I had no internet access for a little while because I moved house (yeah...again), and then went to visit my sister for Thanksgiving. And then I came back and got online and there were more Narnia things. :D And the premiere is tomorrow and it's all so exciting and I missed this fandom so much. ♥



( Pictures of Georgie being pretty at the British Academy Children's Awards. )

( Also some random extras of Georgie and Will P. from that ice palace thing. )

( Aaaand a couple of video featurette thingies on the movie. )

Also, I'm not a fan of the way Photobucket looks now. Putting this together took me longer than it should have. I hate it when websites change perfectly functional layouts for no apparent reason and then everything's all hard to find. >:( I think maybe I just dislike change in general.

Georgie and Will P. were interviewed at some kind of ice palace thing in L.A. yesterday. The video is like 11 minutes long but really cute and interesting.

Also I feel I should draw attention to the fact that GEORGIE IS WEARING A FRILLY SHIRT WITH SWANS ON IT. I actually quite like it, but it seems like the kind of thing Will (The First) would pick out. Anyway, though. The interview is kinda hard to hear in parts but there is a great transcript here at NarniaFans.com.



They are really adorable together. I just...it's weird, there's no instant OMG CRAZY CHEMISTRY feeling you get when you see them together, but every now and then there's this little moment which makes me feel like they're both secretly crushing on each other and not wanting to give it away. You know when you're into someone and you're sort of hyper-aware of little things you do?

First of all I love how Will sort of gestures to let Georgie be the first to answer the first question, aww (0:40). I also enjoy Will's mixing his metaphors when he's asked what it was like joining the group (question at 1:30)—he says they made him feel 'really welcome, like a house on fire', ahaha aww. And I think we all KNEW they'd get on well but it's so nice to have it confirmed. ♥

4:15 - Georgie teases Will for apologising all the time when he'd mess up at the beginning of filming. So cute! Her imitation of him and how she says it was so sweet! Awww. And when they talk about him being the new guy again and she says "Loved it though," and he pats her shoulder and says "You don't have to say that."

I like what they say about the way the films sort of expand on stuff that's only touched on in the books. I think that's true, and it's one of the reasons I like the films more.

LOL the best bit is at 8:12 when Georgie's asked which version of Lucy she enjoyed playing more. She says Lucy was cute in the first film, "I mean, I was quite cute back then," and Will pats her again, and then she gets all embarrassed. And Will says "Don't be silly," and then looks thoughtful and says, "It's true." Awwwwww HOW ARE THEY SO ADORABLE I CAN'T TAKE IT. And the interviewer says her fans would disagree and say she's just as cute now (truth!) and Will is like "There you go!"

And then at 10:55, Georgie talks about the comedy aspect of the film and she punches Will's shoulder all playfully when she says how hilarious he is. And then at the end of the interview they all high-five, ahaha. THIS IS HOW GEORGIE HENLEY ENDS INTERVIEWS, YOU GUYS. How can you not love her.

And finally, if you are craving fic, may I recommend merae's fantastic go at the Drabble Meme? There's a whole bunch of pairings and it's just great. ♥

YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR WRITERS' BLOCK?

THIS:

1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.
2. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.
3. Write a drabble related to each song that plays.
You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble
You start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards!
4. Do ten of these, then post them.

Even when you're terrible at drabbles.

Title: Drabble Meme #2
Author: likecharity
Pairing: Ben/Georgie, Will/Skandar, Anna/Georgie, Ben/Anna, Skandar/Will P, and gen
Rating: It varies, but up to about PG-13
Warnings: Real person slash, het and femslash. D/s in one, voyeurism in one...vampirism in another?
A/N: Just an attempt to break my writers' block, using the fandom I'm most familiar with. :) I pretty much followed the rules apart from about a week's break in between the 8th and 9th drabbles, just because I got totally stumped. Also, each drabble has a link to download the song it was inspired by.

( I sort of love being let loose on this fandom and all its possibilities. )

!!!
Alsooo people have probably seen these by now but they need to be squee'd about: THREE NEW CLIPS.

( & screencaps taken from skandar.net )

To sum up, my interest in this movie continues to be immensely shallow.

Also I've been wanting to change my moodtheme for a while now, but...this pic for 'excited' is just so appropriate I'm not sure I can part with it.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A POST OF NARNIA-RANDOMNESS.

First of all, I saw Dorian Gray last night with the bff. I had kind of low expectations after reading thisissirius and th_esaurus's posts about it, haha, but...it was really pretty good. The sex scenes were pretty cheesy and there were a lot of bits where we laughed when we probably weren't supposed to, but all in all, I enjoyed it. I was really impressed with Ben, too! I think he struggles with crying and with looking scared sometimes, but wow, he's a better actor than Prince Caspian suggests (not that he was TERRIBLE in that, obvs).

( Not particularly spoilery, but just in case. )

And also, it made me want to write more Ben fic. I'm still not into Will/Ben but I think I'm of the opinion that there needs to be more Ben/Skandar in the world. And I'm definitely re-reading hedonisticated's Ben/Colin Firth fic ASAP. (I actually remembered it halfway through the movie and got very excited at the prospect of rereading it. Because I'm lame.)

ALSO, last night while I was getting ready to go out, AN ADVERT FOR SCHOOL OF COMEDY CAME ON E4. Will P. on my TV screen?? HOORAY. I hunted down clips of that show on Youtube shortly after finding out who Will was, but then I totally forgot about it. So I'm excited about this. And feel oddly proud of him.

Aaaand, new Anna pictures! GORGEOUS AS ALWAYS. ♥


( More. )

Also, I went to see 500 Days of Summer last weekend. I really, really loved it. I sort of knew I would, because I'm madly in love with Zooey and JGL and have been waiting for it for ages, but it totally lived up to my expectations. I definitely DID NOT EXPECT for Summer to be QUITE so much of a heartless bitch, so that was painful, and Sally was complaining about how it doesn't have a happy ending, but honestly, I quite liked that. It's unusual and it fit with the movie--it would have seemed boring and kind of hypocritical if it had ended happily. I kind of want to go see it again just because I could watch those two making out on the big screen forever, pretty much. ♥

Finally, I once again apologise for being distant lately and for the lack of fic. Actually, in the past week I've really had the urge to write again, but unfortunately my schoolwork has arrived now and I also seem to have a social life at the moment. Which is weird. I'm going to see Simon Amstell doing stand-up tonight!!! But yes, so I'm going to try harder to get things in order. I really miss all of you guys. *hugs entire flist*

THESE ARE LIKE THE WORST PICTURES IN THE WORLD BUT I JUST FLAILED SO HARD I NEARLY SPRAINED SOMETHING.





GEORGIE! WILL P.! TOGETHER!

I need Georgie/Will P. Dawn Treader set!fic where they're all young and awkward and adorable and crushing on each other. And Ben and Skandar tease them like crazy. And they make out when Georgie's in boys' clothes like she is here. IDK WHY.

Edit: LMAO I HAD NOT SEEN MY 'EXCITED' MOOD PICTURE BEFORE NOW. IT'S SO APPROPRIATE.

Edit #2: Some more squee!

Something that made me happy today: WATCHING SON OF RAMBOW. It was so adorable and heartwarming and just generally lovely. ♥ You guys should all watch it! I am totally convinced now that Will P. is going to make a FANTASTIC Eustace, partly because he's a great actor and partly because his character in the movie is kind of Eustace-like at the beginning, at least in the sense that he's a bit of a wanker.

ALSO RANDOM ED WESTWICK WAS RANDOM. I seriously was like "But...Chuck Bass? What?" every time he was on screen, which I realise is ridiculous, because you know, he is British and he did do other things before Gossip Girl, but still, it was bizarre. Yet another one of those fandom collisions.

Aw, I don't know, I just feel all happy now, it was such a sweet movie. And I kept thinking about how Georgie said she'd watched it. And now I really really really need Dawn Treader to start filming ASAP. I'm just so excited for Will P. to become a part of the cast, idek.

ALSO LOL WHILE I WAS WRITING THIS I GOT A COMMENT FROM starsimpulse ALERTING ME TO THIS ARTICLE, AND JUST -- I HAVE NO WORDS. WTF? OMG THIS WILL BE MADNESS IF IT HAPPENS. LOL OH GOD. D:

Happy birthday Ben Barnes...you big weirdo.

I don't actually have any news, so idk why I'm updating. I'm just bored. I keep trying to write, and failing, due to various distractions. Like how we got three tons of gravel delivered yesterday and had to spend hours spreading it out over the driveway with rakes and stuff. Even when I wasn't helping out (...which was admittedly most of the time, I have no arm muscles) I couldn't write, because it was so noisy. I don't know what was wrong with the gravel we had before, my mother is a madwoman.

The Skandar hand porn post over at narnia_dazzle nearly killed me, omfg. This is going to make me sound ridiculous, but there are literally some parts of that boy that I can't look at for too long otherwise like, idk, the strength of my attraction scares me. Like his eyes. I still can't look at his eyes for very long. THEY'RE TOO AMAZING, OKAY.

Oh, I have some recs! First of all, dee_lirious wrote an absolutely incredible Will/Skandar fic for me called Untouched. Her writing is REALLY amazing, you guys. Read it. And lettersandliars wrote me Skandar/Anna, it's called The Still Point of the Turning World and it is so perfectly Skandar and Anna that I kind of wanted to cry. She also wrote a Susan/Lucy called Nevernever which is pretty much everything I have ever wanted from that pairing and I'm still sort of in awe of it. You're one of my favourite writers in this fandom, bb. ♥

Writing has started for teastaintheory!!! I am so excited. I just realised that I never told you guys to join, but I did post an entry about it in several Narnia communities, so probably everyone who's interested has joined already. But omfg, we have 70 members. 71 watchers. I told Sissi the other day that I'd probably die if it went up to over 50. I'm just kind of in shock, really.

Haha also, I saw a sign today that said 'Poulter' on it, and I was like "Heyyy, Poulter!" and my Mum was like "...what?". And it reminded me of something I've been meaning to say on here for a while -- that I'm so glad, in a weird way, that the Narnia fandom has taken so much interest in Will Poulter so far in advance of him actually doing anything. I mean, people ship him! With Georgie! With Ben! HE MAY NOT EVEN HAVE MET THEM YET. It's UTTERLY INSANE and I love it, I really do. Narnia fandom, you are so full of creepy awesome.

EDIT: Btw, I'm going to be away from this Friday afternoon until some time on Monday. I know I said I wasn't going away again, but that's because I THOUGHT I was only going to be away on Saturday and Sunday and it wouldn't count. It's my Granny's birthday party and I am still totally confused about why we have to be there for basically four days when the party itself is only a few hours on the Saturday. :/
