I have season seven feels from that gifset I just reblogged. I’ve reblogged that gifset so many times because I think it’s the only scene in the show that has Regina, Rumple and Henry that isn’t just a group thing.

All I want from season seven is Grandpastiltskin, and Regina going into protective mother mode. I want them protecting Henry because even if he’s grown-up, he’ll always be Regina’s kid and Bae’s son. Maybe we could see that struggle actually of “I suppose I have to accept you are all grown up” and then working together to protect their extended family.

If I don’t get it then I will have to fic it because I want this so much.

YES! Dear god I want Rumple and Regina fighting for their family because whoa that’s powerful after so many years of them being opposed to each other. But I feel like any reasonable villain would really not want that because honestly… the Evil Queen and the Dark One fighting against you? What’s that gonna last like 5 minutes?

Well … yeah. I’ve always likened Rumple to Professor X to be honest. He’s so powerful, and so skilled (I mean he schemed for the dark curse – that guy can plan) that they have to take him out of the game or a half season fight against a villain, would be over in episode one. Just like Prof X was in a coma in the first movie, brainwashed in the second, dead in the third etc. They always sidetrack Rumple so that he doesn’t just take care of business.

It’s kinda the same with teaming up with Regina. Two powerful, angry, highly-motivated magic-users? They would tear through the bad guys like tissue paper and have their family back in no time. Yeah all the villains we’ve seen so far wouldn’t stand a chance. However, maybe if in season seven there is the biggest bad ever, then perhaps Rumple and Regina wouldn’t have to be brought down to the villains level (depowered or rendered useless) and instead they can fight with everything they have because the villain is on their level.

I can dream 🙂

I haven’t watched CSI:Vegas in ages but tonight I felt like it. Only problem is what episode? I have 9 seasons to choose from. My default is usually to watch season 1 as it’s probably my favourite. I do like season 5 and 6 a lot as well. The problem is I remember them – cue random number generator.

1-141 and it gave me 30, so I’ll be watching episode 2.07 tonight. I used to curse RNG when I played Warcraft but it has it’s uses 🙂

Channel 4 is showing Agents of Shield Season Four weekly, so I’m behind. The US has finished and I have five episodes left and I can’t wait to watch them! Now half the reason is just because urk I really want to watch them! The other half of the reason is probably a little weird.

I am desperate to do a rewatch. I want to start from season one and watch the entire show again. I have a mighty need but I don’t want to go back to the start, until I’ve finished the end. It’s like a weird rule I have. No rewatching if I’m mid-season of a show.

Five more weeks unless C4 mess us around. Five more weeks and I can go back to the start and then enjoy the show all over again.

I think I’m going to give up posting monthly status updates for a while because it’s just embarrassing. I’m posting next to nothing. It was different when I had a dozen different fics on the list but one? two? *hides in box of shame*

Writing is hard, I’ve completely lost all my confidence. Every word just feels wrong and I stare at fics and everything just seems rubbish. I really feel like I’ve forgotten how to word. This is why my WIP’s are so horribly neglected. Nobody think for one instant that they are forgotten, they are always on my mind, taunting me with their unwritten state. Honestly the guilt is killing me. It’s just WIP’s are sometimes harder to write, especially a story like PLL because I care about it and I want to do it justice. I’ve put a lot of effort in and I don’t want to screw it up with some badly written chapters.

So yeah that’s basically this months update. Writing is hard guys.

I have a question.

If you are doing a gift exchange, how attached are you to your prompt?

Ride or die | A little put out | Eh, whatever | I can’t even remember my prompt

Eh, whatever. Not at all attached. This is critical for me personally. If I’m attached to my prompt, I want to write it, and if I want to write it, I will imagine it a certain way in my head and risk being unfair to the person who treats it the way they want to. Which they have every right to do, because once I give it away, it’s in that person’s capable hands, and they should do whatever they choose and take the prompt where their unique imagination goes.

In general, I want anything and am thrilled with any gift that honors what I love and pays time and attention to my likes and interests.

“Eh, whatever.”

Honestly, what I enjoy most about gift exchanges is being ‘assigned’ to produce something, having a deadline. That pressure keeps me motivated, and the stuff I’ve done for exchanges feels so much better and more inspired to me than the stuff I do on my own.

I honestly just pull a prompt out of my ass while I’m signing up. I couldn’t care less how loosely my gifter interprets it. They can throw it in the trash and write something totally different, for all I care. I just want them to have fun.

Thanks for the feedback,
ifishouldvanish

and @mariequitecontrarie. I know I’m not attached to my prompt, but I also see people tying themselves in knots filling other people’s prompts. I like the social aspect and giving love and of course making something pretty for someone, but I don’t like the stress of trying to make art about a fanfic prompt. (which let’s face it, most of the prompts are) And I actually have time this year to do rcij, so now I’m leaning towards signing up.

@thechloris I for one would adore receiving art from you, and I think many people would feel the same.

If you should ever receive me for a giftee, make me absolutely anything and I will go crazy for it!!!

@thechloris events aren’t just for fic! I’m constantly trying to promote @a-monthly-rumbelling for art (sorry I know this is about RCIJ but it’s relevant) because while people have just done fic for months literally anything is welcome. Drawing? Great! Gifset? Fantastic! Captioned Screenshots? Have fun! I think most people do fic simply because it’s accessible. Whereas graphics require software and practice to know how to use said software.

So please if you want to sign up, I echo @mariequitecontrarie when I say I would be thrilled if you were my gifter. I would put whatever art you made on my ‘always reblog’ list and I would gush in the tags and love it to bits. This doesn’t just go for art but for fan videos or metas, or playlists, or anything else people are inspired to make. There’s more to fandom than fic and everything is amazing and extremely welcome!

Fellow UK peeps on here – ARE YOU MELTING TOO BECAUSE I’M SUFFERING

I have to go and run soon 🙁

On the bright side we have a sea breeze here 🙂

We have no breeze here 😩

I just had a shower and felt better for about 5 minutes and now feel like muck again

You know what’s even worse? It’s only May! I hate summer. Bring back winter, and I can snuggle under blankets. There’s always something that can be done about being cold but the heat is inescapable.

I swear if it gets hot like it did last July I really will melt…

My thermometer says 26 which is damn uncomfortable, though it has got hotter. When it’s mid thirties like last July yikes. The problem is England isn’t set up for heat. Our windows don’t open, we don’t have screens to stop bugs from coming in if we can open them, and homes generally don’t have AC – in fact a lot of offices and public buildings don’t. I really hope this isn’t an omen for a hot summer because do not want!

13) Unpopular opinion about XXX character?
I’m trying to think. This question is quite difficult really because I’m used to swallowing my unpopular opinions as I’m too scared to express them. Plus I try very hard to see both sides and that usually winds up moderating my ‘unpopular opinions’ into something more mainstream. For instance there’s something that keeps coming to mind but I’m slapping my brain right now, and saying that’s not the characters fault, that’s the writers.

I wish Cora hadn’t been killed off. Is that an unpopular opinion? I liked her, I thought her potential was cut seriously short. I also liked the Black Fairy and as much as I love the finale for all the gifts it gave us, I don’t like how it turned her into a 2D one-note villain, and then just killed her off. How about I still wish Gideon hadn’t been de-aged into a baby? I mean please don’t get me wrong, how they did it with it just happening was the best way they could have done it, and Rumple and Belle being all sweet with the baby is just adorable. I love all of the baby scenes! I just liked adult Gideon, and I liked his potential but I guess there’s always fanfic to explore that, and the cuteness of the Gold Family can’t be denied 🙂

14) Unpopular opinion about your fandom?
This is similar to question 19 so I don’t really know what I can add. I’ve rewritten this answer several times. I think basically anything I say wouldn’t be this fandom, it would just be applicable for any community really. What it boils down to is “I wish we could live and let live a little more” which I know is hopelessly naive. I mean it’s this wish which is why I’m trying so hard to temper all my statements because just because I feel that way about something, doesn’t mean that if someone feels differently they are wrong.

I do generally operate under the rule that “if I don’t have anything nice to say, then I don’t say anything” but that’s me being me. If others just want to say anti stuff all the time, then that’s cool because everyone can do what they want to do. I do kinda wish sometimes people would tag a little better. As I said before I really don’t like the jumping to conclusions, and then that becoming fact and it all being doom and gloom with no proof. Also, I think that sometimes there’s a time and a place for people to make anti comments and that where people put them isn’t always ideal.

However, that being said I’m not someone that thinks people should just “stay in their lane” but then I’m passive and not likely to argue. I’ve had comments on posts of mine that I’ve blinked at, and thought that wasn’t really called for, but I’ve never said a word about it. I don’t like drama. I love this fandom but it can be a scary place sometimes with all the drama.

20) What is the purest ship in the fandom?

Thank you! 🙂

1) What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?
Erm *hides* SwanQueen. I know, I know, it’s incredible popular but I’ve just never been able to see it. I’ve tried to see it, I’ve read lots of metas and looked at the gifsets, and sweet merlin have you seen the fanart? It’s just gorgeous! Some seriously talented people there. I just don’t ship it and I’m sorry for that. I also don’t get OutlawQueen either.

I don’t actually ship Regina with anyone, I wish I did because she’s my second favorite character and I love her. I want her to be happy but nothing has clicked in my mind as being right for her. With Emma I ship Swanfire, and if Neal isn’t around then I’d probably go with MadSwan. I’m very ship and let ship, I think people should ship what makes them happy, but I do feel bad about SwanQueen. I know so many awesome people that ship them and I wish I did, I really do, but I just don’t.

Sometimes I’m like that. I mean I don’t ship Jack and Sam off Stargate SG1 either. I follow some very talented people that ship them hard but I just can’t see it. I love them individually as characters, I love them as friends and teammates but I just can’t see them working romantically and Jack and Sam were pretty much canon in the end. So the show itself shipped them. I don’t know, I just don’t get it.

5)

Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?
I don’t think so? I’m trying to think. If anything it’s usually the other way round. I’ll see so many sweet gifsets that I’ll start shipping something that I didn’t really think all that much about before. In fact thanks to gifsets I even took a second look at an entire TV show – Farscape. I’d tried one episode of that, decided I didn’t like it – 100 awesome gifsets later – I had the collectors edition complete boxset (I’ve just started watching season four).

6) Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?
Nope, I hate very few pairings to begin with, so there’s not much chance for fandom to change my mind that much. Fandom did make me really ship Swanfire when I’d been ‘I like it but I don’t care’ beforehand. I did curse fandom a little bit for that, making me love a doomed ship heh 🙂 That’s all that really comes to mind. The thing is I did like Swanfire before, so it was like into love. Mostly with ships I either see it or I don’t.

7) Is there anything you used to like but can’t stand now?
Yes and no. For instance Hook, I didn’t like him back in season two but I liked his character. I thought he had a good arc, in terms of how he connected to Rumple and Bae/Neal. He had the whole revenge thing going on which played off well against Regina, showcasing character development. He was a villain, unapologetic about doing whatever it took in pursuit of his aims. I understood why he wanted revenge, I was never going to side with him because I’m 100% TeamRumple but Hook was a good character.

Now? Hook is out of his element. He hasn’t changed but how people react to him has. I never minded being an arsehole in season two because there’s nothing wrong with a good villain. As another example I hated Zelena’s actions in 3b (I will never forgive her for Neal or for what she did to Rumple) but Zelena was a villain. She had some awesome sarcastic lines, I loved to hate her. Then just like with Hook, it’s a bit like slipping into an alternate reality, they haven’t changed as characters but everyone is saying they are heroes. It’s like what people say, and what they do, are completely different, there’s this disconnect going on.

So I can’t stand either Hook or Zelena now most of the time, because it ruins suspension of disbelief. They are changing the other characters around them, making the characters I love act out of character, and do stupid things, and so I don’t like it. Now, I have no problem with either Hook or Zelena staying around on the show. I just wish it had been done in a way that rang true and made sense. There has to be justification, I loathe forced march plotting. Where the writers/creators have obviously decided something has to happen, and so it’s very much “because I said so.” I really can’t stand that.
