Some Sci-Fi Obsessions

im such a fan of how Andor painted revolution as a movement of a million shitty, desperate, deserving-better people throwing their bodies on the gears, the machinery, and the levers of power. One way out and it might not even be your way out. Maybe there was never a way out for you. But you helped carve the way for everyone behind you, and isn't that worth everything?

LOVE THIS!!!✨❤️

one of my favorite parts of the lunar chronicles has always been how batshit insane it is. just the the genuine unhingery. the main character kidnaps her love interest from his wedding. said love interest stabs his arranged bride (a murderous dictator) with scissors at the altar. cress and thorne stay at an inn in the middle of the desert, and while he’s fucking around gambling she gets kidnapped into an underground medical experimentation human trafficking ring and bought by her long lost father. there’s evil moon people. scarlet and wolf get it on in a boxcar after like two days of knowing each other. 4/9 of the main cast aren’t human. cinder crashes kai’s wedding (again), murders twenty people, and jumps off a ten story balcony into a lake. kai keeps cinder’s metal foot so he can stare at it and long after her while she’s a wanted fugitive. cress fangirls over and stalks her outlaw crush on the internet for years and then bags him when they meet. not one of them is over twenty or mentally sound btw. no other YA series is doing it like that. applause

I’ve made a trillion posts about this but I truly love how Cinder is both the cool girl with a sarcastic sense of humour and also the girl that’s completely in love with the hot emperor. Her narrative will make a dry joke one second and the next it’s about Kai’s dreamy eyes

I just realized… in The Lunar Chronicles, Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress have all shot their love interest at least once. Like, Cinder shot Kai with a tranq dart when she kidnapped him, Scarlet shot Wolf in the arm to stop him from killing Ran (the first time), and Cress shot off two of Thorne’s fingers to save Cinder. And yet they’re all so cute together 😅

I feel like Cinder's fans would treat her different phases like musician eras, i.e. Mechanic Cinder, Fugitive Cinder, Princess Selene, Revolutionary Cinder, Queen Selene, Empress Selene. So whenever Cinder debuts a new look everyone jokes "new album coming 😍" and make collages of her different aesthetics. There are quizzes called "Which Selene era are you?"
