What she says: I’m fine.

What she means: I understand the Chronicles of Narnia was at its heart a fairytale with theological analogies for children. But why did Lewis never address how they had to adapted to life on Earth again. Why does no one talk about how the Pevensies had to grow up with a kingdom of responsibilities on their shoulders, only to return to Earth and be children. Take Lucy, she was youngest and perhaps she adapted more quickly-but she had the memories and mind of a grown woman in an adolescent body. Edmund literally found himself in Narnia, he went from a selfish boy to mature and experienced man. He found a purpose and identity through his experiences to come back as just Edmund, Peter’s younger brother. Did people wonder why the sullen, sour boy came back, carrying himself like a wisened king? Did his mother wonder why he and Peter suddenly got along so well, why they spent so much time together now? And Susan, the girl of logistics and reason came back with a difference in her. She learned how to be a diplomat and ambassador, Susan the Gentle had to live to endure not-so-gentle circumstances. She had the respect she wanted, only to be just another teen girl. And Peter, he entered the manhood and maturity he so wanted. He earned the responsibility and stripes he yearned for. He learned to command armies and conduct the menial tasks demanded of a king to rule a nation. But he came back, appearing to be just anther glory-hungry boy. Not to mention the PTSD they must have struggled with. Especially Edmund. How often did he wake up in a sweat, screaming a sibling or comrade’s name? His parents believe it’s the war, but it’s an entirely different one he has nightmares about. How often did he have trouble with flashbacks and mood swings? And how many times did he and Peter sit over a newspaper or near the radio listening to reports on the troops. How often did they pour over lost battles and debate better strategies. Did their parents ever wonder why they seemed to understand flight war so well? How long was it before they stopped discussing these things in front of people? Why does no one talk about this???

Why does no one talk about how the Pevensies had to grow up with a kingdom of responsibilities on their shoulders, only to return to Earth and be children

It’s not addressed because it’s understood. It was the shared experience of the generation. You are describing coming home from World War One, battle wearied and aged beyond belief, but walking around in the body of a youth. C S Lewis went to the front line of the Somme on his nineteenth birthday and went back to complete uni in 1918 after demob.

if you relate to having an idea for a story for 4 to 8 years with almost zero progress towards actually writing it down, clap your hands

A lil talk about SAO

Honestly, I didn’t know so many people hated SAO until last year when watching a youtube review after Ordinal Scale. The first season Aincrad arc and closing Mother’s Rosario arc of season 2 are some of my favorite parts of SAO. I understand now many of the reasons why people dislike it and I agree with some of them. Putting those reasons aside, I love the show. 

Obviously, I live under a rock cuz I just learned that season 3 was confirmed AND about the GGO spinoff AND about the SAO progressive manga, all in the space of 10 mins (thanks, google). I have so many mixed feelings right now. The progressive novel sounds really good, but also, I’m scared to read it. I’m mainly nervous about the changes he made, but excited for the extended story on Kirito and Asuna and clearing the floors. Also, I’m not usually a big spinoff person, but yay for GGO... I’m most hyped about season 3 but WHO KNOWS HOW THE HECK LONG IT WILL BE BEFORE COMING OUT. *cries because we have been waiting longer than Sherlock for this and will probably be waiting for another 3 years*

Nothing like travelin’ space, fighting bad guys, apprehending criminals, collecting bounties, and having existential crises, all while listening to very classy music. Glad to be space cowboy aboard the Bebop.

‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Live-Action Series In Works At Netflix

Netflix is set to produce a live-action series based on Nickelodeon’s mid-2000s animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender, and is bringing aboard original creators Michael DiMartino and Brya…

I’m so excited we can finally announce what’s in the works! Bryan and I are currently developing this new live-action version of Aang’s story. It’s going to be an epic ride!

“We’re thrilled for the opportunity to helm this live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender,” DiMartino and Konietzko said in a release announcing the project. “We can’t wait to realize Aang’s world as cinematically as we always imagined it to be, and with a culturally appropriate, non-whitewashed cast. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to build upon everyone’s great work on the original animated series and go even deeper into the characters, story, action, and world-building. Netflix is wholly dedicated to manifesting our vision for this retelling, and we’re incredibly grateful to be partnering with them.”

all the love I have for this story is still so strong. I am beyond excited for the future!

Thoughts on Love

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on what it means to truly love someone. Not romantic love. True love. This could apply to a spouse or someone you hope to marry, but it also applies to family members, friends, acquaintances, and God.

Imagine not having some fleeting infatuation for someone but a love so deep it hurts. Never forcing yourself upon someone, always acting in kindness, and not being jealous when that person is interested in other things or people or shares their love with others. Not announcing to the world about how much you love this person as if you have something to prove. Knowing that love is a gift, it’s something sacred that you did not come up with on your own. Loving someone so much you would never do anything to hurt them or their reputation, wanting to uphold them and do what’s best for them, not yourself. Loving so much that it’s hard to become angry with that person or stay angry and you don’t remember or keep track of the times something happened to anger you. Loving so much you will do everything you can to always protect that person. Being able to completely trust someone and having hope that preserves you through the hard times. 

This love can’t stand in the presence of evil. So if I “love” in a way that isn’t like this, it cannot be true love.
