13, 26, 27, please!

thank you for the ask!

13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy?

oh wow, starting off with a tough one lol. hmm ok, i have a few fics dealing with self-harm, a topic incredibly personal to me. it's very difficult for me to write about, but simultaneously easy. i think the hard part about it is feeling like i need to be in a certain headspace when i'm writing about topics like that. and that headspace is often harmful for me. however, it's also easy to write about because i know how it feels so it kinda brings me a lot of catharsis. for example, in my most recent fic, my sky's not blue (it's violent rain) (absolutely shameless self-promo, heed the tags!) i struggled a lot with actually finishing it. my lovely friend @emily-prentits let me rant in their dms about it :)

26. How do you get into your character’s head? How do you get out? Do you ever regret going in there in the first place?

to get into a character's head i constantly ask myself "what would they do if this happened?" i also try and think about where they are in the story and how they act. for example, s1 regina mills is completely different from s4 regina mills. so it really helps to contextualize where i want them to be in their arc. getting out is usually pretty easy because i tend to write in short, sporadic burst, rather than well-planned thought-out writing sessions. usually after i write, i'll read fic for a bit to transition away from writing mode™. sometimes i do regret going there, especially for my heavier fics, because of the headspace i have to be in to write those. but i find ways to deal with it.

27. Who is the most stressful character you’ve ever written? Why?

i would say either regina mills or addison montgomery.

addison is SO complex, she has so many different facets that a writer can choose to explore and it's really interesting to see how these often contradictory pieces fit together. an example of this is her cheating, she knows what she did was wrong, she regrets it, but she also tries to justify it. she's stressful to write because i always think i'm going to mess up her characterization.

regina is also stressful to write because she is like twenty different people in one. she's regina mills: mayor of a small cursed town in maine, fierce and unwilling to back down and also kind of a bitch. she's the evil queen: sadistic and vengeful and she doesn't care for anyone or anything. she young regina: tormented and abused, yet still and idealist at heart. seeking love and watching it crumble to pieces. she's leopold's wife: a child bride forced to mother a girl only a few years younger than herself. she's angry and trapped and so very alone. finally, she's henry's mom: caring and protective and loving with her whole heart. so it's really interesting to see how all these versions of regina affect her. which parts of her are which? when writing regina, all of these things are present, lurking in her subconscious. so it's extremely difficult to capture all of it without it coming off as too much or heavy handed.

anyway, i am so sorry for how long this got, i got a little carried away lol :)

Christmas in Storybrooke

The Charming-Mills-Hood-Blanchard family were gathered at the mayor's manor discussing their holiday festivities or more likely explaining it to their new family members after having a wonderful thanksgiving in the month of November that flew by quickly. Now it's December and they want to celebrate this joyous holiday with their family again as back in the enchanted forest they had little to celebrate outside of birthdays. While the family talked in the living room that belonged to the mayor Regian walked in holding a cup, David took notice of this and he wondered what was his stepmother doing with the cup. “Hey Regina what's up with the cup?” Ther brand new sheriff asked her. Regina smiled as she was waiting for someone to ask her that but she had pegged it would have been her stepdaughter that seemed to not be able to keep her nose out of anybody's business. “Well Charming, I'm glad you took notice of the cup.” Regina sat down next to her adoptive son Henry, “You see Henry here was telling me of a tradition they had in this realm; it turns out that the name without magic is misleading in this realm. Anyway as I was saying the tradition after thanksgiving is called black monday and cyber friday-” Henry interrupted his adoptive mother “No mom its blackfriday and cyber monday,” Henry corrected her. “Christmas and since our family has been through a lot I thought it would be a nice gesture to hold the festivities again,” Regina answered, skipping the important part but she wanted to see the reaction her kids would have. Snow being cursed to be a teacher knew what her stepmother was talking about as she had spent most of her time trying to convince the school principal to allow her to hold the holidays but they refused her at every turn. “Mother, can you please just tell us or do you want me to say it,” Snow complained a bit, taking a sip of her tea. Regina shook her head at her stepdaughter “Seriously Snow I know I raised you better than that,” The former evil queen replied to her stepdaughter “As I was saying before my daughter so graciously interrupted me, the cup I am holding here contains our names as theirs this thing called secret santa we pick names from this cup and we don’t tell eachother who we got so when the day comes we give the person we got the gift.” Regina finished her explanation. Robin and David listen tentatively to the mayor as she explains the holiday season to the family. They both seemed to enjoy the Idea “That's lovely I do believe Rolaand and I would love to participate,” Robin replied to his wife. “Yes that's good and I've been in a coma since the curse so it’ll be my first proper holiday! I am in too,” David nodded to his stepmother in law taking a cookie from the plate. “Well mom I agree but what about our kids you know Emma and Zelena got turned into toddlers so how do we get them to participate?” Snow asked, wanting to include everyone “that's easy dear we just have one of us choose for them and then tell them what to do,” Regina answered.

Seeing that everyone was in agreement Regina smiled and looked at her step daughter “Snow dear, what's next on the agenda?” The mayor asked her stepdaughter “Lets see we need to decide where we are throwing the party and who we are inviting and I believe we need to get a tree and the decorations and where exactly are we having the party,” Snow replied to Regina and the family. Neither woman ever thought they would be celebrating anything together again; it's been so long since they considered each other family. “Well I'd say we get the banking and the invites, David and Robin can bring us the tree and we handle the rest.” The mayor suggested as she looked at her family a genuine smile forming in her lips.

“We can have the party at Granny’s like we always do,” Snow figured. “Unfortunately dear this time we can have it in the diner, as it needs some repairs since the latest villain we fought trashed the place,” Regina reminded her. “Oh yeah I forgot about that,” Snow blushed at her forgetfulness. “I have a suggestion we can have it in the forest,” Robin chimed in, Regina smiled at her husband “I am not certain if we are allowed to do such a thing in the forest” David answered for Regina. “I see it would have been a beautiful place to celebrate it,” Robin claimed. “I think I got it we can rent a warehouse or a dance place or something like that or maybe we can have it here at the manor?” Snow suggested.

Regina gave it some thought and decided against “I don't think the manor is such a good idea we’ll rent something and Snow dear gather the children so we can pick names,”Regina ordered her stepdaughter and SnowHite obey as she went to bring the kids Roland and Henry sat in between Regina and robin while Zelena sat in her mommy’s lap Emma sat in David's lap and neal sat in Snow’s lap. Regina passed the cup around and each member chose a paper and read it to themselves.

The gathering soon ended and the charmings went home as both their children had fallen asleep. It was something David and Snow never thought they’d get a chance to carry their daughter and tuck her in bed like parents did. While Snow was tucking her daughter David was tucking their son and then both parents switched as they loved their son and daughter beyond belief they held true love not just for themselves but for their family as well.

Several weeks later Robin, Roland, Henry, David, and Neal went out to get a christmas tree while Snow Regina Zelena and Emma went to do the shopping for the feast they would prepare for their Christmas feast. The men of the family decided to check out the trees that were for sale in Goldilocks tree farm. They looked for the best pine tree at the tree store. “What do you think, Robin?” David asked him as he looked at the tree “Oh I don't know I think that's too big,” Robin replied “hey Dad what about over here,” Henry called to Robin. David and Robin both went to see the tree “I don't know Henry, I feel like it…” Robin tried; he just couldn't form the right words to describe it. “Too small,” was all David replied and Robin nodded “papa i found one.” Roland called out and all three went it was a gorgeous pine three it felt almost as if it was calling to them, ”Thats just right,” David, Henry and Robin claimed together then Neal started laughing. Henry understood but Robin and David didn't know what was going on with Neal “Not telling its too funny,” Neal replied to them. Meanwhile with the ladies they were at the mall as the past Snow saw a mall Santa and looked at Regina “Mom you think the girls would be okay seeing Santa Clause?” Snow whispered in her stepmother’s ear as to not get the little ones all hyped up for nothing in case Regina decided otherwise. “Honestly Snow sometimes I believe you're trying to relive your youth,” But I suppose it wouldn't hurt,” Regina replied to her stepdaughter pushing the cart. “However, so we don't lose too much time, I shall continue the shopping while you take the girls to see this Santa Clause,” Regina informed her step daughter. The mayor gently lifted Zelly off the cart and transferred her to Snow’s shopping cart. “Your big sister is going to take you and Emmy to see Santa Clause.” Regina cooed and the girls got excited “YAY SANTA! we get to see Santa,” the girls cheered Snow and Regina split up so that the mayor could get the shopping done and the former bandit princess went to form in line with little Zelly and Little Emmy.

The crowd was large as they made their way to the Santa Clause’s line “mommy I wanna see Santa now,” the blonde said “me too,” Zelena chimed in Snow sighed “Girls I know that you all want to see him but we have to wait our turn let the line move up,” Emma was understable behaving Zelena on the other hand was about throw a massive temper tantrum. “I WANNA,,,” Snow interprets Zelena's “Zelly if you're naughty, Santa won't bring you anything for Christmas.” Snow told her new little sister. Zelena stayed quiet for the rest of the wait.Well she and Emma chatted while the line moved up and soon it was their turn. “Ho hoo hoo,” the mall Snata greeted as he placed Zelena and Emma in his laps, “Tell me little girls have you been good this year,” he cooed asking them “Yeah I've been really really good! I’m Emmy and my mommy says I'm her good girl!” the blonde replied happily, “Well Emmy tell dear old santa what you want for Christmas.”

Emma smiled as this was the first Christmas she would have and she was happy about sitting in Santa Claus lap. “I want to thank you Santa for helping me find my mommy and daddy but I might want an Elsa dolly,” The blonde replied she didn't really want much, she was just happy being with her mommy and daddy and brother. Emma ‘s first words touched the man and he smiled at the little girl. “Well I'll make sure you get all of that and I am sure you found your family on your own but your welcome sweet little girl, Hohoho!” Santa then turned to Zelena “Ho ho ho! And what would you like for Christmas young lady? Have you been a good little girl for mommy and daddy?” Zelena thought about Santa’s question for a minute. “I've been a good girl Santa sometimes! but I'll try harder, promise,” Zelena answered “Tell me what it is that Santa can bring you?” he asked again. “I want a dress, and a my little pony, and maybe a real pony too! Mommy says that we can't but we have stables,” Zelena gave her list to Santa, “Hohoo alright thank you little girl I'll be sure to bring you your toys,” with both girls done Snow picked them and settled them. Thankfully Regina was done shopping while they had done everything needed, “You only took them because you didn't want to do the shopping?” Regina accused raising an eyebrow at her stepdaughter, “I promise I didn't do it to back down I just thought that they would appreciate seeing Santa Clause,” Snow defended herself as they had finished and settled the girls in the car and took their decorations and tree to the warehouse where they will have their holiday.

Snow had sent out the invitation a few weeks ago. The Charmings Mills Hood started to decorate the place and the children helped Snow, Neal, Emma, and David put the Christmas stand on top of the Christmas skirt. David Stood the tree on the base and tightened it. “David I have the spheres and candy canes and well everything we need to decorate the tree,” Snow replied as she placed the box down. Emma and Neal looked at the box and then at their parents, “Can we help please mommy daddy?” The blonde asked her parents and Neal gave them a cute pouty face.

David and Snow looked at each other and then at their kids and nodded “Alright, you can help us.” Snow replied, handing her kids little ornaments and telling them to hang them on the tree “Like this mommy?” Neal asked, pointing at the sphere he just hung it. “Oh Nealy no first we have to place the lights on the tree then we have to put up the tinsels and lastly we can place the spheres and the rest of the ornaments,” David explained as he picked out the lights Snow waited for David to finish with the lights before dressing the tree with the tinsels, then the the kids hanged the spheres and the little santa ”Emma no eating the candy cane.” Snow warned leaving a blonde savior to wonder how her mother even knew that. While the Charmings were working on the tree, the Mills hoods were doing other parts of the warehouse.

“Henry, can you pass me the nails and hammers,” Robin asked as he was standing on a ladder to hang some banners.” “Sure Dad,” the young boy replied as he had started to view Robinhood as a second father. Henry passed Robin the tools required for the task. “How was life in the enchanted forest?” Henry asked, he wanted to know the origin of his family. “The enchanted forest is a realm of unbelieve peril for the folks of this realm.” Robin hammered the banner as he wanted to help while Henry held the other side of the banner up. Regina and Roladn were hanging stockings for the entire town, well just their guests. Snow and her family was done decorating and the families had to go home to prepare the meals for the party.

The day of Christmas arrived and the Charming Hoods Mills family were the first to arrive at the warehouse they were hosting. “Hello Golds,” Snow greeted the family coming in Rumple was angry that Belle made him come but here they were with their two boys little Bae and little Gideon. The second family to arrive was Geppetto, his newly wife the blue fairy as she had stepped down and afterAstrid and Leroy's (Nova and Grumpy) romance worked the blue fairy assigned another fairy to take her place and she decided to let love be a thing for fairies. And their son Pinocchio. Ashley Boyd (Cinderellea), her husband Thomas and their daughter Alexendra. Aurora Philip and their son philip. The other dwarfs and fairies, Ariel and Eric with their daughter Melody. Abigail and her husband Frederick, Granny, Ruby, Dorahty, Mulan and Hook with Maleficent and her daughter Lily. Like Emma and Zelena Bae and Lily were affected and transformed into children the town looked for everything dn they couldn't find a cure so they rolled with it and everyone was happy in facte their town soon became a Kingdom and Regina became a the queen with Snow-White as the princess and everyone seemed to be happy with the end results. Cinderella stepsisters were there too.

Music started to play, and the couples danced with teacher Snow and David danced, Regina and Robin did as well. Cinderella danced with her prince Thomas, Marco (Geppetto) danced with the blue fairy, Maleficent danced with Hook. Eric and Ariel. Ruby and Dorothy, Frederick and Abigail. Muan and Merida danced. Elsa and Anna and Kristoph were here too as they had been invited. All couples danced and the children played although Emma and Bae shared a little dance and so did Lily with August (Pinocchio). Henry danced with Violet. For a bit they then went to play like children and then they ate a feast that was prepared by Regina and Snow White. The party lasted all night and most children had fallen asleep and the families went back home.

Except the Charming's who had gone to the manor with the hoods mils to do their secret Santa luckily for them their little ones awake in time to have it. David started and he gave his gift to Regina who opened it and she found that the sheriff had bought her a nice locket with the entire family in it. “Thank you, David, I love it and I still approve of you,” she joked remembering when she had told him that long ago, she sure wanted to kill him, but she was serious when she told him that she approves. “Okay here you go Emmy, a gift from nana to my little granddaughter,” Regina gave her gift to the blonde toddler. Emma opened the gift and she saw a unicorn plushie,” the blonde hugged the plushie I name it Sparkles,” she said then emma took her present and gave it to her mother “Here mommy,” Emma gave her the box that wasn't very well wrapped and if it was a cup with the words my mommy is a princess, “Daddy helped me,” the blonde said. Snow walked toward her new little sister and gave her a box “Here you go Zelly.” The bandit princess gave her a bag and Zelene opened it. It was a couple of brand-new toys that she had been asking for a while now. “You know I'm the grandmother and I'm the one that's supposed to be spoiling your children, not the other way around.” Regina teased her stepdaughter. “Yeah, I know,” Snow nodded. Zelena gave her gift to Roland which happened to be a set of video games like Henry's of course Regina bought them. Roland gave Henry a couple of comics that Regina knew he wanted as she had Helped Roland just like she helped Zelena. Henry gave Neal a toy sword as the boy had been begging to be like his dad, Neal took the gift and gave it to Robin which happened to be a set of archery techniques his parents helped him buy it and finally Robin gave his gift to David which was a real sword made by Robin. The kids then went to open the present that Santa Clause bought them, and they had a wonderful Christmas as they had spent it with their families. Emma was curled up with her brother and the other and the adults took a picture before carrying the children to bed.
