#yay new ouat content

[fictionalnation]

Genuine question, has anyone watched Wolf Pack, plans to watch it? I was so eager when I first saw it come out. But the show itself felt incredibly dark and the character feel a bit bleh to be fair, but I often like giving actors at least a season to fit into the role especially new actors. But the graphic-ness was idk uncalled for. I am kinda getting annoyed at how awfully graphic fantasy shows have become I do truly miss being able to just somewhat enjoy a show without it being so vivid and just a lil yknow sad. Fantasy shows dont really have a history of being particularly positive, which bugs me, but once in a while you come across something nice. OUAT for example. Teen Wolf, albeit a bit graphic was still far better than most shows on tv. Till deep S3 even The Originals was quite bareable in its graphic-ness. Idk why we are expected to watch such gross scenes tbh. I would rather just not. Then again I am also of the belief that nudity (while like cool yay body positivity) is often unnecessary. Gah idk. Anyway after watching the Teen Wolf movie and being fucked left and right because of it. I am not sure if I trust Jeff Davis to create quality content anymore lol. So yea, thoughts?

Wait ...Jen really said she carried an ensemble show with 7+ main cast members for 6 years? Um--Yikes. I have my faves but even I wouldn't say any singular cast member carried the entire show. OUAT was such a huge labour of love. (That said, I think we all know which members were the biggest contributors to its success. -cough-It wasn't Jen-cough-) Speaking of faves, I just realized Colin and Lana both have new content out on the same day. My fangirl heart is happy. The drought has ended. Bless!

As I said in response to the Ask I just answered before this one... that wasn’t a direct quote. No one seems to know exactly what was said, but everyone who was there DID agree that she used the word “carry” in reference to her work on the show, and it was in response to a question about her leaving the show and/or what she would be doing next, and it basically sounded like she said (paraphrasing here!) that after carrying a show for so long, she just wanted to be free to do other things and not be attached to anything for awhile.

And then the fandom turned into WW3 over this, with people insisting that she only meant “carry” as in “be the lead character in” and other people saying “I don’t give a fuck what she meant, you just don’t use that word unless it’s a dig at the folks you worked with.” Then about a week later, Colin was teasing at a con about how terrible the S7 cast was and how he hated working with them, in which he literally said he had to “carry” the show. Now whether he knew what had been said or it was just the most coincidental coincidence to ever coincidentally happen... Either way, point proven. It’s a dig.

But yeah. Agreed. Even as much as I love Colin, I wouldn’t say he ever carried the show. No one did. It was truly an ensemble effort. And yay! I knew Lana had something new coming out, but wasn’t sure on the exact date. What fun to have two things to look forward to on one day! :D

1, 7 and 10 for the fic readers asks!

YAY!!!

1-When did you start reading fic? (how old you were or how long ago)

I started reading TWILIGHT FANFIC when I was in like... I guess late high school/early college? I forget how old I was when I got into Twilight. I was late in the game, closer to when the movies came out than the books (I did read them before the films came out though, if that helps with timing??). I started reading it more regularly about 2-3 years ago when I fell in love with CS to the point that OUAT wasn’t enough content for me lmao

7-What’s your favourite fic genre to read?

FLUFF. I mean, some angst is fine, but I need lots of “I love you”s and stuff to really make me satisfied lmao. I just want happiness for everyone, is that SO WRONG!?  I really like modern AUs because there’s so much you can do with them, but canon divergence fics are also amazing because OUAT really screwed the pooch on some stuff, and that’s what fic writers are for, yanno?

10- How do you find new fic?

It depends. Mostly on my dash, and then I’ll either like the post or use the AO3 link to save it for later. And then events, obviously, although I’m so effing behind on all sorts of fic reading that I really should STOP FINDING NEW FICS but here we are.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ASKING THIS ILY

OUAT 2X09 - Queen of Hearts

Ooh! After how great that last episode was, I’ve got my HEART set on this review!

And you can experience what I’ve got to say right under the cut!

Press Release Cora and Hook face off with Mary Margaret and Emma in a race to secure the compass, which will point its holder to the portal into Storybrooke. But back on the other side, Regina and Mr. Gold, desperate to keep Cora out, put a plan into action that would kill anyone entering the portal - placing Mary Margaret’s and Emma’s lives in danger as well. Meanwhile, back in the fairytale land that was, Captain Hook travels to Wonderland and meets up with a vengeful Queen of Hearts. General Thoughts - Characters/Stories/Themes and Their Effectiveness Past I don’t really feel like there’s a lot to say about this segment. Apart from re-establishing personality traits of both Killian and Cora, this segment serves only the purpose of giving exposition for why Killian and Cora weren’t cursed and how they started working together. While it’s really well done exposition and it’s great to see Killian and Cora bounce off one another, exposition doesn’t leave a lot to discuss and what I do have to say is in other segments. Storybrooke The segment provides the ultimate test of Regina’s character thus far in the series: Rumple offers Regina a path of temptation and she has to choose whether or not to take it. This was fantastically done because not only has it been well built, but the conflict itself resonates with Regina’s character so well. Her biggest fears and dreams are pit against her, escalating the impact of the choice and making part of the fallout (Where she loses having Henry to herself) come off as effectively tragic and giving the resolution all the more bittersweet. Enchanted Forest I actually forgot that Emma had a story of her own in this episode as she deals with what being the Savior actually means. And I loved the direction they took with it. Emma’s intimidated by the prospect, as Emma would be, but she also is willing to accept the responsibility and that fear is channeled into the question of how much control she has over her destiny and what is to come of it now that her initial purpose (As far as she knows) is fulfilled. That’s a really good question to ask, and what makes this conflict so good is how Emma continues to give it her all, and it’s a combination of her history as the savior as well as her sacrifice for Snow that makes her heart unrippable and proving herself to be something unique: Magic. And her conversation with Rumple sums all of this up in a way that enforces Emma’s value and gives hints as to where her character will go next like a neat bow on top of a package. All Encompassing “Love is weakness.” There’s a contrast here between Emma and Cora. When the line was stated to Cora, it was from Regina who (As far as she knew) sacrificed her mother’s life for herself (For as justified as it was). As it’s being said to Emma, Emma sacrificed herself for her mother, and that selflessness between the later mother/daughter duo, partnered with her lineage, is what allows Emma to reject the notion for “love is strength.” Insights - Stream of Consciousness -Given his backstory, how much you want to bet that that “slave” comment from Faceless Guard 1 took Killian from competent fighter to competent fighter with a vengeance? XD -I just noticed, but Belle has a roomy as fuck cell. I mean look at that thing! My bedroom is smaller than this! Put a desk and a mini fridge in here, give me some WiFi, and make my bed not suck and I’d live here. -”A friend.” Not yet, Killian, but give it a few more seasons. -Killian can be the freakin’ best liar. Look a how well he delivers that fib to Belle! Like, if I wasn’t aware of what he was doing, I’d believe him. -”Do I look like I’m playing a game of chess?” Once again, not yet, Killian, but give it a few more seasons. -”Until.” I like how Rumple’s subtly comments on the change in Regina’s outlook on life, a subtle show of her redemption. -Emma’s reaction to Snow’s news about being told beforehand that she was going to be the Savior was so sad! Look at how shake up she is and just compare that to how she was when August told her as much in “The Stranger.” She now realizes that like it or not, this is her life and she needs to be the beacon for everyone. As someone who recently felt that pressure for all of two days, I can’t imagine how it must feel like to have to live with that mindset. -I know I’m supposed to be freaking out about Emma’s name being written so many times, but all I can think is “damn, Rumple has pretty penmanship.” -The Regal Believer development is just beautiful here. It blossomed so well from the last episode and now Henry’s showing more overt pride in Regina’s progress. It makes the fact that Regina’s lying to him so sad. -”No one mourn her [The dead fairy].” Rumple, dude, why would you say that? She was a nice fairy! Get your fairy vendetta out of your ass! -I feel like Regina has waaaaaay too much faith in Killian. Like, there are WAY too many holes in this plan, ranging fro Cora’s sheer power to the fact that someone can sneak through while Killian’s getting the job done. -So here’s my question: Why did Cora end up sticking with the Wonderland crazy aesthetic of masks and whatnot? I feel like that’s just not her style. -Look at Killian’s reaction when he discovers that the organ is missing! He can HEARTLY believe his eyes! XD -Yay! Aurora’s heart looks normal again! A touch too pale, but normal! -”Actually, no.” While I do like how the legitimacy of this line is retroactively made better later on in this episode, I feel like as it stood at the second it was said, it was rather weak. I love Killian, but up until this point, for as much as he’s talked about honor, we haven’t been shown it as much. While yes, in “Tallahassee” iself, Killian didn’t lie to Emma, that act was done more passively. What I want (And again, get later on in this episode) is a more active show of that honor, for not only did it poorly affect the present events of “Tallahassee,” but this scene in its entirety too, including the hurt that’s supposed to be behind Killian’s speech about the bean. -I love Emma and Snow’s discussion about Emma’s role as the savior. The way that it builds is fantastic and the tragedy of the circumstances that Emma brings up (That she doesn’t know of her work as the savior was finished when the curse was complete or not) as well as Jennifer Morrison’s acting is just fantastic. It sells her unsureness and frustration concerning the fact that her saviorhood was created not from who she was as a person, but as a product of her lineage and a prophecy. -Cora sure CORRODED that dirt away! XD -”Honor? For the pirate that snuck into my palace and attempted to assassinate me?” She’s got a point there, Killian. -Okay, so I want to give a rebuttal, if you will to what is considered a plot hole. In the flashback to “Dark Waters,” the events are implied to happen between the casting of the first curse and when Killian pretends to be a blacksmith. The plot hole that’s brought up is that that’s not possible because Cora froze them for the curse. My point of contention for this plot hole theory is that people in the shattered Enchanted forest are shown to be awake. Mulan notes that Killian’s been in their town for a month and that the town needed time to be constructed. Therefore, I pose that the time spell broke when Emma arrived and Cora’s words were more in reference to her interest in traveling between the realms and that it would come to pass after the curse was broken because that’s when Regina would have lost everything. -I really wish they’d still call Mary Margaret “Snow” when she came home. It’s so annoying to write her long ass name. -Snow is the ultimate archer! Like, what the fuck?! She’s so freakin’ good! Who can shoot a freakin’ compass like that?! -”Normally, I’d prefer to do other more enjoyable activities with a woman on her back…” I know this line gets a tough break (And I have something to say about Killian’s more...unavoidably shitty thing down below), but I genuinely don’t think this line means what many antis say it is. The line is about sex and as it comes right after Killian saves a woman’s heart and gives it back to someone who will ensure Aurora’s autonomy, the framing of that line as crossing a line just doesn’t add up to me. While these are my thoughts on the line, I just want to make it clear that I understand sensitivity, and if something like this line hit close to home for a situation for you, I neither could nor would ever want to tell you you’re wrong. Killian’s manner of speaking in Season 2 was definitely problematic and I’m glad that the writers decided to stop going so close to the edge of discomfort going forward. -”With my life on the line.” I don’t think this line was only talking about his own mortality. As we’ve seen (And will see in just a couple of episodes), Killian cares fuck all about his mortality. His “life?” His revenge. It’s so pathetic to see that that’s what Killian’s measuring his life as and it makes his redemption at the end of the season much more meaningful. -I love the actiony nature of the climax. -Rumple, was probably not a great idea to knock out Belle’s bestie like that. -Something to point out, when Regina’s holding Henry back, she’s physically holding him back, either consciously or subconsciously holding herself back from using magic like she promised (Also, Rumple is the one who has used magic throughout this set of present events. -*Totally choking up at the Snow Swan Believer hug* -”Just remember never to bet against you in the future.” Emma, make sure you do that because if not, he will forget HARD! -Rumple and Emma’s conversation towards the end of the episode sells Emma’s dilemma over her nature as the savior. Rumple says it best: He made the curse, but he didn’t make her. He took advantage of the person she was, the person she built for herself to accomplish what he wanted, but she as a person was the one who came through and accomplished things. -”Dinner at Granny’s? On me.” Ruby, did you steal Gold’s wallet or something after the assumed verbal thrashing you gave him following you waking up? Because otherwise, that’s gonna cost a ton! There are at least twelve people in this room and those dwarves eat a LOT! -The lighting for Hook’s ship is AMAZING, darkened by the clouds and fog, but unmistakably The Jolly Roger. Arcs - How are These Storylines Progressing? The Journey Home (May as well combine the Emma and Snow/Storybrooke stuff since they’re one and the same) - And here we come to the close of this arc. Overall, this story was so well done. It accomplished the task of opening and closing so many stories and arcs, all the while involving almost the entire main and supporting of the series. Additionally, it went on for as long as it needed, never feeling too long or short. Most every episode was satisfying and contributed to the solving of this duo-realm conundrum. Rumple’s Redemption - Rumple, of course, took a bit of a step back here, but I like it. Not only is he early in his redemption, but Cora’s a threat the likes of which he hasn’t been threatened to face since he started his attempts to better himself. It’s also given an added bout of weight due to the circumstances that Regina laid out in the last episode (Cora could hurt Belle) and that he brings up in this episode (The entire town as a whole is in danger). Regina’s Redemption - I misspoke last episode by calling it the culmination of Regina’s redemption arc in this partial season, because in hindsight, it’s more of a two-parter. While we got payoff the last time in regards to the improvement in hers and Henry’s relationship, this is the challenge portion. It’s one thing to work towards repairing relations with your son who you unashamedly love, but to help not only those who you hate, but to also risk a powerful and abusive enemy crossing your path in the process is something else entirely, and that was such an important distinction to make and present. Killian’s Redemption - *sighs* So I can’t help but feel like the missteps I pointed out in my “Tallahassee” review really did this particular arc dirty. Like, I feel like had the interactions between Emma and Kiilian been a little bit stronger in terms of setting up a dynamic where trust was being built but cut down just as it was on the precipice of really coming out, the moments here where Killian shows such vitriol over being betrayed would have been so much more powerful and to see them not work because of that is just so frustrating. HOWEVER, I feel I should say, that doesn’t mean that there’s nothing good to be said about Killian’s redemption here, because a VERY good decision was made that for my money, essentially revitalized Killian’s arc. I am so glad that it was Killian who caught Aurora’s heart. As I said before, that’s the kind of show of honor that reinforces that there is goodness in Killian and that said goodness can be worth growing. It helps to solidify Killian’s ability to be sympathetic in a half season that characterized his more villainous attributes well, but needed a touch more balancing when it came to the more heroic ones. This one action showed Killian as both the pirate with the snarky one liners as well as a man who can be saved, and that was imperative to see before we went back to Storybrooke. Favorite Dynamic Rumple and Regina - Rumple is one half of the fork in the road for Regina’s conflict throughout the episode, but what I really appreciate is that it’s not just left at that. Look at the following line: ”You won’t be able to be a better anything if Cora comes through.” Rumple knows Regina so well, acting as the devil on her shoulder, but also a guardian at the same time. He knows not only what Cora can do to him and the town, but Regina too, just on a personal level. While he doesn’t say this outright, choosing to focus on the more overt danger that Cora poses, the way that Robert Carlyle delivers that line and the history that Rumple and Regina have together convinces me that it’s true. In this episode, Rumple’s motivations are selfish, but not entirely, and I found that so nuanced that I couldn’t let it go unappreciated. Writer Adam and Eddy were in charge here, and of course they are: The run the ends of every major arc! And I think that’s what they do best. If and when they communicate correctly and are paying attention to what the other writers are doing, they’re good at providing finales that come full circle from where they started. This is very much one of those cases. I feel like Adam and Eddy were really paying attention to what their writers were going for and wrote this episode accordingly. Also, I genuinely like their writing. What they put into this episode works, with natural dialogue and a good use of story elements all around. In this episode especially, we get so many from Rumple’s stolen wand to the scroll in the jail cell to Jefferson’s hat and even the well! Darker Aspects (TW: Mentions of assault and abuse) Watching Killian smack Belle is incredibly uncomfortable to watch. I get that we needed a way to see Killian turn on Belle after she showed herself to be useless and magic’s not really his thing, but maybe he could’ve stolen some sleep powder. It would be more in character given that he’s a pirate and wouldn’t push a character who was designed with redeemability and sympathy in mind to a place that’s so screwed up. And I get that villains have done worse. Hell, this isn’t even Killian’s worst deed (Not by far), but modern sensibilities are what they are for a reason and something so personal as hitting a woman in such a real way simply strikes a lot harder of a note than a murder which for most audiences has a level of distance (Especially given the more fantastical methods of death in this show such as being gut by swords and having one’s heart ripped out and crushed), and this was the case when the episode aired too. Do I personally go on to like Killian after this? Yes, I think that’s pretty obvious from everything to my icon to my reblogs to the fact that I’m both participating in and creating a project partially dedicated to the guy, but just as with Regina and Graham, it’s a dark spot on a record that I refuse to forget, even as I move on from it. “I’m sorry, Mother. Without you, I’d never have become the person that I am now.” Given how abusive Cora was to Regina and how that abuse framed Regina’s mindset for such a long time, that line is so messed up, though better written for the fact that it was correctly framed for the complicated relationship that Cora and Regina have. Rating 9/10. What a fun episode! So much of the personalities of our mains come out as we close out the first major arc of the season! The entire episode was filled with great character moments and an earnest feeling of closure. It’s intense, heartwarming, romantic, and just a fun ride. I took points off for the uncomfortable moment as stated above in my “Darker Aspects” segment because that was honestly just disgusting to be portrayed in such a callous way and because of the disproportionate early payoff to the setup of the Emma and Killian dynamic. Flip My Ship - Home of All Things “Shippy Goodness” Hooked Queen - Regina’s hook pull was just sexy as hell. Going against someone as flirtatious as Killian with such an intimacy-inflicting maneuver just works so well! Captain Swan - Don’t think I don’t notice how the camera doesn’t point to Killian as Cora mentions how in 28 years, there will be a savior. Also, as this is a CS-centric segment in the scene with the infamous sword fight, I feel like I should weigh in on the immortal question: Did Killian throw the fight? My answer: Nah. There was this great post made a while ago and I don’t remember who wrote it, but they analyzed Killian’s sword fighting and concluded that he was trying to win, but not harm Emma in the process. Anyway, if you remember that post, please send it my way so I can link it! Finally, I found it to be such a good writing choice to have Emma be the one who heard why Killian saved Aurora’s heart because it was a good show of how he is someone redeemable. Swan Queen - Two things. First, Emma’s “thank you” is so amazingly sincere. It’s quiet, but energized, amazed and yet calmed. Second, the good-natured quips about Cora provides a very genuine moment of bonding for the two women for the first time really. Snowing - We get a great parallel here for the TLK that wakes Charming up. Not only is the dialogue given again, but the dwarves are there too and even the sheets are white just like in Snow’s coffin. It’s one of my favorite parallels of theirs, up there with some of the moments in “Snow Falls.” That’s because while there are these repeated elements, there are changes to make this a new scene and give it a different level of weight. It’s the first time we’ve seen a TLK in Storybrooke since the curse broke and new characters with new motivations are there for the ride. ()()()()()()()()() Season 2 has been utterly amazing thus far! Score wise, it’s doing better than Season 1, and even the disappointments have been relative improvements over the last Season’s. This is an especially great surprise because I had little recollection of Season 2 before I started this rewatch and I’m so happy that it’s been as good as it’s been and I hope that it stays this good going into the next arc!

Thank you all for reading and to the fine folks at @watchingfairytales! Putting this project together has really boosted my appreciation for the sophomore season of OUAT and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love the extra boost my channel has gotten since this has started and the people I’ve met by doing this!

Hey! Long time no talk! I was just listening to the OUAT soundtracks at work the other day to cheer myself up and I was reminiscing on the good old days in Rumbelle-land, and everyone being on tumblr. Hope you’re doing well!!

Aww, thank you!  I’m actually sick, which sucks, but hoping to be better by the end of the weekend (just in time for work, yay).  Hope you’re doing well, though!

As far as fandom goes I think a lot of us are still here, and there’s still plenty of new content being produced, so it’s nice that the fandom hasn’t disappeared with the end of the series.  But then we never were tied to canon, so that’s probably why XD

[remuspotters]

Hey, it is your CSSS again. That sounds awesome!! I hope the last couple of weeks will fly by so you can enjoy your well-deserved Christmas holiday as well. Ah I hope so too, I miss travelling. Oh no, fingers crossed hope it is just a regular fever and not covid. Ah I hope you can meet both Jen and Colin someday. Colin has yet to reconfirm. It has been postponed 4x already lol so I really hope the next date it can finally happen. Yay really cool that we have that in common. Haha understandable.

Yep I'm pretty excited to wind down! It's 2am and I have work in the morning but I've been fixing my own personal website so it's up to date with my work. Plus I tuned into work focus groups after dinner... why am I like this lmao. I swear I'm usually such an anti-workaholic O____O that being said, I'm always pretty chill with my work pace during the day but anything I do at night is a rush like it's uni all over again ahaha

That news about the con is nerve wracking though for sure! Fingers crossed! Makes me nervous about planning any overseas holidays.

And do you gif regularly? I'm not really sure to what extent people are still involved in the ouat fandom to be honest at this point, and if the gifs on my dash are from yesterday or 7 years ago 😂Either way I'm very glad people are making/reblogging content 10 years on. A real testament to the show :')

celticheartedfangirl reblogged your post and added:

I have NO SYMPATHY for poor widdle beaten up Hook....

Hey, I would like to make it clear that I did not have any Hades-related expectations up to this point. I just have a long and complicated history with the guy’s portrayal in modern media. (He’s not like the devil; not in any way shape or for, except that he administrates the afterlife. I may be resigned to him being The Bad Guy in nearly every mainstream story, but I don’t have to like it, do I?)

I’ve gone on about my “oh, wait, I was supposed to feel sorry for the guy??” elsewhere, but... yeah, that probably tells you my view of things. If you want a positive spin on this, it’s nice to see that everyone gets a turn on the plot-device seat.

And honestly, I don’t really care how the Rumbelle scene got in there. It was sweet and in-character, and while it certainly doesn’t replace a properly fleshed-out arc with an actual follow-through (yes, hello, 5A), I liked seeing it and I’m not going to pretend otherwise.

You can read about my feelings for the Neal-scene elsewhere, too. Short story: yay, Neal! Boo the actual content of that conversation, and I now have another fix-it fic to write *g*

{Quick request to anyone reading: I’m watching OUaT for the first time, and I want to avoid spoilers. So, if you want to discuss something spoilery, I’d be grateful if you could start a new post for that. Thank you!}

OUAT Season 7: Eloise Gardener, Pretty in Blue Episode Breakdown

HOLY SHIT, those were some good episodes (also is it just me or has the CGI on OUAT gotten better?). But let’s get into it, shall we?

Alice/Hook/Gothel: ALICE BEING HOOK’S DAUGHTER...I mean we all knew it but still nice to be validated, you know what I mean? But like he definitely raised her and took care of her, but they must’ve been cursed later. Probably by Gothel. Gothel being Rapunzel was not something I expected but Eloise Gardener, I sort of figured...cuz you know the witch, secret garden, “green thumb”...all that. Also, kudos to Regina for shoving that cake in the bin. Like she didn’t even say “Oops”, she just straight up shoved it and said too much sugar’s bad for you. Rogers getting Tilly a new chess set and promising a weekly game just *content sighs*

Rumple/Regina: I loved that conversation between them. He’s clearly awake (another thing we all knew, but nice to be validated again). But I’m intrigued about what his keeping quiet and playing along with Dru and Tremaine has anything to do with this guardian (who I suspect to be Alice)   which we still know nothing about and what they have to do with anything because they’re clearly not guarding the dagger.

Henry/Jacinda: Regina was very sneaky with how she meddled with Henry and Jacinda, but I’m glad she wasn’t the cause of their distancing. But Henry’s heartbroken look after Jacinda and Nick walked in just...my poor believer heart. I really like Ella’s back-story about her mother and her step-father and the necklaces and the shout out to Snow and David. Dru seems obsessed with Henry’s heart, physically and metaphorically. She wants to poison it, win it, idk. So grateful to Regina for keeping Henry away from her. She is still such a tiger mom, I love it. But finally, we got a Cindermills kiss (yay).

Nick/Jack: This Nick character seems decent enough and will probably be overall harmless considering the writers are blatantly pointing towards Katherine in the whole Mary Margaret-David situation in Season 1. I really thought he might be Flynn Rider but no such luck...he’s Jack apparently. Jack like “Jack and the bean stalk”? “Jack the giant slayer”?? I did some research and there’s another classic fairy tale character named Jack called “Lazy Jack” who wastes his family’s earnings through his laziness and stupidity which sounded like the story Nick told Jacinda about his pre-law school/break-up days. But I suspect, he will be major player in the future unlike Katherine who everyone just forgot about because they can’t redo the Katherine story line entirely, that would be ridiculous. Also, notice that Jack and Henry had a conversation about Star Wars and just a couple scenes ago, a child’s Star Wars backpack was spotted at Alice’s tea party in the Infinite Maze. Coincidence? I think not.

Regina/Henry: How much you wanna bet that Zelena is the one Regina and Henry are going to visit in San Francisco? Also, the Wicked Witch of the West in California? Nice one OUAT writers, nice one indeed.

Roni’s: Guys the local caterer and temp and Regina’s bar is named REMY....these guys are not hesitating with all the references: Wreck-It Ralph, and now, Ratatouille.

ooc - New Episode!!!

OUAT returns tonight (currently is airing, but I meant to post this before, whoops!). Yay! This means new material and new gifs! 

As usual, any content that contains spoilers (be it asks or gif sets or really anything that might spoil the episode for you guys) will be tagged with ‘ouat spoilers’ for the first 24 hours after the episode airs.

Since I don’t watch live, I won’t be answering questions immediately after the episode airs, but I am definitely looking forward to answering your asks!

[yeehawbisexualold]

I'm feeling so sad right now and I keep crying. Emma Swan is the best character I've even know. I love your fics but I need more so I was hoping you could rec me some of your favorite, long captain swan fics. Thanks, I hope you feel better soon.

I could go on for hours about how much I love Emma Swan and how devastated I am but I’m sure that’s not what you’re here for so yay!! fic recs!!!!

First of all, if you haven’t read Light of All Lights by @ripplestitchskein , what are you doing w your life?? It’s Dark Swan and Deckhand Hook and it’s so beautifully heartbreaking and so wonderfully smutty and so gloriously glorious. Seriously, it is one of the best works of fiction (fan or other) I have ever read so do yourself a favor and read it. 107k words. Rated E

This next one might be my all-time favorite CS fic. I’m like a puzzle (but all of my pieces are jagged) by @somanyfandomssolittletime. A friends to lovers hockey AU w an integrated NHL. This one’s a little bittersweet for me rn because the Blues just got knocked out of the playoffs. I’ve read this one more times than I can count. It’s a blessing and I’m actually about to go read it again. 18k words. Rated M

Harbor in the Temptest by @acrobat-elle is a Neverland canon divergence and who doesn’t love a good Neverland fic? This one’s a bit of an emotional doozy, let me tell ya, but it is so so worth it. 18k words. Rated T also by @acrobat-elle Breathless a post-Underworld fic in which Emma and Killian come back sharing more than just a heart. Idk what’s more intense the feelings or the smut. 31k words. Rated E

Love, Kindness, and Other Useless Things by @joneskillian is a thing of beauty. A historical AU set in 1815 and the slowest of burns. Emma works for Killian, taking care of his lovely daughter Grace. This one’s a wip and it’s like the highlight of my day when I get the notification saying it’s been updated.

Talking Body by @killians-dimples is another fic that I’ve read too many times. Rockstar AU, guitar player Killian Jones is in love w his media agent Emma Swan. BED SHARING!! and dry humping, god bless. Her writing is a breath of fresh air and I guarantee you will be satisfied and your spirits will be lifted upon reading any of her fics. 10k words. Rated M

@nowforruin is a multi-chapter Goddess. She has written soooo many of my favorite AUs. I honestly don’t know where this fandom would be w out her fics. To name a few of my favorites, Dropping Anchor a broke, both in heart and finances, Emma returns home. Her mother gets her a job working for the Jones’. 37k words. Not Rated. The Trouble With Faking It A fake dating AU and by golly is it beautiful. Emma is hired by Regina to date Movie Star Killian Jones to clean up his image and help him land a role. 124k words (YEAH BUDDY) Rated E. A Change in Wind I can’t even form words for how great this baby is so just read it. 65k words. Rated M.

Lonely Hearts Club by @niniadepapa. If you want to read something just absolutely adorable and lovely, an AU in which Killian starts conversing with a random stranger through messages written on a table at Granny’s. Two guesses as to who the stranger is. 16k words. Rated T

Strangeness & Charm by @bluestoplights. OK first of all, I just wanna give this girl a shout out because back in the day when I was still a mostly Hunger Games blog, I watched OUAT but didn’t blog about it, and I followed her for Veronica Mars and it was basically her Captain Swan blogging that made me want to join this fandom so kudos to you for giving me the love of my life. This fic is probably the longest on this list and every single moment of it is spectacular. Pirate Captain Killian Jones and Savior Emma Swan unite to liberate the kingdom. 243k words. Rated M. Also, give her 1989 fics a try, Wonderland is probably my fave.

Something About December by @high-seas-swan is a 12 Days of Christmas fic in which Killian gifts Emma something new every day leading up to Christmas. And it has a bunch of flashbacks throughout their relationship. Beautifully fluffy, A+ and I’m not just saying this because it was my CSSS gift from her. 7k words. Rated T.

Lastly for this list, Her Crowning Glory by @captainnagata a Princess Diariesish AU in which Emma Swan has to find a husband or else lose her crown to Killian Jones. Beautifully written and tons of fun. 66k words. Rated T.

I just want to thank every person on the list for bringing such beautiful content to such a beautiful fandom. Shipping Captain Swan would not be the same w out you guys. ♥

Play Date/Ethan Dolan Smut

Most of these are taken from my Wattpad account! (Twtrash01)

Send me requests for the following Fandoms: Teenwolf, Vampire Diaries, Dolantwins, OUAT(Peter Pan, Robbie Kay, Supernatural, Suicide Squad, The 100. Basically I’ll write for any fandom. I’ll write non-smut as well. Be specific in what you want! *I DON’T OWN ANY GIFS*

Request:  Yay, I love her so much too and I totally agree! ^3^ Okay, here’s the deal: I was thinking of having plots that revolve around the songs Gingerbread Man and Play Date for the twins… The only challenge that I’ve encountered is figuring out which one should correspond to who, heh. What do you think? I’ve been leaning towards pairing Gray with GM and Ethan with PD personally. ~ 🎀

Gingerbread Man/Grayson Dolan

“Hello?” I say answering the phone from an unknown number, “Come over, I wanna play.” The familiar voice said and without another word the line went dead. I let out a sigh, I stood up and I quickly got dressed. I checked the time and it’s was well past midnight, I climbed out of my window onto the roof before jumping down. It’s pitch black out, the lamp posts being my only resource of light. I knew nobody was home, he wouldn’t call me otherwise. I’m walking to his house nobody’s home, just me and him alone. I lay three soft knocks on the door, the wooden door immediately swung open. It revealed the familiar boy tall, dark, and definitely handsome.

"Come in.“ He said stepping to the side, allowing my to come inside. I stepped inside the dark house, the only light coming from an upstairs bedroom. His bedroom to be exact, he laced his fingers with mine leading me up the carpet covered stairs. We both entered his room, he closed the door behind me. He stepped forward pressing my back flat against the door. His hands cupped my face, his eyes boring into mine. "I’ll be right back.” He said pressing a wet kiss to my jaw. I stepped forward, giving him access to the door as he stepped out closing it. This was his favorite part, I quickly stripped myself of all of my clothes. He liked hide and seek although he always seemed to be the seeker. I had been here plenty of times to know all of the spots in his room to hide. I thought I’d make it easy for him and I climbed into his bed pulling the dark blue covers over my head. There was a clear smile across my face, my legs tingled with anticipation. I heard the creek of the door being opened, “Oh Y/N, you getting worse and worse at this.” He said and I could tell he had a clear smirk across his face, he probably saw my clothes scattered across his floor. A few seconds passed and nothing, not a single noise. I was about to pull the sheets over my head to peak out when they were ripped down. A squeal left my lips, “You scared me.” I said slapping his arm gently, “Found you.” He said leaning down and hovering his lips over mine, only mere inches and his lips would’ve been on mine. His eyes never left mine as he stood up straight and walked around the bed to the other side. He laid next to me on his side, his hand trailing down my side gently. I shivered under his touch. His hand made its way down my body, between my thighs. I parted them giving him access to my aching core, “Ethan.” I whimpered out his name, as he caressed the inside of my thigh. He was always one to tease, but he always pouted when he was on the receiving end of the teasing. His fingers finally made contact and a sigh left my lips, he pressed a kiss to my jaw as his swiped his finger between my lips feeling how wet I was. He groaned in my ear as he teased my entrance with his finger, I grinded my hips forward trying to get him to just do something, anything really. Finally he pushed one finger in, I felt my body tense up. He didn’t move his finger, my eyes were closed but I could sense that he was staring right at me. “Ethan.” I whispered and he curled his finger inside my pussy. He was so good with his hands, his thumb brushed my clit rubbing it with a bit of pressure. Not enough for my liking so I reached down and I placed my hand over his and he got the message. He added another finger and pressed down harder on my clit as he rubbed it. My nails dug into his bicep while the other gripped the bed sheets. “You like that, huh?” He rasped and I moaned in response, I felt myself getting closer and closer with each thrust and just as I was about to cum he pulled his fingers out and I whined at the loss of contact. “What the hell?” I asked and he smirked bringing his fingers that were previously in my pussy to his lips, sucking them clean. He sat up and reached into his nightstand grabbing a foil packet, he handed it to me and he stood up undressing himself. I couldn’t help but stare at his perfectly sculpted body, I ripped the packet open with my teeth placing the package on the nightstand as I took its contents and rolled it on his erect cock. His cock twitched as I did so, he got back into the bed and hovered over me as he pulled the bed sheets over top of us. He positioned himself between my legs, he gripped my thighs tightly as he pushed himself inside me. I backed arched up and a strangled moan left my lips, as a string of curse words left his. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he thrusted inside roughly, “Ethan!” I moaned out, it was getting so hot under the sheets. There was no air circling at all, quiet pants left his mouth as he pressed his lips to my neck. He nipped and kissed all over, my nails raked down his back sure to leave marks. He lifted my legs over his shoulders, the sheets coming off us as he did. Thank god I got a breath of fresh air, but now he was hitting my gspot at a new angle. I felt my second orgasm of the night approaching quickly. I didn’t even notice when Ethan slowed down as his own orgasm was approaching, I was too lost in my own. “Ethan!” I screamed out a I came, leaving red marks down his back. I was breathless and Ethan groaned and started getting sloppy as he came, I gasped when I felt his cum fill up the condom inside me. He pulled out and discarded the used condom in the trash. He laid on his back next to me, I rolled to my side so I could get a better look at him. “Ethan?” I questioned and he glanced over at me in acknowledgment. “Am I just a booty call to you?” I asked and he didn’t even look surprised at my question. “I like to think of it as more of a play date.” He answered simply, well that was not the answer I was looking for. I quickly stood up, holding the sheet flush against my body as I looked for my clothes. “Come on.” He said sitting up, “Don’t be like that.” He said and I rolled my eyes, “I don’t give a fuck about you anyways.” I said dropping the sheet and putting my clothes on, “I know you do.” He stated simply, “Who ever said I gave a shit about you?” I asked zipping up my shorts, I grabbed my t-shirt and I walked out of his room.  "I’m tired of chasing after you! I’m sick of your games!“ I shouted as I walked down the steps as I slipped my shirt on. I heard his footsteps following behind me, "Wait!” He said before I reached the front door. I turned around and he grabbed both of my hands in his, “This isn’t ring around the Rosie, Ethan.” I said and he smirked, oh how he loved games. “You know I give a shit about you.” I said looking into his eyes.
