@mariequitecontrarie thanks for the tag! 🙂

Rules: List 5 of your OTPs and tag 5 mutuals.

I love this thing when it comes round! It’s such a happy thing 🙂

#1 Rumbelle

look at these two dorks – how could you not ship them? Rumple is so full of self-loathing and Belle brings light to his life physically, metaphorically and Rumple in turn totally supports Belle! He lets her be herself, he respects her. I’ve always thought that’s why Belle first went ?? I like this guy! Because he respected her more than her dad/Gaston ever did.

#2 Bering and Wells!!! Whoop, whoop!

My newest obsession I love them so much! Myka is the only one who could have talked HG down. They have so much cool stuff – the grappler! With the “you can owe me one” 🙂 and how they just get one another, and they work together so well and HG sacrifices herself kinda and urk (I still haven’t seen past that because I’m so shook! It was such a perfect shippy thing but then not because of the death but I know that there’s going to be time travel or something and nothing can take that moment away! That moment when Myka said it wasn’t worth losing HG, and HG’s last act was to save Myka. I just can’t even gah!

#3 Evlynn

I love them! I love them! They’ve had what 3 TLK? I have written metas about them, about why they are so well suited. “I like the librarian, he’s weird but he’s interesting” and “I love you more than learning itself”. The push and the pull and the acceptance. I mean sure there’s frustration, they are two individuals used to being alone, used to making the decisions, trying to then function as a unit and there’s friction but there’s also so much love and caring right from the very start. Eve just got Flynn. “If that was the right thing to do then you’d be doing it, not reading about it.” Oh I could go on and on.

#4 Fitzsimmons

They are like the dictionary definition of best friends to lovers (although Philinda does give them competition on that score). They have been through so much, their bond and then their love has been tested every way imaginable. Fitz dove through a hole in the universe for Jemma, and Jemma basically dove into like the mirror universe for Fitz. They’ve travelled in time, they’ve fought together “I’ve saving England from evil robots with the man I love” and the whole team ships them.

#5 Do I have to choose because I have more than five? Ok, ok, I’ll obey the rules 🙁

#5 Jack and Irina

Oh their dynamic is – just wow. I picked them because even though it’s been probably years since I watched Alias, I have returned to their ship as inspiration in my writing repeatedly. It’s the old trope of “I committed the ultimate sin – I fell in love with the mark” – they were on opposite sides, Irina betrayed him, but oh boy did they still love one another. Even after twenty years, and all that pain, they still couldn’t help their feelings.

of-princes-and-savages  asked:

U for the letter-based ask list?: Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

OMG I love this question thank you!

*two seconds later*

OMG I hate this question! … but still thank you so much! 🙂

Haha, honestly talking about my faves is 🙂 🙂 but choosing between them??? I’m sure you know what I’m talking about heh.

Right erm wowzer ok.

Once Upon a Time seeing as that’s the fandom we share 🙂

To absolutely nobody’s surprise, sitting in one of the top 3 spots is this guy – Gold/Rumple. Why? Because I identify with his fear, his insecurity, his self-loathing. I understand the feeling. He’s relatable basically despite being very different from me in all other respects.

Regina, oh Regina, I love her so much. Why? Because of the depth and the layers and the complexity and the whole villain to anti-hero journey and the self-loathing that came when she stopped repressing her conscience. Like I said depth and layers. She did wrong, she knew it was wrong when she did it but she did it anyway and nothing will ever make that right. Fascinating character.

Nothing like a villain. I know, I know, you probably expected me to say Belle as my third choice and I nearly did but my feelings towards canon Belle are, let’s just say complicated to say the least. So anyway why Cora? Because she fascinates me. If I was still in the canon-divergence fanfic business I have several ideas I’d love to explore. It’s such a shame she got killed off so quickly. She was a schemer, I love those, reminded me of a Derevko (anyone else seen Alias?). Her motivations, her relationships – just fascinating.

Ok because of gifs this got long so cut time

Warehouse 13 because picking three is easy 🙂

Undisputed favourite, I could not love her more, I wish I could write all the fic. Another character who straddles the line between villain and anti-hero. She works with you, she works against you, always has her own agenda. She is utterly brilliant. HG Wells everyone.

I have to be honest I prefer Myka away from Pete as that’s when she really shines. She’s resourceful, she’s smart, she’s tough. I liked it in season 2 when she and Claudia went on a mission together and she was a confident agent, who gave Claudia good advice and just was very professional.

So last choice for Warehouse 13 has to be Claudia because I relate to her a lot. She is terrible with people, very awkward, babbles when she’s nervous. She’s also really smart, a total geek and extremely capable with stuff she’s good at – like computers.

So last fandom, what shall I pick? Stargate? No that’s like choosing which limb I want to keep. Erm *thinks hard*

Dark Matter because it’s slightly easier but I do still love most of them!

It’s the boss lady! She is badass, she is smart, she is the leader of the crew and that takes a toll, she has the burden of authority. She cares, and with the memory wipe their true selves came out, and then we got to learn about their history and that just hurt. Everything she went through made her the ruthless Portia Lin, underneath all that still was Two. Portia had the heart and had to live with everything. Once again I wish I could write all the fic ESPECIALLY AS THE SHOW GOT CANCELLED AND I’M STILL VERY BITTER!

OMG the android. Her journey is incredible. She doesn’t understand the social world, she has emotions that her programming can’t quantify. Then what is so so important is she gets an ‘upgrade’ that makes her instantly human and she rejects it. She chooses to be herself and what warms my heart/makes me cry is how her crew are happy about it. They accept her for who she is, even if they sometimes don’t know what to do when the android says awkward stuff.

Three. He pretends he doesn’t care but really does and he doesn’t hide it very well. There’s no artifice with him, he says what he thinks and he’s actually very loyal. He’s a good friend. Plus it’s super funny how his quarters are basically an armory. He’s a stereotype but it’s a good one.
