I love how mary crawford is at the top of your list

I replied:

Haha, I was literally in the shower like “wow, she’s just… so great…” and then got tagged! It was meant to be.

Aravis!! My forgotten babe!!

I replied:

I love her! She’s probably my favourite heroine in all of children’s literature, in fact. I mean, proud, hard, true as steel? HELL YEAH. My nine-year-old heart was just AHHHHH

Female character meme!

I was tagged by cinefantastiquemitho and princesssarisa.

RULES: name 10 favorite female characters from 10 different fandoms and then tag 10 people.

1. I was just thinking about her, so Mary Crawford for Austen fandom

"No cold prudence for me. I am not born to sit still and do nothing. If I lose the game, it will not be from not striving for it."

2. Aravis of Calormen for Narnia fandom

She was proud and could be hard enough but she was true as steel.

3. Tar-Ancalimë for Tolkien fandom

But she did not refuse the Heirship, and determined that when her day came she would be a powerful Ruling Queen; and when so, to live where and how she pleased.

4. Annabella from ’Tis Pity She’s a Whore (which doesn’t have a fandom per se but shhhh she’s great)

VASQUES: Good sir, be reconciled; alas, good gentlewoman.

ANNABELLA: Pish, do not beg for me.

5. Avatar Korra for Avatar fandom

"You have always been strong, unyielding, fearless."

6. Leia Organa for SW fandom

"Somebody has to save our skins!"

7. Lucrezia Borgia for Borgias fandom

"I will have blood for this."

8. Lessa for Pern fandom

"Time, time, time. It’s always the wrong time. When is now the time?"

9. Moiraine Damodred for Wheel of Time fandom

"Before I let the Dark One have you, I will destroy you myself."

10. Sandrilene fa Toren for Tamora Pierce fandom

"If I tell you my friend is a lady, then you had best start lapping."

I think I may have escaped meditation class. I begged the psychology of women prof to let me into her course, and she's like "you're a senior and your class got cancelled after the freshmen had signed up? ALL RIGHT THEN." Yay for awesome profs! Then I discovered the heckyeahlukeskywalker tumblr and I seem to have somehow lost about five hours.

Oops!

Crazy midterms are crazy. I've read Orlando and Wide Sargasso Sea in the last three days and far prefer the latter. It has no genderswapping (that was awesome), but it doesn't snap my suspension of disbelief either. So!

The first is more Narniafic, because the recent post inspired even more Cor/Aravis love, and my brain started coming up with excuses for more Adventures in Calormen. Hey, Rabadash the ~~Ridiculous~~ Peacemaker will be making all sorts of friendly overtures. Diplomatic missions! And, and things. So, Lasaraleen and Aravis and hints of Cor/Aravis fluff, but also the darker side of things too because it's creepier to leave them out.

---------------------------

Title: Reunion

Fanverse: canon-compliant

Blurb: At nineteen, Lasaraleen meets Aravis again.

Pairings/warnings: casual attitudes to slavery and race

Length: 795 words

A sign that TV Tropes has ruined your life:

You learn your Spanish verb for the day, empeorar, and your first thought is, "isn't there a TV Tropes page for that?"

There is.

(TV Tropes warning.)

Anyway, there's not enough The Horse and His Boy fic out there -- I don't think there's even fix-fic (and it's not like, ah, certain passages couldn't use some). So, HHB fluff!

---------------------------

Title: Restoration

Fanverse: canon-compliant

Blurb: The Archenlanders have a few misgivings about Cor and Aravis.

Pairings/warnings: none

Length: double drabble (265 words)

But for that, I'd want a The Horse and His Boy adaptation, and I don't know how they'd make it less than horrifically offensive.

Anyway. Awhile back, I rewatched Prince Caspian -- look, I don't know why I do these things to myself, except that I love Edmund and ninja!Edmund makes me happy. Seriously, it's like a bunch of people realised that he'd been the Dragon all last movie and wanted to make very, very sure nobody missed that whole 'reformation' business. HEY GAIZ DON'T FORGET HE'S NOT A BAD KID ANYMORE. Um, how do we make them remember ... SEE, HE'S A NINJA FOR JE ASLAN!

Because obviously what Aslan needs is moar ninjas.

Yeah. I don't really care for it. (BUT EDMUND. <3)
