i am so blaming finals week
Dec. 7th, 2008 12:18 pmYou know what I've been thinking of? Werewolf Pevensies in Narnia!
Specifically, in LWW and VotDT. In LWW when Peter gets turned by Maugrim, and Aslan's reaction is something along the general lines of, "Well, you're a Dark Creature now, I wash my paws of you," so when the White Witch shows up to get Edmund back, her eyes light on Peter, who's standing with his sword in one hand, his other arm in a sling and bandaged, and she laughs delightedly and says something along the lines of, "Oh, this is just too perfect. Your golden High King, one of mine -- why, Aslan, if you're so desperate to keep the traitor, I'll take the werewolf in his place. After all, you have no claim on him now." And before Aslan can say anything, Peter shouts, "Done!" and his siblings start yelling at him as the White Witch smiles and then comes over and hits him around the head. And the only ones who protest when she carries him off are the rest of the Pevensies; Aslan just turns away and goes back into his tent, and the Narnian army stirs uneasily, because they're not sure.
And Peter wakes up caged, just before nightfall, and in Narnia the change is only forced at the first few full moons, and the White Witch taunts him and tries to turn him to her, and Peter is terrified. And then the moon rises, and he changes, and somehow he manages to break out and get back to the Narnian camp, but the guards aren't letting him through and the White Witch's people are right on his tail and one or the other of the two is going to kill him -- and then his siblings charge, because they are not letting the White Witch have any of them.
Which makes the Peter/White Witch fight in the battle that much more awesome.
Meanwhile, in VotDT, when they first end up in the Great Eastern Ocean, Edmund and Lucy switching to wolf form to paddle along as Caspian hauls Eustace out of the water, and then shaking themselves dry on the deck of the Dawn Treader before switching back to human, and the Narnians going, "!" and Eustace going, "OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK I THOUGHT THEY WERE CRAZY BEFORE."
Ha, I'd like to see them get taken into slavery then. That'll end badly. But mostly Eustace's reaction to finding out his cousins are werewolves, because seriously, his reaction to that has got to be good.
