Buffistas

We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

On a shallow note, Liam Neesom as Aslan was just fantastic.

Oh, yes. And I think they did a great job on the casting of the kids, especially in the first movie. Lucy, especially.

The battle scene still makes me laugh, though: the swords never get bloody. And no 11-year-old kid has the muscle-mass to do that kind of fighting, much less wear plate armor. ::shrugs::

The second movie has its charms, too. The third one goes wildly off the rails, though, and is primarily enjoyable mostly for Ben Barnes in tight pants. Oh, and the kid who was cast as Eustace, who is fantastic.

Because books.

I haven't seen them. I'd kind of like to read the other books first now. Of course, the list of things I want to read before that is, like, up to three hundred, so.

And thanks for indulging me with some discussion tonight. It really helped.

My pleasure. Also, the wackiness of fandom is endlessly entertaining to me.

Seriously: theological concrit. ::rolls eyes::

I find it so fascinating. And occasionally infuriating and baffling, maybe because I only sort of hover on the fringes, in terms of participating actively in a broader sense.

On Archive of Our Own I noticed a large amount of Narnia incest fic. (I admit I skipped every Narnia fic with an incest warning. ) So apparently not everyone approaches it from a theocon point of view. And on the other hand I always found the Neil Gaiman "Problem of Susan" fanfic interesting.

Oh, indeed not. The religious-traditional axis of the fandom mostly hangs out at Fanfiction.net. I don't think most of those folks know AO3 exists.

AO3/LJ fandom is in no way afraid of incest, or even slashy incest. You might find some of it on FFN, but it's usually prefaced by defensive statements like "Don't like, don't read!!!!"

I didn't promise anyone here a VividCon DVD set yet, did I?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, yeah, I must have promised someone a set, so...good question.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I know I asked someone for a set, but I have no idea who it was.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I neglected to ask this year, but if anyone has a spare set, I'd gratefully take 'em
