I got behind and only just caught up on season 8a - the Abby+Tommy of it all had me on. the. floor. Like the way my jaw dropped 😭

I find twists like that super satisfying but I completely missed what everyone else thought bc I was trying to avoid spoilers (pretty surprised I managed to avoid seeing that one) - what did you think of that reveal initially? and then, what do you think now (especially with the way bucktommy situation is currently)?

hi hi ty for sending this!! my jaw was on the floor too when i saw it in the episode, and after the shock wore off i was mad about it, because it's SUCH a retcon of s1 canon and makes all the characters look stupid. like first of all abby's tommy was her *boyfriend* not her fiance of two years, and then there's the whole what was the point of tommy about to marry a woman if he's not going to bring her around the 118 and go by dispatch and sell the lie that he's trying to make himself believe??? it's also so pointless in the show because if they did want to make the abbytommy of it all believable, they could've at least stuck to their own canon and made tommy simply abby's boyfriend briefly, because that doesn't change anything about how they used the abbytommy reveal to pull apart bucktommy. so in canon i hate it bc it's just tim minear trying to make himself look smart and exposing himself further as having no plan for the show.

NOW all that being said, the fanon of it all makes me LOVE the abbytommy backstory. i definitely pick and choose when i want to incorporate it into my own canon, because the special thing about tommy kinard is that he has a multitude of backstories <3 abbytommy made me fall back in love with abby (i liked her in s1, was neutral about her in s2, and then disliked her after the non-apology to buck in s3). but the added context of tommy's cruelty to abby (yes i'm using that word bc he did hurt her and he's honest enough to own up to it) puts abby's cruelty to buck (bc her ghosting buck who waited thinking she was coming back and then showing up with a fiance was cruel) into perspective. i love how this fandom has found the nuance within the abbytommy relationship and made it something very interesting and fun to pick apart. i love the angst of abbytommy, and i think they did love each other in a way, but tommy could never love abby the way she needed and abby always knew there was something missing, and i think the stress of their relationship added to her mom being sick really broke something in abby that buck helped fix.

and the one thing that's canon to me and i won't accept criticism on is that tommy loved patricia (abby's mom) and always cared about what happened to her.

So, what do I love about Maya... Her tenacity, her ambition, her style, she definitely has more depth than perhaps most of her classmates realise. I think it's easier to like her as a viewer bc we see all those layers, but if I was her classmate I probably wouldn't be that keen on her diva attitude.

oh 1000% to all of this, els! the way i wish we could have outfit gifsets... but alas. i definitely agree that she’s easier to swallow as a viewer because we don’t have to actually deal with her -- i know for a fact if i knew her in real life she’d drive me insane LOL, yet she’s so much fun to write and watch wreak havoc. but i appreciate you highlighting the fact that she does have a depth to her, because she does have these rare tender moments underneath the confidence that show, yes, she is in fact human somewhere in there

happy birthday @leoleofitz!!

[waterstribe]

as old as time ☆ a dark curse was once cast on the trikingdom in the enchanted realm, transporting its citizens to a land without magic - storybrooke, maine - with no memories of who they or their loved ones are. after ten years of relentless dullness and misery, a young boy shows up claiming that the local veterinarian is his long lost father, prince charming. things in the town in the middle of nowhere begin to shift, especially once the boy’s mom shows up, and before they know it, storybrooke is turning the page to a new chapter.

Ok maybe dumb question, I follow you, and you post a lot about it's always sunny, which I've never seen so i have no idea... those two guys in your icon, are they a couple? I thought the show was about a family from what I had pieced together from your posts I thought they were brothers or something (ignore this if I sound like a lunatic)

ASKDGKH oh my god okay so sunny is kind of like an anti-sitcom? dennis (the guy on the left in my icon) and dee are twin brother and sister, and frank (played by danny devito) is their dad (but not biological and also not really a dad, let’s be honest) and mac and charlie are two of dennis and dee’s friends from high school (their only friends, period) that they never grew out of. the show is mainly about found family between these horrible, horrible people, and yes, mac and dennis are basically a couple.

glad i'm not the only one who hated clarke's hair in 3a

No, sis, it’s real bad. 3B she pulls it together, but 3A... let’s all pray we can forget.

[quincywillows]

You are a writing blog Maggie! What are you writing today? :)

THANKS FOR SAYING SO MISS ELLIE <3

today, we’re tackling the climactic confrontation in quincy willows. i just woke up feeling ready for some villain monologuing, so i felt ready to tackle the first draft and see where it might take me. i’m about halfway through (the actual action of the scene is just about to begin), so we shall see how things go!

since you asked, here’s a little snippet that hopefully won’t be too spoilery (wouldn’t want to spoil the big bad reveal after all) [ insert first draft disclaimer blah blah blah ]

“And yet, the pieces still fell into my favor in due time. The Devereuxs, never having much believed in the Normie disease theory and now desperate to prove that their exiled daughter could come home, went in search of another hapless mortal to bring into their home.”

Much like when he first met Candace, Jonah feels a strange shift in the air around them as [ redacted ] seems to reach the ending of their explanation. Only this looming power is less grounded, more erratic and zaps all of the oxygen into static in a way that makes it hard to breathe. The damaged energy forcibly taken from so many innocent souls.

“Your arrival in Quincy Willows is both a coincidence and destiny, Mister Anderson. And from the moment you made yourself known, I knew my time had finally come. I was to see my vision through and finally reach my true power… and you should be honored to get to play your part in that rapture.”
