Ok, rant because I just re-watched The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe for the first time in years, and with the knowledge of storywriting I've accumulated in the meantime, the movie really impresses me.

One thing that struck me was that I could see that the people who made the movie had read the other books in the Chronicles of Narnia series. The most obvious is professor Kirke's reaction (beautifully played by Jim Broadbent) to learning of the world inside the wardrobe. He doesn't react with curiosity, but with recognition. Because he knows where the wood for that wardrobe came from. Because he has been to that world. Because he witnessed the creation of that world.

There are other minor examples, like the fact that the Lamp Post only has one cross arm (the other was torn off by queen Jadis in The Magician's Nephew).

This is something that has hugely bothered me about several more recent adaptations of books that I love, such as Eragon or The Letter for the King, which were clearly made by people with little to no knowledge of other books in the series, and perhaps no expectation to further adapt the series. These two are the most egregious examples I can think of right now, as they are both adapted so poorly that their respective sequels are pretty much impossible to adapt as a result of plot points they have changed, characters they have left out, or characters they included but killed off even though they are extremely important to the sequels.

Rant over.

“oh, there, he's cregan stark. he fought with prince aemon once, and the dragonknight said he'd never faced a finer swordsman.”

to counter all the middle aged fancasts of twenty-one year old cregan stark. gijs blom in the letter to the king.

Jussipo: Wait, what? People actually tell their crushes they like them?

Iona: What the hell do YOU do?

The weird thing about heartstopper s2 is seeing David. I mean, he's an absolute dick but I'll always know the actor as Foldo from A letter for the king, in which he kisses a guy.

Look at this- I hate David, but I love Foldo and its causing a dilemma over here.

the monk: it's not the pain which ruins us, my child. it's the things we do to avoid the pain

tiuri: i fear it might break me

the monk: then break. break. let spirit crack you open. let yourself be forged in the crucible of your own agony, transformed into the most perfect instrument of destiny

me who's so far been watching 'the letter for the king' as a guilty pleasure bc it's kind of shitty but in a good way and i'll watch anything fantasy, not at all expecting anything profound from this show:

#LIKE WHAT #like yes this show is good and im on episode 3 but it's not GREAT #like it's kind of forced at times and a lot of the humour lands flat #but i just like it bc it feeds into a lot of fantasy tropes - like The Tavern Brawl - and im a sucker for that #one thing about me is that i loveeee a fantasy kingdom #BUT MY GOD THIS DIALOGUE EXCHANGE??? okay damn #im rocking with it #i adore tuiri btw with my whole heart if you even care #him and iona and her little gang #bc it is very much HER gang #the letter for the king
