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.

i didn't even realize that those pics were from the trailer, i thought it was just them being adorable irl. WHAT SCENE ARE THEY FROM?! it looks kind of like a wedding, no? are they crashing a wedding? who is getting married? so many questions.

OH MY GOD BEN, THE FREUD INSIDE YOUR HEAD HAS SOME THINGS TO SAY. i am super, super, super into the fact that he just said that. BEN, I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU JUST SAID THAT. IS THIS REAL LIFE?

i extra love that scenario about ben and georgie and dorian grey. it seems like something that could actually happen, also like something that i would be super into. oh god, all things ben/georgie, i just need all of them, right now. i have been shipping them for an embarrassingly long time.

I'm not going to lie, I LITERALLY SQUEALED OUT LOUD when I spotted that Peter/Susan/Edmund scene. I don't know why they're there but I really couldn't care less, la la la la...

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 would read that. And enjoy it more than I probably should. WHAT HAS THIS FANDOM DONE TO ME?

[alexi-lupin.livejournal.com]

What, Wiki says Skandar was born Alexander Amin Casper Keynes! Their source seems legit enough. Everything has gone topsy-turvy! This is like when Daniel Radcliffe's middle name changed, lol.

I haven't even watched that trailer yet and I won't, because Narnia is kind of a ~family thing~ with me, so I like to wait to watch a trailer until I'm in a position to show it to my family and watch them squee over it too, in their own ways. :D

YOU HAVE A BEN/GEORGIE TAG.
YOU DID NOT HAVE A BEN/GEORGIE TAG BEFORE OUR GIANT THREAD IN THAT OTHER ENTRY.
YOU DIDN'T EVEN NEED ONE.
I HAVE CLEARLY BEEN AN EXCELLENT INFLUENCE ON YOU.
MY MISSION IS FAR FROM COMPLETE.

MUAHAHAHAHA. *pets evil white fluffy cat in lap, spins in evil armchair*

I do not call it "stupidness". I call it "BRILLIANCE". In all caps, even when I'm speaking aloud. (All caps aloud isn't yelling for me, just an unusually-intoned louder pitch. as if i'm pretending i have a microphone when i don't.)

BTW, I love the whole little paragraph ~*~detailing my evil influence~ and your gained enjoyment of The Ben/Georgie Mindset.

...Ben and Georgie should form a band called that.

...The Narnia cast should form a band. There should be a fic about it.

Will the First would play the electric triangle. (IDK, it seems a bit prissy to me, and so does he — in a good way.)
Anna would play the keyboard. Skandar would play the drums (and always hit them too hard).
Georgie would have a fuchsia-colored electric guitar and do screaming vocals.
(I just Google Images'd "fuchsia" — and misspelled it — to see if I was right about what color it actually is. An image of a dress came up. Therefore, Georgie must wear that dress at least once on stage. With black knee-length boots and other black accessories, IDK, maybe two earrings in each ear as well... things to create this very ~2004 pretty-meets-pUnK chikK~ look. And then Ben would notice it and like it and pretend not to be doing either of those things.)
Will P./Will the Second would play something weird like the piccolo or tall African drums. (Maybe weird-Benito would do this, actually?) And Ben would play bass guitar and possibly do vocals with Georgie. (Depending on the set they're playing or just upon how shippy I feel right then. hahah.)

asdf ja;lsdjf l;djf I SAW THIS BIT AND I DIED. I DIED AND THEN CAME BACK TO LIFE AND SQUEALED AND REWATCHED IT LIKE 10 TIMES. asdf j;lasdjf

Also, stop making me ship Ben/Georgie! Age difference is not my thing! BUT YOU'RE MAKING IT MY THING. And Ben's hair doesn't help...
