No words, I just love Cinder. I love his hair. EVERYTHING URHFYHGRUHURFHU I ALWAYS WANTED TO DRAW HIM PROPERLY BECAUSE I ONLY DREW THE CHIBI VERSION OF HIM IN THE FADED MOON EVENT😭😭😭
I’m not sure but I remember something about Cinder’s eyes are supposed to be a very pale blue? Or maybe I’m just talking out of my own ass idk sorry ceru😔🙏
He’s holding a black leather bag (I know, doesn’t go with his outfit but I just HAVE TO SHOW HIS HAND WITH THE RINGS AND THE PAINTED NAILS RRAAAHSJHSUSNUSNJ)
Also another (not so) secret reason that I suddenly have a boost of motivation to draw him is because of a Thai song called Cinderalla - Tattoo Color and I just thought about Cinder. Had to draw him. The lyrics probably don’t fit him BUT AT LEAST THE TITLE DOES🕺
Anyway I hope you like this piece🥹🫶✨I know for one that I really enjoyed drawing him and coloring his hair <3333 I’m not the best at drawing hands do his hand might look a lil wonky😭

a thought 🤔💭
Consider this post an offshoot of this one!
A lot of the world lore we receive comes directly from the 22-student main cast of NRC. However, this information they provide us with shouldn’t always be taken at face value 💦 Characters can be unreliable narrators; they won’t be 100% honest with us just because we’re the player.
There are points where they speak with sarcasm (so it negates the words they actually say). This happens a lot with Leona’s lines. Other times, characters intentionally say something to avoid implying something else or to cover up a less savory truth. An example of this may be Azul, who is highly concerned with maintaining his self image. Therefore, not everything he says may be entirely truthful, as the words may be intentionally changed to preserve his self image. We need to more carefully parse through and determine what is true and what is false or insincere of the information they disperse to us. It’s much easier, of course, to get a sense for their intentions by listening to their voiced home screen lines rather than just reading the text snd comparing it to their facial expressions, but voices aren’t always available.
Something else I was thinking about that goes hand-in-hand with this is how different backgrounds bias clouds the information given out or can provide an incomplete sample of the TWST population. For example, if you think about it, NRC only has ~800 students and we only see 22 of them. That’s a very small fraction of the total population of Twisted Wonderland (the whole world)—not to mention that almost 75% of those 22 come from at least upper middle class or at least “special” or privileged families:
Riddle’s parents are both medical mages, with his mother being particularly well-known in their hometown’s community. He had the privilege of studying magic since he was very young (which is notable since education is typically general and does not include magic unless you specifically go to a school for it like NRC).
Cater’s dad is a banker. I’m guessing he has to be pretty high up on the food chain to be traveling all the time (and far enough to separate Cater from his friends every time they do), as a regular low-level banker would stay put at one bank location and devote most of their time there.
Leona is a prince, and so is Malleus. Whether they are crown prince or not doesn’t matter because they still receive great educations and access to great funds either way.
Azul’s mom owns and operates the most famous restaurant in the ENTIRE Coral Sea. His stepdad is also a lawyer.
The Leech twins’ father has important connections and is highly influential in the Coral Sea; they are probably loaded because of this. (Popular fan speculation is the Leech mob family.)
Kalim’s dad is a wealthy trader and he is related to royalty; as the eldest son, Kalim is going to inherit the business. The Asim family’s enormous wealth is mention several times over in the main story, voice lines, vignettes, and events.
Jamil’s family is also said to be well-off.
Vil is an A-list celebrity and his father is as well.
We don’t know the specifics about Rook’s family, but they must be influential and deal in some kind of international business, as Rook mentions they have villas and warp pads (which require special clearance for) all over Twisted Wonderland.
Idia and Ortho’s family legit runs a secret government organization that studies blot. Idia himself is a child prodigy, and is set to become the next director after his father and grandmother.
Lilia is a renown war general and was close friends with his country’s crown princess and her spouse. He lives humbly, but he still has highly influential connections that a regular person wouldn’t.
Silver is Lilia’s adopted son, so by extension, he comes from a privileged background. Even if he technically grew up in a hut in the middle of the woods and didn’t live luxuriously, he still has Lilia’s social connections.
Sebek’s parents are both dentists and do you know how much money dentists make—
Ace, Trey, Jack, and Epel come from normal income families (excluding the portion in book 5 when Epel said his family’s farm has fallen on hard times).
Ruggie comes from extreme poverty while Deuce’s family has had financial issues due to being a single parent household.
And that’s not even to mention that NRC is all-male and mostly 16-18 year olds, thus skewing the perspectives we see in a “male” and “adolescent” direction. This will naturally limit the scope of how they see the world and how they speak about it, even if the characters themselves don’t intend for it to happen. In fact, I wonder if part of the reason the NRC boys aren’t open to accepting help or being open with others when they’re struggling isn’t purely a school-exclusive thing. Maybe it’s because 1) teenagers tend to be largely egocentric/focused on themselves anyway, and 2) society largely discourages men from showing “weakness” and NRC happens to attract particularly prideful students 😭 but the most obvious example of background limiting scope of perception are definitely the super sheltered, super wealthy characters (Malleus, Kalim, etc.).
Just getting our information from them won’t be entirely accurate to how the rest of the population acts or perceives things. We cannot 100% rely on what we know of the TWST boys’ behaviors to assess what everyone or everything else is like.

Hi, I've never seen one w/ Laena but there is at least one Viz goes back in time and he declares never to remarry again. As what he should have done to ensure Rhaenyra's claim more solidly 🤔Is that what you mean? He really set his own daughter up for failure.
Hypothetically, if he did marry Laena Viz likely would have had to been more involved in the Stepstones I imagine. Unfortunately, we don't know if it would have made any difference on his resistance to Daemyra thou. Or if Otto would have been rightfully ousted.
I like to imagine the girls could have been friends and supporters of each other thou too
Ah, a reasonable reply!! 😅❤️
Honestly I respect the concept of viserys not remarrying, as his father did, as his uncle did. I do lean towards that first just personally. But neither Baelon nor Aemon had their wives cut open and their babes torn from their corpses.. so there's definitely some difference between them. I also do think he cared quite a bit about having a son despite how he really seemed to not take to fatherhood at all 🙄
Alas, that viserys could have been persuaded to seal an alliance once more with Corlys through a future betrothal with his daughter. Corlys could even insist that the marriage not take place before she's 18 or whatever to spare her longer idk
with the stepstones thing, he could have sent daemon as a way of showing his support while not actually going himself which allows for daemons own victory, his own friendship with corlys, laenor, and even laena herself
(I wonder, would she proposition him just before her wedding?? The babe would have white hair regardless, and a family resemblance could easily be explained away? Would daemon agree? This is directly before he's reunited with rhaenyra after years apart... Perhaps he's lonely, perhaps he wishes to hurt his brother even secretly? Perhaps he wishes to help his dear cousin who will never know pleasure from his brothers bed)
I don't know if viserys would agree to a betrothal between rhaenyra and daemon so easily, youre right. but I don't know if he would fight it so much in different circumstances 🤔 if corlys or even rhaenys held seats on the council as part of their agreement Otto might naturally hold less overall power because that's two people who don't like him, though he could still leech onto the king himself.
When daemon and rhaenyra fall in love, in whatever circumstances they find in this new world, he might find it's the best for all anyway. They are two twin flames, able to be tamed by no other, not even daemons recently deceased wife (who better have died naturally I s2g don't make daemon kill her 🤬) he might see it as taking care of two potential problems in one. His daughter married, his brother, silenced in his wishes for a Targaryen wife. Maybe he even bitterly wishes for his daughter to "learn daemons true nature the hard way" thinking he will soon grow tired of his young plaything
Maybe laena does end up carrying a babe though maybe it's unknown who the father "actually" is(it hardly matters in the end, especially when she sees how happy daemon is with rhaenyra. There's is love, while they shared a night together), and perhaps laena and rhaenyra even do enter into a friendship of sorts. Perhaps after childbirth especially, when rhaenyra meets her new sibling, and can't help but find some love and happiness for her cousin. But I think laena would prioritize her cousin even during those first nine months
The king has a second daughter now though, and suddenly seems to stop talking entirely about a son of his own. If two wives have given him daughters then perhaps daughters are all the gods will give him. Then daemon and rhaenyra come before the king and request marriage, and things shift again.
After the wedding, when she falls pregnant, rhaenyra finds friendship in her cousins laena and rhaenys, the latter the closest to a mother she has left and the former a real friend.
