Peter sounds like such a rat! But his sword does seem pretty cool to be honest.

I actually cobbled together an image of how I imagined it looking, to help me when I was writing this paragraph. I wanted something that hinted at Pan's age and possibly other-worldly origin. The writing on the sword even has a translation, but that's major spoilers. 😉

Ooohhh it looks so cool! Did you draw that yourself? You're so talented! I love the feathers!

It's actually more of a photo mash. I looked for blade shapes I liked, hilts, the bear pommel, feathers, etc. And then I put the pieces together in photoshop and coloured it to look how I wanted. I can kind of paint digitally, but I wanted a bit more detail that photos (or pieces of) could provide.

Peter Pan has never exactly been known for being a deep thinker.

Well, they did just feed Wendy/Gwen's fiance to her, ensuring she is one. Eh, you could be right. 😆

sayaashrah.bsky.social•4 days ago

Suuure, but that doesn't need to be her new NAME! xD I mean, Black/White Window rocks it, so maybe she *could* use it as some form of alias to hide her true name x)

alexfromawen.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh, SHE hates the name and refuses to acknowledge it. It's entirely Pan's way of thinking. Wendy was the only one who got old enough to even be near to marriage, and they changed her just in time. They probably heard the word once or twice in their travels. Or it could be a deeper dig, implying she

will be empty of love forever, as it's implied Pan might be old enough that they know the Indo-European root words, like Sanskrit's 'vidh'. 😈
