a version of chronicles of narnia where those closest to the kings and queens get put into a sleep when the pevensies are brought back to their world, from which they're awoken only when their beloved four rules return, something à la sleeping beauty.
so the pevensie siblings return to narnia, and logically, it's been thousands of years. their closest friends, those they viewed as family, are, to their knowledge, dead, and they are completely alone now.
until peter and caspian encounter each other in the woods, and are about to get into their fight. it's the moment where peter's back is turned, and caspian has his word raised. lucy is screaming, tears in her eyes, susan and edmund are too far away to do anything, and there's a moment of chaos before caspian's strike is blocked by a larger, longer sword.
oreius, completely disgruntled and still very out of the loop, but only focusing on the fact that his king, his friend, his son, is in danger, glares daggers at caspian, not looking away for a second, even as tumnus gathers a now-relieved, sobbing lucy up in a tight hug, and edmund and susan shriek with joy upon seeing the beavers and mr. fox.
and any feeling of tension or fear immediately seeps out of peter, who drops the rock he had picked up, and stumbles to his feet and to oreius' side, being able to lean on the centaur for the first time in a year, and not have to worry about his safety or his siblings' safety. and oreius, without taking his eyes off of caspian and his followers, just puts an arm around peter.
and caspian remembers. he remembers the stories of the high kings and queens of narnia, and their beloved inner circle, and the absolutely terrifying centaur who called them sons and daughters of his heart, and he can't quite help but think about how utterly fucked he is.

Hello! Welcome! I'm sharing my art on here. First time I've done that either in a while or ever. The last couple of days I have been drawing my OC and my friends OC as Prince Philip and Princess Aurora. It came out really good if I do say so myself.

It is very sad when we heard the news that she has passed on because she left a big legacy in this hotel because most of the tourists who normally visit here in Africa don't complete their journey without coming to Treetops and seeing where Queen has seated and normally always want to see the Queen's room because it still exists, and it's like a monument
- Amos Ndegwa
HM Queen Elizabeth II, who died at the age of 96, was a mere 25 year old princess when she learned she had become queen in February 1952 whilst on an official trip to Kenya with Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
In February 1952, Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip had begun a Commonwealth tour with a visit to Kenya, after being seen off by her parents King George VI and Queen Elizabeth and her sister Princess Margaret at London's Heathrow airport on 31 January 1952.
When the news broke with the death of King George VI, the princess was staying at the Treetop Lodge located at the Aberdare National Park in Kenya. The lodge built in 1932 was the only lodge forty feet from the ground. Guests could watch animals comfortably from the comfort of their rooms that's why Princess Elizabeth was attracted to the place.
Tumblr media
Princess Elizabeth had spent the night of February 5th at the Treetops Hotel after a day of watching big game.
Princess Elizabeth was told of her father's death on the afternoon of the 6th at Sagana Lodge - just hours later they were on their way back home to London. It was Prince Philip who broke the news to her. She arrived back on British soil the next day - for the first time as Sovereign. HM Queen Elizabeth II was crowned on 2 June 1953.
Amos Ndegwa’s grandfather built the lodge and he took over as the main guide. He named one of the suites after Queen Elizabeth. Amos is a repository for the hotel's secrets. "My father was working as a chef and he used to cook for Queen Elizabeth in 1952 when she came here for the first time”.
Tumblr media
The lodge was run as a very successful business until the Covid pandemic devastated business and it was forced to close down. There are now calls amongst Kenyans for the government to turn it into a national monument.

energy of today with the tumblr sexyman poll, reigen and sans as the finalists, the creators from both media acknowledging it (one of them even writing a oneshot fanfic), trisha paytas going into labor soon, and queen elizabeth getting hospitalized then dying is very reminiscent of the one during 2020 with the US presidential elections, putin stepping down, and destiel becoming canon. the accursed debris from those momentous occasions finally came into play during this very night.

How a Princess became Queen
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The day the Princess of Wales became Queen Elizabeth II
by British Heritage Travel, March 31, 2023
As the longest-serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth II has died we now look back on the incredible history and when she was bestowed the mantle of Queen.
When King George VI died in 1952, the then [Princess Elizabeth] and her husband were the last to find out as they were in Kenya at the time. Speaking recently Philip's cousin Pamela Hicks, daughter of the late Lord Mountbatten, who was also in Kenya working as a lady-in-waiting, has revealed that Philip was told first and then shared the news with his wife.
Speaking on her daughter India Hicks' podcast in 2018, Lady Pamela recalled how the Queen had been staying at the remote Treetops guest lodge in Kenya, which was accessed via a ladder.
She said: "She goes up as a princess. The King dies that night. She comes down the ladder as Queen. We were the last people in the world to hear."
A message had been sent by the British embassy but as it had been written in code it wasn't passed on. Instead, the Queen's private secretary, Martin Charteris, was in a nearby town when a reporter accosted him and asked about the news.
Charteris returned to the lodge and subtly climbed the ladder trying to get Philip's attention while not disturbing the Queen.
Lady Pamela said: "Prince Philip is sitting, reading a newspaper, while the princess is in another part of room, at the desk, writing to her father.
"[Martin] crawls in as he doesn't want the princess to look up and see him so he's crawling out of her sightline and gesturing to get hold of the radio.
"He secretly turns it very, very low and hears all the stations (playing) the same dirge-like music, being very solemn, so it's obviously true."
Mr. Parker secretly got the Duke to listen to the radio to hear the news for himself.
Lady Pamela continued: ”Philip just takes the newspaper and covers his face with it, hides behind it and says: 'This will be such a shock!’”
She said the Duke convinced his wife to go for a walk in the garden, where he told her of her father's death and that she was now Queen.
Lady Pamela added: "As she comes into the room. I think 'Oh, poor girl, her father's died'.
“So I go over to her, give her a hug and think 'Oh my God, it's the Queen’, so I go into a deep curtsey.
"And she says 'I'm so sorry. It means we've all got to go back’. She was only thinking of all of us."
The podcast also said Lady Hicks reveal that when the royal party returned to London a black dress had to be smuggled onto the plane so the Queen could change before disembarking as she hadn't thought to bring one. An oversight that changed how the monarchy travel, as they now all bring a black mourning outfit.
