New D20 Season: Playtime is over?
So i think what they were trying to convey is ww2, british children evacuated to the countryside and taken away by faeries in the new strange wilderness. OR, they're playing toys. So it's either very Narnia, very JRR Tolkien (in a meta sense based on when he published and his general vibe of tweed and nature, etc, not literally like his works), and code breaking, maybe even a country house? AND OR Toy Story of some variety.
My only clear thought so far is that i think some of the players are playing fairies, just because of the names, or are actually toys, because none of the names seemed like funny british child names of the 1930s but did seem like funny british child toy names of the 30s.
My unclear thought is that Siobhan literally has to be playing in this season or what was this all for? if there is any kind of code breaking, any sort of british 30s children's literature references, like she HAS to be there.
Edit: Actually, I've just watched it again and these are the names. Constance, Tiddlywinks (Possibly Tiddely Winks), Avery, Clyde, Calypso, and Wydon.
Based on the imagery some of those characters are toy soldiers, I think Clyde is most definitely a rocking horse, i think constance is a frightful porcelain doll, and though i'm not sure who, one of them is a marionette.
I've had the other thought that this might be a bunch of toys going to rescue children who have been snatched by fairies, since their parents aren't around to help, and i feel it'll be exploring the reinvention of childhood that occurs in post ww1 england, where following the devastation of the great war, the idea of children having a childhood becomes a much stronger social focus, and then with war and evacuation, independence and or feelings of abandonment become prominent as well.
also the poem used in the voice over is the Stolen Child by William Butler Yeats, about fairies luring children away, so yeah, those toys are going to save their children
