gotta say the transition from anne saying “i do wish i knew the girl’s name” directly to ‘POV: you are maurice being hypnotized by lasker jones’ is one of the funniest cuts in cinematic history

Ranking Marvel heroes with fire powers because I feel like it:
1. Johnny Storm - The Human Torch
homie is the baddest bitch alive. could literally destroy a planet if he wanted to. I support that.
2. Angelica Jones - Firestar
so true queen are you single? Angel is another bad bitch. she’s had a complicated life but she’s still kicking and I love that for her
3. Ghost Rider - Johnny Blaze
that chain is way too complicated but um I support him anyway. not super fire centric but he deserves respect
4. Simon Lasker - Pyro
bad photo of him because his hair defies physics but oh well. unfortunately he wasn’t around for very long but I appreciate him. his existence says gay rights
5. St. John Allerdyce - Pyro
the original Pyro! he’s lower than Simon because he can’t produce his own fire and Simon can. but he can control it and that’s pretty lit. he looks like he’s having fun in this photo good for him
Obviously there are other characters with fire powers but this is my top five because I’m uneducated about everyone else. Hope they’re having a good time though.

Ranking the "Iceman + Fire Person" ships
=8. Allerdrake - X-Men: The Animated Series & Wolverine and the X-men
Bobby Drake and St. Johns Allerdyces
Tied for last place. While both shows have versions of these characters, they don't interact and it's difficult to imagine them doing so.
(They're both totally mlm in TAS, just not for each other)
7. Iceman and Firestar
Bobby Drake and Angelica Jones
I felt obliged to include this because it was a popular interpretation of their "amazing friends" dynamic. Obviously Bobby is gay, so as a romantic ship I don't see it. Pretty good banter though, and a fun dynamic as friends.
6. Allerdrake - X-Men: Evolution
Bobby Drake and St. John Allerdyce
Yes, I'm ranking this separately. At least these versions interact in this show!
There's an age gap - probably at least five years. I prefer to imagine the Acolytes in this show as being early 20s AT MOST because it makes Gambit less of a creep. Bobby's in his mid teens. BUT give em a few years. I could see a fun reunion between obnoxious, cheeky Bobby and deranged chaos demon Pyro.
Not that I devoted a lot of my tweens to elaborately imagining post canon x-men evo. That would be super embarrassing, right?
5. Iceman and Firefist
Bobby Drake and Rusty Collins
This seems like an obvious ship. I've looked and there's some content out there. It makes sense and I'm glad to see that some people care about Rusty even if I don't.
4. Iceman and Pyro (Lasker variant)
An actual canon romantic pairing!
Bobby Drake and Simon Lasker
Simon Lasker has functionally disappeared from comics canon at this point in what is a clear admission that he was only a placeholder for OG Pyro in the first place. He's more of a misunderstood good guy than out-and-proud terrorist St. John, so I guess the ship is more wholesome.
But idk I'm a little put off by how much Bobby seems to regret the whole thing.
3. Allerdrake - Movies edition
Speaking of misunderstood angsty Pyro:
Bobby Drake and John Allerdyce
Now this is a quintessential gay slash pairing. They're angsty. They're best friends. He's a troubled kid. There's a female rival (Rogue) to John's affections - she gets unnecessarily assassinated in fics. It's shipping in its purest form tbh.
Honestly, I feel like I'm a bit too old now for this classic teenage pairing, but I wholeheartedly support it.
2. Iceman and the Human Torch
Bobby Drake and Johnny Storm
Oddly, despite me not shipping this I'm ranking it above my nostalgic movie ship. They've got a good "rivals to friends" thing going on. I get it.
1. Allerdrake - 616
Bobby Drake and St. John Allerdyce
They're both clowns. It's just 100% the perfect dumb energy for me. Canon has robbed us.

Notes I took while my friend watched "Maurice" (1987) for the first time.
(Prepare for almost zero name usage from her)
(Referring to young Maurice) “His legs say 11 but the rest says 7”
“Blond hair boy just wants to eat his food” (“That’s Maurice,” I inform her)
“riSLeY” (In a British accent; Mocking)
“Wow, look at brown hair boy” (“That’s Clive”) “Brown hair boy!”
(About Clive and Maurice playing the piano) “Why are they so..... bouncy?”
(About Risley in the boat scene) “I like him. He has style,” (Me: Nervously sweats)
“Oh. Oh- OH!” (Her realizing that Clive and Maurice are fruity) ... “No one cares about TEA right now!!”
(About a Maurice climbing through the window) “That’s so much effort”
“ ‘You can’t kiss me🙄’ Meanwhile his hand is down your shirt.” (Queue me trying to explain the mind over physicality stuff)
“How is he supposed to see brown hair boy—“ (“Clive”) “—if he doesn’t go to school?”
“The maid doesn’t get paid enough for this.”
“I love brown hair boy’s hair.” (“You can’t keep calling him ‘brown hair boy’..... it will get confusing later”) “Brown hair boy 😏.”
(About Simcox) “Weird bike pervert.”
(Alec appears for the first time) “Other brown hair boy?” (I nod) “POOR brown hair boy!” (“NO!”)
(Me, about Maurice: “He’s like a puppy!) “Not with that mustache” (“It *is* ‘revolting’”)
(Clive undoing Maurice’s bowtie) “Imagine not having a clip on bow tie.”
(About Risley) “He’s a Viscount, he’ll be fine!” [(Thinking of the deleted scenes) “Well—“]
“So this whole thing with Risley is going to plant seeds in Clive, right?” (So! Smart! I love her.)
“aLmOst ReLatIoNs”
(About Clive saying Ada sounds like Maurice) “Oh please. 🙄”
(Maurice and Clive discuss women/Ada) “This is so awkward *proceeds to leave to take a break*”
“*tries to not laugh at Maurice crying* I know that this is serious but the way Maurice cries is funny-“
(Maurice boxing) “So he’s an ATHLETIC boy!”
(“You’re going to love Anne. My sweet angel- Anne, Anne, Anne, Anne”) “Your hetero side is showing.” (She loved Anne)
(At Doctor Barry’s) “Why is he just casually checking out Maurice’s... *issues* in his own home? Privacy who?”
“✨💖The Oscar Wilde sort💖✨”
(The wedding) "I hate Clive’s outfit."
(“Here comes Alec”) “Who?” (“*sighs* the other brown hair boy.”)
(After the hunt with Mr. London) “Clive is rich and Anne dresses like she’s a maid.” (“Are we watching the same film?”)
“Jealousy looks bad on Clive”
“A GIRL in London!”
“They can’t just close the piano?” (“The piAnOfOrtE”) “A saucer.....” (She focuses on the saucer thing for a while)
(“Alec🥰”) “You have issues.”
(Clive kissing Maurice’s hand) “Thanks, I hate it.”
*gets frustrated that Maurice is being classist*
(Hypnotism with Lasker-Jones; About Maurice) “He looks like a corpse. The fade out doesn’t help. (I show her this post by @evening-primroses)
“What if we... Kissed by the ladder..? 🤭😏😗😶”
(Alec comes through the window) “It looks like he’s about to stab Maurice”
“Don’t get caught, don’t get caught, don’t get caught- NOOO- Wait, he isn’t there?”
(Maurice hides his pants.) “Smooth. Real smooth.”
(About the hat that Helena Bonham Carter’s character wears.) “That’s the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen.” (Pause, we watching the cricket match, Clive enters) “I take back what I said about the hat.”
“BURN THE LETTER!!!! BURN IT!!!!” (“...Why?”) “Drama!”
(About Alec visiting Maurice: “Look how good he looks!”) *looks at me weird*
“Poor brown hair boy doesn’t know how to flirt.” (*poses like the butterfly/pigeon meme* “Is this, flirting?”)
“FUCK YER NAME!” (“You never call him by his name.”) “Fuck his name.”
“He got dressed FAST.” (“Us gays are naturally fast.”)
(About Alec) “He went from horny to ‘bye bitch’ real quick.”
(About Alec not being on the ship) “Did he DIE?!” (About a minute later) “BOATHOUSE”
(Maurice visits Clive) “This feels like a scene from Romeo and Juliet.”
“Poor Clive. He deserved better than being stuck in his position politically and marriage wise- And he’s not even married to someone we can hate! Anne is so good to him.” (She’s far kinder to Clive than I will ever be).
“Brown Hair Boy” Count: 15
“Poor Brown Hair Boy” Count: 3
“I want to see the dogs again.” Count: 4
Her score: 7/10

Took a day trip up to Philadelphia yesterday to see Maurice at the Ritz on the Bourse theater. It was such an amazing experience! I must say, even though I’ve watched this film over half a dozen times, there’s just something fulfilling about seeing it on the big screen. I saw SO many more details this time than I’d ever before - in the dialogue, the acting, and music/sounds in the background. Let me tell you, watching the Russet Room scene on the big screen was a spiritual experience! It was wonderful. <3
Personal notes:
- While in line for my ticket, I smirked every time a person in front of me mispronounced the name “Maurice”.
- I was pleasantly surprised about how many people were there to see Maurice. Over half of the theater was full.
- I think I was the youngest one there. Most of the viewers appeared to be middle-aged to older men and women - quite a few older male pairs. I sat in front of two lovely gentlemen (I would guess in their 70s) who chatted with me a few minutes beforehand about the differences between the novel and the film.
- When the first scene with Lasker Jones came on, at least three different people whispered loudly, “It’s Ben Kingsley.” LOL!
- At the end of the Russet Room scene, when the camera cuts to Simcox walking up the stairs, almost the whole theater let out this loud gasp and there were a couple of “oh no!”s. Hehe!

Jesus Christ, 90% of the cast gets pissed off whenever Maurice shows literally any emotion whatsoever, no wonder he fled to live in the fucking woods
