... in which it's all rather explicitly sexual

That was really interesting! Thanks for posting it. I've always wanted to read a lot of Freud, but I never manage to get through more than a couple of chapters every couple of years because his obsession with dangly bits is so completely irritating.

Oh, and two other totally unsolicited comments:

This is why, in theatrical versions, Hook is often played by the same actor as plays Mr Darling

I was actually under the impression that Barrie intended for the same actor the play both parts. Not certain about that, though.

And I think you're missing an "are" in the second sentence of the second paragraph ("The features of Neverland are those...").

Heh, obsessed is definitely the word. I mean, he wrote about lots of other stuff too, but in the end it's still All About Sex.

And ack, you're right. *corrects*

Wow! That was really fun. And very you. :-)

Fascinating! It really does fit in perfectly, doesn't it? Thanks for posting it.

1.) I am totally putting this in my memories and saving it to my hard drive, and you will probably see why after finals, and let me just say, it ain't pretty.

2.)
YOU RULE MY ISLAND!

Def'n of "it"

The word "it," as in, "it ain't pretty," refers not to your Peter Pan essay, but to my reason for saving it, BECAUSE I THINK THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE REVOLVES AROUND ME.

No, wait, I think the universe revolves around caffeine. Righty-o then.

Possibly you and caffiene? Personally I'm rather in favour of both. :)

All very interesting, and a good read.

But what I must say, which unfortunately bears no relevance to Peter Pan is this:

OMG SQUEE YOUR ICON! *dies*

Ahem.

Heheheh, Tim Roth and Gary Oldman are never off topic. Never, dammit. *squees too*
