unpopular opinion: turkish delight is NOT GROSS it’s a perfectly good dessert and it’s not CS Lewis’ fault that you didn’t know what it was when you were a kid and were disappointed when you found out it was made of ordinary tasty ingredients like sugar and nuts and not actual magic
like, a turkish kid who grew up reading roald dahl’s rhapsodic odes
to cadbury chocolate bars would probably be disappointed if he
eventually ate one but that’s not because chocolate is bad it’s because
nothing can live up to a child’s imagination
it’s LITERALLY stated in text that that PARTICULAR batch of turkish delight was ENCHANTED to be supernaturally moreish, CS Lewis never claimed that all turkish delight was life-changingly delicious please calm all the way down
Also sugar was rationed so imagine not being able to have any kind of sweet and then having MAGIC SUGARY GOODNESS with NUTS
can you imagine if coronavirus happened in like 2013. this site would be like “ALRIGHT LISTEN UP MOTHERFUCKERS TODAY YOU ARE GOING TO DO A LEARN ABOUT ~SOCIAL DISTANCING~”
LUCKILY FOR *YOU* HANDSOME BASTARDS, OUR LORD AND SAVIOR BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH IS E X A C T L Y SIX FEET TALL.
SO NEXT TIME YOU’RE CHILLING WITH YOUR MOIRAILS, IMAGINE A BEAUTIFUL BENDYPOO LYING ARSE NEKKID ON THE FLOOR BETWEEN YOU.
CAN’T FIT A WHOLE SHERLOCK?
THEN YOU’RE T O O F U C K I N G C L O S E GOD DAMN IT.
