So for the sake of that, I "get it" as a ship, like you said, but I don't personally ship them myself. I mean, I guess I COULD…<br /><br />That's so cool! I kind of wish I related to Lucy more--I mean, in the dreamy sense, I do (INFJ high-five!), but I kind of relate a bit more to Susan. (Probably why I'm so protective of her as a character, hehe…) But I agree--Lucy is an awesome character. She's so faithful! She never loses faith in Aslan, which I really admire, especially as someone who feels a bit more like Susan sometimes.Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-46746582025241499882015-11-28T13:26:21.526-05:002015-11-28T13:26:21.526-05:00That stinks:(

I'm pretty sure Mrs. MacCready and Po...Oh, no. I'm pretty sure Mrs. MacCready and Polly are not one and the same. That would be awful! Because, you're right, Mrs. MacCready is not a very likeable character--at least according to the movies--and I'm sure Polly could not have grown up to be someone like her. Polly makes an appearance in The Last Battle--still good friends with Digory--and she's not at all like Mrs. MacCready, so yeah...I think Mrs. MacCready is just a random lady who keeps house for Professor Kirk. No connection to Polly whatever. :) Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad for the Professor to be married. It's nice having him and Polly together again in The Last Battle, and I can more easily see him as a married man in that story. <br /><br />I've heard of "Further Chronicles of Rebecca." In fact, I was looking it up the other night to see if I could find out anything about Adam and Rebecca so I could comment and tell you that they really do get married...unfortunately I wasn't able to find the information I was looking for. It sounds like it's more stories of Rebecca's growing up years--things that kind of run alongside the original story--so I don't know if it would give any details of future events past what we read about in Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. I've never read it, though, so I really don't know. :)<br /><br />~Miss MarchMiss Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03088465083055515308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-84220830862961849232015-11-25T18:04:20.906-05:002015-11-25T18:04:20.906-05:00I know :)I know :)Rosie McCannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10756806467175885197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-68939160871304349442015-11-25T15:16:05.662-05:002015-11-25T15:16:05.662-05:00Mr. Tumnus . . . ?

I think they're just really close friends. Rosie's probably right--C.S. Lewis probably just never intended for Lucy to have a love interest in the first place. Yeah, she's wonderful. I relate to her a lot, except I think she's even MORE imaginative and "dreamy" than I am. I'm a fairly respectable "dreamer" in my own right--being an INFJ and all--but Lucy is even more so. I LOVE HER SO MUCH THOUGH. She's the bestest.

I thought I'd read or heard that somewhere…but I don't really like to think of her growing up like she's portrayed in the movie :-P I dunno…it WOULD be kind of strange for the Professor to be married…but I think that overall I'd be willing to have that in exchange for Polly and Digory getting married:D<br /><br />YOU UNDERSTAND. It's just…annoying. <br /><br />Haha, thanks;) I remember being SO excited when they get married at the end, the first time I heard the book:)<br /><br />I think you do, too. It's not one of my favoritest books, but it's pretty doggone amazing. And emotional. <br /><br />YUSSS SHE DOES. I love Alcott :D<br /><br />Hehe, thank you. I try;) <br /><br />Just so! (I mentioned the sequel because in the back of the book I have, it mentions a book called "Further Chronicles of Rebecca" or something like that, which apparently narrates her life through the age of 18.)

I don't think I shipped them when I was younger either.<br /><br />Actually, that's exactly what's happened with Jill and Eustace, for me. For reasons passing my understanding, I don't ship them, which doesn't make any sense whatever seeing as how I ship the other two child pairs. Maybe it's because I WAS really young when I first read/watched Jill and Eustace? I'm not sure. <br /><br />Aww, yeah! I hadn't thought too much about the lack of love interest for Lucy…I know some people ship her with Mr. Tumnus, though. Which is weird and all, but I can kiiiiiiiinda see where they get it. :D Lucy is awesome.<br /><br />Haha, I know the feeling;)Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-23516785834443043272015-11-25T13:51:33.240-05:002015-11-25T13:51:33.240-05:00Haha, I don't mind!

Of course they should have gotten married. Except...then that would mean that the Professor in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe would have to be married, and that doesn't seem to fit somehow. Does it? What do you think? <br /><br />I've never read The Great Gatsby, but your quote: "Literally the only compelling, potentially healthy relationship in the book. Of course it falls apart." Oh! I can feel the frustration! I so dislike it in books (or movies) when there isn't one decent couple to root for; and then when there IS one they die or something, and it all comes to naught. Grrrr...<br /><br />Haha! Shasta and Aravis! You called it! :) Way to go, girl!<br /><br />Okay, I think I need to read Rilla of Ingleside...<br /><br />TOM AND POLLY! Yes, yes, yes! They are an adorable couple! Aren't you so glad they end up together? Louisa May Alcott certainly knows how to end things satisfactorily. :D<br /><br />Heehee. Neela and "The Guy." I've never heard of this book before, but I just had to comment on your very orginial name choice. "The Guy." I like it. :D <br /><br />Rebecca Randall and Adam Ladd. Yes, of course. They must get married. All the evidence points in that direction. I don't know that there's an actual sequel with the answer to this question, but I think it's safe enough to assume that, that's how it ended. After all, why not? There's on one to tell us different. <br /><br />~Miss MarchMiss Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03088465083055515308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-39435652799351732332015-11-24T16:47:54.173-05:002015-11-24T16:47:54.173-05:00That's okay!

Whereas I relate a bit better to Jill . . . not as well as I relate to Lucy, but then Lucy doesn't have a love interest (like we talked about) so there's no "ship."
