"What is this paying thing you speak of?"

omg you guys heee! I was looking for maps of Narnia that actually showed me past Narnia itself (Calormene and Galma and etc.!) (which, by the way, I did mange to find, but if you have any especially good ones...) and I found this picture!

It's the part where she looks really really happy that is throwing me off. She's all "TREMBLE YE MORTALS, I AM JADIS QUEEN OF CHARN. WHEEEEE!"

Aahaha, I see what you mean. That makes me smile. =D

As awful of a villain she was, I can totally see Uncle Andrew's fascination. She is magnificent. (I really liked Lewis's characterization of of her wild ride across London as a chariot ride. Awesome.)

Isn't she just? She's such a horrible horrible person but she's also rather magnificent. (I feel Tilda Swinton got this down rather well.) And yes! The wild ride across London was awesome.

HAHAHA I TOTALLY REMEMBER THAT PICTURE
I have that edition of the books! And yeah, her face just looks really really happy and playful and like she doesn't have a cruel bone in her body. wtf, so deceptive!
Also, standing on top of that thing? There is no way she wouldn't fall off or not totally choke that horse.

I know! She looks so innocent and playful and inside you know she is thinking 'which country should I take over first? does my magic work here? who do I have to turn to stone?'
Heee, I know. The unrealisticness of the picture was the second thing I noticed, but then I went straight back to why does she look so innocent, it is wrong.

You know, someone ought to dump her and the Master into their own little world and the two of them can have an EPIC VILLAIN DEATHMATCH OF... something other than doom, because doom isn't even bad enough to describe the havoc those two could wreak.

edit: my husband figures that the Master wouldn't try to fight her, but win her to his side. Which is an even more terrifying thought.

the... the idea of Jadis and the Master hanging out together trading tips on being evil is either the most excellent crack or the most terrifying picture to ever be come up with.

I know, right?

[janetlin.livejournal.com]

:D Maybe both.

Also, my husband and I have been giving each other giggle fits by randomly going "WHEEEE!" a la Jadis there.

Oh my god, i love that picture, and I love you for posting it. I've never seen it in color though. she looks so happy when she's evil

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

doesn't she look so happy? you know there is something wrong with someone when they look happy while they're being evil. hee.

That's the edition I have, and I looooooove the pictures. :D :D :D Jadis was having all sorts of fun!

And it's so obvious she's just having the time of her life! It's like she is a kid in a candy shop!
