#like i don't think i've seen anything since peter pan last year

[madwomansapologist]

Hi. Can you write a smut scene between the female reader and my favorite Disney character, Captain Hook from Disney’s Peter Pan 1953 original film that starts with love at first sight please? I have a serious fangirl crush on him.

Masterlist | Rules | Taglist | Library | More Captain Hook | AO3

synopsis: It happened. It finally happened. Hook defeated Peter Pan. He saw the silhouette flying above the clouds, readied the modified harpoon that fired a net, and finally managed to catch him! Little did he knew it wasn't Peter Pan.

warnings: DarlingSister!reader. female!reader. porn with plot. love at first sight. mention of erotic literature. that man is possessive. guns. chats about murder.

note: Thanks for your request, darling! I watched it again to write this, and I've just realized it's been almost eight years since I last saw Peter Pan. It was fun. And you made me realize I don't have normal pure thoughts about Hook. Like if I needed another character to be obsessed with. Hope you like it!

After so much screaming and arguing, George and Mary finally left the house. You waved, wished them a good night, and locked the front door. What a mess. All that fuss because of a character from a bedtime story.

You went upstairs and opened the door to your sibilings' room, but the three of them were already asleep. You knew that Wendy didn't want to leave the children's room, you thought that if you talked to her that fear could be eased, but she was already sighing. Maybe tomorrow.

You entered your room and changed into your pearly nightgown. You saw your parents entering a cabriole from the wide window. When they disappeared, you ran into the backyard and released Nana from the leash.

Tomorrow you'll sort it out with your dad. George can be furious, your mom word it as passionate, but deep down he's the most caring father you could wish for. George is always barking, never biting.

And your night would have ended there if you hadn't looked up. You should have seen a starry night. A full moon. But you saw your brothers. Flying.

That's it. You went crazy. Mad. Lunatic.

"Peter, wait!" Michael cry out. "You forgot one sister!"

"Michael?" You shuddered. Insane. Completely insane. "Michael, is that you?"

"Wait a second!" Michael waved the teddy bear at you and disappeared into the sky. After a infinite second, he appeared with something glowing in his hand and flew towards you. "Think happy thoughts," he instructed you.

Then a glittering dust fell on you. You coughed and tried to clear yourself. Crazy. Completely crazy. When you looked down, you saw the ground. Which would be normal. If it wasn't too far away.

Michael took your hand. "I told you Peter Pan existed!"

"Oh. My God." You shouted. "Oh. My God." You were flying! Flying. No. No, you weren't. You closed your eyes, took a deep breath, and emptied your mind. When you opened your eyes, you saw the Big Ben. From above. "Oh. My. God."

"Don't be scared." Michael gave you two pats on the back. The same you do when he wakes up from a nightmare. He gave you his teddy bear. You hold onto it like it would protect you from anything. "We are going to Neverland!"

Then Michael flew again. You got to see John and Wendy flying up ahead, along with who could only be Peter Pan. You tried to follow them, but flying was a lot harder than the three of them made it out to be.

It was just a really realistic dream. Just that. A good dream about flying with your siblings.

Hugging the teddy bear, you slowly followed them. You passed chimneys, climbed through clouds, stood over the hands of Big Ben: always a few minutes late in comparison to them. But in the end, even with a lot of fear, you did follow them towards the Second Star to the Right.

Seeing Neverland, you felt butterflies in your stomach. It wasn't madness, it wasn't a dream, it was true. When the four stopped on a cloud, you thought you finally caught up with them.

Then something hit you.

It got tangled up in your body, heavy enough to make you fall. A net pulling you into the sea. You tried to fly, you tried to let go, but the more you moved the more you got tangled up in it.

The net was heavy, pulling you down, but it wasn't a sudden fall. You just couldn't go up. Which didn't mean it was comfortable. Yards and yards of fabric tangled up on you, just weighing you down.

A whirlwind of voices showed you that people were approaching, but you couldn't see anything. You just felt the impact against what must have been the ground. It didn't hurt, but it felt weird to stop flying.

"Finally, Mr. Smee, I will take care of my worthy opponent." You heard a rough, deep voice. People laughed at what he said. "I've waited years for it."

"That's not countin' the holidays, either", Mr. Smee complete. "Aye, there is the knife, Captain."

You tried to let go but only heard a deep chuckle. "Don't be a coward, my old enemy, face your fate." You heard the ripping of ropes. The weight on you began to lift. "Hook defeated you."

The knot holding the hammock came undone, and only then did you realize how much you needed to breathe without pounds of rope over your face. You blinked, the sun blinded you, and the black silhouette in front of you took on color.

And he was beautiful. You've read stories about pirates. Beautiful and funny stories like the ones Wendy shares with her brothers. But also about strong men, who know their ships like the back of their hands, who survive the ravages of the sea and vanquish the mightiest heroes. And you've also read about pirates who knew how to please a woman, dishonest men who kneel in front of their beloved, experienced men doing things girls shouldn't even know exist.

Hook reminded you of the latter type. "Disappointed?", you whispered. After all, it was just a dream.

Hook was frozen in place. Ready to slit Peter's throat and deliver him an honorable death, what was caught in his net was something far different than his little imp.

His heart was pounding so loudly that he almost didn't hear the question asked by the lady in front of him. Disappointed? How could he? You were more beautiful than any mermaid, more graceful than any woman he had ever seen, more delicate than any pearl. Wars would be fought in your honor and that would be the least any man with sense could do.

But his sailors are not known for being sensible.

"Of course we are!" One of them thought he had the right to talk to you. As if it wasn't already a miracle that he could see someone like you. "Where's Peter?"

Then Hook moved. He took the revolver out of his jacket and, without even looking in the direction he was aiming, pulled the trigger. The sailor fell overboard.

"Forgive me", Hook extends his hand to you. "My men don't know how to treat a lady."

You hesitated but accepted the touch. Hook set you on your feet again, more gently than you thought a pirate could display. "Apparently you kidnapped me."

"Aye, this is just a misunderstanding. See, I thought you were Peter Pan. It's not every day you see someone different flying over my ship."

"So... can I leave?" Your feet left the ground. Looks like you were already getting used to this flying thing. "And nothing will happen to me?"

Hook ran his fingers through his hat, a polite smile spreading across his face. "I would never dream of hurting you." Hook gestured toward his office. "May I apologize for the misunderstanding?"

"Apologize?"

"Drinks and conversation." Hook ran his fingers over his face. Good thing Mr. Smee shaved. It would be a horror if the love of his life met him in something other than his best version. "A proper apology."

You wouldn't normally accept such a request. To be alone with an unknown and dangerous man. Drinking with a man! But that was just a dream.

In his room, you floated around looking at the different shelves and finds. A pirate ship! It has so many treasures. "If you had captured Peter, would you have killed him?"

Your question took him by surprise. "That doesn't strike me as a conversation of lady interest."

As you turned, you saw Hook swapping the silver hook for a gold one. You smirked. "I showed interest, didn't I?"

Bossy. Ah, Hook knew you were his soulmate for sure. "I would have. Does that bother you?"

"No." You floated toward him, and sat down on the chair across from the table. Hook poured two glasses of some drink. You took the glass and thanked him, but didn't drink. "After all, this it's nothing but a dream."

"Dream?” Hook chuckled, downing his drink and sitting back in his armchair. “What convinces you of that?”

"I was at home, ready for bed, and suddenly I was flying to Neverland." You shrugged. "Clearly a dream."

Hook understood what was happening. Peter seems to have been confused. You are not a lost child. He never was careful. "I can prove this is not a dream."

"How?"

Hook rose, slowly circling the table. In front of her, he leaned on the wood. "Aren't you going to drink?"

Only then did you remember the glass in your hands. You took a sip, a grimace came over your face. "Strong", you coughed.

"Here's the proof." Hook touched your chin, making you lift your head and look. Only he did it with the golden hook. "Ever felt something like that in a dream?"

You swallowed hard. "No."

"So that means you're alone with the most dangerous pirate on the seven seas, the person who wouldn't have thought twice about slicing someone's throat out, completely helpless." Hook leaned in until he could feel your breath against his face. "Does that bother you?"

"You don't seem interested in ripping my throat out."

He gave you time to walk away. To fly in the direction you wanted. To leave him without saying a single word. Hook gave you time, but you let him kiss you.

He tasted like the rum you ignored. The hook left your chin and slid down to your waist, pulling you toward him. You leaned into his chest, kissing him back. It was so wrong, so unlike anything you would ever do, but it also felt so good.

You pulled away for air, and felt his fingers caressing your cheek. When you opened your eyes, you saw that Hook was smiling. "Do you know how to be silent?" You nodded in agreement. "Excellent."

He lifted you from the chair, and in one swift movement sat you down on the table. Hook was strong. Too strong. He pressed his thumb to your lip, watching you with lust. "You were made for me."

Before you could say anything, Hook knelt. You've read about it in books, but you could never imagine it would be such a satisfying sight. A man so strong, so dangerous, brought to his knees by you.

Hook didn't even bother to remove your nightgown. He just stuck his head between the fabric, desperate to satisfy you. To make you feel the same way he felt about you. To make you scream for him and make everyone understand that you belonged with him.

And so you did. Feeling him delight in your curves, his tongue brushing against your lips, his fingers pressing into your clit. You tried to be silent as he asked, but after a while you stopped worrying about it.

"You..." You didn't even knew what you wanted to say. You just wanted to feel more. To feel completed. To feel more and more of him. "I think I had dreams like that before."

You felt him gasp against your sex. Hook rose, his damp face close to yours, and you felt your face burn. "Haven't I convinced you this isn't a dream yet?"

His fingers explored your lips again, applying just the right pressure. You moaned against his lips, Hook squeezed his eyes shut. "What else do I have to do to convince you?"

You smiled. "I think you know what you need to do."

He bit your lip. "As you wish."

His fingers entered you. Slowly, carefully, but no less willingly. He filled you, long fingers repeatedly penetrating your insides, and you were unable to do anything but hold on to his shoulders and allow him to do whatever he wanted to you.

The sound of your wet pussy was almost embarrassing. "You're mine", Hook whispered against your ear.

"As you wish."

He quickened his movements, fucking you with a devotion no one has ever shown you. So close, so glued to your body, Hook has guided you to orgasm. You shuddered against his fingers, your fingernails scratched his perfectly groomed jacket, your moans were uncontrollable.

"Do you still think I'm part of a dream?” Hook trailed kisses from your throat to your jaw. “Has anything this good ever happened in your dreams?'

You shook your head. It was as close to an answer you were able to give him. It was enough for him. Hook is patient. He can wait.

I hope this doesn’t come off as rude because it’s just an observation I’ve had.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone who edits Disney do it like you do. You only edit with your few chosen ships and nothing else whereas everyone else has their main ships sure but they edit with lots of different characters and change it up all the time.

Is there a reason why you don’t ever edit anything else? Does it not get boring editing the same couple over and over again? How do you come up with new edits to do cause surely with things like Hollina you’ve used all the footage in all the ways that it can possibly be used and you can see in some of your videos that you’ve reused situations.

Again sorry if it’s rude I’m just genuinely curious cause I’ve not seen anyone go so in-depth with their ships like you do and I find it interesting.

I have very recently edited with new characters so I'll be honest and say I find the timing of your ask a little ironic cause I am indeed for the first time in years ACTUALLY editing with new characters. So I wouldn't say it's rude, but it's a little weird you're asking this when the newest edits I've made are with characters I haven't edited much with before... 😅

I mean, my first Charmine videos was from December. And my Sinric stuff is from January. My last Hollina video is from November 2021, that's a year and a half...

So I'm not entirely sure why you're asking this now?

But like I said, I don't think it's straight up rude as such, but the way you're phrasing it does sound like you're judging me at least a little bit 😂

I disagree that I've done everything I can with Hollina. There's plenty of footage for them both that I've never used before and considering how many Hollina AUs I have, I have absolutely not run out of stories and situations to put them in. There's a few shots I have reused over the years, but it's very few and it's usually ones that I worked too hard on creating to use just once. It's also worth noting that since there are indeed AUs, every single one of my Hollina videos are from Hollina AUs. So some videos belong in the same universe and story. So of course some situations will be repeated there because it's the same story they take place in 😊

If I found it boring, I'd stop. I'm not forcing myself to edit anything I don't want to. And for a while, all I wanted to do was Hollina.

Then all I wanted to do was Thraxette for a bit.

Now I'm working with entirely new characters. Except Odette, since I'm using her for MxDisney, but her family is Medusa from The Rescuers and Michael from Peter Pan. Also two characters I've never edited with before.

I think the best way to explain how and why I go so in-depth with my ships is that it's just the way my brain works. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing right. So when I get into something, I tend to hyper focus and sometimes that lasts a week, sometimes months and then sometimes years, like Hollina did 😂 Not to say I'm not into Hollina anymore, but I'm not hyper focused on them anymore.

I also have ships I hardly ever do any work with. Like Robin Hood and Basil. I've shipped them for YEARS and only ever made like 2 videos with them.

I think what's also an explanation why I sometimes hyper focus on one ship for a while is also dependent on you guys. If I create a ship and loads of people get really into it, I get really into it. I didn't expect Charmine to become this popular, to the point where I've received SEVERAL asks and comments and AU ideas from you all! That, to me, is so amazing and makes me want to do more with them, because I also want to create what I think you guys will enjoy as well! So when you guys seem to be into a ship I like as well, I get more encouraged to make more with them.

Robin and Basil isn't straight up unpopular, but it's not nearly as popular as some of my other ships. Which is completely understandable, it's an anthro ship and what I usually do are humans 😂 so that's a ship I kinda just keep to myself sort of 😊

I've also always been very imaginative. Nothing is ever really... I don't know what to call it; "shallow" in my head? I go into depth with stuff, I like to analyze, do Easter eggs, inside jokes and get really deep into a plot or idea.

I think another way of saying it too is that I don't like canon couples. Or like, they don't interest me much. Why? Because they're already together. We know their story, we've seen how they get together. Of course you can still create your own universes for them and whatnot - and I do have a few canon ships - but it just doesn't trigger my creativity. With crossover couples, you have to make up stuff yourself. So why not go into depth? Why not imagine every single way these people could interact? At least, that's how my brain entertains itself 😂

I'm never bored. And that sounds weird, but I'm serious. I don't know what boredom actually feels like. My brain can always come up with SOMETHING. And it's never vague, it's always detailed and complicated.

That's why I can keep coming up with new stuff for the same ships. That's why I don't get bored with it. That's why I still enjoy working with characters no matter how many times I've already worked with them.

I've never had a problem with creating a ton... my problem has always been limitations. Hence why my response to your ask became this long 😂 Once I get going, I can't stop!

So, no. I'm not bored working with the same characters. Because I keep coming up with new stuff to do with them 😊

Thank you for your question!

I don’t really know what Shunma thought was gonna happen here tbh, poor boy got bodied :(

[arabian-batboy]

I've seen some people point out that it still might be true that Tim will be getting rid of the title. The fact that he seems to be stuck in the Robin identity is again pointed out by someone in the Dark Crisis Young Justice previews, so it doesn't seem like it's going to be ignored, and the 'Robin' in the solo title could work as the title of just one arc of the run. And the idiotic solicit was written by the marketing team, apparently writers don't even approve them, so it might not be a reflection of the writers' attitude or ideas. I'm not trying to defend anyone or anything, it does look shitty, but maybe there's still hope for what we all thought would happen and Tim finally letting go of the title and finding himself and letting Damian be Robin in peace

I find that hard to believe, it may very well be a case of the writer not wanting Tim to be Robin anymore, while the editors are the ones who want him to stay as Robin, but in comics the editors always wins. So it doesn't matter to me how many foreshadowing/hints the writer will throw in about Tim leaving Robin behind if it will not actually result in anything (also this isn't anything new, Tim has been calling himself Robin for 4 years and wearing a Robin-like costume for 8 years now)

I could buy that happening if lets say, they announced a 6-12 issues long Robin book for him, that way it could be a short arc about him finally finding a new identity and after it end then they will actually give him an on-going series with the name of that new identity as its title, but giving him an on-going series called Robin tells me all I need to know, since it's extremely uncommon for comics to change their title mid-way through the story and if it really did change its name, then it will probably happen in the very far future, considering that Tim is currently being treated like the main Robin in the Batman comics.

It also has something to do with the timing of all this, DC has claimed that Damian's place in the DCU is apparently going to change forever after the events of "Batman vs Robin" and I'm really worried since the last time DC said something similar to this, they tried to take Robin away from Damian and turn him into the DCU's main villain and while I don't think they would do something as extreme as that this time, I still wouldn't put it past them to use this event to give Damian a new identity, so that their favorite Peter Pan can be Robin in peace (so if anything it will be Damian's Robin solo that will change)

If that wasn't the case and Tim's upcoming solo will actually change it's name from Robin to something else within the first 6 issues, then they will be the world's biggest trolls and they have no one to blame for the way I will be talking about Tim this year but themselves.

Ranking all Disney men based on how good of a guy they actually are Pt.2

Welcome back to this series, everyone! Even tho the last part was an absolute wreck, I promise this one is a bit better, since this part contains actually likable men.

Okay, fine, it's not that good-

But we are at least getting closer to the top!

Part 1 | Part 3

30. Woody, from "Toy Story"

I've got a snake in my boot!

If you read the first part of this mini-series of mine, you know that even tho I love "Toy Story", I don't find anyone attractive there. But if I HAD to pick somebody..

don't look at me like that

I'm kidding. He's a great guy and I love him so much but my girl Bo Peep can have him.

Looks: 4/10 He's... As good as toys go?? I like his smile tho.

Personality: 6/10 Same as Buzz. Can be a little impulsive from a time to time, but all in all, Woody's good.

Overall score: 5/10

29. Roger Radcliffe, from "101 Dalmatians"

Welp, as far as animated British men from the 60's go, I think Roger is actually pretty cute. Definitely a bit too old from me (he looks like he's in his thirties), but hey, who doesn't love a blonde musician who loves dogs??

I JUST GOOGLED IT AND IT TURNS OUT HE'S 22-23 YEARS OLD

Well that sure changes the looks department-

Looks: 4.25/10 I was about to give him a solid five but I just found out that he's actually 10 years younger (meaning he looks 10 years older) and it kinda ruined that.. All in all, still pretty decent!

Personality: 6/10 He's a good guy. A witty musician with a sense of humour and I can absolutely see what Anita sees in him.

Overall score: 5.12/10

28. Peter Pan, from "Peter Pan"

Anybody who says that they never had a crush on Peter Pan is a dirty liar

Five-year-old me would be squealing right about now. He was my main crush when I was kindergarten, and my fav color back then was green only and just because of him. Now that I'm looking at him, he's not all that cute, but I think it was more of his carefree vibe that made me like him.

Looks: 4/10 Not as cute as I remember, but still pretty cute. Again, his personality is hot, not himself per se.

Personality: 7/10 I LOVE this guy. He was just a boy looking for fun and wanted somebody to read him bedtime stories. Also very brave and adventurous. Five-year-old me obviously had great taste.

Overall score: 5.5/10

26. Tarzan, from "Tarzan"

He's got that cute, not really bright look on his face.. But c'mon, it's TARZAN!

I mean, he literately walks around shirtless (we aren't complaining)

Looks: 6/10 The only thing that's bothering me is his chin. Why is it so long and pointy?? (That's what she said) Everything else is fine

Personality: 5/10 I would have given him much more because he really is a great guy, but I can't since he doesn't talk all that much. Still a hero tho!

Overall score: 5.5/10

25. Milo Thatch, from "Atlantis: The Lost Empire"

I couldn't find a better picture, but here is Milo anyway

Tbh Milo introduced us all to the "cute nerd" type of a guy

He really does have that charm. Sure, he's dorky, and can be pretty shy, but he's really cute and incredibly smart!

Looks: 5/10 Again, it's the chin. Why was Disney making such big chins? Otherwise, he has really sweet eyes.

Personality: 7/10 This guy is AMAZING. Nice, kind, polite, intelligent, interesting.. He can be a bit too curious and childish sometimes, but he's really nice!

Overall score: 6/10

24. Jim Hawkins, from "Treasure Planet"

I have a confession to make.. I haven't actually seen "Treasure Planet", I just know this guy exists, and that people ship him with many characters from different movies, like Ariel

But he looks VERY handsome

and emo.

Looks: 6/10 I like his blue eyes, and I think that ponytail suits him! Also, heard his voice for the first time today, and it's pretty much what I expected.

I decided that I'm not gonna do his personality, since I don't know anything about him, and it wouldn't be fair. He does, indeed, look very emo tho, so can somebody please confirm or deny this in the comments?

Overall: 6/10

23. David Kawena, from "Lilo and Stitch"

This man is THE BEST Disney boyfriend and there's nothing anybody could say or do that would change my mind.

He takes care of Nani and really listens to her, plays with and takes care of Lilo and Stitch, is super supportive and doesn't rush things!

Honestly we all want a boyfriend like David

Looks: 6.5 I'm honestly ALL for big guys who are nice and sensitive, plus his hair really is fancy. Plus, his fanart is one of the best I have seen for any Disney guy!

Personality: 7/10 He's the best Disney boyfriend, like I said, but I don't really remember this movie so the best I can give him is a 7

Overall score: 6.75/10

22. Phoebus, from "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"

I'm just gonna say one thing: Esmeralda had a great taste

I know that the topic of him is pretty controversial (bc some people dislike him while other like him), but this man introduced me to the "I flirt by being a sarcastic ass" trope and honestly, I will love him forever for it

Looks: 6.5/10 Love the man, hate the beard. I'm sorry, but small chin beards are not for me.

Personality: 7/10 This man works as a single soldier, respects women, helps and fights for minorities and flirts by being a sarcastic jerk and you're telling me YOU DON"T LOVE HIM???

Overall score: 6.75/10

21. Beast, from "Beauty and The Beast"

Because I saw some other people doing it, I'm gonna rate Beast and Prince Adam separately, even tho they technically are the same person. It's kind of understandable however, since his looks aren't the same at all.

This man walked so every other tsundere could run.

You call it being a jerk and then learning to not be one, I call it ✨character development✨

Seriously, I know that there are many topics of this movie being an example of Stockholm Syndrome, but it really isn't. Examples of Stockholm Syndrome in Disney are the relationship between Rapunzel and Mother Gothel, or the relationship between Frolo and Quasimodo. This movie is just about this big guy over here who learned to love with Belle's help.

Looks: 6.75/10 Idk what is it, but he's always been kind of attractive. His facial expressions with his blue eyes kill me. Not a fan of the horns tho.

Personality: 7/10 Chefs kiss. My weakness is people going from absolute jerks who don't care to warming up to a person and being soft. The song "Something there" where they both realize that the other might not be so bad is one of my favorites. Love him.

Overall score: 6.87/10

--

That would be all for this one, everyone! We are getting much closer to the actual good ones, so follow me or stay tuned to see who's on top of this chart!

And yes, I know I promised Marvel men too, but I don't see how you expect them to be this low on the list since they are all so fine?? They are gonna be there in the next part, promise!

[madstermojo2000]

Lucy! I heard of them through a mutual, and since I have weaknesses for both bands and violins, I decided to check them out. Actually after first listening to some of their music, I had to step back for a couple days to reset my preconceived ideas about them, because you know how pop music, especially K-pop I think, tends to use violins to create an epic or sad feeling? Combining that with the two other K-bands I listen to regularly being Onewe and Day6, when I heard "K-band with a violin," you can guess how I was expecting something very different. But I did come back to them after recalibrating, and quickly fell in love with their music. It's so sweet and comforting! It's very warm, if that makes sense? It can feel like sunshine and a fresh breeze, or a cozy blanket and a cup of tea by the fireside. Like TXT, I think Lucy not being among my ults is more about my relative lack of familiarity with them than anything else.

Like I said, I don't know much about Treasure. I know they debuted fairly recently, although with my time perception, a "fairly recent" debut could be any time from 2018 to last month, I've seen the name Bang Yedam around a lot, they have several Japanese members? several of them are very cute and round, and it's been too long without a comeback, because it's YG, but that's pretty much it.

I do have a lot of fun talking about music! I love analyzing things and picking out little details in general, and my parents are both very musical people and I took a few semesters of music theory, which have helped me really Listen to music.

The next mission is about ult biases, which is going to be. A little difficult for me. I very rarely have only one bias in a group, and in a lot of groups (including four of my six ult groups I mentioned), I can't even narrow it down to two or three. But I guess I might as well start by saying that my biases in Pentagon are Yuto, Kino, and Wooseok, and in Oneus, they're Leedo and Xion. If I get into why right now, this ask will probably get a little unmanageably long, but who are your biases in your ult groups?

I totally understand that about violins in kpop!! Like the pure essence of string instruments is there for the epic dramatic effect. I always think about Lucy in comparison to the score for Peter Pan, specifically the James Newton Howard one for the 2003 live action movie (one of my favorite btw not to nerd out about Peter Pan in a kpop post) but the like magical sound that I associate with Peter Pan is what I associate with Lucy. They just have that like happy, fairy-like, bright tone to their music and I love it.

Treasure does have Japanese members!! 4 to be exact!! They are very cute and round!! At least I have their variety show to carry me over until their next comeback.

That's so cool!! My parents aren't musical at all, other than just really liking music lol but I did do a lot of musical things growing up. I played the clarinet and tenor saxophone. I also took a semester of music theory in high school!! That's how I found out I'm tone deaf, like for real. I just thought I was bad at singing but now I know I'm like actually tone deaf and that's why I'm terrible!! I still love music a lot though (**cough cough** i'm in love with film scores **cough cough**)

I've always been pretty steady with my biases (which is a shocker given how much I love every member of every group I stan but its true)! With Boyfriend I've biased Kwangmin practically from day one but in the past like 3 years I've started to be bias wrecked by Youngmin. You know, you bias one twin and you can't get away without being bias wrecked by the other. With Seventeen I bias Vernon (overall group and hip hop unit), Hoshi (performance unit), and Woozi (vocal unit). With TXT I'm a toss-up between Yeonjun and Soobin. I could be Yeonjun leaning one day and the next Soobin leaning. With verivery I bias gyehyeon but minchan is very much bias wrecking me all the freaking time. With onf I bias e.tion!! (i have to explain why in a later message but he acted like an idiot once and I was in love). With treasure I have like bias levels I just love them so much. My top tier biases are Junkyu and Yoshi and my second tier biases are Asahi and Yedam!! And I don't have a bias in Lucy as I haven't gotten to know the members very well yet. And sam kim is a solo artist so he's my bias too.

I'm excited to hear why your biases are your biases!!!

You know, most Anti-Kataang/pro-Zutara blogs I see post their distaste for Kataang with the message that Katara deserves better than Aang. You're the first blog I've seen to post about how Aang deserves better than Katara; how he should've had time to grow up and come to terms with how different things have become before a relationship. And I really like that about this blog, because a lot of zutara bloggers give off the impression they don't like Aang, and I know most of them don't but...

(yeah, i’m not sure if “…” was to indicate a part two, or just u trailing off, bc i didn’t get anything further.)

Oh, make no mistake, Katara definitely deserved better than Kataang.

It’s just that, like, I joined the fandom around the end of the last year/beginning of this one, so by then all the things that could’ve been said about that, have been said.* So it felt a bit like beating a dead horse, you know?

But I think what it comes down to is the fact that Aang is my favourite character.

I was invested in Aang’s growth on a level I’ve never been before, or since.

And to see that growth stunted and reversed so that two grown men could live out their gross Nice Guy™ fantasy, all because this other ship was more popular… it’s rage inducing you know?

(Seriously though, a talented, smart kid suddenly faced with growing up, aware enough to realize adulthood is bullshit, especially when you’re sheltered like that… who runs away… like all of that is so far, so typical, but then, but then… consequences! Consequences happen. And through Books 1 & 2 he has to deal with them! Like, I have never identified with a character more than I have with Aang… until Book 3.

Because in Book 3, this smart, talented, sheltered kid that had to deal with the consequences of his actions gets to Peter Pan it.

I cannot describe the betrayal mini-me felt once I realized that this kid, who up until then was very much like me, gets a magical solution to all his problems and gets away with all of his flaws. Like, fuck you! I don’t get that! I don’t get to wave away my problems! I don’t get to completely forget and just magically drop all of my mistakes! I was looking at your show and thinking, “Well, if this goofy kid can deal with a hundred year war, I can deal with, like, normal growing up.” and you took that from me to live out your gross misogynistic fantasy, like who allowed you to make a children’s show and then betray your audience like that?)

I guess what I’m getting at is, most anti-Kataang people don’t find Aang’s story all that relatable so they don’t feel the need to differentiate between Aang, the twelve year old who’s trying his best to deal with the fact that everything he knew is gone, and the Nice Guy™ Bryke self-insert that replaces him in Book 3.

He deserved so much better.

*Well, not all of them, I’ve touched on it here, and I do intend to do a full meta on it, on the way they took Katara’s love for Aang, a love they themselves painted as pure, as holy, as divine and reduced it to something capable of petty jealousy.
