LOL Oh, you just wait!

Things that the fucking OUAT show looked me in the eyes and dared to tell me:

Cinderella peppersprayed Rumplestiltskin when she broke into his house. Prior to this he had exploded her fairy godmother.

Jiminy Cricket accidentally turned Gepetto's parents into puppets (it's only an accident because he was trying to kill his own parents)

The Evil Queen adopted her step-greatgrandchild and named him after her father. The Evil Queen, her stepdaughter, and her stepgranddaughter are all the same age.

And this is literally just the first five episodes

TMI Tuesday

Hey Tumblr Friends, it's been a while. I guess that's what "promotion", an insane job, and general busy-iness will do to a gal. Now though, summer's here, a reader on AO3 is motivating me, and the fact that I miss all you lovely, crazy Rumbellers, Tolkien Peeps, Foundations & Empire loyalists, and many beings of the Pegasus, and Trek galaxies; those undercover agents, and Machiavellian manipulators, and deep desert dwellers alike - and if I missed anyone, it just shows how long it's been, right?

Still, 'summer's here, and the time is right,' as the song goes, so... go ahead and throw some questions my way, and I'll see if I can't find some answers, and maybe a little time to write and update those fics that have been languishing in my WIP box.

(Brownie points for identifying my less obvious fandoms).

You can find my inbox here.

I couldn't stop - also crying with laughter.

Apparently my director went to see a production of West Side Story a few years ago, and the guy playing Chino forgot his gun before coming out for his final scene. Once it got to the big scene where he is supposed to shoot Tony, he screeched “Poison Boots” and kicked the actor playing Tony until he went down. The girl playing Maria then had to jerk the shoe off of Chino’s foot, and had to do the gunshot scene asking “How many kicks Chino? How many kicks, and one kick left for me”.

Absolutely this!

so hey are we ever going to talk about the fact that the blue fairy told tink not to help regina just bc she was cora's daughter & was learning magic LIKE SHE DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING AT THAT POINT!!! SHE WAS LIKE 18 AND HER BOYFRIEND DIED AND SHE HAD TO MARRY THIS 40 YEAR OLD DUDE!!! like yeah it fucking sucks that she blamed snow but she was displacing that anger from her mom literally KILLING DANIEL IN FRONT OF HER.

the blue fairy has always been a bitch and honestly if more people were on regina's side back in the day, if she had a genuine fucking support system she never would have gone evil. like blue was so wrong for taking that choice away from regina. evil is allowed to spread because people like the blue fairy just fights it when it comes instead of addressing the systemic problem--cora wanted power and didn't hesitate to manipulate regina for it. rumple became the dark one because the king was drafting children into war. address those issues first so desperate people don't have to resort to violent acts!!

I use them if the occasion calls for it. I use en dashes too...

"If you use em dash in your works, it makes them look AI generated. No real human uses em dash."

Imaging thinking actual human writers are Not Real because they use... professional writing in their works.

Imagine thinking millions of people who have been using em dash way before AI becomes a thing are all robots.

REBLOG IF YOU'RE A HUMAN AND YOU USE EM DASH

Fifty years ago, humanity sent a radio tracking beacon through a wormhole as a test. When we couldn't locate it, we assumed wormholes weren't safe. Today, it came back through—with a note taped onto it.
