Okay, ducks, riddle me this: 1940, the Pevensies enter Narnia. Lucy's what, ten? And Peter, five years older, is fifteen. 1941, time two, Peter and Susan are too old at approximately sixteen and fifteen. 1942, time three, Edmund and Lucy are too old at fourteen and thirteen, Eustace is, like, twelve or eleven? 1943, Eustace and Jill are around twelve or thirteen? 1949: Peter's twenty-four, Susan's twenty-three, Edmund's twenty-one, Lucy's nineteen, and Eustace and Jill are seventeen or eighteen and the only ones still in school.

And they're not too old?

Aslan is very active throughout VotDT and SC, after having relatively minimal presence throughout LWW and PC. (Excuse me while I randomly combine bookverse and movieverse. It's a thing. Also ignore how fucked my ages probably are. Again.) And again, ye olde Aslan Conspiracy Theory. He did not bring them through in LWW, he did not bring them through in PC, he did bring them through in VotDT and he definitely did bring them through in SC. And yet in LB, Tirian summons them. Aslan did not bring them through. Tirian does. And -- Narnia?

And there's that whole train crash thing. Whatever. Irrelevant.

OH LEWIS WHAT NOW?

(Yes. I think about these things all the friggin' time.)

aha! i have to put that in before i forget about it, except that i don't have edmund and eustace in proximity for a while, since eustace is going to cair paravel with peter and tirian and edmund is staying at arn abedin. *frowns* or edmund could go too.

YAY. i am very excited!

butbutbut. it's, like, very important throughout the books that physically the kids actually be children when they're in narnia; they're always children, even when it seems that being adults would be, you know, a little more helpful. AND if only a year could pass in england and a thousand years in narnia, then why the hell bring eustace and jill through after four years in england, when they're pretty much physically not kids anymore? why not bring them in a year after SC?

i know. trying to think about this seriously is a brain-breaking thing.
