sarcasm: it's what's for dinner

[bedlamsbard]

Further commentary on some of the VotDT pictures, because I'm in that kind of mood, apparently.

LUCY: I can't believe it took this long to put a Pevensie woman in pants.

RHINDON: What the fuck am I doing with Edmund and where is Peter I WANT TO GO HOME RIGHT NOW. *strains towards Narnia*

LUCY: I am Lucy Pevensie, and I am a badass.
EDMUND: I am Edmund Pevensie, and I have a headache. Also, there's a law that says we have to clutch our weapons at all times, even though after fifteen years I'm used to it being there, although with Rhindon I keep feeling like it wants to escape, possibly stabbing me in the throat on its merry way to Peter.

EDMUND: I told you we couldn't keep it, Lu.
LUCY: It would have been such a wonderful addition to the moat!
CASPIAN: ...there is no moat, and you two are both insane.

EDMUND: I love the smell of armor polish in the morning.

EDMUND: Yes, Caspian, I think your clothes are funny too.

CASPIAN: Is that a hole in the sky? Are those people? CLEARLY MY FRIENDS HAVE RETURNED FROM THEIR OWN HELLHOLE OF A WORLD I MUST JUMP IN AND SAVE THEM DESPITE THE FACT THAT I AM THE KING AND I HAVE FLUNKIES FOR THAT.

CASPIAN: I also left color behind in Narnia.

LUCY: Have I mentioned I'm a badass?

SUSAN: I'm stylish, and also angry. But at least I kept my signature flower!
PETER: The invention of the tie is a cruel trick played on an unsuspecting human race. To whit: a lion clearly did not invent this nonsense.

DRINIAN: I brood.

POSSIBLE CALORMENE: I'm here!

*snaps fingers* Trailer. Now. Produce it immediately.

ETA: A new piece of canon I desperately want: a name for Ramandu's daughter. I would just give her a damned name if I didn't think the new movie would name her. (Dude, if they don't, I will be so pissed.)

*adores*

(Also, you made me spit tea on the demonspitz who is sitting on the desk, which is strangely alliterative but still unpleasant, as she was really annoyed and went and rolled on my bed before I could catch her and wash her off.)

[bedlamsbard]

Oh no! Tea on dog! That can't end well.

Thank you for brightening my morning with those fabulous captions for these pictures! Am lovely the Lucy quotes, in particular.

[bedlamsbard]

I am so glad The Snark has returned. It...has been a while.

The other thing I keep thinking about Lucy's wardrobe is, "There is no way in hell those are Caspian's clothes."

[autumnia]

Well, canonically, Lucy does get some new things from their stay on the Lone Islands. Perhaps that's where the clothes we are seeing come from. She'd be better off wearing Edmund's clothes than Caspian's for sure, if it came down to it.

As for Ramandu's daughter, just saw a post on NarniaWeb that the film (and Douglas Gresham) has given her a name: Lilliandil -- Not sure how I feel about this one.

[lady_songsmith]

Well, but Rhindon has to at least be happier at Edmund's hip than Caspian's! (What WAS he thinking? But then canonically he brings the cordial, so... argh.)

[bedlamsbard]

*nods* Canonically he brings the cordial, and Peter did hand over the sword, so in practice it makes sense but not in actual theory. *sighs* Oh, Lewis.

[harpers_child]

do Ed and Lucy ever yell at Caspian for bringing priceless treasures on a sea voyage of unknown length? or yell at him for being King with no heir and going on said sea voyage? because they should. at the very least they should make pointed comments in very calm and slightly sarcastic voices. have i ever mentioned that Edmund is my favorite?

[bedlamsbard]

The closest thing we have in the novel is this bit:

"Meanwhile," said Caspian, "we want to talk."

"By Jove, we do," said Edmund. "And first, about time. It's a year ago by our time since we left you just before your coronation. How long has it been in Narnia?"

"Exactly three years," said Caspian.

"All going well?" asked Edmund.

"You don't suppose I'd have left my kingdom and put to sea unless all was well," answered the King. "It couldn't be better."

[...]

"And where are we heading for?" asked Edmund.

Mapping on tone and expression -- I'm getting calm and sarcastic myself, especially since it's Edmund, and sarcasm is His Thing, even by book canon. (I keep checking bits of VotDT for reference, and Edmund is wonderfully sarcastic; I love him so.)
