hello!! ☀️☀️☀️
happy almost end of summer!!!!! can you believe august is practically over? i hope you all got to have some kind of fun summer adventure!!! i'd still like to get some custard 🍦 and have a nice root beer float.....
if you participated in the wicked way exchange, please don't forget to fill out the exit interview that was emailed!!
a lot of interest has been expressed in doing a big bang type event, which i would love to do!! i wanted to get it going for about late summer/early fall, but time has sure gotten away from me this year. but next year.....👀👀👀
in the meantime!! I would still like to do something in the fall! i think a lot of you have been looking forward to woevember again, but i'd like to know if there's any other low-key event idea people have in mind to do? i definitely want to keep it a smaller, more casual event, since we had a big one earlier in the year.
feel free to send me an ask or a message OR use the handy suggestion box!!

Thinking about how in all the books after LWW, they talk about 'the time when High King Peter rules with his siblings' or 'the age of Peter the High King' or if they're generous 'when the four siblings ruled Narnia under Peter' like. In the movies they're mostly shown as being equal, in PC Edmund is heavily involved in all of the planning and Lucy is trusted to find Aslan and Susan is leading a whole group of archers on her own, in VDT Edmund and Lucy are treated with the utmost respect and called 'High King and Queen' above Caspian, and the only mention of their older siblings is in the context of an old friend asking about their family
But in the books you can see that Peter has had so much more of an impact on Narnia, in HHB Susan and Edmund are in Calormene but they're treated like lowly ambassadors, Queen Susan treats Corin like her own son but King Lune seems to have more power than she, Edmund leads the charge against Rabadash only because Peter wasn't there and couldn't handle it, Lucy is hardly mentioned at all while there are constant references to Peter fighting a war in the north
In SC when Eustace and Jill are at Cair Paravel they tell the story of Cor and Aravis which happened 'in the golden Age when Peter was High King,' and there's no mention of the four royals again
In PC Doctor Cornelius places great emphasis on ruling like 'the High King Peter of old,' and when talking about the horn only Peter has the honorific of 'High' royalty, and when Trufflehunter tried to convince the dwarves that Caspian should rule he says 'wasn't the High King Peter a man?' with no mention of the others, and when Edmund is arguing with Peter Lucy tells him to do what he says because 'he is the High King, you know,' and every time the siblings fought the Trumpkin said he would go with the High King, and when he arrived at the How he only announced Peter and not Edmund, and when Aslan sent the Telmarines away he told them they were going to the world where 'the High King Peter belongs'
In LB Jill introduces Tirian to 'Peter, the High King over all Kings in Narnia,' and at the end of the world Peter was called to shut the door on Narnia (not Professor Kirke, who planted the Tree of Protection, or King Frank, the first King of Narnia, or even Aslan himself, who sung the world into existence)
Anyway I just think it's really interesting that LWW portrayed them mostly as equals, where Peter may have been knighted long before Edmund but the epilogue implies that they were a united front for all of their reign, but the rest of the books show that Narnia really was only right when a Son of Adam was King over all

PSA from a tired server technician
If you're on a website, or an application, or some hum-dum-diggory 64-bit program and you're clicking a button and it doesn't respond after the first couple of times...
Do not spam click it.
Trust me, it will not fix your problem. It'll only make it worse. I understand it can be frustrating to wait, but patience is a virtue.

im going to be so honest for a second here but i genuinely think that this whole kit connor was forced to come out narrative is blown out of proportion like yeah people need to stay out of celebrity’s private lives but at the end of the day it was just jobless people on twitter accusing him of queerbaiting and it’s just.. not that deep? like these people had nothing on him and would have moved on to get mad about some other random shit in no time because that’s how fandom cancel culture on twitter works like. kit connor still decided to type out that tweet and come out instead of just logging out idk
