i cannot help myself, i'm just doing what i do

[hardparade]

The website Trailer Addict has a whole bunch of Narnia videos. There are a couple of behind-the-scenes reels, and then some interviews. As usual my focus is mostly shallow...I am probably not the most informative news source in the world for this fandom but EVERYONE IS SO PRETTY AND IN LOVE.

This video starts with Caspian putting his arm around Lucy and walking off with her, then Edmund calling him back, and Caspian doing the same with him. IF THE WHOLE MOVIE IS THIS TOUCHY-FEELY I'M NOT SURE I'M GOING TO COPE. Caspian and Edmund's swordfight looks cooool. And also pretty hot. Woah, the water flooding into the bedroom looks AWESOME. Lol at them all flailing around. And lol at the dufflepuds scene.

It's weird seeing Michael directing Georgie, he seems to interact with her quite differently to how Andrew did. Also, that scene looks so pretty and awesome. AWW Georgie "WOW!! Aw, that's REALLY cool." Lol at Liam reading Aslan's lines while wearing a baseball cap. Man, voice-acting must be weird.

Why do Georgie and Skandar look so miserable, and/or sleepy? Awww and Will P. says he's made 'friends for life'. ALSO HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A PERSON TO BE AS POLITE AS WILL P. IS. He starts answering a question, and isn't even interrupting anyone but even so he apologises and offers the question to the others. And then they all tell the Smithsonian Zoo to call a lion cub Aslan. Random. (Also, unexpected reaction to this video: I could go for some Skandar/Georgie right now. Wut.)

Tilda Swinton. ♥ "She really scares them, and they never quite get over it, I think that's pretty much...Edmund particularly, I think, never quite gets over...she's always there, as she says, you know, 'You can't kill me off. I'm always there. Forever in your mind.'" CHILLS. I really need some Tilda/Skandar or Edmund/Jadis in my life. Also, her hair looks awesome.

Can I just say how much I love that one of the bullet points for Ben's interview is actually 'Will Poulter'? Awesome. "I've never met someone who plays a character further from themselves. He is the sweetest, most apologetic, effusive, you know, young man you could ever hope to meet, and he's playing this awful, bolshy, nasty piece of work who gets on everybody's nerves. And I found it actually almost impossible to play irritated with him at the beginning, and so I just made a choice that actually, King Caspian would find Eustace amusing, like a sort of amusing new creature that's landed on his ship, because there was literally no way I wasn't gonna be able to smile during his rants." ♥ IS ANYONE ELSE REALLY SHIPPING THIS? C'monnn. Ben, I think YOU'RE the one being 'effusive'. Look at the love all over his face. And that description is just...I don't think he could love him more. THIS WAS UNEXPECTED.

The thing is, though, Ben's not really exaggerating. WILL IS SO LOVELY.

Skandar...looks really really good in this video. I like what he says about Narnia making him more confident too and wishing everyone could have that experience.

Lol, Skandar saying it was different coming onto set as an 18 year old, because when he was 12 he could just run around and do whatever he wanted but this time he had to be an ~adult.

Awww Andrew talking about how the kids have all grown up. He says it's been really exciting 'this week' to get all four kids back together, but bittersweet because it was such a short time. I really love Andrew's relationship with them all because he's seen them grow up and he was sort of like a father to them on set and idk.


So I kinda ran out of steam but there are a bunch more videos here—interviews, stuff from the premiere, and clips from the actual movie. EXCITEMENT: I HAVE IT.

EXCITEMENT ALL AROUND. NOW WE JUST HAVE TO HOPE THAT I CAN WRITE THE DAMN THING.

Woo I'm glad you like it. You totally get the feel of it too - the idea that Skandar's not doing it to actually hurt Will, he's just focused on Georgie. In the film during that scene, Matthew says to Theo that he wants him to know that he's grateful (the implication being "thanks for letting me fuck your sister who you're freakishly attached to and possibly in love with") and says that it really seems like Theo and Isabelle are two halves of the same person so he feels like he's a part of Theo too. And Theo is all "You're nice and all, but no. It wasn't always meant to be the three of us." But I think Skandar would be nicer about it and 'cause the ultimate outcome of this is threesomes, he wants Will P. too.

...Man I know this movie WAY too well. ALSO HERE HAVE A SCREENCAP OF THIS SCENE:



The thing is, there are so many scenes like that that I keep thinking of, that would translate so well. It's so weird. And god I'm starting to think I need a Skandar/Georgie icon, or a Skandar/Georgie/Will P. one. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN.

[starsimpulse.livejournal.com]

i feel like maybe skandar could be like that more in the beginning, all focused on just the two of them, not wanting to let anyone in, "it was never meant to be the three of us," but then he falls in love with will p., because will p. is legit the best. and, in the even beginning, before skandar falls in love with him because he is the cutest, maybe a lot of it, bringing will in at all is that georgie wants him, and he can't not give georgie what she wants. idk. i am not at all coherent.

what's interesting about skandar and georgie is that as much as they grew up together, it's not like two of them have just been bathing together their entire lives, or kissing or sleeping naked together, it's a relatively new development in their relationship, because for a long time, they had a fairly normal one. and on one hand it's kind of a gradual thing, because they've known each other and cared about and loved each other forever, and they just start spending more and more time together, but it's also kind of SUDDEN ONSET OF FEELINGS because this was not part of their relationship two years ago, two months ago, even, and it's shocking how quickly they become super comfortable, and dependent on each other. and i just find that fascinating, the idea that they were spending all this time together and maybe georgie's spending the night most nights, and maybe one day she's just like, "budge over, you're using all the hot water" and then it just became a thing, and it was distressingly easily they fall into the routine of it, to curl up in bed together, to peel of each other's clothes on nights when it was too hot for pajamas and every night after that, and when georgie kisses him 'good morning' or 'thank you' that's easy too. and i like that, the weird combination of gradual buildup and "HOW DID THIS HAPPEN", like sometimes they fall asleep in the same bed, and sometimes they curl up together in said bed, and sometimes it's too hot for all these clothes, and sometimes they kiss. whatever. ugh, it is too late for me.

Oooh. God, I was going to just do the whole thing from Will's POV because that's kinda how the movie is, and I also just though it would be easier, but now I want to have some bits from Skandar or Georgie's to explain backstory like that. Because it's so interesting, the idea of how they went from being pretty good friends to being that sort of obsessed with each other and inseparable. Your whole description is so lovely. :')

I like the idea of it all being rooted in Will and Anna's absence as well, and how they didn't really notice how dependent they were on them, and that "family" feeling the four of them had. And it's not the same with Ben because he hasn't been there all along. And they keep...almost reverting back to childhood, LWW time, in a way. When he wasn't there. And everything is more different than it's ever been, and so yeah, it's just out of comfort really. And I think they wouldn't properly acknowledge any sexual undertones, or Skandar wouldn't at least, because he just wouldn't want to. He'd see it as a sibling sort of relationship, but deep down he'd know he wouldn't behave this way with his actual sister.

GOD IT'S SO INTERESTING IDK.

i think, like the orgy!fic, it might be easier to write from an outsiders pov, but i want so badly to see their backstory written out that i'm probably going to encourage you to do it that way purely for selfish reasons. seriously, showering together is legitimately my favorite kink, trope, THING of all the things, even platonically, actually especially platonically (even though skandar and georgie are only quasi-platonic). i just find it super intimate and AWESOME, and i want to see how things started for them, the first night she showed up at his door, the first night she crawled into his bed, she first time she slipped into the shower with him, the first time she kissed him, just first time everything. also, apparently in my head georgie is the instigator of ALL THE THINGS. idk, i'm sure skandar initiated some things, what do you think?

i love so much what you said about them reverting back to lww era, back to their childhood, because they were so young then, and i think that's the key of it, really, that and the familial aspects, the feeling of abandonment that's an even bigger issue as a child. i think maybe skandar in particular is really shocked by how much their absence has effected him, like he expected georgie to have a hard time of it, and georgie excepted to have a harder time of it, and obviously he expected to miss them, but, well, he's 18 and he expected to be able to deal with it like a normal person, it's going to be fine, but then when it's not, it's really disconcerning, and maybe that's part of why he latches on to georgie as quickly and as fiercely as he does.

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and it'll probably flesh things out a bit anyway, because even if Ben tells Will it wasn't always like this, it's going to seem like Skandar and Georgie are just randomly like this all of a sudden and it might seem weird without backstory of some kind. OH GOD I have an unreasonable amount of love for the whole shower thing, particularly if Georgie does it in that casual "you're using all the hot water" way, and the same for sleeping in his bed, it just being something that happened. Like maybe she just lay down to talk to him and they were still fully-clothed, and then the next thing they knew they were waking up in the morning all curled up together.

I can definitely imagine Georgie initiating most things. I think she probably would have started it all, really. But now that they're in this comfortable place with each other, he's just as likely to kiss her first or whatever.

YES.

[starsimpulse.livejournal.com]

YES, BACKSTORY IS DEFINITELY NEEDED. *NODS* i agree, i agree, i agree.

so have you started writing it then? no like pressure or anything, i was just wondering where your thought process was right now. :)

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

I HAVE. I've actually written ~3000 words so far and feel like I haven't even gotten anywhere yet, so that's interesting.
