@lotr20 | Day 6 ↳ Healing: Aragorn in the Houses of Healing
Aragorn went first to Faramir, and then to the Lady Éowyn, and last to Merry. When he had looked on the faces of the sick and seen their hurts he sighed. 'Here I must put forth all such power and skill as is given to me,' he said. 'Would that Elrond were here, for he is the eldest of all our race, and has the greater power.'

funniest bit of the Bible to me is when Jesus says "I'm going to die and come back in three days" in WORDS after the resurrection of Lazarus (so the disciples had literally seen resurrection) and they're still like hmm whatever could that mean.

Level 1: Characters in a fantastical setting with no clear analogue of any real-world culture or religion celebrate Christmas; the implications of this are never examined
Level 2: Characters in a fantastical setting celebrate a secular, non-denominational mid-winter holiday which just coincidentally involves many of the same rituals and observances as Christmas
Level 3: Characters in a fantastical setting celebrate a mid-winter holiday commemorating an invented folk-hero whose mythos furnishes elaborate alternative explanations for various Christmas observances
Level 4: Characters in a fantastical setting celebrate Christmas because in spite of the setting's history otherwise bearing no resemblance to that of Earth, for some reason Catholicism still exists
Level 5: Whatever C S Lewis was on

Reepicheep could just walk into Mordor. Easy-peasy.
He could definitely get there, but he wouldn't be my first pick as Ringbearer. I definitely don't think he'd have it any easier than Frodo and Sam. If I had to send Narnians to do the Fellowship's jobs, here's who I'd send:
Reepicheep could kill the Witch King of Angmar
Puddleglum and Hwin could take the Ring to Mordor
Caspian could take the Paths of the Dead, with assorted Old Narnians (Trumpkin, Trufflehunter, etc.) as backup. Drinian is along to sail the ships.
Puzzle could unwittingly contact Sauron via Palantir
Tumnus is my pick for improvising Boromir's funeral lament. We know he's musical and HHB shows that he thinks fast on his feet
On the flip side:
Faramir could stamp out the Green Lady's fire
Bilbo could joyously take the coracle over the edge of the world (unless it's the First Age, in which case it's definitely Eärendil)
Sam would do the Jill thing and rescue Puzzle from the stable, then immediately speed bond and refuse to let anyone hurt him
Any number of Middle Earth warriors could do single combat with Miraz, but I think Aragorn would come up with the plan on the spot the way Peter does. Very similar vibe to the attack on the Black Gate
Also:
Father Christmas could hand out gifts and cryptic advice in Lothlorien; Galadriel could arm the Pevensies and patch up the Beavers' dam
Lucy stands the best chance of anyone at finding the Entwives
Pippin and Cor would have a lot to discuss re: first experience in battle. Pippin and Corin would have a lot to discuss re: everything else
Ramandu and Coraikin have a biweekly book club with Tom Bombadil and Goldberry. Gandalf is also invited, but only pops by once in a great while

It is such a stone cold bummer that we live in a universe where C.S. Lewis's youthful ambition to write the libretto for a Loki opera was never realized

Since God isn’t giving us what we want, we try to get it on our own. We try to be self-sufficient, to find the purpose in our pain, to create the relief we long for, and to get back to enjoying what seems delightful. Except we don’t call it sin. We call it “redeeming what is broken” and “creating beauty from ashes.” Instead of living fully within the borders of the lives we’ve been given, we plot an escape and call it faith.
This Too Shall Last, KJ Ramsey

I've always wondered what was in Tumnus's parcels. Some ideas:
His haul from the bookstore
Groceries
Another, warmer scarf
The sardines he later served to Lucy (she has to watch him unwrap them first)
His mail; they have PO boxes in Narnia
Birthday gifts
His salary from the White Witch, given in the form of mystery packages which she takes the time to wrap
There's only one thing we know for certain wasn't in them: Christmas presents.
