Do you ever think about how Jacin and Wolf never really had any interactions with each other on the rampion crew? Like they interacted or connected with another rampion crew member but not really with each other. I kinda wish that Marissa added more interactions and bonding between them. Scarlet and Winter are like besties but what about their boyfriends? Sorry if I keep rambling on but do you have any headcanons of Wolf and Jacin bonding together and becoming really good friends?

Yes! Sorry for taking so long. But honestly, I should probably reread the books because I had such a hard time coming up with headcanons that felt remotely in character 😭

Jacin and Wolf are both so introverted that there are probably entire afternoons where they just sit in silence together. They’ve got this unspoken understanding where neither talks about emotions, but somehow, they still get each other.

They’re also so sarcastic with one another. Not in a mean way, but in that deadpan, dry-humor kind of way that makes everyone else unsure if they’re joking or about to fight.

At some point, they definitely start working out together whenever the crew’s gathered (like at the farm or on the Rampion). No music, no conversation, just synchronized pushups and the occasional grunt. Scarlet walks in once and sees them bench pressing in unison and is like, “???”

Then one day, for some reason, they’re the only two left to babysit the Rampion kids. Disaster. They’re both objectively bad with children but take the job way too seriously. Jacin is trying to follow a parenting manual word-for-word. Wolf’s in the kitchen making lunch from scratch (he's channeling his inner Nara Smith). Meanwhile, the kids are braiding Jacin’s hair and calling him a princess. He just sits there, smug and unmoving. Wolf takes a photo and immediately sends it to Winter.

Also, I’m sure Jacin’s got a collection of old battle scars from his days as a Lunar guard much like Wolf. One day, completely out of nowhere, they start comparing scars. “How’d you get that one?” “Got stabbed by a rebel. You?” “Training accident.” “…Nice.”

Then they go back to silence like nothing happened.

If anyone else has headcanons, share them!!

YOU GUYS OMG. IT’S HAPPENING.

THE ARTICLE SAYS NOV 3, 2028 FOR THE RELEASE DATE

[thestarryeyedsapphic]

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

Iko is kinda trans girl coded. She identified as a beautiful woman and made her body reflect that. And good for her!

Cover art for "Cinder" !

I also drew the cover for my comic adaptation of Cinder ha ha ❤

Rant under the cut. Mostly aimed at people who've read the Lunar Chronicles. If you haven't, I'd suggest it, it's really good.

Was thinking about how the Lunar Chronicles wasn't biologically accurate to wolves with the Lunar Special Operatives, but yeah it actually was.

The alpha beta omega shit doesn't exist in real life, scientists put random wolves in a cave and assumed that was how they acted in real life. And that botched science is why there's self-proclaimed 'alpha men' and omegaverse, and why werewolf books are so inaccurate. But why is this relevant to LC? Isn't it just another depiction of werewolves untrue to how wolves actually act? No.

In LC, the boys are taken from their homes at a young age, and undergo surgery that gives them wolf characteristics. They're put in 'packs' that have an order stereotypical of bad werewolf books. They fight a lot, and the strongest, who wins the most fights, is the alpha. The one who wins the least is the omega, and is treated the worst.

'But Breadstick,' you may say. 'Isn't all this just showing how inaccurate it is?' No, it's not, and I'm getting to that, so be patient imaginary readers.

These boys don't know each other. Most had never seen each other before being taken by the Lunar government. They were forced into packs that weren't the normal family groups of wolves, and forced to train and compete to be the strongest. All this matches up to the botched science. A bunch of wolves in an enclosed space, who don't know each other, and tensions are high.

There's a reason the packs in LC are portrayed like this. I don't know if it was the intent of the author, but this is true to how wolves would act if forced to coexist with others they don't know, whom they have to compete with.

In conclusion, LC on first glance just has stereotypical biologically inaccurate wolf packs, but upon closer inspection, there's a reason. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I'm re-reading Cinder for the first time since its release (it holds up great) but after having lived through a global pandemic, the whole plague plot seems so insane. Like, where the fuck are your masks!? Sure, let's go digging through the garbage, what could possibly go wrong? Let's all still gather in large crowds in the market! Quarantining after being exposed to Letumosis is just a suggestion! I'd get it if the book was set in a regular fantasy world, BUT YOU'RE IN A SCI-FI UNIVERSE! HOW ARE YOU ALL NOT WEARING SPECIAL GAS MASKS ALL THE TIME!?

The one relatable thing about Cinder's evil step-mother is that she hardly ever goes outside. Like, bitch me too! I wouldn't go outside either if I didn't have to. Cinder could work remotely if she could get people to just drop off their broken stuff at her apartment!

[thestarryeyedsapphic]

Lunar Chronicles headcannon:

Thorne got a fake ID to gamble and drink when he was a teenager, and ended up joining the military with it. By the time he's a fugitive with Cinder, he forgets he told everyone the wrong age. So he's actually like 18 instead of 20 the whole time, making all of the character dynamics on the Rampion make a lot more sense (including his relationship with 16 year old Cress)

[thestarryeyedsapphic]

For never having held a gun before, we see time and time again how amazing of a shot Cress is throughout the series. It’s no wonder she stole the heart of the only American on the crew.
