Susan Slept Here (1954)

[riddlemefuckingthis]

Just finished Ninth Rain yesterday afternoon and I need to say something.

This book is sooooo good, but I also got a very subtle vibes of Witchlands by @stdennard . Now, I don’t know if @sennydreadful has read those books but I have to make some parallels for y’all.

Witch from a nomadic people group and is exiled from her people because of an incident: Iseult and Noon.

Guy with big ego and hates that he’s crushing on said witch: Tor and Aeduan.

Mountain bats: Blueberry and Fulcor

Evil people who are returning from the past: Jure’lia and the Paladin

Starving, dying country that needs help: Ebora and Nubrevna

Witch who hears someone inside her head: Noon and Iseult

Noble woman that is trying to help but making everything worse: Safi and Hestillion

All I’m saying is that if you want to read a fantasy series that is like Witchlands or that is like Winnowing Flame, then this one just might be for you!

Request Rules

You may send in any request for the Pevensies, with any and/or all siblings, or with Mr. Tumnus/the Beavers/other Golden Age characters! The request can be fluff, hurt/comfort, angst... it just has to be Golden Age era, SFW, and platonic :) (the mere tag suggestions for Narnia relationships on Ao3 are horrifying 😭 so please keep it platonic) Your request can also take place at any time during the Pevensie's reign!! So it could be soon after their coronation, sometime in the middle, towards the end- whenever! Excited to see what y'all will send! :D

oracle dreams

I breathe storms

the water and wind and warth

calms me

it begins raining

as I consume the elements

drink wine that falls into

the fire of my bloodstream

warms my body and my mind

does your blood still warm

when I cross into your

unwilling mind?

Say the word and I'll leave.

I only stay where I am wanted.

when I bring myself to the well

of my experiences

I know the memories of you glow

I ask for a dream

where we find ourselves

across another ballroom

our eyes meet

mutual defenses crumble in shock

we cannot experience this

without feeling every chemical reaction

that is happening in our biological systems

we would observe every detail in the moment

I would smoothly find a way to hide and collect myself

you wouldn't find me

I would breathe and feel

look into the mirror to observe every visual reaction

with my own eyes and expression

I could calm and collect myself

place a hand over my heart

the belly that is likely knotted

breathe until it relaxes

my gown would sparkle

my hair would be wild and perfect

you're too patient and kind to wait by the door

though I'm guessing your impatience tempted you

I am going to navigate things with my senses

I would know your vibration anywhere within proximity

I am attuned to my senses and emotions

I am making sure to ignore my thoughts

my intellect is compromised by the body

I cannot trust it

but the moment my thoughts take hold

you'll be my shadow

you'll say something

I've never been able to predict

I can never predict you

I wished I hated it more

I will feel a fever that washes over me in heat

I hope I'm not blushing

luckily my wits will keep me

charmingly engaged to reply perfectly

and then the dream ends

I awake in the sweat resulting from

the fever dream you are to my collective

the siren of danger my composure holds

in the memory of you

I look to the window

a honey locust holds the sky

in her thorned embrace

I can't imagine what it would feel like

to meet your eyes again

and I can hold storms of resentment

for years until intentional release

so much distraction

everything is a distraction

life is a distraction

and love is a force

ever to be reckoned with

THE JEWEL IN THE CROWN (1984): Frequently interesting, never really satisfying 14-part Granada TV series, adapted by Ken Taylor from four novels by Paul Scott, about the final years of British rule of India (from about 1942 to 1947), set in a fictional province called Mayapore.

The first episode, which is two hours, adapts the title novel, about a young white Englishwoman named Daphne Manners (Susan Wooldridge) whose relationship with an Indian man called Hari Kumar (Art Malik), recently returned to India after attending an English public school, has disastrous consequences for them both, with Hari persecuted and eventually imprisoned at the behest of particularly racist and sadistic local police superintendent Ronald Merrick (Tim Pigott-Smith), a lower-middle-class functionary whose hatred and envy make him determined to put Hari in his place. This is by far the most cohesive portion of the story (although it's not very pleasant and needs CWs for rape and police brutality), and the only one whose main characters are particularly sympathetic, but it ends with Daphne dead, Hari in prison, their daughter Pavarti in the custody of Daphne's great aunt, and Merrick ascendant.

The remaining episodes shift focus to the upper-class Layton family, whose elder daughter Sarah (Geraldine James) joins the WACs after her father (Frederick Treves) a British Army colonel, becomes a German POW. The central figure, though only occasionally the POV, remains the monstrous Merrick, who parlays his avocation for torture into a high-ranking military intelligence role and eventually tries to ingratiate himself with the Laytons, particularly after he loses an arm and is badly burned in a failed attempt to rescue Sarah's brother-in-law following a roadside attack. In the last few episodes, the POV shifts to Guy Perron (Charles Dance, in a rare non-villainous role), another public schoolboy and a former classmate of Hari Kumar's, who becomes Merrick's reluctant aide and has a fleeting romance with Sarah before returning to witness independence as an academic observer.

There is much of interest throughout, but in discarding the novels' epistolary format and placing events in chronological order, the dramatization leaves the story feeling lumpy and occasionally threadbare: Important characters simply disappear and are later casually mentioned to have died, and important plot threads only occasionally have dramatic resolution within the narrative. More vexingly, after the first episode, the story's interest in presenting Indian characters as anything other than minor background figures (often depicted in a demeaning light) basically evaporates; even Hari Kumar is mentioned more than he's seen, serving more as a symbolic figure rather than a character, and the official subtitles never bother to translate dialogue in Urdu, even when spoken by the white leads. The story's ideological foundation is similarly uneasy, particularly as to class — Merrick is a thoroughly vile figure, but while Sarah and Guy both detest him, their contempt for him is based not in his racist brutality, but in his not being of their class and resenting it, and the finale then attributes his sadism to being a closeted gay man. The story's final episodes also strongly suggest that British rule has provided an important civilizing and stabilizing influence that will promptly collapse with independence.

Although the actual plot can't be accused of being especially nostalgic, it's hard not to see THE JEWEL IN THE CROWN as a colonialist apologia, and it's one of those stories that insists on framing other countries and cultures as something that happens to the white protagonists rather than having any independent existence, politically or otherwise. CONTAINS LESBIANS? There is an extremely depressing subplot about an elderly gay missionary named Barbara Batchelor (Peggy Ashcroft), the companion of Sarah's aunt Mabel, whom the family hastens to shut out after Mabel's death. VERDICT: Superbly acted but dramatically uneven and frequently unpleasant, and its politics leave a bad taste.
