#also to me Polly is either a lesbian or aroace

[fairmerthefarmer]

I’ve been thinking about the Magicians Nephew, right now specifically Polly Plummer and in an attempt to get back into doing art outside of work.

I’ve been thinking of what she’d maybe look like in the book and then as she ages (except it turns out I have such a hard time visualizing the passage of time in decades I was not alive in)

most of the references I looked at for clothes was anywhere from 1900-1940s. Maybe some late Victorian in her younger dresses? Not sure. Mostly Edwardian.

I like to think of her definitely going to school, and then becoming a journalist. She’s super sharp and level headed in the Magicians Nephew, and also has an interest in writing.

Also she definitely wore pants.

More rambling stuff under the cut if you’re specifically like me and fixated on Narnia for most of your life

Ok so c.s. Lewis isn’t very well known for his like, accuracy/timelines making sense. (The beavers somehow had potatoes and other vegetables despite it being a 100 year winter).

The magicians nephew takes place in somewhere between 1900-1910, cause that’s his childhood. And then LWW takes place in the 1940s, so like at the oldest Digory and Polly would be in their 50s by then, but also Digory is an old eccentric professor with white hair?

(I could be wrong and maybe that does work timeline wise, and I suppose in different eras, 50s is a lot older. My brain just doesn’t compute that at ALL. At the very least the movie version of the professor DOESNT look like he’s only in his 50s with how they made him look.)

I am also not a clothing expert at all, but it’s cool looking up fashion from different eras. I slightly interpret Polly as having a rich family because her first thought seeing digory is “oh he’s dirty”. I think it’s a thing that richer Edwardian children were usually dressed in light colours which wrapping my head around is tough, cause like, are their play clothes also white?

9, 10, 11, 12!

thank you aurora <333

9. headcanons on the girls' gender/orientations?

anne: shes the ONLY ONE I have a solid unchanging headcanon for and it's that she's a trans lesbian and uses she/her and it's so FUNNY to me bc literally everyone else I heard talk about it agrees chshvsjvvjs

sasha: i've gone back and forth on her the most i think, but lately i've been enjoying she/he genderfluid lesbian sasha! though i go back and forth on whether she's a lesbian or bi still sjhsjdjhs. also somewhat related but i like the idea that sasha keeps her long hair bc she deserves to have a manbun

marcy: I go back and forth with her a lot too, between she/they nonbinary lesbian or nonbinary aroace mostly I just haven't been able to settle on one lol. either way none of them are cis or straight in my mind

10. do you think that the show will actually confirm any of the girls' ships?

it's hard to say, and I think it all depends on what matt and the crew put through disney's censors. if a ship were to be canon IN SHOW, based on context clues it would be either sashanne or marcanne. though if there's any possibility of sashannarcy being canon, with poly ships still being seen as 'taboo', I think it would be a korrasami kind of ending. maybe there a timeskip to the three girls sharing an apartment, or spending time together in a way that could be read as either romantic or platonic, and then confirmed by matt post-show. it'll be interesting to see what happens regardless!

11. episodes/moments that you think are underrated?

this discussion came up a couple days ago and I didn't realize that a lot of people don't like cracking mrs. croaker? which doesn't make sense to me personally, since it's one of the funnier and memorable filler episodes for me. i love mrs. croaker a lot (she's probably my 2nd favourite wartwoodian after maddie) so finding out she's a kickass old lady with a nemesis is hilarious to me! and we also get anne calling her hot and her and polly looking at pictures of hot croaker which just SENDS me

12. characters that you think are underrated?

i actually really like felicia sundew, and grew to like her even more after ivy on the run! not only does she show to be a good mom who does genuinely keep her daughters interests in mind, but damn can she kick ass too <3
