"To the Radiant Southern Sun, I give you Queen Susan the Gentle."

I JUST LOVE YOUR WRITING OKAY. "there was once an usurpator-king, and with his iron stained hands, he’d slain a witch, mercilessly. there was once a statue-queen, and she’d lain in all the land’s arms, so heavy her jewellery that she could scarcely bear it. there was once a beast-king, with teeth as sharp as knives, his back a map of all the battles he’d won. there was once a fae-queen, her laughter a shriek of mockery, dancing barefoot with all the things that rob infants from their cradles."

ahhhhh i love this one! fghdfjghgdjg i worked on that particular part of Dearest Uncle, a Letter To All the Dead Things for literal hours because I wanted to get it right. When I wrote this piece, I was particularly interested in how history can warp our perception of things by describing the same things with differently coloured language and deliberately leaving things out. Rewritten from Old Narnia’s point of view, this paragraph would be something like this:

“There was once a magnificent king, and with his child hands, he’d slain a witch, heaving. There was once a gentle queen, and she’d smile and dance with each of us, jewellery adorned and gleaming like the sun. There was once a just king, with a tongue as silver as his crown, his back a map of all that he’d survived. There was once a valiant queen, and she was more Narnian than she was human, laughing and dancing barefoot with the dryads and all her love.“

hi hi this is for the writing ask meme!!! "i stepped into this, your, world and- what did you see? a child? a girl, her hair heated and curled and dying? a warrior, with little trembling hands, bow steady as magic? a Queen? a doll? -what am i, Lion?to you – this world? am i a monarch? a ruler? teeth and arrows and horn? a girl? a woman? a statue, hollowed and unmoving and crumbling away? a story? a song? am i a lullaby, Lion? am i salvation, am i the world at your paws? who am i? what am i for?

i just did a thing on the entire poem ^^

also i don't know if you're up to doing several aahh so if not that's fine!! "the dryad cocks her head, looks at me with bottle-wood-green eyes, bares her fangs in a smile (or maybe just a flash of teeth) and asks me who I am."

i’m up to doing several, no worries!

this is an excerpt from a poem this time, you can find it here. This paragraph in particular starts and ends the poem, and Caspian’s train of thought. He’s never seen a dryad up close before, and he’s still dirty and exhausted from battle, he just killed his uncle and is knees deep in his identity crisis still. He doesn’t really know who he is, but he does know who he doesn’t want to be. So when this dryad starts talking to him in a language he has trouble with and with body language he can’t understand (smiling is only a gesture of good will in humans and this dryad hasn’t moved in centuries and she’s pissed. but then again he doesn’t know if she didn’t pick up smiling during the pevensies’ or any of the following reigns) this paragraph is sort of what Caspian’s guilt comes down to: he’s Narnian as well as he is Telmarine and he doesn’t know anything about them despite having read their legends and their history. He doesn’t know if this dryad is asking him out of curiosity or because she wants to hear a certain answer. He doesn’t know if she’s planning to kill him for being Miraz’ nephew, and at this point he doesn’t know what to do with himself or everything about his childhood that has been shifted into a new light. all he knows is that he wants to do better.

for the nickname asks- doll, princess and cupcake!

hi eta !!! ^~^

i answered doll here !

princess - if you could live in any other time period, which would it be? the very short answer would be, no other time than now. while i know that each time period has it’s positive and negative things, i feel very blessed for the time i live in right now. i cannot even begin to imagine not living with today’s technology (pretty much all my friends either live super far away from me, or - the majority - lives in different parts of the world) still, i am also happy that i grew up playing with ‘real’ toys and did not spend all of my childhood using a mobile phone or tablet etc. THOUGH, if i had to pick a time period, i would love to live in a super over-the-top palace in the rococo/barok period, simply because i love those aesthetics lol, i dismiss everything else nfdndf

cupcake - if you’re treating yourself, what do you do?  take care of myself, shower, get dressed nicely, do my hair etc. make myself feel cute and put together. i will do some physical activity, usually going for a walk. have my comfort foods and drink enough water !! i love to play videos games, cuddle with my cats or do something creative like make edits in photoshop or work on my journal. and of course !!! listen to my favourite music !

thank you for asking xoxo
