OUAT S.5 SPOILERS 🔥🔥

[bookpersonmaryjon]

Tell us about your current project(s) – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?

4. Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)

6. What character do you have the most fun writing?

8. Is what you like to write the same as what you like to read?

13. Do you share your writing online? (Drop a link!) Do you have projects you’ve kept just for yourself?

25. What part of writing is the most fun?

1.ooof okay so I have A Lot of current projects, but the one that I've been working on the most over the last week is probably the tma chatfic (working title, I'll have to come up with something better at some point).

it's, well, a chatfic, which you can probably guess from the title, but more specifically: (spoiler warning for the magnus archives here!!!) basically, all the avatars have a groupchat and Annabelle Cane adds Jon at some point after he gets promoted, because they all think he's Aware of serving an eldritch fear entity and are Surprised when he is clueless as to what the hell they're all talking about

i've been writing on it for over at least... two years i think? and a few days ago edited the bits i wrote separately to fit into the bit that's more story-like, at which point i discovered that i'm at 95 pages??? somehow??? so yea there's progress, despite there being literally no plot besides Jon Finds Out About The Entities And Has A Few Breakdowns.

what i love about it: Everyone Is Queer (because i was figuring out my gender at the time and thought i was just being supportive to trans/nb people and not relating that stuff to myself) and There Is No Angst (okay that's a lie, there's a bit angst, but mostly it's really entertaining and not angsty) and I have so much fun writing the characters???

pretty sure a lot of the characters are OOC but I don't really care, it's far too funny to have the avatars bully Jon for having a crush on Martin (yes this fic is also jonmartin with jon getting over his denial Very Quickly during what constitutes as s1)

honorable mentions here to the other fics i'm working on right now: the doctor who bodyswap au we all needed after potd where they Actually Bodyswap, the doctor who fic where some evil scientist tries to use regeneration energy for their own gain (it is as angsty as it sounds, yes), the tua fanfic where klaus refuses to let luther lock up viktor in that creepy basement in s1 (with added nb klaus and trans viktor because yes!), the sandman fanfic where dream loses the ability to speak after being locked up in a glass bowl for centuries (called 'cat got your tongue' because I Am Hilarious), and the ouat fanfic that's purely self-indulgent because i have a I Could Fix Her mentality when it comes to Regina (not just because of that but it's definitely part of it...)

4. mhhhh let's see!

There’s something going wrong in her mind, something is wrong with this whole regeneration, of course it is, forced regenerations aren't ever simple, but this is more than that, because she just let the Master leave with Yaz, with her TARDIS, and that’s not what the Doctor does, that’s not-

Is that still who she is? Is she still the Doctor now?

Yaz didn’t notice. The Master didn’t say anything, didn’t even gloat, didn’t even- And she’s not acting like the Doctor should, so what-?

She curls around herself, feeling unmoored when it’s different than before, the Master’s body – hers now – new and ill-fitting like putting on a glove that’s too small, or maybe it’s too big, or possibly both, somehow.

this is from my doctor who bodyswap fic, and i really liked this bit, because thirteen is questioning her own sense of self, after gallifrey, after techteun, after getting swapped into a body that isn't hers, and i just think that's a really neat concept to explore

actually, have some more of that fic, cause there are several lines i really like:

“Wait wait wait, can’t we talk about this?” she yelps, ducking behind machinery and twisting out of the way of more shots.

“The Cyberium is destroyed. You have destroyed the Cyberium. You will be deleted.”

They’re advancing on her, and she doesn’t have her sonic on her, it’s in her coat pocket, stupid Doctor, stupid Master, means she’s defenceless, means-

Except, she reaches into her pockets out of instinct, and there’s something in there.

“I don’t-” The words get stuck in her throat because they’re so untrue, doesn’t she want to do this, and it’s different now, this is a step she’s not been prepared to take, is she really going to do this?

“Stand down. You will be deleted.”

Yeah, right.

Them or her. Them or Earth.

The decision, in the end, is far too easy.

And then the Doctor stares at the tiny Cybermen, the Master’s TCE still raised, and something in her mind is spinning wildly out of reach, something has changed and she doesn’t quite know what it is, or if it can be reversed.

thirteen making master decisions instead of doctor decisions! love to see her make Bad choices

“I see you had time to change.”

The words spark memory, and the Doctor raises a brow at him, lifts her arms in a mockery of presenting the new clothes, and replies: “I always dress for the occasion.”

Is that amusement in his eyes or is she imagining it?

She lets her arms drop, crosses them over her chest again, considers him. It’s strange to stare at her own face and have it look back, except those eyes aren't hers, those eyes have always been his, she’d know them anywhere.

what's more 'master' than changing your outfit for the Drama of it?

yeah, I don't know where this story is going, but the second i've finished it i'll upload it! ^-^

EDIT: just found the Actual scene i wanted to share but got distracted from looking for, this is from my other dw fanfic where someone wants to take regeneration energy

All his attention is on the Doctor, beautifully bathed in gold, brimming with light and life, the force of a nuclear explosion coiling inside her, infecting her surroundings, leaking into the air and causing everything in her path to self-destruct.

i adore writing thirteen as incredibly destructive force of nature ^-^

that's all, carry on!

6. good question... I have a lot of fun writing the thirteenth doctor, but honestly? it's Klaus Hargreeves from the umbrella academy. i just can't seem to stop writing Klaus, especially nonbinary he/they Klaus who figures out their powers and chills with Benny while his siblings are ignoring the both of them. (this probably says Something about me but I Do Not See)

(honorable mention to my ouat self-insert which i Cannot write anymore because i started writing her before i figured out that i am not, in fact, cis, and now i'm having trouble identifying with the person that used to be me)

8. mhhh... in terms of Queer things yes, i read and write both of those things.

i do think i Write far more angst than i Read angst.

also, this question depends entirely on whether it's meant as reading books or reading fanfiction, because obviously i read the sort of fanfictions that i also write, and i guess yeah, i do also read the books that are sort of close to the sort of fanfiction vibes i like to read / write

13. yes i do! mostly just fanfictions, nothing 'original' just yet (i am working on it though!).

the ao3 link to my published fics is here, and there's also a German self-insert ouat fanfic on a German fanfic site, but uhhh that's sort of Very Unfinished and was started when i was still in school sooo... (i am planning on rewriting it at some point, and will try to finish it as well...).

as to the rest: there are... several projects that i've kept to myself, yes. i've taken my three (?) finished harry potter fics off the internet for now because i don't feel comfortable having them up with the way jk is behaving, and i won't post any of the ones i'm still writing on (i'm mostly just writing on them because if i have an idea i need it Out).

i also have A LOT of fanfics that are simply not finished yet, and because i know that i will not be able to stick to a posting/writing schedule i'd rather finish them before posting them, they'll stay on my laptop for now.

I am also working on a superhero book, but I've had to change a few of the original ideas i had because they don't really fit with the rest of the vibe of the book anymore, so i don't know when that's gonna be finished, if at all...

25. tough question... I have a lot of fun writing something with a twist, like, I as the writer am aware of a piece of information about the story/character I am writing that the reader is Not aware of but i am layering little hints into the story, and at some point i have a Reveal of the thing. i wasn't aware that this was something i did for a bit, until someone (you, dimitri, very specifically you) pointed it out in one of my fics and i realized that i Liked doing things like that actually, so yea!

also uhh i guess i really like how i can sort of work through some of my problems by projecting them onto characters? it helps sometimes...

i also enjoy writing something, and then having an idea, and suddenly the story is going in a wildly different direction as before, and i didn't anticipate it but i actually like this new direction, so i just roll with it. it's nice that writing is... alive, in a way.

wow, i wrote far more than i expected. thank you for asking these questions @rearranging-deck-chairs I had a lot of fun answering!

“Of course her daughter is her fav character” but not her son?? Who is actualltna character that day been relevant for 7 years? Or herself? Or damn even Hook, the guy she worked alongside? The baby is a prop. Jmo is ridiculous and I can’t belibe her fanbase believes her.

The baby is a prop that she doesn’t even hold who is maybe on screen for 3 minutes if you count that it’s a massive group scene where some stand ins will be holding a doll for a lot of it.

I used to think Hope would be a good baby name on ouat, but then I watched Xena, and I’m sorry but that show has forever cursed the name Hope for babies. I will never be over that.

Hi! So, I normally LOVE time travel, but to me I think this screws everything up - as a Rumbeller, I think it could diminish Beauty - and Rumple/Rumbelle’s story. So there are two Rumples now, HH version (future) and Edge (since in 2017 Rumbelle were traveling). If he dies in HH, which most of us assumed he would (he’d reunite with Belle) then the Edge Rumple will go through the same thing as future one (which is OUR Rumple) and it will be an endless loop. If he doesn’t die in HH, then there

will still be two Rumples - and the HH one will be without Belle. As much as it crushed me to see Belle die, she did live a full and happy life. With the time travel stuff, the story won’t ever really end. I don’t want her sacrifice and Rumple’s subsequent journey to be for naught, but I feel like it will be. I hope I’m wrong - and this TT stuff affects everyone else as well. Do you think there’s a way out of this craziness that won’t hurt the overall story? Thanks ! (2/2)

Let’s establish what’s being described:

Henry leaves Storybrooke around 2019.

Somewhere from 5-10 years later, Regina joins him, and Rumple shortly thereafter.

A curse is cast, taking them back to the LWM in 2017.

Traveling back to a time when you were alive can be treated one of two ways: a carousel or a roller coaster. If you’re in a carousel plot, you’re traveling back to your own prior actions. You are reliving things you’ve already experienced. The point here is usually to change your own actions and their outcome. This is the format of Groundhog Day.

If you’re in a roller coaster plot, you have essentially hit a loop-dee-loop and you don’t arrive in a place you have previously been. You’re somewhere else, and usually a goal is to avoid your earlier self. This is the format of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

A carousel could theoretically loop around forever. A roller coaster comes to an end and everybody gets off, going back to a linear timeline.

This is pretty clearly a roller coaster. It is not an endless loop. Rumple and the others are not going to repeat this part of their lives forever. The roller coaster will come to a stop and everyone will get off. From Rumple’s perspective it will still be a single life. He’s not going to experience it over and over.

Emma was fine with Henry going down into literal hell with her to save Hook. Hook has been more important to her for ages. It's not shocking at all tbh. And I don't say that to trash her character, I say it to trash A&E who have completely destroyed what Emma used to be. This version of Emma is perfectly fine with her man and a new baby and Henry coming back "one day" (as per A&E).

As a mother, I’m appalled. I have a son who is my whole world. I cannot imagine ever leaving him with no certainty of ever seeing him again (especially when the last time I saw him he was 18 and now he’s 30). I’m a mother and also a pregnant woman. At the same time! I don’t prioritize one over the other. And being pregnant doesn’t make me bedridden and completely obsolete. They should have stuck her in a curse or something honestly. No matter what A&E say it makes it look like Emma flat doesn’t care about Henry anymore.

first kiss vs. last (onscreen) kiss

“We’re about to fight like twenty trained soldiers and I have maybe ten arrows and we’re probably all going to die so in case that happens can I at least have permission to marry your daughter first” followed immediately by “I do have permission so fuck this nobody’s dying” is the most Gryffindor thing Robin Mills has ever done.

Holy shit Jared is so convincing as a villian I can't believe they didn't do this sooner.

[scribbles-by-kate]

Well, whaddya know, it looks like they actually combed Emma’s hair this time!

[forevcraltered]

Jack and Henry have been friends for almost a decade (was one of the first friends Henry made in EF + Jack was there at Lucy’s birthday) so if these writers be tryna convince me that Jack would betray him like that....y’all got another thing coming

[justanotherwannabeclassic]

Hook would never name his child after Rumplestiltskin. What are you on?

...I was making a Harry Potter joke.

[freifraufischer]

"Everyone else is not at Roni's", completely false statement. uTremaine and Tilly are also at Roni's. I don't understand why they put Hook @ Roni's but that's beside the point, it's not evident of anything and if it is evident of something the fact Hook is near the exit sign should be alarming as it could foreshadow his exit from the show. Which we all know are the rumors of him and Rumple leaving this season, we shall see.

Oh I didn’t realize that was Roni’s?  LADY RABBIT HOOKED QUEEN IS CANON! BBBBBBOOOOOOM.

On a serious note.  No.  They’re not foreshadowing ANYTHING in the publicity stills.

If no one hears from me in the next few days, it’s because this picture has actually killed me
