i'm juggling fandom along with working and other adult responsibilities in addition to writing, i love reading and as long as i'm not in a slump, i'll devour a book relatively quickly. i'm a granny and i love knitting as well. and yes i constantly have ideas for wips and only maybe 1% ever actually gets written.

fandom interests: currently obsessed with aot (for the second time) and i pretty much write eremika and jeanpiku but i'm not picky at all! i'm open to writing any ship so long as i have an active interest in it. in the past i've been in the naruto, bleach, fairy tail, death note, vld, tdp, castlevania, yoi, hq!!, and banana fish fandoms. my current hyperfixations are aot and hotd.

#about post

[thecrimsonjaguar]

I recently got a fish tank and for the first few days after putting the fish into it, things were okay. The fish swam around, did fish things.

But like, on the fourth day, we realized the fish all had ick, so we start treating the water and things start clearing up. 

We have four neon tetras and a guppy, and apparently male guppies are particularly aggressive. So this guppy, which I have named Pancake, starts attacking the tetras. He completely removed one of the tetra’s tail, whom is the smallest (his name is Antonio).

So anyway, Pancake starts being an asshole so we put him in quarantine, which is this little baby fish container. We had to put this little fish in gay baby jail for his war crimes.

A day or so later, we buy Pancake a smaller fish tank and put some stuff in it, as well as a snail. And apparently Pancake’s time in prison had taught him nothing, because he occasionally tries to attack the snail. Which is bigger than him. It’s really funny.

Back in the big tank, Antonio is slowly but surely growing back his tail. Which is a weird thing neon tetras can do apparently. Unfortunately, he seems to have picked up Pancakes attitude, and occasionally bullies the other tetras. This has only happened three times, at least when someone was in the room, and he hasn’t assaulted anyone else for a good four-ish weeks.

I haven't seen the newest episode of OUaT yet, but from what I've seen I can't tell if it's a good episode or a terrible episode. Would you mind giving me your opinion?

There were parts of the episode that I enjoyed and obviously there were parts I didn’t like. I don’t want to be a negative Nancy and just bash everything, so I’m gonna be as simple as possible.

I keep writing how I want to go about this, and I keep deleting it, because I’m not sure what I should say.

To cut everything short, the writing could’ve been better. Like I get it, I get that Emma has these deeply rooted abandonment issues, but I don’t like how the writing made it seem like Killian just gave up and abandoned her, because to me that’s not what he did. Couples fight, that’s what they do. They don’t always agree. 

And then you have everyone else just write him off like he’s nothing. He hurt Emma, fuck this guy. Like are you kidding me? Here you have Killian trying to work his way back to Emma and everyone is just like done with him. I know they assumed he skipped town because of one little fight with Emma, but not even thinking to see if anything’s up. His bag was at the docks still (unless Gideon actually put it on the ship as well to make it believable that he bounced.) On top of that you have his things still in the house (his flask - that he never goes anywhere without honestly; his spyglass, Liam’s ring and whatever else personal effects). I just don’t get any of this.

After everything that’s happened. He helped them get Henry back from Pan. He helped save David from the Dreamshade poison that would’ve killed him. He sacrificed himself for these people and they’re just shitting on him. Like he’s not worthy to sit at their table. I’m sorry but no. Like they accepted Regina for every single thing she’s done (she’s not marrying into the family, but still) they accepted her and treat her like one of their own and it’s like Killian doesn’t even deserve them. I’m still annoyed at this, because wtf writers? Like all this drama and for what?

Other than that, I could look past all that fake angst, and drama for drama’s sake and enjoy the episode: 

I mean the Agrabah parts were pretty cool. 

Jafar lasted longer than I thought {aka he didn’t just have one scene like he did in the first few minutes in 6x01}; 

we broke the tradition of Ariel slapping Hook and got a hug instead. 

Ariel was killing it with her little cute pun “Son of a fish.” 

Jasmine and Aladdin got True Love’s Kiss (STILL WAITING FOR A CS ONE WRITERS!! THX) as well as returned Agrabah from being stuck in a ring (no I’m not kidding, it was in a diamond ring), 

Aladdin is no longer a genie. 

Jafar is now a stick, which looks pretty freaking creepy. 

We finally got Killian in a bed, but of course Emma was nowhere to be found (seeing as she wasn’t where he was) 

We got Drunk Snow, how could I forget Drunk Snow. Who beat some vikings at darts and took one of their helmets

Ariel and Jasmine rode a magic carpet together, cute.

Henry is pretty lazy as a teenager (#relatable af)

We got David awake (Emma tells him about Killian killing his father)

We got some sweet Daddy Charming feels

Emma was looking gorg in that black turtleneck and hair swept to the side

Regina really out here talking happy hour and coupons and sent David back to sleep after he woke up so Snow could join that nonsensical Girl’s Night Out (only highlight of GNO was of course Drunk Snow - more of that pls thx)

Killian basically playing matchmaker to Jasmine and Aladdin “For two people in love, you’ve terrible communication” aka pot meet kettle

Killian’s entrance to save Jasmine and Aladdin

Every Killian part, okay? I love him a lot.

Last but not least and this is not gonna be a bullet point, was Killian calling Emma on the shell phone, reaffirming what we already knew that he’d never leave her as well as “I love you. I don’t know if you can hear me but I’m trying to get home to you. And I won’t stop trying until I do.” Finally got another ILY between them, only took 84 years and another involuntary separation to do it, but we got it.

Honestly I just want them to be reunited and get this angst over with. I love angst as much as the next person, but this is too much for my heart to take. Mmkay?

And that’s pretty much it, I guess. And I’m honestly surprised that you came to me for this, because I’m never good at giving opinions about an episode unless it’s to point out one little thing. 

But I think I did good   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
