My take/designs on the pevensies! (They’re definitely heavily inspired by their looks in the movies.)
Beginning of the lion, the witch and the wardrobe
End of golden age-ish
I’d call this a WIP but it’s not really, mostly once we get into designing clothes in fantasy settings I feel very out of my depth, but I wanna practice more. I’m the most happy with Lucy’s but that’s also cause I most heavily referenced with hers.
Im mostly still just figuring out the clothes design for when they’re in narnia. I want brighter/more jewel toned and warmth to contrast with the more muted London clothes. And for the clothing design I want embroidery, but other than that I have no idea how I would make the designs of the narnian style in this era cohesive.
I also have vague main colours for each of them, lucy green, secondary red, edmund blue secondary brown, Susan purple secondary blue, Peter red secondary purple, and all of them use gold as well.

Lucy Pevensie as a Mary Magdalene figure in Narnia as she was the first to witness Narnia and Aslan.
Peter, who is our St Peter figure, initially doesn’t believe her as St. Peter didn’t believe in the resurrection until he saw the empty tomb. But once he sees that Lucy (Mary Magdalene) is right, only then is he able to ascend to his destined position as High King (as Peter ascended to the Pontificate).
Susan is a St Martha figure. In this essay-

Narnia Headcanons
King Edmund the Just
Had several casual relationships and hook-ups with people of all genders, but he neither fell in love with someone nor did he think that someone was politically beneficial enough to marry. He prefers not to label his sexuality.
Narnians gave him many titles. The Fair Judge, the Swordmaster of Narnia, King Edmund the Benevolent, Representative of the People and so on. He was greatly admired in the supreme court of Narnia for his kindness and unbiased treatment of everyone. Beyond Narnian borders he was called the Cunning Fox of Narnia, King Edmund Swordstorm, Edmund the Serpent-Tongued King, the Hurricane of Narnia, etc.
He was the chief diplomat of Narnia, and frequently journeyed to foreign nations to deal with international matters. He was renowned for his art of conversation and would weave such elaborate traps with his words that his prey did not realise they were in danger until they had no way of getting out.
He was a deadly swordfighter— he carried two swords, and despite the lack of a shield, preferred to wear leather armour instead of chainmail. The unconventional armour sent the message that he was lethal enough to not need any real protection.
In one-on-one duels, Peter was better, but Edmund was known as Swordstorm and the Hurricane of Narnia for a reason. His dual swords carved through dozens of enemy soldiers within moments, cutting swathes through the battlefield like a storm. He was brutal, swift and never left a foe alive, and was probably more feared that Peter.
His hair went down to the middle of his back, and was always in braids just like Peter's. He would let Lucy braid flowers into his hair whenever both of them needed to relax or had time. It wasn't uncommon to see the Just King walking around Paravel with roses or violets or jasmines in his hair. When they fell out of Narnia, he had thirty-two braids.
His war paint was deceptively mild looking— two dark green lines running over his left eye down to his chin, and three large dots on the underside of his right eye. It did not look very terrifying, but anybody who ever made the mistake of taking him to be harmless met their death at his sword a second later.
Enjoyed both studying and sports— he often took part in wrestling competitions and mock skirmishes, and just as often could be found debating with Susan, or metaphorically destroying some poor soul that had fallen for his charm and agreed to play chess with him, or in the library with his head buried in a book.
He and Peter refused to duel each other after a certain point in time. They knew each other's fighting styles too well— the duel would always end in a draw, no matter how brutal and deadly Edmund was or how fast and strong Peter was.
Just as good a war strategist as the other Pevensies. He usually left the strategising to Peter and Lucy, but when he did put in his two words, his plans were always crucial in winning wars.
His favourite subjects were Politics, History and funnily enough, cooking. He would often sneak into the kitchens during his free time and ask the chefs to teach him how to cook. Within a year of sitting in on meal prep, he was excellent at cooking, and at least every two months the Pevensies gathered for a family dinner prepared by Edmund.
Piercings. His right ear had four piercings and left had two. He had one in his belly-button and another on his tongue, and then a vertical piercing at his right eyebrow that exacerbated the action of him raising an eyebrow.
The King of Pranks™. Permanent and semi-permanent residents of the castle were frequent targets for his pranks, and the stories of his mischief-making were so outrageous and unbelievable that if anyone who had never been on the wrong end of his metaphorical sword would never even entertain the idea of them being true.

I love it whenever I come across a post about how the pevensies are holding up when they return to England or how other people notice they have changed, it just feel so nostalgic and makes me feel connected to them in another level
So if anyone writes something like that, please do tag me, I’ll be delighted to read it

Theory: Greta Gerwig will start the Chronicles of Narnia with lww and MN
A few days ago i came across a tweet from the NarniaWeb where it says that Jim Broadbent; who played Digory in the Iww adaptation directed by Andrew Adamson, will appear in the cast of the films currently in Greta's hands. At first i didn't give it much importance, but i thought about it and i said to myself: "If it is a new beginning for Narnia in the Cinema and they call this actor it is because the books selected are MN and Lww"
What i mean is that 'The Magician's Nephew' would probably be the first book to be adapted and the second would be Lww. Or it can be the other way around; start with Lww and continue with MN.
The most interesting way would be to first Lww and as we know, in the end Digory probably tells the Pevensies how he knows about Narnia and then move on to MN. This adaptation would be the continuation of Lww and would begin with Digory telling the Pevensies his story.
That's why i guess Greta called Jim Broadbent to be part of her cast and return to his role as Digory Kirke.
Honestly, i find the idea striking and interesting and i would like it to be done that way.

I've been reeeeally wanting to make a double spread in my sketch book for a long while. Ad really, I've been thinking about making it about the Pevensies for months. But also, my Firefly obsession just reared its head up again.
But I'm open to being persuaded ✨
Now let's see if I'm not too soul crushingly tired to actually do it hehe.
