The list is in mainly publication order, with the last book split into two volumes, with HAHB put directly after LWW because that’s most likely how it would be marketed if published now, I believe

narnia movies + text posts (part 11)

it’s such a shame that pop culture is familiar enough with the Narnia books for people to make “lol, the Lion is Jesus and Santa Claus shows up in the first book” jokes but nobody who hasn’t read them knows that Dionysus shows up in the second one.

King Lune told Corin not to pick fights with people weaker than him cause that makes him a bully but if he wants to pick fights with someone bigger and get beat up that's his perogative and Corin really said "okay" then went off to pick a fight with a bear, huh.

Narnia PSA

Not to be controversial or anything but the #1 thing I ask for of the Greta Gerwig reboot is for the fandom of mostly now adults who grew up with the books and the movies to be kind to the children who get cast. I'm a Star Wars and a PJO fan and I've basically hit my limit with people being absolutely horrible towards literal children who have no real say in the casting process other than to audition based on whatever the character breakdowns are (which again, is an element of this process that they have no control over) and work with the material that is given to them. Children in the industry are already SO vulnerable to a number of different things that they do not need Internet vitriol to be added to the pile - I cannot imagine being 12 years old and knowing that bunch of adults apparently hate me and think I'm somehow personally responsible for ruining something they love from their childhood. Spreading and encouraging this attitude - ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE AN ADULT - is not only unfair to these kids, it's flat-out wrong. Idc if the adaptation is good or bad, I will not stand for it, nor should anybody else. I am VERY worried about this cycle repeating itself again when the casting gets announced, so if nobody else is going to put out this warning then I'm taking it upon myself to do so. If you are a mature individual, then please act like it and please encourage those around you to do the same. These kids are probably going to be very excited to get cast and they do not deserve for anyone to take that joy away from them. Remember, most of us came to this series as kids, and it belongs to this new generation of kids just as much as it belongs to us adults who grew up with it. This includes the kids who get cast. Again, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE REBOOT IS GOOD OR BAD. THESE KIDS DESERVE TO BE TREATED WITH KINDNESS AND RESPECT REGARDLESS. Please let us behave in a manner that Aslan would be proud of rather than disappointed in

I had a guy friend send me a playlist called “songs to be brutally hatefucked to” and I was neither being harassed or flirted with. Life is strange.

Playing d&d is for making a character that’s sure they’re evil and irredeemable and then making everyone love them. As a treat. And also they kill people : D

[lasaraleen]

I think the reason the list is like that is going by publication order, and knowing how often Lewis got forced to change titles etc, it would have been like this had they been published now, most likely.

the pithiest bit of wisdom I gleaned from reading CS Lewis' Christian apologia as an atheist teenager is the notion that the good God loves love and hates hatred. I think it's a nice tweak to the old do unto others as you would have them do unto you moral maxim because in a pinch you can condense it to the four word string love love hate hatred, which is easier to recall in a moment of temptation owing to its brevity
