does anybody know the artist of these specific tlc fan arts? because they truely are the backbone of this fandom and provided 'official' depictions of all the characters for us for yearssss

#that one of winter is so nostalgic to me #i had it blu tacked to my wall when i was 10 #and even though i imagine most of them differently now kai looks exactly like that in my head still #and thorne #the lunar chronicles #tlc #babbles⋆｡˚

"they ran your dna while you were unconscious and you're definitely selene" im sure dr erland did it at some point but how funny would it be if after all that she wasn't Actually selene

#it makes no logical sense #but like #can you imagine #the lunar chronicles #linh cinder #connie rereads the lunar chronicles

[hehecypress]

in my mind most of the canon tlc ages are not correct

#what do you mean cinder is 16 #nuh uh #what do you mean cress is also 16 #simply untrue #what do you mean cress is in love with a 20 year old #not correct #theyre all at least 18 #i cant imagine cinder as a sophomore or junior in high school #preposterous #the lunar #the lunar chronicles #tlc

Can you imagine Kai doing La Bise with Scarlet because he was raised in all the correct ways to greet someone according to their culture, but when Thorne tries to do it, Wolf steps between him and Scarlet with a scowl.

#tlc #the lunar chronicles #lunar chronicles #emperor kai #carswell thorne #wolflet #scarlet benoit #wolf kesley #I imagine Scarlet does it to Cinder and she wigs because eastern commonwealth greetings is bowing

Reading ya is a little weird now bc wtf do u mean this mc leading a revolution is 16. Go take your permit test bitch.

still reeling from the one agent saying they want "subtle" fairy tale retellings like Cinder, and idk if we're thinking about the same Cinder there are literally quotes from the og fairy tale before the corresponding chapters?????? so you know exactly where we are in the plot??????

#rose and rambles #i will probably delete this one later but like?????????? #like?????????????????????? #i would not describe that one as subtle #it is different and imaginative because it takes place in a sci-fi dystopian future BUT IT IS LITERALLY #A CINDERELLA STORY?!?! AND DOES NOT LET YOU FORGET IT FOR ONE MOMENT???? #im pretty sure it has the quotes from the fairy tale i might be misremembering but the Cress one does for sure #like the chemical makeup is just full on the fairy tales i feel like if you want subtle it would have to be like #less obvious that it's a retelling? like just echoes of the key moments or imagery #but Cinder by Marissa Meyer is so fully cinderella even in the different genre #im going to be so stupidly bitter about this BUT IM RIGHT #whats also funny is the agent could be talking about a different cinder idk #she diDN'T PUT THE AUTHOR but the one by Marissa Meyer is popular and the only one i know at the top of my head #subtle #that was not the word you were looking for i think #just to be clear i love cinder and the lunar chronicles so so so so much #but THEY ARE WHOLE-HEARTEDLY FAIRY TALES #EMBRACE IT????? PLEASE????? #the only subtle retelling example i can think of is Ella Enchanted or Fairest #both by Gail Carson Levine. More so Fairest because it's like one specific moment where the apple comes in that you're like oooooooooooh #this is snow white #but Ella Enchanted is more like Cinderella i think it would be hard to not see the parallels #Cinderella is hard because you just need a mean stepmom and two stepsister and that's an instant give away #but Ella Enchanted has its own Vibes that it comes off as its own thing ya know ya know?

Cress: People actually tell their crushes they like them??

Jacin: What the hell do you do?

Cress: I die? Lmao what kinda question

#another jacin incorrect quote 👉👈 #I can just imagine him so clearly dissing people #the lunar chronicles #tlc #cress darnel #jacin clay #jacress #incorrect quotes

[ikosburneraccount]

cress was fighting for her life on those net screens being a carswell thorne apologist

#do you think she doxxed people who called her out on it #like she must've been on the stan twitter/social channels up until the very end defending this guy #what would cress' mutuals think if she went offline abruptly #do you think they missed her? #WAIT #OOMF SAVED THE WORLD #AND THEYRE TALKING ABOUT CRESS #I WOULD HAVE TO CRY FROM LAUGHTERRRRRRRRRRRRR #OOMF WORKED FOR LEVANA #OOMF IS AN INFANTICIDE SURVIVOR #you a wattpad fic writer of the third era gaining clout from being mutuals with a girl who used to beta your stories #imagine THAT being your come up story #cress would've definitely had a Tumblr #she would never survive the brutality of twitter #like let's BFFR no bitch from twitter *squeaks* like she does #that's Tumblr behavior #love her though! #mine #the lunar chronicles

Who do you use for your references for lunar chronicles characters? Thanks 🤍

hmm to be honest i dont have all 9 main character references yet, bc im so particular about how i imagine them to look,, so far i have everyone apart from kai and wolf😭 i havent seen someone that looks how i imagine them on my pinterest yet :( but as for the others, i think ive posted a lot of them before but this is who i have so far :

oh also some of these characters have tweaks i make to the references when i draw them

cinder:

tweaks: metal limbs, bangs, lighter brown hair, bangs, more tan

scarlet:

tweaks: cut off pinkie finger if im drawing her post book 4 (if i remember loll) , fuller cheeks, hair more curly, eyebrow slit because its fun idc that its not canon😩

cress:

tweaks: freckles in the rare occasion that i remember, wavy hair, tan if im drawing her after she leaves the satellite, looooong tangled hair if shes still on the sattelite

winter :

i dont have an exact winter match so i use these two and kinda merge them

tweaks: 3 face scars, very curly hair

iko:

tweaks: blue eyebrows and braids, colour changing eyes depending on vibes ig, i tend to default to gold

kai:

STILL PENDING😓 i imagine him to look like that one laura hollingsworth drawing of him but i havent find an irl person that looks similar enough to him yet :(

thorne:

tweaks: metal fingers if its post winter, darker brown hair, stubble if he's in prison or in the desert ^ honestly this one is all in theory, i dont even remember the last time i drew him loll

wolf:

ALSO STILL PENDING😓😓😓😓😓 its kinda difficult with him bc i have to figure out his usual design and his post- wolf surgery look😩 hes so so so hard to draw

jacin:

tweaks : literally none, this is the most jacin looking person ive ever seen

lollll actually this has made me realise how unoften i draw most of these characters😭

bonus because i have more references for people who arent in the main 9

evret:

tweaks: nothing major, i think that in fairest his hair is described as coily so theres that

torin:

tweaks: torins like in his 50s or 60s,,, so older looking, some grey hairs

i had ones for sybil and aimery but upon rethinking, i actually dont think they look like the references i picked out so i'll leave them off here

#i have far too many thoughts about hypothetical character designs for someone who posts only once in a blue moon #im actually soooo stressed trying to find references for wolf and levana specifically #wolf because hes the one person who i dont have a clear mental image for #i think maybe how eerna draws him is how i would imagine him the most? #and levana bc her descriptions are so contradictory #shes simultaneiously supposed to look like winters mum. a south asian woman. while also being white (in appearance) ... like ????? #how does one draw her.. #asks #anon #thanks for the ask this was really fun #tlc #the lunar chronicles #cba to tag all the characters over here #mine

One of the funniest things about The Lunar Chronicles for me is that the UK still has a queen

#humanoid androids? cyborgs? moon people who developed brainwashing capabilities? #all imaginable #the uk as a republic or with a king? unimaginable #this has arguably become funnier now that Charles IS king #the lunar chronicles #i made an original post #the countries in the lunar chronicles fascinate me to no end tbh #part time booklr

you know who buzz lightyear would look like if his face was less bulky?

cadet carswell thorne.

scarlets wedding dress, give me thoughs

I CANT FIND CUTE SHORT WEDDING DRESSES ANYWHERE IN GOING INSANbark bark

ok so my mental image has been heavily influenced by the new inner cover art for stars above + my own preferences for wedding dresses but this is kinda what i pictured with the high lace neckline and puffy sleeves (psst just imagine the second dress is short)

i don’t remember how exactly it was described in sosn but it is def very vintage no matter what idc
