Out of control Edwardian youths refuse to clap at production of Peter Pan, force distraught J.M Barrie to pull out rarely seen "Tinkerbell Fucking Dies" ending

[julianova44]

You probably know this but shitpost ruining fun fact for anybody who doesn’t:

When the play first was performed, JM Barrie et al were so concerned this might happen that they instructed the orchestra to drop their instruments and clap at this point, just in case

[lizardsfromspace]

I did not know this and I'm grateful for being informed

Peter Pan edited by Anne Hiebert Alton (2011)

(sorry to interrupt joke post but) this is true!

Children not clapping did happen too, (and some were even expected to have hissed, which was later written into the 1928 playscript and 1911 novel). But my all time favourite anecdote about it is from Pauline Chase (who played Peter)'s intro to Peter Pan's Post Bag 1909:

Children love to clap their hands at the play because then they feel that they are really part of it, and you can see them holding their hands poised ready to seize an opportunity. Their great chance is when I ask them to clap their hands if they believe in fairies, and so save Tink's life. But they are very wrathful if any one claps who has the reputation of being a cynic, and once there was quite an uproar in the front row of the dress circle because of a girl who clapped. Those about her pulled down her arms angrily. "How dare you clap," they cried, "when you know you don't believe in fairies!" There was one dreadfully hard-hearted little boy who came to the theatre not to clap. That was his object for coming, and he came round "behind" to tell me so in the middle of the play. His teeth were firm set. "I won't clap," he said doggedly; "I'm not going to clap." And when the time came he didn't clap; above the clapping of all the others I could hear him shouting from a box, "Peter, I'm not clapping."

(Tink was revived each time anyway)

Don't invest in trading cards. Trading cards are volatile, they're not future proof. Invest in beautiful custom resin horse figurines. Beautiful custom resin horse figurines are forever.

Everybody who ever tried to tell me that disasters and tragedies are “part of God’s plan” only ever succeeded in driving me farther from The Church. How you gonna worship a guy who gives kids cancer as a moral lesson to their parents. That’s fucked up man. Plus he already tried to take me out on my very first day, so there’s that.

Fuck you, God. Get bent.

[asteroidtroglodyte]

Although it bears mention that that is my issue with God, not with Christians. My issue with Christians is all these so-called adults who feel zero responsibility for the effects of their actions on their descendants. They’re so busy on either their delusional fantasies about heaven or fantasizing about sending people to hell that they don’t consider how cutting down trees and polluting waterways and polluting the air and dismantling social institutions and building terrible weapons affects those who come after.

Who gives a shit about the kids, right?

[asteroidtroglodyte]

“Oh God’ll sort them out in the end”

See the thing is they’re plundering my grandchildren’s natural inheritance today and Hell is a metaphor not an actual place and the folks doing the plundering are sleeping on silk sheets and getting nice medical care so they can live to be 96 but go ahead and tell me how the biggest issue facing our society today is men in skirts

[asteroidtroglodyte]

I’m not done the Venn diagram between the “abortion is murder” crowd and the crowd that thinks it’s acceptable to use children as slaves is a fucking circle and I’m tired of these folks acting like their morals are founded on anything deeper than “obey me or I’ll fucking kill you”

there is not a unit of time currently in existence small enough that it could accurately measure just how fast archer would kill tuvix

[paksthestoic]

Star Trek Captains in order of how fast they kill Tuvix:

1. Archer (does not feel bad)

2. Burnham (feels a Little Bad)

3. Janeway (we personally witnessed the devastation in them big ol I Had to Kill Somebody eyes, but she recovers quickly due to personal love of Tuvok and Neelix)

4. Sisko (spends awhile confirming every single possible alternative, does Not Feel Bad except when Tuvix directly calls him murderer)

5. Kirk (tries to Kobayashi Maru it. Dealer’s choice on if this results in a Tuvix AND Neelix and Tuvok live, or if it becomes one of those things that he carries foreverrr)

6. Picard (this could be a two parter episode with how much he would need to soliloquize on identity and the rights of the individual and the authority limits of a captain. But yeah, he’s killing Tuvix).

This doesn’t even touch on how the non-Janeway captains would react if their Tuvix was ALSO made up of one half Their Best Friend and Moral Compass.

[knivesandteeth]

Missing the bit where sisko either blackmails tuvix into doing it himself or getting Garak to do it

Also saru isnt killing tuvix

[unamccormack]

Garak murdered Neelix before the dilemma arose.
