shout out to eustace scrubb who did not recognize a dragon because he "had read none of the right books" but knows what an assonance in poetry is and uses this poetic device to mock his cousins (a king and queen of narnia)

sometimes i think about narnia and i vibrate out of my skin like...
you walk into a world you cannot understand, frozen and dying, and it is you who thaws it. you who kills the witch, you who breaks the stone table, you who slays the wolf. it is you who is crowned and it is you who wails for two worlds when the wardrobe doors shut behind you.
your skin never sits quite right and your teeth are too dull. there are wars in your bones and decades in your eyes before you can reach the telephone on the wall.
you are king. you are queen. they won't let you read the newspapers at breakfast.
it calls you back from beyond a train and from within paint. begs with bloody palms and salt-crusted cheeks. takes from you all that you can give - and sends you back.
you watch your sister fade.
you are a child twice and an adult once. and when you stand in your home again, with crushed bones and the smell of coal still in your nose, you watch them sneer at your sister.
your sister is the sun above you. she is, beautiful and stone-cast, alive in a world you could never stomach. she smiles, still, and stretches her skin over human bones.
she is no longer a friend of narnia. do you tell them it is her who has to bury you all and the stars that are falling from the skies in shards?

"The Kings and Queens came to us so young, so brave. We raised them, we taught them, we loved them and they served so well. After they were gone all of Narnia grieved them, and we will miss them till the end of time. "

Something about watching Narnia as a Christian
About how Lucy is always the first to see Aslan because it takes childlike faith
"Nobody else believed me" "Then why did that stop you from coming?"
About how Caspian is accepted and made king despite being a Telmarine, and how Eustace and Edmund are redeemed because it doesn't matter where you come from or what you've done, his grace is still sufficient.
"No matter how hard I tried I couldn't do it myself"
About how Edmund's betrayal is never spoken of again by anyone but himself, and he is never tempted by her again, even when Peter and Caspian are. His sins have been forgotten. How even though he isn't tempted, she still haunts his thought because sometimes even though we are forgiven we can't forgive ourselves.
About how Lucy struggles with trying to be like Susanne, but he has an individual plan for everyone.
 "In your world, I have another name. You must learn to know me by it. That was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there."
Ugly crying because you do know him by his other name.
Just something about Narnia as a Christian

Me, writing: Damn I have so many cool worldbuilding ideas that I want to explore but obviously I can't just pivot my entire story into a semi-coherant journey through the coolest parts
Clive Staples Lewis: *avoiding eye contact as he surreptitiously slides a copy of "The Voyage of The Dawn Treader" under a pillow*

Poll one has been complete and the winner is The Lightning Thief! The winner of this poll will face off against the previous winner to declare the true winner and best opening line.
And again, if you feel I've forgotten a particularly good quote, feel free to suggest.
Please reblog to break containment 💙📚
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader: There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Stubbs and he almost deserved it.
Rebecca: Last night I dreamt I went to Manderly again.
The Dark Tower: The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe: In the beginning the Universe was created. This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
A Wrinkle in Time: It was a dark and stormy night.
The Book Thief: Here is a small fact: you are going to die.
The Outsiders: When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.
The Princess Bride: This is my favorite book in all the world, though I have never read it.
The Night Circus: The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it, no paper notices on downtown posts and billboards, no mentions or advertisements in local newspapers. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not.
Anna Karenina: Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
The Fellowship of the Ring: When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End announced that he would shortly be celebrating his eleventyifirst birthday with a party of special magnificence, there was much talk and excitement in Hobbiton.
Frankenstein: You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings

Thoughts on The Chronicles of Narnia
There are plenty of valid criticisms to make about the Chronicles of Narnia. There's the xenophobia, sexism, treatment of Susan, heavy and relentless religious overtones, and the fact that the plots get more and more bonkers throughout the series. The Silver Chair and The Last Battle, in particular, seem more like a description of a trip than an actual narrative. However, there is a criticism which I'd like to address, and that's the lack of humour.
These books are actually pretty funny. In Prince Caspian, the Pevensie kids are transported across time and space and brought to the ruined castle in which they used to live, climb into a magical vault full of incredible treasure... but they also have to worry about their torch running out of batteries. There's plenty of humorous juxtaposition whereby things have enormous power and potential, yet end up being used for incredibly mundane things. In The Magician's Nephew, there's a forest full of pools, and if you jump into a pool you're transported into a different world. Alas, the only beings which live there and can freely explore are, um, guinea pigs. Likewise, an apple (of course) which came from Narnia grew into a tree. It could have all sorts of incredible powers, but when the tree dies, they just turn its wood into a wardrobe and store old coats there. Finally, the first king and queen of Narnia are a random London cabbie and his wife because, well, they were there. Perhaps they're still in Narnia, grumbling about Bolt and taking the long way around.
