A Basket of Freckles

someone once told Captain Hook that he looks like a Stuart so he started dressing like Charles II complete with long black ringlets

ringlets… which he combs using his hook

he also uses his hook for “other homely uses.” I have no idea what, J. M. chose not to extrapolate

Hook’s great master plan to kill the Lost Boys is to BAKE THEM A CAKE and put dodgy stuff in it so they eat it and die

Wendy is like “you ain’t eating shit you found on the floor” and makes them use the cake as a missile, which Hook later falls over in the dark 

speaking of Wendy, the Lost Boys are All About Wendy when she first arrives. Peter is like never touch Wendy. build a house around her. we are her servants. she is a lady.

John is literally like “are you fucking kidding me" 

Tinker Bell is super not here for Peter’s flight of fancy shit and yells YOU SILLY ASS at him literally about ten times

Peter is kinda dumb actually 

at one point he falls asleep on Wendy Guard Duty "and some unsteady fairies had to climb over him on their way home from an orgy”

????????????????

there are non-binary fairies! girls glow white, boys glow mauve and the blue ones are “little sillies who are not sure what they are” which is… really really cute!!!

there’s a whole section where Peter and this bird are yelling at each other but Peter doesn’t speak bird and the bird doesn’t speak human and they’re mad about it

J. M. makes sure to point out that Hook “was not wholly evil; he loved flowers”

when the pirates kidnap Wendy and the Lost Boys, Hook bows to Wendy and sweeps his hat off and gives her his arm and she’s so starry-eyed about it she forgets she’s being kidnapped

the thirst is real, Wendy

Hook is scared of Smee. all the kids love Smee cos he’s little with funny glasses and thinks he’s really fearsome but. Hook is. actually. scared of Smee

at one point Peter is helping Hook up onto a rock because a) good form and b) he wants to have a proper nemesis fight, and Hook BITES PETER and Peter is fucking beside himself about it

in fact 100% of their interaction reads like Kate Beaton’s nemesis comic 

Tiger Lily is a stone cold badass. all the men in her tribe want to lock that down and she’s like “fuck no”

when Peter rescues her from Hook and Smee, rather than carrying her bridal-style back to her camp (no thx Disney) she’s just like TIGER LILY OUT and swims home, abandoning Peter to his dumb pirate fight

Peter may be slightly unhinged actually. like one paragraph early on basically says that sometimes he’d go for walks on his own and not talk about it when he came back, then the others would go out AND FIND THE BODY

like the book pretty much insinuates that when the Lost Boys start getting too old Peter takes ‘em out back and puts ‘em down

and before the big boss fight he’s picking pirates off one by one and a Lost Boy is just calmly keeping an out-loud count of how many throats Peter’s slit

and after the boss fight he literally kicks Hook overboard to where he knows the crocodile’s waiting 

that kid is fucked up, I’m just saying

the narrator loses his shit towards the end. I’m serious. one minute he’s like “I HATE MRS. DARLING SO MUCH” and the next he’s all “I love Mrs. Darling, those kids are some selfish brats though”

Mr. Darling blames himself for the childrens’ disappearance because he locked Nana outside, so he starts… living in her kennel. a taxi picks him and the kennel up every morning and takes him to work in it. he becomes famous because he lives in the kennel 

?????????????????

Well, it’s been a hundred years, BUT @mosskatart and I promise that the wait wasn’t in vain. Conchord has been going through a massive overhaul; chapter three’s done and in @mosskatart capable hands, 

I’m finishing up the rewrite of chapters one and two, and dabbling in chapter four. Thank you so much to those who have been patiently (or impatiently) waiting, we appreciate it more than you know! Here’s a post including a sneak peek of some characters to come in chapter three!
