Blast from the past -- today I rediscovered an attempt at Golden Age Susan Pevensie from when I was a teenager!

[jahaliel]

what scares me about Susan

when i first read the story i loved Susan, her grace her willingness to do her best her love for her family then i read the final story grief swamped me - i felt such horror at how she’d been left behind and alone i grew older and how then i raged, you see what scares me about Susan is that I’m like her - I questioned, I left I wear my heels high, my lipstick red, am unapologetic for the decisions i have made if she is no longer a friend of Narnia how can I be?

i read more, i grew more - I discovered myself and what faith means rather than the trappings of religion, and through this i firmly believe Susan and I, we are loved We are forgiven, we are free And we will see Narnia again

To the glistening eastern sea, I give you Queen Lucy the Valiant. To the great western wood, King Edmund the Just. To the radiant southern sun, Queen Susan the Gentle. And to the clear northern sky, I give you King Peter the Magnificent.

Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen. May your wisdom grace us until the stars rain down from the heavens.

✨ Redesigning Costumes in Narnia ✨ Part 2: Queen Susan's Coronation Parade Dress in Prince Caspian (2008)

So this is the one where I barely kept anything from the original; just the colors and some details. I honestly didn't like the original dress that much and wished it could be closer to what she wore during the farewell scene (which ate btw).

So I put my entire being into this single artwork.

I also liked the way I drew Susan's face here; I was frustrated at first bec I can't seem to get it right but I trusted the process (tho it doesn't know I'm putting my trust in it) and finally got this.

Other: Peter, Edmund, Lucy

Fandom: The Chronicles of Narnia Character/theme: Susan Pevensie after The Last Battle Song: ‘Keep Us Connected’ by Celia Rose Gooding

I've included some thoughts and a general plot summary below the cut...

I was absolutely devastated when I first learned of Susan losing her whole family to a train crash in The Last Battle. And that Peter, Edmund and Lucy were still so young at the time. That was far too tragic an ending for all of them and I don’t think I’ll ever be over it :(

Right from the very first moment that I heard this song in the musical episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, it immediately made me think of Susan in this stage of her life and I knew I had to make a video with it. Then I proceeded to take a whole year to actually finish it lol

The general story here is that Susan initially has a tough time dealing with the loss of her family. Over time, this eventually turns to acceptance and with it, she also finds her way back to her memories of Narnia and all that she shared there with her family. She goes on to live a long fulfilling life and when she eventually dies, she is reunited with her family in Aslan’s Country. So, the beach scene at the end of the video is meant to be representative of that reunion in Aslan’s Country :)

For the morning crowd. The song is from the Star Trek Strange New Worlds musical episode. Uhura sings of a life full of love and loss and the calamity that robbed her of her family. There is bitterness at the beginning with how she feels she is always fixing the problems of others and that "everywhere I go, I'm solo." Ultimately she embraces her strength to "keep us connected". I've listened to this song from ST:SNW dozens of times and never thought to connect it to Susan. The first stanzas of this bid gutted me.

how many narnia blogs are even out there

[lasaraleen]

I don't know if you're answering questions, but I just finished watching LWW and I NEED to know. How do you thinks the Pevensies got their titles in the books cuz I cannot come up with nothing

I am indeed answering asks *in theory*, but I barely get any 😂

Now, this is just getting into person headcanons, I have fairly specific and fairly board ideas about it.

The Magnificent

Peter’s title came first, I think. It started among the soldiers in the battle between the Narnians and Jadis’ forces. He had barely trained, he was young, he stood his ground and fought regardless.

Later, he showed his skill as a High King, in many ways. He was a great leader, a kind ruler, a strong soldier, even though he didn’t love the blade. And even though he wouldn’t think so, when they met him, everyone knew, he was Magnificent.

The Gentle

Susan was first thought of as gentle by the mice who untied Aslan on the stone table. Despite her fear of mice, she didn’t hurt them. It was soon after Aslan gifted the mice with their role as Talking Beasts, they spread the tale, and the small Beasts knew she would be fair and kind to them. She avoided the battle all that she could, she worried for her family, she cared for the small.

Perhaps she had a bit of a temper, but those near her knew she was Gentle.

The Just

Edmund never felt worthy of this title even years later. He knew how it was to be controlled by evil, to be under the influence of someone with more poor, to be a betrayer. When those who broke the law, when those who had been hurt, when those who were apologetic came before the throne, his siblings trusted his judgement. He was first called this when a young supporter of the White Witch was brought before them. He only helped him find his way again.

Despite it all, he was Just.

The Valiant

Lucy’s title caught on later than Peter’s, and was mainly spread by things that Susan said. There was no question of the young queen’s bravery, as Aslan himself said that if she was any braver, she would be a lioness. She was the most beloved, and everyone knew her heart was true.

Lucy, as brave as a lioness, was Valiant from the day she stepped into Narnia

[theonceandalwaysqueen]

Oh! I love the idea she could have gotten her title from the Mice!
