A concept : Linh Cinder in the above silhouette with her abs, her leg, her hand and her scar on display.
Humbly request a drawing oh-great-alse
HIIIIIII
Tis a sketch but I HOPE IT CAPTURED THE VISION
Lol
I tried w the dress lol. Originally was gonna make it red cuz I didn't understand the pattern but I tried lol. And uh. If ur wondering why cinder looks different....i can't draw the same faces that's why lol.
man what do you think the crews favorite foods are
Kai — I think his favourite food is some fancy shit with caviar that’s very intricately prepared. But I also think his other favourite would be something simpler that reminds him of his childhood, like a dish his mother made or a favourite snack.
Cinder — I think prior to becoming queen, she doesn’t really have a favourite food because as she probably says at the time, “I haven’t eaten many dishes in my life. My palette consists of whatever leftovers Adri is so generous to offer me.” But I think after becoming queen, she’s chowing down every delicious and filling meal that comes her way. Sure, there’s the occasional food she isn’t particularly a fan of (like any person), but generally she’s not a picky eater. Every food she gets is better than whatever Adri left for her. In terms of her favourite, I think it’s something warm and hearty that the New Beijing chefs consistently prepare for their meals. Like a noodle soup with a delicious broth, or a congee porridge.
Thorne — Definitely something american like a cheeseburger or some wild combination he swears by that has a name like “sloppy-joe-double-decker-cheeseburger”. And it’s specifically from some place or chain that’s only offered in the american republic. When he eats it, it’s giving Peter B Parker in the spiderverse eating his burger. When he introduces it to the rest of the crew, they all make comments on how it’s probably artery clogging.
Cress — For whatever reason, I personally think she’s a pickier eater. I feel like it just matches her slightly shy personality. Although she’s picky, she at least tries new foods that may seem daunting, especially if it’s to make the offerer/chef happy. Half the time she surprisingly ends up liking it (like Barbie in the Mermaid Tail 2). As for her favourite food, I think it’s something simple and comforting, like a brand of chips she used to eat in her satellite, or a sweet slice of cake from her favourite cafe in a country her and Thorne travelled too (like Italy or something).
Scarlet — I think her favourite food would be something her grandmother prepared for her as a kid when she was sad. Like a thick tomato soup with crunchy and soft bread to go with it. The tomatoes are obviously their own grown.
Wolf — tomato.
Winter — Her favourite food is something sweet. I think she likes candy and desserts a ton, so her favourite food, if you’d consider it a food-food, is apple pie. She likes to help whoever’s making it (a chef or Scarlet) by adding the ingredients or putting the finishing touches, but if you leave her alone to make it herself then the kitchen will be a mess with flour everywhere and a pile of dishes and measuring equipment stacked in the sink.
Jacin — I think his favourite food would be something his mother makes as well. I’m sorry, I know a lot of these are from childhood memories (insert ratatouille flashback meme), but I can’t help it. They’re babies. Anyway, it’s probably a Lunar dish that’s similar to pasta, with a creamy sauce.
Iko — My poor baby Iko. She obviously cannot eat, but if anyone asks, she says her favourite food is sushi (me 2). Omakase if she wants to sound fancy
What do u guys think?😊😊😊 Are my answers poopoo😝 or are they litty🤘🔥🔥
Thanks for the ask aster my dearest!!!!
hm here’s a fun one. who has the best spice tolerance? I can’t imagine anyone raised on Luna has the best spices there on the moon…especially wolf, jacin, and cress. What do you think?
that is fun! wolf grew up near the mines so maybe the regolith messed him up a bit. the wolf surgery really fiddled with his taste buds (human flesh…) so i assume that he’d probably have the highest spice tolerance. it just doesn’t taste like anything to him. plus, he’s middle eastern, so maybe his parents whipped up some spicy meals with whatever they could.
as much as i want kai to be a wimp and have 0 spice tolerance, it’s just not true. c’mon, he grew up with professional chefs from all over the world so of course he tried all sorts of dishes. plus, he’s lives in asia. you cannot tell me he doesn’t like spicy foods. he loves them.
Scarlet would probably be next. she grew up eating peppers on the farm so she grew her tolerance. The thorne. he loooves hot sauce and adds it to lots of his foods.
actually, i think kai would have a higher tolerance than cinder (shocker to some, i know). i can’t remember if her taste buds where also manufactured or not, but she just didn’t eat enough spicy foods as a kid to develop and strong tolerance. still, i bet she naturally has one and enjoys spicy foods.
winter is next. hers is very low. there is a big gap between the last three and the rest of the crew. she probably didn’t eat much spice as a kid, and genuinely doesn’t like it. whenever something is too spicy, she’ll look at the sky and sigh, wishing that she could eat the dish.
jacin’s biggest secret is his tolerance. spice and alcohol. they make him seem like a wimp, so he fakes it. you can’t tell from his face if the food is too spicy or not, but he excuses himself eventually to go cough in a corner. winter can’t help but smirk when this happens. when the crew finds out, he never hears the rest of it. strong and nonchalant jacin can’t handle spice? oh, the irony.
and finally, surprise to no one, cress has the least spice tolerance out of the crew. she had little to no spice experience as a child, grew up completely isolated, and has an unexperienced taste palate. she probably cried the first time she tried a “mild” burrito. i doubt she has a natural spice tolerance either. she’s determined for that to change. whenever her and thorne travel and try new foods, it’s not uncommon for him to turn and find her sniffing over her food.
what do you think of cinder and thorne as a brotp? i know people have issues with cresswell (as they should), but what about this brotp?
oOH BABE YES
CINDER AND THORNE LITERALLY WOULD BE THE BEST
(i may or may not also have a fuck ton of fic ideas with them dicking around together :) )
ok i write v long answers/replies so cut time baby
I think cinder would call kai "your highness" when she's angry at him
And “Kaito.” Or better yet, bust out the full name and title: “Emperor Kaito.”
Would you mayhaps be interested in a lunar chronicles modern au where cinder, scarlet, wolf and thorne gave a yt channel together but they do urban exploration together + one day they find cress one day in an abandoned warehouse and take her in 🤔🤔
i LITERALLY answered this and it didn’t save. ugh. i’ll do it again, i guesss
i imagine they all decide to “become youtube famous” as middle schoolers. all of them have a taste for adventure and half of them have horrible parents (cinder and thorne) while the other half have single mothers who work all the time. so… they like exploring abandoned places and uploading them on the internet.
they meet cress in an abandoned home on the outskirts of town. of course, they keep video evidence of an 11 year old girl living big herself private. instead, they take her in… secretly. they really only told michelle about the situation (maha knew eventually), and cress lived with scarlet. cress wasn’t really verbal for a while and extremely shy, but for some reason grew an attachment to cinder (me love cinder and cress friendship) and scarlet. girlhood!
lol what if they’re committed to transporting her secretly and it’s raining so they can’t go far so they jump into a rich person’s backyard… and it happens to be kai. he hears a noise and comes outside full of questions. that’s how he gets involved. they wait out the storm in his shed 😭.
“why are we in the Prince’s backyard?!” cinder, probably.
“cress can’t be out in the rain like this, she could get sick. besides, kai’s chill, we’re practically bros.” thorne, probably.
“in what world are you and kai prince ‘bros’” scarlet, probably.
“i think i saw them talk during gym once. kai looked annoyed.” wolf, probably.
“achoo.” cress, probably.
turns out, she’s a prodigy that caught the eye of the government. her guardian was corrupt and neglected her; cress was only used for money. during a distraction that somehow involved winter and jacin, cress escaped and has been living on the run ever since. she also knows too many government secrets. luckily, kai’s dad is a politician so she gets some protection in the end.
so, yes, i am interested in this au. do you like? also, why do i feel like this is partially inspired by stranger things… must be in my head 🤔.
Ok so this is gonna tie in with the other ask I sent (about cinder knowing other cyborgs)
Anyways. So do yew think Cinder would have had admirers during her time at za booth. Maybe other cyborgs she helped who could not help but be charmed by her "I gotchu, dontcha worry" aura. Other random customers whatever. Cuz like. Smart. Capable. Pretty. Funny. What more could you ask for.
She absolutely makes customers laugh unexpectedly and they be like "woahj wait"
All I'm saying that there's no way kai was the ONLY guy to notice.
+do yo uthink by the end of tlc there are like, many tweets or whatever on the net by randomers like "oh my stars I used to purposefully break stuff just to visit her booth"
Or just like. Random people fondly recalling stuff she may have helped them with. Or actually, doesn't even have to always be romantic attraction.
I bet there were people who cinder helped enough during her booth days who were so greatful. I bet if cinder saw old like 60-70 aged shopowners struggle w stuff she would have absolutely stepped in to help them. And I can imagine them posting on the net all reminiscing like "ah I remember when this young woman helped me *insert whatever things*. So happy to see her hale and healthy now." Or just like. Whatever wholesome stuff
Anyways. She realises people DID like her even back then and shes like ":))))))" and kai is like ":)))) I'm still ur number one can tho :)))))))"
OMG HAHAHA I definitely do think she’d have admirers fs. I think impossiblesuitcase’s fic covered this pretty well.
People in the market would definitely share wholesome interactions they had with her prior to her fame and heroism. Additionally, I feel like some would also mention how certain shopkeepers would mistreat her and disrespect her and like look at her now. Their empress. Period. I bet a bunch of old people, teens who were young children at the time (like the little girl whose portscreen she fixed for free), would talk about these moments kindly and fondly.
I genuinely don’t understand how anyone would think she WOULDNT have admirers. Not only men, but the WOMEN too. Hello?? In this generation (which would probably continue to be like this)? She’s our MAMDANI and MANGIONE and every other inspirational and non conservative ICON activist. We make EDITS for her, we have FAN ACCOUNTS and FAN GROUPS for her. We will voluntarily run a campaign for her without her asking.
The force of our generation’s loyalty and idolization shall be reflected in their universe’s generation and I refuse to believe otherwise. Never underestimate the power of an activist icon. The people fein for Linh Cinder/Queen Selene
Hi, me again. What burning headcanons do you have buried inside you that you haven't had the chance to share yet?
welcome back, we missed you.
this question is the greatest amazingest (ik that’s not a word) question you could’ve asked me. now i get to release this into the world laughs evilly.
we continue on.
first i will dump my kaider head canons (also the only ones i have)
1. kai calls cinder by many pet names, we know love/ my love, but also dear/ my dear/ darling, sweetheart, my dove, etc etc and she starts to do the same
2. au-wise, they have three kids (2 girls, 1 boy), canon-wise they have one son and one daughter. in both cases they work HARD for their first child, and the rest come by surprise (they're a bit fustrated). they name their daughter(s) after flowers and kai calls them 'his boquet'. like when he introduces them to new people he says, "and this is my boquet, my girls". he does this more when they're younger.
3. cinder ADORES his hair, like she could run her fingers through it for hours. it's like therapeutic to her. when he finds this out, he purposely buys better products to keep his hair silky and clean. also, he likes the feeling.
4. they refuse to not eat together. now, not in a possesive/obsessive way, nor all the time (they snack on their own ofc) but, maybe because they've been seperated for so long, they'll go looking for the other if they're not at the dining table. or just not eat until the other comes. they don't explicitly say "IM NOT EATING UNTIL MY SPOUSE GETS HERE" but they just sit and wait, and wait, and wait, until they get confirmation that the other is coming or can't eat at that moment.
5. when cinder started living at the palace, before they got married, they wanted to see how long they can before sleeping in each others rooms. the longest record was thirteen days... which was conveniently also when kai got sick and was under strict quarantine...
6. kai sometimes just drops himself into cinder. he just sees her and plops. she can tell when he's going to do it, there's a look on his face. usually it's after long meetings or when he's particularly stressed, but it can also happen when he's happy and just wants to melt into cinder. it's a little weird. but it's their weird thing. they're weird people, i don't thinl enough people know this.
7. KAI IS A BIG NERD/DORK/BRAT/ETC. he is that one humble rich kid that you can tell is well-intentioned but can come across as priveledged and spoiled and you can't help but notice it and you also wish you had his money so you could buy all the collectibles he has. cinder knows this AND calls him out for it. constantly. once, and only once, has it ended in a fight. but, usually, it's her main way of teasing him.
8. ok more abt the kid thing/ kids part 2: this one splits on the assumption of whether kai has infertility issues or not. i usually think he does, but sometimes i feel bad and keep him happy. if he does, they have two kids, peony and rikan. if he doesn’t, they have a third child called celeste who they nickname poppy. peony is the “girliest” in the sense that she likes shopping and dolling up and pink. her and iko are best friends. cinder sometimes wonder if peony is peony linh reincarnated because they’re so alike. but this peony is different. this peony is a hard-core perfectionist. everybody calls rikan riki, only peony and poppy call him hyacinth to have a ‘flower named sibling trio’. anyway, he’s the black sheep of the family. he’s the talk of the tabloids, involved in many scandals, he likes to party and hang out with pretty women. he has some turbulence with his father mostly because rikan is nothing like kai but the public expect him to be like kai. he has a dark era but eventually grows out of it. he falls in love with michelle (wolflet’s kid) and it’s my favorite gen 2 romance. if kai has infertility issues, ignore everything i say about poppy. poppy is cinder’s brains with kai’s finesse but with jacin’s nonchalantness. she keeps to herself, she’s overly blunt, and definitely neurodivergent. she doesn’t mind dressing up for occasions, and she also doesn’t not care about what she wears. peony and iko take turns styling her and she becomes some sort of a fashion icon. she’s good at everything. not in a “i have to be good at everything” kind of way (like peony). she’s just naturally talented. she’s one of those people who can sing, dance, draw, know jiu jitsu, draw a bow, shoot a gun, write, talk, etc. very well. and she just shrugs it off. my QUEEN. she has a passion for journalism, which is ironic because she hates the press. she’s frustrated with the media because they would make things not what they seem. she wants the TRUTH out there. she hates liars. she has actually has a romance with a nerdy journalist who’s VERY BERY into her and flirts with her all the time. she doesn’t realize into later that he likes her like that, and it takes her even longer to to realize she loves him back. they’re SO cute. he wears glasses.
9. they switch who’s big spoon vs little spoon based on who’s more tired. usually, cinder ends up the little spoon because kai likes holding her. but that guy loved to be held as well.
10. kai’s mom’s name is camellia. this is why he likes the flower names so much. they almost named peony camellia actually.
ok i have like hundreds more but it’s been a year and i forgot about this so i’m going to post it now. hope you like it. and THANK YOU for asking me this.
