I will NEVER not reblog this. ONE OF THE BEST SNL SKITS THEY HAVE EVER DONE!!!
As someone who hates wrapping presents, I found this really helpful
reblog to save a life (and some paper)
AU where there are two Emmas and two Killians; Princess Emma and her darker doppelgänger; Captain Killian Jones and the dark prince Killian... or if it doesn’t make sense what I’m trying to say, look at it as if they took the serum from Dr. Jekyll in an alternate S6

Super new cover by the great J Scott Campbell!
I don't think Colin is ever going to be muscle-bound and hard-bodied like Chris Evans, but I'm sort-of convinced he does have a six-pack? Like one of those soft ones? Where you can see them, but it's soft and doesn't look like hard muscle? I'm don't think I'm describing my thoughts properly here. :/
BLESS YOU, Nonny. I love you and your words XD You’re adorable :D
I do get what you’re saying, and it might even be the case… Although I don’t think we’ve ever really gotten a clear enough or close enough shot of Colin’s abs to really determine if that’s the case or not. More science is needed!!!
…and boy, do I love this kind of science :D
What’s that? Science? And did I hear Chris Evans, too? OH BOY.
So I know this has already been discussed but this is one of my bat signals so…hope you don’t mind talking about it some more ;)
As has been established, guys on movie sets (especially superhero/action films) do NOT look like this 24/7:
(YOU GRAB THAT TIDDY, HAYLEY) (and yes it was Hayley she even said so dont @ me)
To get that look, they need to be working out constantly as well as be dehydrated to some extent. Which obviously isn’t healthy or sustainable.
But then you have Chris Evans in Red Sea Diving Resort:

Same dude, same muscles, just…a LOT healthier looking. (And oh my god that hair.)
So it’s pretty easy to look at those and see some similarities with these:
(source)
(source) (shout-out to @pirateherokillian for her research assistance with both of these)
It’s pretty clear, especially from the close up shot, that Colin is no slouch when it comes to keeping in shape, and we’ve all seen the stuff on social media with various workout/health people. But he’s HEALTHY. He’s not a gym rat but he’s very much in shape and has a kind of practical strength about him—those muscles are for daily life, not for show.
I suck at conclusions but I guess what I’m trying to say is that not even Chris Evans is that hard-bodied and I would gladly cuddle up with either dude if presented the opportunity don’t tell my husband
Honestly, Hollywood has completely twisted the meaning of “in shape”, especially for men, and especially over the past few years. The Captain America look is not sustainable. Even bodybuilders, whose entire thing is looking like that, don’t look like that all the time. They dehydrate and starve themselves before competitions to look their “best”. It’s not physically possible to look like that all the time. Captain America does, but Chris Evans doesn’t.
You don’t look like Colin without working out. He’s clearly in shape. He’s got muscles. You don’t carry your costars around and run around in a 50-pound coat if you aren’t in shape. (My training gear weighs maybe 6-7 pounds, and let me tell you, I feel that weight.) Of course he’s got abs. He’s got core strength. It’d be weird if he didn’t.
Jason Momoa got shamed a while back for “letting himself go” when he looked fantastic. He just didn’t look like Aquaman. Because trying to look like that 24/7 would land him in the hospital. It’s fine for Aquaman, he’s fictional, he can look however you want him to look. But real people are limited by the fact that the human body needs food and water and rest.
Also: six-pack or not, if you’re not flexing, it’s invisible. I’ll never forget the moment in self defence where one of the guys demonstrated where the abs muscles are. Took his shirt off, and nothing… then he flexed, and suddenly boom, perfect six-pack. So all those shots and photos of guys with perfect six-packs, that’s what they look like hungry, dehydrated, and flexing. NOT if they just stand there.
ALSO: bodies are different. Some people will always have back fat, others will always have a little belly, others will always have cellulite. Some women can eat a perfect diet and run to the gym and they’ll never have a slim waist. Some people build muscle quickly, others very slowly. That’s just how it goes.
I’ll be honest, I don’t really care either way how in shape or not anyone is. I just think it’s gotten absolutely ridiculous how much it takes to be considered “in shape” on film or TV. And I don’t think people realise just how much work it takes to look like Cap, and how time-consuming and difficult and probably miserable it is.
I love these replies, and the people who made them, and all of their thoughts and I especially love Colin and every single beautiful part of him <3
This is such a beautiful post and i’m so proud of all of you
Just Rewatched the OUAT Series Finale
…and I have questions. Soooooo many questions. About the timeline. About the governance of the new united realms. About the implications of time travel to the time space continuum. About geography. About where exactly the dwarf’s go with their pickaxes every day and what kind of sandwhiches Granny makes them. About past versions of people meeting present versions of themselves and what that means for the future. About how in any realm Rumple deserved a happy ending….
My brain hurts.
I completely agree. How is it the time space continuum didn't completely implode?

365 Days of Captain Swan [Day 127]
How I Wrote A Novel.
This, in a nutshell, is what I did to get a book with my name on it.
NOTE: This is just my personal way of making the words go. Other people have different ways to make their words go. In the world of words, there are no right answers. There’s just lots and lots of tea/coffee/tear stains.
1). The Idea
When I get an idea for a story, I open up a document, label it “Brainstorming,” and start making a bullet list of events that consist of the plot.
It has to be an idea with tangible weight. A stray bit of dialogue or something vague like Halloween, that doesn’t give me much to work off of. Halloween creatures living on the same street where it’s Autumn every day- now that’s something I can build from.
What kinds of creatures are they? What do they do? What do their houses look like? The best ideas are the ones that spark more.
2). First Draft
This is the easy part- and the most challenging. Easy, because there’s literally no bar. I just sat there and typed. But it’s a huge mental challenge.
When I was in first draft mode, I wanted that story out. I thought that by making it such a rough, far-away version from the concept in my head, I was only delaying the day where I’d hold it in my hands. Turns out, that’s what got it to take on physical form in the first place. So I quieted down, grabbed my laptop and some hot tea, and typed.
3). Dissecting the First Draft
After I finished draft one, I printed it all off and highlighted the scant amounts that were passable for the next phase. Dialogue, descriptions, setting- anything that didn’t look like it was up to par was scratched out and omitted.
I call the above pictures A Slow Descent Into Madness.
4). The Second Draft
On a fresh document, I rewrote the story altogether- and it make a difference. I was coming up with things I hadn’t even thought of previously. And it was surprising how much better the plot was than the first time around. But it was still rough.
5). Draft Three
My method was to start with the bigger, more obvious issues and work my way down. Any plot holes I found were noted, and my outline was constantly under revision. I cut out entire scenes and made mental notes on ways they could be fixed/replaced.
This is where I started cutting chapters in half to make the story flow better- but I didn’t bother writing in usable chapter titles. Instead, I improvised:
6). Drafts Four and Five
These were dedicated to correcting the smaller, less obvious plot holes. This was the point where the story finally started to look close to what would become the final version.
7). Drafts Seven Onward
With the story line looking how I wanted, I then moved on to sentence structure. That one song that looked terrible? Rewritten. Over-the-top descriptions and excessive prose? Gone.
8). Editing and Proofing
This is where I had outside help. Besides this useful tool, I had two people check for spelling issues and the overall story. Once it was in decent shape to be made public, I asked for some additional help.
9). Betas
My betas were in the age range that my novel was geared toward, along with a couple of teachers and parents (as it was middle grade). I gave them the full manuscript, along with seven basic questions like “Which characters were your favorite/least favorite and why?” and “Was there a part of the story that didn’t make sense?”
I gave my betas three months to read a 42,590 word story, and by the end they gave me back the review sheets.
10). Final Adjustments
After I read over the reviews, I let the comments sit for three days so that I could proceed with a clear head. I smoothed out any flaws, scanned over the MS twice to make sure everything was right, and that is how I got to the end of writing my first novel.
Next comes publishing- which is a different beast entirely.
For future reference. Wow, what a comprehensive post.
This is glorious.
WRITER FRIENDS! PAY ATTENTION TO THE TOOL IN #8!!! SUPER EASY TO USE AND MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
I have a question, what is the exact name of the app? I ask because when I enter Hemingway app in Google Play Store I get a whole host of other apps as well...
