Eustace: *Screams*

Jill: *Screams louder to establish dominance*

Peter: Should we… stop them?

Edmund: No, I want to see who wins.

thinking about: burning narnian skies. brightest narnian stars. burning narnian skies. brightest narnian stars. the narnian moon that is bigger than ours. the royal children-turned-kings-turned-children looking up to the crescent that is looming above in the gray English sky and feeling a sort of. unfathomable grief

I'm sorry but you absolutely cannot strip Jane Austen's work of Regency politics and social etiquette without the entire narrative collapsing into nonsense.

Modern writers need to stop treating Austen’s world like a generic, pretty fairy tale, and start remembering that her books were actually razor-sharp critiques of a brutal socioeconomic landscape with examinations of class, gender, power and money that are still culturally relevant today.

I love The Last Battle because almost every other Narnia book is from the Pevensies/Eustace/Jill’s perspective but since this one is mostly focusing on Tirian, we get insight as to how truly strange it is to be just a guy from Narnia and all of a sudden, these Children show up and are all like “yeah, we helped your great-great-great-great grandpa get un-kidnapped and we also helped his dad sail to the edge of the world and also my cousins are the most famous kings and queens in your history and oh by the way we also know the people who were there for the literal creation of your world.” But they’re still Literal Children and well. Children

The thing is Robert Jordan looked at the high fantasy genre and saw it was full of healers who are soft spoken, demure, and passive, then said "None of you have ever met a med student"

And wrote Nynaeve al'Meara.

adara and elliot are sooooo two sides of the same coin. mean vulnerable desperate-to-be-loved bisexual disasters. hottest people at camp. follow after people who don’t love them back and say “well that’s part of the appeal. also it’ll happen eventually. also, shut the fuck up.” crossing the otherlands border back and forth with a fearlessness that people look at and a desperation that people don’t. stick rigidly to what they *think* the social rules are even if they make no goddam sense. lying liars who lie to others but mostly themselves.

god ily idiot twins adara and elliot you should maybe be besties but it’s good you aren’t bc you’d kill each other in bouts of self-loathing

[rage-cupcakes]

all of my friends are tired of hearing about it but the sheer galaxy brain of @sarahreesbrennan giving us a protagonist who:

is fundamentally, incontrovertibly convinced he's, at his core, unlovable

goes out of his way to be abrasive and off-putting to people so he can feel like they left because he made them and not because nobody would ever choose to be around him, and thinks of his own personality as terrible

gets laid constantly by people with high social standing and has every member we see of two separate species vying for his affections

believes there is no situation so bad he can't fix it through talking

Just a truly magnificent set of contradictory character attributes that the character is fully blind to the contradiction of.

the thing about Elliot Schafer In Other Lands is that he knows he's an asshole and that he can hurt people. he knows. and he gets better at holding that inside of him instead of pushing it out on everyone but it never goes away. but he is loved anyway. he is so loved despite everything and as long as he keeps being who he is he is loved do you get it
