patreon Sketch-a-Wish for May! The opening scene for The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer, featuring Cinder, Kai, Iko (who is basically an EVE/Wall-E love-child), an unconscious Nainsi and a bunch of easter egg items, as requested in our poll. (can you point them out?)
This was definitely one where the background itself was its own character; There's so much happening here and it's very nuanced to the context of the scene. I think those who aren't familiar with the book will have a hard time figuring out what's happening here - but seriously, caption this artwork: "Doting dad drops off his two android kids at day camp where the youngest has already stolen the cyborg foot off of the caretaker." ... and it still works. 😂
In order to fish for Easter Egg items, I re-listed to the Lunar Chronicles for the first time since I first read them a few years back; they were my gateway series into the bookish community and I absolutely fell in love with it all over again! I have Gilded on my TBR shortlist, and just recently listed to Heartless last month. I'm definitely on a Meyer bender, with the fabulous Rebecca Soler (the narrator) to keep me company!
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.
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?
