#also he's giving me major peter pan vibes

BEOMGYU : TEMPTATION (daydream ver.)

[panthera-tigris-venenata]

Um. My personal opinion about the Rise of Red costumes we've seen so far ✨

Red

It's giving major D3 motocycle gear except girlie doesn't have a motorcycle

It's just. Leather. Red leather. Okay, and??

The hood is cool I guess

It's less of an eyesore than Chloe's costume so there's that

Chloe

It's just so bright

There's nothing else going on than that colour

Well that colour and Darling Charming wanna be. I mean. Blue curls. Sword. Association with Wonderland. Self-centered older brother. They're not even trying.

The Red Queen

Honestly one of my favourites

Also single colour but it's darker red in the promo shots we got so it doesn't hurt to look at as much

She kinda slays tbh

The Red Queen

Bubblegum bitch (tm)

Yeah I've got nothing else to add

Queen Cinderella

Do I like the older-version-characters more because they're muted colours and therefore more comfortable to look at?

Well maybe. Sue me.

Uma

Uma is my favourite character from Descendants and I really wanna like her RoR design

But it's just. It's theatre costume y'know? Nothing to get her respect.

I know she would rather die that wear FG-like costumes but still

Tbh it's giving those trashy-but-wannabe-rich 16 yo girls that you'd see smoking behind the school, trying to look older than they are. Up to the giant loop earrings.

I love the glam for her but please. Some moderation?

My favorite of what we've seen is the one from the teaser, that was a good look on her.

Maleficent

She looks like hipster-wanna be that was bullied in middle school

But tbh I'm kinda into it

Proper kinda cringe highschool look, y'know. Proper era too.

Ulyana

Another of my favourite designs

Her outfit seems less chaotic than Uma's

It's still Uma copycat tho but better than I've feared

Hook

Look give than mf a red coat, eyeliner, and a hook and you've got nothing to lose

Kinda missing the madness but since it's probably before a single encounter with the menace known as Peter Pan I am willing to let that slide

They really went for the gentleman pirate vibe and it's cool, on the promo shot it's one of the least costume-y designs

Like yeah he wears this every day. I can totally believe that. Him and Red Queen, yes please, do give me that proper villain drama.

Morgie

Idk what's going on with him

I think I'm bothered by his hair and the scarf. Simply because I find these uncomfortable

Honestly giving same gentle-something vibe as Hook and that's not fine, try to keep it unique pls.

Like, looks like Ulyana actually gets shit done, Hook, ehm, persuades people to do shit for him, and Morgie is just leaning back at chair, siping wine, and going „Marvelous job darling, do keep it up~“

Fairy Godmother & Zelie??

They're still bullied in highschool.

Idk if we got any promoshots of them?? But I feel like they're gonna give the same era as Maleficent and Hades.

Hades

Same cringefail vibe as Maleficent (affectionate) (& the correct era), kinda love that for him tbh

TTPD Notes - The Anthology

TTPD Notes Glossary

“imgonnagetyouback”  

Not sure of the timing on this one  

But you know who rides motorcycles? Harry. Not Matty.

Also, this song gives me major Grammy Feb. 2023 vibes. God, what a night that was. ::stares wistfully into the middle distance::  

Also, I just think it’s funny to make yet another joke about him wrecking a vehicle. lol. 

"The Albatross"  

Definitely written pre Eras Tour  

To meeee this one smacks of the Olivia Wilde scandal and Taylor being the first one to jump up and clap for Harry when people started shouting Beyoncé should have won the Album of the Year Grammy instead of him. 

Interesting that whole thing ended up hitting Olivia way harder than Harry, if it even hit him at all; I'd argue it did not. Fucking sucks to be a woman. (“Life was always easier on you than it was on me.”) 

I tie the secret message for 1989’s “Wildest Dreams” (“He only saw her in his dreams”) to this one because of the line “But I’d visit in your dreams/And they tried to warn you about me.”

"Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus"  

I believe we’ll learn someday this what written pre-Eras Tour  

The hologram with the multiple people running fingers through the persons hair reminded me of the music video for “Lights Up.”  

I was immediately reminded of “Exile” at the line “you saw my bones out with somebody new (Calvin Harris at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards) who seemed like he would’ve bullied you in school/and you just watched it happened.”  

Side note: I love the play on words with “you saw my bones out” as in the action of watching versus the action of sawing. Genius.  

Also, is she talking about herself as bones because she was at the height of her eating disorder then? :/  

Also also, this song gave me a tummy ache. I need hospitalization after this album.  

“I Look in People’s Windows”  

I think this was recorded pre-Eras Tour.  

I adore this song; I just wish it was three times as long  

I don’t think it’s Peter’s perspective, as some have theorized. I think it’s Taylor’s.  

I do think this is a strong contender for a pining Haylor tune. They shared a city for a long time.  

“The Alchemy”  

Clearly not Travis. Once again, I feel like everyone has lost their minds and ability to comprehend words. The football references are just metaphors, coincidental in hindsight.

She’s talks about someone, likely the muse, seeing her like heroin, but this time with an E, like a heroine (get it?).

And she talks about getting together with someone from her past. Not meeting someone new. “This happens every few lifetimes.” “What if I told you I’m back?…I haven’t come around in so long? I’m coming back so strong.” “Hey, you, what if I told you we're cool? That child's play back in school. Is forgiven under my rule.” This is a ex who fucked up when they were young that she feels like she belongs with, and she is running back to after a long time away.

I had thought at first this was about Matty, but he’s not on much of a winning streak. H is, though. Also, @foxes-that-run reminded me of Harry’s old “sign in his heart” (his the love banner tattoo).

Also: Alchemy…gold rush?? Come on, guys.

"Peter"  

I think this was also written pre-Eras Tour, probably pre-Joe break up, too  

A call back to “Peter losing Wendy” in “Cardigan”  

Also reminds me of the pining in “Ivy” (“The old widow goes to the stone every day. But I don’t. I just sit here and wait, grieving for the living.”)  

Ongoing references to the moon and space between these two...“We both did the best we could/underneath the same moon/in different galaxies” 

More thoughts on Peter

Makes me want to die

"Robin"  

Another pre-Eras tour track, I’d wager  

I think this is also about the muse of Peter Pan. I have seen people say it's about Robin Williams or a child/Aaron Dessner's kid, but she put it on her Apple Music "Denial" playlist. Also, the "slow ticking clock on a string," like the one Peter Pan uses to bait the crocodile? I think it's just another song about how Harry won't grow up but their group of friends all love him and coddle him anyway. Now, to me, that makes sense on the denial playlist.  

Interesting that this song and "Fresh Out the Slammer" both talk about swing sets.  

Also, the trampoline reference reminded me of Harry's line from "Little Freak," "golf swing and a trampoline, maybe we'll do this again."

More thoughts on Robin

[jeonghoneyss]

for the ask game: 10, 15, 20, 22, 24, and 30? <33

hii! i hope you're well, thanks for the ask! <33

10: What fic made you feel the happiest to work on?

I was happiest, I think, when writing my junhao fic! It gave me no end of trouble when I was trying to tie all the loose ends together, but when I was just writing the Vibes I had the time of my life!

15: Rec a fic you wrote or posted in 2023

I am going to recommend my jeongbin gym bros fic. I will be honest, the majority of this was written back in 2021 - but I wrote the last half and finished it up this year, so it still counts haha.

20: Share your favourite ending line

I'm going to cheat and give you three lines, but my favourite ending is the ending of my junhao fic - I had a lot of trouble trying to think of a good way to finish the story, but in the end, I think this fits quite well.

‘Soonyoung brought back a relic,’ Minghao says, carefully. ‘We won’t have to go back for a while. We could — ’ He stops, for a moment, tips his head all the way back. ‘We could do something. Or go somewhere.’ ‘How about,’ Junhui suggests, ‘somewhere very far from the sea.’ And Minghao looks at him, and slips his fingers into Junhui’s, and laughs.

22: Share an excerpt from your favourite scene

So this is another excerpt from my junhao fic because I had it open and it was the only thing I could think of haha. In this scene, I like the way Minghao's Oddness is expanded on, a bit, and the way they both know what they saw, but are pretending they didn't because it's safer that way. I don't know. Mostly it's the vibes.

And it’s — really nice, actually, standing here in the kitchen with Minghao, getting dinner ready and talking about nothing much, and Junhui is finally feeling like Minghao might be softening towards him, just the slightest. And then Minghao’s knife slips. And it goes deep into his finger. And he pulls it out, and Junhui scrabbles for some bandages, but when he finally finds some, Minghao’s finger is fine. It’s not bleeding. Or — there’s no blood, but there’s water, a lot of it, and Minghao’s shoulders go up to his ears when he takes the bandages from Junhui and tries to sort his finger out himself. Junhui feels faint. ‘You’re bleeding,’ he informs Minghao. Informs his mind, his traitorous mouth. He knows what saltwater smells like. ‘You’re bleeding, there’s so much blood.’ And he takes Minghao’s finger and keeps his eyes studiously on the floor as he dips it into the basin and bandages it up. ‘There was so much blood,’ Junhui insists, once he’s done. He doesn’t want to think about it. He won’t. Minghao looks at him, once, quickly, searchingly. He’s pale. Junhui does his best to drain the seawater from his eyes.   ‘Blood everywhere,’ Minghao mumbles. He turns away from Junhui. Lets Junhui nudge him out of the way and wash the herbs. ‘I saw it,’ Junhui tells the pans, and they finish cooking in silence.

24: What's something that surprised you while you were working on a fic? Did it change the story?

So this year, Versity and I wrote a fic together. I've never collabed on a story before, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well our writing styles meshed, and how fun (and funny) she was to write with, and how smoothly the whole process went! Our finished story was very much something I wouldn't have come up with by myself, so I suppose you could say it changed the story?

30: What's something that you want to write in 2024?

Allow me to tell you about an idea I had a few hours ago, after we talked about Descendants earlier haha. Jafar briefly turns into a genie at some point in the original movie, and I thought - what if Jay was a little bit genie, too? He wouldn't necessarily know, on the Isle, since the barrier blocks their magic and all. So in 2024 I'd like to write a fic exploring that, how Jay might discover his genie magic in Auradon, how it might work. Also - I don't know if you've read J M Barrie's Peter Pan, but good form/bad form is a huge thing to his Hook (his Hook went to Eton, if my memory serves me correctly), and I thought it'd be very interesting to see what that might mean for Harry Hook, especially given the general lawlessness of the Isle.

[peachcitt]

hey Peach, certified book rec list enabler friend here, can you give us a list of those classic lit recs? 👀

HEY MIA

so i know you asked specifically for classic lit for beginners and i think that is a fantastic idea for a book rec list but im going to give some disclaimers

DISCLAIMERS:

these are simply classic lit books that i like

classic lit books that i like tend to be easier reads FOR ME, not necessarily for other people

my personal definition of "classic lit" is incredibly loose

under the cut is each book with an elaboration on what it's about/what to look out for/my thoughts on it which got a little long, so here's a snapshot of each of the books i included on this list:

Much Ado About Nothing (Shakespeare)

Lady Audley's Secret (Braddon)

Brave New World (Huxley)

Peter Pan (Barrie)

Frankenstein (Shelley)

Dracula (Stoker)

Olive (Craik)

Herland (Gilman)

At Night All Blood is Black (Diop)

Fun Home (Bechdel)

so anyway here are my recs in no particular order

Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare

by far my favorite shakespeare play - it's truly funny and emotional when it needs to be, and snappy and bickeringly in love benedick and beatrice really steal the show here. reading it is fun, but since it's a play i'll say my favorite adaptation is the stage production with david tennant and catherine tate as benedick and beatrice. there's also a web series adaptation on youtube that is absolutely phenomenal

2. Lady Audley's Secret by Mary Elizabeth Bradden

by far my favorite book that i've ever had to read for a class !! this is a mystery novel from the mid-1800s, and it's GRIPPING. it follows a distinctly queer-coded lawyer whose best friend goes missing around the time that he meets the lawyer's new hot young step-aunt. i actually posted an alternate ending on ao3 a while ago (it was my final assignment for the class) (i got a good grade). the language in this book is relatively easy to follow, and there's a lot of interesting stuff happening with gender/women/sexuality in there. i cannot recommend this book enough

3. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

a fun dystopia from the 1920s! i think if you wanted to get English Major about it, this is a great companion read for 1984 because of how both of these books are dystopias that revolve around what freedom of speech/thought might mean, but they address that idea in complete opposite ways- compelling! while 1984 is all about repression through submission, brave new world is about repression through overt sexuality and substance abuse. i think 1984 is good, but brave new world is a better read; it's emotionally investing and impactful with the words it chooses to use. there's some race/gender/sexuality tension in there that i think is really interesting. reading it in high school changed my life a bit i think.

4. Peter Pan by James Barrie

i think we're all pretty familiar with the story of peter pan, but reading the original text is just a whole other beast. it's a short read, so it can be pretty casual to just pick up. it's a profoundly weird story and i think more people should know about that. a lot of race/gender/age stuff going on there

5. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

a given. a bit of a slower read at points, but i've always thoroughly enjoyed reading frankenstein. key things that i like: the russian doll format, how stupid victor frankenstein is, henry<3, the creature<3

6. Dracula by Bram Stoker

also a given. all the tumblrinas should know about this one. key things that i like: the polyamory vibes, quincey morris<3, jonathan harker<3, mina<3. also how bloody and graphic it is<3

7. Olive by Dinah Mulock Craik

this is a relatively little-known marriage plot novel from the later end of the 1800s and i gotta say. i was Into It the whole time. of course there's some weird stuff in there, but overall this is a book about a girl with a physical disability that gets to be in love and be loved with a happy ending (!!). that kind of thing was nearly unheard of back then, and so even though the language/treatment of all characters isn't perfect, it's really genuine in what it wants to say (which is that people with disabilities deserve love and happy endings). it's a pretty religiously dogmatic text, so be aware of that. the copy of olive that i have came with craik's short story The Half-Caste which is ! well it's a short read and it's a weird one!

8. Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

an early 1900s utopian novel! this one is particularly interesting because there's three (or four, can't remember) male main characters who end up stumbling upon a secret society comprised of only women that is essentially a utopia. how each man reacts to seeing women control, live, and thrive in their own society is really pointed. obviously a lot of gender/sexuality stuff happening in there. my only disclaimer for this one is that sometimes utopian novels can become a bit stagnant, but this one manages to avoid that for the most part because of the conflict the male characters bring in

9. At Night All Blood is Black by David Diop

this is a book that was published in 2018 but i actually didn't know that until i looked it up just now! what! it concerns a sengalese man named alfa who ends up fighting for the french during world war I. after the tragic death of his best friend, alfa begins a descent into madness due to his guilt and his rage. this is a short novel, but it's unbelievably heavy. there's a lot of graphic violence and hard emotions, but it's written so well. it also provides a picture of world war I from the perspective of the african men who were forced into the trenches that isn't normally depicted. it's truly thought-provoking and beautifully written.

10. Fun Home by Alison Bechdel

yes, bechdel as in the bechdel test. fun home is bechdel's graphic novel memoir that was published in the early 2000s, and it details her youth in rural pennsylvania as well as her complicated relationship with her father as she navigated her sexuality as a butch lesbian. it is astoundingly poignant, and the format as a graphic novel means it's a welcoming, quick read (although when i read it i really did dwell on the amazing art panels, and it did make me sit and pause for a while because of how insanely good it is). this is a great snapshot of a particular kind of queer life in the 1960s-70s, and how bechdel depicts her father and her relationship with him is particularly compelling. be aware of themes of sexuality (of course), but also themes of abuse and pedophilia. everything is depicted with care in my opinion, but this one can also get a bit heavy.

and that's it! ive read a decent amount of classic lit, but these are the ones that i enjoyed the most/would be the most welcoming to people who don't normally pick up books like this.

happy reading!!<3

Ok gonna copy and paste the majority of my recent owl house theories and thoughts so

ALRIGHTY EVERYONE ANOTHER CARTOON BANGER TWEET COMING YOUR WAY FOR THE OWL HOUSE

THEORY TIME🌔🌛🌞🌚🌝

me and friend were talking and me looking and thinking about the collector made me realize he has a lot of traits people wouldn't like from peter pan, the main one being of how childish he is or the proper representative of a child, children don't know empathy at a certain age and have to learn it.

The collector from what we have seen is very much a child or like it, they are bored, they wanna play, they would burn ants if they could.

They are waiting on a chance to have fun, every scene with them they act and give that vibe of a child. But we know that is no God damn child. That is something ancient, powerful and like a child no real concept of what's good or bad so they go for what's fun even if it hurts others, unless it's a act.

But let's say for now it's not, the collector is far too powerful to be left on their own. The titan knew that the collector could not be left alone think of what it was like and the chaos of what they did. So much so that the titan trapped them beneath their own body, Belos is the type of guy to think he is in control at all times, but this, this is a powerful child one with powers Belos can't just compete with, the collector has been helping Belos because they think it's fun.

That this is all a game and more than likely thinks of Belos of a fun toy till the next thing comes along, Belos may not be a witch, but he does fit the bill for a warlock and his patron will toss him away when given the chance.

But also look at how much of jester the collector looks like, they give off a silly clown vibe. Also a shout out to my friend Koi for pointing out the dislike of wizards on the isles and that maybe the collector is a wizard thank you this has been my theory.

🌚🌝🌛🌞

And if you find my twitter congrats now *Shush* you didn't.

ALRIGHTY COMING WITH A NEW CARTOON THEORY, MAINLY FOR THE OWL HOUSE SPOILER WARNING

🦉

🦉

🦉

🦉

🦉

🦉

🦉

🦉

🏡

ALRIGHT THEORY TIME AFTER SEEING WHAT OLD RACIST COLONIZER GASLIGHT BITCHLOS, from what we can see in the background of the latest episode the hollow mind. We see who Bitchlos really is and more this theory is going to touch on some things.

We know the brothers got stuck and as belos said he is a witch hunter, but I wonder if he started off that way, this theory points out things we see in the background mainly his older brother who from what we can tell met a witch and fell in love. They got married and she was obviously pregnant at the time, and Bitchlos being a racist asshole who more than obviously has control issues and mega narcissism couldn't deal with the fact his brother thought he could just leave him and marry and have kids with one of those less than human witches?!

This man like any other racist is totally fucking pissed as someone who comes from a family who racist family members said fuck you to my side this gives me those vibes.

He feels possession of his brother, and so indoctrinated on what they were taught that he was willing to kill him. But him being Bitchlos couldn't accept that he did this to his brother he blames those witches they seduced him with their magic and wild ways, he had no choice their magic was too strong.

But we know he wants to end all magic he cares not for witches and he may not be talking to the titan he's talking to the collector who is trapped under the titan.

My theories for now are that the witch we saw is Eda and Lilith's grandmother or great grandmother, and that some how some way they are related to Bitchlos.

Flapjack choose Hunter because he is the closest to looking like his previous Master, Bitchlos brother, and remember birds are a clawthorne palisman type. He has a grudge against the Clawthornes is because they are a remnant of his deceased brother and the witch who stole him from him.

This is not including on hunter pointing out Darius looking sad, and him saying he knew the previous golden guard, who was his mentor.

Look we are in pain and Dana I am scared, we love you Dana 💖💋

People really getting mad at folks shipping Shuri x Namor, talking about it being predatory with him being 500 years old, but at the same time not batting a eye and thor and Jane, lord forbid any vampire fics, or *cough*Twilight*cough* people are excited and we know he did what he did without spoilers people can just stop before he did what he did write fanfics where it doesn't happen, this isn't to say that other ships aren't bad, like I like Shuri x Riri, but also Shuri x namor hits differently.

I hate to say it but we don't see a lot of poc characters getting this much love or hype a lot of times, and fandoms tend to not treat poc characters well, and I just feel weird people are saying shipping this is awful and predatory, because of him, it's calling a poc man a predator when he has done nothing to her in that kind of way.

Also we understand the message and the importance of the film, but at the sametime let people have fun there are so many other movies that have a important message, and people let them go ahead with their fun like it's no problem but when it comes two poc characters now everyone has a problem.

Everyone Chill out have fun enjoy the film it was made to be enjoyed, ship some characters that I will once again both legal ages have fun.

Ps,

I look forward to all the reader inserts keep me fed beloveds💖❤️‍🔥♥️💖❤️‍🔥💖

how would veil and hock's relationship work with Frollo being Frollo?

I feel like it would be the messiest out of all the other relationships

Like, it would start with Veil noticing Frollo's big ass red flags and major flaws that aren't fixable or easy to ignore. Like his racism and creepiness to Esmeralda. He gives me the vibe he talks shit about Hook and Lady Hook/Hock about their life styles and how Hook's enemy is a child (an immortal child who flies sure-) while Frollo "doesn't have any enemies" (except me being a anti-creep free zone-)

Lady Hook would be a perfect word for word for this song;

Which is very much based on Peter Pan and Neverland

Their relationship would have support in all corners just...never on Veil's own home which would hurt her

Sure it may be unfair to assume Frollo would change cause he might legit care for Veil, but that's something I don't see. I feel like he more likes the idea of Veil, cares over that than emotions. I mean, he did the same to Quasi all his life

He also gives me the vibe to try and take away her chances of being human or visiting the mortal world or the other recruiters if she "rebels" so it's blackmail and toxic

He's a controlling butt face!

It may be OOC for her, but Lady Hook might even make a deal with Ursula to try and get a loop hole in the mess to help Veil even if it costs her something valuable But you're telling me Veil wouldn't sacrifice her own will to make sure she's safe in return?!

If not that, then some crazy ass plan from all the recruiters to save Veil and save her they did

Now Veil is basically homeless and jobless since her whole life was projecting how amazing her master is despite all the crap Either Jack or Lady Hook would offer a place to stay. Hell, I see Apple doing it too

Either way, their relationship would grow pass this point as Lady Hook teaches Veil to be her own person and even helps her express her passion of singing more open

Robin, Aqualad and Artemis redesign from the Young Justice animated series! Im thinking about doing all of them also Artemis and Robin are a little messier bc I did them a couple months ago when I just finished my rewatch. Notes about each under the cut! 

Robin:  - first choice: I got rid of the toe shoes, Im sorry who thought it was a good idea to give him toe shoes?? I have him with shoes that elude more to an acrobat  - thats a general note too: I tried to keep the elements that felt acrobat-y and also the more “boyish” elements- like the short sleeves those are cute - overall the original look I didnt feel I needed to change much? I just wanted to make it look more sleek? I love the clunky gloves in the original though! also the cape!!   - weird choice but I removed the little R which didnt really have much purpose other then making things less crowded but I could probably put it back   - Im trans so I say hes trans, there isnt much I changed for that except I figured I’d shift to be an outfit that would make the body more masculine? basically thinking about what I think when Im getting dressed   - idk I also made the cape “sharper” or gave it more of a distinct cape? this is in part to contrast my Miss Martian redesign but also to allude to the bat of course    - his gloves still have the same function as they did before with being able to project his little screen thing bc that was cool!   - I gave him messier hair then I would’ve otherwise to give that contrast between Robin- Robin out of unifrom- and Dick Grayson (I have a Masks ttrpg character that is a Janus so that was just on my mind)   - gotta keep the mischievous grin (peter pan ass looking motherfucker) and the domino mask!  Aqualad:  - did yall know that electric eels dont have gills! yeah thought in his original design he is kind of supposed to have an eel vibe to it? I tried to lean into that more (also for eel facts I was like rapidly texting my roommate whose majoring in Ocean Science about how confusing and strange they are, he was helpful lol) - the eel shifts can be seen in the way I made his look more “stripe-y” (with the chest part) and adding in the blue to contrast  - he didnt have a mask before and I get that isnt too important but I thought giving him like a “paint” mask might be fun and look cool, SPEAKING OF PAINT... - with the eel choice I decided that it might be cool for his arm marking to be like electroconducive paint or whatever idk Im majoring in ecology not majoring in engineering or physics (im also looking at his original design and feeling like a dumbass for him no longer having eels on his hands :’()  - im mlm and so I think he should be mlm from the start, just a cool older gay for robin to look up too, that isnt important to his design but I think its important in my heart - I gave him shoes, I took on seminar on parasitology this semester and his bare feet just make me so worried about him getting an infection- they are shoes for swimming though! (or he can just pop them off if he wants to use his... toe fins- hes running around on land though he needs shoes)  - w/ the hair I get his atlantian but I know that giving a darker skinned character light eyes and hair to imply “magic” or whatever isn’t a great trope so I wanted to give him a different hair style but I also thought the idea that he bleached them just cause he wanted to might be cool. He also has brown eyes (whoops noticing I left the rest of the eye blue though)   - he gets little earrings  - I didnt like that he has the U shape as like a little belt so I decided to encorporate it into the rest of the outfit- his look is also based off a wet suit!!  - trying to think if Im forgetting anything.... OH I gave him a swimmers body too!! so broader shoulders from swimming!!  Artemis:  - like Aqualad she bleaches her hair too, I like to think she does it in like a rebellious teen way? idk maybe her and Aqualad can bond by them doing it together  - I took away the completely low wasted pants... idk they just felt a little weird if that makes sense...   - I also made her top more of a sports bra, then instead of just slapping and arrow on there I made it apart of the top  - her old mask lowkey felt strange to me??? I was talking w a friend and she pointed at that it feels like a cheesy bank robber mask? (like ski cap with holes) which maybe was intentional to like... ellude to her family and that “untrustwothy”ness??? idk I decided to make it cover her mouth instead to lean into that- it also connected to how both Cheshire and Sportsmaster have full face masks (I havent finished my KF and SB redesign but I dont think theyll have masks that cover the mouths so it singles her out)  - also the part of her mask that pulls her hair back is now like traditional art of the Goddess Artemis which I feel was under utilized in her original design? thats also why I gave her a cool braid instead of a pony tail! (I also feel like its a little more practical idk does it make her seem horse girl-ish)- I also made her boots distantly resemble thoughs  -shes also trans, bc like Robin I say she is- also it’d be funny for her and robin to bond over being “the team non-metahumans, who are both trans and both love Wally West”   - On that note thought I tried to make her look different from Robin and I also gave her nice abs bc she has cropped clothing which nicely show it off  - body type wise shes a little lean and lanky  - I got rid of her weird belt replacing it with a belt that repeats the overall triangle/arrow motif repeating throughout her fit    - gloves function as those little arm guard things you have if you are doing archery- I tried to make those look more functioning also cooler bc they kind of just gave me a strange vibe in the original  I think thats all I have! idk I feel like this might flop but TBH Im having alot of fun w it and Ive been talking to an old friend whose watching it for the first time which makes me really happy! Also these arent to say the original designs are bad I just wanted to take my own crack at reworking them!- OH wait- heres my height chart for these three, Aqualad and Artemis are the same height around 5′10″-6′0″ and robin is around 5′3″-5′5″ he was originally taller then I looked at my line up and was like “shoot everyone is too tall” so I adjusted him so I could bump down Meghan, Wally, and Zantanna a little without making everyone too short (if that makes sense)

Hi! Firstly, I adore this comic and I constantly look forward to reading more. Secondly, I'm itching to ask some questions. :) 1) Will Hook and Smee become anything more than friends(unless, in secret, they already are)? Or will Captain Red Jessica make an appearance on the side because I know Hook is crazy for her. So that would be so interesting. 2) How do you draw these characters so well? I have trouble drawing people, especially Captain Hook. Do you have videos on how to draw them?

Thank you for your support! I'll try to answer as best i can considering spoilers and also, just cause I hold different kind of nostalgia. Long post answering your questions under cut cause I talk too much! Sorry!!

1) Hook and Smee are close but I haven't fully decided the nature of their relationship. I wasn't planning on putting in Red Jessica cause I have no real interest in her as a character. I didn't even find out about her until very recently.

Even tho I have Skully and the kids in the comic, i don't actually enjoy Hook and Pan's characterizations in the show. They come out as real ooc to me (which might seem contradictory while I have Hook being a parent XD) So his crush on her doesn't really vibe with me anyway

Instead, I actually planned on having another Peter Pan related character play a major role. Here's a clue:

What do you think? I'm trying to get her to look recognizable but its hard. Julia Robert's face is very uh... hard to pin down

2) which i guess is a good segue into your other question. I do my best! I don't think im actually that good at drawing Hook tbh. But knowing how to draw basic shapes in a 3D space helps. His entire face is very defined if you break it down into parts. (idk any vids cause im self taught but if you searched for "breaking down shapes drawing" or "How to draw faces" or anything similar, you'll find a lot of vids to try)

But i drew a little of how i break down his face to show how I see it. Cause I don't just try to draw what i see, I still try to understand what i'm looking at (either round or boxy shapes work, it depends on what is easier for you to understand the structure, but after that i round out the face to look organic)

I have literally been looking at pictures of him and just doing my best. I also changed his proportions a little to make them less exaggerated. Cause he looks the way he does cause the Disney designers wanted to make him look "evil" by giving him certain wild proportions (wide grin but big manly chin, eyebrows and eyeballs really close together and really high on the face to give more room for eye expressions)

I pretty much tried to balance him out and smoothed down his face a bit.

Omg if you feel like watching Ouat totally dig in!! It's a cool tv series, nothing too major but some characters are really well written! (Cough cough peter pan cough cough) Also it's kinda easy to follow, you can binge watch episodes easily and there are some good show-turners and things you don't expect! And yeah the rumplestiltskin discourse is that *chris evans voice* I DON'T WIKE HIM, he always gave me contradictory vibes and I feel like he is toxic basically with everyone, (he's a well written character too tho) but of course people have vastly different opinions so maybe you'll end up liking him lol, I absolutely have nothing against people that like him, sometimes I just wanna deck him in the face with a chair tho :D

ahh i love shows you can easily binge and i’ve been looking for a show to just plow through, i may have to give this one a try! especially if it has good g/t hcs to be made and oh i love well written characters that are also assholes. if i ever end up watching well. you will know lol

[garyrennell]

i’ve been binging disney+ and now i wanna know from you, an expert on litg, what the islanders would be as disney movies/characters 🥺

hi anon💙💙 honestly i don’t consider myself an expert omg you flatter me😂✨ and this is a ton of characters to sort so i’ll try my best (i still had to ask for help with this one lol so i don’t take full credit). i’ll be including classic disney and pixar, and leaving out star wars and marvel because it would be too much😂 this answer is long af anyway💕

first of all, my soft crane boi Gary reminds me of Hercules a lot, like his attitude and of course built. and considering that he is a softie and likes to fix things and collect treasures, he also reminds me of Wall-E🥺💕

then we have baker boi Bobby, who obviously reminds me of Peter Pan because he acts younger than he is and loves to mess around and pull pranks on people. aaaand, he gives major Kronk vibes🙈 he loooooves to bake and is overall a loveable person (which would make Lottie his Yzma sometimes💀). and speaking about Lottie, her attitude is similar to Colette from Ratatouille🌚

now Chelsea has traits from Barbie from Toys Story, Joy from Inside out and her looks remind me a lot of Charlotte from Princess and The Frog🥺💕

moving on we have Priya, who is strong and independant and needs no man like Esmeralda💙 and of course she resembles Jasmine because of her indian origin. her personality is also similar to Gypsy, the butterfly from Bugs Life🦋

as of Hope, she’s jealous like Mertle from Lilo and Stitch (and the fusebox team would be the her posse💀) and when she goes berserk she turns into the Queen of Hearts😂 now Blake would be the Evil Queen from Snow White because she wants to be the fairest of them all and she isn’t👀 oh, and Hannah is totally Giselle from Enchanted because she thinks she’s in a fairytale when she is just in, like, Spain lol, plus she’s a redhead😂✨

Carl is Milo from Atlantis for sure🙈 all clumsy and smart af. Lucas’ smugness reminds me a little of Flynn Rider, and his looks are also similar to Li Shang because of his asian origin. also look-wise, Noah kind of looks like Prince Naveen🌚 Jakub can be Gaston because he’s buff af and overly confident and doesn’t know when he’s wrong😂💙 mountain boi Henrik gives me chaotic Dash energies and his love for nature reminds me of sweet Mowgli💕

that’s it😂 it was long af, i know✨✨ amazing, adorable and fun question btw💕 feel free to add more characters guys😱 because i know i missed some💙

Touching the Void.

Searching for cinema that soothes? Ella Kemp suggests it could be as simple as looking for a film poster with a white background.

How many weeks has it been? When did any of us last go blindly into a cinema and take a chance on something new? Film-watching in the time of Covid-19 has changed. The immediate and never-ending news of the world is frightening. Is it still, and more than ever, okay for me to sink into movies to alleviate my mood, just for a bit? How is that even possible when the world has come to a standstill?

We are forced to adapt, and it has taken some time for my attention span and emotional capacity to adjust. But I think I might have found a solution, and I have the meticulous list-makers of Letterboxd to thank. It was Izzy’s list of comfort movies that first lit the fuse. Specifically, the second, third and fourth row; films including Billy Elliot, Clueless, School of Rock.

Fifteen stark posters, speaking one truth: We are vulnerable and nervous. What we need is a film poster with a white background to assure us the movie exists entirely to serve and soothe us.

Part of Izzy’s ‘comfort movies’ list.

List-making on Letterboxd has never been more prolific. Pandemic movies, overdue filmography catch-ups, comfort movies galore. Everyone categorizes and logs their watches differently, but Izzy’s pattern speaks to me with an epiphanic answer. I’ve always admired successful color-coding, but now I see its crucial function.

As I scroll for distraction, for something guaranteed to be good (because I cannot and will not be subject to any uncertainty I can avoid), I see the rainbow. The pale blues of Studio Ghibli, Wong Kar-wai’s passionate reds, the pastels of Netflix Original breezy romances. Like some kind of cinematic ikebana, countless Letterboxd members have mastered the art of arranging film posters. There are standouts: the staggering oeuvre that is Gordon’s chromatic roundup of favorite posters; the comprehensive color-graded history of women directors via their best posters, courtesy of Vanessa; and the penchant for beige in the year 2015, as spotted by Letterboxd co-founder Matthew Buchanan.

A selection of Gordon’s favorite movie posters.

But when I see these 300 examples, color-coded by typography and accents by Sera Ash, I recognize that white movie posters are the ones most likely, in this very strange time, to take care of me. I see it in three distinct filmmaking periods: Disney animations from the 1940s and 50s, the video marketing for cult comedies of the 1980s and 90s, and the alternative marketing materials of my favorite films of the 2010s. Each poster is straightforward and inoffensive. It captures the story, but never dares to impress or intimidate beyond basic description.

A 1975 re-release poster for ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ (1937).

In 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs announced the birth of Walt Disney’s feature-length empire. While its original theatrical poster is also mostly white, it is represented on Letterboxd by a 1975 re-release poster depicting a peek through the keyhole: a curved triangle framing Snow White, the dwarves, and the two sides of the jealous queen, against a vivid green forest. In the bottom corner, a castle. To the left, the title—her name in red cursive, theirs in black. These simple images come together to present an elementary summary of the ingredients within. The white frame showcases the seminal animation craft without suggesting the viewer diverts their eye anywhere else.

This technique was common across other animated titles, collected in lists like dantebk’s Disney animated classics. Pinocchio toys with the hyperreal relationships between characters alive and wooden, human and animal—but does so on a plain canvas, so that the magic remains within reach. Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, Peter Pan—each follows suit. Whether with the mustard yellow of a circus tent, the faint sketches of grass tufts, the gold dust of an enchanted fairy godmother or the ink blue of a midnight starry sky, these colors (indicative of each defining scene-setter or mood-maker) only pepper a blank background, and so make their significance ever greater with the most sporadic touches.

A selection from dantebk’s list of Disney animated classics.

Live-action knockouts from these decades—films like The Shop Around The Corner and The Red Shoes—embrace painted recreations of their protagonists (Margaret Sullivan and James Stewart as festive lovers in the former, Moira Shearer as a tortured ballerina in the latter) and use the color red as a signifier of romance, against a plain white page, to set the mood. Slashes and splashes of red have been used to create a vibe in genre cinema for many decades—a trend deftly chronicled in this list by Rocks.

As far as we know, the underpinnings of digital photography began in the 1950s, and the first published color digital photograph dates back to 1972, when Michael Francis Tompsett shot a photo of his wife Margaret for the cover of Electronics magazine. Consumers got their hands on the gear in the late 1990s, but movie studios really started to make the most of sharp digital photography and stark white backgrounds for their striking posters from the late 1980s onwards. Because, never mind the multiplex, the video store is where you wanted your comfort fare to stand out in the 1980s and 90s.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986) and Say Anything… (1989) form a handsome, trend-setting 1980s pair. While the theatrical poster for Cameron Crowe’s Say Anything… deigned to include John Cusack’s co-star, Ione Skye, by the time of the film’s video release, the focus is clearly on pre-High Fidelity Cusack, as proud underachiever Lloyd Dobler, smouldering lopsidedly under the weight of a boombox. It’s the singular image of the film to this day.

Meanwhile, Matthew Broderick as Ferris-slacking-Bueller is making the most of his title activity, arms behind his head, a proud smirk on his face. Nothing else matters except that these charismatic young stars are stepping up to leading-man status. The white background accentuates the star power of these new boys in town, embracing the limelight in one fell swoop.

Star power is everything: beautiful people doing simple things against empty backdrops, because what could be more important than the regularity of symmetrical bone structure, of familiar charm? The trend boomed in the 1990s and 2000s, in films widely embraced by casual moviegoers. The sort who list “watching Netflix” as a Sunday activity on dating profiles and use the Christmas holidays to rewatch comedies they have memorized over dozens of half-attentive viewings (absolutely zero judgement here!).

The vast majority of these films have white posters. Who is your soothing cup of charm: Tom Hanks on a bench, nothing more nothing less, from 1994’s Forrest Gump? Or Heath Ledger, effortlessly cool, leaning on the brown corduroy armchair Julia Stiles sits in for the 10 Things I Hate About You poster from 1999? (The 90s harnessed the increased appeal of having two lookers just sitting and posing against a plain background, as demonstrated in this chilling list by Ashley.)

Ashley’s list of couples posing in front of a white background.

Will Ferrell had been earning his stripes as an actor for years, but he changed the movie comedy game as Buddy the Elf in 2003. There’s plenty of visual humour in Elf, but Ferrell’s coat-stand posture bedecked in festive green velvet and those tights is… enough. A white background lets the ridicule slide, just.

How many Disney series really deserve a whole movie—and one that stands the test of time? Lizzie McGuire, resting on her tiptoes with a swinging suitcase in hand, sells The Lizzie McGuire Movie like no idyllic views of Rome ever could. It’s reaching out to an audience loyal to the character, one who will follow her to the ends of the Earth, or at least to another continent. Hilary Duff could be doing almost anything on this poster and it would achieve the same effect—so long as the white background remains plain enough to keep eagle-eyed fans on the main event at all times.

It’s surprising that the star-making system only let Meryl Streep appear in a tiny box, one of four character tiles, on the poster for The Devil Wears Prada in 2006. But the design here taps into 1940s animated sensibilities, giving prominence to a devilish red Macguffin larger than the humans. It still achieves the same function—a glossy, glamorous design with the accessible sell of a quotable, star-fuelled comedy.

Red may be the color of romance and the devil; it’s also the color of comedy. Exhibit A: the 2007 gross-out comedy Superbad, whose star power—marking the emergence of Jonah Hill and Michael Cera—is used to an opposite and impressive effect on its poster. The awkwardness of these teen boys—lanky, unkempt, insecure—is what cinches the comedy. The simplicity of the poster design, with their uncomfortable posture against, well, nothing at all, further anchors their incapability of facing the world in any confident way, shape or form.

There are countless more examples, like Marley & Me, Bridesmaids, 27 Dresses (notice how the red type is replaced by pink when the film’s plot veers toward the altar). But to understand the curious and timeless appeal of the white movie poster, what happened to it in the 2010s cements its adaptable strength.

As the art of graphic design has continued to bloom, the aesthetic argument for the colorless color-block movie poster has shifted to embrace a film’s context. Consider Danny Boyle’s Steve Jobs, the enjoyable 2015 drama that provided Michael Fassbender one of the most under-celebrated roles of his career, playing the late Apple co-founder. The poster turns the canvas into a blank screen: the title is typed, the text insertion point poised, waiting for the next key press. As Jobs, Fassbender occupies the bottom right corner, in profile, thinking.

This starkness makes sense: what’s next, Steve? It offers a rare example of a poster from the past decade that fully leans into the monochrome aesthetic entirely on purpose—to serve the restrained and unequivocal need for white. (And it’s interesting to compare with the marketing narrative for an earlier film about another tech leader: observe how Jesse Eisenberg’s Mark Zuckerberg eyeballs us from The Social Network’s dark-mode poster.)

Comfort movies don’t own the white poster, of course. Jordan Peele’s Get Out toys, both in its marketing and its delivery, with the binaries of black and white. It’s deployed on-screen with sophisticated horror, and this extends to its two most graphic poster variants.

While one poster sees Daniel Kaluuya’s character, Chris, sat on a chair split vertically between black and white, the all-white poster allows only a center-frame letterbox to reveal Chris’s enormous eyes, accompanied by an all-caps type treatment. The vast expanse of white only makes the image more menacing, framing the claustrophobia so effectively. The landscape crop is a device that defines stern dramas as much as arthouse comedies, as documented by Haji Abdul Karim in their expansive list.

Haji Abdul Karim’s list of white-with-landscape-image posters.

But back in the ‘comfort’ realm, we’re seeing more and more that the marketing wants to have it both ways—the negative with the positive; the art house audience and the multiplex crowd. As genres blend, demographics collapse and audiences become more fluid, a film’s advertising needs to speak more languages.

Two ultra-comfort films from last year demonstrate this idea well. The poster for Judy sees a backlit Renée Zellweger finding her light, receiving her applause. Black is the key color, right down to the classic little black dress; the eye is drawn to the title, spelled out in red sequins. It’s showbiz, it’s drama. Though the film itself fudges a few of the more uncomfortable facts of the star’s story, it’s still honest about her addictions.

In the white-background version, which was more widely distributed, Zellweger, in a floral dress, turns away from the light. The name still sparkles, but in softened gold. There’s no less glamor, the stakes in the film are just as high, but she’s perhaps more accessible like this. The focus, as it was in the 90s, 80s, 40s, returns to the main event.

Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, too, played with dark and light. The indie queen released her previous film, Lady Bird, via design-conscious distributor A24, and Gerwig’s singular aesthetics promised that her Little Women remake would be worlds away from all the others. But when the first images for the film were released, the marketing campaign was questioned by die-hard Gerwig fans.

Both of the group posters are curiously stripped back, freezing Louisa May Alcott’s beloved March sisters in a moment. In the darker image, they gaze out a window, secure in their festive domestic bubble, but set on what’s beyond. There’s more to life, and the film, than this room. It feels more lush, painterly, certainly more dramatic.

Whereas the white poster, at first, seemed like a mistake. It took one of the first images teased from the film and just... dropped it onto a poster. The March sisters look as if solidified by clay, entirely undynamic and at odds with the fluidity and warm soul Gerwig had made herself known for in her filmmaking.

And yet, nothing matters more than these characters. Beth, Jo, Meg and Amy are holding each other, happy, each in their own favourite color, and there is nothing more to fight over. The white-poster alternative lets the 2010s viewer stay attached to the most important part of the film.

The lessons here? A white poster is a vital sign that you’re safe here. You’ve made the correct choice. Attention spans are dwindling, options are expanding, focus is difficult. The promise of a white frame tells me what matters, what is good, where I should place my time and my value. For now.

GET TO KNOW THE BLOGGER.

✧ can be used for RP and non-RP blogs to get to know a bit about the person behind the screen!

1. FIRST NAME:  i used to go by my middle name, nina, but now i go by pacifica or paci.

2. STRANGE FACT ABOUT YOURSELF: i have a bunch of weird ailments that honestly are just wild. like sometimes my nerves make me spasm or collapse or i’ll become hyperflexible. my kidneys decided they were lonely so they are... snuggled together... and i’ve had cancer a few times. it’s exhausting. 

3. TOP THREE PHYSICAL THINGS YOU FIND ATTRACTIVE ON A PERSON:  - smile /  facial features. outside of aesthetics, you can tell if someone is superficial or genuine through the intensity of their smile, or if they’re fabricating their appearance or background. i wouldn’t want someone to pretend for me. i want them to be how they are. - personal care. i don’t have preferences on hair / grooming outside of being well-kempt. file your nails & clean them ( like if ur a mechanic or factory worker or other types of physical labor, i get it-- but like an office worker with black nails? ick ), brush/comb/finger detangle/style your hair, make sure your clothes are reasonably presentable... clean, like you actively tried to come up with an ensemble. - physique. not saying people need to be like 8 pack or straight out the gym. nor am i saying i need someone to be like mega massive or mega thin. but preferably someone who like... is comfortable in the skin they’re in, and cares about their body. at the least, cares about what goes in their body and how much their body does for them. 

4. A FOOD YOU COULD EAT FOREVER AND NOT GET BORED OF:  haribo snacks.

5. A FOOD YOU HATE: i cannot handle the smell of mustard or mayonnaise. i will literally walk out of a room.

8. SERIOUS RELATIONSHIPS OR FLINGS:  i vastly prefer serious relationships, but there’s got to be a lot of build up to it for me to pursue someone in that manner. that being said, idk why, apparently i seem unapproachable or intimidating, but i’ve always had to ask out the person i liked.... ask me out first, u fools. i’ve tried to do flings but like i always feel guilty afterward bc i’m not invested, i just pretend hoping maybe i’ll fool myself in the process and i don’t lmao. that being said, it’s been like over a year since i’ve last dated, and two years had passed between that partner and the previous one. 

9. IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN THE PAST AND CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WOULD YOU AND WHAT WOULD IT BE: nothing. maybe switch my triple minor to an interdisciplinary double major because that sounds cooler in this point in my life. but other than that? i feel like i did well with the cards that were handed to me. they shaped me into who i am now. and now i’m trying to continue to be a person past me would be proud of. i want to live a life with little to no regrets. to pursue everything i can while i have the opportunity to. 

10. ARE YOU AN AFFECTIONATE PERSON: physically, yes. emotionally, it depends. my coworkers are always either thrilled to see me or are like “ it’s paci being over the top cute. ” i love coming into the room to give hugs or do random acts of service or to shower someone with surprise gifts just to say i appreciate them. however, i can be emotionally distant at times and i don’t like to involve people into things. i still feel guilty on most occasions when i vent,  even though i know it’s healthy to do. i feel like it’s not other people’s responsibility to deal with my problems or have to endure them, even if it’s as little involvement as listening. such an attitude isn’t great, but... at least i can recognize that now? lmao. u know. baby steps. i’m still learning to trust and let people in. when my former best friend broke my heart it really messed me up in a lot of ways.

11. A MOVIE YOU COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN: i love pocahontas, mulan, princess and the frog, and peter pan starring mary martin. i’ve been watching that specific peter pan since like..... birth......... and it’s still one of my favorite films.

12. FAVORITE BOOK:  dante’s divine comedy.

13. YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP ANY ANIMAL AS A PET, WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE: a long-haired cat, preferably a tortoise color. i’ve always thought munchkin cats were the cutest. i’d want something that is as independent and self-sufficient as i am.

18. IF YOU COULD TRAVEL ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD YOU GO: i love visiting friends. and like... idk? japan is still interesting, as is italy and greece and jerusalem. but i don’t have like... a burning urge to go anywhere. i’d like to return to vietnam & cambodia at some point as well. people tell me melbourne is my kind of vibe, but... i’ll get there when i get there. 

19. INTROVERT OR EXTROVERT:  ambivert. though for all that i project in personality, i do take a lot of time to myself to kind of recharge, as you will.

21. IPHONE OR ANDROID:  android. i’ve been using samsung galaxy phones since like 2013 and i’m not going back now. i had an ipad once and........ i’m over that. but i’m not like gonna participate in the dumb android vs apple debate........ we’re adults and it’s 2020, c’mon now. put ur energy into something else.

22. DO YOU PLAY ANY VIDEO GAMES: y’all......... i wish i could be like ‘ i’m a gamer grl ’ but the truth is that i mainly collect games and say i’ll play them but it takes me a trillion years sfdgiohfgiohdf. my backlog is shameful. we don’t talk about that. that being said, i just took up ace attorney: spirit of justice this evening & i’ve been playing through kingdom hearts iii and yakuza 0 as of late. 

23. DREAM JOB: to write poetry & creative nonfiction at my leisure dfogihdohg. travelling writer, sharing about cultures all over the world & the beauty of interaction. very whimsical, i know! i also love studying languages and culture...... so it’s no question writing, sociology, cultural anthropology and linguistics were/are my fields of study. 

24. WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A MILLION DOLLARS: pay off my loans, throw like half of it in savings for it to grow, give some to my mum bc she deserves to live comfortably, and..... take some time off work to just relax and rediscover myself. while work does give me purpose, it also takes away from my creative pursuits so like... that blows.

25. FICTIONAL CHARACTER YOU HATE: it took me like 10 years for sorceress adel to stop giving me nightmares, so like. probably her. the pennywise energy was too strong. and on that note...... all clowns and clownlike energy should just burn. pennywise, saw. y’all got to go.

“Pete, please just this once,” you looked up at him, trying to convince him with your puppy eyes so that he will break the answer for the chemistry question to you. For a moment, what you thought was Peter’s stand seemed to falter but he quickly composed himself.

“No and that’s my final decision,” he stormed off, leaving in front of a cafe in the mild autumn breeze.

You let out a sigh as you opened the door to the cafe. It wasn’t an ordinary cafe, it was a family business. It was named John’s Cafe, after your grandfather. Your parents usually took care of the cafe, you would just help them to bake pastries after finishing your homework or whenever you were free.

Your parents were out of town as they went to visit your ailing aunt. It was all up to you to take care of the cafe now.

You set your bag down, changed your clothes, and wore your apron, preparing the dough to bake the pastries. You were planning on selling the premade strawberry pastries, not only because it was on the menu, also because you wanted bring some for Peter as it was his favorite.

You started off by preparing the strawberry filling by combining sugar and tapioca in a small saucepan. You added fresh strawberries and let it stand for 5 minutes. When the mixture started to boil, you mixed some lemon juice in it, stirring it until it was thick and left it to cool.

You rolled out the premade dough and cut it into squares. You spooned out the fillings into the center of each square. After sealing the pastries, you placed them in the preheated oven.

After 10 minutes, the pastries turned a golden brown, prodding you to take them out. You drizzled the icing you made earlier and proudly set them up on the counter.

You dusted your hands on your apron before walking over to the entrance of your cafe and flipping the sign over to ‘OPEN”. You looked at the light evening sky which was full of golden rays that signified the end of the day and sighed contently to yourself.

Peter crawled up the wall of the Avengers Tower as he looked over the whole town, keeping an eye for any crimes happening out there. Suddenly, Karen’s voice woke him up from his thoughts.

“Peter, you have a message from Y/N,”

Peter smiled as he heard your name. He was planning to swing by your cafe to drop off the answer to the ‘indecipherable’ (according to you) question. He wanted to tell Karen a reply to your message, but something caught his eye.

A security alarm was going off at one of the cafes near him. The mechanical eyes on his suits squinted to see the name of the cafe. His heart nearly jumped out of his chest when he saw it.

John’s cafe

He swung quickly to your cafe as his mind swirled with thoughts of you. He was planning on activating ‘Instant Kill Mode’ if anything ever happens to you. He let out a audible gasp as he saw the scene between you and the robber unfold before him.

You were holding a frying pan to protect yourself from the perpetrator. Peter nearly laughed out loud when he saw you.

“What are you doing over there? C’mere and help me!” you waved your pan at the masked hero. 

Peter shot some webs at the robber and tied him up. He ran and gave him a flying kick which sent him to the corner of the room. He made the robber stick to the wall nearby.

“So, ma’am, I would love to stay here but I have to go and drop off the criminal over there at the police station,” Peter said, intentionally deepening his voice.

“Sure, Spiderman, thank you for saving my life,” you nodded and smiled. To be honest, you were freaking out. Your favorite superhero was standing in front of you, and you had to try hard to calm yourself down.

“Um, here you go,” you stared down at the watch-looking device that Spiderman just handed you.

“What is this?” you asked as the device wrapped itself around your wrist, fitting you perfectly, as if it was made for you.

“Oh, it’s like a device where if you press the button on it and the red light flashes, it sends a signal to me and your coordinates. This will help me to save you if you are in danger. Plus tip, if the red light flashes thrice, it means that I didn’t get your message or I ignored it, but we both know that won’t happen,” he explained.

You slowly nodded and tried to grasp whatever the man/boy in front of you was blabbering about.

“Maybe I should get going- are tHOSE STRAWBERRY PASTRIES?!” he exclaimed.

“Yes! So, do you want some?” you asked and noticed that the eyes on his suit grew wider.

His head bobbed enthusiastically and you packed some of the pastries for him. He let a quick wave of his hand and left the cafe, leaving you in the cold night.

“I met him Peter, it was really Spiderman!” you explained to the brown-eyed beside you.

“Of course, Y/N, why would Spiderman even be there?” he asked you with a light smirk.

“Guess what,” you huffed.”I’m getting out of here. See ya later, alligator.” 

Peter smiled as he saw your nimble feet skipping down the way to your cafe.

You toyed with the device that the masked hero gave you as you stared out into the oblivion. Your transient meeting with him has left a strong impact on you.

You wanted to see him.

Your finger hovered over the button as you bit the inside of your cheek. Holding your breath, you pressed the button.

In about a minute, you saw Spiderman standing right at the entrance of your cafe.

“Wait, why, what happened?!” he asked in between breaths.

“Oh, shit, sorry! The watch accidentally hit the wall, so I think it called you,” you lied, red rising up your cheeks.

“Ah ok then,” he scratched his head.”I think I better get going now.”

You nodded your head and gave him a bag of strawberry pastries. You gave a smile his way as he swung back to his quarters.

As days went by, you kept pressing the button on the device so that you can meet the young superhero. The conversations between you guys always went by like this :

“Wait Y/N, why did you call me?”

“Oh, sorry, I dropped the device and it called you,”

“If you do that one more time…”

“Why am I here again?”

“My cat stepped on it,”

“You don’t even have a cat,”

“No, I am telling the truth!”

“If you do that one more time…”

“Jesus Christ, Y/N what are you doi- IS THAT A MOUSTACHE?”

“EY HERMANA, hOLA”

“gET tHat mOUSTACHE OFF”

“NO, THIS IS MY pRIDE”

“If you do that one more time…”

But, unbeknownst to you, Peter was falling for you. A minor crush that he had on you was now a very major crush.

Even though he was tired of you calling his alter ego, but admittedly, he liked it.

He loved seeing you happy and the smile you would give him as you hand him the bag of strawberry pastries. 

He was elated by the fact that you would tell him your encounters with Spiderman whenever you meet him.

He really wished that he could confess his feelings for you, but he didn’t want to place you in a precarious position He was worried that if anyone knew that he was Spiderman, they would come after you.

He sighed softly as he stood up from his bed to take a bath.

On his study table, the device that was connected to yours was flashing a bright red.

“Fucking hell,” you whispered softly, inaudible to masked robber in your cafe, “Where the hell is Spiderman when you need him?”

You kept pressing the button until the springs came out of it. You muttered a curse word to yourself as you reached to your back pocket to get your phone.

Your thumbs flew at a rapid speed, typing out words to Peter which might also be your last words.

Y/N

peter, there is a fkin robber

come n save me

pls 

btw, i love y

Before you could type out the last message, your hair was yanked and pulled out from your hiding place. You wriggled out of the unknown person’s grip and punched him in the face.

You were face to face with the masked robber. A light drip of blood was visible on his jaw, the place you just punched.

He grabbed you by the shoulder, applying too much pressure which made tears from at the side of your eyes. He pushed you down to the chair and tied you up with a rope. Taping your mouth with a strip of duct tape, he proceeds to go to the counter to take all the money and shove it inside his bag.

You sat there helplessly as you saw smirking at all the money he just found

Isn’t there anyone to help me? you thought to yourself.

“Stop right there!” a voice came from the entrance of your store.

Ah, here this bitch comes, you mused as you saw Spiderman standing in his famous suit.

“Heh, what are you gonna do, Spiderboy,” a chuckled came from the bad guy.

“First of all, it’s Spiderman,” he said as he delivered a swift kick to his face and webbed his hands up.

The masked hero glided smoothly to web the perpetrator up against the wall and come to your side and untie you. You hugged him as you felt a wave of emotions sweep over you, mainly relief, happiness and love.

You hesitated as the mask of the hero deterred you from kissing the lips of the man behind it. Somehow he read your thoughts and pulled off his mask and only hesitated for a split second. Before that, he made sure that the robber did not see his face.

You were shocked and relieved to see your best friend standing in front of you. You gave him a soft smile and stood closer to him. Peter took your cheeks in his hands and guided your lips to his.

Sparks coursed through your whole body as Peter started caressing your lower back. It was just a small and sweet kiss, which signaled the start of your romantic relationship.

Both of you pulled back, foreheads resting against each others. Suddenly, Peter started sniffing something as he lifted his head up.

“Why? What’s wrong?” you ask, concerned.

“Do you still have strawberry pastries?”

This adorable and dumb dork.

THEORY TIME🌔🌛🌞🌚🌝

me and friend were talking and me looking and thinking about the collector made me realize he has a lot of traits people wouldn't like from peter pan, the main one being of how childish he is or the proper representative of a child, children don't know empathy at a certain age and have to learn it.

The collector from what we have seen is very much a child or like it, they are bored, they wanna play, they would burn ants if they could.

They are waiting on a chance to have fun, every scene with them they act and give that vibe of a child. But we know that is no God damn child. That is something ancient, powerful and like a child no real concept of what's good or bad so they go for what's fun even if it hurts others, unless it's a act.

But let's say for now it's not, the collector is far too powerful to be left on their own. The titan knew that the collector could not be left alone think of what it was like and the chaos of what they did. So much so that the titan trapped them beneath their own body, Belos is the type of guy to think he is in control at all times, but this, this is a powerful child one with powers Belos can't just compete with, the collector has been helping Belos because they think it's fun.

That this is all a game and more than likely thinks of Belos of a fun toy till the next thing comes along, Belos may not be a witch, but he does fit the bill for a warlock and his patron will toss him away when given the chance.

But also look at how much of jester the collector looks like, they give off a silly clown vibe. Also a shout out to my friend Koi for pointing out the dislike of wizards on the isles and that maybe the collector is a wizard thank you this has been my theory.

🌚🌝🌛🌞

And if you find my twitter congrats now *Shush* you didn't.
