what’s the first movie y'all remember seeing in the movie theaters as a kid?? mine is sam raimi’s spiderman
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) babbbbyyyyy!!!
by C. S. Lewis
What’s it about?
It’s about a bunch of kids who find a magical fantasy world in the back of a rural wardrobe while they’re “on holidays” from London.
Don’t tell me. It’s really about World War II.
Funnily enough, no. It’s really about - and you’ll like this - Christianity. Although if you’ve read Game of Thrones and you can’t deal with a book failing to deliver the war story you were expecting, you should present yourself to the relevant authorities at first light.
We already have a book about Christianity. It’s quite famous.
Lewis himself stated that the book is an allegory designed to introduce the themes of Christianity (sacrifice, resurrection etc.) to young people.
Can’t I just enjoy a story anymore?
Yes you can. You can completely ignore the religious overtones and just enjoy the story.
Which is?
With the help of some friends, four children save a wintery hellscape from an evil witch.
What should I say to make people think I’ve read it?
Pretty much any reference to the back of a wardrobe.
What should I avoid saying when trying to convince people I’ve read it?
“So which one of these people represents the Nazis?”
Should I actually read it?
A cautious yes. It’s a children’s book, and the religious stuff is heavy-handed, but it’s fun.
More Narnia wallpapers!
Here’smy redbubble store where you can find most of the things I’ve posted here as stickers or prints or more :)
You can find this one here.
Edmund! I’ve been rewatching the narnia movies and I don’t think I draw the Pevensies nearly enough. As always, let me know what you think :)
Nothing more lovely than this two characters meeting up for the first time.

Books, Tea, and the Trinity: Healthy Waldorf Salad
Back in 2020, some friends and I started a Tea Party/Bible Study/Book Club. We met every Wednesday and worked our way through the Chronicles of Narnia and are currently working through the Lorien Legacies. When we started I resolved to share all the recipes, something I am trying to catch up on. All the recipes from our book club will no longe shave the book’s name at the front of the title but…
Yeah, I think things said by Jesus’s fursona are allowed to be raw.
