Hi. I'm new to the crazyness that is OUAT and Captain Swan, well the ridiculous pulsing need of the true FANDOM LOOOOOVE part at least. Do you mind if I fan girl/flail and more with you??

Fangirl away, love! But mostly:

Hope you’ll enjoy your stay! ;)

The only thing that bothers me about that ABC Advisory synopsis is that it should say "duel" not "dual". That bothers me and has me questioning the authenticity. The again wasn't their a typo in the show in Nimue?? Not sure what to think really just SUPER EXCITED for whatever it may be.

I understand your concern. That and the fact that they can’t even spell Storybrooke correctly... But the source where I got it from said she wasn’t making it up, plus, someone else who has access to ABC Advisory (same person who got the CS spoiler pic)  checked to confirm it and it turned out to really be there.

So, it’s legit. Just seems that ABC’s team isn’t able to spell or care about what they publish ;)

So I just read that Jon is going to be playing The Punisher on Daredevil and I squeeeeeeee'd, and then instantly wanted to see what your thoughts were on it.

I AM BEYOND EXCITED.

Frank Castle is one of my all-time favorite Marvel characters, and honestly one of my favorite characters in general. I’m super stoked to see him on screen and even more thrilled that Jon gets to be the one to bring him to life. Jon is absolutely the PERFECT actor for this role. I think he’ll really be able to capture the many facets that make the Punisher great. He’s really, really great at tapping into his characters’ heads and understanding what makes them tick-- he takes a lot of time to understand the deepest intricacies of his characters, and there is so much in Frank’s story for him to draw from. This casting is flawless and this character will be incredible!!

I fully agree with you about the post on Rick's characterization. His infatuation is unnatural and uncomfortable. They've given themselves this golden opportunity with a new set of characters to create something MORE than they did before. Yet the continue to try to bring to life the scenes from the comics. I love both the show and the comic, but there's so much opportunity being wasted. And really, can't they see that show!Rick is so much more than his counterpart. Sorry...rambling. I love you

You don’t have to apologize! I absolutely agree with you that they’re trying too hard to bring the comics to life, and in doing that they’re wasting some amazing character development and plot enhancement opportunities. The show and the comics are two different entities that stem from the same ideas-- they aren’t the same, and I don’t think they should be treated the same.

I think that earlier seasons prove that you can deviate from the source material and still come up with a similar story. Just look at Shane; he lasted all of a minute in the comics, he was a much flatter, weaker character, and his death came much more quickly. In the show, they gave him an entire character arc, they deepened him and developed him, used him to further plot points (Lori’s pregnancy, the question of morality, “we’re all infected”), and gave him a more meaningful death. You can tell where all the inspiration for him and his scenes came from, but it didn’t follow the comics directly and it gave us a more fleshed-out, dynamic, and interesting character to watch on screen.

You don’t always have to follow the source verbatim; the characters have developed differently and had different experiences in the show vs. the comics, so it doesn’t always make sense to have tv!Rick do the same things that comics!Rick did. They’re branches off the same tree, but that doesn’t make them the same. . 

Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun to see some iconic scenes from the books on screen. I just think that Gimple and the writers are straining to make it happen. The Rick/Jessie subplot could have been semi-successful, I think, if it had been better executed and Rick’s previous character development had been taken into account. They could have made it work if they didn’t rush into it so hastily.

Carry You Home - James Blunt Trouble is her only friend and he's back again. Makes her body older than it really is. She says it's high time she went away, No one's got much to say in this town. Trouble is the only way is down. Down, down. As strong as you were, tender you go. I'm watching you breathing for the last time. A song for your heart, but when it is quiet, I know what it means and I'll carry you home. I'll carry you home. I dunno. Too sad????

Nice Thoughts Challenge

Nice thoughts challenge!

Nice thoughts challenge! Say five nice things about yourself and send it out to/tag 10 people.  I was tagged by adksansan.

I'm a cool mom. I think I straddle the line between mom & friend with my kids pretty well. (At least I hope so)

My family can count on me. Nothing/nobody comes before family.

I have a soft heart. Suffering, in any form, hurts my heart. Can hardly watch news anymore.

I'm fighting, and winning, a battle with weight. Having diabetes in my family I need to get healthier. My goal this year is to get my weight down and so far, so good. (not sure this qualifies as "nice", but it takes a lot of dedication, so...I'm very dedicated?? ;))

Simple things make me happy. Sitting down with a good tale (book, fanfic, movie, tv show, etc) makes my day. Visiting with family/friends and having a cup of coffee is all it takes for this girl to count my blessings in life.
