susan's little smile and quiet "thanks" when father christmas gives her the horn fucks me UP man like she's been so snarky and sensible and defensive the entire movie (even making that comment about "whatever happened to 'battles are ugly affairs'?" when he gives her the bow and quiver just seconds before) and then he looks at her and he sees her and he says here is a way to get help when you need it, no matter what. and you can see clearer than you've ever seen it that susan is scared. susan is so fucking scared. she's trying so hard to Be An Adult, to be the responsible one, the smart one, the one who has her head on straight. her mother told her to be a big girl and she's doing her damndest but she's just a kid! she's a scared kid and she has no one but her siblings to turn to and edmund's gone and lucy's so small and peter, bless him, is peter, so she's got to keep HIS head on straight too, and there's a war back home and a war here and she's supposed to fight in it, and everyone keeps calling her queen and telling her she's got some great and violent destiny, and susan pevensie is scared. and nobody really gets or acknowledges that, i think, until father christmas meets her gaze and gives her the horn. the horn and the quiver. her own sort of shield. does anyone else think about this. can anybody hear me. HELLO.
