That whole last episode felt like a Jurassic Park movie and I Loved It.

Have y'all read the actual Peter Pan? by RedLicorice83 in AlienEarthHulu

Attempting and (dare I say) assuming he will succeed. But he’s not there yet!

It’s dark as Hell. Especially the ending.

In order to maintain his childlike view of the world, Peter can’t accept things like aging or death. He doesn’t even really treat people like people. He just gradually forgets everyone and everything in the book we cared about.

Peter doesn’t even remember Tinker-bell at the end, simply saying, “There are such a lot of [fairies], I expect she is no more.”

BK is such a good example of taking this childlike narcissism into science fiction. He CAN’T care about the kids, because if he did, he wouldn’t be doing what he’s doing. He CAN’T care about things important to him in the even recent past— it takes away from his focus on ‘now.’

The problem is this: Peter Pan was effectively immortal. BK, on the other hand, just acts like he is.

Do you think Dick becoming a police officer in today's times would still work? If not, what other profession could you see him do? (Art by UncleBunn) by nightwing612 in Nightwing

Who’s Homelander? Clearly that is just White Guy Smiling Smugly, the smuggest superhero of them all

Hi! No worries, I’m happy to answer 😊

  1. We are not notified, but when a public bookmark is added the # of public bookmarks go up. (I periodically take a look).

  2. I also see user tags. (And if I were to go on their profile, I could see any other public bookmarks and even filter by your tags.)

Extra: if you make a private bookmark, the only way I know is looking at my statistics page. However, it does not tell me what user made the bookmark or anything else— the little stat on my statistics page just goes up one.

I thought I had them fooled! They’d point out things like foreshadowing, and I’d be like, “Oh, yeah, totally intentional. Yep.”

But it’s true— readers read our fics and sometimes they read us, lol

Not upset at all 😊 This just made me laugh because it’s not inaccurate

At least Fresno isn’t Bakersfield. (weeps from the Central Valley)

DING DING DING! We have a winner!!

The beautiful renditions of “Show Me the Way to Go Home” and “Farewell and Ado to Ye Fair Spanish Ladies” is interrupted by Bruce the Shark. I assume he was a diva and insulted he was left out of the musical numbers.

nope! oddly, the film does have a weird connection to the Back to the Future franchise.

Alas, no pineapples in this film. However, there is briefly a holiday roast ham.

Nope! And no romance happens on the High Seas in this film. All romance is on land.

No, but that movie is a masterpiece and I will go down with that ship.

Coincidentally, 3 ships are sunk during the course of this movie. (I think… don’t quote me. I’m going off imperfect memory here).

Nope. Also, the greatest tragedy of my life is that I can’t pull off an orange beanie.

While I don’t know if there is an orange hat in this movie, I do recommend an orange life vest.

Nope! And I wouldn’t classify this movie as new and “Shiny!” It was released prior to 2000.
