narnia pictures & quotespam

[hardparade]

So can we talk about this picture and how it is my new favourite picture of all pictures?

That might be a slight exaggeration but LOOK:



♥_♥ Look at Ben being all big-brotherly with his standing up and putting his hands on Skandar and Will's backs! And Skandar and Will's sort of awkward smiles! And Georgie just chillin' at the front looking all pretty. I think this is from the same photoshoot as a couple of others from before, and oh my god I want to see all of them and in high quality RIGHT NOW PLEASE.



Well hellooo.


Skandar and Georgie at the Lexington premiere of the movie.




COAT.


SCARF.


I wish there were some of them actually posing together. :(


Also this is Liam Neeson with his arm round Will P.'s shoulder, because: awwww.


And finally, SKANDAR/LION CUB OTP. This is the cutest ever.


PLUS I also have a whole bunch of random quotes I've taken from interviews because they were cute/amusing. And in the process of doing this I have totally lost track of sources, so it's a bit all-over-the-place, but...

Will Poulter and Georgie Henley are only teenagers but they are already groomed to be the classiest act Hollywood has seen in years. They enter the room and immediately begin teasing one another as if no time had passed since they last seen one another.
Georgie Henley: Hello. Nice Jacket.
Will Poulter: Thanks. Nice Dress.

THE FIRST SENTENCE IS TRUE. THE SECOND IS NOT; THEY ARE NOT TEASING BUT CLEARLY FLIRTING. Which is adorable, btw.

More than half of Henley's life has been spent in Narnia. Not literally, of course, but she was seven for the first film and now, aged 15, she has the trilogy under her belt. She won the role of Lucy when her drama teacher called Pippa Hall, the casting director.
"I got asked questions such as, 'If you were on a desert island and you had to eat one of your family, who would it be?' I said, 'My sister', and went into a lot of gruesome detail...they seemed to like that."

This is...so Georgie. I love her.

This lack of pretension comes from remaining "up north", she insists, and attending a local grammar school. "And her two elder sisters call her 'squirt' when she comes back [from filming] and that helps a lot," her mother says.

HER OLDER SISTERS CALL HER SQUIRT.

Movies, she says, are her only chance to act: "I attempted to do drama at school and boys threw things at me."

Oh Georgie.

She's hungry, apologizes and tears off small pieces of dinner roll and munches them daintily as we talk. Cute Will Poulter, who reminds us of the younger Leo DiCaprio, has blondish, spiked-up hair and is in a stylish gray suit jacket over a tee and dark jeans. Will is reaching over for candies in a bowl on our table. We tell him to dig in. He says:
Will: Oh, don't say that or I'll eat them all and roll back to England!

Ahahaha.

Kidzworld: One of the themes of the novel and this film is overcoming temptation and conquering it. What would be a great temptation for each of you?
Georgie: I've always wanted to do theater studies; study drama at my school and do exams in it and take it as a lesson and the biggest temptation for me would be to take up theater studies then get a really, really good job and have to say no to it.
Kidzworld: But you're already an actress. Why study theater?
Georgie: But I'm not very good. (Will disagrees here) Film is very different to theater. There's tricks of the trade you have to learn. I'd hone my craft. But another weird temptation I have is that every time I go on top of a tall building, I want to jump off it! I want to feel the feeling of flying down so I think bungee jumping is something I should do. I can't be trusted around tall buildings.
Will: I think my biggest temptation would be to have a super power and not be able to tell anyone about it or use it in public in front of people. I watched loads of superhero shows when I was a kid and read comics and watched cartoons. I'd always think "Why don't you tell anybody?" I'd be tempted to tell and show!

Oh my god. First of all, that (Will disagrees here) made me squee. And second, their temptations are AMAZING. I love them.

Kidzworld: Lucy is concerned that she's not as pretty as her sister. What is the one thing that Georgie wishes she could change about herself?
Georgie: Humm, I've got a few things. I'm quite annoying actually, without meaning to be. I try my best not to be but I get very excited about stuff. I get hyper. We have a travelling carnival coming to our town every year and it's the highlight of my year. I love it so much I shake! But everyone has their physical insecurities. I'm not so happy with my face.

HAS GEORGIE ACTUALLY SEEN HER FACE.

Kidzworld: Which actor's career do you want to model yours after? Who do you think has made good choices?
Georgie: I think Johnny Depp has a great career because he's always chosen different genres and gone for the more outside roles. He's never taken the easy option and that's something I'd like to do. Also, I think people give Kristen Stewart some bad press but she's made a very good transition from being with Jody Foster in Panic Room to now, she's a fully-fledged and I think, talented actress
and I think she does very well and deserves much better press and I look up to her career as well.
Will: I think it would be someone who has made that transition from child to adult actor. That's really inspiring. Like Leonardo DiCaprio.
Kidzworld: You remind me of him.
Will: (brightening up) Oh, you've made my year. That's very sweet. This is too much! He's my idol and Christian Bale as well, being an English actor starting out in Empire of the Sun and now he's Batman. What more could you want?

GEORGIE LIKES KSTEW. AND AWWW, WILL'S REACTION TO BEING COMPARED TO LEO. SO CUTE.

It is impossible to imagine what the Gold Coast Hospital doctors made of the constant stream of bleeding and bruised children who arrived freshly injured from the land of Narnia.
In reality, the scrapes had been sustained on the Gold Coast set of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader the latest instalment in the adaptation of the C.S. Lewis novels.
But it was still a hard task convincing doctors the bumps and bruises were the result of sword battles and angry dragons.
"I forgot to duck," says Georgie Henley, 15, who plays Lucy Pevensie in the film. "I got hit in the face with a sword and got a black eye. I was trying to explain to the woman that I'd been hit by a sword in the head. She was thinking, 'right, this girl is a freak'."

LOL.

"I take that as a compliment because [Emma Watson] is so smart, but I don't think I could front a Burberry campaign or anything like that. I don't think modelling is something I could do because I like food too much. I had an Asian platter for two the other day and I finished it all myself. It was so yummy," she says, settling down to give her first solo grown-up interview.

LOL YOU GUYS SHE IS THE BEST.

Is there anyone special at school? Does she have a boyfriend? "Oh no, there is nothing like that. I am definitely viewed as the ugly duckling in my group. My girlfriends are all very attractive so nobody looks at me like that," she says with her customary self-deprecation.

We do. But seriously someone needs to get this girl a mirror.

So, has she developed any extravagant tastes? "I am careful with money. I am on an allowance and the only things I spend money on are going to the cinema, downloading music and the odd trip to Topshop in Leeds."

TOPSHOP IN LEEDS. I just want to point this out, because I have been to Topshop in Leeds (both of them! There are two!) many a time and it's exciting to think that I could possibly bump into her there one day. Even though I know I'd just be like *stare* and not actually say hi. BUT STILL.

What is it like to become part of this Narnia family? You're the newbie on the block here. How welcoming was everybody?
Will: I can honestly say that as soon as I got the part, Ben [Barnes], who I knew only as Prince Caspian and who I was so excited to meet, bumped into me at this audition in London. And he was so nice! I was going to get out a pen and paper and ask him to sign something, and he knew my name! Same with Skandar and Georgie, they've all been so nice to me. I'm the least experienced [actor on the set] and it's kind of daunting. And, they all made me feel so welcome. I've been really lucky to be welcomed into this family. Filming has been an incredible experience and I've got my cast mates to thank for a large part of that.

WILL WAS GOING TO ASK FOR BEN'S AUTOGRAPH WHEN HE FIRST MET HIM. I don't know why I find this so adorable. And Ben knew his name! And Will is clearly so amazed by that! THEY ARE SO CUTE.

She talks fondly of her school chums and a little less fondly of double maths. She is embarrassed at how easily she gets starstruck. Henley speaks with an eloquence beyond her years, but peppers her sentences with teenage words, from "humongous" to the ubiquitous "like". She interrupts me at one point to tell me I have "lovely teeth", and is refreshingly excited about the prospect of getting to borrow beautiful clothes to wear to premiers.

Georgie interrupts interviewers to compliment them on their teeth. That is all.

Skandar paid a painful penalty for trying to be too macho during the filming of an action scene. Ben Barnes, who plays Prince Caspian, had to run and tackle Skandar to save him from a giant serpent. Skandar, 19, said: "The first time Ben did it, they reckoned it looked a bit lame. So he was told to really go for it. I didn't want the scene to go on all day so I turned to Ben and asked that when he hit me if he could do it like a man this time. Then he hit me so hard, there was a loud thud."

Okay, I have issues with this whole 'like a man' thing, but that aside...this quote. Skandar asked Ben to hit him like a man. And Ben did. And. I don't even know what I'm getting at but there's definitely something sexy in here somewhere.

She said: "I had just flown into Australia from England two days earlier. I was jet-lagged, had an ear infection and was coughing underwater. It was my birthday as well."
When she fainted, Georgie was taken to hospital. She said: "There was a panic. They had to get oxygen for me. In hospital they checked I hadn't swallowed any water or anything. When I came back to the studio, they had a huge birthday cake and everyone was there."
Georgie said: "They adapted the shot so the boys would dive to the bottom and swim up and I'd just jump in and swim with them."
Georgie dismisses the entire episode with a shrug but gets wide-eyed with excitement as she remembers the film set being hit by a sand storm. It was like something from a sci-fimovie as everything was covered in a dusting of orange.
Georgie said: "It was weird. I had never seen weather like it."

First of all, damn, poor Georgie. But also, it is just so HER to 'dismiss the entire episode with a shrug' but get all excited about sandstorms.

THN: Hi Ben, Paul from The Hollywood News.
Ben: PAUL!
THN: Sorry. (referring to the stage behind) It's very loud isn't it?
Ben: It is. Wow.

Idk this just made me laugh. PAUL!

Was seeing yourself in 3D a strange experience?
Skandar: I normally see myself in 3D. (laughs)

SKANDAR YOU ARE MY FAVOURITE.

Edmund's character is pushed into temptation and weakness far more frequently than his siblings, how did you find playing such a demanding role?
Skandar: Edmund does have a deep and ingrained vulnerability which was established in the first film. It is what's been haunting him, it's what will always haunt him. I think the decision to bring Tilda back, although it's not necessarily found in the books, was a really good idea in that she symbolizes his fears and temptations and his past mistakes.

♥ I love this. I also love that he says 'Tilda' and not 'the White Witch', for...my own personal reasons.

Any temptations in reality?
Skandar: My thing is…I'm a big car man. I don't have one unfortunately but I've been lucky enough to drive a couple of nice cars. I watch Top Gear every week! Andrew Adamson has an Audi R8 and he let me drive it which is actually perfectly legal as he has an insurance policy which lets anybody drive it. So much fun!

Hee! Andrewww.

What was your favourite scene in the film?
Skandar: My favourite scenes to watch on screen were most definitely my least favourite to actually film! For instance the sword fight with Ben because what happened was…I stabbed him a couple of times. It was a horrible feeling! One of the worst days of my life! The first time I stabbed him in the leg, the blades had a metal core but a rubber exterior so you're not going to maim anybody but the speed we were going at means they can give you some nasty bruises. Then I hit him in the cheek and I was mortified because a centimetre the wrong way and I might have got him in the eye….Then I got him in the lip and I remember the moment it happened he screamed out and he was crouched over. I just thought 'oh my God' and looked around at everybody and they were all completely appalled and one of the stunt men was actually shaking his head at me!

I KEEP RE-READING THIS. There needs to be fic of this whole swordfight debacle. I can't even imagine how that must have felt. And I love how he was obviously so freaked out about it, aww.

Have you been keeping an eye on Voyage of the Dawn Treader's reception?
It’s something I try not to get bogged down in. Honestly, I'm really waiting to see what the general public think. I've not read it but I've heard that apparently the Guardian man didn't like it but it sounds like his views were unconnected to the reality and heart of the film. It's a children's film! Coming from north London I'd say it's not necessarily a film for north London farts. I think if you get into the spirit of it as a family film. Something you can enjoy and be innocent with. I find it really silly when critics don't like it because of ridiculously high brow nitpicking. It's not like 5 year olds are going to turn to their parents and say, 'Well Mummy, I thought the dynamic wasn't right…'

HAHA NO SERIOUSLY SKANDAR, YOU'RE MY FAVOURITE.

Will Poulter will be taking over the Narnia story in The Silver Chair, how do you feel about handing over the torch to him?
Skandar: I couldn't think of a worthier torch carrier! He's a great guy and I really enjoyed working with him. We became great friends and he lives in London and I meet up often with him and his family. It was an absolute pleasure and honour to have him on the film and I do hope they make The Silver Chair for his sake.

♥ They meet up often!

Henley hasn't touched her Narnia wages. "I can have access to it whenever I want but I don't want it. I don't need anything expensive, or want anything expensive. I don't even know how much I have. If it was a big amount I could save it and get something cool in the future. Why spend it on sweets and clothes and stuff now when I could have, like, a nice sofa or something?"

A NICE SOFA OR SOMETHING. Georgie, you could probably buy a million nice sofas.


I have a bunch of videos to post too but THIS IS TOO LONG NOW and the videos deserve lots of attention, so they will come in separate post in a moment.

gufdgu opfu aosdfu 9a0sduf a;dsjf;l THIS ENTIRE POST. Why is this cast so adorable? Why are you so awesome for posting all of this?

Also, I want Georgie's clothes. All of it. Or at least, whoever's clothes it is that she's borrowing, apparently.

I normally see myself in 3D. (laughs)

OH SKANDAR. I LITERALLY SAT THERE LAUGHING FOR A GOOD MINUTE AT THIS COMMENT. How I have missed his interviews. <33333

[iamshunpike.livejournal.com]

I just wanted to say that your Lucy icon always makes me smile whenever I see it floating around by your screenname in this fandom. :3

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

Awwww, thank you! :)

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

♥ I HAVE TO POST IT, I WOULD EXPLODE IF I KEPT IT ALL TO MYSELF.

Me tooo.

LOL ME TOO. That was the best response to that question. I LOVE HIM.

[iamshunpike.livejournal.com]

Also this is Liam Neeson with his arm round Will P.'s shoulder, because: awwww.
I shall reiterate: I love the father-children bond that Liam seems to have with EVERYONE. Even James, I bet, if we were able to unearth oldddddd BTS footage. But not Tilda or Andrew or Jim Broadbent obviously, agh.

the classiest act Hollywood has seen in years
True dat, what have I been saying this whole time?
~PSYCHIC MODE~ again?? Predicting the press's compliments? or is that stretching it? ehh.

'If you were on a desert island and you had to eat one of your family, who would it be?' I said, 'My sister', and went into a lot of gruesome detail...they seemed to like that.
Which sister?? Rachael or Laura?
oh no, oh no for the love of all that makes sense, i can't believe what i just did
i just shipped rachael/georgie a little. A LITTLE. Is that okay in this fandom??? AGH YOU SHIP ANNA/LULU RIGHT? SAME DAMN THING.
i think it was the double entendre of 'eat one of your family'. FUCKKKK. i am going to hell and i don't care

Also, have you noticed how people who hate 'cest shipping tend to think that the only people who ship incest are either A) sick in the head, or B) only children? Because, um, that is so far from true. There is a difference between reality and fiction, fandom and RL actions, people. I have a sister IRL but FOR GOD'S SAKE, IT IS NOT LIKE THAT. I can ship Peter/Lucy without wanting to shag my own family — and without being mentally "screwy" either! Ughughugh I am so glad that this fandom doesn't judge for incest shipping. MOST OF IT ANYWAY (I'm looking at you, book-instead-of-movies-fans. urgh.)

Roll back to England! AHAH! ~get fat and roll with youuuuu~

I love Skandar's intellectual-sounding badassery. the backhandedness is really, genuinely excellent.

the Narnia story in The Silver Chair
THE SILVER CHAIR IS MY FAVORITE BOOK IN THE ENTIRE SERIES. IT IS SO DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS.
THEY HAD BETTER MAKE THE MOVIE OR I'LL DIE
/DRAMATIC

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

ME TOO. ESPECIALLY considering the fact that he wasn't even ever on set, so it's like he has this father-children bond with everyone despite hardly ever seeing them. It sort of makes it even sweeter.

You pretty much did predict that, hahaha. Also: it is so true. And I adore that they called them an 'act' because I like to twist that into imagining them as a classy couple.

Oh my goddd I think at one point or another I have shipped, like, each Narnia cast member with at least one of their siblings. OKAY NOT QUITE THAT BAD but I am a terrible person and have definitely considered Anna/Lulu and Skandar/Soumaya. SO GEORGIE/RACHAEL DOES NOT DISGUST ME. And lol at the way your head got to that place. LOL GRUESOME DETAIL. Oh mannn see you in hell.

I am 100% in agreement about the whole incest thing. I have a sister too, and I've had 'cest-haters get so grossed out by that, which is so weird to me because IT'S NOT LIKE I SHIP MYSELF WITH HER?! I'm shipping totally different siblings! IN MY MIND. And I don't ship people purely because they're blood-related. I am a bit mentally screwy, though, so I can't argue with that one so well.

YES to intellectual-sounding badassery. God, he's so good at that. And backhandedness, too, apparently. He's so great. *sigh*

Seeing as you admitted to not having seen Prince Caspian, I feel I should be allowed to admit that I haven't read The Silver Chair. At least, I don't think I have. I may have read all the books when I was little, but I don't remember, and a couple of years ago I decided to read them all (or reread them all?) but I never got to The Silver Chair. HOWEVER it is lying beside my bed right now and I'm considering it. I wanna know the story if they do end up making the movie. WHICH OH GOD I HOPE THEY DO. We just have to see Dawn Treader like a hundred times so they have enough support.

...D'you suppose the actress they get to play Jill Pole...d'you suppose we'll start shipping her with Will P? And whichever other cast members she happens to meet? And the whole fandom will just grow and grow? IT SEEMS POSSIBLE.

[starsimpulse.livejournal.com]

EPIC POSTS ARE EPIC.

omg, THAT PICTURE OF BEN AND SKANDAR. unf, to the extreme. THEY ARE BOTH JUST SO ATTRACTIVE. i find each of them just as attractive as the other, and i feel like i need to like congratulate them on their hotness or something. SKANDAR, CONGRATULATIONS ON GROWING UP INTO SUCH A HOTASS. BEN, CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING SUCH A FUCKING HOTASS. WELL DONE.

Georgie Henley: Hello. Nice Jacket.
Will Poulter: Thanks. Nice Dress.

just, god, THEY ARE THE BEST. i really want them to be secretly dating. CAN THEY JUST BE SECRETLY DATING, PLEASE? i feel like this is all secret smiles, and kind of naughty and seasoned and comfortable like this is the kind of thing they would say if they were in a secret relationship. or married. I WANT THEM GET MARRIED SO BADLY. and be in a secret relationship right now. (except i just realized that will is almost 18? ACK. why is everyone so old? actually, georgie, WHY ARE YOU SO YOUNG? you ruin everything, pretty much.)

will wanted to get ben's autograph. WILL WANTED TO GET BEN'S AUTOGRAPH! every time i think he can't get more adorable, he does. how does he even?

so I turned to Ben and asked that when he hit me if he could do it like a man this time. Then he hit me so hard, there was a loud thud.

okay, i'm going to leave the "he hit me so hard" thing alone, but i just have this image in my mind of skandar turning to ben all condescending, and ben being all, "fuck that. i'll show you" and idk, something sexy.

AND ANDREW LETTING SKANDAR DRIVE HIS CAR! HEARTS IN MY EYES. he just loves them so much.

re: skandar/ben sword fight. my favorite thing about it is in other interviews ben has been so like, protective and really tried to write it off and say that it totally wasn't a big deal when it obviously kind of was and skandar hit him hard enough to bruise (homg). but seriously, bruises. BRUISES. where is the fic?

AND OMG WILL AND SKANDAR ARE BEST FRIENDS AND HE MEETS UP QUITE OFTEN WITH HIM AND HIS FAMILY AND HE WANTS THEM TO MAKE SILVER CHAIR ENTIRELY FOR HIS SAKE! it's so weird, it's like we love will almost as much as they all do. THEY ARE JUST SO FOND OF HIM.

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

LOL CONGRATULATIONS ON THE HOTNESS. YES.

I want them to be secretly dating toooo. It's weird, because it was only recently that the vibe they were giving off was more 'secretly crushing on each other and don't want the other one to know', but now it definitely seems more seasoned-and-comfortable like you say. MARRIED. Oh god, though, is Will seriously nearly 18? OH GOD, NEXT MONTH. DAMMIT, EVERYBODY. I always felt that Georgie/Will P. was like, THE acceptable ship that no one would be able to find anything to object to about, but now in a month it's gonna be like statutory rape. Georgieee please age faster than everyone else kthx.

I KNOW. I WAS SO CHARMED BY THAT STORY. Like, he was going to be WORKING with him! And he wanted his autograph! And I can just imagine Ben being all charmed by his adorableness too, and just being like "Will Poulter, right?" and Will being like :O *fumble* *blush* *drops pen* THEY ARE CUTE.

Ooooh, that is sexy. Especially if it was after the whole swordfight debacle (why do I keep calling things debacles), because it'd be sort of like, on some level he wanted to get ~revenge.

HE DOES. I am having SUCH an Andrew...thing, at the moment. And part of it is how I've always felt but stronger, just that whole surrogate-Dad thing and how sweet his relationship with each of them is, and then also on some level it's that deep dark curiosity to see someone corrupt it in fic. YOU KNOW ME.

You are so right. Ben always tries to be like "yeah, it wasn't so bad, it got blown out of proportion, we were filming again like a minute later", and whenever Skandar tells it it sounds terrible. And I don't know who to believe because Skandar's obviously influenced by his own guilt, and Ben's obviously trying to lessen that guilt. BUT BRUISES. BRUISES. Need fic.

Lol I think everybody loves Will the same amount, it's like the love just spreads. But that is actually the cutest, that he goes round and meets up with him AND HIS FAMILY. That's so intimate, idk! For some reason I didn't expect them to get THAT close. BUT I APPROVE OF IT.

[moogle62.livejournal.com]

BACK AGAIN. Also I want fic of these things:

- Skandar: My favourite scenes to watch on screen were most definitely my least favourite to actually film! For instance the sword fight with Ben because what happened was…I stabbed him a couple of times. It was a horrible feeling! One of the worst days of my life! The first time I stabbed him in the leg, the blades had a metal core but a rubber exterior so you're not going to maim anybody but the speed we were going at means they can give you some nasty bruises. Then I hit him in the cheek and I was mortified because a centimetre the wrong way and I might have got him in the eye….Then I got him in the lip and I remember the moment it happened he screamed out and he was crouched over. I just thought 'oh my God' and looked around at everybody and they were all completely appalled and one of the stunt men was actually shaking his head at me! - THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR I HAVE TO SAY.

- She said: "I had just flown into Australia from England two days earlier. I was jet-lagged, had an ear infection and was coughing underwater. It was my birthday as well."
When she fainted, Georgie was taken to hospital. She said: "There was a panic. They had to get oxygen for me. In hospital they checked I hadn't swallowed any water or anything. When I came back to the studio, they had a huge birthday cake and everyone was there.": this too, because of how worried I imagine Skandar and Will P being.

- I turned to Ben and asked that when he hit me if he could do it like a man this time. Then he hit me so hard, there was a loud thud. - and this! this could go in with the first one, and if I had anything about me I would write it but I am too busy trying to think of a plausible scenario in which Caspian could cry so YOU HAVE TO WRITE THESE FICS. DO IIIIIIIT.

...

this comment reveals far too much of the h/c LUNACY I try to keep battened down at all times, but apparently this fandom brings it out more than others? I AM SURE YOU DON'T MIND THOUGH, RIGHT?

{also, apologies for the comment spam - I think you are the only person on my flist who is in the Narnia/Narnia RPF fandom and so you are basically getting ALL my flail)

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

I AM GLAD TO BE GETTING ALL YOUR FLAIL, I FEEL SPECIAL. :3 DON'T WORRY.

I ALSO ENJOY THAT ALL OF YOUR DESIRES ARE RELATED TO CAST MEMBERS BEING INJURED. WE ALL HAVE OUR KINKS. I do understand that though, I'm weirdly obsessed with the whole swordfighting debacle and how they felt and what happened afterwards and HOW SKANDAR GAVE HIM BRUISES and how Ben tries to gloss over the whole thing now. Probably, when I write Ben/Skandar, it will be based around all this accidentally-injuring-each-other business, so do not fear.

DID YOU SEE THE VIDEO OF BEN TALKING ABOUT THE VARIOUS WAYS GEORGIE GOT HURT ON SET. BECAUSE THAT WILL PROBABLY GIVE YOU EVEN MORE IDEAS.

[moogle62.livejournal.com]

Probably, when I write Ben/Skandar, it will be based around all this accidentally-injuring-each-other business, so do not fear: WHY ARE YOU WRITING THINGS THAT AREN'T THIS? WRITE THIS NOW.

ARE YOU WRITING IT YET?

Here's a funny story for you: when I was little, like, 3-ish, I used to ask my mum to make up stories with my favourite book characters in, and I used to want them all to have tummy aches all the time. H/C LUNATIC FROM AN EARLY AGE, for srs, I am so ridic.

FIRST THING THAT COMES INTO YOUR HEAD: WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST FIC KINK?

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

I AM NOT. *hangs head* I SHOULD. BUT I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF. And I've already started the Skandar/Georgie/Will P., and the Skandar/Tilda, and I feel like if I start something else I might have a breakdown.

BUT I ALSO SORT OF WANT TO. SO. THERE'S THAT.

Omg that is really weirdly adorable, ahaha aww.

The first thing that came into my head was a sort of pathetic "I don't knoooow" but now that I think about it, I guess probably some form of BDSM. Which is weird because that still feels like a pretty recent kink and not necessarily a big deal, and I'm not really into the whole whips and chains and leather deal, but if there's a d/s dynamic, however subtle, or someone enjoying pain of some kind or something...yeah. That.

WHICH IS PROBABLY WHY I LOVED THAT BEN/SKANDAR FIC YOU WROTE WAY BACK IN THE DAY. It's weird actually because I think that was even before I'd fully realised my d/s kink. IT'S ALL MAKING SENSE NOW.

[moogle62.livejournal.com]

PLEEEEEEEEEASE WRITE THE BEN/SKANDAR THING

PLEEEEEEEASE

I AM CLEARLY NOT ABOVE SHAMEFUL AND RIDIC BEGGING. OR PUPPY EYES.

Although I have to say I am v excited to read anything you do write. How do you make the words so good, etc etc etc.

I haven't written a Ben/Skandar thing! Point me towards whoever DID write though, because Y PLZ. The d/s dynamic is always a good one. I have to say h/c is almost certainly my biggest fic kink. NO RLY, you say? I know, I'm so subtle.

BRB GOING TO READ THAT FIC YOU JUST POSTED \0/

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

OH DAMMIT YOU DIDN'T. Forgive me, I am totally aware of who you are, I'm just really tired and my brain is addled from Ben/Georgie porn. NOW I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT FIC I'M ACTUALLY TALKING ABOUT. DID IT EVEN EXIST? I need sleep. I may have to get back to you on that.

AND OKAY YES I WILL WRITE THE BEN/SKANDAR THING

[moogle62.livejournal.com]

AND OKAY YES I WILL WRITE THE BEN/SKANDAR THING

VICTORY! SUCCESS! A WIN FOR THE PUPPY EYES!

What I was going to ask before I got sidetracked by my subtle fic-encouraging technique up there was this: HALP I wish to write a fic but since I wrote that big bang in the summer my brain has literally just made car backfiring noises at me every time I've tried, so, er, give me a prompt? And I will write it? I'm trying to do a Lucy/Caspian thing but then I keep ending up with Ben/Skandar with a dash of Skandar/Will, sort of about how the dynamic on set changes when Will isn't there but Ben is and how it mirrors Edmund in the movies, where he was always the second king of Narnia and now finally he's come back without Peter and he STILL isn't the one in control, and, like, in the movie this is the part of Edmund that's always slightly pulling towards Jadis but in real life it turns into a sort of hero worship/jealousy/crush on Ben.

LONGEST/MOST STUPID SENTENCE EVER TROLOLO.

[likecharity.livejournal.com]

WELL THAT SOUNDS REALLY GOOD TO ME, IDK. HERO WORSHIP/JEALOUSY/CRUSH YES PLEASE. I do like that description of how it mirrors Edmund in the movies. WHAT IS WITH US AND OUR SKANDAR-EDMUND MIRRORING IDEAS. That does make a lot of sense though and would probably be how Skandar would feel, because I'm sure no one would be treating him like a kid on set anymore but Ben would definitely be the Eldest and maybe try take on the big brother role that Will had, and Skandar would resent that, and then also get all confused about Ben taking on Will's role, and feelings would get mixed-up and complicated and delicious.

I am apparently not good at prompts right now. BUT YOUR IDEA IS A GOOD ONE ON ITS OWN.

I could def go for some Lucy/crying!Caspian though. Or anyone/crying!Caspian. Or anyone/crying!Ben, basically, let's be real here.

If the Ben/Skandar thing also included crying!Ben, I think I might combust. I mean, I would scrape myself back up from the ashes to leave you some mental comment or other, don't worry, but first there would be conflagration.

I HAVEN'T FINISHED YOUR BEN/GEORGIE YET, I AM DOING LIKE THREE THINGS AT ONCE BUT I AM ENJOYING IT SO FAR.

ALL THIS REPLYING-TO-COMMENTS BUSINESS PROBABLY ISN'T HELPING YOU FOCUS ON IT. SORRY ABOUT THAT.

Oh god crying!Ben in that fic. GOING OFF TO HIS TRAILER FOR SOME PRIVACY, BUT SKANDAR COMES AFTER HIM AND FINDS HIM CRYING. And it's not that it really hurts THAT much only it really kind of does and he doesn't want anyone to know because he doesn't want to make Skandar feel even worse. And he's all stressed about things anyway and it all just sort of builds up and--

YEAH SO I COULD SEE THIS BEING WRITTEN.

Also o hai icon.
