colinodonoghue1: Rest in Peace Chris! Heartbroken! My love and thoughts go out to Erin and the boys! You will be missed brother! You were the real captain!!
Kinda want to do a virtual Peter Pan book club similar to “Dracula Daily” but it’s only 17 chapters long so it would be super short… But it would be fun to go through the story with people who have never read the original for themselves and with others who have read it before but want to go back and take a closer look at it together. Would anybody actually want to do something like this?
Imagine-
Disney Villain sidekicks assuring you that villain's crazy about you when they're
distracted by their villainy for a long time.
"Listen to me, toots, Jafar's crazy aboutcha! And I'm not just saying that, really, I mean- I think he's stealin' your underwear. But not just that! I also think, if ya left him- we'd all be dead! Yeah! So come on, lets put a smile back on that dial, yeah? We cant have ya mopin' around... what no I don't care about you, you're the only one that gives me the good snacks!" - Iago
"Nooooo, hahaha, no no no, Hades isn't getting bored of you! Stop crying, stop crying!" "Yeah! No! He's just busy! Running the underworld is no piece of cake, you know?" "Uhuh, uhuh, uhuh- " "I'm sure, after things die down, he'll pop up right back here again and give ya a BIG kiss." "Absolutely! Now eat your dinner, Hades'll kill us if he finds out we came and didn't feed you like he told us!" "Ohhhhhhh... hey, Panic, maybe we shoulda just said THAT when they started crying." "Oh Gods." - Pain and Panic
"What- what's happening here?" "They're crying, Banzai, you moron! Whatdaya thinks happening??" "Well what am I supposed to do about it!?" "Comfort them!!" "Okay, yeah I get that, BUT HOW!?" 'Ugh, get outta my way. Hey Y/N, uh... Scar's just... pent up at the moment! He'll stop being a dick real soon!" "Well would look at that, Shenzi!- you made them worse!" "Well why don't you try, meathead!?" "Would you stop calling me names!?- " "Wait- hold on hold on- what's Ed doing?" "Wha?- " "Is he... is that a hug?" "Maybe???" "It seems like its workin', lets just back away... " - Shenzi, Banzai and Ed
"Oh, Y/N, the Prince is just... temperamental. You cant take it to heart! Lord knows I don't, and I have proper reason to!- No, no, no, not that you don't have good reason to be upset, that's not what I meant!! Oh dear, oh dear... Look, PJ does love you! He's just got a lot on his mind right now, what with Robin Hood making him look a fool, and all... Right? Right. Come along now, we'll have some sweets from the kitchen, would that cheer you up?" - Sir Hiss
"Come on, Y/N... Gaston's not trying to make you feel bad, he just doesn't notice! What? That's not better?? Okay- Uh... You know what always cheers me up when he's been a big old meanie?? I remember how great he is. Lets do it! Together! Okay- NOOO OOOONEEES- oh, they're not singing with me... uh... Uh uh uh- Heyy, why dont you stare into the fire a while?, it helps when Gaston's in a funk or OH!- What about a foot massage? Gaston says I'm good at that!- " - LeFou
"Oh dear dear dear- The Captain isn't going to leave you, Y/N! He's just excited, is all! Thinks he's got a real shot at Pan this time, he does! Like a kid at Christmas! I'm sure, once he's done with the poor boy he'll run right back here and apologise- he really doesn't mean to be rude, you know!! He just forgets his head sometimes! Now sit down, sit down, I'll make you some tea and you'll feel good as new no time." - Mr Smee
They aren't great at it but they're trying XDD
(You've gotta try and imagine them in their voices XD Especially Iago and Smee)
My condolences and thoughts are with Chris Gauthier's family at the moment after he passed away on Friday aged only 48.
The signed photograph above was a present for an interview I did about his life from being born in my hometown to becoming an actor in Canada. We exchanged a lot of emails, and Chris was the most jovial, bizarrely humoured, genuinely nice guy.
I even met his mother and had the pleasure of her visiting for tea. She was incredibly proud of all her sons, and my thoughts are with her, his wife and children & all those who knew Chris & our mourning his loss.
“What good is kindness like that?” Uh, I don’t know… The kind of goodness that leads to a redemption arc for Hook, maybe?
Mr. Smee is a pure cinnamon roll of a character who deserves so much more appreciation. Hook may be my favorite Peter Pan character, but Mr. Smee is a very close second. I mean, really, how do you not like Smee?
