r/Narnia

I love the other books in the series, both for the story itself and for the religious parallels (I am a practicing Catholic), but I hated this last book and found it disrespectful.

The final book in the saga essentially presents a distorted view of religious fanaticism: "Atheists" are portrayed as complete fools, and believers who do not follow biblical teachings to the letter are deemed heretics barred from entering Paradise.

In this book, atheists are depicted as wicked, cruel villains, whereas in real life, there are many atheists who are kind and gentle people.

Believers may have been faithful and followed biblical teachings, but if they make a single mistake or their faith wavers, they are denied entry into Paradise.

Susan is excluded from the others for extremely trivial reasons; despite having saved Narnia twice, she is cast out and treated like a pariah simply because her faith wavered.

You might want to stone me for this, but as a believer, I consider C.S. Lewis's portrayal of God an offense against the true God—who views all His children as equals, regardless of religion, and forgives their sins, whether great or small.

The copy of TLTWATW was the one my dad first read it to from, and I always loved the illustrations. Hague also did a phenomenal job with other illustrated books as well like The Wind In The Willows. Highly recommend checking out his works!

I posted this years ago but now I wanted to gather my favourite pieces of collage crafted dresses inspired by the Narnia style dresses from the movies, including pencil designs!

The first collection is pieces of the original dresses mixed together but edited with my own personal design and the other ones are examples of the type of dresses Susan and Lucy wore in the first two movies.

These dresses aren’t meant to be crated by a tailor because… well I never had any collaborations I’m not that big but one day they may come to life who knows ;)

If anyone wishes to use these for their fanfic / story or anything feel free to use them!

Prince Caspian has always been my favourite book and movie in the Narnia chronicles, but if there’s one thing that left a lot to be desired, it was the Telmarines, who feel a bit one dimensional. Miraz is as evil as it gets, but what about the people under him?

My Telmarine OC characters are driven by their own deep-seated flaws, fragile fears, quiet joys, and rigid virtues.

Story is called The Lion and the Black Gryphons, and if you love gritty, character-driven worldbuilding, you can read it here: https://archiveofourown.gay/works/57759205

Are you interested in seeing how these new, deeply flawed characters will interact with the characters you know and love, like Caspian, Susan, Peter, Edmund, and Lucy?

Who will betray their own blood, who will find unexpected love and be redeemed, and who will fight to the bitter end against the “shadow” of the Lion?

Check it out and let me know what you think! I'd love to hear your thoughts.

I was always really struck by the image of Cair Paravel in ruins like the Pevensies came across in Prince Caspian. Because the story of the Pevensie kings and queens were so pervasive even in Caspian’s time, I was inspired to write a Narnian inspired lullaby; I imagined it being sung and passed down through generations since the disappearance of the Pevensies all the way to Caspian’s era, as a way to keep their story alive.

My guitar playing isn’t that great, but I thought I’d share anyways for my fellow fans!
