Yeah, not so much with the shippy. But, sure! I can ramble!
Let's stick to two main topics of conversation:
1.) I blame Edmund for my redemption fetish (well, that and I'm Christian. It's kind of a thing we do, you know?). The Narnia books were always just sort of there--I don't remember a time without them, though they weren't my favorite. But I really do think that Edmund started my obsession.
Now, I have a very specific redemption obsession. I can't stand Angel's version: brooding and feeling sorry for himself. I like the kind that's accompanied by a love of life (see: Spike, Aeryn Sun, Tony Stonem, etc.). I like it when the redemption matures a character but doesn't weigh them down. To me that's Edmund, and that's what I love.
And it's been years since I've read Voyage of the Dawn Treader, though it was my favorite for a long time (and still might be), but I remember him understanding Eustace, too. And I love that.
2.) Let's talk about this kid named Skander Keynes. Let's talk about how awesomely cast he is. Let's talk about the first movie where he was little kid snarky and pretty selfish and a jerk to his sister but you still cared about him. And let's talk about the second movie where he had like six lines but was still BY FAR the biggest bad-ass in the movie. Let's talk about how whenever he was onscreen, I got so excited I wanted to squeal. And let's talk about how I want to rewatch the movie a hundred times (which I haven't done!) and just fast-foward to the parts he's in. Because he is awesome. Like, definition of awesome.
And how I need to find an OTP crossover pairing for him. You need to get on that. I trust your creativity to find the perfect girl for him. GO!
