Narnian's Sun

The sun began to crest the eastern horizon of Narnia. Her striking light began to shine through the windows of the great Palace of Care Paravel, greeting the High King and Lord of its halls. He welcomes her rays with open arms from his spot, stoking the fires of the forges he had tended to all through the night. Her light guided him as he poured the metal and cast a new sword.

From high up in the sky, at noon she would watch the youngest of the four rulers. Heard her joy filled laughter as she sat with the tenders of the palace fields. Hands as caked in mud as their own. The merry ruler smiled up at the sun, almost as though they were friends.

In the evening, as the sun sat low in the west she listened to a young man give a speech. His tongue was as silver as the crown that adorned his brow. With persuasive words and a raging passion he spoke and listened to all those around him. Taking in their advice and giving council to those who asked for it in return. 

While the sun was gone, and the moon glittered overhead, the gentlest ruler clasped her cloak. She had spent her day hidden from the sun, staying in the shelter of a tent, tending to those in her domain that had fallen ill. With the peace that came with the night and her subjects rest, she returned to those grand halls of Care Paravel. 

The sun eagerly waited to begin it all again.

Dryads are narnia's history holders. Think about it, trees live for so long, it makes so much sense that the dryads would have a rich oral history that they would pass down among themselves, but also share with the rest of the narnians.

In my heart, I know Susan Pevensie is still out there in the world, in her nineties. She inherited Digory Kirke's house and is currently living there as a sort of parallel/foil to him

[always-a-king-or-queen]

Do you think the Pevensies had any love interests in the Golden Age and when they returned to Finchley, they had to deal with not seeing their loved one. Perhaps when they returned to Narnia, they went looking for him/her and found them to be dead. How would they deal with everything?

sorry, I'm just getting around to answering this 😅

But yes, I think it's possible they might have! Susan and Lucy both canonically had a lot of suitors, and I like to think at least one of them would have been super special to them! In Lucy's case I think she would have fallen for some stable boy or such - certainly for someone who wouldn't exactly be suitable for a queen to be with ;) And for Susan, I think she would have fallen for a man who saw past her outer beauty and loved her for her heart. I can imagine she would've gotten tired of everyone constantly talking about how gorgeous she was and would have wanted something real and genuine beyond "you're so beautiful." I bet the first time someone said something to her that was different, her heart jumped a little and she did a double-take.

As for Edmund and Peter, Peter doesn't necessarily seem to me like someone who would've really pursued a relationship. I think he would be content with just being by himself. Ed would probably also be content with being by himself, but I think he also definitely wouldn't mind being in a relationship if the right one came along. It just might not be number one on his list of priorities, or even in the top ten. However, if someone had come along, I bet he would have fallen for her hard. (I used to have a headcanon that he secretly fell in love with an injured dryad he met in the woods. Or maybe it was a nymph, and maybe he was the one injured? It's been a while lol).

As for when they returned home, it would have hurt, just like everything else they lost when they returned home (movie-wise at least; in the books they don't miss their lives in Narnia too terribly much and it becomes kind of hazy to them when they aren't there, iirc). But eventually I think they would have worked through it and realized that they had had their time together, but it was ended now. I feel they would have reached a certain point of acceptance so that when they went back and found out how much time had passed, they wouldn't be heartbroken at learning their love was dead, because they had already been able to move on in the time they were gone. I do think they would have gone and searched for their graves, but mostly just to say goodbye and maybe grieve for just a short time.

Like most killers and hunters, Khorne keeps trophies from conquests made. Many of these mementos end up on the skull throne, as the Blood God has no qualms about mixing his accomplishments with those of his followers. However, some kills the Blood God wants immortalized and unlike many of his offspring, Kharneth is an old war dog who likes to ruminate on past glories. There are many ways he does this: skulls taken from foes, sagas carved into skin-bound books, black-rock walls, or even his own flesh.

And finally, one of the highest honors: the Blood God will turn a beast of foe of grand sport into a reconstructed brassed skeleton or, even rarer, a taxidermized piece with skin (mostly) intact. Their souls are bound to their corpses, yet they are rendered immobile and forced to exist in the Khorne's dread presence for the rest of time. However, there are occasions where game is scarce or not sporting enough or the Blood God simply wishes to re-experience the thrill of a particular hunt or kill.

It is during these instances that conquered gods, god-beasts, and other game-things Khorne sees fit to hunt may slip the Blood God's clutches. However, Khorne is a dogged pursuer and an old hand at the game of hunting. The vast majority of them never get far for very long...

Random thoughts on modern pevensie family

Today's issue: Taylor Swift

(sorry for my bad english. it's not my first lenguage and is hard)

Susan is a swiftie

She loves her but their siblings not so much

Peter wouldn't care

And Lucy probably sing her songs sometimes because Susan plays them all the time

But Edmund is a hater

I think he's was the kind of guy who just talk bad about taylor to annoy his sister

Before lww of course

When they get crowded susan admits to mrs beaver once that she kinda miss taylor

She is always quoting songs and the narnians eventually ended up covering at balls

Narnians don't exactly understand what a celebrity is so they think that Taylor is probably an important lady in spare oom

And that's how they called her Lady Taylor

The siblings find this hilarious and it's like an inside joke between them where they also start to quote taylor swifts songs like it was the Bible

"who is lady taylor" ask one young faun once

"she is a very important figure for the kings and queens" answer their mother "she is the mentor of queen Susan"

When they come back to England the lady taylor joke stays tho

I can see one them having a bad day and then the other being like "well as lady taylor says you got to shake it off"

Eventually they all ended up being big fans of her

And that's really funny for their mother, specially in edmund's case

"Didn't you hate that girl?"

"idk what you talking about. anti hero is about me"

[xhaoticprince]

Peter is Gryffindor, Susan is Ravenclaw, Edmund is Slytherin and Lucy is Hufflepuff. Alright but hear me out:

Lucy is Gryffindor. Brave Lucy, who didn't hesitate to go into an unknown magical world. She was ready to go to war, fighting with nothing more than a dagger. The same Lucy to who Aslan said "If you were any braver, you would be a lioness" ?

Peter is Hufflepuff. Peter for his unfailing loyalty, who was ready to go to war for his sister and for people he didn't know previously but already holds close to his heart. Peter who, when none of their parents were present, had to take care of his family himself. The same who, far before his younger brother came back, had already forgiven him.

Edmund is Ravenclaw. He is the wise one, the one who thinks before talking. Edmund of the silver tongue. Edmund learned from the harsher, dark(er) part of Narnia, and learned from his mistakes

And of course (and I won't take any criticism) Susan is Slytherin. Because although she is the most logical one, she knew how to use her charms to get what she wanted. Susan who's words could be like poison. She is the ambitious one, she uses her wit to get what she wants

Headcanons about when the Pevensie siblings returned to England (the first time)

When they came back to England through the wardrobe and they returned to their younger bodies, naturally all the scars they received in Narnia disappeared. All but one, the one in on Edmund’s stomach remained, the one he got at his first battle. No one really knew why he still had it, why it hadn’t disappeared it just didn’t. It was there and it served as a constant reminder of the white witch, that the experience had been real.

Everyone noticed a change in the Pevensies when they came back from the countryside. That included their teachers.

Lucy was suddenly a very clever girl, not that she hadn’t been before, but now she had a maturity to her. Her reading ability had improved immensely and she wrote the most beautiful poems.

Edmund’s demeanour had turned a whole 180°. He was more strategic, less rash. It was way more difficult to make him mad, he usually just responded with a witty comeback. And he seemed to put more effort into his work. He had always been smart, but now he was outstanding. He passed all his classes with ease, except for history that is (he kept forgetting that they had never had a king named Frank). He had also gotten very much better at chess, there was no one in the whole school they could beat him, not even the English teacher Mr. Evenly that had gotten very far in the English championship in chess. (Let’s pretend that exists even if it doesn’t)

Susan stood straighter and had a more regal look to her demeanour, not in a way that she expected everyone to obey her or anything like that. It was just very difficult not to respect her. She had gotten very good at resolving conflicts and avoid violence.

Peter had also changed a lot, he was more mature but also more rash in his decisions. He started acting more with his fists (that didn’t really start until it had been about half a year). He did write amazing novels though, stories about battles. Battles with medieval methods and weapons. The details were incredible, it was almost as he’d been in the battles himself.

They all had gotten a whole lot better at swimming. Edmund managed to save a man double his size and weight when he went through the ice. Lucy was always very fast and her technique was like nothing teachers had seen before, it was like she had been taught by a fish. (Possibly mermaid or nymph of some kind.)(Same goes for the others, I just can’t really come up with something)

All of them had nightmares but they had also become very good at controlling and hiding certain emotions behind a curtain or wall.

Edmund often got panic attacks during the cold months, especially when it snowed. Susan started making him something warm to drink every time she noticed it was getting colder or she saw snow falling before school, Peter wrapped up and cuddled Edmund in blankets and Lucy just came into his room with her warm smile and sat and talked with him. With time he wasn’t as sensitive to cold and snow and the panic attacks died down but the small rituals of the siblings having this cosy bonding time with one another continued for a lot longer.

And through all of this Helen was an amazing mother, she might not know what the change in her children was caused by but she always helped. Through panic attacks and frantic studying, she held them after nightmares and she just kept being their mother. She was their mum and raised that just as good as Narnia had.

Hope it was to your enjoyment <3

hc: when the pevensie siblings come back to england after the Lion, the witch and the wardrobe, they all have a fancy cursive handwriting and all their teachers are very impressed.

To the point where they call Mrs. Pevensie and tell her that Peters handwriting is now readable and he gets better grades.

And Susans handwriting was already flawless before, but now it just got a little more fancy.

I belive Edmunds handwriting got a lot more cursive. i think he wrote really small and barely readabe letters before but now it's still small but more cursive and elegant.

Im kinda torn between thinking lucys handwriting is absolute chaos now (like it was fine before, but now she even uses different narinan languages and even some ancient runes or something and no teacher understands anything) OR it was a mess before (like with every child her age lol) and now her handwriting looks like written by and adult (to the point where the teachers accuse her mother of doing her homework and that lucy is somehow cheating. / I think while growing up in narnia she had teachers who showed her how to write perfectly and bc she was so young they had the most influence on her writing style. And obviously since she grew up there her handwriting developed with her. so when she came back her handwriting looks all grown up and the teachers dont understand how, bc they had a hard time getting her handwriting to be even readable (honestly they had the fear, that her handwriting would develop to look like her brothers). And now they all have fancy handwriting) (also is it noticeable that Lucy is my favourite? xD)

At some point they just decided the children were bored when they were in the country and decided to learn how to write fancy (Susan probably saw how bad her siblings handwriting was and decided that just wouldn't do)

Also the Pevensies all use fancy weird narnian words that the teachers dont understand but pretend to bc they dont want to look like children have a better vocabulary than they do

I’m about to be an annoying queer narnia fan so don’t mind me

Ok but I will say that c.s. Lewis wasn’t as conservative as some Christian’s like to believe

, fun fact he had sex outside of marriage and was into bdsm to a small degree but don’t quote me on that I’ve only seen it touched on once by a lewis scholar

He had gay friends and while his views he talked about were in line with traditional sexual ethic I’d say he was fairly open for his time. At the very least from what I remember he was less clutch your pearls when it came to sex as a topic.

He didn’t like casual sex very much as like, a concept but also that doesn’t mean in this fictional world he made it would never be possible, one of the books a main plot line is an asshole Prince wanting to kidnap Susan to force him to be his wife and if that’s allowed I’m sure people were out there getting it on. Sex is a thing people do, authors can have things happen in their worlds they don’t condone (even though he didn’t in this case and that’s good cause it would make narnia not for children, I’m talking headcanons, theories or even just stuff that can and has been built upon in fan content)

even if aslans laws involved waiting till marriage (not in my headcanon but let’s just say it is cause of the author) not every citizen of that world would have had the same beliefs

Also everyone brings up Father Christmas showing up but I think we need to talk more about bacchus/Dionysus and his followers showing up in the Prince caspian and doing a g rated romp (because there were children present) like it’s very funny to imagine that C.S. Lewis wrote this world with Satyrs fauns, dryads and water spirits and was like “and every citizen of narnia was straight and waited until marriage”

also regardless the world of Narnia itself (specifically the country Narnia within that world, like narnia amongst archenland, calormen, the eastern islands) is quite open and wild and despite authors intentions can read as queer in general. It’s wilder and has a big diversity in its citizens (also the one country where arguably men and other creatures are truly equal)

Also this is tangential but I saw some comments along the lines of “weren’t they the only humans???” the first generation of narnian monarchs wouldn’t have been fully human probably, after the first two their children I think married dryads and stuff. But then also by the time the pevensies showed up and especially once they were well into their reign the surrounding countries of Narnia had plenty of humans, Narnia is actually the outlier of being a country not primarily populated by humans.

Listen, the week has been terrible and I'm hanging on by a thread this thin🤏 so please please please send me your Narnia headcanons, especially if you have any about platonic relationships I'll be so grateful and give you a virtual hug

Also if I like a headcanon a lot, I might write a fic based on it (I'll give credits ofc)

Peter, fifteen and fresh out of a bloody and brutal war, sneaking out of Cair Paravel in the middle of the night and going to the river, sticking his head into ice-cold water to shock himself out of a nightmare riddled sleep. Narnia won, but at what cost?

Peter, lying in Susan's bed with his fingers curled tightly into the fabric of her skirts, dried tear tracks on his face and Susan singing quietly in an effort to comfort him. Her fingers pick apart the strands of his hair and he falls asleep only to wake up an hour later with screams on his lips.

Peter, wrapping his arms around an Edmund who has returned from war and murmuring frantic thanks to the Gods for keeping him alive. He presses kisses on Edmund's forehead, cheeks, nose and eyelids, and considers the idea of never letting any of his siblings out of his sight ever again.

Peter, sitting on the High King's throne at the age of thirteen and wondering if he is worthy of this, if he deserves this, if he is capable of this. He is thirteen and barely knows anything about anything and he is High King who should know everything about everything is he worthy is he deserving is he capable he does not know—

Peter, in Lucy's room sitting on the floor with his back pressed to her bed, allowing her to braid flowers into his hair as he stares at the wall. The Victory Parade is in a few hours, but they lost many soldiers and people and Peter has lost sleep and sanity and good friends. Narnia has won but Peter has lost.

Peter, carrying a candle to the Castle Library at two in the morning and pulling out a book about children's fables. He cannot sleep, might as well distract himself. The candle dies down and the sun comes up, and Peter drags himself back to his quarters to get ready.

Peter, who locks himself in his chambers and does not come out for days and days, who refuses food and drink and buries himself under his blankets and stares out the window with blank eyes and slack eyebrows, who does not speak and does not cry and pushes his face into his pillow and screams for the nightmares to go away please I'll do better I just want to sleep please stop please—

Peter, who wants peace and contentment, but cannot help but go to war. Peter, who is quiet and introspective but needs to be loud and abrasive because he is High King. Peter, who wishes he could put down the sword that he wields as easily as he breathes.

Peter, who desires peace, but becomes a God of War

Susan did her granddaughters' makeup during COVID-19. Let no one say that she is not a Glamma

[minamorris1857]

Can we talk about how chaotic Narnian battles would feel?? Especially in Prince Caspian. Like, imagine you’re a little Telmarine soldier waiting for the catapults to go and you’ve got all your regiments in nice orderly rows and these two 16 year olds suddenly yell “charge” and the ground opens up beneath you, a mouse with a sword the size of a large pencil takes out your bestie, a griffin drops a dwarf 5 ft away from you and he comes up swinging. As you try to rationalize this, you’re stabbed by a twelve year old with a British accent. Finally, a really freaking big lion shows up, roars, and your entire army collectively pees their pants. At one point in the movie (yes I know the movies aren’t quite the same as the book but they’re still good) Peter says like “we have the element of surprise” like dude, you have drafted the trees I’m pretty sure everyone’s gonna be surprised no matter what.

[rainintheevening]

It's Edmund who figures it out first, you know, who Aslan is. Like, a week after they're back in England, they go with the Professor to the little village church, and they stand and sing Amazing Grace, and the rector preaches something about Jesus dying for sinners, and Edmund is nailed to the pew with utter certainty: That's Aslan.

He doesn't say it directly to anybody, he has to chew it over, has to test it and try it, and see if it holds true. He and the Professor have many lively discussions about what Narnia actually is, what it's for, what other worlds would mean for science or philosophy or theology. But every time he goes back to the Bible and reads it, he finds echoes of Narnia, echoes of the Lion's voice, and the truth settles into him, becomes something solid and certain deep down inside.

Peter... sees the possibility almost as quickly. He's not so sure of it though, is a bit shy of something so incredible, doesn't want to get it wrong. He wants it to be true. He thinks about it a lot. But he doesn’t say any of it aloud, until he says to Aslan, at the end of his last trip to Narnia. It gets decided then, in there somewhere. He doesn't understand how or why, but he will believe anyway.

Lucy, now, Lucy always knew in a way that was beyond words, unconsciously, deep inside somewhere she never stopped to examine. She stands in Eustace's room, with Aslan’s words ringing in her ears, and it's like a light bulb has come on, or a bucket of cold water has been dumped over her head. Oh. Oh, that's what he meant, oh, now I understand.

And Susan, dear Susan, she suspects, she wonders, but no. Impossible. Too strange, too illogical. Waves it away like a nagging fly. But she figures it out years later, not too late, no sir, not too late at all. Maybe it's a book, maybe it's a song, maybe it's retelling the Easter story to a little girl curled up in her lap. Maybe it's an old poem pulled from the wreckage of a train. She pauses, startled, before the tears come tumbling down, and she murmurs the name she hasn't spoken in what feels like a lifetime, murmus it like a prayer: Aslan.

Jesus.
