c. s. lewis making his jesus allegory a lion when jesus’ canonical fursona is a lamb……..toxic masculinity
Wasn’t Aslan a God allegory? He created the whole world and all.

“Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say My tooth is aching than to say My heart is broken.”
Turns out people really like me waffling about Narnia on Twitter.
So here’s a more hopeful spin on Susan Pevensie. (From the author’s pen to your eyeballs.)
Well now we need the Susan novel.
“You’re too old for that.”
Is really a shitty concept. You’re too old for everything. Cartoons, sleepovers, candy, etc. Basically, you’re too old for fun. You shouldn’t be too old for fun ever in your life. If you want to watch cartoons, do it! If you want to have sleepovers, do it!
CS Lewis famously said that the intrusive desire to appear grown up all costs was in of itself a childish trait that secure adults should’ve grown out of it.
He worded it that “When I was young I hid my love of fairy tails for fear of ridicule, now that I’m 50 I read them openly”
“You don’t have a soul. You are a soul, you have a body.”
“Here are beauties that pierce like swords and burn like cold iron. Here is a book that will break your heart.”

#’laaaaaame’ - J.R.R. Tolkien on The Chronicles of Narnia (x)
My favorite story is that one time Tolkien was with some writer friends and he was like “oh I’ve got a new story to show you guys” and one of them was like “as long as it’s not more fucking elves”
and it was
it was more fucking elves
This story is better when you know that the writer friend who said that was C.S. Lewis.
