Did anyone else get a very 1920′s noir feel from her hair/makeup/clothing or is that just me? Seriously, I was like – give me all the AU’s, and imagining starlet Belle ala Audrey Hepburn.
I know, I’m mega behind on finding out news but Jaime Murray has got cast in Once? Oh yes! I have loved her since her Hustle days, which I think was her first big break. Sorry, I just love it when actors show up in other shows. It’s something of a hobby of mine, naming where I know all the guest actors from, without resorting to IMDB 🙂
#I now have another reason to watch next weeks scary episode
Tomorrow I really need to finish something. I have so many half-written chapters it’s ridiculous.
For now, I’m going to go … watch … Sunday’s … episode. I remember the days when I wasn’t reluctant to do that. Anyway, I will blog later, or tomorrow with my review.
Oh new shiny icon! So if you’re anything like me, you’ll be like “who is this person on my dash?” because I identify blogs by icons, and I get really confused for a couple of days after people change them. I haven’t changed my icon since I joined tumblr in May though, so it was probably due. It was made by @rowofstars picked from the set they recently posted, I had real trouble choosing which one to use, there were 4 I was torn between.
Heh yeah if you sent a message between the first one, and this one, then tumblr ate it. You’re watching Stargate? You don’t have to do that, I mean sure everyone should watch Stargate because it’s amazing, but it’s not necessary. Like I said the prompt didn’t come from Stargate exactly. I suppose I mentioned Stargate rather than Firefly because of the feel of the show.
Stargate is a happy show, sure bad things happen but the angst is mostly external and the core of the show is the bond between the team. They have their differences but they always support one another. I love that team bond, plus they always win. It’s a lot more comedic than Firefly, plus it’s closer to home. SG1 are heroes but they feel like normal people. I just love the characters banter. Plus Stargate has a happy ending, there’s no character death (with three notable exceptions) and it just makes me happy to watch it.
Anyway, your questions are hard because I can’t think of anything beyond the usual. For characters, I don’t despise anyone but if you choose to use them, I’m not a fan of Zelena or the Blue Fairy unless they are villains. I don’t how you feel about Hook but if you use him I prefer him a villain to be honest.
For everything else I’m not a fan of a major character death. I wrote a fic recently with major character death, and I felt so guilty I wrote a second chapter the next day erasing the death and giving them a happy ending. I would definitely like a happy ending if at all possible.
Anyway, I think I’ve gone on a bit. I don’t want to scare you away Santa 🙂 I hope you are well and that you have a good week!
Oh man how to choose? Ok under the cut, because I like gifs, and in no particular order …
Hustle – Ash Morgan
Dark Matter – Two aka Portia Lin
CSI – Catherine Willows
Agents of Shield – Leo Fitz
Numb3rs – Amita Ramanujan
What! No Once Upon a Time? Yeah I couldn’t choose between Rumple and Regina. What! No Stargate?
Yeah how can I choose when I love all of the characters so damn much? I thought maybe about picking Samantha Carter because she is an inspiration, or Nicholas Rush just because, but really it was like a 10 way tie. What! No…
I had the same problem with Alias, how could I pick between Jack and Irina, or Sark actually for that matter? With Flashpoint, how could I pick between Spike and Jules? Then there was the problem of can you still call a character your favorite, if the canon version started to disappoint you? I had that with both Ziva David and Kensi Blye on NCIS.
Hmm I just realized my favorites all have something in common – they are all brilliant. Ash is the fixer on the team, he can hack into anything, he is the one that makes all the plans work. Amita and Fitz both have PHD’s, Catherine is a forensic scientist and Two is the brains of the Raza. Then for the ones I couldn’t pick between, Carter and Rush are both scientists, Spike is a hacker/brains of the team … yeah I’m sensing a pattern emerging heh 🙂
Oh *blushes* I think so too but (whispers) I don’t know if I’m ready.
#sorry I know that’s a rubbish answer but there was nothing else I could really say without spoiling the next chapter#don’t worry I’m not planning on leaving it a month this time
Ask me anything about my fics, ask my characters anything. You can send me a word and if it’s in my WIP doc then I’ll post a teaser snippet. I accept prompts for any of my existing verses.
You know when I said you guys wouldn’t notice I was doing NaNo … yeah I think you might have noticed heh 🙂
So, this season has been horrible for us and I know many of us are struggling out there. So let’s do something about it. Let’s show that this ship is ours and no one can take it away from us.
Let’s have a fic-a-thon. I understand many of us are doing Rumbelle Secret Santa, so I’m not suggesting anything huge. Let’s just write a little something or hold on an update for a fic and publish it on a specific date so we can all show how much we still love our favorite couple.
Some of you have suggested holding this Revolution for this Sunday. If this is agreeable, then we can do that. However, If others feel they want to have more time to write something, then suggest another date.
Let’s take our ship back and show they are still out OTP!
#I can certainly hold off on posting chapter four of I Love the Way until Sunday#that has so much fluff it’s giving me a sugar rush writing it
Ooooooh idea! Is it possible to write a fix-it fic without seeing the episode? Because I have a theory – it’s all in the floof.

Evil alternate universe. Spock grew a beard, Rumple has short hair. There was an accidental switch while using the dream dust.
OR to fit better with the show’s current Jekyll and Hyde theme …
Rumple used the serum on himself, and his evil side was stronger, and the real Rumple is locked up somewhere, while the dark one roams free. To distinguish between the two of them when there’s the eventual showdown, and also as foreshadowing to hint at the switch – the evil version cut his hair.
I haven’t seen seen Sunday’s episode but I could tell something monumentally bad had happened from an icon change, and I couldn’t wait until Wednesday to find out what. So I’ve seen next weeks promo and read a summary and there are no words.
I felt a few times in season five, that I’d slipped into an alternate reality because nothing made sense. This goes beyond that. This show hasn’t just gone off the rails, it’s unrecognizable. I’m still going to watch Sunday’s episode for myself on Wednesday, and I’ll still try and search for ways to explain it that are consistent with the characters. I don’t know if I’ll have any hope to offer but I’ll try my best.
Headcanon can fix a lot of things but to quote Rumple himself “some things can’t be undone” and while I’m still positive that Rumbelle will reunite because a) they are an iconic Disney couple, b) the movie next year. I don’t know how they are going to do that right now with any integrity. I’m concerned that it’ll just be forced march plotting again, and all of this will just be pushed under the rug. No consequences, nothing will make sense.
Anyway …
If nothing else, we control our fix-it fics. I’ll be updating mine tomorrow 🙂
