BE STILL MY HEART.



Oh my god, oh my god. So prettyyyyy. Look at them looking at each other! And with their arms all linked like that awwwwww. What scene is this from? I don't even care. They look so perfect together. ♥

These are from a new theatrical trailer for Dawn Treader, btw, which is AWESOME:

I think this one has impressed me the most so far. Everything looks so epic and beautiful and I can't waaaait. We should also maybe talk about the fact that I was just hit by the sudden realisation that I might ship Edmund/Jadis WHERE DID THAT COME FROM, THIS FANDOM MAKES ME SHIP EVERYTHING.


Also while I'm making a Narnia-y post, and because my Ben/Georgie desires are still not waning, I'd like to post a quote from this interview with Ben about the Birdsong play.

Ben: I was gonna say, there's a sort of voyeuristic aspect, I think, with certain parts of the play. I mean when you're reading a book, and you're reading a chapter about an episode where (stammers) the love scenes, or scenes with the, with this sort of fifteen year old character Lisette...sort of very very awkward scenes...if you're reading that in the safety of your bedroom or the safety of your sofa, you can distance yourself slightly from what's happening, and whilst it's awkward and you're sort of flipping pages to find out what happens, you're not confronted with the imagery of it.

LISETTE IS A CHARACTER WHO MAKES ~SUGGESTIVE REMARKS TO BEN'S CHARACTER. Let's just think about other fifteen year olds we know who would probably do that to Ben. In fact, actually, Wikipedia says Lisette is sixteen. (I have read the book, but it was a looong time ago, so Wiki will do for now.) You'd think Ben would know that. PERHAPS HE HIMSELF IS THINKING OF A CERTAIN FIFTEEN YEAR OLD.

I was talking to merae about this ship and now I'm really interested in trying to write something based on the idea of Georgie seeing Dorian Gray, because you know she totally did even though Ben probably forbid her. And how she always used to see Ben as a big brother type like Will, but then suddenly she's watching him getting naked and having orgies, and it gives her ~feelings. And then maybe she can't quite look Ben in the eye anymore and he thinks he's done something to upset her, and so he tries to make things better only that makes it worse and and and. THOUGHTS.


I genuinely don't think I'm physically able to write all of the fic I've got ideas. AND IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE WITH THE RELEASE OF THE MOVIE. But I can't wait.

Man I haven't even gotten out of bed and had breakfast or anything yet. THIS IS WHAT THIS FANDOM DOES TO ME. I should go start my day.

LOL, FREUD WOULD HAVE A FIELD DAY. And omg yes actually, I can imagine him not seeing the parallels until it's too late. But like, having those scenes nag at him and make him more uncomfortable than they make anyone else. And he doesn't know why. DAMMIT NOW I WANT FIC OF THIS TOO.

I maybe even downloaded a copy of Birdsong just to seek out these scenes. -_- AND THERE'S A BIT WHERE LISETTE IS ASKING STEPHEN TO TOUCH HER. AND HE DOES. AND THIS HAPPENS:

Something in the perversity of the situation had started to arouse him and he did not at once withdraw his hand when she placed it beneath her lifted skirt, at the top of her thigh. Then she slid it inside her drawers, where he felt fine hair and wet parted flesh.

He pulled it away at once, because his inclination was to leave it there and he knew if he did so it would be the start of something more awful and more hopeless than he had already begun.

THIS COULD EASILY BE PART OF A BEN/GEORGIE FIC Y/N
