god, your best warrior needs money

Sleeping Beauty (1959)

Sweet princess, if through this wicked witch’s trick, a spindle should your finger prick… a ray of hope there still may be in this, the gift I give to thee. Not in death, but just in sleep, the fateful prophecy you’ll keep. And from this slumber you shall wake, when true love’s kiss, the spell shall break.

The trees were very vain in the winter. They didn’t care that the world had grown cold and everyone’s life had become more difficult. Covered in white fur, they looked elegant. The snow highlighted the wild, beautiful shapes of their branches. As though they were wearing skimpy nightgowns on their wedding nights.

Heather O'Neill, excerpt from The Capital of Dreams

Always write the thing.

If you have to ask yourself, should I write the thing? The answer is yes.

BUT WHAT IF IT'S BEEN WRITTEN BEFORE?

You didn't write your version of it. Write the thing.

BUT WHAT IF NO ONE WANTS TO READ IT?

You want to read it. Write the thing.

BUT WHAT IF IT'S DUMB?

Lots of things are dumb. Write the thing.

BUT WHAT IF IT'S SUCH A POPULAR SHIP/TROPE/GENRE/FANDOM THAT IT'LL NEVER GET SEEN?

You'll see it. Write the thing.

BUT WHAT IF IT'S CORNY?

Corn is delicious. Write the thing.

BUT WHAT IF IT'S PROBLEMATIC?

People got problems. Write the thing.

BUT WHAT IF I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT WHAT I'M WRITING ABOUT?

The internets has lots of resources. Write the thing.

BUT WHAT IF PEOPLE THINK LESS OF ME FOR IT?

They would have found a reason to think less of you anyway. Write the thing.

BUT WHAT IF--

Shh, shh. Stop prevaricating. I love you. Just write the thing, okay? The answer is always to write the thing. Write the thing.

you cannot divorce lewis’ writing from his christian morality and worldview. you just can't. i'm sorry to everyone who's been duped by this “narnia is just a fantasy story and i can interpret it any way i want” idea because that is just fundamentally untrue. if you don't read narnia through a christian lens you are unavoidably missing the thesis of the work. and you're making yourselves angry over something the author makes very transparent. just don't read it if you can't get with it.

There’s a small part in the beginning of the Legends novel Yoda: Dark Rendezvous where it‘s narrated how Padmé was looking out to the distance watching the spaceport landing nearest to the Jedi Temple waiting for someone (Anakin) to land and immediately got her macrobinoculars when a ship landed but disappointedly put them down when she realized that it wasn’t “him.”

(It’s confirmed that Padmé waits by her window, watching the Jedi Temple with macrobinoculars intently waiting for Anakin to come home 🥹 the way she loves this man.)
