THE SECRET GARDEN (1993)

dir. agnieszka holland

[writerswho]

I'm starting a Batfam's book club, where I read books and assign them to a Batfam member.

The first one is Damian. I just read The Secret Garden and I couldn't stop thinking about how Mary and Colin are so much like him, and how Damian would love Dickon and his animals.

The next in line will be Jason with Vidas Secas and Memórias Póstumas.

[anons welcome, always.]

FOR MY UNPUBLISHED FICS:

Angst and romance, smut-driven-plot and polyamory themes and schemes. Hella emo (no upside down tho, so hurray for no end-of-the-world). 18+

CHORDS — Steve Harrington x fem!Hopper!reader

Friends to college roommates to lovers. Slowburn, modern day. Angsty with humor. Romance. Smut with plot. Post-Upside Down (they won, it’s over, yay! ...and now, they’re all in the future). 18+ Told from second-person view, reader is Hopper’s older daughter. Great blend of witty banter and hurt/comfort, coping from all the upside down mayhem, post S5 universe. Summary: The upside down is a thing of the past... literally. You're basically launched into the future like Marty McFly, and that means a shot at living a normal life is actually your new reality. All you ever wanted was to be a boring, broke college student with a little apartment all to herself, figuring out life one day at a time. Well, you're not broke (thanks, government hush-money!). You're the farthest thing from boring (hence: your life story). And you definitely don't live alone (cue: the best two roommates in the world, aka? Robin and Steve.) ...you also have a strange knack for managing rock bands. Cue: the career you never saw coming. Managing your best friend's band, Corroded Coffin, after they skyrocket overnight.

For the ship ask game: Mary Lennox/Dickon

Oh, very good question! Thank you! 🌷

What made you ship it? I mean - they're both still very young. In the film, there is a hint of a bit of (future) romance, kind of puppy love. And I can see that, because they have a similar approach to the garden (and one that connects them), in contrast to Colin who - for all of his appreciation for the garden - still treats it more like a king treats his kingdom, and less like a missel thrush would treat its nest.

What are your favorite things about the ship? Dickon makes Mary gentle - treats her like a wild animal that has never learned to trust and love, only to bite and scratch, and that among other things is what leads to her thriving and coming into full bloom. And they share this understanding of trust and secrecy which is, I think, the core of a Secret Garden and the heart of the story.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship? It would not work - they are different in social standing, and even if they themselves did not care about it (Mary cares because that is how she was brought up, and Dickon cares out of respect for Mary's reputation), society would not allow them to be together openly and happily.
