The Problem of Susan Fic Recs

For many reasons, The Last Battle is probably the most contentious addition to the Narnia canon. The standout, though, has to be the infamous Problem of Susan, wherein the Pevensie children are all killed in a train crash and brought to Narnia 2 Electric Boogaloo aka heaven, then declare that Susan is no longer a friend of Narnia because of her interest in “lipsticks and nylons”. Hardly any time is spent on this, but the implications have been the ground for a lot of argument and discussion. What exactly would happen to Susan, and should it have happened? Over the years, dozens of fic writers have thrown their hats in the ring and weighed in on the subject, making the Problem of Susan almost a prism for the fandom: everyone shines through it a bit differently, resulting in a wide spectrum. Here’s some of the highlights under the cut.

http://shedletsky.com/blog/the-god-who-loves-you

Starting with the fic that coined the term, written by Neil Gaiman himself, this fic is a reflection and deconstruction of the idea that Susan would be able to find Narnia again by delving into the trauma that the experience of losing all her family at once as well as the social injustices that a young woman of her time would’ve faced, something that the narrative of The Last Battle never really addresses. It took off for a reason, as it presents a lot of good food for thought, but it’s also got some pretty weird shit that can feel like it’s conflating adulthood with edginess. Well worth a read for all the points it raises, but if you’re fond of canon you probably won’t like the way it takes a hammer to it.

Now this one is exactly what you’d want to read if you wanted some feel-good time. This story is probably the closest to how C S Lewis would’ve written Susan’s return to Narnia, detailing her rediscovering all the things she put away as well as what led up to her rejecting Narnia in the first place. It falls more to the end of being almost uncritical of canon, with the focus on Susan basically having the same sort of religious rediscovery that C S Lewis himself had in his life. Because of how she was treated in canon, that can be pretty frustrating, but the ending feels nothing short of joyous.

Swinging back to the other end of the spectrum, this fic is very critical of the idea of The Last Battle being a pretty happy ending for everyone, unambiguously stating that life is always worth living for all the Pevensie kids. It explores what their lives could’ve been like if they didn’t die, being a rebuttal of C S Lewis’ themes rather than a continuation of them while feeling equally as happy as the fic directly above.

And this story feels like a midway point between the above two. It dives really deep into the emotional damage that Susan would’ve suffered before and after the train crash in some absolutely gorgeous prose, showing both her and Aslan with great sympathy while maintaining that what happened to her is not a punishment in any way. Bittersweet and very, very good.

Heading back towards the more critical end of the spectrum, this fic presents a Susan who is not interested in finding Narnia again, only her family. She is very much a character straight out of an ancient myth rather than a teen trying to make sense of a senseless situation here, filled with determination as much as desperation. It’s probably the closest fic on here to having something close to a plot as well as a character study, with the exception of The Queen’s Return and one other:

Being a crossover with what’s pretty much the antithesis of the Chronicles of Narnia, His Dark Materials, it’s probably easy for you to guess which side of the spectrum this story falls on. It’s more of a HDM story than a Narnia one, but the two worlds blend together surprisingly well, and it gives us a rare look into a Susan who’s lived decades of her life when the story picks up. She’s pretty much the Professor and it is fascinating, as is everything left to interpretation by this gem of a fic that is ambiguous yet deeply satisfying.

¡And here’s Susan as a Doctor Who companion! This isn’t directly a Narnia story so much as it is one about two people much older than they look mourning the loss of their worlds, with a Susan who is a queen wise beyond her years. Reading it is like taking an ice shower. It doesn’t hold back on the grief, and as a result it manages to feel honest as it reaches a warm ending.

Despite also being a crossover, this is in some ways the opposite of touch the sky with two arms. Susan is more of an everyday young woman than a queen, and [SLIGHT SPOILERS] Narnia itself does feature directly. But y’know, that’s part of what makes fandom so interesting. Not everyone is going to have the same take on everything, and the ending of this leans more happy than melancholy.

¿A shipping fic that’s also a crossover with Peter Pan that features neither Neverland or Narnia? Yes, this one probably has the least to do with Narnia or Aslan, but it tells a very compelling story about living life and growing up, something that isn’t perfect but can be good if you find someone you want to spend your life with. Susan Pevensie and Wendy Darling are a really good couple, pinky promise.

Technically more a series of ensemble oneshots, but Susan features very prominently in a lot of them, and they will make you feel every feeling that everything else on this list might’ve given you. Satisfaction, devastation, simple joy, just go give it a shot.

Round 1, Match 11

The Endless - Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair and Delirium (The Sandman) vs Lark and Sparrow Oak-Garcia (Dungeons and Daddies)

(Lark and Sparrow art by @sapphickx)

Propaganda under break. Spoilers for Dungeons and Daddies Season 1

The Endless - Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair and Delirium

They are petty, selfish, backstabbing, and generally awful to one another. Particularly Desire and Dream

Lark and Sparrow Oak-Garcia

They kinda sorta summoned an eldritch horror by literally stabbing their father in the back.

BONUS ROUND!!

They were the original inspiration for the bracket, and I was a bit sad not to see them against each other, and I had a few requests to do so, so here is a bonus round with the brothers!

Do you love when sibling relationships are prevalent in media?  Have you always wondered what would happen when your two favorite sibling sets were pitted against each other in a tumblr tournament?

Welcome to the SIBLING SHOWDOWN, a tumblr poll tournament of 64 siblings where only the best will make it to the end!

Inspired by tumblr tournaments @eldest-sibling-tournament​ and @youngersiblingtournament, this showdown pits different groups of siblings against each other and lets tumblr decide the winner.  Will the winners be the siblings that love each other the most?  That are most capable of killing other sibling groups with their bare hands?  That have the most sibling swag?  It’s up to you to decide!

Right now I am taking submissions for sibling groups to include in the bracket.  Some guidelines:

Siblings must be canon within their source material: biological, adopted, step-siblings, half-siblings, and foster siblings are all valid!

Siblings can’t be a big surprise or reveal within their source material.  For example, we all know about Luke and Leia being siblings now, but given that they were a secret for two movies and a huge reveal, they are not allowed in this showdown

You are allowed to submit partial siblings, rather than all siblings in a family.  For example: Sam and Dean Winchester are allowed, but since Adam is a secret reveal he is not allowed.  Therefore, you are allowed to submit only Sam and Dean.

Only one sibling group per fandom will be allowed.  Azula and Zuko will not be able to go against Katara and Sokka for this showdown.

I will naturally gravitate towards siblings from fandoms I know or am part of, so plead your case in the submissions!  Siblings are more likely to be chosen for this showdown if they are main characters or if their sibling bond has a significant impact on the story (whether positive or negative).

No real people will be considered for this tournament.  The siblings must be fictional characters.

Fill out THIS google form to submit a sibling group!  Form will close April 1.

[2023himbotournament]

I am trying so hard to get a Kirby and Dedede sweep on the sibling poll they're my comfort characters because of their dynamic like

ok story time: so I have older brothers. Like, way older than me. Like they're adults and I'm still a teenager, that much older. So for quite a long time I haven't been able to really hang out with them regularly as much as I like, even during the times when we're both in the same place (they have work stuff to deal with). And when it comes to siblings in a lot of media, a lot of them tend to be pretty close in age, and those that aren't usually have one of them acting like a parent from what I've seen

and then we get to Kirby and Dedede who have a very sibling-like dynamic (Kumazaki even refers to dedede as "the older brother of the group"), and a huge age gap (Kirby is pretty definitely a kid and Dedede an adult).

basically they kinda filled the void for me in a way. If that makes any sense to you all.

so that's why I'm so enthusiastic about getting them past round 1 in the @siblingtournament and I hope this will get people to consider voting for them because I'll say it here: even as a Deltarune fan I think Kirby and Dedede deserve to win more than the Addisons do

The Not Quite Siblings Showdown!

Do you have a duo or set of characters that aren't quite siblings, but have a sibling-like dynamic? Whether or not they are actually related in any way, they are canonically just friends, or it's a silly goofy headcanon you just have? So they aren't quite siblings but they are practically are and are close enough to where they are such to you at least? Well then this is the tournament for you!

Some ground rules before nominations!

As much as I love canonical adopted or step-siblings, they do not count for this tourney! Those would fit in the catagory of YES THESE ARE DEFINATELY SIBLINGS. This is for sets that might not be canonically siblings but they have a sibling dynamic and that means the world to you and they are siblings to you!!!

Only nominate a contestant once per person! By that I mean each of you can only nominate one specific person one time, you can nominate multiple contestants in different submissions, No cheating!

That being said odds are I’ll only include up to 64 characters

Those being said I am going to limit it to 2-3 sets from one source

Any harassment or vitriol will be met with a a soft block for 24 hours before a permanent one if it continues and repeated vitriol towards an opponent will be liable to disqualification or being forced onto a team with their opponent.

Also being said. If anyone comes onto this blog and talks about shipping any of these sets, that means in the rbs or in asks and stuff, they will be blocked from this blog.

This is silly little tumblr poll do NOT take this too seriously! It's all for fun!

There will be some Automatically getting ins but I am not going to say who because I would like to see if they end up getting nominations!

Fictional Characters ONLY will be allowed in the tourney!

Nominations will be open till April 15th!

NOMINATE HERE

[eldest-sibling-tournament]

eldest sibling tournament

a tournament to decide the eldest sibling of all time!

rules:

this competition is limited to fictional eldest siblings, even though franz kafka would make a great competitor

the definition of an eldest sibling can be fuzzy—if you think your submission might not count as an eldest sibling (i.e., if they have an older half-sibling or if their younger siblings aren't biologically related to them) elaborate in the optional part of the submission form!

on a related note, it is unlikely that i will accept any twins (individually or separately) into the tournament. if you submit one, be sure to give an argument as to why they count as an eldest sibling despite having a twin.

submissions will be open for a week, until march 15th

submit your nominations here!
