Someone in class today pointed out that the reason Eómer is the one who is with Eówyn when she wakes up is because she canonically has a deeper love for Eómer than Aragorn. She doesn't know that, but she does. So when Aragorn has done all he can to heal her physically, he slips away and tells Eómer to hold her hand and keep calling out her name. It's the voice of her brother calling her name that wakes her. It's the voice of the last person alive that she truly, deeply loves.

Bonus points for the fact that in Prince Caspian, when Aslan calls Lucy's name and wakes her from sleep, the first two people she thinks the voice might be are 1) her father and 2) Peter.

Nobody writes brother-sister dymanics like Tollers and Jack.

So, in class today we discussed the Houses of Healing chapter of Return of the King, and I don't have a full thought but all I can think about is how cool it would be to read A Grief Observed by CS Lewis, and then read just that chapter, and maybe "The Steward and the King." I think it would be an incredible reflection on grief and healing and idk man I am feeling feelings.

"One man, George! You said one man was buried here! Care to point him out?"

[justjudethoughts]

"You didn't actually aim at all, did you?" Lockwood said.

"No."

"You just chucked it. In fact, it was pure blind luck that George lost his balance and fell out of the way. That's why he wasn't kebabbed by you."

"Yup."

God the Father be like "sometimes my babies have blue hair, sorry radical american conservatives who think all outward appearance reflect inward dispositions. Babies with blue hair need to be loved, too" and that was so girl-dad of him.

I personally think God pulled a Saul-to-Paul move on us by giving us a "blue haired girl" mascot, considering the number of times I've heard the term "blue haired liberal" in American conservative media.

Honestly, that was a very God the Father style thing do methinks, I most certainly do not believe this is a coincidence and I 100% trust in the Church AND God's sense of sassy humour.

I finally made the meme I've had in my head for over a year

[justjudethoughts]

God the reveal of the Lockwood's final lecture and his realisation that his parents were murdered. Imagine Cameron Chapman's acting it out? seeing the pamphlet and the date on it. Imagine the conversation with Lucy and them reading the important parts?

(also imagine Jack and Ruby acting out their scene before crossing the iron bridge when Kipps is fatally injured?)

pov: your toxic traits are isolation and avoidance but your love languages are quality time and physical touch

What if the thing that makes Lockwood immediately attach to Lucy is that she can still feel? What if, in a society where the children have been turned into soldiers and any form of vulnerability is seen as weakness, Lockwood sees Lucy Carlyle and is struck with how good she is. Because he's turned off his emotions, done everything he can to go numb, but she can't do that. She stands in front of him, a bleeding heart, day in and day out. And she's just as strong as him. She picks up her rapier and fights beside him. And she is still moved by the suffering of others, by beauty, by everything.

Maybe when Lockwood says "We need you, Lucy. And it's not because you're an asset...because you're Lucy Carlyle" what that really translates to is "we need you because you see the world in a way we can't anymore. We need you because there is a part of your heart that has somehow escaped unscathed—the part that feels. And in this calloused, cruel world, we need you. We need you to remind us beauty exists and life is worth living."

Officially headcanoning that Jess's full name is Jessica Thérèse Lockwood.

GET BACK TO THE CIRCLE

[justjudethoughts]

It's canonically stated that Lockwood doesn't like sugar in his tea. (I believe it was in the Creeping Shadow)

So I now have a firm belief that Lucy puts sugar in Lockwood’s tea whenever she's pissed at him. He might already know she's upset, so sometimes the sweet taste is not a surprise to him. But other times, when he's unaware of what she's feeling, he sips his tea and gets a surprise -oh f*ck I did something what did I do???- moment.

The amount of sugar also depends on the severity of what he did. Sometimes he doesn't even taste it, there's so little. Other times his tea is the consistency of mud.

One time in particular Lucy offered him his cup just as she always did. He took it with thanks and went to take a drink when he looked down.

There was no tea.

She handed him a cup of sugar.

Lockwood had never been more afraid in his life.

Me, 8 years old: Jill's kinda dumb and stupid, it's so easy to remember the Signs and half the bad things wouldn't have happened and it'd have been way less stressful if she'd just remembered them like she was supposed to I don't like her and Silver Chair is such kinda scary weird book and half of that is because Jill didn't do what she was supposed to

Me, 24 years old: Oh. I get it now. I am Jill Pole.

people will see a character with good intentions fall to evil and NOT see that as a tragedy with is wrong with you

the plot of prince caspian is so funny to me it’s like “locals bring back ghosts from hundreds of years ago to help defeat the evil king” except it’s from the point of view of the ghosts
