The Difference Between The Narnia Fandom And Other Fandoms

The difference between the Narnia fandom and other fandoms

I just spent a little time going through all of my fandoms posts in social media and i just realized something which is actually really ironic.

I noticed that there is a specific area in which narnia fans stand out in comparison to fans of other fandoms.

Books such as the Divergent trilogy, the Hunger games trilogy, the Maze Runner, City of Bones and even Harry Potter are known for their saddening deaths of beloved fictional characters. All over the internet you can find posts where people get upset about Sirius Black’s death or about Finnicks and Prim Everdeen’s death (they also really terrify me) for example. People are complaining that their favourite characters in books always face a tragic end but this is exactly the point where Narnia fans react so differently:

In terms of characters that die throughout the book, the chronicles of narnia definitely takes the lead. The characters from all the seven books die except for only one person, Susan Pevensie. Some characters have died of old age while others face a tragic death. Peter, Edmund, Lucy, Jill and Eustace were young when they died in a train wreck. Outsiders may think that this is the controverse spot of our fandom but in truth we are not frustrated about everyone dying in the series.

We are only sad when we talk about Susan’s fate in the Chronicles of Narnia. It sounds really ironic but we are literally sad and terrified that Susan Pevensie got to live because now she is left alone by herself, living without her family. This is what truly makes everyone of the narnian fandom frustrated. We all wish that Susan would have died alongside her siblings but instead she had to cope with losing her whole family.

The Chronicles of Narnia is a series that doesn’t associate death with a saddening event. The last book shows us that living can be worse than being dead.

Something politically or socially crappy: *happens*

Me: This would never happen in Narnia under the rule of King Peter the Magnificent, Queen Susan the Gentle, King Edmund the Just and Queen Lucy the Valiant or under Caspian X

I want a Netflix original series based on The Chronicles of Narnia that goes through the series start to finish with cameos from the old cast either reprising their roles or in bit roles. I tweeted Netflix about my idea and messaged them on Facebook, but since I’m a persistent little punk and don’t think I’m the only one who would want a series like this, I wonder if any of you would also tweet Netflix about the idea, or at least reblog this post so others can see it. The hope is that if enough people ask for it, maybe they’ll at least respond to the idea.

10 Hardships That Comes With Being a Jason Todd Fangirl

1. “Dick Grayson is better”

No ok fuck you, each of them have their strengths and weaknesses and we love Jason because he deserves love.

2. No one understands your obsession with thicc thighs.

I mean honestly. LOOK

Any lover of Arkham Knight or Dexter Soys Jason would agree that boii those thighs thicc which leads to the next one

3. No one understands your obsession with Dexter Soy’s obsession with Jason.

We can all agree that Dexter Soy is Jasons number 1 fangirl

4. People reminding you that fans were the ones who killed Jason

5. No one understands your crowbar jokes. Don’t lie to yourself, I know you make them.

We’re all guilty of making those jokes, hun.

6. “Why is he called Red Hood when he wears a red helmet?”

Ugh. Just don’t okay.

7. “Isn’t he like, the bad guy?”

Yes, Sharon, he is the trigger happy anti-hero, and that’s what makes him so much more interesting.

8. “but he was the worst robin”…….. I will stab you.

9. People see the Red Hood logos you put as your lockscreen and go “Oh hey, you like Batman?”

10. And last but most definitely the hardest hardship to ever hard the ships, when no one around you knows who Jason Todd is. All you can do is cry in silence as you love this wonderful boy alone.

Look at him. What’s there not to love?
