Wow, have not posted in a while. Life has been … life. Anyways I’m back and thought I might share with you a process on an idea I’ve been working on.

Basically, it’s Jim’s character development as the stages of the suns life cycle, seeing how much sun symbolism Jimbo has.

The wimple - the head veil with the chin covering - was traditional in the Middle Ages for married women. Just like women in Islam today, in certain periods married Christian women were required for religious and modesty reasons to cover their hair.

The cloth that covers the chin was called a barbette, and had the extra benefit of hiding a sagging neck!

I call it a barbette because it appears to be a strip of cloth unconnected to the cloth on the shoulders and chest. If it were all one piece of cloth, it would be a wimple.

There was also a version with the cloth under the chin but NOT over the head, and that was called a gorget:

As you can see, the amount of hair that needed to be covered changed across the middle ages, though in general, married women were pretty much always required to wear their hair up and neat. Loose hair was considered to indicate either a “maiden” (unmarried woman) or a “loose woman”.

I’ve been rereading the Narnia books, and boy are they something. Don’t get me wrong: I love them with all my heart. But sometimes CS Lewis just cracks me up. There are many things he just doesn’t answer at all: why they don’t tell Edmund of Aslan’s sacrifice, what happened to the fox and the squirrels that were turned to stone, what Aslan told Edmund after he’d been rescued. Not to mention, he just brushes over the final battle between Peter and Edmund and the witch. Aslan swoops in, quickly kills the witch, and then Peter reports Edmund’s strategic move to destroy the wand. Why would he approach it that way? Very odd storytelling. That’s why I love the movies so much—they really dive deep into trying to portray and somewhat solve some of these issues. I fear they did a better job.

Something about the fact that after the Pevensie’s are pulled out of Narnia three of them don’t live long enough to reach those ages again. That Peter is supposed to be around twenty eight by the end of their reign and after returning to England he only lives until he is twenty two. That despite living multiple lives he never makes it to thirty. That Edmund dies at nineteen and Lucy at seventeen.

That Susan is left behind knowing what her siblings would have looked like for several years after their deaths and then not knowing any longer. That she grows up and has to face life without the people she always expected to be by her side. That even in Aslan’s kingdom the Pevensie’s cannot find true peace because someone is always missing.

That Peter never has the chance to graduate university or become a doctor, that Lucy doesn’t even live to adulthood, that Edmund never gets old enough for people to take him seriously. That Susan lives to be older than Peter ever got to be and then older than all her siblings put together before sixty.

That she has to grow up for all of them and they never get to.

I like the idea that where the other Pevensie siblings prefer to stick to the weapons they gained from Santa (Peter with Rhindon, Susan with her bow & arrows, Lucy with her dagger), Edmund learns & uses literally everything. We see him using a single sword against Trumpkin, we see him using a crossbow, dual swords---even using a torch as a weapon. It makes him a fierce fighter, and really shows his strategic side: he doesn't get hung up on one use and instead uses anything he can to his advantage. Cool characterization on the movies' part, even if it could be unintentional.

It will always piss me off that they nerfed the Mind Flayer by diminishing its truly awesome size.

None of the other characters were ever able to truly appreciate this moment

"is that your final lesson to these kids?"

is what's gonna make him stay. btw. you can see it on his face. that was the thing to say. Robby doesn't care about himself. although he's been very shit at showing it this shift, he does care about others. these are his people. this is his department. this hospital contains the "best things he's ever done."

he wants to leave it better than he found it, he wants his students to do better than him. but the implication of this being his "final lesson" is gutting. and that did get to him. oh, it pierced straight through. he's grappling with how tortuous it is to live in his mind and how badly he does not want to fail his students yet again, how deeply he cares about them. fuuuuckkkkk

#the Pitt #yeah right when he said that and I saw Robby’s face #I knew it got through to him
