#she started wirh season 6

[sabotourist]

You know I realize that Lopez as a character concept was very much so conceived in poor taste, but also, "voice of reason that goes ignored solely because nobody can understand a word he says" is probably the funniest concept I've ever heard of for a character. Like yep this robot is the most sensible person in the show by a wide margin too bad nobody knows what the fuck he's saying.

Guys guys I had the same dream about the first episode of season 6 three times and its starting to freak me out

When I woke up I swaer I remembered reading about this episode in the show bible or from leaked story borads or whatever but tgen I realized its not real!

Ok ok, so the episode begins and everything is pretty normal, Ladybug and team miraculous are helping to stop villains in Paris (who I assume arent conected to Hawkmoth cuz he dosent show up). Then almost every person in the world gets superpowers! Not a miraculous, but like X-gene mutant superpoqers!!! The only people who DON'T get them are team miraculous for some reason (and chloe).

So mid way through the episode, things are hard for team miraculous because civilians have started to fight villains themselves and they don't really need Ladybug/Chat Noir anymore.

Team miraculous have an argument in their headquarters(?) And then Ladybug is all like "Fine! If you guys don't need me anymore, then I quite! I will reveal mine, and Chat Noir so he dosen't feel left out, identities to Paris and choose a new ladybug and cat holders". Then after she says that, like half of team miraculous quite their job and theres only like seven holders left!!!

Ok ok ok so this is what really weirded me out and made me think this episode was wrong. At the end of the episode, we see the line-up of the new miraculous holders and like all of them are using two miraculous! We got:

Scarabella/Alya with the ladybug and fox miraculous. The outfit was kind of predictable and busy, but it was better than most of the stuff further down

Kitty Noir/Zoe with the Cat and Snake miraculous. It was like the same as Snake Noir but Zoe still had her hair out.

Nino with the turtle + some orange miraculous (I keep remembering it as the fox but that means there are two fox weilders at the same time). For some reason, his hero outfit was this complete redesign that made him look like a DnD/WoW Paladin with like silver armor that was constantly bathed in green lights that made it kind of hard to tell what color his outfit was. AND FOR SOME REASON Nino had this big, ball shaped, shoulder paludrons/shoulder armor that was like bigger than his head and every time I looked at him I kept staring at those things because they were the only part of his hero suit that juted out from his outfit like that. Like everything else was skin tight armor(?), excpet those two metal balls on his shoulders!!!!

Max is here with the horse and some other red miraculous and he also got a completely new outfit: he has long silver pants + shoes and a red leather jacket. He kind of looked like Party Crasher but wirh different colors, honestly. Also he had a rapier (rip Kagami, she wasn't on the new team) .Also he flat ironed his hair and slicked it back for some reason (he barely looked like himself).

MANON/TJE NEWS REPORTERS DAUGHTER GIRL WAS ON THE TEAM!!! She was wearing some ugly Ladybug and Chat Noir themed princess outfit like she wears as puppeteer despite not having those miraculous wtf

Bare with me... Markov was on the team. And when he transformed he became a person sized mech suit. Uh gvh gh hfyffggyyyt

I don't remember who the seventh team member was caused the kind of faded with the background and looked a lot like Markov but I think it might have been Ivan.

Amd thats how the first episode of season 6 ended. Me just staring at these weird designs before waking up. And thats when I realized I seen those same exact ugly outfits like three times!!!

I think the only difference I had in this dream was that in one dream Chloe was their and Ladybug made her the new guardian because she proved herself in the episode (she didn't get the bee miraculous or any other miraculous, back however) and in a different dream Chloe was forced to leave Paris forever... and that dream happened before I saw Revolution!!!!!! Not before I saw the leaks, but still!!!!!!!

I'm internally screaming. I think the episode was supposed to be another fake out but the idea of MANON randomly becoming a hero and running around in her ugly little tutu scares me.

Some of the non rumbelle “highlights”:

Leah Fong: I think no matter how dark something is that I write, it needs to have some sense of HOPE at its core. That has really stuck with me. 

What is your personal ranking of the seasons of the series?  BrigitteHales: This hurts me. Hahahaha I'll say my favorites in no particular order -- season 1, 3, and 5. I loved the Dark Swan story.  It was so much to construct.  Doing flips on established characters like that is always so much fun. 

What was your favorite episode to write and which storyline did you both find the most interesting?  Brigitte Hales: My favorite episode to write was Page 23.  I may be in the minorty here among fans but I loved the Dark Swan.  I also loved building it to reveal Hook.  That took some careful planning.  Still proud of that.

Any fun ideas you scrapped from the episodes you wrote?  Dana Hogan: At one point in Broken Heart (S5), Dark Hook was going to surround Emma with dream catchers all re-playing the horrible things she did when she was Dark Swan. It was such a cool beat to write - a horror movie beat with deep character emotional resonance - but alas, production realities are a real thing and sometimes you have to kill your darlings.

why did Killian just leave? Why didn't he try to fix things with Emma right then and there? ☹  Brigitte Hales: Killian is a complex man, who carried around a lot of pain and shame.  I really think that there were somethings he believed you couldn't come back from.  For me, the heart of that scene is what he says about sitting around the dinner table with everyone knowing what he's done.  It was just too much for him. 

What was your favorite captain swan moment to write?  Brigitte Hales: This is terrible but I loved the break-up scene.  I spent so long on it. SO LONG.  Also, of course, pancakes. That one was almost a first draft.  I just understood what it should be from the get-go.

I love the break up scene too! There is so much to unpack there and it was beautifully written. I liked seeing how for the first time probably Emma didn't run, but she just went upstairs to take some time till Killian was ready to talk. I saw that as a big character development. And I loved Emma talkint about the trust they share wirh each other, it was a depiction of a healthy couple fight. And pancakes scene of course is my religion hehe :) Brigitte Hales: Yes, I really wanted Emma to be in the right there.  Actually, an early draft of it didn't quite have her reacting strongly enough.  Someone corrected me on that (maybe David Goodman) and they were 100% right. Emma's love for Hook wasn't needy.  In this moment, she needed to be the grown-up in the room.

[To all], were there any rejected arcs/ideas you would've liked to explore? Thanks  Brigitte Hales: YES! And sadly, I cannot mention them. Adam always reminds me that what's on screen is what was meant to be, and he's right. GRUMBLE. 

So after the Captain Swan breakup, Emma seemed to quickly believe that Killian would just abandon her, which was almost against what her growth as a character was about. I know sometimes certain things have to play out for the plot to move forward, but how do you guys choose how the characters react to certain events? Obviously every character has set backs and a bit of regression, but how do you decide when, how and why it should happen?  Brigitte Hales: I don't know what else she would have thought.  She knew this was a huge obstacle for him.  I know fans had a hard time with it but it made sense that if anything was going to send him running, that might be it.

Also, sometimes you just get a feeling about things.  You want to keep characters' journeys interesting. If someone has been on one path for too long their story starts feeling stale.  It's something you just kind of know. Fans can feel it, too.

I loved Snow and Emma's relationship.  Did the writing team consider doing an episode featuring them in Season 6?   Was there a reason why Snow and Emma didn't have any longer solo scenes after "Lost Girl" in Season 3?  Thanks!  Brigitte Hales: Is that true?!  Huh.  No, there was no reason.  I'm just trying to scan my memory for all the scenes I wrote with them but you're right... I think we really liked the family dynamic.  But I don't have a good answer for that one. 

How did the experience of working on such a unique show affect your personal writing style, if at all? (For both)  Brigitte Hales: I love this question!  So MUCH.  I'm able to access villains in a way I never was before.  And I think it taught me the beauty of high concept storytelling.  Also, I bet I'm a more positive writer now.  I like to bring joy into people's lives.  Once made me realize that might be my gift. 

It would have been great to see a conversation about their breakup between the two, I'm curious if you had anything planned for an eventual conversation between Emma and Killian that I think they obviously had.😁  Brigitte Hales: Oh yeah, but sometimes that stuff gets cut for time.  We had so many characters to service. 

How much does a season/plot change during production? Did you ever significantly change the destination of the plot while writing it?  Brigitte Hales: Sometimes but it was rare.  In a serialized show you have to construct things carefully because the episodes ahead of yours are built on your decisions. 

Did you ever consider showing a couple domestic scenes of Killian and Hope (knowing Jen couldn't be there) during s7? I missed them so much, I'd give anything to have more interaction of captain swan with their daughter.  Brigitte Hales: I think the general consensus is that domestic scenes are more fun to imagine than actually show on air.  Emma and Hook shopping in Pottery Barn... not much drama there. 

In some scene in S7, Wish Hook and Tiana kind of flirted in a way. Were they supposed to be a couple at some point?  Brigitte Hales: How I wish I could answer this. SO MUCH. 

Did you like the Land of Untold Stories arc? Were there plans for it to last longer? I really liked it but I thought it was too short  Brigitte Hales: I know! I'm not sure why we didn't spend more time there. 

In 7x22 we saw little Neal was around 6-7 years old. In the season 6 finale he is supposed to be a toddler. Does that mean despite the wish realm and seattle curse time hops the real time that passed from 6x22 to 7x22 for our Storybrooke characters is 4-5 years? Timeline gets confusing sometimes.  Leah Fong: Wow. Well, there was a time when I knew the answers to this. But what I can say is even though Season 6 AIRED in 2016-17, Storybrooke was behind that. A few years pass between Season 6 finale and Season 7 premiere. Then more time passes in Storybrooke during the run of Season 7. Hope this helps! Haha.

What do you have to think about when writing characters and adding to the show's story and mythos?  Brigitte Hales: You just want the characters to feel right.  Imagine writing dialogue for your friends.  Everyone has their own unique way of expressing themselves.  You're constantly trying to modulate so you don't damage a character.

About Me!

this is… a tag thingy that im actually gonna do cuz i have…. friends to tag now…. thank u @carbonfiberpersonality for tagging me!!

Age: 20

Birthplace: Boston, Massachusetts!

Current time: 6:33 p.m.

Drink you last had: Coca-Cola to wash down a tylenol! It was flat and gross.

Easiest person to talk to: my best friend and the love of my life @twibles we’ve been friends for years and shes probs the only one i can talk to without like ever getting anxiety lol

Favorite song: Noooo don’t make me choose I can’t do this. Alex by the Punch Brothers? Always by Panic! At the Disco? Everything? Every song ever? Can I pick that one please

Grossest Memory: Probably the time this summer I had to clean a girl’s puke out of the sink this summer. 🙃 For a while after that everytime I smelled vodka I thought of the incident and it was horrible.

Horror yes or horror no: Well I like horror but it has to be veeeery mild because I am actually a big fucking baby.

In love? Don’t think so. I don’t think I’ve ever been in love, but I guess it’s a little scary to admit that, too? I feel like there’s some distinction between loving someone and being in love with them. Like being in love needs another person. That person has to love you too and then you’re in love? Maybe. Not sure, but I’m not in love right now lol.

Jealous of people? 100%. Not constantly but I do get jealous of other people and like… their connections with others. I dunno it’s hard to explain?

Love at first sight? I don’t believe that you can love someone the first time you see them, unless you’ve had contact before. In order to be in love I think you have to know the person. Love is a really deep and profound connection with another person and that’s not something you can just suddenly have with someone you just met. It takes time and cultivation. Now, infatuation? 100% can happen at first sight. But love happens when you get to know the person and their flaws and their good qualities and you love the whole thing.

Middle name? Rachel!

Number of siblings: one (1) beanstalk lookin ginger.

One Wish: I always wish to be happy and I think I’m slowly working my way back.

Person I called last: My dad!

Questions you’re always asked: “What year of high school are you in?” “What are you a senior in high school?” “Have you started looking at colleges yet?” Keep in mind I’m a junior in college. Once: “So, are you graduating from middle school, too?”

Reason to smile: My friends. The cold weather and holiday season that are coming up. Cute animals. Hope. Rum. Love?

Song you last sang: Uhh probably Paradise Valley by Honey and the Sting (another fav song!!)

Time you woke up: 7:00 am. Too early given I went to bed at like 4 am.

Underwear color: White because I’m on my period and I’m an adrenaline junkie.

Vacation destination: Maine or Vermont or a cabin in the woods somewhere. God I love that shit.

X-rays: I got my teeth done and also an x-ray of my foot when i twisted it real bad and also of my stomach when I had to get that surgery.

Your favorite food: Mac n cheese!!!! Anything wirh cheese in it!!! Anything that’s really bad for me basically!

Zodiac sign: Virgo!!

my homies!!!

My thoughts on Elite s2 e1 since I didn't know it actually came out again BUT BOY will I continue it? Probably not.

1. Valerio you had me in the trailer but I was done wirh you right away

2. ALSO WHY ARE YOU AND LU LIKE THIS YOU'RE SIBLINGS FOR GOODNESS SAKE

3. Ander and Omar are already starting so negatively and the spoilers don't make it any better nooo :((

4. WHY DID THEY DISMISS CHRISTIAN AFTER LIKE 10 MINUTES OF SCREENTIME ALREADY HE DID NOT DESERVE THIS (also I am proud of him for calling out Carla like that you deserve it bih)

5. I miss him a lot already

6. Honestly the first episode felt so much and almost overwhelming it makes me feel concerned for the rest of the season

7. Like when did a consistent pace of plot go out of the window we go from fighting referring to s1 plot to fricking Valerio jusf randomly proclaiming they need to party to a club scene to even more fighting and suddenly from where Omar only went out for like 15 minutes the thing happens???

8. Seriously Valerio I TRUSTED YOU

9. Nadia baby I love you tho

10. Also I like Rebeca she seems like a cool girl (but ugh why can't we just live witu the idea you just won the lottery instead of bigger drama)
