Well, Cats Is Certainly Accurate To My Thoughts On Lucy. I Just Think She Prefers Big Cats. More Specifically,

Well, cats is certainly accurate to my thoughts on Lucy. I just think she prefers big cats. More specifically, she likes lions.

They all like lions, it's rather inescapable for the pevensie family, but Lucy? There's no animal she loves more. There's that indisputable connection with Aslan, and then of course, their valiant spirits.

As for Edmund, well, let's look at what we know about the character and his experiences with animals in Narnia. He probably prefers the underdogs, the ones who need justice, the ones no one will expect.

All that to say- horses. It's horses. Edmund loves horses. At least, movie Edmund does. Book Edmund? It's probably elephants, the silent giants so eager to protect, intelligent and just amongst each other.

Now, Susan.

Susan is our girl who loves house cats. Not for their connection with Aslan, no. Because they're pretty and dignified, and gentle, but they have claws and they're willing to use them.

Peter likes gorillas. They're strong, protective, dedicated to their families, and, quite simply, magnificent.

What animals are the pevensies favourites . Like do they prefer the usual cats and dogs or do they lean to the unusal types like turtles and octopuses ?

Oh, okay! Offer of hugs is still open 😁🙃

Anybody have any fic recs for the McCallisters finding out what Kevin did in the Home Alone movies?

I couldn't find any and thought I'd ask before setting to work on a post Home Alone 1 fic.

So, guess who recently discovered that Greta Gerwig (She was the director for Barbie) is in charge of the Narnia adaptation.

Yeah no we're all doomed so much for having any hope.

@narnia fans watch out...

(note, this is not against Greta Gerwig and her capabilities as a director, no, it's just looking at her work and realizing that Narnia is not her style at all)

there are literally so many reasons why we don't need a third Narnia adaptation

first of all, while they might not be the most accurate, the Disney movies are actually so good and, in my opinion, still manage to capture the heart and soul of the series and what it's truly about. The characters are each perfectly portrayed; the Pevensies act like actual siblings and yet love each other dearly and would die for each other even through all the petty arguments; the music creates perfect atmosphere and emotion and never fails to make me tear up or get shivers down my spine; and the CGI is honestly just absolutely stunning.

I really do not feel like we need another adaptation by Netflix.

Especially not through Netflix.

Netflix has already been known to mess up so many shows and movies by completely changing the source material or adding in unnecessary things that completely take away from the purpose of the story. I can already see them warping Narnia into something that barely even resembles the books, that strips it of its purpose and simply makes it about a fantasy world, nothing more. I've already seen posts saying that the new movies just can't end the way the books end, that heaven must be explained away, that Susan never forgets and falls down a dark path, that the faith aspect must be taken out so as not to offend new viewers.

Here's the thing.

If you take faith out of Narnia, you remove the very heart of the series. you remove the entire purpose. Because Narnia is entirely about faith, and trust, and Someone greater than yourself who sacrifices everything to save your own traitorous soul. the Disney movies did not shy away from portraying this faith as openly as possible. if anyone was offended, I've never seen proof. I have seen many nonbelievers talk about how much they were affected by Aslan's death, which goes to show that you simply don't have to be Christian to understand what Narnia is about, and to love and enjoy it.

So if these new remakes remove the faith aspect, then what is the point? four siblings go to a magical land and save it from a witch and befriend a talking lion with nothing special about him and live there as kings and queens and return home and live happily ever after? there is no sacrifice, there is no "he's not tame, but he is good," there is no creation, there is no redemption, there is no last battle, there is no "in your world, I have another name", there is no sister straying down a dark path because she has forgotten how to hope, and then returning because her story is unfinished and the road to heaven is paved with flowers that symbolize her name.

so then, what are you left with? Aslan is just a talking lion, nothing more. the stone table never cracks, the sun never rises. "That by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there" is forgotten entirely, because why would Aslan exist in our world if he is merely a talking lion in Narnia? Aslan's country is changed to be something else, and there is nothing about how Aslan suddenly no longer looks like a lion, and how the things that happened after are more great and beautiful than can be described. Edmund's life is never threatened because of his traitorous deeds; Aslan never offers his own life in place of a guilty boy, is never killed, is never resurrected.

the very core of Narnia is removed, and what you are left with is emptiness.

sure, it might make for a good fantasy story nonetheless. you might still have sweeping views and epic music and an intriguing plotline, but something will always feel like it is missing. like there is an empty hole, desperately needing to be filled.

of course, I don't know that all of that will happen; it's just speculation at this point. But I am fairly sure that it is safe to predict these upcoming movies as such. I highly doubt the producers will want to include the faith that shapes Narnia, because according to them, having a faith aspect means less viewers since too many people would be offended.

but if only they would look at the already wonderful existing adaptations, they would know that is simply not the case.

There is nothing that can ever be quite like fleeing town to not be bothered by the sheer amount of trick or treaters on our street, and then, in a very odd fashion, running into the Kansas cryptid goat named Jack. He's feral, the size of a small horse, and somehow our friends have tamed him enough to put a collar on him and take him for walks.

Bruce sighed, turning to Tim as his eldest tried to hang off of Jason's jacket. "Tim, Timmy, kiddo. Where did that come from?? You've never expressed thoughts like this, to my awareness."

Timothy's eyes were wide. He gazed up innocently at Bruce. "But, B, you were the one I learned it from."

The Cave froze and Bruce remembered the two years from hell.

He groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. " Fair enough. Why do you remember everything I say?"

Tim shrugged as Dick launched himself at Bruce.

Bruce caught his son gently, embracing Dick. "What is it, chum?"

"You didn't deny iiiit!!" Dick wailed, coiling himself around Bruce.

Bruce sighed. "Simple explanation. Back when Tim was starting out as Robin."

Dick cringed, springing back and nodding as he stood straight. "Yep, makes sense, I did a bit of that too. You know, you and I are lucky Clark and Tim snapped us out of our funk. Now that we're well out of it, though, what's stopping us from a eensy weensy bit of violence?"

Bruce huffed.

Dick nodded. "Fair enough, Clark would interfere again..."

A throat cleared, and the original Dynamic Duo glanced at the rest of their family. "Yes?"

"What are you two even talking about?"

Tim spoke up in reply, "Probably the separate times where they nearly killed Joker. Uncle Clark stopped B, B stopped Dick. Both cases were stopped for the respective attemptee's sanity. To my guess they were talking about joining Jason in violence against Joker."

Jason gaped. "What the-"

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

An AU where Batman when Jason dies, comes up with dark reasons why keeping villains alive is better than killing them. And it continues to get darker and more detailed the longer he’s in grief.

So when Tim become Robin he keeps on accidentally hearing Batman mutter to himself stuff like:

“Death is a mercy they doesn’t deserve”

“My revenge is something hell can’t reproduce”

“Let justice decide their fate”

“I won’t become like them. I’ll become worse, and I’ll do it while keeping to my rules”

and he just has to sit there pretending he can’t hear as Batman lists horrible reasons why keeping all the villains alive is better then just straight up killing them for his own sanity.

so early Tim’s motto when he wanted to kill a villains who was hurting people close to him and 100% deserved to die was:

“If i kill them now my revenge will end and hell’s will begins. I have to keep them alive so mine can continue”

Ofc as Batman recovers from all the grief of losing his son, and training the new Robin, he slowly stops thinking and saying stuff like that. Tim also knows that this thought process is wrong but it never fully goes away….

Years later when everyone is hanging out, Jason is complaining about why they have to keep the Joker alive and Tim just says what he used to say to himself all the time, out loud.

Tim: “if you kill the joker now your chance at revenge ends and hell’s begins, death is a mercy he doesn’t deserve. keep him alive, show him what hell wishes they could.”

And there’s just horrified and concerned looks from everyone in the room.

just a Au I enjoy exploring every once in a while. This would never happen but I love see a Tim with a slightly darker side to him that comes out every once in a while :p . hope you enjoyed it too
