Okay but can we talk about how beautiful of a title Empress Selene is? Like Emperor Kaito and Empress Selene??? That’s such a gorgeous pair of names. Also the fact that Cinder has a cool name (Cinder obvi) and a fancy royal name (Selene), is also dope. She gets the best of both worlds *que Hannah Montana
I think social media would really lean into that Hannah Montana idea, to the point that it's a running joke (John Cena level) that Selene and Cinder are completely different people. e.g:

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!

Some of My TLC Head Canons That Just Make Sense | Part One
1. Thorne complained to Kai about the whole soap situation and Kai actually changed the soap in prison to be less ‘drying’ for the skin. *Cue to Cinder facepalming.*
2. KAI IS A CAT PERSON AND I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.
3. Winter is abnormally calm around wild animals and insects. While Thorne and Kai are freaking out, Winter is just there petting a snake and offering a bear some tea.
4. Kai’s go-to drink is tea, and Cinder’s go-to drink is coffee. She drinks so much coffee in a day that Kai gets genuinely concerned for her so he offers her some tea instead but Cinder refuses and proceeds to aggressive sip on her 8th cup of coffee that day.
5. Winter named every single animal at Scarlet’s farm. TELL ME IM WRONG.
6. Wolf also has a weird obsession with bread.
7. Sometimes, Jacin gets stumped with his school work and Cinder does research on it and helps him out. He passed with flying colors because of this.
8. The entire crew would be swifties — emphasis on Kai and Iko — if Taylor Swift existed during their time. (Jacin would feign nonchalance whenever a Taylor song comes on but when he’s alone, he would blast the album Lover in his headphones. Winter caught him dancing to Taylor once and promised she wouldn’t tell anyone.)
9. Winter has like a 50-step hair care routine and she totally dragged Scarlet into the whole curly hair girl routine thing. Scarlets hair has never been healthier and Wolf loves playing with it.
10. Kai is very interested in philosophy and would read tons of books + do a lot of research about it. Cinder would listen to him ranting about it, sometimes stopping to make a joke, usually resulting to them laughing so hard they end up on the floor.
11. Kai’s favorite number is eleven. One because it represents intuition and two because he just likes the way it looks. Everyone was a little confused at first but eventually just went along with it.
12. Iko and Winter (our delulu queens) get bored sometimes and creates very complicated plots and characters in their heads with each other. They have a lot of inside jokes with each other because of this.

Iko: What is love?
Cress: I unfollowed some meme pages so Thorne could send me some memes I hadn't seen before.

“You’re even more painful to look at than she is.“
Redraw of the original that you can find here
Kinda messed up the shadows, but oh well. I didn’t really care enough to go back and fix it. Maybe I will later, who knows? Hope you enjoy!

The fact that two female characters who are not romantically involved with Kai feel nothing but immense relief and safety when seeing him and immediately run to him tells you a lot about how he treats women.
