I just saw a couple of Star Wars gifsets of the original trilogy and had a thought.

Got to be honest I’m not all that happy with what the new movies did to the original trio (Han, Luke and Leia) and also where is Lando?

BUT

Without the new movies there would be no Finn, no BB-8, no Poe Dameron. No General Leia looking behind her when everyone looked at her (so iconic), no Chewie being a big damn hero and the best friend anyone could ask for.

So yeah that’s just my thought for the day. There is good with the bad, have to take the rough with the smooth etc. I wouldn’t trade Finn or BB-8 for anything.

The formatting screw-ups on tumblr mobile were mildly annoying until I noticed they were carrying over to desktop if I reblogged something on mobile.

Are you kidding me???

Sometimes I like to add posts to drafts to reblog later when on mobile and just ugh! Please tell me there’s a fix incoming? Surely they can’t leave it like this!

I know Black Lightning is DC but I was wondering earlier what Lynn would say if it was in the MCU and so the Sokovia Accords were a thing. When Jefferson wasn’t using his powers then it was a non-issue but once “Black Lightning is back” happened then uh-oh.

In case anyone wonders why I’m rambling about this. I’m holding a “virtual write-in” for my region for Camp NaNo this evening. I set it for 7-9pm tonight because there had been some real-world write-ins last November then so I thought it might be a good time. I said to tell me if it wasn’t and nobody said anything.

An hour in and nobody has shown up yet. I can’t do anything because I have to refresh the page every couple of minutes so I’m just marking time by fishing in Warcraft and writing this in between fishes.

Once Tag Game

Posted on by

@mariequitecontrarie thanks for the tag! 🙂

Favourite animal: Dogs in abstract. I love cuddly toy puppies, I love pictures of dogs but I don’t like any animal in person.

Favourite OUaT couple (romantic or not): Rumbelle obviously. Swanfire, BraveWarrior, I liked what little I saw of GlassBeliever. For Brotp I like Regina and Rumple’s snarkfest, Rumple and Bae/Neal, Regina and Henry, Rumple and Henry, Belle and all of the above.

Favourite OUaT character: Rumple, no question. Regina is a close second.

Favourite episode OUaT: Hmm I don’t know. Quite a few come to mind but for different reasons. “The Crocodile”, “Lacey” or maybe “The Outsider” – “Manhattan” of course or “Desperate Souls”. Too many to choose from!

Favourite actor OUaT: Robert Carlyle. Although I will definitely be following Lana’s career post-Once. I can’t wait to see what she’s in next.

Favourite season: Season 2 no question. Season 1 would come second and then each subsequent season in turn going down. There were some bright spots in each but season 2 shone the brightest by far.

Favourite sport to watch: I don’t watch sports. I don’t think I have the … oh what’s the word? I don’t like watching sports, I don’t enjoy live music, I don’t feel like anything is gained from ‘being there’. There’s a word and I can’t think. Basically I only watch scripted TV/movies. There are a couple of exceptions. I find QI and The Grand Tour quite amusing and I’ll watch say Location, Location, Location while I’m doing the ironing but that’s it. Come to think of it, this is probably why I’m constantly asking my friend “have you seen …?” And they say no because I’ve managed to watch far more scripted TV as I don’t watch any other kind pretty much.

Eye colour: Brown

Hair colour (natural): Brown

Favourite Disney film: The Princess Diaries. It’s my feelgood film. I watch it when I’m unwell or sad. I have no idea why but I’ve loved it for the past 15 years. I’ve watched it so many times I could probably quote the entire thing.

Favourite drink: Well I pretty much just drink water, so that I guess.

Coffee or tea?: Black coffee, no sugar, large mug. Need at least two before I start functioning I swear.

I still prefer him in cardigans.

Jemma Simmons

and we know why right? Because cardigans means everything is safe, means that they are home. She might appreciate the badass bounty hunter look but she loves the man inside the clothes. Fitz might have become a bit of an action hero but deep down he’s still the dork she fell in love with, that’s his true self and the cardigans reflect that.

A life together, maybe a little cottage in Perthshire 🙂

I took an unexpected nap and woke up to find my Netflix account had been hacked.

How? Why?

Full credit to Netflix though. It was free to call to fix it, my call was answered immediately (no hold time) and the lady was very kind.

Still think it was punishment for the nap 🙁

I’m not going to tag this as anything because I don’t like drama but I was thinking about Agents of Shield recently (who am I kidding? I think about it a lot!) and I’m not totally up to date because UK channel 5 are annoying but I have an idea of what’s coming. #NoSpoilers because I don’t like them, I did try and avoid them but that’s next to impossible on tumblr heh.

Under the cut because I’m a coward. I just want to get this off my chest basically. I mean I don’t think anyone follows me for Agents of Shield so it’s likely nobody will even read this, but writing it down makes me feel better so /shrug. Just my two cents folks.

I like your theory of Gold’s ring & @sarashouldebestudying’s TLK would only work in FTL where the curse came from. Mine was a combo of “magic is different here” & Rumple believing in their love which over S1-3 (phone call, Pandora’s box, “you made me stronger”) he did. Then A&E retconned it with that MacGuffin so CS wouldn’t panic about TLK not working. They treated EQ as an entity making Regina do bad more than the DO curse, unless it’s Emma. And let’s face it they change the rules every series

Hi anon *waves*

To be honest I kinda agree with the “change the rules every series” or you know even “change the rules ever 5 minutes”. Usually I’m all about finding in-universe explanations but with Once for my own happiness and sanity, I came to believe that creating a coherent narrative was easier if I ignored certain ‘canon’ bits. Some things just contradicted each other so much – at least in my opinion – and I guess I got attached to my version of the characters, and so I tried to make the show fit that and when it was impossible I ignored the show.

With my response to jackabelle I tried very hard to consider all the canon that I knew about/could remember as it was my understanding they wanted a canon meta explanation. That’s why I didn’t say anything about the writers changing the rules. I did call the Guardian a MacGuffin, but then that’s what people call the infinity stones in the MCU movies sometimes, it’s just a term and from my pov means nothing negative 🙂

Anyway, forgive me if this wasn’t your intent but I’m going to pick up on something I found very interesting in your message

making Regina do bad more than the DO curse

…

and I’ve gone on a lot so under the cut for length.

Has anyone written any meta, fic, or anything with a theory on why Rumbelle simply didn’t use TLK to break the Dark One curse? It’s been a popular fandom assumption all along that the only reason all their numerous kisses throughout the years didn’t break his curse, is b/c he didn’t let them. But if he wanted to break the curse, it should work, right? And wouldn’t that be a heckuva lot easier than all this Guardian business? 

Could it be b/c they were afraid that the Darkness would simply go in search of another host, like when the Apprentice took the Darkness from Rumple’s body and it sought out Regina instead? But…. withdrawing the Darkness from its host and breaking the curse are two different things, so I’m not sure that logic holds. Maybe they just didn’t want to take the smallest risk of it happening. 

I always headcanoned that his ring protected him from it. That he crafted it in the EF in case Belle came back and then it came over with the curse and Mr Gold wore it for 28 years. A little torment in the life of ‘comfort’, just like the boarded up library he passed everyday. He wouldn’t know why it made his heart hurt, not until he woke up from the curse anyway.

Leaving aside the season seven plot. Belle fell in love with Rumple as the dark one. She told Neal that she “loved all of him, even the parts that belonged to the darkness” and the season six finale had Rumple doing the right thing. Rumbelle had their happy beginning without TLK. Why would they want to break the curse of the dark one? Rumple had it under control and magic sure comes in handy – like the power to travel through magical realms on their world tour. It’s not a curse if it’s not a curse to the one that holds it.

Maybe that’s the answer. The guardian business is all a MacGuffin. All Rumple has to do is let go, to feel the curse chafing and poof TLK will take care of it. With Belle unavailable perhaps he should visit his son. Then he can grow old at Gideon’s side, hopefully Gideon will find love and have children (adopted or biological) and then in the fullness of time Rumple will … well you know.

Is it just me or is tumblr very quiet today?  Is everyone doing family stuff for Easter and it’s just me, the heathen, sitting here refreshing stuff?

I’m here *raises hand* but I have no new content to post and I try and resist rambling about what I’m doing in case it annoys people.

So maybe people are lurking 🙂
