Friendly reminder that Lana fucking improvised this scene (Regina sitting on Emma's desk) and what we see here is JMo's real reaction, not Emma's 😌

"How eagerly the mind accepts a pattern of existence, and how tenaciously it clings to it! As by a driven nail, the mind is held together by idea, and around the idea it lives and has its being. The mind is never free, pliable, for it is always anchored; it moves within the radius, narrow or wide, of its own centre." J. Krishnamurti

“who hurt you, babe? he whispers as the cold metal is pressed against my chest, my heart more still than it had ever been before. who hurt you? he repeats, but my lips are dry and pressed together as if i’d never uttered a single word. he presses on, the blade now ripping the button out of my shirt, as if warning me to just give in. here we are, my body melting into his as we stand in the quiet room, and his devilish grin shouldn’t be so easy to fall for. he wants me to say the words, but my mouth is clammed up and there is nothing in this world that i’d rather do less and so, i let my heart syncopate with the rhythm of the buttons being ripped out of my shirt, and then i stop. time, space, him. i hurt myself, i say, because i hoped for more than i was ever given. he looks at me as if he sees a different person. my hand takes the knife out of his grasp. he brands my lips with the stain of him, because he knows i’m empty. i’m the one holding the blade now. and the universe agrees.”
