hardparadeYOU GUYS. YOU GUYS. A VIDEO OF BEN TALKING ABOUT GEORGIE GROWING UP. THIS IS RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS.
"Yeah, it's amazing, she was a littleāI mean, I didn't see her when she was a little, little girl doing LWW, but she was still just a little girl, and now she's, like, (SIGNIFICANT LOOK) really sort of growing into a woman. She came to see my play, actually, in the West End (stammers) last night, and then she was there sort of clapping at the end all proud, and it was...it was really sweet." HE ALMOST LOOKS SORT OF TEARY-EYED FOR A SECOND THERE. OMG. AND SHE SAW THE PLAYYY. I just. Shipshipship. ANALYSE THIS WITH ME, PLEASE.
Ben talking about Georgie's various injuries on set. Guys, she slipped on that platform thing when they were in the water and he saaaaved her. "Her Mum was like (claps) THANK YOU! And I was like, no worries. (Salutes) That's what I'm here for." AWWW. OH MY HEART. And oh my god I don't even know but he's so sort of gushing and at the same time shifty when he talks about her. His cute little head-dip when the interviewer says "she's a liability, isn't she, that girl?" and how impressed he was with her doing her stunts, and that little eye-flicker when he says "she does brilliantly." Also he says she was thirteen but wasn't she only thirteen on set for like, a week or two? I FEEL LIKE HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT HER AGE AT ALL EVER.
This is from the premiere, and wowww the voiceover could not be more annoying. But, mistletoe! WILL WANTS TO KISS HIS MUM AND BEN WANTS TO KISS SIMON COWELL. OF COURSE. And, omg, Georgie fancies Simon Cowell! THEY BOTH TOTALLY WATCH THE X FACTOR TOGETHER AND CRUSH ON HIM. WHICH IS GROSS TO ME AND YET CUTE AT THE SAME TIME. Lol Ben/Georgie/Simon Cowell??
The cast are asked what the first roles they ever played were. And omg, their answers are perfect, and just...exactly what you would expect. Ben and Georgie's were totally bizarre (rockstar alien and Russian granny? OF COURSE), and Will and Anna had the lead role/all the roles. And Will P. had a small, unassuming part. IDK WHERE SKANDAR IS IN THIS THOUGH.
I realise this is more than a minute of watermarked, indistinct discussion, but. I found it weirdly sweet. You can make out that they're talking about Ben's play, and Liam is saying he'll come and see it. CUTE.
Skandar and Georgie interview. 0:44 is cute, Skandar misses horseriding awww.
Lol, Georgie lists like a million reasons people should go see the movie, and Skandar's like "She'll go on all day if you let her."
Aww, talking about the goodbye scenes and how they weren't hard to shoot (they filmed them only two months in), but Skandar says it was tougher watching them back at the premiere. SADFACE.
OH MY GOD. "Do you see each other as being siblings?" THEIR REACTIONS. THEIR REACTIONS. I know that then they say they do, but seriously, their immediate reactions...Georgie's sly little smile and Skandar sort of chuckling to himself. So not subtle, you guys. So not.
I'm posting this not so much because of what they're saying, but their mirrored body language and the way they sort of lean into each other = cute.
"No one could be miserable around Will [P]. No matter how hard we tried." ♥

Date: 2010-12-11 10:27 pm (UTC)No, that's what I thought/meant about the liability bit too! The way he dips his head and looks all serious for a second like he disagrees. It's sweet, because it is like he's defending her.
Lol it is quite creepy, I can't tell if the camera just happened to be on them or if someone was filming their conversation on purpose.
THEY DO BREED RPF. It's like, the most RPF-y fandom ever. I started out shipping Peter/Edmund, and still do, but Will/Skandar and all the other real person pairings have totally taken over that.
HE'S NINETEEN, THERE'S NO NEED TO BE ASHAMED. :P
They totally do that looking-looking away thing ALL THE TIME. It's like they never really want to meet each other's eyes for more than a split second. That's interesting.
LOL I'm not going to hate you. I actually think his laugh is a little weird in these videos and I noticed it, it's like a kind of awkward laugh because the situation isn't totally comfortable. And I can't think what it sounds like usually so idk, I guess I'm indifferent. XD
Oooh, maybe he's getting jealous.

I spaz attacked over this whole post (Part 1)
Date: 2010-12-12 01:47 am (UTC)MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE
YESSSSSSSSSSS
What did I tell you? IT'S HAPPENING. SORT OF.
and then she was there sort of clapping at the end all proud, and it was...it was really sweet.
...This is like something we would write in a fic, this situation happening, and HIS FEELINGS ON IT.
OUR DREAMS. THEY ARE COMING TRUE GLORIOUSLY.
And ohmygod you are right about him almost crying. He sniffs as if trying not to get emotional. It is the same thing I have seen dudes around me do any time they don't want to cry! Dammit, this is not tinhatter-ous analyzation. That was his real reaction! Oh my heart just keep breaking it binbons holy shizz
I think when he talks about her being "thirteen", he's referencing the PC days of filming, not the VoDT ones.
Also, I HAVEN'T SEEN NARNIA YET. OR HARRY POTTER. I HAVE BEEN SO BUSY LATELY IT SUCKS.
his speech capability disintegrates when the interviewer says "liability" in what could be seen as a suggestive tone
i tell you, my god, sometimes i really do wonder. It's possible! no it's probable. in the future anyway. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW.Maeve, One and Only ~Official Narnia Psychic~ Since 2010. It will have a photo of Aslan on it. Or possibly Ben and Georgie. Or just the whole cast. OR C. S. LEWIS. YES. C. S. LEWIS.
...I think I ought to make that shirt now. It would be hella fun to wear! Especially when people asked questions, and I'd just mysteriously say, "Ah, it's a fan thing," and turn my head and switch subjects.
Video #2: The eye shift when he says "brilliantly". O Lawd. Someone get me some Ritalin.
Video #3: AWWW WILL'S MUM. "Angelic Ben Barnes" LOLOL. And I think he was just joking about the Simon Cowell bit, ahah.
Video #4: The camera totally gave Georgie the once-over, oh man. I know they do that all the time, BUT THIS IS GEORGIE!! WHAAAAT
Will P.'s eyebrows at 0:21 whoa that face
I LOVE WILL'S HAIR. HATERS GONNA HATE. I LOVE IT.
0:58 Anna touching her lip. So classy! I like this a lot.
I want to see Ben and Georgie spontaneously play silly costume kid dress-up together in Georgie's attic now. With all her and her sisters' old dress-up clothes, their grandma's hats, fur coats from God knows when, etc etc etc. BEN WOULD PUT ON A GRANNY APRON AND DO A LITTLE HIPPY SHAKE DANCE AND SPIN AROUND, SINGING FALSETTO. GEORGIE WOULD CRACK UP IN LAUGHTER ON THE FLOOR.
Video #5: I like to see Liam being all fatherly towards the rest of the cast. It's sweet and touching. FORGET THAT LORD LIAM WHATSOEVER-FACE/20s GEORGIE, OKAY??? CREEPS ME THE HECK OUT ://///
ALSO, interesting tidbit: I babysit this little twelve year old girl who likes the Narnia books/movies (even the BBC's, which she has on DVD ā I watched it for the first time at her house). And since she knows I like Narnia, she's been talking lately about how excited she is for VoDT... a LOT. And we have little conversations about it. I accidentally dropped too much about the actors, I guess, because last week she was all "Where do you find out about the Narnia actors?? I looked online and read profiles but I couldn't find their ages!"
And I was terrified, instantly, that, through Google or something, she would accidentally find LiveJournal and RPF and fricking ALL OF OUR SMUT FIC and be innocence-scarred FOREVER.
So I lamely lied and said that I couldn't remember what site I read about them on. OH GOD.
But if she ever found Narnia Dazzle (IN THE DISTANT FUTURE OH SH*T), she'd totally be a Team WillMo. Her favorite character is Peter in both the films and books, and she's mentioned this adorable little crush on Will the First a couple of times. Just, awwwwww. :3

Date: 2010-12-12 01:51 am (UTC)The comments I leave on your posts ARE LONGER THAN MY FIC JENNY. LONGER THAN MY FIC.
as opposed to what, "longer than my dick"? FORGET I SAID THATHere is the rest that wouldn't fit.
Georgie's reasons video: Her voice, I really like it! It's so melodic and sincere and innocent and Lucy-like. NIIICE ONE, NARNIA-CASTING FOLKS. WIN. Or should I say, nice one, Henley parents!
Siblings video: Maybe they DO see each other as siblings, but they're into each other as well, especially since they're not actually related, so it's - it's allowed. Sort of like a weird parallel of the way fandom sees the Pevensies.... Related, having adorable sibling time, but falling in love/getting it on as well.
And to culminate: Yeah, Ben is completely and tacitly showing his love for Georgie in that first video. I am very happy about this. :))))
Memo
Date: 2010-12-12 01:55 am (UTC)omg i just used the word "BenGeorgieness". IT WAS UNINTENTIONAL YEAH.
Re: I spaz attacked over this whole post (Part 2)
Date: 2010-12-12 12:32 pm (UTC)I'm starting to have this weird thing about Georgie's voice. I really love it. Especially how it's sounding a little bit rougher lately because I think she has a sore throat or something. PEOPLE ALWAYS SOUND SEXIER WHEN THEY HAVE SORE THROATS.
YES THIS EXACTLY. Which I couldn't explain for some reason, you did it really eloquently, lol. And that was exactly what those expressions/reactions looked like to me. Not "hahah, we so don't see each other as siblings, we're shagging!" but "hahah, yeah, we do, which is why what's really going on is so weird, and if you knew..."? Does that make sense? They have a little bit of a shifty guilty thing going on, and amusement at the question at the same time, like it has a special meaning to them that we don't know. Anyway, my favourite way of seeing the Narnia cast is that they're like a big incestuous family, so.
HE IS. He just can't hide it. It's like his eyes just light up when he talks about her.
Re: I spaz attacked over this whole post (Part 1)
Date: 2010-12-12 01:58 am (UTC)When they announce that they are dating in about five years, I am so getting a t-shirt made. Maeve, One and Only ~Official Narnia Psychic~ Since 2010. It will have a photo of Aslan on it. Or possibly Ben and Georgie. Or just the whole cast. OR C. S. LEWIS. YES. C. S. LEWIS.
...I think I ought to make that shirt now. It would be hella fun to wear! Especially when people asked questions, and I'd just mysteriously say, "Ah, it's a fan thing," and turn my head and switch subjects.
OKAY I'LL STOP SPAMMING YOU NOW :B
Re: I spaz attacked over this whole post (Part 1)
Date: 2010-12-12 12:29 pm (UTC)And thank you for not thinking I'm crazy about him seeming to get a little emotional. It's not like he's full-on tearful, but when he says "it was really sweet" his voice goes all wavery and he looks away from the interviewer. AND THEN when the interviewer is all "awwwww" and sounding totally insincere or like, belittling it, Ben goes sort of...idk, tense when he says "Yeah." IS THAT JUST MY IMAGINATION. I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT. It's like he just sort of closes up again after gushing about her like that. Idk.
Ohhh that would make sense. I thought it would be weird for him to get her age wrong, because I always imagined he'd be really aware of it, but then I thought it WOULD make sense for him to just try not to think about her age ever and end up getting confused. Either way. AND GOD DAMMIT GO SEE THE MOVIE.
HIS SPEECH CAPABILITY IS A BIT IFFY ALL OVER THESE VIDEOS. When he stammers like crazy just trying to say she came to see the play last night? IT WAS LAST NIGHT BEN, THAT SHOULD BE FRESH IN YOUR MEMORY. And you're right about the liability bit too. I can't work out if he's just focusing on defending her, like saying it's not her fault she had a few accidents because hey, she was young and doing her own stunts, or if he's just sort of taken aback by the 'liability' comment and applying it in different ways.
OH GOD I COULD ANALYSE THESE VIDEOS TO DEATH. I want more just like them, because I am greedy. But ugh I still don't think there's actually anything going on BETWEEN them, but I could see Ben having inappropriate feelings for her. Weirdly, the most probable thing in my mind is Ben having inappropriate feelings for her and NOT EVEN BEING PROPERLY AWARE OF IT. So he's just like gushing about her all the time and basically acting like a kid with a crush and wanting to spend more time with her and see her more, and then eventually it hits him and he's like OH GOD. I could just see him being that oblivious, idk, and I think I love the idea of him being the one who's head-over-heels, not her.
Narnia psychic t-shirt = yes.
Also lol I know he was joking about the Simon Cowell thing, I was too. At least, I mean, I assume he doesn't legit want to kiss Simon Cowell, but what amused me was the fact that he picked that name, considering Georgie likes him?
IS IT WEIRD THAT THAT WILL P-FACE REMINDS ME OF ANNA. BECAUSE IT DOES. I DON'T KNOW WHY.
I can't believe you love Will's hair. I DID NOT THINK THAT WAS POSSIBLE.
Omg Ben and Georgie playing dress-up THAT SHOULD NOT BE SO ADORABLE. Oh goddd they are the best, they really are. I am going all heart-eyes at that description. The thing is, IT'S SO BELIEVABLE. Like I'm starting to think besides Will and Skandar, they're the two that are best suited for each other. WHAT IS THAT?
The fatherly!Liam was the best bit about that video for sure. I love how he touches Ben's arm in a fatherly way too. And is being all supportive. And now that I'm seeing him in this light, the idea of him being like Georgie's pimp or whatever is creepy. It would have to be someone who is just naturally more creepy. LIKE TILDA, RUNNING THE BROTHEL. We need to get back to talking about that AU. :P
Oh my goddd re: babysitting story, I don't blame you, I would flip out at the idea of that happening too. I don't think the RPF is THAT easy to find, tbh, unless you're on LJ already probably, but gah keep her as far away from it as possible.
...BUT SPEAKING OF SMUT FIC. I think these Ben/Georgie videos somehow inspired me to write Ben/Georgie smut?? I'd written a tiny bit, ages ago, and just left it, and then last night I was lying in bed trying to get to sleep and then all of a sudden I was just like NOTEBOOK. BEN/GEORGIE. SMUT. And it just happened. And she's 15 in it and I feel like a terrible person but...but. I don't know, I think I need to get it out of my system.

YES. THIS. THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO READ. <33333 I have gone really wrong; I was basicles writing fic in my head all the way through the film this evening.
Re: I spaz attacked over this whole post (Part 1)
Date: 2010-12-12 11:07 pm (UTC)Also: seeing the movie twice more. Awesome. JEALOUS.
Re: I spaz attacked over this whole post (Part 1)
Date: 2010-12-12 11:24 pm (UTC)The person who finally stepped up and told him about his massive crush would obv be Tilda. She'd just be like, Ben, have you noticed that you're slightly in love with Georgie? I mention it because she's not sixteen yet and you might want to stop singing rhapsodies about her hair and her eyes and the sunshine sparkle delights of her laugh while you're in a public forum. Take it to your trailer, B-man.
AND NOW TO GET BACK MY TILDA ICONS.
Re: I spaz attacked over this whole post (Part 1)
Date: 2010-12-12 11:41 pm (UTC)Omg ahahaha that is the best. I love how in any situation, in any fic, about any pairing/threesome/orgy/whatever, Tilda can easily always be the person who knows, who won't judge, and who will quite possibly offer some advice even if it's not asked for. SHE'S MY FAVOURITE. Lmao rhapsodies and sunshine sparkle delights. BEST.

Date: 2010-12-16 04:03 am (UTC)"except without the arguments and the throwing stuff at each other and all that" :O i think it's just like, all the fic, and how in my head georgie's parents are getting divorced right now, but GEORGIE, WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? that whole video is kind of freaking me out actually. i mean they all always talk about how much of a family they are, and they're always so quick to say that, BUT THEY HAVE WEIRDLY BIZARRE REACTIONS HERE. i think you were saying somewhere about their reactions not being like "lol, we're fucking" it's more like, "we DO see each other as siblings, which is why what going on between us right now is so weird." AND YES, THAT EXACTLY. ugh, like I didn't already ship them an obscene amount.
other things i loved: them leaning into each other (<3), and georgie's voice when she says "CHRISTMAS MAGIC" and that last video, when she says "i think, yeah." I JUST LOVE THE WAY SHE SPEAKS, her voice itself, but also how she chooses her words. and actually, i super love that last video. i just love the idea of everyone (and by everyone i mean skandar and georgie and ben, obvs) being kind of super depressed that will and anna and andrew aren't there and just being generally kind of miserable and secluded but will manages to charm his way into their hearts. :)
relatedly (actually not really at all) i just saw the movie and i was surprised by how much will p. wasn't in it? i mean objectively i knew that he was going to be a dragon half the time so he obviously wasn't going to be there for that, but i was surprised by how much he was like off being horrible while the others were off being BAMF, especially when i realized that he wasn't there for like, at least half of their (ben, georgie, and skandar's) scenes together and now i just want ALL OF THE BEN/GEORGIE/SKANDAR THREESOME FIC. i guess i just didn't realize how many scenes they had just the three of them, or actually just the two of them really. ben and skandar pretty much just spent the entire movie just GLUED TOGETHER. seriously, was edmund/caspian the OTP or what?

Date: 2010-12-16 11:09 am (UTC)OMG YES I HAD THE EXACT SAME THOUGHT. Like, that is not a particularly normal idea of what families do? And if anything, the Narnia cast would sort of be MORE likely to throw stuff at each other, don't you think, than a family? I don't know. It's WEIRD. She says it so casually, like everybody's families have crazy arguments where they throw stuff, and so she feels the need to clarify that they don't. I'm glad you agree that there's something off about their reactions - and yeah, especially seeing as they're usually SO quick and casual about saying they are like a family. They just have these little smiles like they have a secret.
AWWW the idea of everyone being sad and Will P. charming his way into their hearts. ♥ AND YES, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN RE: FILM. There were moments near the beginning where I was like "WHERE IS HE?" because the three of them were just like gallivanting around and he was like, off sulking. And I didn't really expect that. It's a shame, but like you said...it opens up more possibilities for Ben/Georgie/Skandar threesomefic. Which isn't something I feel I've thought about in much detail. It happens briefly in the orgyfic though - I thought I remembered a moment between the three of them so I went back and checked, and there's a bit where Skandar is sucking Ben off and fingering Georgie at the same time. I MAY WANT MORE OF THIS SORT OF THING.
Also Edmund/Caspian was def the OTP. And it's so frustrating because it makes me want alllll the Ben/Skandar, but the only idea I actually have is a kind of h/c thing based around how they accidentally injured each other. And I don't even know where that's going. *sigh*
