Need $75 for my bills!

I know I keep making these posts and times are tough for people right now, but I'm hoping for a bit of help!

Normally my roommate gives me a heads up about the bills so I can send him a bit each week with my paychecks, but he didn't and they're due today/in a couple of days.

Anyway, I just need $75 for my half of my bills so PLEASE if a few different people can help me out with $20 or $30 each that'd help me out tremendously as I don't have that much extra money just lying around.

If you can't help this way, I understand but even reblogs/signal boosts would help me!

If ya'll can't help, I understand but even reblogs/signal boosts help this get seen by more people.

Is there a compilation of all the toxic Hook/CS scenes?

I have no idea. Youtube is the place I would check for something like that. But to my knowledge there isn’t one that I’ve seen here on tumblr. 

[anticraptainswan]

Do you or anyone following this blog have the gif of the scene where hook tries to hold emmas hand and she snatches it away? pls i need this for a good laugh

Ooooooh I know the gif you’re talking about but I don’t have it. I’ll post and see if anyone else does. Maybe just check the notes often to see if anyone has/posts it? This blog is obviously not all that active since the show is over but you never know! Someone might have it!

Any followers have the gif nonnie is talking about?

Why Women Kill Adds Lana Parrilla, Shadowhunters Vet to Season 2 Cast

Lana Parrilla has booked a new TV role, and this one is much less wicked than the last. The Once Upon a Time alum is among four additions to Why Women Kill’s Season 2 cast, TVLine has learned…

Attention Evil Queen Lana fans..... 

Incidentally Ginny Goodwin was in S1 if you haven’t seen it! Good show! But this season is different setup, etc. (think like... American Horror Story in terms of same idea, but new concept every season)

There are other/better actresses who exist. —> AMEN! Ones who don’t have acting skills like a cardboard cutout

I SNORTED. 

[anticraptainswan]

I once spoke about Colin being cast in a Thorn Birds remake and a CS obsessive said JMo should play the female. I let out a deep groan. The whole conversation was ruined after that.

I have no idea what that is so I can’t speak for casting but it does get tiring after awhile. 

Like... There are other/better actresses who exist. And they don’t paw at Colin like a cat in heat either. 

[anticraptainswan]

It makes me sad that many fans don't have the imagination to see him as anything other than JMo's boyfriend/husband. For the rest of his life they're going to demand JMo be his significant other and want to replace any actress who gets the job with her.

If by sad you mean pathetic..... Then I agree. Lol. 

It’s pathetic that they can’t just... Move on and let him flex his acting talents with other on screen partners.

anon, thanks for this. I’ve had a rough couple of days so waking up to this in my inbox was needed. ---> Glad I could brighten your day in some way [HUG]. And I am sure if we got in person promotion for the show, she wouldn't have clung to him or said "Oh, Colin" followed up by a dreamy sigh. So glad he's far away from JMo.

I also find it highly amusing that when Colin was first announced for the show... CSers/Colifers demanded JMO play his wife.

B/c they have a very difficult marriage (and eventually divorce after all of this) in history. So it’s not like they would have gotten domestic, happy CS AU moments. 

[anticraptainswan]

It’s nice that Colin’s new TV wife, Eloise, seems to have tact. What a breath of fresh air to not see her fawning over a married man like she has a Jr High crush.

LOLOLOLOLOL 

anon, thanks for this. I’ve had a rough couple of days so waking up to this in my inbox was needed. 

Anyway, I agree. I especially loved her comment on the Disney+ pic of him as Gordon and Hook where it said “We’re Hooked on Colin O’Donoghue’ and she responded ‘Me too’. It made me giggle. It was funny but not a creepy response to make. Just complimenting her co-star in a normal way.

The Right Stuff's Colin O'Donoghue and Jake McDorman Tease a Less Glamorized Look at America's First Astronauts | TV Guide

"They are hard-drinking, fast-driving, living on the cutting edge all the time guys," said Jack McDorman

I’m finding it hilariously ironic that when Colin’s casting was first announced.... CSers/Colifers were all: “Cast JMO as his wife!” wanting domestic CS in their fantasies.... 

But in reality..... Gordon is having marriage troubles and they end up officially divorced afterwards. And that it’s portrayed in the series apparently. *snickers*

[anticraptainswan]

Also, sort of random but... If you guys hear news about any of the OUAT cast that you love with upcoming projects (Sorry not JMO though) that you think others want to know about, drop me a line and I’ll put it here!

I often feel like a lot of the cast as a whole didn’t get the recognition they deserve so I’d love to hear more about them! I simply haven’t really heard about anyone other than Colin lately is all. 

[anticraptainswan]

Hey guys! Friendly reminder that Colin’s new National Geographic show, The Right Stuff premieres on Disney+ this Friday! He plays astronaut Gordon Cooper! I’m a big history buff so this whole series sounds really good!

25 TV Characters Who Deserved Better

Life isn’t always fair, even on television — just ask these 25 beloved characters.

Neal Cassidy, Once Upon A Time

Poor Neal. Not only was he saddled with a most unflattering backstory in which, at August/Pinocchio’s behest, he let a teenage Emma take the lone rap for a robbery (and thus wind up behind bars, pregnant!), but when he years later resurfaced in Emma’s life he barely got a fair shake. That in turn deprived viewers of what could have been a gripping love triangle between him, Emma and Hook, before he gave his life to save his Dark One dad.

[anticraptainswan]

In case ya’ll weren’t aware..... 

All seasons of OUAT is coming to Disney+ next Friday (September 11th) for those of ya’ll who still love to watch/rewatch the show.

[anticraptainswan]

I remembered I still hate Captain Swan lol. But years later with more knowledge of storytelling, what strikes me is how the show went with CS but undercut them a lot, told and rarely showed, refused to give them a TLK kiss though that should've been an easy choice etcetera. IMO there were competing forces with ABC execs and that writers' room. Very obvious now to see the mandate after seeing it happen in other shows too.

Honestly, I don’t think it was any kind of competing forces. 

I think it was just proof of how BAD of writers they were on the show and that’s it. 

B/c I’ve seen other shows start off a ship on a show and then they give it up when they see they have a better ship(s) as another option(s). 

The writers COULD have done that if they truly knew CS was a boring or bad they could have not done it. They weren’t obligated to ABC over a ship that wasn’t fairytale canon in the films or books they were pulling from.

The writers were just stupid imo. 

[anticraptainswan]

Hi I just need to vent and I’m glad this blog exists. Because even though the show is over I keep liking screen caps on Instagram and on my suggestion today I saw a picture of CS and all those memories of how they ruined Emma and even Hook, came back. Gosh what a train wreck! I don’t even know where or how to find peace with what they did to the show.

Hi there! Sorry for taking so long to get to the asks in my inbox. It’s been a helluva year overall (thanks 2020) and other stuff I was going through personally. 

Anyway....

I’m so glad that you’re glad this blog exists!

I hate that the show had so much potential for all the characters and then they just.... Ruined everything. As I said before, Hook as a character especially had potential but they ruined him for what.... A poorly written ship, whom he had zero chemistry with? (which I find ironic since Colin seemed to have chemistry with literally everyone else on the show) 

[anticraptainswan]

(1) I find it very telling that most the arguments against hook/CS are responded with “but this character/ship...” or “you’re a hypocrite, you like...” If we say Hook is a bad stepdad they say Regina and Rumple are worse parents. If we say CS is unhealthy they say rumbelle, sq, oq, or sf are unhealthier. If we say Hook took up too much screen time they say Regina took up more. I could go on all day. That’s the Tu Quoque fallacy. Even if everyone who hate hook/cs was a big hypocrite that wouldn’t

(part 2) and I got attacked for it by them. I wasn't hating on the ship and thought I was pretty respectful to it even tho I'm not really a fan! Apparently it's "upsetting" to see this minor ship in their tag with thousands of fics and to claim CS aren't TL even though that's just my opinion! What's upsetting is being told you're awful and being hated on for tagging their ship and claiming they're not TL. They're the most spiteful of fandoms and I loathe that I used to ship CS

Guess who’s finally cleaning out this inbox after a stressful summer for me.

Look, I LOVED the idea/concept of Hook when he was first introduced. I LOVE a good grey area character/villain. He could have been SUCH an interesting character if they kept him as a morally ambiguous pirate character who was more of an anti hero. 

But instead, the writers just ignored all the bad he did and pretended he was some pure and noble hero the whole time which is just lazy writing. 

To me, that’s what MADE Regina and Rumple more interesting as characters. They had layers. They weren’t perfect on their road to redemption and that’s what made them feel more real. They had setbacks in their development as heroes, etc. 

Hook’s redemption was just straight up ignored and that still pisses me off. 

And CS/Hook fans calling people hypocrites for enjoying Regina or Rumple just shows their poor taste in well written characters.
