AU: but, okay, I really need to know if it's time to try defying gravity. I think I'll try defying gravity, and you can't hold me down...

Uh... I’m sorry, nonnie? Is there something I’m not understanding?

[askwickedzelena-blog]

Au: Zelena how are you holding up in that cell of yours? I've brought you some chocolate and food to help you. Don't worry. I'll get you out of there

Umm... thank you, nonnie, that’s very thoughtful of you. I really do appreciate it, I do seem to have this odd desire for chocolate. I don’t understand why I’m locked here. What is this place, even? What are these vitamins? Oh, is that a stuffed flying monkey?

(Au) It's not easy being green!!!!!!!111one

I’m... so sorry? I’m afraid I don’t understand. At all.

AU Activity, Weeks of August 10 & 17: Amnesia aka. Tabula Rasa

[askwickedzelena-blog]

ask-once:

It’s time for a new AU activity! For this AU, which our group has started to refer to as Tabula Rasa in homage to a “Buffy” episode, all of our characters wake up with no memories of who they are, their friendships and romantic relationships with each other, and even their memories of magic (although those with magical abilities in canon may still have it - and perhaps will be surprised by it)! In this AU, everyone can decide their own fate, destiny, and who they choose to spend time with (or even be with romantically). Although this AU will allow everyone to have a lot of freedom, it’s suggested that characters keep some of their “real” personality and a few key traits and interests. Even if our characters don’t remember who they are, your audience/visitors should still generally recognize their “voice.”

Important: Characters should be aware that parent-child and familial relationships remain the same (so Cora is still Regina’s mom, Regina and Zelena are sisters, Regina and Emma are Henry’s moms, etc.). Characters should be engaged in age-appropriate activities. Henry and Wendy, for instance, can’t fall in love with anyone outside of their age group or drive a car, etc. Characters might forget who they are, but they’re still going to live by normal rules! Or at least, rules that are “normal” for Storybrooke.

// ALL CHARACTERS RETURN TO STORYBROOKE. CHARACTERS RETURN FROM THE DEAD.

Z will be participating in this activity, with her memory wiped and all! As a reminder, she’s in a mental hospital in a cell, so she’ll be thinking she’s crazy. Please preface AU questions with AU! They will be tagged AU: Tabula Rasa

[askloveisweakness-deactivated20]

(AU) So... they were right. You lied to me all along. When Isaac said he was removing your ability to do memory charms, I allowed it, because I had such faith that you didn't use them anyway.

Zelena, my dear… I’m afraid I do not have time for this right now. Thanks to your author friend, I’ve lost more than just my ability to do memory charms. I’ve lost my edge on two of the most terrible villains in history. Things are about to get far worse than they ever were, very soon, unless I think fast.

I did what I had to do, my love, to keep you safe. To protect this land and see to it that your child grows up in a world free of torture and betrayal. If you can’t accept that, then step aside… because I will continue to do what it takes to defend our family until my last breath.

(( OOC Notice for people seeing this out of context-ish in the tags: This is for an AU event, where moralities are switched and Cora considers herself to be a “good guy”. We have a whole big story going on, and after almost two weeks of terrorizing the “villains”, things seem to be going downhill for Cora. The only hero actually doing anything to stop the villains. Yippee. :P ))

[askwickedzelena-blog]

Step... aside? What do you mean, step aside? All my life you've taught me to do everything that it takes to defend goodness, and what you're doing, mother, is not defending goodness. You're... taking hearts, you're doing memory charms. That's not the way to deal with villains. We have to show kindness to them if they're ever to redeem!

Mother, I can't step aside and let you do what I feel is morally wrong. It would go against everything you've taught me. I... I have magic, mother. You know that.

ouat s4 meme: {1/1} villain              ↳Zelena Mills: “Look at the magic in this world, Rumple. Hmm? A tube that breathes for you. My, your predicament does look painful. You know, there’s a time I would have relished this. And with your vendetta against me for the death of your son… wow. That would make this a strong practical choice.”

[askloveisweakness-deactivated20]

(AU) Mother, I feel like everyone is lying around me and I don't know what's going on. I've heard rumors of hearts being stolen.

My dear Zelena… pay no mind to the rabble. It’s unfortunate that we live in a world where we are surrounded by villainous, horrible people. Snow, her prince, the pirate, that Arendelle princess… They’re all too steeped in the darkness, and we don’t have many allies fighting for good.

You, my dear, are one of the few left who isn’t out torturing or trying to eat the commonfolk. They’re trying to sway you, to drag you down to their level like they did Regina. Don’t let them do that.

I’m doing what needs to be done, for the good of the realm and everyone in it.

(( OOC Notice: This is for an AU event, moralities are switched, Cora and Zelena consider themselves “good guys”, almost everyone else is “bad”, etc! ))

[askwickedzelena-blog]

What “needs to be done”, mother? Surely we have to incapacitate the villains, but not in a cruel manner.I believe that villains should be helped and… well, some methods that I’ve heard circling around, such as ripping out hearts, isn’t exactly the solution that I have in mind.

But you would never do that, right, mother? You don’t rip hearts out anymore? Not now or ever?

I won’t let them sway me, mother. I’ll never turn to the wickedness threatening at every corer because you taught me not to.

[askloveisweakness-deactivated20]

You let me worry about what needs to be done. You have a baby to take care of and worry about, and I’d like to see that baby as pure and good as you.

I can assure you, whatever cruelties those villains endure is far less than they’ve inflicted on others. Leffy’s policy of… baking cakes with fake sugar is not the way to bring peace to our land, a lesson I learned a long time ago.

[askwickedzelena-blog]

...right. Of course. I mean, I was just hoping that for once, maybe you’d tell me what you really meant. I’m pregnant, not helpless. And even before I was pregnant, I’m beginning to feel as if you never told me anything.

Hmm. Cruelties, you say? So you are inflicting some kind of cruelty on those villains?

[askwickedzelena-blog]

I think you would look really pretty in green. (AU)

It’s funny, lots of nonnies have told me that. But I think… it would be awful to be green!

[askwickedzelena-blog]

(AU) how would you react if you felt like somebody was taking over with ease something you worked hard to get (hypothetically)

You know, when I really think abut it, I think I’d be upset if they were taking something from me. But if they just earned it for themselves, no matter what the circumstances are, I’d be okay with that. Because, you know, everyone has different talents. Maybe they earned something with more ease because of their skills, but I can succeed elsewhere.

Is it better for a ruler to be feared or loved? (AU)

Loved, most certainly. What good is it to be a ruler at all if you’re feared? I wouldn’t want to be one if that was the case. Love is the way to go.

[askwickedzelena-blog]

Do you think things can ever be the same between you and Regina (AU)

I don’t know, nonnie. I really, really hope so. But I understand that my mother’s hurt her and it’ take time for her to warm up to us. It’s not entirely my mother’s fault, of course. I should have known she was upset, I should have comforted her. I’m really sorry I didn’t do any of that.

[askwickedzelena-blog]

(AU) Be careful with Anna,she’s not as sweet as she seems.

Yes, thank you so much, nonnie. I know that now.

It’s so sad, isn’t it?

[askloveisweakness-deactivated20]

[askwickedzelena-blog]

(Au) But it's the truth!! CORA IS A MONSTER AND MUST BE STOPPED. I think she well may be a SINnamon roll. You think she is inocent and good, but she is made of magic, madness and sin. No heaven. SIN. SINNAMON ROLL. No cinnamon. SINNAMON.

I understand my mother has made mistakes, nonnie, but I don’t think she’s made of madness and sin. Magic, yes, but magic can be good! How I wish I could tell everyone that. Maybe they wouldn’t be so fearful...

But my mother has never ripped out a hero’s heart. She doesn’t collect hearts anymore. And while I don’t agree that she did in the past, she’s not like that anymore.

...I dearly hope.
