"But who is he, my pet?"

"He is Peter Pan, you know, mother."

At first Mrs. Darling did not know, but after thinking back into her childhood she just remembered a Peter Pan who was said to live with the fairies. There were odd stories about him, as that when children died he went part of the way with them, so that they should not be frightened. She had believed in him at the time, but now that she was married and full of sense she quite doubted whether there was any such person.

-Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie

Okay, I have never actually read this book before. I've just seen the movies. So I went into this being sure I knew what I was getting.

Anyway, it turns out this book is insane. THE DOG IS SENTIENT. They tallied up the money to debate giving Wendy and the boys away (that may just be depressing)! The mother handles Peter's shadow and doesn't even question someone's shadow being ripped off!

The dog is sentient! Also, Peter might be a psychopomp?

Here''s some Peter Pan fanart recs:

Lovely little illustration of the Darlings and Peter flying

Another by the same artist. Poor Wendybird :(

And some more!

Elaborate, energetic piece. SPOT THE HIDDEN HORROR

Captain Hook and Tinkerbell. my favourite part is actually her anklet and his frilly sleeve.

A cover from one of Boom Studios Muppet comics, Muppet Peter Pan. Also in that vein: Gonzo Hook, Tinkerpiggy, Tinkerpiggy and Kermit Pan, and finally Kermit Pan

Cute little cartoony Peter and Tink

A keen version of the home the Lost Boys live in

Ann is trying to tell me there's textual evidence that Hook was thrown out of the school he taught at for being a pedo. I am afeared because Ann only lies to me when it's funny
