#so if we're going down that road why are you simplifying those themes to 'hook sexy peter immature

[atlantic-riona]

full offense but if you write a book about Neverland or Peter Pan and have there be a romance between Wendy and Hook I am sending you outside to consider your crimes. don't bother coming back inside until you repent

#'ooooooh captain hook is so sexy let's do a love triangle—' #do you hear yourself? why are you sexualizing a story meant for children #really think about that for a second #because you could go and write an original story about a woman who travels to a magic land and meets a sexy pirate or whatever #so why do you want to take a character who is a child and hook her up with a character who's an adult #and is also directly thematically tied to her father #(if you consider that in stage productions and movies hook is always played by the same actor for mr. darling) #(AND FURTHERMORE) #(one might argue that Peter Pan Hook and Mr. Darling represent the boy who won't grow up #the man who didn't grow up and the man who did grow up) #so if we're going down that road why are you simplifying those themes to 'hook sexy peter immature #literally do not talk to me until you have reread the original and considered the actual themes and takeaways from it #I rank this as a worse crime than taking a beloved magic land like Wonderland Oz or Neverland and going #'ooooh what if it was DARK and EDGY and ACTUALLY EVIL' #just stop #go make your own edgy original world #leave the beloved classics that you clearly do not understand alone #but anyway back to my original point: do not do this #if you think to yourself that children's classics need more sex or edginess they don't!! that's the devil speaking #hope this helps #peter pan
