Peter Pan (1953)

[dontturnupthelight]

what she says: i'm fine

what she means: the alternate ending to peter pan (2003) where wendy is all grown up and telling the story to jane is so FLDSKFHSIOING miserable like ???? wendy keeping the kiss on a chain around her neck for her whole life. “but wendy was not to see peter pan again” “did she mind very much?” “no. she knew he would forget. he has so many adventures.” but like !!!! he DIDN’T FORGET !!!!! peter forgets tinkerbell and hook and a billion other things but HE COMES BACK FOR WENDY and she’s moved on and it BREAKS him bc that was his worst fear !!! BEING FORGOTTEN IS PETER PAN'S WORST FEAR and it must feel so much like when he came back to see his parents and they had a new baby and he's just crying and then the repeat of “boy, why are you crying?” like why...the fuck

Disney Aesthetic: Peter Pan

All this has happened before, and it will all happen again. But this time it happened in London. It happened on a quiet street in Bloomsbury. That corner house over there is the home of the Darling family. And Peter Pan chose this particular house because there were people here who believed in him.

Everyone always wants to talk about Hook or Pan. Everyone always wants to debate which one is good and which is evil - who we’re supposed to follow and who we aren’t. The Peter Pan mythos has pretty much shrunk down to nothing but Hook and Pan (Hook, SyFy’s Neverland, Pan, OUAT, etc). Occasionally Tinkerbell factors in (Hook, Disney’s Tinkerbell, OUAT, etc). There’s one character, however, that always gets sidelined - which is puzzling since they are the main character of both the play and the book. That character is, of course, Wendy Darling.

Peter Pan is Wendy’s coming of age story. Wendy who decides to run away from home. Wendy who realizes that she must grow up - and that there’s no shame in that. Wendy who sees Peter as deficient and sees Hook as empty and decides that, no, she doesn’t want to be a part of that. Wendy gets the adventure she’s always wanted and she turns away because she realizes that it’s lacking. She’s the only one who truly sees the hollowness of being young forever. Barrie even says “You need not be sorry for her. She was one of the kind that likes to grow up. In the end she grew up of her own free will a day quicker than other girls.”

People always debate on who the hero is. When they learn that Peter could be horrid they assume it has to be Hook. Of course, the answer is that neither of them are the hero. Wendy is the hero of the story. You’re not supposed to be like Peter, who kept every good and bad aspects of being a child and can’t tell right from wrong. You’re not supposed to be Hook, either. He let go of everything childish and loving about him and became bitter and evil. They’re both the extreme ends of the scale. You’re supposed to fall in the middle, to hold onto the things about childhood that make it beautiful - the wonder, the imagination, the innocence - while still growing up and learning morality and responsibility. You’re not supposed to be Hook. You’re not supposed to be Peter Pan.

You’re supposed to be Wendy Darling.
