Dropping the latest Patreon Sketch-a-Wish for May! The opening scene for The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer, featuring Cinder, Kai, Iko (who is basically an EVE/Wall-E love-child), an unconscious Nainsi and a bunch of easter egg items, as requested in our poll. (can you point them out?)

This was definitely one where the background itself was its own character; There’s so much happening here and it’s very nuanced to the context of the scene. I think those who aren’t familiar with the book will have a hard time figuring out what’s happening here - but seriously, caption this artwork: “Doting dad drops off his two android kids at day camp where the youngest has already stolen the cyborg foot off of the caretaker.” … and it still works. 😂

In order to fish for Easter Egg items, I re-listed to the Lunar Chronicles for the first time since I first read them a few years back; they were my gateway series into the bookish community and I absolutely fell in love with it all over again! I have Gilded on my TBR shortlist, and just recently listed to Heartless last month. I’m definitely on a Meyer bender, with the fabulous Rebecca Soler (the narrator) to keep me company!

I originally made this for the anniversary event before realizing I was probably much too late. So here is the elevator scene from Cinder.

Thorne, on the Rampion: yknow this is a lot like the video game amongu- *gets punched in the face*

#supervising #yeah #he would get them all to play #and insist he is the captain #and always be the first one killed #bc he's going around supervising instead of doing tasks #and avoiding the impostor

like. there is just such a theme and pattern of tenderness in marissa meyers books. there’s a trend in ya lit for characters to be sarcastic and rude with each other and most of the characters in tlc and renegades have sarcastic senses of humor but like every character is motivated by love and tenderness and to actually better the world for both those they care about and the people they don’t even know. that’s what keeps me thinking about tlc even when there’s no more content! the books center around tenderness. there is a gentleness to them that is not found in other series.

#tru #so much love #they're all besties and im obsessed w them!! #i want what they have

Cinder: *pointing to a high shelf* Can you get that for me?

Thorne: *tearing up* You need me in your life after all

Cinder: I could also replace you with a step ladder, Carswell

watched the bad new Cinderella and remembered the Best Cinderella out there

Cinder: What seems to be the problem?

Kai: I don’t know exactly, but it all started when I was young and my mother died and all this responsibility was thrust on me.

Cinder: I meant with your port.

Kai: Oh, it hasn’t turned on since I slammed my head against it.

Thorne: I'm ignoring you.

Jacin:

Thorne: I said I'm IGNORING you.

Jacin:

Thorne: Hey, stop ignoring me while I'm ignoring you!

[they-need-a-revolutionary]

Kai: Okay, let’s go over this. What do we do when something goes wrong?

Cress: Try and fix it before Jacin gets back.

Kai: And if we can’t?

Cress: Blame it on Thorne.

[they-need-a-revolutionary]

Torin, on the phone: Kai, where are you?

Kai: I got lost.

Torin: That is very clear. Can you tell me a street name?

Kai: I’m by a cloud that looks like a lion.

Torin: I need you to be more specific.

Kai: Simba.

I Am Once Again Thinking about how the Rampion Crew's final book arcs revolved around members who weren't their love interests... Jacin seeks redemption in caring for Cress, the girl whose pain he'd ignored for so long... Scarlet witnesses every step of Winter's growth into power, right until the moment she uses her as a weapon to murder the symbol of her suffering... and ofc, in the very final, deciding battle of the series, Cinder and Thorne prove Levana's "love ain't shit" theory wrong with the power of their platonic love...... when will your found family ever

Kai: Just go the hospital!

Scarlet: Excuse me, does this look like OUR stab wound?! Stay out of it.
