Yess!!!!

Portraits of  The Lunar Chronicles gals before and after I revisited them for Redbubble. I like to flip back and forth between these images to see the little differences.

iko: So you shot the Emperor.

cinder: Yeah.

iko: And you kidnapped him.

cinder: Yeah.

iko: And brought him here.

cinder: I panicked.

iko: Yup. This isn't going to end with us burying the pieces of his body out in the desert, is it? As a reminder, this is why I always come up with the plans.

iko: Your plans suck.

Three of the pages I’ve finished in my Lunar Chronicles coloring books. I absolutely love it. The pages are all so pretty and unique, and perfect for colored pencils. @kat-adara did an amazing job! I highly recommend it. I’ll share more photos as I finish pages! They aren’t perfect but so far I’d say I’m doing okay :).

Loved this movie!!

TLC and the Avengers

I’ve been mulling this over for a long time, so here’s the TLC crew and their corresponding Avengers. 

Cinder: Captain America/Steve Rogers. I had a hard time choosing for Cinder, I considered Scarlet Witch for a bit but Steve is in the running with Tony for leader of the pack, and I think their personalities fit better. Cinder is a scrawny, constantly beaten-down kid who just wants out, and while Steve chose the army Cinder didn’t really have an option since she’s a cyborg. They both owe their success at least in part to a slightly crazy old scientist who later dies, and they both spend a lot of time in absolute awe of their abilities because over night they’re not powerless anymore. Neither of them is comfortable with being the face of a movement, but they definitely don’t want to just be a figurehead for someone else to use. And they’re both such sarcastic little shits, I swear to god. 

Kai: I have no fucking clue someone help me. 

Scarlet: Hawkeye/Clint Barton. Now before you get mad that she’s not Black Widow, let me explain. Scar (in the beginning anyway) is probably the least damaged member of the team, she lives on a farm and had an actual family (we’re going to ignore the bullshit out of nowhere wife/kids that Whedon tossed in so he could do Bruce/Natasha with absolutely 0 development), she also has a serious affinity for long-range weapons and will sympathize with people everyone assumes is the enemy (to quote Clint during Thor, “Better call it Coulson, I’m starting to root for this guy”). Other than Thorne, who has actual military training, she is the normal one who, at first glance, has no noticeable abilities. Also has a somewhat confusing relationship with the bad ass super spy who can kill people quite easily with his bare hands. 

Wolf: Black Widow/Natasha Romanov. HEAR ME OUT OKAY. Who was raised from a young age to be an assassin/murderer and turned only after doing things they aren’t proud of? Who apparently has experience with actual weapons but often turns to hand-to-hand combat? Who spends about half of their first appearance pretending to be someone they’re not? Who had to literally murder their fellow soldiers? Who went through horrible, invasive surgical procedures, brainwashing and mind control only to finally turn and join the “right side”? That’s right, Ze’ev Kesley. I’d say he could be Banner, but Banner doesn’t have the same history with brainwashing/abuse as a kid (as far as we know in the MCU). I’m also tempted to say the Winter Soldier just because of the sexy murder walk. 

Cress: Hulk/Bruce Banner. Okay, this has very little to do with actual abilities and more to do with personality. Cress is definitely the smartest of the group, but she’s also the most reserved and really not good at social interaction. Bruce spends most of his time in the movies just trying not to freak out and doing complex math/science, and while he hasn’t really played an especially critical role in the series I think their personalities are very similar. Cress is clearly a more developed and interesting character, but I really don’t see anyone else she would be.   

Thorne: Iron Man/Tony Stark. He’d probably be pissed that I didn’t choose him for Cap, but let’s be real. Thorne is the annoying, smart, and rich playboy who seems to have it all that you like because he’s kind of funny but otherwise doesn’t have a whole lot of depth at first. He’s reckless and has some serious daddy issues but underneath it all is actually a pretty intelligent, somewhat decent guy. Regularly claims to be the leader (he isn’t), actually has absolutely no idea what’s going on because he is way out of his element but goddammit he will walk out the other side with that stupid grin on his face having somehow talked himself out of getting murdered. Manages to hide his pain pretty well. Also lacks any sort of supernatural/super science ability. 

Winter: Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff. Gorgeous, has incredible hair (in the comics anyway), and is absolutely terrified of her abilities. She’s far more powerful than she seems but has a hard time coping with her strength, as well as a hard time interacting with people she hasn’t known for very long. In a word, she’s weird and no one really knows what to do with her. The first member of the team to make any real connection with her is the somewhat normal one that really just wants to go home, 

Jacin: Quicksilver/Pietro Maximoff. I’m kind of iffy with this, mostly because Wanda and Pietro are siblings  (although clearly whoever wrote their interactions in the movie is an only child and has never seen a sibling relationship, please for the love of god stop letting straight white men do this), but if you remove the romantic aspect to Jacin and Winter’s relationship it definitely fits pretty well. Makes sacrifices constantly for the person he cares the most about, very sarcastic and has a tendency to get on everyone else’s nerves and literally couldn’t care less. Would probably respond to getting shot with an annoyed look (you know, that scene when Pietro gets shot by one of the Sokovian soldiers and BARELY REACTS), is loyal to no one but the person wants to protect. Of all the guys I always thought Jacin was the most self-sacrificing, with Wolf as a close second only because that man appears to be nearly invincible. 

BONUS

Torin: Coulson. He ridiculously overworked, please give him a raise. 

If anyone wants to add anything, feel free! 

Thorne: We need to get back to earth soon, I haven't been around real women in months!

Scarlet: Excuse me?

Thorne: Well Cinder's basically my sister and if I flirt with you Wolf would kill me

Scarlet: No he wouldn't.

Thorne: Really?

Scarlet: Of course not. I'd shoot you first.
