Lewis, grimly, in the voice of one who has fought the same nemesis for a lifetime: I knew those dentists.

Lewis: I know this is almost inconceivable...
Me, brain visibly melting out onto the floor: no, please, keep going.

Lewis what have you got against cucumbers?

Lewis: (explains away the problem of freewill vs. predestination via God being outside of time as if it's the most effortless thing in the world)
Me, brain exploding: ok cool

Lewis: everyone told me not to tell you this.
Lewis: ...so I'm going to tell you anyway! :D
Lewis: everyone said the ordinary reader doesn't want theology
Me: YES SHE DOES
Lewis: but why should you be treated like children? :)
Lewis: anyway here's this story about a time I got heckled lol

"man should lead because without her naturally gentle Emotional Support Husband, Woman's unchecked bloodlust will rain down terror without mercy upon all those who dare threaten whom she loves" is truly the Hottest Take Lewis has presented thus far

but considering it means Lewis regards all womankind with the same fear and awe generally reserved for Lady Galadriel, I'm not mad about it. ;)

C.S. Lewis: compares the popular, sentimental, fictional idea of irresistibly, uncontrollably falling in love…to catching measles.

:)

ah, logical thinking, my beloved.
