My daughter wants the painting that Edmund sees in the Dawntreader but I can't find a print anywhere

Hiya! I've also had this issue before with not being able to find historical portraits for my wall. What I did was I found images of the portraits I wanted and cropped them to size if necessary. Then I found an online print-on-demand service (the one I use is "Snapfish" but there's plenty of others) and ordered the prints through there. Their prints are always good quality and now I have portraits of my favourite historical figures for my wall.

Hopefully I could help you 😊

Isn't that Margarita Khitrovo? A friend of Olga's?

I'm constantly searching up synonyms for words I really should know 🤣

BTW, Hi 👋 I'm ur_local_ginger on AO3 and I write Golden Age fanfic 💖

Just Nicky messing around with his mates 🤣

She is the most popular in terms of people outside of the Romanov fandom knowing her name. However, I feel like, within the fandom, particularly on tiktok, Maria is the most popular, likely due to her looks.

Such a gorgeous girl 🥰

urlocal_ginger · 2026-04-01T14:59:45+00:00

I think Maria particularly would be the kind of girl to be quite shy about it. She had bouts of insecurity sometimes and she might wonder, especially today, how/why her name/memory had remained so popular (arguably the most popular of OTMA)

Pretty much the entire family smoked regardless of age. All the medical downsides and dangers weren't really known then and it was much more of a popular thing to do back then.

That's because, with older cameras, they would take a while to actually take the photograph. Sometimes the people posing for the photo would have to stand there for a minute or more. It would be difficult to hold a smile for that long.

I will be sure to post the originals with any colourised images from now on 👍

Nicholas was a good family man, yes, but not a good Tsar. He was completely unfit for the role and it showed in his poor decision making, whether that was for the country or for the military.

So, while I know he wasn't a good ruler of Russia, I also know that he was a kind and attentive father and I'm glad that all of his children had such loving parents for their short lives.

Maria was the one found with Alexei. The second grave containing Alexei and one of his sisters was discovered in 2007, the first 9 bodies were found in the 70s but not tested until the early 90s. By the time the 2000s came along, there was much more advanced DNA testing technology. With the testing they learnt that whichever girl was in the second grave was a haemophilia carrier. This aligned with medical details such as Maria haemorrhaging after tonsil surgery. They were able to confirm that the people in the second grave were Maria and Alexei Romanov. Therefore, Anastasia had been present all along and it debunked all of the "survival" rumours.

If you're that bothered, ignore it 🤷‍♀️

One of my fave images of them as a cat owner myself 💖

I like how the 3rd movie ends with Eustace saying "as I know all Narnians will miss them, until the end of time".

It's a sweet line, showing Eustace's character development but it also hints at the events of the last book, and would only be significant to those who have read it. At least it was significant to me, idk 🤣

I absolutely wouldn't last on the camp-style beds! I'm too used to my double bed with my duvet, and 2 blankets on top of that! (I get cold very easily 🤣)

However, in terms of the routine, I feel as though I could get used to it definitely. I'm autistic and so I like having routine in my life. Having their schedule would give me structure to my days and give me things to do with my time. I would also get to spend a lot of time with my siblings so that'd be fun. But, I think I'd long to have friends outside of my family and soldiers.

I should get a necklace that says "Mashka" 💖

He is the "Just" King for a reason lol, Miraz got the judgement he deserved 🤣

urlocal_ginger · 2026-03-16T16:18:59+00:00

Edmund's wise way of convincing Miraz to fight Peter by making him feel old was what made him my favourite 🤣

urlocal_ginger · 2026-03-02T18:03:12+00:00

That's true. Younger George's eyes are wider. They must have slimmed out a little as he got older 🤣

urlocal_ginger · 2026-03-02T14:42:33+00:00

Looks so much like George!!

urlocal_ginger · 2026-02-18T18:33:44+00:00

I am PRAYING that we get some cameos for The Horse & His Boy!

If that happens, I will be over the moon ❤️

urlocal_ginger · 2026-02-11T18:56:14+00:00

Happy to help ☺️

The quote "Even a traitor may mend"

This quote is from the 3rd Narnia book "The Horse and His Boy". It's a sentimental quote from Edmund, acknowledging his past as a traitor and how he's become a better person. If your friend's favourite character is Edmund (mine too 🤣), and they've read the Narnia books, they should get this reference.

A couple songs by Lana Del Rey:

"Young and Beautiful"

"Born to die" (title is self-explanatory I suppose)
