In which children are sent to the country, discover a magical place, and call forth the springtime.
OH MY GOD. *STABS VISA APPLICATION PROCESS*
In happier news,
Awesome Susan Moments
- Susan's princess wave from the train! Ahahaha.
- "Wars don't last forever." This one just makes me want to fic and fic about Susan angst.
- "You know that doesn't really rhyme." OH SUSAN. <333
- Susan helping Mrs. Beaver pack food while the wolves are about to kill them.
- The SusanLucy interaction are myriad and awesome! When they start splashing at each other, that's when she starts feeling this whole Narnia thing.
- "Run along now, I have to go be crucified for the sins of man." And Susan is all, "Whatev," and is like *hides behind bush to watch*.
Awesome Edmund Moments
- GRABBING HIS FATHER'S PHOTO.
- "Perhaps we've been incorrectly labeled." <333
- Of course it's Edmund that goes around and checks the back of the wardrobe.
- Edmund drawing on the statues.
OMG TUMNUS
- Tumnus has the ill bachelor pad.
- Tumnus's books! "Is Man a Myth!" <33333 I WANNA READ THAT. Something titled "Humans", something about nymphs, something about gamekeepers, and "The Life and Letters of" I can't read it, but it begins with an S? Or an M? Or an A?
Other Stuff
- THE BEAVERS. <3
- Maugrim is American. LOLZ.
- Tilda Swinton is one sexy mama.
- Did anybody else see the toys in Kris Kringle's bag? "Let's see... teddy bear... check... velveteen rabbit... check... stuffed dog... check... sword of legend... check... bow and arrow, with complementary ivory horn... check... dagger and magic elixir/plot device... check and check! Let's roll!"
- What is it with red and gold and lions? What is it?
- Another fic I want to read: the other traitors who have died on the Stone Table. Especially if someone who was willing can die in their place, and be resurrected. How do we stop traitors from taking advantage of this? Am I missing something? Fic of traitors taking advantage of this Law of the Stone Table would also be awesome.
- POLAR BEARS. HOW APPROPRIATE. *Golden Compass flashbacks*
- Sleeping overnight with a lion corpse. Creepy? Oh right, I forgot it's okay if the lion's supposed to be Our Lord And Savior.
Oh, Peter's delightful need to Have Everything Sorted and be grown-up and know what's best for everyone! Oh, his pompous honor being all "none of you can possibly take care of yourself!" Peter/his duties! Its evil twin is Peter/himself, and both are precursors of Peter/Narnia.
Mostly LWW has awakened me to the fact that we need more fic about TUMNUS. Particularly Tumnus struggling with his conscience, doing questionable things as part of the spy brigade, and let's even throw in the "I'll never be as honorable as my father!" trope, just for kicks! I want to read about Tumnus passing Lucy's handkerchief on to Badger, and then the secret police catch him and he goes into a world of shit. Basically I want the fic that explains why he answers Edmund's "Are you Tumnus?" with "What's left of him." YES PLEASE.
I enjoyed rewatching LWW knowing I'm going to fic it. By this point I've become a bit comfy in my own fanon, so watching the movie became a bit of a squeeparty, seeing how canon and my fanon merge and diverge. English class be damned, it's fanfiction that really trained me to analyze a text (even if a lot of the analysis tends to devolve into trawling for angst-fodder). I became more sensitive to what I like and don't like, and to moments of OMGSQUEEness and WTFery, for their sheer plot-bunny potential. Books and movies stopped being static, and became but a starting line. <3 fandom!
I spent FAR TOO LONG on TV Tropesagain and discovered that my two favorite things about its Narnia page is the 'Shmuck Bait' of The Magician's Nephew and the fact that, when it talked about Susan losing her faith, she is linked to a trope called 'Agent Scully'. This makes my mind explode in all sorts of ways. AWESOME.
Hey, you guys remember that Disney cartoon from the '70s called "The Rescuers" with the mice? Remember the 'General Assembly' of mice in the United Nations building, and there was one delegate mouse from Arabia and ONE from AFRICA? Ya. LOLZ.
OKAY. The Secret Garden fic where, years later, Colin, Mary, and Dickon have sexytimes in the hundred rooms of Misselthwaite Manor, and the servants suspect what's going on but don't dare say anything because Colin and Mary would shove a boot up their asses. Colin is still possessive of Mary, and she still resents this possessiveness, but she loves her cousin. And Dickon, of course, loves everyone and everything, especially his moor and his animals. Shall you write it or shall I? Keep in mind I am simultaneously twiddling with 3.5 Narnia fics right now. SO I GUESS THAT MEANS YOU.
ETA: Cutesicle all over the place! Especially the swear bucket. Interspersed with dashes of "hmm, interesting!"
