#turkish delight

The point is that she asked him what he wanted to eat and he said “Turkish Delight”, so, regardless of how good Turkish Delight is objectively, it’s something Edmund likes. And she is giving him what he likes so at the start she’s paying attention to his opinions. And Edmund has to learn that just because someone gives you what you want doesn’t mean they have your best interest at heart.

every time someone makes a counter argument to people who say 'why would edmund sell out his family for some turkish delight it's gross' with 'it was war time and there was a ration on sugar' or countless other defences of the choice of sweet my eye twitches cos like yeh that IS true (as well as turkish delight probably being a novelty in the uk at the time to feel like an indulgent treat whereas it's much more common place now, it's also quite a bit different from a lot of traditional british sweets lol... like imagine if c.s. lewis had gone for a stick of rock instead lol like the sentiment just wouldn't feel the same imo lol) but the thing is... that TOTALLY misses the point of why edmund made that decision lol

like, you have to remember that at the beginning of the story edmund is feeling resentful and bitter towards his other siblings and the rest of his family. he wasn't as confident as peter or as intelligent as susan or as sweet as lucy, he felt undervalued and under-appreciated by everyone in his life so it's fairly clear that when he meets a beautiful woman offering him (and him alone) all the sweets he could ever eat and a seat next to her ruling an entire kingdom away from his siblings and the rest of his family? like of COURSE he would have jumped at that opportunity lol!

like edmund's whole arc in the story is to being less selfish and to realise his family DOES value & love him lol it's not a complicated message to get behind lol but idk people get fixated on the turkish delight thing (a bit how people get fixated on the door thing in titanic but like that's an argument for another day lol) that they kinda forget what c.s. lewis was trying to actually say with that part of the story lol

I tried the rose flavoured turkish delight for the first time about a month ago, and I'll admit, I would do literally anything to eat them again, so Edmund Pevensie, I do match your freak sir, i totally get it.

Welcome back Sundrop, Moondrop & Lunar.

I hope you three had a good time for rest and relaxation. If it's okay for me to ask this, what have you three been up to?

Oh! Before i forget, I brought you some welcome back treats I thought you might enjoy. The pink ones is rose flavor, and the yellows one is lemon flavor.

They were mostly busy patching things up.
