Excerpt from: Digory and His Uncle

Digory let out a scream, for it was so horribly unlike anything that had happened to him, even in a nightmare. Immediately his uncle put his hand over his mouth.

“None of that.” he hissed. “You wouldn’t want to wake your mother.”

Words: 42

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn

She looked over towards a café where she saw Helen and Mrs. Rowe enter. She smiled under her mask. At least her mother was reaching out to those other than her colleagues. She then heard police sirens in the direction of the Creek. With a sigh she then swung in that direction.

Elisabeth looked back at the strange sound.

“Elisabeth?” Helen asked.

“I think SpiderGirl was just watching us.”

“Now who’s being paranoid,” Helen said.

“Anastacia has told me all about the rumors at school,” Elisabeth said, referring to her daughter by her full first name.

“Daria said it was she and Jane who started it,” Helen said as she lead the way into the café.

“But how?” Elisabetha asked.

“Things they said were misinterpreted,” Helen answered.

“That makes sense.”

They then went to order their coffees.

While her mother was talking to Elisabeth, Daria was watching Sick Sad World with Jane when they heard Trent’s cheerful music in a commercial break!

“Hey, it’s Trent’s hell music,” Jane said.

“If you don't have a car or your present car sucks, go to Happy Herb with a few thousand bucks. Then you can drive here, you can drive there, drive where you want, Happy Herb don't care. It won't make you better or smarter, that true, but you can drive around when there's nothing else to do. So go buy a car, buy a damn car, hit the road to nowhere in your Happy Herb car.”

“I'm Happy Herb, and I sell cars, so come on down.”

“So now you know,” Trent said, with shame in his voice, from the door.

“Oh, um, nice jingle,” Daria said.

“You don't have to tell me. I'm a complete sell-out. But I really needed the gig,” Trent explained.

“What's the going rate for an artist's soul these days?” Jane asked.

“20 bucks, an hour of free studio time and a set of tires,” Trent answered.

“That’s it?” Jane asked.

“They’re new tires,” Trent explained.

Sick Sad World returned.

“Hey, look, it’s that guy,” Trent said.

“And what unspeakable acts did the space beings perform on you?” the usual reporter asked.

“They took my flesh and replaced it with an alien synthetic skin. A skin capable of sensations you can't even imagine. But that's not the worst of it,” the former Pizza guy said before breaking down and crying.

“Uh-oh, he's gonna get his skin wet and shrink it,” Jane commented.

“They used me, and then they made me lose my job.”

“You saw it first on Sick, Sad World. Alien love goddesses are depriving Americans of their skins and their jobs.”

Then a shot of Daria and Jane in ‘space vixen’ outfits were shown.

“Hey, cool,” Trent said.

“We should be upset, right?” Daria said.

“I don’t know, those outfits look pretty good,” Jane said.

“You’re kidding, right?” Daria asked.

“Nope!”

“Then again. I doubt anyone is taping this.”

“Only very few,” Jane said in reassurance.

Thoughts on Narnia Adaptations

I know I’ve briefly mentioned the pros and cons of someone writing about Susan’s story, and yes I have so many thoughts about that. But do you know what else I have thoughts about fellow Narnia fans?

A movie or tv series about the Ketterley family: Letty, Andrew, and Mable (Digory’s mom).

Because Uncle Andrew gave us one chapter of absolute insanity with his whole “I had an evil fairy godmother who did hard time in prison. She taught me dark magic and I stole a box of magic dust from Atlantis (which is real btw) from her on her death bed and broke a promise just so I could make some sparkly jewelry in my sister’s attic and perform experiments on guinea pigs and children. I’ve traveled the world and discovered secrets you fools could only dream of and learned terrible things!”

…and then never brought any of that stuff up again, or explained it. How much is real? How much is him just making stuff up? It would not surprise me if Uncle Andrew took that box to a charlatan who was like “oh uh… it’s um… Atlantean for sure” and Uncle Andrew was like “haha… I knew it!” (Also what was Andrew like as a kid, did he make his evil fairy godmother curse other students in his class because I feel like he would).

And while we’re on the subject of people who likely lied about or exaggerated a lot of their backstory: Jadis. I don’t know who remembers her whole: “I had an evil older sister who was so much worse than me, and it was all her fault. I might have committed omnicide, but that was only because she drove me to it by challenging me for no reason like an idiot (and she was always weak you know. She never even considered that I or anyone else would actually use omnicide to win a war. What a short-sighted fool). But now she and every other life form that ever existed on the planet are 100% dead. No one escaped I made sure of that we have no portals or magic rings here children, and no one is more powerful than me.”

…uh, yeah… right… your sister who was worse than you, yet “too weak” for omnicide. She might have also been evil or done bad things, I’m not discounting that, but forgive me if I don’t take Jadis and Andrew entirely at their word.

#Long post #I just know they lied #Jadis because she’s a liar and Andrew because he has no idea what he’s even talking about #And there are ways to connect their stories I’m sure (have fun rotating those in your brain) #But at the very least I need to see Andrew’s backstory I just know the kid was a menace #His sisters were probably so embarrassed of him #Little did they know it would only get so much worse #jadis #jadis the white witch #the white witch #charn #chronicles of narnia #narnia #the chronicles of narnia #uncle andrew #susan pevensie #Narnia adaptations #cs lewis

Lewis references in Piranesi -

opening quote from The Magician’s Nephew

the faun statue

the fox/squirrels/satyrs statue

the albatross

Ketterley (middle name: Andrew; father: Andrew; from “an old Dorsetshire family”)

vast abandoned halls like Charn

fragments of ancient British/Arthurian magic like That Hideous Strength

bonus - “it’s all in Plato…”

any I’m missing?

#of course there’s also the entire concept of doorways to other worlds #and the whole concept of the magician doing the experiment on others #I didn’t see the opening quote until I went back to the book 🤦🏻‍♀️ #piranesi

[queenlucythevaliant]

Andrew Ketterley and Grunkle Stan would get along so well.

I haven't actually watched Gravity Falls, I just liked that one joke. But I'll take your word for it 😊

(takes a long drag of a (fake) cigarette) andrew ketterley? now that's a name i haven't heard in a long time

Yuletide 2022

Another Yuletide fic exchange has come and gone, and now it's time for the reveals post.

First: my wonderful gift. It's the Christmas special The Bear deserves; funny, moving, sharply observed. It is, as Sydney Adamu would say, fire.

Sunday Special Author: LearnedFoot Fandom: The Bear (TV 2022) Details: Rated T, Gen, 2073 words Tags: Sydney Adamu, Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto, Richard "Richie" Jerimovich, other characters make appearances too, Friendship, Found Family, Christmas, Post-Canon Summary: The Bear stays open for Christmas.

Second: my recs list for Yuletide 2022, a work in progress. It's an eclectic bunch of stuff right now, including Stand By Me, Piranesi, 17776, Ask a Manager, and more.

And finally, my works.

Below the Waves for rueckenfigur Fandom: Polar Explorer RPF Details: Rated G, Gen, 1813 words Tags: Francis Crozier, HMS Terror, Historical, Sailing, Franklin Expedition, Ross Expedition, POV Inanimate Object Summary: "A ship can have favourites; sailors know this in their bones. And Crozier—quiet, steady, respectful—was hers." Notes: This isn't a Terror fic per se, but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't heavily influenced by that show. I mean, I went and stuck a quotation from the show in the epigraph, and Lt. Little in this story maybe owes something to Matthew McNulty's portrayal in the show. In any case, my recipient had asked for a story about Francis Rawdon Moira Crozier, and after a speed-run through assorted works of nonfiction, this is where I ended up, telling his story from the point of view of his ship, HMS Terror, who still dreams of him as she lies 21 metres below the surface of Terror Bay. The title is from Heidi Berry's song of the same name, and the mood of the story is basically that song as well.

Bell, Book, and Candle for BeccaLee Fandom: Control (Video Game) x Piranesi - Susanna Clarke Details: Rated G, Gen, 1533 words Tags: Emily Pope, Original Characters, Crossover, Crossovers & Fandom Fusions, Found Documents, case files Summary: Correspondence relating to OOP27-UE. Notes: I wasn't sure if I was going to manage to write anything other than my assignment this year, but I'd been listening to the audiobook of Piranesi while doing some long pre-holiday drives. So I went poking around the prompts and found that BeccaLee had requested both Piranesi and Control. I did very much like the idea of mashing up the House and the Oldest House, and also the idea of there being other Oldest Houses. There's not really a plot here per se; it's more of a vibe, and in particular the shared vibe of both canons that suggests something Larger and More Powerful At Work. And of course the characters from the world of Control would see Piranesi's House as something creepy at best, and outright dangerous at worst.

The Cunning of the Goose is Immeasurable; Its Mischief Infinite for Lielac Fandom: Untitled Goose Game x Piranesi - Susanna Clarke Details: Rated G, Gen, 1133 words Tags: Piranesi | Matthew Rose Sorensen, The Other | Valentine Andrew Ketterley, Goose (Untitled Goose Game), Crossover, Crossovers & Fandom Fusions, Prequel Summary: Entries for the Fourth Month in the Year the Albatross Came to the South-Western Halls. Notes: Lielac had requested Untitled Goose Game fic and their prompt offered a blank cheque for crossing the game over with literally anything. And, again, since I had Piranesi very much on the brain, I thought, well, why not have the Goose pay a visit to the House? What if the Goose is an agent of mischief and chaos that transcends space and time? Once the idea formed, the story practically wrote itself. I also constructed it such that it is set a month before the beginning of the novel, which averts spoilers of any significance. I'm tempted to expand on it—probably the only reason it's not longer is that I literally wrote it two days before the collection went live, and I wanted to get it done. But really both Piranesi and the Goose deserve more shenanigans together before the Goose buggers off to wherever it came from.

Regarding this whole "gray Jedi" nonsense, C.S. Lewis did a take-down of this sort of thinking before Star Wars even existed. In the first Narnia book, The Magician's Nephew, Digory's uncle Andrew Ketterley used this sort of mentality to justify tricking Polly into an experiment that sent her to another world. When called on it, Uncle Andrew claimed that “Men like me, who possess hidden wisdom, are free from common rules just as we are cut off from common pleasures. Ours, my boy, is a high and lonely destiny.” In other words, he thinks he's above good and evil. But as Digory muses, that just means that Andrew can justify doing anything he likes to get anything he wants. A lot of this "gray Jedi" nonsense is coming from people with similar mentalities, where they imagine themselves "above good and evil" when in reality they're just selfish and/or mediocre.

Lol that's exactly right. They're not above good and evil they're just bullies with a high IQ.

[gameguy20100]

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Felix fans can be reasoned with at all. When people harp so much on "complexity", it reminds anon of Andrew Ketterley from C.S. Lewis's The Magician's Nephew. Uncle Andrew has just tricked Polly into an experiment that sent her to another world alone, and when Digory calls him on it, Uncle Andrew insists that because he has "hidden wisdom", he's above good and evil. But as Digory muses, that just means Andrew can do anything he likes to get anything he wants.

This is what's often called "moral myopia."

Regardless of the actions of a character, people take the side of who they like. And never change, regardless of morality and facts.

It's how Sylvanas stans can say Genn Greymane can be in the wrong for hating her, despite the fact she used chemical weapons on his country and killed his son right before his eyes.

“—You lie. —she replied— Isn't magic always linked to real blood? Who has ever heard of ordinary people being magicians? I know the truth, whether you say it or not. Your uncle is the great king and sorcerer of your world. Through his art he has obtained the vision of my face, in some magic mirror or enchanted pond; and for the love of my beauty he has created a powerful spell that has shaken your world until its foundations and has sent you across the immense abyss that separates the worlds to search for me and take me to him. Answer me: is that so? So how did it happen?”

[demigodofhoolemere]

I’m reading The Magician’s Nephew for the first time (excluding that time many years ago where I started it and only read several pages lol), I’m about halfway through and my thoughts so far are

- First and foremost oh my goodness I miss Narnia so much, how did I wait this long to read this

- I love Digory and Polly as individuals and as cute bickering friends. Their personalities are great, I love when it’s written what they’re thinking during whatever’s going on, I love the silly back and forth of kids who both don’t know what’s going on but are both determined to be more right than the other.

- The way Lewis narrates is the best, I’d forgotten what it was like since I read LWW so darn long ago. I love how he’ll describe things or people’s thoughts or casually mention what they’ll think years later or just amusingly skip over something. My favorite thing: “And Polly gave him a pretty sharp answer and he said something even nastier in reply. The quarrel lasted for several minutes but it would be dull to write it all down.”

- Atlantis is real apparently. Cool.

- Spent the whole time they were setting up the Queen waiting for the name so I could know I was right about what I was picturing lol. And goodness gracious, she’s cold! She’s like, ‘yeah I killed literally everyone, why are you acting like it matters?’ Like okay lady you can apparently still shock me. All these years watching the movie and this was your backstory the whole time and I never knew it. Yikes.

- Somehow even though I knew Digory was the magician’s nephew I never really thought about the fact that there must be a magician uncle playing some kind of role lol. Uncle Andrew is honestly a bit terrifying. His indignant disinterest in any ethical arguments against any decision he wants to make doesn’t feel very dissimilar to Jadis.

- I’m not even at the technical creation of Narnia itself yet but even just thinking about Digory one day getting to talk to the Pevensies about this magical land he’s had to keep secret from everyone but Polly and learning that Jadis is gone and hearing their many tales from their time as kings and queens is making me very emotional.

#i’ve been on a narnia kick which is great because i’m finally motivated to read everything like i’ve meant to since the dawn of time #currently feeling all the things and can’t wait to feel even more things #chronicles of narnia #the magician's nephew #digory kirke #polly plummer #jadis #andrew ketterley #cs lewis #reading narnia
