OUAT Spot the Lie: Take Four

In order to keep things fair, the lie will be something that very much did NOT happen. There will be a few things I have to oversimplify for the sake of space (and comedy).

Have fun!

ONCE UPON A TIME REWATCH: 6.04, STRANGE CASE You see, there's one final twist - I am not the monster you need to worry about.

[ludoka]

Help! Why did my brain ship Tgs Jekyll with OUAT Hyde out of nowhere?????

I was imagining how the different J&Hs out there could interact.

So... POOM!! Unexpected flirtation between these two. 😂😂Now I can't get them out of my head!! Help!!

[the-fandoms-georgie]

Am I the only one whom likes Mr.Hyde from Once upon a time?

[rhys-ravenfeather]

You know, looking back on it, in the wake of Once Upon A Time, I guess it's actually kind of a good thing my favorite underrated Disney movies (Atlantis the Lost Empire and Treasure Planet) didn't get that much attention.

I don't think I'd be able to keep a straight face if Disney's scrappy steampunk sci-fi Jim Hawkins made a deal with the Evil Queen or Rumpelstiltskin to take him to the stars or something so he could save Silver from the Wicked Witch or whoever the magical arc villain was in that season and bonding with Henry over both having pirates for dads when Henry's mom married Captain Hook.

[autumn0689]

I’m surprised that in all the seasons of OUAT, in which they have had so many characters, ranging from Snow White and Cinderella to Bo Peep and Hansel and Gretel to even Frankenstein and Jekyll and Hyde that they never had Dracula!

They had werewolves and witches and Frankenstein’s monster, but not the big bad iconic Vampire man himself, Count Dracula.

This makes me think how they would do it. Rumplestiltskin would obviously be involved somehow, Dracula would probably either be related and/or a love interest to a character at some point.

I also wonder, if they had adapted Dracula into OUAT, what characters would they keep? Would Mina and Jonathan be involved? Would Renfield still be a servant of Dracula, or something else entirely?

So many possibilities, and as a fan of the book, I am both shocked yet somewhat thankful that they didn’t adapt it, especially with how they treated a majority of their characters.

[stabbyapologist]

Idk if I'd even want my man anymore if I found out if he fell in love with another woman...

[depressedstressedlemonzest]

On one hand, I get it belle. Teach him a lesson. But on the other. Cmon belle! He's trying!

Cmon rumple quit being an ass.

Hook being a messenger boy is funny.

😭😭😭😭

I love that snow is there for belle.

BUT I WISH IT WAS RUMPLE

God he's hot in that Pic.

Her pissed face is gorgeous too.

Just kiss and make up!

THE HAND GESTURES FOR THE MAGIC ALWAYS GET ME

Snapping and frothing at each other in anger but also still just so in love

😭😭😭

Okay but the gold side profile then the Rumple one?

Hot.

Didn't like him fucking with jekyll and hyde though

Just trying to find a balance between the man and the beast.

[eve-e-jane]

Hi :>

I'm a little demonic gremlin that crawled out of my little hidey-hole for a moment.

Random question: what are your favorite fandoms? And also— how are you? I hope you're doing good 💚

Back to my little cave now :D

Omg hi!!! Thank you for asking!! I’m doing pretty great- I hope you’re well too!

Favorite fandoms is SOOOOOO hard to narrow down because A) I love so many, and B) I often times forget lots of them, even if I love them a whole bunch (cause you know- hyper fixation).

But ask and ye shall receive: here I go trying to name everything I like:

-Right now I have just started OUAT which has been really fun to watch with some friends. So- that.

-I love Dimension 20, but I only really know Fantasy High and Unsleeping City (cause those are all that are free and available on YouTube).

-The Magnus Archives (and Stellar Firma for that matter) are some of the only podcasts I’ve listened too and I’m thoroughly hooked! I just started my second listen thru of Season 2 of MAG and I am SO excited for TMP!!

-I am a big book person: my fav rn is Dracula but I constantly switch it up. I also love Frankenstein, Sherlock Holmes (need to re-read this one), A Tale of Two Cities, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Little Women, Macbeth, Hamlet, Jane Eyre, and a few other classics. I also love a bit of YA: Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Lunar Chronicles, ASOUE (if that is considered YA?), and recently I read Sorcery of Thorns!

-Another hobby of mine is watching crime shows!! I’m all caught up on NCIS, Blue Bloods (SO sad this is ending), Chuck, Monk, Psych, and a few others here and there. I also love Superman and Lois on CW (SO sad this is ending too.) I have a few other shows that I’m not CRAZY well versed in but I love the characters and talking about them! That’ll be Merlin, Supergirl, The Flash- I didn’t finish the last two in that list and Merlin,,,, ah Merlin.

-Video game wise I am so behind in things but I do love them! I love the new Spiderman games though I haven’t played the second one so no spoilers!!! I am almost finished with Hogwarts Legacy and I love it so far!! I also love Jedi: Fallen Order and I have finished it but I have yet to play the second one so no spoilers there either!!!

-I’m also big on musicals! Not all of them, of course, but ask and I’ll let you know!

Well, that was FAR more info than I’m sure you wanted to know but you DID ask. I sincerely hope you’re well, and I hope we can be super cool internet buddies!

[victor-the-vampire]

Jekyll and Hyde kinda left my mind for a bit right? The fixation calmed down- then confrontation comes on my Playlist and it's back. Full force. God damn you hyde take all your evil deeds and rot in my brain. There's nothing I can do to separate myself from this media- this goes for all Jekyll and Hydes- (except ouat Jekyll and hyde. Never ouat Jekyll and hyde) anywho, imma go listen to the soundtrack while I draw my Hyde Frankenstien propaganda despite never having posted actual omam content on here

[ninxszenik]

I think I blocked our season 5 of ouat bc I could've sworn the jekyll and hyde storyline happened before the camelot one

[naivesilver]

I love your eah ouat crossover idea, do you have any more headcanons for this idea? I would love to see how rose is in this (if you going to keep her black, maybe the adopted child of belle and gold, gold do have an act for wanting people first born) you can also introduce kids thought the wish realm too, graham is likely not dead in the wish realm so hunter could exist, and there likely other prince chamming in other realms that not david too

WAIT I'D FORGOTTEN ABOUT ROSABELLA BEAUTY!!!!!!!! Fuck you're right I really need to incorporate her into the lore - could be the result of a deal gone south, or an actual adoption, or......much to think about, yeah. Especially since I really don't want to tamper with her ethnicity, so I'll find some universe jumping fuckery if I must. Also FAYBELLE - I don't know when Maleficent got the time to have a second daughter, but we need Faybelle around for the vibes.

I don't know about Graham, because his situation was very complicated, but you're spot on with the Charming thing. David even had a twin brother that was an asshole - wouldn't be a surprise if he'd had some (illegitimate?) children that can add some spice to the story. Also since OUAT picked tales left and right I'm STILL looking for a way to let Frankie (Whale, at this point) join the group!!!!! Either our Doctor friend had a one night stand too many or he sewed himself a daughter in his secret lab idk. I'd hate for her to be the only MH character I let in but a lot of monster parents aren't around (except Jekyll and Hyde, and some mermaids if we want to fuck around with Lagoona's parentage lmao) so we'll see what happens.

Finally this hasn't got anything to do with any smart idea but- what would the equivalent of following their destiny be in this universe? Kids who want to go back to fairy tale land and do stuff they think will make them "worthy" (eg. Apple, Daring etc) vs kids who want to distance themselves from that past as much as they can (eg. Cedar, Raven....)? We don't really NEED to find a substitute for that dilemma, but it would still be intriguing to explore.

(Thank you for the lovely message btw 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love talking AUs with people, and I'm glad you felt invested by this one)

[12freddofrogs]

I am assuming, of course, that only about seventy percent of this is canon according to the later seasons, but I am still yet to finish season one.

I’m not sure how much of August’s backstory is going to be revealed. He seemed like, narratively speaking, the writers were more interested in his mystery. Most of who he was has been revealed. He was implied for a moment there to be a potential love interest for Emma, but although that isn’t completely impossible just yet it doesn’t seem that likely anymore? So I’m not sure how much the writers are going to care about him moving forward.

That said, he knew about the Dark One’s dagger. This is absolutely not common knowledge. Unless a Rumpelstiltskin flashback unrelated to Pinocchio will soon reveal that all of Snow’s castle found out about that, but then I have some major questions about why he needed to be held in prison (although honestly, I can see Snow agreeing that the dungeon was a more humane place to hold someone then to magically enslave them.) But yeah, no, people don’t know about it.

Currently assuming that there is some kind of link between the fairytale world and the real world? Like, people know the story of Snow White, even if they got it slightly wrong. I can absolutely accept that there is an old book in a library somewhere that details old magic kept hidden in the world it applies to, an old book that a certain writer who has spent almost thirty years looking for would absolutely be able to get.

But, like. OUAT might not answer the question of when Pinocchio first discovered his story was a fairytale, but they are going to answer the question of how he knows about the dagger.

 That said. Unless it is explicitly stated otherwise in later seasons, I am going to assume that the real world successfully gaslit August at several points during his life into accepting that he was not really a puppet charmed to life. Not necessarily permanently, if we get confirmation that he has spent time working on the problem. Just… like, a year when he was sixteen or so that he found denial was more comfortable than not.

Yep. It’s been almost a week now, and I am still thinking about all the implications of August’s backstory that have been revealed, implications that I don’t think Once Upon A Time is actually going to touch on.

He was seven years old. At a guess, actually. Did the Blue Fairy tell him he was? Did Geppetto intentionally carve a child to be seven – no, six years old? Did they just judge based on his height and maturity level how old he probably was and went from there? Pinocchio may have been younger. Probably older.

He was seven years old and alone in a new world. And unlike everyone else, he did not get any new memories.

Everyone in Storybrooke was given fake memories about who they were, were told that this is where they had always been. I assume even Regina got fake memories so she could understand what everyone else thought, and also understand what a car is, although she knew her memories were faked. Perhaps if we got a flashback to just as the curse was enacted, they would be more confused about the world around them, but at the same time everyone was equally confused.

August had a seven year old’s maturity, and could only have existed for a year or two prior to that (and I refuse to accept that the whale and everything else happened when he was five, so let’s say Geppetto just underestimated his age), and was left holding a newborn.

His name was Pinocchio. He didn’t get a new name when entering the world, he kept his old one. When the people at the diner called the police and the social workers about two very small children, lost and alone, he told them that his name was Pinocchio. That is a name that has implications. At best, it meant his parents liked the fairytale.

How long did it take before he found out that everyone already knew his name? Did the police woman say, “Like the puppet?” or was it not until he got to the foster home?

Did the first social worker, in those first few days before they found an emergency placement (because babies are hard to place and the seven year old refuses to be separated, and despite what Emma thought about Hansel and Gretel social services actually will do their best to keep siblings together), figure that little Pinocchio might like the fairytale he was named after and put the Disney movie on?  Hopefully, they didn’t have the DVD immediately available, and Pinocchio had already been exposed to the concept of a TV show first, because if the first movie he ever watched was his own life that would entirely break his idea of what TV was.

Pinocchio was a real boy. He’d be annoyed if someone made a reference to a puppet, and overall everyone’s main priority is making sure he and the baby are taken care of. So it wasn’t actually immediate that people realised little Pinocchio genuinely believed he used to be a puppet. The poor kid. Something must have happened to him that was so bad it broke him, that he completely repressed his real memories of how he came to be beside that highway and decided he was actually his favourite Disney movie.

The kid desperately needs therapy.

Pinocchio ran away.

He got caught again, only a few weeks later, but the old foster parents didn’t want any of the children who had left. He was too ashamed to ask for Emma, but the new foster parents weren’t prepared for an infant anyway. These parents were nicer, though. Still didn’t let him play with tools, but they let him play with Lego and they were building blocks that felt kind of like being back at his father’s workshop.

He was eight years old. He couldn’t take care of a baby, couldn’t take care of himself.

He went to therapy. People asked him why he thought he was Pinocchio, and he answered about his father and the Blue Fairy. He talked about the Evil Queen and her curse, but he didn’t really know the full details of it.

Some of the therapists indulged it, asked questions about the Enchanted Forest. Most of them didn’t, overworked and underpaid and part of social services, and told him – only sometimes gently – that magic wasn’t real. His father wasn’t Geppetto, he never spoke to a cricket or a fox or a cat, never was swallowed by a whale or almost turned into a donkey. One of the therapists got deeply interested when he mentioned being held in a cage, but she seemed to pull back a little when Pinocchio mentioned that Stromboni had threatened to cut him into firewood.

He was nine years old, ten years old, eleven. He’d worked out what a movie was, understood that most of them weren’t real. Some of the stories were familiar – he’d met Cinderella, had helped carve toys for her unborn child; Snow White once found him sneaking cookies from her kitchen and had distracted the chef so he wouldn’t be caught; Red Riding Hood had to babysit him once when his father and Jiminy had been called away. But the stories weren’t real, were they? He was on medications and therapy and was told day in and day out that fairies weren’t real.

How long did it take before a child, entirely alone in a different world and without any proof of his own, started to believe them?

He tried to check in on Emma as a teenager, but she’d been moved through too many other homes by then. Maybe he could have looked harder. He didn't.

He changed his name when he was ten years old, tired of everyone reacting to the word Pinocchio. He changed it again at eleven, and at twelve. He picked August Wood at fourteen, changed it again and then eventually came back.

He snuck out of curfew with no conscience on his shoulder. He took woodworking in school, got a job in fast foot specifically so he could afford to take weekly classes at the centre across the road.  

He spent his second pay cheque on a marionette puppet on a whim. It was plastic, not wood. He’d had the idea of learning to move it, but it creeped him out for reasons he couldn’t answer. He wanted to ask it questions, but the puppet never replied.

As a kid, Pinocchio had been aware that the puppets in his father’s workshop weren’t alive, in the puppet show with Stromboli. It had always given him an undefinable feeling that he’d never managed to articulate anyway, watching those faces stare down at him.

August kept the puppet locked in his closet.

He got his first girlfriend at fifteen years old. They dated for a few months, and it went well, until in a moment of vulnerability he confessed that as a kid he had been convinced he was actually Pinocchio. She had thought it was cute until she realised that part of him, buried deep, still kind of believed it.

August grew out of the foster care system. He made a half-hearted attempt to track Emma down, but she wouldn’t have recognised him. He wasn’t even sure if she was real, either, but the baby on the side of the highway, at least, he found articles on. He could confirm she was real. He remembered her mother, and couldn’t quite picture Snow White as anything but the Disney princess.

He went out on adventures. He went out whale watching, and tried to convince himself that the panic attack was seasickness. He got a cat that he named Figaro. He went to Disneyland and, twenty years old, cried on the Pinocchio ride as they went through his own childhood, through a movie that he had seen a thousand times. He went on it three more times that day.

It was a game to go to every Disneyland park in the world, now, so he did it. He liked travel, liked to see the world. Every single time, though, no matter who else he went with or the amount of rollercoasters they went on, he’d regularly touch at his ears, checking that they weren’t growing into donkey ears.

August said that he was a writer. That could have just been a cover, a reason for why he was there. I’d like to think it was real. He wrote poems about growing up differently, poems people assumed were metaphors about being carved out of wood.

He had a couple of kid’s books, aged ten and under, that actually sold okay. They weren’t about Pinocchio, but they were about kids who travelled from a magical world into the real world, and had to learn how to survive. That series ended with the kids getting back home, however, having saved the day.

He tried to look for his real parents, the ones who actually existed, not Geppetto. Maybe the image in his head of a kindly old man really was his father. Real people in real life knew how to carve.

If Geppetto didn't exist, that meant he'd never broken his promise, right?

August, Pinocchio, was a child left alone in a world that told him his memories couldn’t be real. He learned to lie about them, keep himself away from questions, cut down his childhood into the parts that people believed, about carving toys and playing games. Part of him genuinely stopped believing, and part of him just learned to lie.

And then one morning, in Phuket, Pinocchio woke at 8.15 am to find that three of his toes had turned back to wood. The doctors couldn’t even see it, but an X-ray revealed something was very, very wrong. His toes looked normal to the naked eye, but there didn’t seem to be any bones in there. He got sent for more tests.

August didn’t take them. He fled the hospital instead. He returned to his hotel room, panicked but not actually being chased, and threw his medication in the bin.

It was real. He was really Pinocchio.

Be honest, brave, and unselfish and you will always be a real boy.

He’d broken the Blue Fairy’s promise, and the spell was breaking.

It took over a day for August to realise the real problem.

He couldn’t move his toes.  

Geppetto was a master craftsman, and had put all his effort into it. Pinocchio had been carved with fully articulated joints, including the ones under his shoes. The toes still bent when August picked them up by hand, but he couldn’t move them consciously.

He stabbed his foot with a knife, peeled off chips of wood.

It was years ago, but August remembered that in the Enchanted Forest, he had felt pain. Not in the same way as he had as a real boy, but he felt it. He used to be able to feel things through his wood.

Magic didn’t work in this land, though. He wasn’t turning back into an enchanted puppet. Just a puppet. An actual, lifeless piece of wood. Piece by piece, his body was breaking down.

Storybrooke wasn’t that well hidden, honestly. It was easy to find once you knew what to look for.

He recognised people. He saw Geppetto walking down the street and froze. He actually didn’t recognise Archie until they’d already started up a conversation in Granny’s diner and nearly choked on his lunch. He worked out who the Blue Fairy was, and went to ask her for advice.

He hadn’t known what Emma grew up to look like, but he’d recognised her anyway from the moment he walked in.

-------- I mean, I'm only a single season in, but even if his backstory is given more detail, they're not going to actually explain every day of those twenty-eight years. He's been existing in the real world without the Enchanted Forest. Regardless of what else we find out about him, OUAT is probably not going to say that he didn't go to every Disneyland.

[pirateswhore]

If you had to fight a OUAT villain, who do you think you can honestly take?

I think i could take peter. Im on the short side and he’s basically a skinny teen. Granted he has super powers and can fly but i feel like if i swat him with something like a bug before he gets too high in the air, i could mess him up. I’ll just wet up a beach towel and smack him before he can fly too high. Then i can beat him before he gets a chance to regain focus. If i see him in these streets its on sight. His lanky lost boy friend is going down.

#1 - the image of Peter Pan being swatted from the sky like a bug made me laugh so delightfully, thank you nonnie

#2 hmm. let me think about that.

I don't want to give myself too much credit, but I trained boxing n handball for 5 years, I'm 5'10 n somewhat muscly, so I have the physical upper hand on most of them. the issue lies with how well they use their magic in combat. are we going hand to hand ? are they using magic ? do I have magic ? do we get to have weapons (can I take my baseball bat with me) ?

let's go - hand to hand, no weapons, no magic control (so they can't just freeze me) but yes to magic attacks.

I could easily take on isaac, jekyll, and Arthur. Isaac and jekkyl are canon wimps & yes, Arthur has knight armour, but he doesn't wear his helmet. I could line up a few hooks and uppercuts and knock him the fuck out.

without his magic, rumple is an easy take BUT with his magic it's a bit tricky. if I manage to tackle him to the ground before he can magic choke me, I think I've got him down.

as you said, pan is a scrawny teen, BUT he uses his magic well and is good at mind games and manipulation (getting into your opponents head is the quickest way to win a fight). he's also quick and nimble, so unless I surprise him, I don't think I could take him.

Although he can fight well, I could take on Hook. Knowing him, he'd probably wink at me and let me hit him. only s2 hook tho, later him is too smitten with Emma and I'd let dark!hook choke me.

I wouldn't touch Hades (as. much as i would love to punch his face, he's still a god), Hyde (too big), Cruella (fights too dirty), and honestly, Maleficent (she handles her magic well + dragon).

if we were to simply do a box match, I'm afraid I'd be out of everyone's category weight wise, so it would be unfair.

magic users are tricky because they can often depend on their magic too much (and hinder themselves), but magic itself is very OP if used right.

so yea, TLDR - I think I could punt isaac, jekyll & arthur into the ground.
