HELLO!!!!

Long time no post! I don’t even know if anyone is still following me but I need some help from the Once Upon a Time fandom.

Does anyone have a photo you could send me of the t-shirt or sweatshirt you ordered ages ago with the logo for the beer Colin and Sean made. The by Hook or by Crook. Long story…my dog ate mine ages ago and I’m looking to see if there’s a way I can replace it. But I can’t seem to find any photos of the logo that was printed.

Can someone help a girl out?

Here’s some fun facts about one of my favorite stories being told in Hamilton: this is Ariana Debose, who plays a special role within the ensemble known as The Bullet. She’s killed for suspected espionage right after You’ll Be Back, and is the first one to die (not counting Hamilton’s mother or cousin who hangs himself). After this moment, she becomes an omen of death. At the beginning of Stay Alive, she carries a shot that narrowly avoids hitting Hamilton. In Yorktown, she helps Laurens kill a redcoat, shakes his hand, then Laurens is the next to die. In I Know Him, she’s the one bringing the message to King George about John Adams and symbolically heralding the impending doom of Hamilton’s political career. During Blow Us All Away, she’s the one who tells Phillip where to find George Eacker, (and flirts with him! Phillip is literally flirting with death!) then Phillip is the next to die. In Your Obedient Servent, she brings the desk on stage and hands Burr the quill to write the first of several letters that will eventually lead to Alexander Hamilton’s death. During the final duel, she again catches a bullet (fired by Burr), and if you watch her, she gets closer and closer to hitting Hamilton while he’s doing his soliloquy until Eliza pops onto stage. At this point, The Bullet is stopped by other members of the ensemble, the time freeze is abandoned, and we all know what happens‬ next. (soure: JC Payne)

Wishbone was a PBS series about a terrier that assumed the role of literary characters like Frankenstein and Odysseus and dressed up.

I’ve found it’s very hard to explain this one to people who weren’t there.

Looking for Han and Leia Fic

I don’t know if any of my followers are Star Wars fans, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

Ever since I saw a tweet about wanting a novel telling the story of how Han and Leia fell in love on the way to Bespin I’ve been craving some fic. AO3 was my starting place for my search but it seems like even filtering a search there wasn’t exactly what I was hoping for.

So I’m hoping Tumblr world can help me! Send me all your Han and Leia fic recs. They can be rated anything, I don’t care. Just throw me what you got.

Thanks in advance.

Can we talk about this for a second?

Colin O’Donoghue, top notch actor, y’all.

Ummm...This isn’t really the kind of message I was expecting to get on my fanfic. But...okay.

Needless to say I will not be clicking anything or Googling whatever the hell that word is supposed to be.

Wtf?!?

So...gonna be riding out a Hurricane the next day, if not two. How bad it will be is yet to be determined, but I’m in the Orlando area so I’m farther inland and should experience less of an impact. I do have family on the coast but they are also inland and not directly on the water.

But anyway, riding this one out alone with the dog, and just hoping my power doesn’t go out. If anyone wants to help keep me entertained feel free to drop me a message, an ask, a new CS fic...you know...whatever.

Just wanted to share this wonderful illustration by Marta Wit via Twitter (link to original artwork). I don’t know why I’m getting so emotional… :D

Although no Stephen Sondheim first nights in eternity, I’m afraid.

I don’t know how many of my followers have read the Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah Maas. If you haven’t read it you should. But if you have and you also love Captain Swan, you NEED to read this!!! It is everything and I cannot wait to see where this goes!

Please!!! Give it a read! You won’t regret it.

Killian Jones woke in the dark.

It was late. He could tell it was late by the weariness of his human body. It wasn’t quite moondark though- those still, quiet hours when the moon is set and the sun hasn’t quite risen. He knew because his bed was empty beside him, but his lady, his companion of the last hundred years and more, was standing at the porthole in this cabin, white gown lit nearly as bright as noonday by the setting moon.

“I wondered if I should wake you,” she said quietly, knowing he was awake in that secret way of hers, though he’d moved nothing but his eyelids. “Or if I should just go and return as soon as I could.”

“Go?” he asked, sitting up. From this new vantage he could see that the gown she was wearing was not her nightrail, but a wide-skirted silk affair, which rustled as she moved and was detailed in shimmering black like a swan. When she turned to look at him, a tiara of black diamonds glittered from her brow. “To Court,” he said, understanding.

His ship was a pirate vessel and bowed to no king or queen among men. The only court that his lady would visit dressed so was a court in the uncanny halls of the Fey.

Colin is filming in my state, in Cape Canaveral, which is like 30 minutes from where I grew up. My dad and grandma still live there. I’m in Orlando, about 40 minutes away.

My grandfather worked for Boeing during all the early space missions and through some of the shuttle program. He helped build the battery that powered the lunar vehicle the astronauts drove on the moon! And they are still on the moon, so it’s kind of like a little piece of my grandpa is on the moon!

To say space and NASA was a large part of my childhood is an understatement. So I’m super excited for Colin, and about this series. I only wish I could sneak over and try to see some filming.

I just hope they are filming a lot indoors cause it’s hot and humid as hell right now! And that poor Irish cinnamon roll better lather up the sunscreen if he hits the beach cause the Florida sun is intense this time of year.

I just finished rewatching Agent Carter and I forgot just how amazing that show was. I’m so sad ABC didn’t give it a third season, because I’d forgotten that Season 2 ends on a cliff hanger. So we’ll never know who shot Chief Thompson or what happened with Peggy and Daniel.

Well, actually I guess we do know because of End Game. (Which I still haven’t seen because I haven’t seen any of The Avengers yet, but I know what happens...kinda. And yes, I know I’m behind!) But still...

I miss Peggy. I miss all the relationships between characters and I really miss the 1940s fashion.

I’m selling all the OUAT art prints I have left, and the proceeds are going to RAICES, an organisation that helps separated and detained migrant families in the US. I’ve put all the prints together in one place, so just pick whichever one(s) you want from the dropdown menu. Get yourself something nice, help out some people who are being put through hell and really really need help!

ART SALE LINK!

If you’d like to know more about RAICES and their work, check out their website. To find out more about helping migrants in the US, here’s a Tumblr post with information and links.

I’ll post updates about the total we raise, and I’ll also post the receipt when I send the money on to RAICES, to keep things as transparent as I can.

Please reblog and signal boost! Even if you can’t afford to buy or donate anything yourself, spreading the word will help a lot as well!
