“Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things―trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Silver Chair

“Something I heard an archaeologist say in Oslo about deep time returns to me: Time isn’t deep, it is always already all around us. The past ghosts us, lies all about us less as layers, more as drift. […] The problem is not that things become buried deep in strata – but that they endure, outlive us, and come back at us with a force we didn’t realise they had. […] We all carry trace fossils within us – the marks that the dead and the missed leave behind. Handwriting on an envelope; the wear on a wooden step left by footfall; the memory of a familiar gesture by someone gone, repeated so often it has worn its own groove in both air and mind: these are trace fossils too. Sometimes, in fact, all that is left behind by loss is trace – and sometimes empty volume can be easier to hold in the heart than presence itself.”

— Robert Macfarlane, Underland: A Deep Time Journey

Oscar-nominee Sandra Hüller narrates this cinematic adaptation of Robert Macfarlane's bestselling book, UNDERLAND.

The documentary voyages into worlds rarely glimpsed by human eyes to explore the world beneath our feet. One not of fear and darkness, but rather of knowledge and wonder that can be found nowhere else. Beginning in the shallow soils beneath an old ash tree, we travel alongside several ‘astronauts of the underworld’ into ancient sacred caves, flooded storm drains, melting glaciers, underwater burial chambers and a deep underground laboratory built to solve the mysteries of the Universe.

UNDERLAND dives deep into the Earth to present a groundbreaking vision for rethinking our lives on this fragile surface.

Like obviously I don’t want them to stop bc all the songs are peak (kicks that one song to a corner) no that’s not there wdym—

Anyways like I’m wondering (pun unintended) bc like there are only so many characters

So far we’ve had:

Idk if Ra*bits were the White Rabbit or March Hare

The Card Soldiers

Mad Hatter

Cheshire Cat

Blue Caterpillar

Queen of Hearts

Obviously we still need an “Alice” (I actually gave this role to one of my OC units for now. Used to be the Queen of Hearts but I had changed it even before Red Garden came out bc I listened to Noah by Phantom Siita)

Other potential charas left with possible unit matchups:

Tweedledee and Tweedledum (I will genuinely be surprised if they do this and it isn’t 2wink)

Duchess (saw somewhere this was originally fine’s offered theme but they couldn’t do it)

Jabberwocky (Crazy:B would lowkey bee fire but so would valk)

White Queen (pls it would be so cool if they did a white queen song)

King of Hearts

Knave of Hearts?

Dormouse

Flowers

Flamingos?

Ok in hindsight there are a lot more than I realized but still you get the point
