[sharpestsatire]

rereading the silver chair and puddleglum is not having it in this book. doubt a sign?

steel chair response.

suggest it's just a coincidence that a sign happened?

immediate shut down.

say there is no land called narnia?

he basically calls you an idiot

The Silver Chair is so funny because Aslan’s like “here’s your directions 🗺️” and Jill’s like “oh I’ll definitely remember” and then immediately fucks up every single turn and walks straight into traps every time but they still somehow manage to save Rilian and escape the Giants and the Underworld

I see your “Reepicheep could kill the Witch King of Angmar” and raise you “Puddleglum could carry the ring to Mordor.”

“Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things―trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Silver Chair

Hello good evening I would just like to treat you to some wholesome images of my ringneck doves sweetly cuddling in their bowl-nest warming their eggs together.

Thank you, as you were.

Narnia is my go to world when I wanna just practise character design.

The silver chair is also great cause it doesn’t have a movie really so the design can be my own (except for the bbc version, but I didn’t really watch those growing up. Just read/listened to the books a million times and watched the Disney/Walden movies.)

Anyway this is mostly Jill, love her so much.

There’s more down here

I saw an aesthetic board one time and ran with it, and it’s also just practise on drawing hair with a tighter curl pattern, idk if it quite counts as Afro hair though. Also I like her being a redhead.

Puddleglum I’m still working on, clothes are hard!! I love fantasy character design in general but I find it difficult to imagine what clothing the characters would wear, it makes me feel like I wanna take a whole ass historical/fantasy clothing course or something.

Also I can’t make up my mind on how I wanna do his hair. I’m definitely taking influence from the illustrations in the book. Anyway love frogman and he must be tall and lanky and I’m just going from there.

I am happy with how the clothes look especially given my insecurities about clothing design for characters, I feel like she looks like a little hobbit! (I imagine her and eustace and puddleglum bundling up quite a bit for most of their travels.)

I also did an alt version of her hair cause I prefer the curls myself, but I don’t know what black hairstyles would have mostly been in London at the time? I feel like relaxed/1940s wavy style hair (whatever it’s called) would be more accurate but idk. I think both work for her character, I think they express different aspects of it.

The school outfit was very rushed, I mostly know if I were to develop it more I’d want it to look frumpy and awkward especially cause it would (in theory) contrast to the narnian outfits. I still have the travel outfits full though cause generally the journey in SC is kind of gloomy in vibes. Harfaang (harfang? Idk) is LOOSELY Nordic inspired except i really didn’t do that much research. Also those sketches are the earliest ones and they’re from long ago so I may revisit sometime and change things.

My headcanon/thing that I do with most narnian as in Cair Paravel clothing is that it’s embroidered with things like flowers, trees, leaves, natural things. As well as royal and foresty ish colours. So I tried to at least make harfaang clothes different from that, and some geometric detail in the dress. Also the dress was green in the book illustrations so therefore it’s green.

You should draw Felix and fat kitten puddles.

Here you go!! Look at him he's so ugly 💕💕

Puddles wasn't exactly fat when he was a kitten... He's named Puddles because Felix and his friends found the poor little guy abandoned in a gutter, so they took him home and cleaned him up.

Here he is, post bath

[loonie-and-proud]

Jill: I'm gay

Eustace: Oh my cousin Edmund is gay too, you guys should hook up

Jill: ...

Puddleglum: I have the feeling that's not how it works...

[who-canceled-roger-rabbit]

Forget "how do centaurs eat"; how do Marsh-wiggles reproduce? Do they do it the human way, or did Puddleglum's parents both deposit their genetic material in a container of water to produce a clutch of eggs that eventually hatched into tadpoles who grew into Puddleglum and his siblings?

[knight--error]

I got those Marshwiggle vibes

Narnia characters as: iconic tumblr quotes (part 2/4)

edmund, to eustace: pick a god and pray

.

lucy: there's no point being grown-up if you can't be childish sometimes

.

edmund, to peter: god may judge you but his sins outnumber your own

.

eustace, holding a sword: tell me the name of god you piece of shit

the lady of the green kirtle: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters

eustace, raising the sword, tears streaming down his face: I'M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU

.

puddleglum, ten minutes after the previous quote: decay exists as an extant form of life

.

jadis, to edmund: you kneel before my throne unaware it was born of lies

my impression of the silver chair trio

(if i remember correctly)

[yeehawesome]

POV you listen to an album thinking it’ll have cute references to your favorite book series and it ends up making you cry in your car and relate to some of your favorite characters on a completely different, more human level

everyone go listen to Into the Lantern Waste by Sarah Sparks

[domonicriley]

Seventy years ago today The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair was published.

This is one of the best books in the series and has a different tone to it, slightly more grown up in a way. It's also the first that doesn't feature any of the Pevensie children, which adds to its unique feel.

The most enjoyable thing for me is the inclusion of Puddleglum the Marsh-Wiggle. He's not just one of the best characters in the Chronicles of Narnia, but one of the best characters in English literature.
