𝐀 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐃𝐘 𝐈𝐍: a pirate's life, the burden of the chosen one, a villain's descent into hell, the archetype of hope and the archetype of destruction.

RULES.

no drama. i've been writing on tumblr for years now, and i've only come across truly awful people a handful of times. i have a pretty good eye for weird, toxic people so don't try it with me. treat me with a hint of professionalism or leave me alone. i'm here to write for fun. keep the weird, manipulative, possessive freak behaviors to yourself.

i love to plot! i have a lot of ideas for these two that i haven't written down yet and plan to as the months go by, but until then, feel free to throw an idea at me! i really, really love to plot. cannot state that enough. likely to prioritize those threads over random memes or random starters, but those are welcome too!

i love to ship! controversially, i write killian as straight (not emma). please keep that in mind. i love captain swan, i love neal and emma, and many more potential ships i'd be willing to try out (emma and regina being one of them).

i also love in character drama. i actually tend to prefer angst. because this blog leans towards hbo-style themes, i would love to explore the more dark elements of fairytales and the reality that is planet earth. would also love some dark enchanted forest or fantasy plots! to me, fluff is earned lolol

more rules to come? dno. just don't cause drama and we're chilling. last thought is: i've had experiences with people trying to change how villainous i lean into certain verses for certain characters. whether or not it was intentional, they wanted me to act like their muse is an exception. if i'm feeling like writing a villainous captain hook, please let me do so without feeling pressure to change him. thank you.

[slackwaters]

so so sorry about my spotty activity! promise i'll be on more VERY shortly. work is just kicking my butt this week, but there's a three day weekend this week!

[oldwinesoul]

PROMPTS FOR ANGSTY CONVERSATIONS *  a collection of things you never want to hear

you never told me that. i can't believe you never told me.

what difference does it make?

no, no, no, don't leave me! please!

i failed you. is that what you want me to say?

was it all a lie? all this time?

so... when do you leave? what time? so i can be ready.

why did it take you so long to tell me? how long have you been holding this in?

i was wrong.

is this it? is this all there is?

at least give me one last dance.

all the exits are blocked. we're trapped.

there's too much blood.

you're the worst person i've ever met.

you're just as broken as i am.

i really thought we could work things out.

so stupid of me to think you actually cared.

you're just going to carry on and pretend like everything's fine when it's not fine.

go on without me. i can handle this.

don't tell me i'm too late.

i told you to leave me alone.

there's no use in trying anymore. it's over.

i should have known. i should have known all along.

i need you to be honest with me. tell me the truth. i deserve the truth.

you failed me.

i wish i never met you.

it's over. go home.

i feel something broken inside me. you can't fix it. no one can.

just take some deep breaths. in and out. you're gonna be fine.

you used to be better than this.

there's no way out.

what the hell was that for?

if you stay here, you'll die. do you understand?

how dare you speak to me like that!

am i too late?

you have to believe me. i didn't mean for this to happen.

i used to think you were perfect. i guess i was wrong.

so this is how it ends? just like that?

we're running out of time.

when were you going to tell me the truth?

how long has it been since we spoke? feels like years.

when did this start? how long has this been going on?

you never really loved me. it was all fake.

who was that? why were they here? why did you let them in?

i came as fast as i could.

what the hell did you think would happen?

can i even trust you?

i don't know who i am anymore.

i can't lose you again.

you are my biggest regret.

what good will it do?

just keep pressure on the wound, okay?

how could you do this to me?

i said get out! get out of here!

i'm never speaking to you again.

i tried to stop it!

you're so fucking stupid.

it's never been okay.

good riddance.

get out of here! i'll handle this!

i can't believe you. i can't believe you did this to me.

you were a good person once. i looked up to you.

i never should have listened to you. i'm such a fool.

don't lie to me! i know when you're lying!

why the hell did you do that?

i've never been wanted. not really. not by anyone.

i never loved you.

i've been dealing with this my whole life.

it was all a lie.

you forgot my birthday.

i'm a monster.

you actually believed that shit?

you think i would just stick around and let you treat me like that?

are you actually leaving?

can i kiss you one last time?

i can't believe i gave up my life for you. i gave up everything for you.

i can't lose you, too!

for what it's worth, there's no one i would rather fight alongside.

hang on for me, all right? don't leave me. please don't go.

i deserve better than this. i deserve better than you.

good! get out of here! i didn't want you here anyway!

i made it up as i went along.

things are going to get worse before they get better.

i don't think we're getting out of this alive.

we're not gonna make it.

get the fuck out of my face.

i don't think i'm meant to be loved.

PROMPTS FOR LIES, DECEIT, AND SOME VILLAINY *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

would i lie to you?

i've never lied, not even once.

that sounds like a you problem.

you believe me, don't you?

i always get what i want.

i've never led you astray.

you promised you'd let them go.

i'm not playing around any longer.

hand it over. i know you have it.

we can do this the easy way... or the hard way.

have i ever let you down before?

you can trust me.

you were lying the whole time.

you're the reason they're dead.

i've got no reason to lie.

you double-crossed me.

you spat on my kindness. now face my wrath.

that wasn't a very good lie.

i never should have believed you.

i thought you told me everything.

you lied to my face.

well. i lied. good luck with that.

why did you keep this from me?

you should have listened to me when you had the chance.

i honestly thought i could trust you.

the plan is working.

how dare you say that to me.

you know me. i would never lie about something like this.

please, you have to believe me!

i'm telling the truth, i swear!

i told you everything i know!

you gotta believe me!

you're a traitor.

you're just going to leave me here?

had you only listened to me... none of this would have happened.

that's all there was! i swear!

you turned me into this monster.

prove it to me.

what's behind your back?

tell me everything you know.

if you don't tell me the truth, i swear...

that's the last of it! i promise!

you're going to die down there.

ah, ah, ah... it's not that simple.

don't ever cross me again.

you could have just told me the truth.

look what your lie has done.

this is all your fault.

i gave you what you wanted! let me go!

you fell into my trap!

i gave you a chance, and you squandered it.

i blame you for everything.

look at what you've done.

you failed. accept it.

i shouldn't trust you. not after what you did.

you betrayed me.

i'll never look at you the same way.

you won't get away with this.

you're a horrible liar.

not so fast!

i don't believe a word of what you just said.

that's a lie and you know it.

give me what i want, or your friends are dead.

now i feel like a fool for trusting you.

now look what you've done.

over my dead body!

you didn't think it'd be that easy, now did you?

[mcflymemes]

PROMPTS FOR THE BUDDING ROMANCE *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

i never thought something like this could happen to me.

when they said you were hurt... i've never been so afraid in my whole life.

i almost lost you.

you are the most special person i have ever met.

are you blushing? did i make you blush?

here, take my jacket. you're shivering.

i don't know how to function around you. i struggle with words.

you have an easy way of making me feel breathless.

you have no idea what you do to me.

i've never met anyone like you before.

you've been a great friend to me. better than a friend. someone i can turn to in my darkest times.

next time, warn me when you pull a stunt like that. i want to be with you.

i don't know where i'd be without you.

you came right when i needed you.

i was just thinking about you, and here you are.

i had a dream about you.

i've tried seeing other people... but they're not you. they're not who i want.

i'll protect you. i promise.

i haven't taken my eyes off you since you walked in.

this is new for me. feeling like this.

i'm sorry. i just had to see you.

you mean absolutely everything to me.

is this what happens when you fall in love?

do you feel the same way about me?

i thought i could handle seeing you with someone else, but i was wrong.

i don't know what to say. you make me forget how to speak.

you make my head spin.

do that again. that was cute.

i couldn't wait around anymore. i have to tell you how i feel.

stop! you're making me blush!

i've never felt anything like this before.

go easy on my heart. please.

my heart has been broken so many times in the past... but you won't hurt me, right? i can trust you.

you're very distracting, you know.

was that flirting? were you just flirting with me?

you're different. you're not what i'm used to.

you can keep holding my hand, you know. you don't have to let go.

i like it when you held onto me. that was nice.

this stopped being a fling a while ago.

everything changed for me last week.

when i saw you with someone else... it broke me.

could you see yourself with me?

i wish i had the strength to tell you how i feel.

i could be your date.

what if i asked you out?

i've been flirting with you this whole time.

this doesn't have to be a date if you don't want it to be.

we could... try. see what happens.

meeting you was the greatest thing that ever happened to me.

sorry, what did you say? i wasn't listening. i was... distracted.

i came as fast as i could. they said you needed me.

just stand behind me. i'll protect you.

you are... so infuriating. you know that, right?

i know what i said before... but i was wrong. about everything.

maybe we could try again?

you mumbled my name in your sleep again.

TV Appreciation Week '25 Day 5 : favorite season of tv | ONCE UPON A TIME SEASON 1

What do you think stories are for? These stories, the classics... there's a reason we all know them. They're a way for us to deal with our world - a world that doesn't always make sense.
