Me yesterday: Hey write a fic about Edwin's mother, it'll be fun!

Me now: googling early 1900s astronomy and 1920s spiritualism and CS Lewis's Christian theological writings

Also me now: ...this started off as barely fanfic due to being about a character who is not even mentioned in this show and whom we know literally nothing about, and now is just in the realm of self-indulgent nonsense I think

#what the fuck am i DOING #i am not doing fandom right #but hey did you know that CS Lewis and Edwin would have been basically the same age #CS Lewis was 18 in 1916!#...this is not really about dead boy detectives #except that i set out to write dbda fanfic and am instead doing... whatever this is #anyway edwin missed out on so many foundational 20th century english children's books by dying in 1916 #RIP Edwin you would have hated Narnia I think #but he didn't miss out on sherlock holmes or the scarlet pimpernel so that's good #also he could have read anne of green gables
