I like to imagine this an actual candid moment between Frodo and Merry. đ
narnia has actually way too many completely devastating concepts in it that are not explored At All
We talk a lot about how in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the Pevensie children live full adult lives as kings and queens of narnia before stumbling out of the wardrobe by accident and being children again after like 15+ years. But Iâve never seen the same level of analysis devoted to how in Prince Caspian they return to Narnia and discover that over 1,000 years have passed in Narnia since their last visit.
Imagine undergoing the grief of losing an entire life you lived in another world, being forced back into the body of a child and to grow up all over again without the ability to even talk about what happened in the decades you lost. Every person you knew and loved, vanished, leaving no indication they were ever real and no guide for how to move on.
But returning to that world where you were a King or Queen and discovering that centuries have passed without you and that the people you lost are not only dead, but mostly arenât even remembered? Thatâs almost worse.
That series is really something for âworldbuilding threads picked up and never touched againâ too like
in the silver chair itâs confirmed that deep underneath the earth in narnia thereâs a molten, fiery abyss world called Bism that is apparently populated and also apparently gemstones are living creatures that live there, and what we understand as diamonds, emeralds, rubies etc. are just the discarded husks of once living creatures
Jadis is actually not originally from Narnia, but accidentally gets sent there at its creation (making her one of the oldest beings in narnia) and she annihilated all life in her world of origin. she also very much does go to literal actual London and terrorize people. she is like 7 feet tall and can tear iron with her bare hands like itâs taffy.
Jadis makes it âAlways winter and never ChristmasââŚwhat the FUCK is her beef with Father Christmas. I know itâs supposed to be like a metaphor or some shit but Iâm imagining what exactly the fuck must have happened between them for jadis to specifically want to prevent him from coming to narnia to the extent that her powerful seasonal-change-stopping magic also includes a âfuck that guy in particularâ clause.
like think about it, Jesus is not a thing in narnia, heâs just aslan. and aslan did not get born. ergo, the origin of such a concept as Christmas is the entity Father Christmas. Christmas is not a religious holiday to Narnians it has no symbolic meaning it is just specifically the time of year when Father Christmas fucks around across the landscape giving children gifts, such as very deadly real weapons. Thereâs no reason for him to do this. Itâs just what he does. And Jadis fucking hates it.
another thing from the magicians nephew that is never brought up again is that Polly and Digory donât go directly to Narnia, they end up in this intermediate place between the worlds thatâs like a forest full of pools leading to other worlds, potentially infinite other worlds, and they end up in Narnia pretty much at random.
I think itâs also confirmed that Archenlanders were originally from Earth, and are the descendants of a small group of people who traveled to Narnia by accident and got stuck. One wonders why Aslan didnât whisk them back out. Or why being too old wasnât a problem for them.
I think this is early installment weirdness but there are Roman gods in narnia. ?????
stars are sentient???
narnia is flat. this is not actually an unresolved thread but I donât think itâs common knowledge even though in one of the books they literally sail to the edge of the world. caspian specifically thinks itâs super cool that the earth is round
I LOVE the whole concept of Bism. Like Lewis really just said oh yeah thereâs a whole world under Narnia where people live and jewels are alive too actually you wear dead ones in your jewellery and then no one ever spoke about it again, not even the fandom
No wonder this series infuriated Tolkien so much. Lewis just threw paint at a wall and jokingly asked the man whoâd spent a decade on a single painting if he liked it.
Holy shit there is a lot about Narnia I donât know.
Writerâs block? Why not try peppering panpsychism into your atheist-turned-christian young adult literature and never addressing it again?
So many fics, so little time.
Fun fact about the woods between worlds thing and what the inspiration behind it was:
This is an illustration of it from the book.
And THIS is a forest full of shell craters from WW1. Which C.S Lewis fought in as a teenager.
Iâm sorry @stargirl-and-potts I couldnât leave your tags there đĽš
Slight corrective to the Christmas thing: Jadis was not the only otherworldly immigrant at the beginning of Narnia. King Frank and Queen Helen came from 1900s London and might have brought all sorts of English customs through.
Then again, that was very much a retcon and Father Christmas probably made it in on the basis of âyes, this is another interesting thing for a childrenâs story, and if Roman fauns and Germanic dwarves and Arabic ifrits are all there then why notâ. (I wonder if the omission of elves is a respectful avoidance of the heart of Tolkienâs legendarium?)
Adding to the previously shared tags about Joy because YES exactly. Outside of the Chronicles, Lewis has multiple books which address the centrality of Joy, including both of his autobiographical works - one of which is an extended metaphor based on Pilgrimâs Progress explaining Lewisâ whole worldview and philosophical evolution, in which joy is both the driving feature of his whole life and explained by him as literally a gift from God for the explicit purpose of driving our motivation and discovery of both the world and God.
He did also marry a woman whose name was Joy (so she could extend her visa and apply for UK citizenship!) But thatâs just a happy accident.
