i'm not trying to wake you up

I'm not even really sure what this post is for, I just sort of feel like making one? It's been a while. I feel like I've been really ~absent, actually, because I went on holiday and I didn't have much time online because I was too busy being lost in the Scottish countryside and chasing rogue chickens and getting addicted to Bananagrams and playing 'Cow' (a game in which you shout "cow!" when you see a cow). Action-packed vacation, I know. Anyway ever since I've been back I've felt sort of overwhelmed by the internet? And I feel all out of practice with writing, even though it really hasn't been that long? But I'm working on a short little something at the moment and hopefully it'll be finished really soon. :)

OH AND ALSO, LJ is doing this super weird thing where it basically refuses to use the icons I want it to use? Like, I'll select one, and it'll be like NOPE and default to my Anton Yelchin one instead. IDK WHY, I think it's just a glitch, but yeah, if I respond to any of your comments with an Anton Yelchin icon even when it has no relevance whatsoever...that'll be why. I even tried deleting all my icons and re-uploading them and IT DIDN'T WORK. And also I have a suspicion that anyone who tracks my journal might have been notified about that, so uh, sincere apologies if you got a ridiculous amount of messages just because I was obsessively trying to sort this out.

Apparently I really don't have anything interesting to say here but I wanted to reassure you guys that I am still alive and like, around, if anybody wants to talk? I do get sort of scared by this fandom every now and then because of my social anxiety and it can be hard to deal with and some days I'm just like WOW I CAN'T, but for the most part things are still awesome. ♥

I'm gonna finish this off by recommending that you listen to Ed Sheeran's cover of 'Pony' by Ginuwine, and look at this picture of a guinea pig. But not at the same time. That might be a bit weird.

So this is a thing that Ben said:

Will things change between the Pevensie children and Caspian?
Ben: The Pevensies are a very tight group and that doesn't change. But now I play the role of big brother/uncle. In fact, in real life their Mums (Georgie's, Skandar's and Will P.'s) call me "Uncle Ben" because if someone wants to go to a water park or the like, it's me who has to take them. It's a good work atmosphere.

That's one of those things that SHOULD make all the Ben shipping feel incredibly creepy, but somehow it doesn't. For me, anyway. How is it that I can like his uncle role and still want to write about him having sex with them all? NARNIA CAST, YOUR INCESTUOUS FAMILY DYNAMIC IS SO CONFUSING SOMETIMES. I feel like I need a 'ben/everyone' tag, what even, how did this happen?

There isn't much new stuff around at the moment, so I think we should take a look at some old quotes from LWW and Prince Caspian times instead. Just because I found them and hadn't read some of them before, and wanted to share.

( Under the cut. )

OKAY ANYWAY BACK TO WRITING FIC. Not entirely sure what the point of this post was. I leave you with a gif of Ben and Will failing at subtlety:

Am I the only one who didn't know that Andrew Adamson is really religious?

Like, I seriously don't know if I'm really stupid and somehow managed to miss that, or if it's just never been mentioned before. From a recent Will interview:

Spielfilm.de: Narnia is based on Christian motivation and Andrew Adamson is very religious. Do you noticed that on set?

William: Yes, he took the whole thing very personal, at the first film more than on the second. I think, at the second he overdid himself a little bit. I really try to express it as nice as possible, because I think he is a genius. But I remember, how he, even at lunch, sat in front of a few notebooks to read drafts and give his blessing to it. He was always so busy, that it was hard for us to get into his world.

I really had no idea.

You can read the whole interview at wmoseley.com. I can't link directly for some reason. It's been translated from German, btw, that's why it reads the way it does, haha. It's quite interesting, though, pretty detailed. I didn't know Anna failed her driving test three times and still hasn't got her license, aww. I didn't know Will still lives with his parents, either! I love that he calls himself a 'glamorous homeless person'. XD

In other news, I have this horrible urge to write Zooey Deschanel/Katy Perry. I WISH I WAS KIDDING. Idek why. Maybe it's because they look so similar?



Which I actually find really annoying, because I adore Zooey, and, well, you know how I feel about Katy Perry. So this'd be a weird way of dealing with it. Also, I found out today that they have actually met! Which is strange. I bet Zooey was all "stop trying to be me, bitch."

Incidentally, this song I'm listening to would go pretty well with the fic, at least from the Katy Perry standpoint.

Lol @ how pointless this post is.
