Amen to everything (that I have seen) obviously. But also::

but underneath the Peter & Wendy fairytale
//smashes in breathlessly

WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT PETER AND WENDY

HOLD MY FEELS ALRIGHT

MOST EPIC IN THE "FUCKED UP FRIENDSHIP" DEPARTMENT OF EVER OF EVER.

((I want to sob with delight the way Peter/Wendy interact on Once Upon a Time - it's every fucked up, disastrous thing I ever wanted for the two of them.))

Somewhere in the depths of my squishy, baby heart is a teeeeeny black center. And that black center is FUCKING PETER PAN AND WENDY.

So yes. I throw black parades of doom and angst when people compare Amy/11 to Peter/Wendy. Because they think they are making a comparison to a fairy tale, but they are actually making a case for how truly fucked up both pairs are.

HOLD ME.

SISTERS + COMPETENCE PORN. WHERE HAS THIS SHOW BEEN ALL MY LIFE? Minus Ichabod.tralalala Ichabod has gone from mildly amusing/cutey to OMG WHERE IS JENNY GET THIS LOSER OFF MY SCREEN FOR FUCK'S SAKE ( ... )

YOU UNDERSTAND

lol, I don't watch Once Upon A Time but I've seen gifsets on my dash that make me want to Youtube the clips. However, this is probably a very bad idea.

And that black center is FUCKING PETER PAN AND WENDY.
Intro post tbh. I'm convinced 99% of my personal damage derives from this story.

(the Buffy/Faith section warmed my soul, really it did. there should be a Buffy revolution centered on the ladies)

Don't do it.

[[Spoilers]]:: in 2013 Peter Pan has baby-Wendy locked in a cage and he pulls her out occasionally to "play games" (aka: trick other, dim-witted children into trusting Pan because he loves poor, sick, dying Wendy soooo much) he never let her grow up - and meanwhile John and Michael are growing up (slowly? they are adults anyway) doing his dirty work so that they can stop him from killing her. He never lets her grow up and he never lets her leave. All the fucked up everything I love it so much.

When I was a kid, Bluebeard was my secret fave and I always attributed a lot of my damage to that (because: worst) until very recently, when Peter Pan seemingly came back into my life... ((but seriously what kid likes the story where the child-bride watches her brothers kill her ( ... )

How do we make the women-centric Buffy revolution happen.

O.O Don't make me want to watch it.

trololol I never actually read Bluebeard but that sounds like a jam tbh.

Also - where the hell is my shopping montage and Ichabod in skinny jeans? Like seriously get your acts together.
I can co-sign this.

re: Heirs, there is a certain reunion indeed. You may want to google it.

I have too many shows to watch, excuse you. FALALALALALA YOU WILL NOT TEMPT ME.

That's literally all there is. Wendy gets an episode in S2 (set before she meets Peter) and then has about 10min of screentime in S3. She's depressingly underused.

Bluebeard Is the one about the wealthy man who marries a super young girl and before leaving on business gives her a set of keys to the house. But she isn't allowed to use one key that opens a special door. So he leaves. And then the minx opens the door - to find the bodies of all his dead wives. The key bleeds and he's all set to kill her when she sees her brothers (7 I think) on their horses coming to kill him and save her. Basically the best fairy tale of all time.

O.o Well, what have I been doing all my life.

Oh, fuck your gifspam and cunning manipulation ploy. DO I LOOK LIKE I NEED ANOTHER CHARACTER TO RUIN MY LIFE?

VV upset with you.

I'm not even sure. Bluebeard's wife (always unnamed) is superior in every way.

I wrote Elena as Bluebeard's wife in this piece last year (which you read, but may have more of an impact now that you know the story) and am still in love with it.

Also - Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber is by and far the best modern adaptation of Bluebeard to exist ever ever ever. (plus she's boss)

DO I LOOK LIKE I NEED ANOTHER CHARACTER TO RUIN MY LIFE?
Yes, actually.

Because I neglected her hats:::

HOW COULD I FORGET ELENA AS BLUEBEARD'S WIFE. OH, ELENA. :____;

I'm a huge Angela Carter fan but have somehow never read The Bloody Chamber. Must rectify. TY for the link!
