There is a specific and terrifying difference between “never were” monsters and “are not anymore” monsters
“The thing that was not a deer” implies a creature which mimics a deer but imperfectly and the details which are wrong are what makes it terrifying
“The thing that was not a deer anymore” on the other hand implies a thing that USED to be a deer before it was somehow mutated, possessed, parasitically controlled or reanimated improperly and what makes THAT terrifying is the details that are still right and recognizable poking out of all the wrong and horrible malformations.
Three years ago, you found an injured werewolf on the edge of your wards. You took them in, helped them regain their strength, and allowed them to stay for a while in return for some work around the place. They had been incredibly grateful, and mentioned how much of a relief it was to find a safe place for a “monster” such as themselves, when so many would deny them care or outright kill them. The comment stuck with you, and even after they left, you couldn’t make it leave your mind.
Over time, you changed and strengthened your wards turning them into something meant to guide, protect, and offer safety. It didn’t take long for the welcoming magic to draw in a few others as they strayed through your forest, your house now a beacon for those in need, rather than a shielded little bubble of solitude, as it had been for years.
Now, your home is always alive with warmth peace and laughter, the wards and rather blunt rule board above the door and fireplace, ensuring that those who take refuge, know not to start trouble. The few that have tried, are either violently ejected from the premises, thanks to your ever strengthening wards, or removed by other patrons themselves.
Not only is your home a safe space, but it is now also a functioning bar, with food and drink, and even rooms available for those who need to hide and nurse their wounds a while. Supernatural or human, all are welcome to seek refuge. Its strange watching so many walks of life shed their worries at the door and bond with others within the once lonely walls.
Whilst your slowly growing little sanctuary is not very well known yet, the rumours of a safe space are now spreading to others in need. Now, one of the biggest and baddest names in the supernatural world has caught wind of your sanctuary, and decides to see if this is nothing more than another trap, made to prey on those who dwell in the dark, or truly a sanctuary, however unlikely that may be.

okay but nessie was given the scientific name nessiteras rhombopteryx so she’d be included in the conservation of wild creatures and wild plants act of ‘75.
it’s a felony to shoot bigfoot in washington state.
the human race has sent out messages to the stars, hoping that any extraterrestrials who hear will accept our offer of friendship.
ghost hunters extend their sympathy to the souls of murder victims and bring along items that the spirits loved in life.
I think there’s something very human about the desire to believe in the paranormal. we don’t know if any of these things truly exist, but we make the offer of friendship and protection anyway. I just think it’s really lovely in its own ridiculous way.

Aroace Edmund and Lucy?????
Listen. I know that its just a funny quip in a movie that repeatedly forgot that the Pevensies are actually twenty-something year olds in the bodies of children, but, if I can use the writers' sloppiness for my own gains, then I will.
Canon fact: the pevensies spent at least 15 years in narnia. Therefore Lucy was at least 25, and Edmund at least 26 when they came back, and 26/27 by the time of Prince Caspian. Also a fact: they retained all their memories of adulthood.
"I'm sure when I'm older I'll understand." Lucy, by this stage you've lived 26 years of life. If you dont understand yet, I dont think you ever will. The above is a classic line that you might get from aroace who hasn't cottoned on yet to the fact that theyre aroace, and is still waiting for all the mythical "feelings" that others talk of to kick in. I was once that 26 year old oblivious ace myself.
"I'm older and I dont think I want to understand." Classic line you might hear from an aroace who's accustomed to the lack of all those mythical "feelings" that others speak of, and is perfectly content without them, and wouldn't change it if he could. I'm that ace now.
Further supporting evidence: there is no mention of romance for either character in the books. Susan gets a love interest in the Horse and His Boy, but even with Archenland and Calormen full of potential suitors, theres not a word of interest on Ed or Lucy's behalf.
Aroace younger Pevensie siblings.
She/her, aroace ♠️, lover of all things animals, nature, wild, fantasy, cryptid and adventure, or books.
