I'm actually looking for two fanfics, if you could help me find either one that would be great. I hope they aren't deleted.

1. Where Peter becomes an intern at SI but Tony doesn't know he's Spider-Man but The Lizard is hunting him down, tries to get to Peter in the Tower and the Avengers protect him. Peter created an ice gun using stuff around the Avengers floor. (I remember this being on fanfiction.net)

2. Post Infinity War where Tony is having a panic attack and FRIDAY plays a video of Peter trying to calm Tony down. The Avengers see this and think Peter's a good kid.

sorry for the wait, but we have two possibilities for the second one. The first one Isn’t post Infinity War but Tony does have a panic attack in Chapter 10.

I'm Just Peter by Jen27ny

There was a pattern Peter wasn’t aware of.  Whenever his morning started great, his day would end in agony. The morning of his parent’s death had been great. The morning of the OsCorp field trip had been great. The morning of Ben’s death had been great. The morning of the Homecoming dance had been great.  This morning started great.

A Thimbleful of Starlight by coal_scuttle_waltz

After Titan, Tony Stark grieves. His team watches from the sidelines, at a loss to understand the depths of his emotion.

[mrsvalbaker]

"Sometimes it's all too much monkey, sometimes I feel like I can't breathe I don't feel like I can breathe..."

Eddie pulled her soft, warm body into his arms into his legs until she was in nothing but a cage of his limbs with his pale flesh and sliced denim and worn band tee that smelled like her fabric softener.

She hid in him, her favorite hiding place, her Neverland her lost boys hideaway with her very own Peter Pan. She so badly wants to be his Tinker Bell, never his Wendy because Wendy goes away, she goes home, she grows up and tucks away those memories of lingering thimbles and cannibal mermaids.

Eddie was always overly protective of her, since the day they met. Wasn't long ago, but sometimes he felt like they met in a past life, if he believed in that sort of thing. Because right away, they just clicked.

"Sweetheart, you don't have to worry about breathing. I'll breathe for you, don't you know? You don't have to do anything, I'll breathe for you, I'll chew your food for you, you trip and fall and I'll bruise for you. I'll take care of you, always." It wasn't a promise, it was a threat.

wish - @bartylusmicrofic - words: 530

‘For the moment she had forgotten his ignorance about kisses,’ Barty reads, ‘“I thought you would want it back,” he said a little bitterly, and offered to return her the thimble.’

On Saturday nights, Barty will always read to Regulus the books he has stolen from his house. His voice is normally a little bit raspy at this stage, by the end of the day. Regulus loves to listen to it none-the-less. Ever since Regulus joined the Slytherin Quidditch Team in their third year, Barty has taken it upon himself to offer his undying support, and will typically be on the quidditch pitch screaming his support at Slytherin practises. Afterwards, he will return to the the common room and scream at his housemates over a game of not-so-friendly poker (though recently, Slytherin House has learnt not to play with Barty as he typically cleans up). 

Barty turns the page and clears his throat. He reads animatedly, putting on voices for each of the characters in this book about flying children who do not grow up and tiny, mean pixies and muggle children who are lured away in the dead of the night. It’s a strange book that Regulus isn’t sure whether he likes it. But he let’s Barty read anyway, because sometimes Barty throws in his own commentary and listening to that is always entertaining.

‘“Oh dear,” said the nice Wendy, “I don’t mean a kiss, I mean a thimble.”

“What’s that?”

“It’s like this.” She kissed him.’

Regulus lays in bed with Barty, resting against his chest, and draws on Barty’s forearm as he reads. Back in fourth year, Barty began tattooing over some of Regulus’s drawings with a spell he found after sneaking into the Restricted Section. The R.A.B Regulus wrote on his wrist. The Leo constellation. The tiny little cartoon snake Regulus is quite proud of and Barty has named Walter. One day, Regulus will write his name, regulus, over Barty’s heart and hope that Barty tattoos it there so Regulus will remain with him always.

There are stars on the roof of their dormitory that Regulus drew back in their first year, enchanted to twinkle and glow. Constellations Regulus arranged: Leo, Canis Major, Orions Belt. And then three huge, glowing stars he has named after them. Regulus. Barty. Evan. When Barty reads, Regulus watches them in the stars on the roof above them and he hopeshopeshopes that they will be eternal together. Young forever, immortalised, beyond the bullshit of the world.

‘“Funny!” said Peter gravely. “Now shall I give you a thimble?”

“If you wish to,” said Wendy, keeping her head erect this time.

Peter thimbled her, and almost immediately she screeched.’

Regulus squirms when Barty noses into his hair and snuffles, and then tries to bite his ear. ‘I will thimble you!’ Barty declares. He lowers the book and uses his free hand to tip Regulus’s head backwards so he can thimble him firmly upside-down. He slides his tongue over Regulus’s, sucks on his bottom lip, the kiss just a little bit dirty. 

‘Thimble me again, Wendy,’ Regulus murmurs against Barty’s mouth.

Barty laughs, his breath warm between them, and he thimbles Regulus again.

I really hope you’ll write Peter Pan in Rainbow Valley! You’re the most qualified to match Barrie’s and Montgomery’s respective tones, all your fics are very whimsical and funny. I’d LOVE to read it.

Lol! Oh, thank youuu. That’s so nice! 🥹 And just so you know, I’m really happy to have another J.M. Barrie mutual, I feel like we’re kind of thin on the ground on tumblr. I follow all his tags here, and they’re so rarely added to.

I like half drafted an outline on this, and will keep it in the future-maybe-someday file for ‘fics that want to be written,’ but it’s a real purgatory over there, if I’m being honest. But outlining it has admittedly taken zero effort, because these two stories almost seem meant to be joined. We know Maud was a huge fan of J.M. Barrie, and by extension of Peter and Wendy… and I’ve long personally thought that it was beyond pure coincidence that ‘James Matthew Blythe’ is so similar in name to ‘James Matthew Barrie’… but even Rainbow Valley (place not book), which is kind of this liminal space between fairyland and reality, sacred to childhood and play, has some existing Neverlandness about it already built in. And then there’s these compelling similarities between Mrs. Darling and Mrs. Anne Blythe as well; both charming mothers, both adult advocates for/in/of imagination, and both wonderful storytellers (Peter lingers around the eaves of the Darlings Bloomsbury home to hear her stories) that are devotedly loved by their husbands and children. But for me, I think it's a huge (the hugest) point of interest to loop in Walter, who saw the Piper, like really really saw him, in Rainbow Valley. How easy it would be to kick out the German Pied Piper and drawn in Peter Pan and his flute, instead… two characters who are already deeply linked by folklore. Elsewhere, if the Jolly Roger, did take a wrong star and run aground in the Rainbow Valley brook, it’s just asking to have the suspended-in-time Neverland pirates be familiar with Captain Jim and maybe Lost Margaret, from bygone Life-Book days. I’d even give Shirley a boyish thimble-passing romance with Tiger Lily, the same way I’ve always wanted to see him paired off with a Mi’kmaq girl. Aunt Mary Maria’s hand also shoots right up for the doubling Hook-ish authoritarian/‘grow up already’/take-all-the-fun-away role (Gilbert would never suit it the way Mr. Darling did). But anyway! With all this low hanging fruit, it’d seriously be so simple to neatly tuck these two books into each other at every corner. It’s really all right there.

Really cool shirt design you can buy here! I love that they included the thimble in this design. Also Peter’s feather hanging from the claw gives the boy just a bit of a menacing feel. It would be a good book cover design, I think.

[dearreader]

no but wendy by maisie peters is so brilliant cause she says “lost my page when you kissed me” and in the actual book there’s a thing about kisses and peter not understanding what it is so wendy gives him a thimble and he gives her an acorn and then she follows him to neverland, so wendy lost her way when she “kissed” peter and so did maisie but the kisses are in different contexts but still work together for maisie to tell her own version of the story about her relationship with this guy but still tie it into a classic children’s book we all know already so we can follow the ideas and theme and even feel the what she felt but also the need to leave even though it hurts her so much

[scriberye]

I had this idea that Jason would probably love fairy tales and Pamela would read a book of them to him. So, I hope you also read Peter Pan or else the thimble and acorn reference will be completely lost. I know it's an acorn button, but work with me here.

You and Jason have a tentative understanding. An unspoken agreement that you’ll keep to your cabin, and he will leave you alone. It’s tempting to go swim in the lake, or wander the forest, but you don’t — Jason doesn’t allow it. You tread carefully, only exploring the bit of forest around your cabin.

Not too far from your cabin stands a large, weathered stump. You’re uncertain when it happened, or why, but somehow it became a place of silent communication between you and Jason. In the early mornings, with the sky painted gold, you’d leave supplies on the stump for him. By evening, he’d leave something for you in return.

It’s an odd arrangement, but you can’t deny the happiness you feel from it. Maybe it’s from the isolation, but you feel as if you’ve formed something akin to friendship with Jason.

And you’re content with this.

Until you aren’t.

One morning, you approach the stump with a flutter in your chest and a silver thimble clutched in your hands. It’s old. Worn from years of use. Well-loved. You place it down on the stump, hoping it will convey the feelings you can’t say aloud. A confession you hope won’t break the rules.

Days pass, and although the thimble is gone, Jason has left nothing in return. Your heart breaks, and doubts creep out from the dark corners of your mind. You’ve overstepped — and you jump at every shadow.

One morning, you check for the last time.

There’s an acorn on the stump. Perfectly polished and painted red. Your heart leaps with joy, and you know without a doubt now, he understands. You cradle the precious gift close to your chest and head home.

Before you make it to the steps of the porch, a shadow at the tree line catches your attention. There, at the invisible boundary that keeps the cabin safe, stands Jason — silently seeking permission.

A soft smile tugs at your lips, and you beckon him closer. Jason takes a hesitant step forward, gauging your reaction, and when you don’t run, he continues. Your heart thuds hard as he approaches, each step bringing him closer to you.

💚 ILLUMI HEADCANONS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY 💚

idk but i just love imagining random facts about illumi, that don't really add to his character, but kindof do too? Maybe it's because there isn't much screen time of illumi in the anime that my brain needs to fill all that empty space of longing in my heart of what could have been.

SO HERE ARE RANDOM ILLUMI (HEADCANON) FACTS THAT SERVE NOTHING:

He drinks beer and uses his teeth to open the bottles. He used to have a collection of bottlecaps, but then he gave them to Killua. So whenever Illumi opened a bottle, the cap would hence force go to Killua. Now the jar of bottlecaps is somewhere in Killua's room collecting dust.

After finishing an assassintion, he likes to get fastfood. Something quick and indulgent, like it's a cheat day. If he was on a job with his brothers then they'd hit a bodega afterwards. Sometimes he would bring food back to Milluki too.

He can hold a burger in one hand and tear through a ketchup packet with his teeth. He dips his food so much, he rarely eats anything without sauce.

Like Silva, Illumi has had a few pets in his life. One of them being a bear. He named it Pikelet. (I'll explore this one more in my fic!)

Although murder is his trade, that shouldn't hinder his other passions, including wild life conservation! This boy grew up in the mountains, albiet privately owned. You can't convince me he isn't a goblin child at heart.

He always thought he deserved to have fangs.

When he sees a walking stick lying on the ground, he has the urge to pick it up and wield it like a sword.

When he was eight he read all the narnia books. Peter was his comfort character, but he wanted to be Prince Caspian. To this day, if you ask him why he likes Narnia, he will give you a disseration and explain why Lucy is the strongest of all the penvensie siblings. He has never had turkish delight, but believes he would betray his siblings for them, they just look so good!

He could grow antlers out of pure will power. No, literally, he can. He can and will show you. "I'm a crytid. Look at my antlers."

He's still a Goosebumps kid at heart. When autumn rolls around, he he lays in bed and watches his favorite spooky shows (scooby doo, goosebumps, are you afraid of the dark?, tales from the crypt)

When he was little, he used to play in the forest by himself ALOT. One time, he crawled into a log, but the log was at the top of a hill and it began to roll down with him in it and then it rolled into a pond. He was able to escape, but he almost drowned and never told anyone what happened. He was a little mortified to tell anyone because he almost died doing something stupid. He'll tell you he has done alot of stupid things in the woods, but won't divulge more than that.

He's actually kind of good at acting and loves watching movies. This is part of why he is so good at diguises, he studies the actors in movies lol Sometimes he repeats lines from movies randomly in the house. Out of nowhere, he shouts 'BILBOOOO BAGGINSSSS' in a gandolf like voice. It's okay, just accept it.

Illumi has rehabilitated many opossums in his life.

He owns an animal rescue ranch, under a different identity of one of his disguises, that rebahilibates injured animals and prepares to release them back to the wild. His current disguise is an old man, but Illumi plans to 'die' and come back as his son/heir. Yes, he has worked out an entire line of succession for a rescue ranch. Did he have to do this? No, but he did anyway.

Once Illumi officiated the wedding between a frog named Freddie Lime to another frog named Emily Spinach. Oh, he was also high, but the wedding was beautiful, and Milluki fished him out of the pond afterwards.

There's a deer in Kukuroo Mountain that is fond of Illumi. If it sees him, it will run up to him. Illumi doesn't know what the forest calls the deer, but he calls it Thimble. He gives Thimble treats, and Thimple lets Illumi pet him, the arrangement has worked out very well so far.

Kukuroo Mountain is self sustainable, and alot of the food they cook they grow themselves. There's also a farm, with cows. Illumi would just be chilling on a hamick and then suddenly killua runs past him, and then so does a cow. Illumi goes back to napping, this isn't his mess to clean up.

"Concept: I will continue to bottle up all my emotions until I snap."

Here were some facts! I have more stuff, but those are spoilers for my fanfic (where shadows touch), My obsession might be unhealthy but it's delicious and i love it so I'm not gonna stop.

*peace signs on in, hands you a mug of tea, refuses to elaborate* 'Sup.

Sleep deprived idea because that trailer left me too feral (plus the fact I'll probably hold on stuff for Fia, Una and Dia until I have every single lore bit of TOTK injected into my veins and that also doesn't help)

Imagining Player humming this to themselves and the Chain after every blood moon in Wild's Time, and at least Wild and Time being incredibly delighted/hysterical, specially if they heard the original lyrics:

https://youtu.be/HPRluY5YZCY

Bonus points if at any point they just end up forgetting where they were and just manage to belt out the high notes like a professional opera singer or something and it just registers to Wild and Time as a seraned or something. Or the plot twist: they hummed it at some point during Time as Mask's very bad, awful, no good three days in Termina to cope with the trauma (come on, the Termina moon is genuinely nightmare fuel if you're not an horror fan specially with the implications) or during a Blood Moon on Wild's Time, and Time still hums or sings the lyrics to this day to himself, and Wild also does whenever a blood moon happen to cope and turns out the way they're all united is not through Twilight or Player being the Guide or something, it's just through shared Moon is Haunted ��� Trauma that no one in the Chain really registers and it drives them up the wall while Wild, Player and Time are basically the shaking hands meme, specially after that gigantic blood moon in TOTK. Even more bonus points if hilariously enough the way Time or Warriors remembers Player is the Guide is because Wild and or/Player hummed that song nonchantly, and Time remembers humming it with Player as Mask or maybe playing it on the ocarina or Warriors remembers Mask and Player hummed that song together whenever they saw a full moon in the sky.

Also, Hyrule being Peter Pan is too accurate and good, and also consider: Player has their phone with them right? And it apparently has plenty of battery life? Imagine if they have the classic Disney movies downloaded, and they have Hyrule watch Peter Pan with them, just a thought, and it accidentally turns into a movie watching marathon with the Chain (I think Wind would like Moana, and imagine showing Mononoke Hime to Wild). Although they might have to explain how the moving images work as opposed to pictures like Wild's Slate take.

Something something. Sleep deprived au that came to me in a dream: Player but the longer they stay in Hyrule as the Guide and move through various time periods the more eldritch they become due to the very nature of the guide as a possible deity and/or the world loving the Guide as much as the Guide loves the LoZ world idk.

Anyway, hope you have a nice day and have fun when TOTK comes out! Sadly I do not have a Switch myself so I'll live vicariously through all people who play it!

-A Very Sleep Deprived and Awkward Summertime Musician.

Player bullying the moon has become one of my favourite Player memes at this point.

They're gotta protect their boys and just the image of them standing in front of a full moon like "I'M GONNA COME UP THERE AND BLOW YOU UP, JUST LIKE THE ASTRONAUTS SHOULD HAVE DONE DECADES AGO!!" Does it confuse the rest of them? Yes, it sure does, but they're not stopping.

Also Player mid movie pausing and just pointing to Peter Pan with Hyrule like "That's you." And he would proceeds to raid the Vet's stuff for a thimble so he can make an amazing and corny kiss joke

And for your sleep deprived au?....Wink, wink, nudge, nudge

HOPE YOU'RE WELL SUM!

[justangrymacaroni]

my first butch crush was when i was like 8, and it was cathy rigby as peter pan.

i was OBSESSED with the filmed version of the broadway musical that came in this tape:

and i would get so shy during the thimble kiss scene i had to hide my face under a blanket

[captainimfangirling]

Why are people saying the Peter & Wendy was more faithful to the book but they were not. Only thing they used was Wendy giving Peter a thimble, Peter giving her a acorn, and the line where Wendy asked him why he’s crying which wasn’t used until the very end. They just made a completely different version of their animated movie and threw in a few things from the book.

[jivvin]

ok so in the last couple of weeks i have watched all of the John Wick movies, and if you're interested, here are my impressions of all of them (under the cut 'cause it's gotten a bit long):

John Wick 1 - all-around great, a must watch. a simple, but really well-executed plot, a cast of charismatic characters, an intriguing world with its own set of rules, a nuanced hero and a layered villain to match, american actors speaking russian with the thickest possible accent, incredibly cool action scenes, lots of dead russians (for the soul), and Lance Reddick being amazing, even if his part is a small one.

John Wick 2: The Return of John Wick - it's fine. it's a solid action movie, though when it comes to the plot, characters and worldbuilding, this time the style starts to noticeably dominate over substance. Lance Reddick continues to be great, and there are some nice appearances by Peter Stormare, Ruby Rose, and Peter Serafinowicz as well. its main fault, for me, is in how completely unnecessary it is to begin with.

John Wick 3: The Wickening - it's shit. the plot is idiotic, the new characters are flat and disposable, the old ones are shadows of their former selves. the more worldbuiling they reveal, the more pretentious and dumb it all retroactively becomes. the whole movie is a string of frankly ridiculous action scenes set in pretty places, and to cool music, but with no fucking substance behind them at all. Lance Reddick is great as always of course, and it was nice to see the "old guard" in Anjelica Huston and Marc Dacascos, but all of them were ultimately wasted on this piece of garbage. the final scene is nothing but a spit in the audience's face.

John Wick 4: Here We Go Again - it has the highest imdb score of all the JW movies, so i feel kinda insane for saying this, but honestly, i struggle to call it a movie. or rather, a story. its a 3(!!!)-hour long stream of protracted, fantastical action scenes, and i mean "fantastical" in a "have completely no connection with reality" way. there are no humans in this thing either - just a stack of cardboard cutouts, devoid of emotion and completely fucking unkillable until the writers have no use for them anymore. the plot? there's enough of it to fill a thimble, maybe. if you cope really hard. Lance Reddick is killed off in the first 15 minutes, and that is honestly where i should have stopped watching, and saved myself the torture. Hiroyuki Sanada and Clancy Brown were a joy to watch of course, but they've got barely anything to work with, and were ultimately wasted, as well as literally all other actors in this thing. overall, it's just a waste. three fucking hours of nothing. the only bright spot - at the very end, when i realized it was the last one, and they weren't gonna make any more.

Lucid MV discussion

So...1-spoilers (duh). You can watch the Lucid MV here, and I 10,000% recommend you do before reading the rest of this...and these are just ramblings about the theme and ideas that I feel about the MV. I haven't searched out any interviews or anything about the ideas behind it...I'm just going off what I see.

The vibe I got, and one that was echoed by others in a Discord... very much Peter Pan vibes. It's what I thought of right away. The overall story of the video, the visuals, it's all very much classical Peter Pan, with a bit of Faerie prince.

I guess we're going chronologically, because that's what makes sense to me, we start with wide shot of the room where Pornappan is sleeping (that is the actress's name, and it seems weird to just refer to her with no name at all, so we're going with real name, and I'll also just be calling Jeff Jeff).

And we see the open window, with curtains fluttering, which is a visual you will see in many retellings of the Peter Pan story. (This is not, as far as I can tell from a Peter Pan retelling, but it had the vibe, and this post is already gonna take me an hour +.)

The setting itself is also very western fairytale inspired, from the location and decor of the room, to the costumes. All of it has a traditional English countryside manner type of feel, and I do genuinely wonder when and where it was filmed, as it doesn't necessarily look like my own preconceived notions of Thailand visually.

The initial seeing of Jeff asleep on the floor, reminded me so much of the scene in Hook where Peter remembers seeing Moira for the first time that I had to rewatch it because I thought I might be misremembering.

I wasn't. It's not an exact match by any means, but it very much has the same emotional feeling I think.

Just the general awe of seeing a person so beautiful...which like...yeah.

As Jeff starts returning to visit Pornappan, the Peter Pan vibe really solidifies for me, he brings her the fruit and the flower and it's all very innocent and sweet, very reminiscent of the thimble-kiss.

She sort of patches up his injuries, which made me think of Wendy sewing Peter's shadow back on.

And as we go on we see that he stops coming, but we don't know why. In the sort of 'standard' story of Peter Pan, he does return year after year, but eventually Wendy grows up, and she can no longer go with him. What's a very lovely piece of storytelling is how the song's lyrics touch on replaying of memory, and we see that towards the end, Pornappan is remembering their times together as she worries why Jeff hasn't returned.

Then, it was is a bit of a twist, both on the lyrical content of the song, but also on the 'fairy-tale standard' Pornappan goes to look for him, venturing out and finding Jeff asleep amongst flowers and vines.

The final scene, or piece is Jeff beginning to open his eyes, and Pornappan opening her own, showing that it was all a dream, or at least that last bit was, which is just so bittersweet.

But what ended up being so interesting is that because I thought I remembered the similar scene in Hook with Peter and Moira, I rewatched the whole movie (it's available on Netflix, in the US at least) and our final scene with Tinkerbell when Peter returns from Never Land is this:

Which is very much the emotion and feeling being portrayed by both the song and the video. Now, I wouldn't put it past Jeff to have seen Hook, though it came out a few years before he was born. It is considered a classic for many reasons, and generally in the 1990's western media would take a couple of years to find it's way to the rest of the world, barring outrageously groundbreaking movies, which Hook is not. And since Jeff is bilingual, the chances of him encounter a foreign film like Hook are of course far more likely. So, I find the ideas presented in the MV, and they way they so closely mirror many of the moments of Hook specifically fascinating.

Switching gears for just a moment, I already analyzed the English lyrics of the song, as in the lyrics of the English version (you can read that and an analysis of all his English songs here), but as I was writing this and rewatching the video I notices that the translated lyrics are VERY different. Not so much in content, but more in perspective. Jeff is the speaker in both cases, but in the English lyrics he has been left behind, while in the translated lyrics he is the one who left. This matches up with the MV, where Jeff is a Peter Pan/Fae Prince who has been coming to visit Pornappan, but eventually leaves and doesn't return.

This is a screenshot of both sets of lyrics side by side:

In the translated lyrics Jeff is talking about knowing their time is brief, it only exists in the moonlight, and he states being afraid that she will forget him in time, that his memory will fade. And he's begging her to keep those dreams close to her heart, so that they won't fade.

But looking at both sets of lyrics it could almost be two sides of the same story. The English lyrics could almost be Pornappan's perspective of what is happening throughout the story of the MV.

Now there's a multitude of reason for the changes between each set of lyrics, the obvious one being that the pretty vast differences between Thai and English necessitate some pretty drastic changes to allow the lyrics to keep with the melody of the song. Totally makes sense. I would very much have to take a look at the difference in his other songs to see what those might reveal, and I honestly might, just because the very concept of bilingual songwriting is fascinating.

But I hope you enjoyed this little deep dive, it got far deeper than I anticipated. About 1100 words...that's 2.5k words on Jeffrey just today. I hope you enjoyed and you may enjoy this gif of some Jeffrey cake. (We don't get a lot of it, he honestly struggle a bit in the cake dept., but we adore him anyway.)
