Last one on the bandwagon (as usual!)

Since everyone and their mother is doing this:

Name either a character or a relationship between characters (not necessarily romantic) from canons I know and/or Milliways and I will a.) give my rambling opinion of him/her/it and b.) tell you one thing I really like about him/her/it.

Most of you hear my rambling opinions on a semi-regular basis BUT if you are curious! :D!

ALSO I REPLACED MY FAILED GRADE WITH AN 89% AN I AM SO SO GLEEFUL. God totally, like, rocks. *HAPPY* And you all do TOO

Ummmmmm.

Um.

Cora-Edmund!

Oh gosh. (Also, preface: this is written in present tense just because my brain refuses to go past tense because it is silly)

Cora has a very silly crush on Edmund, like Cora has a very silly crush on most nice intelligent young men by dint of the fact that she knows very few and, well, she's silly.

Just to get that out of the way.

But beyond that, Edmund is someone who Cora can assume understands what she is talking about which is pretty rare in Milliways, and she can trust him not to be mean. And he is a teahcer, and he likes math, and he draws and in general he is very interesting and not-scary/intimidating because she always forgets he's a king.

I wish we'd been able to explore more their interaction re: king!Edmund, because honestly I am not so sure what Cora would make of that.

OH ALSO. Um.

My favorite part about Edmund and Cora is...eru. Probably the talking about random weird books.

Or the conversations that kept us up for THREE NIGHTS IN A ROW UNTIL ALL HOURS OF MORNING. :P

And also just how they had a bizarre sort of friendship that one would assume was older than it was because of the fact that being from the same country in a kind of foreign bar place makes Cora, at least, loads more comfortable with Edmund than most people.

Yes. *shuts up*

Yes -- the HEY WE HAVE COMMON CONTEXT factor was definitely part of their friendship, and the speed of it. It still makes me happy, though. That the "Oh, you're Narnian!" factor set them both so much more at ease.

And I wish too that we'd been able to play around more with the differences between King Edmund the Just and Edmund the artistic tea-drinking chap. (Defy_ka sometime, perhaps?) Just -- there are so many layers there, of what aspects came out around her and what ones didn't, and that kind of thing is so much fun to play with. In general and with them, both.

(Perhaps! My Cora voice is pretty iffy off/on but it would be v. interesting and fun)

(I shall lure her out with math textbooks. And tea.)
