It was originally made in 1948 to be played by hospitalized children suffering from polio, and the whole reason it has such a sweet and saccharine aesthetic is because those ill children needed some kind of escapism.
Also yeah I’m going to be 41 next month and I learned about gentrification only cause I saw it being the basis for the MGaDD episode Like Mother, Like Moon Girl.
what if we are really just trapped in an intense game of candyland, and everything we see and hear and experience is just our imaginations of what candyland is like.
So, Marigold, by “gentrified” you mean the inhabitants decided to keep the forest clean and become friendlier to visitors, newcomers, and each other? Peppermint Forest is part of Candy Land, so it should be friendly.
I just realized, in “Calvin and Hobbes”, they’ve played Monopoly, but I’m actually kinda surprised that they never played Candyland. I wonder how Calvin would react to that?

Candy Land has kind of a sad backstory.

Candyland. ❤
I’m getting Charlie the Unicorn vibes, though, LOL. You ever been to Candy Mountain, Marigold?
Or you could try visiting the land of Monopoly? It’ll be fun, I promise!

Marigold, what would you know about plumbing in the Peanut Brittle House? Putting it gently don’t you do your “business” outdoors ?!

“Gentrified”? Sounds like the opposite to me… Candyland is turning into a dump, not the other way around…?

maybe candyland was actually created by world-faring unicorns?

I hate that Queen Frostine, husband of King Candy and mother of Princess Lollipop, has been reconned.
She’s now Princess Frostine, elder daughter of King Candy and Princess Lolipop’s older sister
