#Narnia and lord of the rings

Hang on a second, if you're really taking requests atm, then are there any actual rules or conditions that we should be aware of? Do they have to involve certain fandoms and such? And are crossovers also allowed?

I would say my only primary rules are 1) Nothing NSFW or suggestive 2) I won’t take OC requests.

Other than almost anything goes! Crossovers and various fandoms are welcome to request! Of course, I’d prefer if it’s fandoms I know, but I would still say be free to request because the odds are high that even if I’m not in certain fandoms I at least know a good amount. I’ll also list some fandoms I know/a part of in the tags for future reference. Thanks for asking! :D

i think all quiet on the western front and the lord of the rings are in direct conversation with each other, as in theyre the retelling of the same war with one saying here's what happened, we all died, and it did not matter at all and another going hush little boy, of course we won, of course your friends came back

I've never seen a normal post about C.S. Lewis and JRR Tolkien it's always just like: Tolkien once murdered someone and Lewis helped him bury the body but he wore a Santa costume just to spite him

Shakespeare: So, in Macbeth, the forest doesn't actually move, it's just an army holding branches

C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien: And we took that personally

Listen I’m rewatching Reign because I didn’t finish it the first time and I can’t stop laughing about this scene…

The writers really said, “Do you guys want to make J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis roll over in their graves? Let’s give a bow to the two actors on set most likely to know how to use it.”

So they had Haldir, the Elf…

teach Susan Pevensie how to use a bow

And honestly I can’t fault them for making this happen

I just need you all to understand the relationship of me, who was a CS Lewis girl as a young teenager, and my wife, who was such a Tolkien nerd that they wrote their diaries in Tengwar.

...it's exactly what you'd think. CS Lewis putting a lamppost in his fantasy series to aggravate Tolkien? That's just what we do. Like, the exact same things don't bother my wife, but the dynamic is entirely the same. I guess if anyone is out there RPF shipping Tolkien and Lewis, pls know that it has essentially happened irl, and we've been together for a decade and a half.

"Go to hell" is basic. "I hope your favorite media is plagued by bad takes of people who did not understand the themes or the plot" is smart. It's possible. It's terrifying.

You know how in Lord of the Rings and Narnia and other films shot in New Zealand, the scenery looks like it’s got a big sparkly filter added over it in editing? Yeah well went to a river yesterday and it actually just looks like that

every time I re-read Chronicles of Narnia and Lord of the Rings, I'm like "damn, these go so hard", and every time I forget that both authors went through two World Wars. of course it does

An Important Lesson from the Authors Who Came Before Us

We all know the story of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.

Childhood friends, high school sweethearts, and university rivals.

They showed up at Cambridge with trunks full of typewritten stories featuring talking lions, magical rings, a demon named Screwtape, and a dragon named Smog.

Their Creative Writing professor, James Joyce, famously suffered a fit of apoplexy when he first read their writing. He was so furious over their whimsical stories that he banished them from his classroom and forced them to work as unpaid innkeepers at his pub. He told them they could only come back once they proved they'd learned enough about the "real world" to write stories about "real things, like eagles and children."

Professor Joyce was forced to admit them back into his classroom when Tolkien wrote his eagles into Middle Earth and Lewis created the Pevensie children to visit Narnia. Their contemporary, Bede Griffiths, alleges that Joyce could be heard raging and screeching about how the clever young authors had willfully misinterpreted his assignment as far away as Gertrude Stein's Edinburgh apartment!

I remember this moment in history every time my professors tell me that I need to change my writing--when they try to get me to conform to a dying format. When they tell me that my Land Before Time fanfiction isn't appropriate for a class on Immigration Stories and Travel Narratives. When they tell me that my Babe fics "can't" be considered an essay on Orwell's Animal Farm.

Won't they feel silly in a few decades, when there will be sold-out university courses focused on studying work like mine.

There's a reason James Joyce's work has never been turned into movies. There's a reason his fandom is practically nonexistent.

The only reason we know his name is because he was a footnote in the intertwined heroes' journeys of authors who weren't afraid to try something new.

One of my favorite things about JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis is they both look exactly how I imagined they would.
