This isn't crazy related, but in the best love story ever told the devil Helvi refers to her adorable husband's lips/chastity as a juicy fruit a few times and it's so fucking hot and cute.
Sorry for interrupting. I just felt like fruit fans should know.

Yeah, it is. Lychee is good shit, but it can get almost sickly sweet. Mangosteen is sweet, too, but has enough tartness to keep it from getting overwhelming. Just wish they weren't so expensive over here.

My father has a few of these trees, I absolutely vacuum the trees/ground when it’s in season (winter). You have to eat them when they’re very soft and close to being rotten (i.e ‘bletted’) or else they’re shit.
