My final ref sheets for Shasta/Cor, Aravis, and Corin’s outfits. It’s taken me many months of revisions but I’m finally happy

you guys may THINK your otp is enemies to lovers, but you've never read "they got so used to fighting and making up afterwards that they got married, so as to go on doing so more conveniently," about them, have you?

Thinking about how Cor, the boy who "was used to hard knocks," wound up with a brother who was famous for boxing, "and all their fights ended (if they didn't begin) with Cor getting knocked down." Just the idea that this abused child can go from being cuffed and kicked and bruised to realizing that some blows are affectionate. Some blows are playful. And, most importantly, he's allowed to hit back. Can you imagine the first time they get into it, and he realizes he can hit back? This slave boy finally has a right to defend himself, and he and his brother can fight and throw each other around because at the end of the day they are completely confident in their love for each other. If Cor gives Corin a bloody nose, they're still going to be friend by evening. It makes me emotional to think how for so long he had punishment, and now he gets affection and confidence in his position and a brother who he may fight with, but who will never EVER be genuinely trying to hurt him. I just think there's something important about that, about Cor feeling safe enough to fight with Corin even when he knows he's going to lose, because he knows it's not a punishment. It's not a beat down. It's a good clean honest argument, and both of them are going to walk away from it perfectly safe.

Aravis I will always love you

my current designs for Aravis, Shasta, and Corin.

I had fun with Lasaraleen last week and her designs pushed me to rework Aravis and Shasta to have a more cohesive Arab (Calormen) style and I couldn’t leave Corin out of the fun

as soon as I saw the hat I should've known😂 (@flanaganfilm you genius)

When I see mike flanagan directing a show I know she is gonna serve as the Most White Woman To Ever White Woman and you know what? It’s incredible every time.

The best love story in the Chronicles of Narnia is Aravis x Shasta
