More character designs except this time they’re fantasy dwarves and whenever I draw fantasy dwarves they legally all need to have facial hair regardless of gender cause I think that’s cool.
Also these guys are all secretly Narnian and are also on the crew of the Dawn Treader cause I’m forever building out the crew in my mind, and it’s practicing doing my own designs. Here is some more of the crew.
The slightest amount of lore for them is down here if you care, along with general Narnia headcanons and waffling.
——————————————————————————
The dwarf on the far left is a river dwarf I’ve decided. I don’t know fully that is other than I think it’d be cool if there was a tribe of dwarves that were close to the water nymphs, and generally have great knowledge and skills that are an asset on a sailing crew.
The river dwarves are one of the reasons telmarines were scared of the water (along with the niads, however the bridge of beruna imprisoned the river god, who otherwise was also responsible for many folk tales told to young telmarine children. Their fear of water is ironic to me cause I believe there’s evidence of them coming from the Caribbean as pirates? I imagine the humans on caspians crew are like, either rediscovering their roots or the few who held on to that seafaring background. Mostly younger telmarines in the same generation as caspian, they questioned the leadership and were very happy when old narnia overthrew Miraz.)
the river dwarves are generally peaceful and most lived in hiding during telmars reign. They’re temperament is very stable and they do well under pressure. River dwarves are incredibly stealthy and only attack in necessity as self defense. In terms of stealth think like lotr hobbits, and this is a great contrast to most other dwarves in Narnia (strong strength and combat, low stealth) A lot of them abstained from fighting against telmar alltogether due to their peaceful values. They are disconnected from some other dwarf cultures which can cause some tension.
The two in the middle come from a tribe of dwarves that are blacksmiths, and also they’re siblings. The brother in particular is a toy maker by trade specifically, and loves kids. His wife (far right) has a background in carpentry. Him and his wife don’t have any but virtually adopt any child they see. The sister is always having a good time, and seafaring comes more naturally to her than smithywork ever did.
The carpentry/forest dwarves generally have a history of closeness with dryads similarly to how the river dwarves are with the water spirits. Some of that connection has been severed due to how deeply the dryads retreated and were removed when Caspian the Conqueror (not our caspian) and his descendants over-deforested. It takes time to restore that connection.
The two on the left may or may not have a situationship and the two on the right have been married for years.
Regardless of trade they’re all on the ship because they’re loyal as fuck to Caspian, the married couple kind of see themselves in a parental role to him but it’s debatable on how that actually plays out.
Also no one has a name cause I’m so bad at coming up with names.
————————
My thinking in general is that Narnian dwarves make up a lot of the trades, other races do contribute as well, (I’d imagine some marshwiggles work in stuff related to ships/seafaring but perhaps not travelling themselves) most fauns are more into the arts/spirituality, but some do take up trades (a couple of my designs from this post are tradespeople, one of them is a bard.)
I haven’t done many centaur designs, but my vague thoughts is that there are those who are more spiritual and practice prophecy, stargazing, advising, and those who are more into combat, and are protectors, or messengers.
—————
Gender and the ideas around sexuality I’d also imagine would be a lot more fluid and most Narnians are a lot more open than some of the more human civilizations. (Like it’s a country made of sentient trees, talking animals and mythical beings, and the human countries kind of canonically are like “what the heck is going on over there???” Or they’re afraid of them and try to colonize them, like the telmarines)
These are all half baked ideas but I’ve been fixated on Narnia since I was five and it’s lowkey the reason I spent so much time and passion into drawing and now have a career in graphic design and illustration, so. This is mostly all for me, so don’t mind how long this post has gotten. 🤠
Heyy I was wondering if I could get a ship?? I’m 5’4 with long black hair, very pale skin and blue eyes, I’m a Wicca witch and creating trinkets is my specialty but I’m also a chef. My style is goth but with a witchy touch. Thank youu x
Hi, I ship you with Caspian!
He loves all of your trinkets and witchy stuff, it feels calming for him
Helps you gather stuff you need to make them and loves bringing you unique things, crystals, flowers, pendants from all over the world to see if you like them
Romantically comparing you to the Great Eastern Ocean? Check.
He’s also always glad for your help and loves how you just fill every space you’re in with this unique energy and love
He may not be the best cook but when you cook together he just melts a little. Those domestic, romantic moments, you know.
Whispers. Soft whispers in your ear and then a trail of tingling kisses all over you.
Whatever you do, don't imagine Peter crying with Susan after discovering his main general and confidant was dead when he returned to Narnia. Don't imagine Susan screaming at the wind, crying softly in the corner or sobbing alone after thinking of her closets ladies in waiting dead. Don't imagine Edmund, a very private person, dealing with the pain of his friend, who would be almost as Just as him, dying years ago, feeling Ed had deserted Narnia. And especially, do NOT imagine Lucy sobbing over Mr. Tumnus, her best friend, her adviser, a traitor mended, being gone. Don't imagine her leaving her handkerchief at his grave, which she discovered after her return to Narnia the second time. Don't imagine these. Whatever you do
Is it possible for you to do a ship for me? I’m a female college student who is on the shorter side, with blonde hair and eyes that likes to change color. I love reading, singing, and spending the day outdoors (let it be horse-back riding or hiking). I also have several dogs and cats.
I ship you with Edmund!
He’s also an outdoors lover so be ready to go to walks and hikes with him. He adores nature and fresh air... He would take you horse riding to some really stunning places both in Narnia and in our world.
As Edmund once was a King of Narnia there is a special fondness within him when it comes to animals. He treats them with kindness and basically as equals, and surprisingly they always respond to that with love and respect, magical or not.
Edmund loves sunlight and loves when the light makes your colour eye change. He loves to see your eyes in the morning sun when both of you are still in bed. He loves to make you laugh, and tickle you, and shower you with kisses. Soft. Mornings.
He’s also a big fan of cuddling and will wrap himself around you whenever he can (although he’s not big with PDA).
Some days, when both of you have nothing to do, you just sit together, reading books by each other’s side with breaks for tea/coffee/cocoa, a kiss or two, and comment on the thing you’re reading.
Hi! Can you do a ship for me? I’m an American, born and raised. I’m only 5’2 at the age of 22, I have long red hair, brown eyes, a bit on the chubby side. Covered in freckles. I like to read, be with little children, especially infants. They’re adorable. I like to drown myself in coffee. I love nature (the forest). I’ve been told I’m a total sweetheart, very kind. Until you give me a reason not to be. I’m a hard worker, never be the one to complain.
I ship you with… Peter!
He always knew how good and gentle you were
And secretly thought that you would make a great queen
I’m not saying that he tried to count your freckles once
But he did
Couldn’t
Had to settle on kissing them
Coffee? Yes, please.
He’ll make you some fancy coffees if you’re in a mood
And he’ll be grateful if you drown him in coffee in the morning
Since King Peter The Magnificent is not a morning person
You’re as hard working as him.
You don’t want the other one overworking
And always try to prepare some snacks, drinks etc. for them
If you’re working late and you finish earlier than Peter you have to drag him to bed
Sometimes when you read he just crawls closer to you and rests his head on your belly, or holds your hand against his lips and his cheek
He just wants to be close but doesn’t want to disturb you
He always appreciates how kind you are
Especially if he has to deal with someone irritating after a long day
And you’re so kind and patient
And the only thing that stops him from losing his temper
Peter also loves nature so be prepared for long walks and your room full of plants
You’re the only person who can make him feel safe and calm when he feels out of place or not good enough
His favorite time of the day is when he can just wrap his arms around you
Hello! Can I please get a ship? I'm 5 ft 10 and curvy, but I tend to wear oversized sweaters to hide it. I have purple hair which is my favorite feature. I am the ultimate mom friend. (Which I blame on being the 'most huffliest hufflepuff'), and always there for my friends. I love fictional reading, writing, cats, and ballet. I might look really intimidating (since I tend to wear darker clothes), but I'm really obsessed with pastels and flowers. Thank you so much
I ship you with Cor!
He’s a total sweetie and he fell for you so hard
Loves your sweaters
So soft
Smell good
I’m not saying that he wears them sometimes but if you let him…
Ultimate Mom Friend? Good. That means help with Corin and Aravis.
He kind of is the responsible one of the group
But he’s terrible at it
Reading and writing? Yeah, you may need to help him with that. But he’ll always support your work and he loves when you read to him (at least some of the lines)
Cats? Hell yeah. He’s good with animals. He loves them.
Cor’s enchanted by your purple hair
Also soft
And purple
He likes to touch them
He likes to touch you
And his touches are always so gentle
As if he’s afraid that you may disappear
(I’m not saying that this boy had so few good things in his life but yeah.)
He brings out your pastel side
He loves flowers and pastels
And you
And he’s super impressed when you look intimidating
He just grins at the thought that you’re his significant other
I'm watching LWW and this came to me: after seeing how effective using two swords was for the Witch, Edmund decided to use two swords in combat (Prince Caspian much?). He realized he had no need of a shield.
Yess! At some point in Beruna, I can see him thinking the shield is kind of burdensome so he ditches it.
And Peter hates this at first. Because without a shield, Edmund is a little more vulnerable. But battle after battle, he’d find Edmund had ditched the shield again, and had two swords in hand. Then Peter agreed to let him go into battle without one, but made Oreius train Edmund on how to better defend himself with two swords.
Hey guys, so in celebration of having 2K followers this week, I'm thinking about to doing a headcanon contest so i can see everyone else's love headcanons (as it is because of you I'm here<3). However, I want to see who's interested. Please like/reblog this if you think you would like to participate. If this gets 50+notes I will do it. The basic rules would be as follows: 1.) Submit your headcanon into my ask(off anonymous) under the selected categories. They will be something like these: Golden age, modern AU, England, domestic, crossover, etc. There may also be mini headcanon Drabble category. {Include a link to your blog if you're submitting from a main but want your side blog attributed.} 2.)Keep the headcanons rated PG. (No sex, drugs, or anything that could be a trigger someone.) if you're unsure, ask me. :) 3.) You must be following this blog. I will then select my favorite 2 headcanons under each category. After I create a complete list, I will post them individually across a few days and create a special "hall of fame" on my blog page where they will remain attached to your name. If I get enough people interested, I will post a more detailed set of criteria for the contest. ^_^ Remember, the first rule is that this hits 50 notes!
