“Peter’s not king yet!” Is possibly the best line in cinematic history.

[brunhielda]

There is something here. Something about “the Holiday Lands” and “a mirror to the real world.”

“We know they effect us, but do you honestly think we can do anything to change THEM?”

“I don’t know. But I, for one, refuse to let a bunch of fickle mortals decide my fate. WE decide how we live or die! And if that means they get more holidays to fritter away on meager offerings of food and drink, then woopee for them, it’s not my problem or concern. THIS IS OUR HOME, and we DO NOT let it fall!”

Thanksgiving has fallen, crushed beneath a frosted boot. Now, All Hallow’s Eve prepares for the quickly approaching Holly Jolly Hordes. They. Must. Hold. Or all Holidays will be lost to the Bastardization of Saint Nick’s Name.

Narnia, and the Problem with Moralistic Literature

This blog contains spoilers for the Chronicles of Narnia. Stories centered on moral lessons have long been a part of the literary world, especially in children’s books. On the surface, there’s nothing inherently wrong with this – storytelling is often the best way to learn, regardless of age. However, there’s a web of complex issues underlying moralistic literature that can detract from the…

Childhood favourite. Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis. (audio)

I remembered almost immediately what always bothered me as a kid about this book. There is not enough Prince Caspian in Prince Caspian. I loved prince stories as a girl. Aladdin was very much a prime blorbo. But there wasn't all that many prince stories. Lots of princesses, who were fine, nice enough, but I wanted... well let me show you the cover of the edition I had

It's so fucking dynamic! Dashing hero, literally. Adventure is being had. You know what you're getting from this book based on that cover! But actually a lot of it is Penvensie focused, and yeah, idk. I don't think it's an unpopular or unusual opinion to say that those kids are kinda dull. Edmund aside, that one time, they're just not all that interesting. Likely Caspian also wouldn't have been interesting to spend much more time with, I never noticed as a kid but honestly he's also come out of the blandly nice mould, and in retrospect I think there's a reason I always forget he's in the next one too. There is a lot packed into this book though. I had to double check I hadn't got an abridged version at first, because I remember it containing a lot of stuff. But no, it's 190 pages, 4:40 in audio. A minor marvel of editing and pacing. Probably something else he did to spite Tolkien.

It doesn't sound like I had fun from this, but I did, and I know why generations of kids loved these books, despite the awkward religious overtones, sugary notes, and general Has Not Aged Well, there is a realness about them. A respect for the audience that only the very best children's authors have. Lewis doesn't shy away from death, and he gives a tonne of agency to his young characters. At one point the kids straight up kill and eat a bear. And it's not written overwrought, it's not written underwrought. It's wrought. If you're in the woods you may be attacked by animals, and if you're hungry, then you eat it. Sad but necessary. You're what, like, 6? You should know this already. Anyway, look at the lion, he's magic. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No star rating out respect for the one million stars I gave Narnia as a whole when I first read it.

Kofi request of a Narnia AU where the Penvensies are big cats! they're hunting together

[daisyslife]

YES! I totally agree with you and personally believe that they went through all stages of grief (mostly Peter, considering that he was the high king and how he behaved on the second movie).

I hate how in the movies they simply smile at the professor, as if fifteen years were nothing and they didn't just leave behind most of their lives, their friends and a country that would probably go into misery without it's kings and queens.

Imagine…

Lucy falls out of the wardrobe and just sobs. She can feel it, that it won’t open back up. Everyone they loved is on the other side of a wall, but there’s no way around it. She hugs her knees to her chest and wishes she was anywhere else. She is grieving.

Susan steps into the Spare Room and immediately feels sick. Her body doesn’t fit right anymore. Her legs are too short and her head is so light because her hair is gone. She gives dry sobs and scratches at her skin. It’s like putting on a shoe that’s too tight or a dress that’s too short; she feels both tied down and exposed but she has no idea how to fix it. She is in pain.

Peter takes one step out before he runs back in. He rams the back of the wardrobe with his shoulder over and over and over again, until hot frustrated tears stream down his cheeks because he cannot be a boy again, he can’t. There’s no strength in his body anymore, but when the wood starts to creak he gives up. He slides down the wall in defeat and reaches to tug on a beard that isn’t there, to rub a scar that’s melted into his skin. He is defeated.

Edmund stumbles onto the floor and just heaves a great sigh. He did not want this, nor did he expect it, but he should have. He does not weep, he does not tear at his skin, he does not force his way back home. He simply stands up, and thanks Aslan for the second chance at life, even if he does not want it. Edmund is not happy to be back in England; his heart is, in fact, cleaved in two. But he knows the power of plans that are not his own. He is hopeful.

💚 ILLUMI HEADCANONS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY 💚

idk but i just love imagining random facts about illumi, that don't really add to his character, but kindof do too? Maybe it's because there isn't much screen time of illumi in the anime that my brain needs to fill all that empty space of longing in my heart of what could have been.

SO HERE ARE RANDOM ILLUMI (HEADCANON) FACTS THAT SERVE NOTHING:

He drinks beer and uses his teeth to open the bottles. He used to have a collection of bottlecaps, but then he gave them to Killua. So whenever Illumi opened a bottle, the cap would hence force go to Killua. Now the jar of bottlecaps is somewhere in Killua's room collecting dust.

After finishing an assassintion, he likes to get fastfood. Something quick and indulgent, like it's a cheat day. If he was on a job with his brothers then they'd hit a bodega afterwards. Sometimes he would bring food back to Milluki too.

He can hold a burger in one hand and tear through a ketchup packet with his teeth. He dips his food so much, he rarely eats anything without sauce.

Like Silva, Illumi has had a few pets in his life. One of them being a bear. He named it Pikelet. (I'll explore this one more in my fic!)

Although murder is his trade, that shouldn't hinder his other passions, including wild life conservation! This boy grew up in the mountains, albiet privately owned. You can't convince me he isn't a goblin child at heart.

He always thought he deserved to have fangs.

When he sees a walking stick lying on the ground, he has the urge to pick it up and wield it like a sword.

When he was eight he read all the narnia books. Peter was his comfort character, but he wanted to be Prince Caspian. To this day, if you ask him why he likes Narnia, he will give you a disseration and explain why Lucy is the strongest of all the penvensie siblings. He has never had turkish delight, but believes he would betray his siblings for them, they just look so good!

He could grow antlers out of pure will power. No, literally, he can. He can and will show you. "I'm a crytid. Look at my antlers."

He's still a Goosebumps kid at heart. When autumn rolls around, he he lays in bed and watches his favorite spooky shows (scooby doo, goosebumps, are you afraid of the dark?, tales from the crypt)

When he was little, he used to play in the forest by himself ALOT. One time, he crawled into a log, but the log was at the top of a hill and it began to roll down with him in it and then it rolled into a pond. He was able to escape, but he almost drowned and never told anyone what happened. He was a little mortified to tell anyone because he almost died doing something stupid. He'll tell you he has done alot of stupid things in the woods, but won't divulge more than that.

He's actually kind of good at acting and loves watching movies. This is part of why he is so good at diguises, he studies the actors in movies lol Sometimes he repeats lines from movies randomly in the house. Out of nowhere, he shouts 'BILBOOOO BAGGINSSSS' in a gandolf like voice. It's okay, just accept it.

Illumi has rehabilitated many opossums in his life.

He owns an animal rescue ranch, under a different identity of one of his disguises, that rebahilibates injured animals and prepares to release them back to the wild. His current disguise is an old man, but Illumi plans to 'die' and come back as his son/heir. Yes, he has worked out an entire line of succession for a rescue ranch. Did he have to do this? No, but he did anyway.

Once Illumi officiated the wedding between a frog named Freddie Lime to another frog named Emily Spinach. Oh, he was also high, but the wedding was beautiful, and Milluki fished him out of the pond afterwards.

There's a deer in Kukuroo Mountain that is fond of Illumi. If it sees him, it will run up to him. Illumi doesn't know what the forest calls the deer, but he calls it Thimble. He gives Thimble treats, and Thimple lets Illumi pet him, the arrangement has worked out very well so far.

Kukuroo Mountain is self sustainable, and alot of the food they cook they grow themselves. There's also a farm, with cows. Illumi would just be chilling on a hamick and then suddenly killua runs past him, and then so does a cow. Illumi goes back to napping, this isn't his mess to clean up.

"Concept: I will continue to bottle up all my emotions until I snap."

Moss.

Here were some facts! I have more stuff, but those are spoilers for my fanfic (where shadows touch), My obsession might be unhealthy but it's delicious and i love it so I'm not gonna stop.
