Cinder grounds her teenage son for a week when he calls her "my cousin from my father's first marriage."
The sun, the moon. Kai and Cinder from The Lunar Chronicles.
I had tons of drawings and sketches from The Lunar Chronicles back when I read the books, but this one was the boldest and the one I’m happiest with!
I’m so excited for the adaptation, and honestly, more and more sure it needs to be animated! ✨
I think that the Lunar Chronicles movie coming out in 2028 instead of the 2010s is very significant. Back then they probably would've focused hard on making it another Hunger Games clone, and then put Counting Stars on the soundtrack or something.
The lunar chronicles really shows how easy it is to avoid the not-like-other-girls stereotypes just by. Yknow. Having multiple girls in your story?
Like wow look at how Cinder doesn’t like fancy dresses she’s so cool and different and wait. Oh her best friend Iko is fashion obsessed and also a badass? Oh Winter is conventionally attractive and still cool as fuck? Oh….
Wow look at Scarlet and how badass and angry she is she’s not like those other overly emotional— wait what? Cress cries a lot and that’s totally fine? Winter is an emotional wreck and Scarlet fully helps and supports her through it in her own ways? Oh….
Wow cress is a hacker that’s so cool she’s obviously the most capable woman— oh shit Cinder is the best mechanic in New Beijing? Oh Scarlet is a pilot and runs a whole ass farm? Oh that’s not even any of their main personality traits????
Oh ew Winter wears ball gowns everywhere and her problem is that she’s too pretty and she’s obsessed with this one boy that’s so stupid— oh wait? She’s slowly losing her mind because she refuses to manipulate others? She uses her docile appearance to her advantage and understands social structures better than anyone else there? Even though she doesn’t have any STEM abilities it’s her ability to make people feel heard and understood that makes her so powerful?? Oh.
Even Iko who’s the most fashion-obsessed boy-crazy of the bunch is still deeper than that, a lot of that coming from her desire to be seen as her own person and establish an identity apart from her programming, which is just very real to growing up. Girlhood is a spectrum, and when you only see one type of girl, you get the message that that’s the type of girl it’s okay to be.
TLC doesn’t just subvert that, it actively addresses it. Cress is jealous of the others sometimes, and she actively has to remind herself that it’s not Iko or Winter’s fault that they’re conventionally attractive, and it doesn’t make anyone any less of a person. Scarlet initially assumes that Winter is doltish and crazy and doesn’t realise until much later that she’s much more than she seems. It feels uncomfortable to read those parts now for me, mostly because I recognise myself in them. We’re taught to see other women as rivals, but jealousy is treated as an evil trait instead of a normal symptom of our upbringing. Showing it, letting it be something we all have to overcome, letting ourselves be ugly for a moment, is just as important as showing why our jealousy is misguided.
Show me all the girls. Show me the girls who had boy band posters plastered on their walls. Show me the girls who would rather wear cargo pants than skirts. Show me the girls who love high heels and fancy dresses. Show me the girls who fall somewhere in between. Show me the girls who like science and the girls who like to fight and the girls who spend all day wrapped in stories and fictional worlds. Show me the girls who dream of their Prince Charming and the girls who never even thought about it.
Because all of the girls deserve their happily ever after.

unstoppable force (thorne trying to figure out where they are) vs immovable object (cress being amazed by everything around her)
Unstoppable force (cinder trying to make sure things dont go too far and hiding every chance possible to not cause a scene) vs inmovable object (kai stabbing levana with sissors in front of all worldwide tv transmitions)
Unstoppable force (Cinder concentrating on using her gift on Sybil in middle of a battle) vs Immovable object (Thorne opening her control panel)
Unstoppable force (Wolf trying to protect Scarlet from the horrors he knows will be waiting for her in paris) vs immovable object (Scarlet walking in with a gun)
Me at the ripe age of 25 in my front row seat to the Cinder movie
The individual stakes in the Lunar Chronicles are hilarious to me.
Cinder is the missing Lunar princess, and Iko’s her best friend. Kai is an Emperor and being perused by Levena as a political pawn. Wolf is one of Levena’s mind controlled soldiers who was sent after Scarlet, whose grandmother was part of Selene’s rescue team. Winter is Levana’s stepdaughter, and Jacin was raised alongside her and they basically the only family they each have left. Cress is Levena’s secret weapon who has been trying desperately to warn Earth about Levana’s plans, and is the daughter of a rouge Lunar scientist defying Levena.
And then there’s Thorne, who is only nvolved in saving the universe because Cinder took a wrong turn into his cell while trying to escape from prison 😂

Q: First Memorable Realization?
Me: Well, I think I’ve always known I was Ace, but I realized I was homosexual when I said I wish I could kiss one of my favorite girl book characters.
