How Can Anyone Not Love Law???

How can anyone not love Law???

How lawyering works

The opposing party: “Clint Barton is the WORST Avenger since he went into a battle with aliens armed only with a bow and arrow LOL.“

Your argument: “Clint Barton is the best Avenger BECAUSE he went into a battle with aliens armed ONLY with a bow and arrow!”

Okay, but this??? Absolutely perfect! Not that I'm proud of it, but I'm literally just scrolling through tumblr when I should be on my devotional. Thank you guys for the reminder!

1/7

Today was really tiring! Woke up quite soon, cleaned the house, went to the gym, had some friends over, went to church service... God's mercy was all over it.

Even tho it was hard, I stuck to both #nobiblenofood project and #daniel project. Although I didn't do it as good as I should've done, I'm just glad I did it.

it's been fourteen years but i still think of sherlock whenever i'm fumbling to plug my charger into my phone

Couldn't agree with you more! I'm really worried about what Netflix will do with Narnia.

To be honest, I would absolutely love a show about the Golden Age, but only if the producers stuck with the actual core of this wonderful university Lewis created.

there are literally so many reasons why we don't need a third Narnia adaptation

first of all, while they might not be the most accurate, the Disney movies are actually so good and, in my opinion, still manage to capture the heart and soul of the series and what it's truly about. The characters are each perfectly portrayed; the Pevensies act like actual siblings and yet love each other dearly and would die for each other even through all the petty arguments; the music creates perfect atmosphere and emotion and never fails to make me tear up or get shivers down my spine; and the CGI is honestly just absolutely stunning.

I really do not feel like we need another adaptation by Netflix.

Especially not through Netflix.

Netflix has already been known to mess up so many shows and movies by completely changing the source material or adding in unnecessary things that completely take away from the purpose of the story. I can already see them warping Narnia into something that barely even resembles the books, that strips it of its purpose and simply makes it about a fantasy world, nothing more. I've already seen posts saying that the new movies just can't end the way the books end, that heaven must be explained away, that Susan never forgets and falls down a dark path, that the faith aspect must be taken out so as not to offend new viewers.

Here's the thing.

If you take faith out of Narnia, you remove the very heart of the series. you remove the entire purpose. Because Narnia is entirely about faith, and trust, and Someone greater than yourself who sacrifices everything to save your own traitorous soul. the Disney movies did not shy away from portraying this faith as openly as possible. if anyone was offended, I've never seen proof. I have seen many nonbelievers talk about how much they were affected by Aslan's death, which goes to show that you simply don't have to be Christian to understand what Narnia is about, and to love and enjoy it.

So if these new remakes remove the faith aspect, then what is the point? four siblings go to a magical land and save it from a witch and befriend a talking lion with nothing special about him and live there as kings and queens and return home and live happily ever after? there is no sacrifice, there is no "he's not tame, but he is good," there is no creation, there is no redemption, there is no last battle, there is no "in your world, I have another name", there is no sister straying down a dark path because she has forgotten how to hope, and then returning because her story is unfinished and the road to heaven is paved with flowers that symbolize her name.

so then, what are you left with? Aslan is just a talking lion, nothing more. the stone table never cracks, the sun never rises. "That by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there" is forgotten entirely, because why would Aslan exist in our world if he is merely a talking lion in Narnia? Aslan's country is changed to be something else, and there is nothing about how Aslan suddenly no longer looks like a lion, and how the things that happened after are more great and beautiful than can be described. Edmund's life is never threatened because of his traitorous deeds; Aslan never offers his own life in place of a guilty boy, is never killed, is never resurrected.

the very core of Narnia is removed, and what you are left with is emptiness.

sure, it might make for a good fantasy story nonetheless. you might still have sweeping views and epic music and an intriguing plotline, but something will always feel like it is missing. like there is an empty hole, desperately needing to be filled.

of course, I don't know that all of that will happen; it's just speculation at this point. But I am fairly sure that it is safe to predict these upcoming movies as such. I highly doubt the producers will want to include the faith that shapes Narnia, because according to them, having a faith aspect means less viewers since too many people would be offended.

but if only they would look at the already wonderful existing adaptations, they would know that is simply not the case.

Coffeeshops that are also a bookshop really are something else... Hope I'll have the chance to finally find one in a near future.

School's paperwork got me trying coffee two years ago (I hated it at the time) and now I absolutely love it! Enjoying a good coffe in my favorite mug while studying or just reading my favorite books makes everything a lot better.
