First of all, I finally saw Prince Caspian last night, and I'm in love with Edmund! I mean, even more than I already was. But now I understand where all of this wonderful fic I've been reading for months comes from! It actually has basis in canon; people didn't just decide that Edmund is a spymaster - he totally and completely IS.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about the battle they had right before Peter fights Miraz. I guess it belongs there and it certainly shows off Edmunds BAMFery, but it made me a bit sad to see Peter and Caspian fighting so much.

On the whole, though, this movie was incredible and I was grinning the whole time at the slashy elements that couldn't possibly have been a mistake.

ALSO! Jadis! And Peter! And Edmund, to quote zempasuchil , "just shanks her from behind but seriously? I bet he would be freaking the fuck out." So this scene TOTALLY validates my weird Jadis/Miraz theory.

I've been inspired by lassiterfics and zempasuchil to read Emile Durkheim's "Elementary Forms of Religious Life" and it's fantastic. I honestly don't know if I like it for itself or because it provides me with another way of looking at Narnia. Because Forms and Foundations by lassiterfics is the first context in which I became aware of this book.

These are some quotes from "Elementary Forms" that I really love:
