I'm gonna stay here for Christmas though so I reckon I actually have to buy Christmas presents for people this time. UGH WITH WHAT MONEY. MAYBE I WILL JUST GIVE THEM PAPER SNOWFLAKES GODDAMN.
I've watched the first 4 episodes excepting Wendigo 'cos I watched the last ten minutes of it, like, forever ago.
It's like Lewis talks entirely in tropes without fleshing anything out, so it's easy to flesh it in any direction you please. I loved critiquing Lewis when I first starting writing Narnia fic, but now I feel like the tables have turned, because now I actually enjoy theology, and it's all because of overanalyzing Narnia. I've become more sympathetic to the religious mind and somewhere Lewis is laughing at me I'm sure.
didn't notice the religious subtext as a child, and only returned to it when they were older. This is me. My third grade teacher read it to us in class and even showed us a video, but it didn't occur to me that it was Christian at all. I was only vaguely interested in the first Narnia movie, but then PC came out and I fell hard in love because it totally brought up what horrified me about the LWW ending. And THEN I started reading the entire Chronicles, and was amused/horrified (amurified?!) at how blatant and clumsy they are. I like Narnia's questions, but not their answers, I guess.
