Snagged from, um, everyone. I lurk in like five different fandoms and I've seen it everywhere.
You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:
1. one weapon
2. one song blasting on the speakers
3. one famous person to fight alongside you
* Weapon can be real or fictional; you may assume endless ammo if applicable. Person can be real or fictional.
1. Lightsaber, please. Working, preferably, and blue. Knowing me, I probably wouldn't be able to figure out how to use flamethrower, and lightsabers are nice and trusty.
2. "Won't Back Down", Fuel.
3. Just one? I'm going to have to go with High King Peter Pevensie himself at the moment, because he can kill things and call in backup (air support via griffins and dwarves!) and eventually Aslan will show up to even things out. If he's not available, Obi-Wan Kenobi will do just as well.
You know, one of these days I'm really going to have to stop writing fic just so I can make up character backstory that has no canon support, even if it just makes sense. Brought to you by the Narnia story I'm writing, "Long Forgotten Wars", which is just Peter and Caspian talking and me expanding on made-up Narnian history. Oh, please, implicit canon, movie and book, says that Peter was totally a warlord and nobody really remembers what happened a thousand years later.
I was thinking about how I had the same reaction to Prince Caspian that a lot of SGA fen had to Written by the Victors -- the urge to create more, that sense of a living history and how history is mutated and distorted over time. Because Prince Caspian shows us that -- the cave art in Aslan's How, the books and papers in Doctor Cornelius' study, the way that the characters speak about Peter and his siblings. There is that sense of things forgotten, of things changed, and we see that literally as well: Aslan's How, the way the cliffs have grown up at the River Rush. There's this huge sense of lost truth, and that's what I've been tapping into this past week. Besides "Long Forgotten Wars", which deals with what Caspian thinks he knows and what really happened, and the drabble Unredeemable, there are also the two Narnian songs that I'll post after "Long Forgotten Wars." Both of them are an extension of that feeling, that "this is not what really happened, but this is what everybody remembers."
I've also got a thought on how SGA and Narnia are similar, but now isn't the time.
