I haven’t gotten into it on this blog, but I’ve been super into The Lunar Chronicles since September 2022. Anyway, below are my late night ramblings that nobody cares about on why Angel with a Shotgun is Jacin Clay’s song. I’m making this list at 1:45 in the morning while I’m supposed to be packing for a trip, so this isn’t gonna be neatly organized or coherent lol.
Spoilers below for Cress and Winter btw
Alright, so we’re properly introduced to Jacin during Cress. He’s made a couple cameos in Cinder iirc (at least one) but it’s during the third book we finally learn his name, personality etc.
A crucial part of his character is of course, his Princess Winter, aka childhood best friend/crush. Typically around others he’s serious, sarcastic, cold. But with her it’s like….I mean look he keeps his face and mind blank around others as a place guard of Queen Levana’s would but whenever it comes to Winter it’s just….his face visibly changes ok this doesn’t make much sense now that I’m reading it but onwards.
Onto the analysis of Angel with a Shotgun and how it relates to Jacin Clay
““And they say before you start a war, you better know what you’re fighting for. Well baby you are all that I adore, if love is what you need a soldier I will be.”
-He stays as a puppet of Levana so he could stay and protect Winter the best he can, he doesn’t want to leave her alone. He knows Levana despises Winter and would take any chance to hurt her/kill her (as shown when she inflicted her scars and when she gave her letumosis.)
-”I’ll throw away my faith babe just to keep you safe, don’t you know you’re eveyrthing I have.”
-He’s not loyal to Levana whatsoever (“I serve my princess, no one else.”)he’s loyal only to Princess Winter. He risked their lives and kills Ryu in order to fake her death and help her escape.
-”“Sometimes to win, you have to sin.”
As I said above, betrayed Rampion crew and killed Ryu for Winter.
-”“And I wanna live not just survive.”
He wants to be a fuckingh doctor ok he doesn’t wanna be a palace guard he wants to be a doctor. He wants to live.
Anyway, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, I love Jacin Clay and this essay isn’t structured properly but I stand by every word goodnight.

its a national tragedy we didn’t get a moment between winter and scarlet at the end of winter after she woke up from her coma. you’d think that after everything that happened and how their relationship was such a big part of the book that they would have gotten a moment at the end. ik the book was already over 800 pages but give my girls another scene!! let scarlet tell winter how strong she is, how brave she is. let winter feel accepted, let her feel comfort. let my girls have a tender moment💔

"oooooh, I know the comics aren't canon, but I wonder if Simon did an 'Ice King Apology Tour' in the main show continuity as well?"
Guys, let's not kid ourselves.
Simon's first instinct is to apologize for the actions of his Alternative Universe Counterparts.
OF COURSE HE DID A FUCKING ICE KING APOLOGY TOUR!

I recently read Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles (I really liked it). And now, while I was cleaning my room, I was listening to music on headphones and came across a song that, in some moments, perfectly describes the relationship between Princess Winter and Yasin Clay.
"And you hug me, my Winter, until we go crazy together .. " Wow, it's so cute
P. S. this song is Russian, it was sung by the "no cosmonauts" (КОСМОНАВТОВ НЕТ) group, it's called "my winter"(моя зима)
Upd: Turns out you can add music here.

Okay, I had a couple hours and I wanted to make a scenario for my last post
I like the thought of Fionna, Cake and Simon doing goofy little crossover missions that Prismo heavily suggests they go on but cant actually assign
I like to think he has 0 memory of being the actual Winter King. Then he regains them and decides to become Simon Petri-cough drop for the rest of his life
Please dont repost/reupload to other websites :)
