thinking back to my tlc posts in 2015-16 i was soooooo valid for calling kai “emperor foot fetish.” like i genuinely thought i was being dramatic or dragging tf out of the foot jokes but no. even in retrospect kai is still unhinged for hoarding her foot like he is no less insane than i remember him being like 7 (BARF) years ago 

#the last time i was this active in the fandom i was literally 14 *sob emoji* #my reread of this entire series was literally triggered by this assignment i had to do for my 1 credit college class #and the assignment was to make a 'past journey map' where we talk about the stuff that shaped us as people #and i put the lunar chronicles on there but i assumed no one would recognize it because this series is pretty niche #and i showed it to my friend as a joke but she recognized the series and we BOTH WERENT EXPECTING THAT #so now we're in the process of rereading #im mostly done and she's about to finish scarlet #and we've managed to convince three of our other mutual friends to start reading the series #like i haven't been this excited about something in sooooooooooo long #and rereading has made me soooooo nostalgic but i promise you this is so much better than the fandom was 7 years ago #like it was actually unhinged. i found a post arguing to tag kiko as kinko because the kiko tag was full of other content #literally was fighting grown adults on this website at 13 #adults romanticizing cresswell. ADULTS FULLY GROWN 20+ CAREER ADULTS #like there was <200 lunar chronicles fanfics on ao3 #lovelunarchron had the fandom in a CHOKEHOLD #this is pre-eerna too #the lunar chronicles #mine #prince kai
