Welcome to my blog!!!
Previously known as @yourdaddyfigure. This is strictly a (18+ only) blog. So please if youâre under the age of 18 kindly show some respect and do not follow me or any blog I interact with in this community.
I very much love interacting with my mutuals and following. So please feel free to come chat, all I ask is that you please be respectful and I promise to do the same. Also, donât get angry at me if I donât respond to your messages immediately. This will lead to you getting blocked. We all have our own things to worry about outside of tumblr and sometimes needing a mental break is very much needed.
Note Iâm not interested in any sexting, so if thatâs your endgame here you will sadly be disappointed. I much rather just have genuine conversations with all of you and hear all about you instead.
The best way to reach me is through ask which are open to all. ð«¶ðŒ I am more likely to reply to asks & anons.
I am straight however please note that I heavily support LGBT+ð³ïžâð and if you do not, well thereâs the door.
A Couple Rules!
First and please I can't say this enough. DO NOT address me as Daddy EVER. May it be in comments, messages, or even ask. Yes, I am a Daddy, but I am not YOUR Daddy.
This blog will not tolerate any type of negative behavior. Be kind or leave. If you're going to be negative on my blog in any way, may it be comments, ask or messages you will be immediately blocked no questions asked.
If I see any of you interact with any underage/minors in any capacity I will report you and block you without a second thought.
If thereâs no sign of your age in your bio or in a pinned post you made for yourself you will be immediately blocked. Same goes for any blank blogs.
Please respect yourself and my mutuals always!
So for now this is all I got 𥰠sorry that itâs pretty lengthy. If any of you actually took the time to read all of this, thank you so much and hereâs your golden star ð. Stay safe and hydrated my friends!
If anyone is interested in joining the emoji army youâre more than welcome to do so! Just please donât copy someoneâs emoji. The list is below ð Thank you! ð«¶ðŒ

Some Themed Asks for your Gem OCs
I always enjoy these little ask games to help build up lore about my characters, but so many of them are too human in scope for my Gem OCs- thus, I decided to throw together a set of Steven Universe specific questions for all of your OC and gemsona desires.
Questions are sorted into "eras" thematically. Enjoy!
Era 1:
âïžWhich court does your Gem belong to, if any? ðWhat is your Gemâs planet of origin and given designation? (Ex: Facet-2F5L Cut-5XG⊠Facet-5, Cut 8XM⊠Facet-413, Cabochon-12âŠ) ðDescribe your Gemâs gemstone. What color, shape, facet pattern, and placement does it have? ð ïžWhat is your Gemâs given role under the Diamond Authority? ðWhere does your Gem perform their duties? Do they travel a lot for their role, or mostly stay in one place? ð§ŠDoes your Gem get along with others of the same cut? ðïžHas your Gem ever partaken in fusion with someone of the same cut? ðŒDoes your Gem report to anyone below the Diamonds? What do they think about this authority figure? ð¥Has your Gem ever been rejuvenated? If so, how many times? ðªŠDoes your Gem harbor any hidden desires they think might get them shattered?
Era 2:
ðžWas your Gem incubated before Pink Diamondâs shattering, or after? If after, does your Gem differ from others of their cut due to Homeworldâs Diamond essence shortage? ðDoes your Gem like the role they were given, or is there another role in society they would rather have? ðª¢Does your Gem have any friends outside their cut? ðªCan your Gem summon any weapon or special item? ðHas your Gem ever heard of the rebellion on Earth? If so, do they have any opinions on it? ðª©Has your Gem ever partaken in fusion with someone of a different cut? If so, do they defy Homeworldâs fusion rules openly or keep it secret? ðïžYour Gem has been reassigned to perform their duty on a planet or settlement of their choice. Where do they go? ð«§Has your Gem ever been poofed? How? ðYour Gem discovers that someone they work alongside is off-color in some fashion. Do they narc to a superior, or keep this secret? ðªDoes your Gem know anyone whoâs been shattered?
Era 3:
ðIn the wake of this brand new era, where does your Gemâs loyalty lie? (The Diamonds? Themself? Someone else?) ðWould your Gem ever consider attending Little Homeschool, why or why not? âïžWhat is your Gemâs honest opinion of Steven, if they are aware of his role in Gem history? ðªName three hobbies your Gem partakes in. ðDescribe your Gemâs idea of a perfect day. â§ïžImagine your Gem is presented with the concept of human gender. Do they have any preference in how they are perceived or addressed? ðDoes your Gem have any non-Gem friends? ðWould your Gem ever consider living as a permafusion? ðHas your Gem ever tried ingesting food or liquid? If so, what is their opinion on this activity? ð»Assign your Gem an instrument. What type of sound do you feel best captures their vibe?

ð Emotion, atmosphere and environment: A writing exercise for show-don't-tell
Before we go any further, I want to make it clear that I'm not aggressively against telling. Sometimes telling works for a whole bunch of valid reasons. If you know me at all, you'll be aware of where I stand on the issue of narrow, prescriptive writing rules (if you don't know me, hi, I despise narrow, prescriptive writing rules)
But "How do I show instead of telling?" is still a thing a lot of newer writers have difficulty with and that's what I'd like to dig into. So here's a writing exercise you could try to help build depth and atmosphere around the emotion your character is feeling...
ð§ First of all, pick an emotional experience.
For illustrative purposes, I'm going with LOSS. Then express that emotional experience in ways that can be perceived physically. The following are just suggestions, not an exhaustive list.
ðš How could the emotion be expressed as a colour?
Grey, maybe. Slate grey. Or a muted petrol blue, perhaps.
ð How could the emotion be expressed as a sound?
Deep silence interrupted only by the sound of a ticking clock.
ð How could the emotion be expressed as a physical action?
Your hand reaching to grasp for comfort out of habit and hope, fingers curling around something remembered, then dropping back to the coldness of the other side of the bed, empty.
ð How could the emotion be expressed as a weather condition or natural phenomenon?
The storm passed an hour ago, leaving only an occasional flurry of sleet that melts on contact with the window, sliding down the glass like tears. Outside, a tree that shed its leaves in autumn bows in tired silhouette against the halo of a single streetlight.
ð¡ How could the emotion be expressed as a room?
Your nightstand holds the bottle of water you filled before trudging upstairs at midnight, your phone still plugged in even though the battery was full three hours ago, and the glasses you'll put on again as soon as you wake up after sleep eventually manages to swallow you. The nightstand on the other side of the bed holds a small tear-off calendar showing November eighteenth even though it's now January second and a book lying open and face-down with the spine sinking into itself. In the corner of the room, there's a chair with clothes carelessly draped over it a month and a half ago that you still can't bring yourself to put in the laundry. It's four o'clock in the morning and you'd give anything to hear breathing that wasn't your own.
You could try it for different emotions and different situations, in isolation and then connected to something you're in the process of writing.
How could anger, for example, be expressed differently in an office environment compared to a wilderness landscape? How could joy be shown in summer versus winter? How could fear be embodied in high fantasy compared to cyberpunk?
If relating environments to emotions doesn't click for you straight away, could you focus on single-sense experiences for a while? What colour is regret? What does anticipation taste like?
If you have synesthesia (hello, fellow synesthetes!) this could be a wild ride, but hopefully it'll also be fun and useful for anyone having difficulty connecting to the idea of show-don't-tell.
Happy writing! ð

Good morning ð In case you missed the news, I wanted to remind everyone that The Baudelaires are starting fresh. But I'd like to make note of a few things.
I have moved the old Baudelaire content to this blog for organizing purposes (still need to pick a theme and tag everything though). Their posts will still be here but I wanted to free up their tags but still make it available to read chronologically if desired. So I figured this would be the easiest way to do that.
The Baudelaires will still feature poses and whatnot. Like I'm not going to only be doing gameplay and this is still a story after all. But, unlike in the past, I'm going to try and use the game to determine the personalities, interests, hobbies, etc. and roll with some of the randomness it throws at me, and use the challenge rules to determine their fates where it calls for it.
We will be doing away with realistic aging. I went back and forth on this a ton and have decided that for the sake of gameplay, and my busy schedule, this is the easiest way for me to play and keep track of things. I also feel it won't get me sucked in too deep / heavy into exclusively posing and keep me interested in actually playing my pixels. I also really want to be able to enjoy each decade for longer and lean into tropes from the decades and feel this is the best way for me to do that.
Sadly, I'm also going to do away with telling an Irish history perspective. It was really hard to make that decision and it's still a hyper fixation of mine, but it feels like a larger project than I can handle right now. In the future, I think it could be really cool to explore that with a realistic timeline but, for now, we will put that to rest and save it for another day.
I really hope people aren't too disappointed with this choice and still feel connected to my story regardless, even if it's a bit less realistic. I'm feeling a little insecure about this decision solely for the fact most decades challenges use a realistic aging / time progression system and really like to lean into the realism aspect of it all. However, I know at the end of the day, this is supposed to be for me and this is what is best for where I'm at in life right now.
I also would like to add that I admire whatever way people choose to play their game and my decision is not a reflection of me not liking or enjoying the content that exists in this space. I adore the stories, and the dedication people have for telling a story that means something to them, regardless if they consider themselves more storytelling, gameplay or a mixture of both.
And to end on a happier note, I've been on my last vacation for the year so I have a lot in the queue and will be doing daily posts Monday - Friday, otherwise I'm going to get too far ahead of where you guys are in the story. If the queue starts to run out, I'll switch to Monday, Wednesdays, and Friday again. Baudelaires return starting on Monday morning @ 10:00 am cst! :3 Be there or be square ð«µð»
#blarg why am i feeling so nervous :(#also i always feel like i sound like a celebrity or something when i make posts like this?? lol#like AH why is communicating so embarrassing LOL

thoughts on prince mario if him and peach get married? (way down the line of course lol)
how would he handle it all?
LOVE the thought of Prince/King Mario! ðð
Quick tangent regarding the title itself: I have been considering the headcanon that in order to become King or Queen, a sovereign must share the throne with a spouse; hence why Peach was always referred to as "Princess" throughout her life despite being the sole ruler of her realm, and would be designated as such until the day she would finally announce her marital union with Mario. It would be the equivalent of calling her a maiden, so to speak!
Mario's royal title would only be in actual use after the wedding ceremony, but I imagine that most toads would already whisper it excitedly among themselves as soon as he and Peach would officially start courting. The words "future king" would be on everyone's lips, and he would inevitably hear those in a few hushed conversations while taking Peach on various romantic excursions in town.
It would feel... odd, to say the least. Naturally, he would worry; fearing that he may not be remotely qualified to handle such a colossal responsibility nor have what it takes to rule a kingdom. But Peach would be quick to reassure him, reminding him of his great benevolence and noble heart. Of his undaunted courage and tremendous selflessness. Of all the things that really do make him a gifted and most wonderful leader. She would be there to assist and guide him, showing him how most administrative tasks are delegated to committees and that sharing the workload throughout the castle is very important. She would tell him this with a knowing smile, alluding to his less than healthy habit of always handling things on his own, and with her help, he would gradually become more accustomed to the idea.
To his own surprise, it would reveal to be a lot less intimidating and complicated than he had previously thought. The role itself would be fairly manageable, albeit monopolizing and mentally tiring on some days. Mario would come to miss the leisure and spare time that he once had in vast quantities, and seeing the reverence with which others would now treat him would leave him with a bittersweet and wistful sort of nostalgia everytime. But seeing the unfathomable love in Peach's eyes and the proud admiration in Luigi's would never fail to comfort him, and he would fulfill his duties with unprecedented diligence.
Throughout the years, Mario's reputation would only spread and gain in splendor, and he would later be known as the greatest king any realm has ever had. ðð°

MARS, the planet of ACTION: What type of exercise Mars in each sign makes me think of

Note: this is not necessarily advice about exercise to consider based on your Mars sign. So many things in the chart and the individualâs life will tweak the picture. Being that Iâm a 6th house Mars whoâs making it a goal lately to exercise daily (or most-dailyð) because I see the benefits for my mental and physical health of having intentional physical activity in my routine, this is just my musings on the type of exercise that comes to mind first/strongest when thinking about the archetypes of each sign. âš
Mars in Aries- lifting weights/strength training ðïžââïž Mars at home! I thought about maybe also going with martial arts for this one! â€ïžâð¥ Mars/Aries does have a strong purpose for defense. As the first sign in the zodiac, Ariesâ archetype is also that of a straightforward, more simple and direct energy. To simply get buff seems like quite the way to pay tribute to this potent combined yang energy! ðª
Mars in Taurus- Yoga ð§ðœââïž Taurus needs something at a bit slower of a physical pace, and the very conscientious attention yoga places on your relationship with your body is very Taurus/2nd house. Plus every Taurus rising Iâve ever known has been into meditation and/or yoga. ð€·ââïž Always looking for the calmest ways to do things! ð§ââïž
Mars in Gemini- Running ðð»ââïž idk this just seems like a flighty Mars sign! ðââïžððš
Mars in Cancer- In-home exercise, regardless of type, is what immediately comes to mind! Maybe a really pimped out Mars in Cancer would have an in-home pool.ð§ð ðââïžð
Mars in Leo- Dancing! ðð»ðºðŒThis is my Mars sign and never been a dancer, so this goes to show how Iâm just thinking about the archetypes of the signs. But the Sunâs gotta shine/will get noticed ð and dancing also is so highly CREATIVE. âïž
Mars in Virgo- Gymnastics ð€žð¿ââïž Iâm just so impressed with the precisionâïž in the routines of gymnasts. Perhaps Pilates is another example, thatâs a little more common place. I personally avoid any exercise that requires attention to precise detail as it gets my Mars worked up in a bad wayð€âŠ so more power to anyone whoâs built to like this type of exercise!
Mars in Libra- Ballet ð©° The pure archetype of Libra is grace. Enough said.
Mars in Scorpio- whichever combat sport or martial art is the slyest. ð Mars at home I think could be quite motivated to be fighting somebody; but Scorpioâs gonna be concerned with technique, not in it to make a big bold scene. ð€º
Mars in Sagittarius- Hiking ð¥Ÿðð² Or biking! ðŽð»ââïž The sign built for exploring. Hiking is always an adventure. You never quite know what youâll see even when youâre hiking nature trails youâve hiked before. And it tends to be a popular activity when visiting new places. âïž
Mars in Capricorn- Climbing ð§ðœââïž Climbing has an obvious association with Capricorn. ðð And Caps could always use inspiration to reach some pinnacle! ð Also, fun fact, Saturn is the planet that rules the skeletal system and muscles in medical astrology. ð©» Climbing works basically every muscle in your body!
Mars in Aquarius- some eccentric aerial sport. ð I donât know much about anything in this area, I just know something thatâs done in the air ð¬ïž and something thatâs unusual makes me think of Aquarius! âïž
Mars in Pisces- Swimming ðââïž Iâm giving the final waterð§sign, the one most like the vastness of the whole ocean, this official association with swimming. Related fun fact: my Pisceanð grandmother was the one who taught me how to swim (and was very delighted to do it). ð
Bonus thoughts, from a Mars conjunct Venus: itâs really worth considering exercise that puts you in nature if you too have this conjunction, or Venus in harmonious aspect with Mars!ð²ð· On this note, Iâd think of Mars-Mercury being suited for things that are also exercise for the mind, Mars-Sun being suited for daytime outside exercise, Mars-Moon being a good fit for nighttime exercise, and exercise in new places or that doesnât follow a set routine being suited for Mars-Jupiter!

€ð | Entry #1
Ah, how I love the feeling of a new diary! The vigor of a new adventure unfolding. I still need to find a safe place for my old journals.. my many old journals.. but permeant storage is scarce. Thus is the life of a traveler. Nonetheless; while on my way to Scaleswind, I happened upon a small village by the name of "Phoenix Drop". It's in quite the dire state. The Lord and Lady were presumed missing weeks ago, and the only thing holding up the failing community is the head Guard, Garroth, who seems to be terribly out of his depth. I know, I know! I shouldn't get involved. But something about this place is.. calling me. I feel strangely at home here, a feeling I've long forgotten about. It wouldn't be so terrible to stay just a little while longer, could it?
ã
€ ð¡ ËËË DESCRIPTION .á ã
€
The village of Phoenix Drop is crumbling. Its missing Lord abandons the town and leaves behind a deteriorating foundationâuntil a lone traveler takes matters into her own hands. Tirelessly, she works to restore the small community. With each passing day, recovery looks eminent, and soon, sheâll be onto her next adventure. But a simple act of kindness has just set in motion unpredictable events.
Heavy responsibilities. Boundless new experiences ahead. Impending doom always right around the corner. Prophetic destinies left in stone.
Does our adventurer have what it takes to be a leader? Or will the pressure destroy herâand everything she loves?
My reality largely follows the main plot of the series, with a few tweaks here and there. FOR INSTANCE, the biggest plot change I've made is that the whole "going into the Irene Dimension and 15 years passing in the Overworld" thing never happens. It makes me too sadâ I've also fleshed out/re-written a lot of the worldbuilding, which I'm quite a fan of!! I've changed the Divine Warriors lore, main antagonists, the Meif'wa and and Lupine species, and even added in new species/regions like MERMAIDS!!! I still really want to expand more aspects, like Zoey's birthplace (the Yggdrasil Forest) or each region, so when I do I'll be sure to make posts about them because yapping is fun!! ã
€
ã
€ ð¡ ËËË BACKGROUND LORE .á ã
€
Lord Malik originally led Phoenix Drop. He was a decent rulerâcared for his peopleâbut was rather inexperienced and lazy. Garroth was appointed head Guard by Malik pretty quickly, considering Phoenix Drop has always been a rather small village. Malik ruled as Lord for a few years before being killed by Shadow Knights. His wife and child went missing the same night. It's still unknown why his family was targeted, but regardless of the reason, it left the village without a leader. Garroth launched an investigation to find... no evidence. You can imagine the amount of stress that comes with this situation; a Guard who's way in over his head, not knowing how to be a leader, and the citizens who are highly suspicious and afraid their families might be next. THAT'S WHERE I COME IN!! But more on that in the next postð ã

Elements of different canons apply to them, but not all :) Link prefers emojis and sign language where they can, but will type if absolutely necessary. He can read! Hearing is mid, and he's functionally mute for secret reasons to be revealed later. No rules that I can think of just don't bully him too much--

Princess celestia is the younger sister of empress Luna. Her role was switched with her sister so now she becomes Day breaker instead.Princess celestia was put on a high pedestal as soon as she was born. She was the new golden child. Celestia was cruel,bold,confident,selfish,childish,greedy,and hotheaded. She treated ponies like they were her playthings. Celestia may have been the golden child and had the attention from both the court and common ponies but what she truly wanted over everything else was the throne. If she had the throne then the sun will forever shine over equestria against the evil darkness.She just needed to take it away from her older sister. She truly believed she could have been a better ruler than her no good older sister. So celestia collected sun supporters and tried go stage a coup. It didnât work because Luna is to powerful and she has her own moon supporters so the battle of the two sisters turned into a flown blown civil war. Celestia tried to gain an upper hand in battle against her sister by using the elements of harmony. But the elements of harmony wonât let themselves be used for selfish purposes so her powers were observed from her and she was defeated. Before Luna could do something Celestia uses a little of her magic to teleport her and her supporters off into the world never to be seen again. Itâs believed that Celestia and her followers formed their own civilization that would evolved into the sun empire. This would cause the original civilization that empress Luna ruled from to become the moon empire.Celestia would realized that having a throne isnât what itâs cracked up to be. She was finally able to break away from daybreak.She dismantled her followers and put those involved in jail. She mellowed out and would later grow and mature and have the cannon celestia personality. She later realized what sheâs become and come to regret her actions against her sister. She taken herself out of her older sister life afraid that Luna hates her.The guilt would forever eat her alive. She is too afraid to reach out to her older sister. Celestia hopes that Luna can forgive her past actions and be sisters again.Note:celestia is half phoenix, which makes her the ancestor of the phoenixâs

Cosmic Architecture
ðïžð How Ancient Civilizations Built the Stars into Their Structures ðð
Ever wondered why certain ancient structures seem to align perfectly with celestial events? It's not just coincidence - our ancestors were master sky-watchers who integrated astrology and astronomy into their architecture. Let's explore this fascinating fusion of earth and sky!
ð The Zodiac in Stone:
Great Pyramid of Giza ðº
Aligned with cardinal directions
Air shafts point to important stars in Orion and Draco constellations
Possible connection to Orion's Belt (Osiris in Egyptian mythology)
Angkor Wat, Cambodia ð
Layout mimics the constellation Draco
Aligned with solar equinoxes
Possible representation of the Hindu cosmic ocean
Stonehenge, England ð¿
Aligns with summer solstice sunrise
Possible lunar calendar function
Theories suggest connections to eclipses and planetary cycles
Chichen Itza, Mexico ð
El Castillo pyramid aligns with Venus cycles
Equinox shadow resembles a serpent (Kukulkan)
Observatory (El Caracol) tracks Venus, equinoxes, and solstices
Newgrange, Ireland ð
Winter solstice sunrise illuminates inner chamber
Possible lunar alignments
Spiral carvings might represent celestial movements
ð€¯ Mind-Blowing Connections:
Sacred Geometry: Many structures use the Golden Ratio (1.618), mirroring patterns found in nature and the cosmos
Astronomical Precision: Some alignments are so accurate they still work thousands of years later!
Global Phenomenon: Cultures worldwide, often with no contact, developed similar astrological architecture
ð® Astrological Implications:
Taurus â - Earth Sign Connection: Many of these structures emphasize groundedness and permanence, reflecting Taurus energy
Leo â - Solar Alignments: Solstice alignments might relate to Leo's ruling planet, the Sun
Sagittarius â - Quest for Knowledge: The explorer spirit of Sagittarius reflects in the astronomical curiosity of these builders
Capricorn â - Enduring Structures: The longevity and ambition of these projects resonate with Capricorn traits
Aquarius â - Visionary Innovation: The forward-thinking, almost alien-like precision embodies Aquarian energy
ð§ Unique Perspectives:
Time Capsules of Ancient Astrology: These structures preserve astrological knowledge from millennia ago, offering insights into how our ancestors viewed cosmic cycles
Architectural Horoscopes: Could the placement and alignments of these structures be seen as a kind of "architectural horoscope" for entire civilizations?
Energetic Ley Lines: Some theorize these structures were built on Earth's "energy points," amplifying cosmic connections
Modern Astrological Architecture: How might we incorporate these principles into modern buildings for better cosmic harmony?
Personal Cosmic Spaces: Could aligning our living spaces with celestial events enhance our connection to astrological energies?
ð Food for Thought:
How might our understanding of astrology change if we viewed it through the lens of ancient architecture?
Could there be undiscovered astrological alignments in other ancient (or even modern) structures?
How does knowing about these cosmic connections change your perspective on human history and capability?
Remember, every time you look at these ancient wonders, you're not just seeing stones and mortar - you're witnessing a cosmic map, a celestial clock, and an astrological textbook all rolled into one. Our ancestors left us a legacy written in the stars and etched in stone. What cosmic messages are we leaving for future generations? ð ðïž

Congrats, you're an adult. Now get out of the magic wardrobe!?
(or Susan Pevensie Deserved Better)
ðŠâð¥ð§ââïžð°ðð§ââïžðð°âšð§ââïžðð§ââïžðððâðŠðð¹ð§ââïžð®ð§ââïžðºð
Fantasy has long served as a refuge. As children, we consume stories of grand quests, destiny and good and evil with a sense of wonder, accepting their narratives as self-evident truths. But returning to the genre as an adult, I keep noticing implicit existential dilemmas buried beneath the surface. Fantasy often dictates that meaning is externally assessed rather than internally constructed. When a character is spurred into action, itâs a result of societal oppression, of familial responsibility or corrupt systems. Which isn't to say these motivations aren't valid, but resists the idea that purpose can be built. Worse, when a character seems to have fulfilled their purpose, they're cast aside, which suggests that growing up means losing one's place in the story altogether.
Susan Pevensie, once a crowned queen of Narnia, is absent from The Last Battle. Sheâs conspicuously dismissed as someone who has abandoned their belief in Aslan and their shared past. The justification given by her siblings is unerringly trivial. Apparently Susan is preoccupied with ânylons and lipstick and invitationsâ, as though an interest in adult concerns is a moral failing.
As a child, this seemed to me as an unfortunate but natural consequence of growing up âwrongâ. I didn't question it. Instead, I took it as a warning (not that I had the words for exactly what I was afraid of). I wanted to remain on the right side of the story - that invisible line between being included and cast out. I wanted to be someone Aslan would still call by name. I didn't yet realize that growing up would put me at risk.
I remember finishing The Last Battle and staring at the page where Peter casually announces that Susan is 'no longer a friend of Narnia'. There's no grief in these words, and no suggestion that they might one day try to bring her back. I was unsettled but didn't know why. Years later, I do. The story never gives Susan space to choose her path. She's not present to defend herself, explain or challenge their assumptions about her. She's just gone, written out of the grand finale of the world she once ruled. And that absence felt cruel.
It's important to acknowledge that, as a child, I was terrified of growing up. Not in the superficial sense of getting older, but in the deeper, more insidious way of losing something intangible - wonder, belief, belonging. Stories like The Chronicles of Narnia made me feel like I could be locked out of something magical without realizing it was happening. That one day, without warning, I might cross an invisible threshold and find that the door had closed behind me.
I wonder if Susan felt the same.
Purpose: A Limited-Time Offer (While Supplies Last!)
In an existentialist frame of mind (i.e my perpetual state) Susanâs story represents the struggle between internal and external meaning. Purpose is unambiguous in Narnia; Aslan provides direction, prophecy determines significance and the moral framework is binary. Yet Susanâs choice to embrace the often mundane world of adulthood disrupts this paradigm. Sheâs not given the opportunity to begin defining meaning for herself nor is she permitted to exist in both spaces whilst she figures it out. Her narrative is entirely abandoned.Â
This isnât an isolated phenomenon. Time and time again, fantasy opposes the concept that meaning can exist outside the structure of predetermined journeys. Frodo Baggins, after the events of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, is unable to find peace in the world he saved, and must leave Middle-Earth entirely. Lyra Belaqua in His Dark Materials is forced to relinquish her connection to Will to control the balance of Dust, and finds herself stripped of her gift to read the Alethiometer. Even Wendy Darling from Peter Pan is only ever allowed a brief return to Neverland, but only as an observer of a childhood she has outgrown. The underlying message in all these stories is the same: meaning is a gift of youth, and once you step outside the boundaries of childhood, the meaning dissolves.
This notion counters existentialist thought, which rejects the concept of inherent meaning in general. In Sartrean existentialism (a theory developed by French philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre) , a person must construct their own significance in a world that offers relatively little. Thereâs no universally-assigned purpose, rather, itâs our task to forge purpose through our actions, choices and relationships. Susanâs exile from Narnia is particularly striking in this context. Her siblings, by virtue of their unwavering belief, are granted the ultimate reward of eternal life in Aslanâs Country. However, Susan is left behind - not because sheâs done anything immoral, but because she dared to define her own priorities.Â
Escaping the Narrative Cage
What does all this say about fantasy as a genre? For all its potential to explore profound themes of heroism, morality and transformation, fantasy tends to cling to a rigid, externalized depiction of meaning. Itâs a genre deeply concerned with fate and higher power, and the idea that oneâs significance is bestowed instead of self-created. This is why characters like Lyra, Frodo and Susan face existential crises when they reach the end of their assigned journeys - because fantasy struggles to reconcile a meaningful existence beyond an ordained quest.
Yet must growing up always signify an exit from meaning in the fantastical sense? Or is there a way to accommodate existentialism within the fantasy narrative? Perhaps Susanâs story isnât a tragedy, but an opportunity. If we read her exclusion as an open ended question instead of a punishment, then she becomes the only Pevensie who is truly free. Sheâs no longer bound by divine intervention, and must construct meaning for herself in a way that is both more difficult and more authentic. Unlike her siblings, Susan is left with the burden (and the privilege) of shaping her own narrative.
Maybe that's why I keep coming back to fantasy, despite its blind spots. Even as I notice the way it struggles to make space for meaning outside the domain of childhood, I still get caught up in stories of prophecies and chosen ones, of magical worlds and impossible quests. I read them differently now though. I no longer want to be handed a destiny; I want to carve out my own. Rather than seeing Susan Pevensie as a cautionary tale, to me, she represents a rare figure whoâs given the chance to discover what meaning looks like once the story ends.
