@lizardthelizard please forgive the unorthodox method of response, but Tumblr was, as we tend to say, a fucking bitch - also, I'm sorry, this might be the little shit in me, but my first reaction upon seeing this request was "why not both?" ashkdhaljskfhlkjaf 💗
Kid/Parent Dialogue Prompts
6. "How did you grow up so fast? Yesterday you were still my little baby..."
(Related, of course, to my very self indulgent EAH Uncle Wick AU 😊)
"Uuuuh, guys?" Cedar ventures, unsure of who exactly she has to address at this point. "Why can't anyone tell me where we're going? Is it another secret dance? Because it's going to be fairy hard for me to spoil the secret, if I'm already going down there with you."
She hears repressed giggles around her, which confuse her even more. "Nothing like that, I promise," Raven replies from somewhere to her left - the blindfold makes it hard to pinpoint the exact spot, but Cedar can feel her friend holding tight onto her hand, warm and familiar. "Just a little surprise."
Cedar's plenty used to surprises - learning things at the very last minute is pretty much the norm, when you can't help but blurt them out otherwise - but they don't often focus on her, in truth. She doesn't think Raven, Maddie and Cerise would lead her astray just for a laugh, and it's not like they can go very far; the chaos surrounding them can only belong to the Book End village, as familiar as it can be grating. She should be safe from nasty tricks, strictly speaking.
Still, none of that is enough to make her relax completely. "Alright, but where are we going? I feel like I'm walking my feet to splinters."
"We're here!" Maddie announces cheerfully. "Are you ready?"
Cedar is, in fact, very far from ready, but she only manages an unconvinced mumble before she is made to stop abruptly and the scarf is pulled from around her head. Her eyes don't need time adjusting to the sudden bright light as much as real ones would, but she's still so taken aback that for a moment all she can do is look up in confusion at the area around them, the clear sky and the top of the Mad Hatter's Tea Shoppe.
Then a man's voice says, "What, no warm welcome for me?"
Cedar gasps, glancing down in a second - though not much further down, it has to be said. There is a fairy familiar figure standing in front of the Tea Shoppe, tall and slim and grinning broadly at her, though he has his hands buried deeply in his coat pockets, as if he were pretending not to be all that invested in her reaction.
There is a beat of shocked silence; then Cedar throws herself at him, shrieking in joy as Lampwick drops the facade and wraps his arms around her, lifting her up as though she weighed nothing. "Uncle Wick, how- What are you doing here? I haven't seen you in forever after!"
"That's exactly why I'm here, sprout. Didn't get a chance to say goodbye when you left for school, so since I had some business in the area I thought I'd swing by... And I asked your friends to help me set this nice meeting up, to see tha' sweet shocked face of yours."
He presses a kiss to her cheek that makes her snicker, before putting her down with an exaggerated huff. "How did you get so big in so little time is beyond me- I coulda sworn you were just a green bud last week, and now you're almost as tall as me."
"That's never going to happen, Uncle Wick." Undeterred, Cedar clings to him like a lifeline, though she turns to smile gratefully at her friends, who are standing a few feet away to give them space. Maddie looks fit to burst with excitement, and Cerise seems pleased under the brim of her hood, but it's Raven that appears the most self-satisfied, regarding them with a proud smirk and her arms crossed against her chest.
And she has every right to act so, Cedar thinks. There's a good chance this might be the best weekend she's had since the beginning of the school years - she always knows exactly when and where she might see her father and grandfather, but Uncle Wick is as slippery as an eel, here one day, gone the next. To have him on hand like this, so unexpectedly... It beats every encounter she made on Yester Day, that's for sure.
"Still, we gotta water your roots some, kiddo." He ruffles her curls with fond cheekiness, then makes a broad gesture that encompasses them all and the building behind them.
"Let's go, girls. Tea's on me for everyone- let's see if the old Hatter is still as good as I remember, shall we?"

HELLO THERE 🎲 + 5 please 😏
Tumblr media Tumblr media
HELLO HELLO!! 🥰 💕💕💕 Oh EXCELLENT Thank you so much again for these 🫶 These were a lot of fun to think about. The Wheel’s bias leaked into these as well (might try throwing in more characters and not just five to see if that won’t do better next time JHBKFHGLCTI) BUT! No further dwindling around!!
Send me 🎲 + a number and I will put ALL my OCs into a randomizer and choose the first OC after the number of randomizations to make something for
(Swapped them around on the post, cause continuity my beloved ❤️)
🎲 8 ROLLS
SKYRAH (Four songs from their playlist + why they’re there)
🎲 5 ROLLS
BETHAN (headshot)
40 OC questions
10. How open is your oc to trying new things? Are they the adventurous sort, or would they rather stay in their comfort zone? Why?
15. What is your oc’s favourite time of day? Why is this? Do they have a daily practice during this time?
16. How often does your oc lie? Why is that? What was the biggest lie they’ve ever told?
🎲 8 - (SKYRAH)
Four songs from their playlist + why they’re there
1. Force of Nature - Miracle of Sound
Force of Nature was more leaning towards her desire and ability to tune in with nature itself. She is a wielder of the elements, and resonates with them more than anything. Shunned by society she leans to the comforts the earth itself grants her instead.
2. Diana, Scorn of the Moon - League of Legends
A lot of the songs on her playlist they were mostly put there for the vibes especially! And this one’s no different, bringing in a more sinister nature rather than any specific meaning!
3. Bullet with Butterfly Wings - Tommee Profitt
The vibes™ once more JKHRTVJLGC I cannot remember most of the reasons why I put a lot of the songs on there as it’s been…. 2-3 years since I worked with her character sadly, but if I were to give it meaning now, it was about the way Skyrah viewed the world as a whole. Cruel and unjust, selfish, only secretly seeking out its own desires.
4. Sweet Hibiscus Tea - Penelope Scott
This was more a song I found bemusing when thinking about her past, an individual that’s of little control of what she was doing at the time, not concentrated and also her magic kinda just leaving destruction in her wake. A very big "Woopsie!" In her mind.
🎲 5 - (BETHAN)
Tumblr media
10. How open is your oc to trying new things? Are they the adventurous sort, or would they rather stay in their comfort zone? Why?
Hesitant. As much as she loves the idea of trying new things out, actually jumping forward and doing so is very intimidating to her, and it may take a while for her to actually jump forward and advance in such a thing. She is a woman of habit. I wouldn’t say she’s a woman of tradition cause she has no definite tradition, but she is someone that if accustomed to some specific habit it’s not something she’d be easily breaking out of. Enough nudges in the direction though she will try however.
15. What is your oc’s favourite time of day? Why is this? Do they have a daily practice during this time?
Bethan doesn’t have a specific favourite time of day. Despite her pessimism towards a lot of things out there, she can find some sort of nice thing about every moment of time during the day, even if her reasonings aren’t the ones you’d think they would be. Morning - Start of the day, means she now has time to get things done in the light of day Midday/Afternoon - The sun is up and at its warmest then. (this can be either good or bad really LOL) Evening - Maybe she could spare a moment for tea? And be able to see the way the sun sets as well she supposes Night - Counting the stars time… 
16. How often does your oc lie? Why is that? What was the biggest lie they’ve ever told?
Oh this. This is funny DFJKHTC Cause despite who her best friend is, Beth straight up is a horrible horrible liar. She can’t lie to save her life. So she doesn’t. She tries but it’s not something that really works in her favour. The closest she can get to a “lie” is straight up avoiding any and all talks of whatever it is that may be on her mind. And even that doesn’t exactly count as a lie that’s just avoiding responsibility and the likes. If she tries to lie it’s pretty evident that she’s doing so, not to mention they’re pretty obvious. Excuse the deprecation but literally the biggest lie she could have ever said is “she’s fine”, even if clearly she wasn’t, and refusing to return to the subject if anyone thought or tried to bring it back up again.

also! 1, 8 and 16 for Alice Jones? :)
Thank you Libby :D!
My first impression of them
It was shock, actually, when she spoke. All we'd seen of her was her jumping and running all over the place and her outfit and the setting made me certain she'd have an american accent. I don't know why I was so certain, and it didn't matter at all, but it just made me jump lol. I found her intriguing and mysterious, but wasn't fully sold until the Henry kidnap scene. Like many, I thought she was going to be an eccentric villain. Then by 7x04 I was gone and she became my new favourite character after years of Zelena taking that spot.
Tumblr media
8. Your favorite outfit of them
I think it was this one. I love long denim shirts and have owned several. I would totally wear that shirt/t-shirt combo.
Tumblr media
16. A childhood headcanon
I have so many! But maybe my favourite is that in her loneliness she created Wonderland. I feel like I might have answered this before. But it seems very coincidental that she had a hat called 'Hatter' and a rabbit toy who she had tea parties with and then ended up doing the same thing in Wonderland. It's implied by Gothel that nymphs have something to do with the creation of realms, and then there's the fact that she's next in line to be mother nature and that she created life in the form of a troll. I reckon she travelled there in her dreams and daydreams, until it became real and she accidentally created Wonderland II without realising.

LIBBY!! HI!! i have never had such a difficult time trying to answer an ask before and i ended up accidentally deleting your message entirely szxdcfvg but hi hi it’s so good to see you in my inbox again! how are you?! + thank you for the ask <33 @lizardthelizard​
Regina:
Tumblr media
like for hook, there weren’t enough options here for regina and i didn’t want to go as full on as i was going to for emma since they would be the exact same lmao but sadly this is not enough love for my queen! also, i had to google what ‘based’ meant and apparently it means ‘to be yourself without worrying about how other people may perceive you’ and i felt that was very on brand for regina lmao hope that’s what this board means !!
Emma:
Tumblr media

ooooh 1, 4 and 10 for the movie ask? please, ramble away! :)
In a film you like, what's a stupid decision in the narrative that you despise?
The first thing that comes to mind definitely is the ending of The Breakfast Club. I loooooooove that movie to bits. It's so good. And then Allison gets a make-over. Why? WHY? AND THEN THEY DO THE SAME THING IN THE FACULTY TO ME AGAIN WITH STOKELY!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Oh no, the loner girl wearing dark clothes found her flowery self and has a crush. She's fixed now. I'm not saying nobody could ever change their style. Claire and Allison could have played around with make-up, make it a two way street (or even include the whole group, playing with image and appearance). But the way it's only presented at the end is... evil
4. A film you agree is not "good", but holds special sentimental value. (Share the reason if you feel like it.)
hmmmmm... I enjoy a lot of "not good" films anyway. So, yeah, I do agree that Austin Powers in Goldmember wasn't anything we needed. The sequels can't compare to the first and while entertaining, I wouldn't call it good. Hardly recommend to anybody out of the blue. BUT I saw it in theatres back in the day with a friend from uni I rarely spend time with alone. It was one of the few occassions it was just us. In front of us two guys laughed when in the beginning the location plops up as "Utah" and so "Utah, ahahahaha" became a joke between us. I haven't talked to this person in well over ten years and I doubt we'll ever meet again. But this film is a cherished memory in that regard. (Well, she's also the one who sat next to me watching Brokeback Mountain, but that is a very good movie. XD )
It happens a lot. Films are more fun with other people around to share. Can't think of a better example right now, although I'm sure there's more. Especially films I liked as a kid and overlooked so many flaws. Wait, now I'm wondering if watching terrible, terrible films, because of that one acting face you enjoy, would fall under "sentimental value". This list would be so long. (Starting with the extra bad film Dark House.) Nah, that's a thirst thing, I guess...
10. A remake you wish would happent for whatever reason.
I desperately need somebody to take another look at Sucker Punch and make it the kick-ass bizarre adventure for bodily autonomy and independence it should be. So, whenever I hear people talking that movie is utter shit, I will disagree and point out the various great ideas and how complex the character connections can be. The moment fanboys come out of hiding calling it the one true feminist down-with-patriarchy film, I need to scream a lot.
Some say you either love or hate the movie, but I do neither. I'm exactly on the fence. And I think that's terrible, because that film could actually be pure greatness. We need to give it another shot and the script needs women to work with it. The camera needs an extra female lense. (I say that as a lesbian who is at times fed by the male gaze, ngl.) We need a better focus and the male characters can't be pulling all the strings and move the plot by mere existence (I get the women being dolls is a theme, but they need more clear agency and be the driving force).
The one thing that nobody should ever dispute though is the cast of this film. I don't know how to imrpove that in a remake.

I’m sort of new to ouat, could you recommend blogs to follow? (Thank you in advance)
hiii, this is a wonderful question because there are so many great blogs that deserve recognition!! 💗💐🌷
1. @cptainjones - if you’re looking for analyses that unlock the middle school greek mythology geek in you, this is the place to be!! + every point made on that blog is spot on and truly beautiful; mari [hiii] is also a wonderful writer whose fics have quotes that you can print out and hang on your wall.
2. @ceilings-plaster - one of the best blogs for gif sets that look like they were sent by god; forget trudging through endless gifsets that weren’t made well, this is the blog for the best ones!! in addition to that, the tagging system is wonderful [and so is the blog runner hiiiii darling]
3. @/mirosango - in all my years of reading fanfic [ivylakes on ao3 btw!], i’ve never read such beautiful and gut wrenching as the kind penned by this blog. i’m not one for notifications, but i specifically subscribed to them because every chapter is too good to miss.
4. @lizardthelizard - if you’re an august booth girlie in any capacity, whether it be his character or those connected to him, you need to waltz on over to this blog; from incredibly penned analysis to a deeper look into one of the most complex characters in this show, there’s something for everyone. also, libby is a light in this cold dark world 💡
5. @/dinneratgrannys- if you told me the blog runner’s professional job was as a graphic designer, i’d wholeheartedly believe you. there is NEVER a miss on that blog, every gif feels 3D to me and is made with the passion of someone who loves this show.
6. @agirlwithoutmagic - chelsea is TRULY the sweetest person alive while also creating posts that force you to think deeper about the characters you love + her takes are absolutely legendary to me and ykw…they’re always right on the money!!
7. @caliburn-the-sword - we don’t interact as much, but if you want to feel silly while also falling deeper in love with this circus of a show, traipse on over to this blog! the posts are so fun to read + make you realise how many little moments you miss from the show when not looking at every screen cap.

Gimme the deets on granny and ur oc!
👁️: What exactly do they want with their future with each other? Is that something they think of often or do they just stay in the moment?
please and thank u!
Ok this very much depends on the au.
Flowers is part of a larger verse that they just want to be with each other and fighting against the evil blue fairy that trys to tell them that their 30+ year marriage and that their granddaughter's love with Jiminy is less because of the blood curse of Granny and Ruby's have because Blue is a liar and a bigot (yes yes i love the theory fight me). While also having fights with Snow and David about Jiminy and their lack of seeing the gray morality of things (they still mostly have their black and white thinking).
In my supernatural verse, the goal is to try and figure out if they could pick up where they left off so many years ago or not.
In the ot3 verse where Joan is married to Geppetto in the EF and Granny in Storybrooke, it changes because Joan is in love with both and hates anyone to tell her what her and Granny shared under the curse wasn't love and wasn't real (and Granny will most likely kill you with her crossbow if you try)
I think Granny is more the Planner of the two so she is more anxious about things because in the EF Joan was...not well and in Storybrooke that doesn't disappear especially when Rumple brings back magic, in fact it's just different.
Joan is more the live in the moment because of [Spoiler], which doesn't worsen and only gets slightly better.
Adding in Geppetto (for the one au) it varies depending on who he's talking to because he wants to live in the moment as they mostly did in the EF but it drives Granny bonkers so he has a bit more sense of to plan things becsuse sometimes the fight with the older shewolf is not worth it.
Tagging: @lizardthelizard and @sarahtarth since they both have mentioned their appreciation of Granny x OC before.

Please can I also have number 56 and Pinocchio (in any capacity) 💖
See I WAS intent on making this a specific puppet child. However when I saw the song choice...let's just say it spoke to me, so now this post is about every Pinocchio. And each of them. And none at all.
Spotify wrapped game: send me a number from 1-100 with a ship or character for a moodboard based on the song it corresponds to

Hi, I’m new in this tag kinda and new to meta-writing overall, but not only is the August brain rot really strong but one particular part of his entire character has been on my mind for a whole weekend. Please take this as mostly an offering of very spilled thoughts cause I couldn't keep them to myself anymore, LMAO. Particularly the thing that's on my brain is his guilt
I would also like to make note of and thank @ lizardthelizard And her glorious set of tags here for setting off my spiral tonight and also when she first sent them because my goodness this is truly an eye-opener. Thank you, buddy 💖
Gosh though, August’s guilt and self-criticism of himself and his actions is something that really fascinates me personally, and just thinking of it being the cause of what turns him back to wood is both mind-blowing but it just makes so much sense. He may be real because of magic but who’s to say it’s just the magical conditions that are holding him back and not the high as heck expectations that he feels were set for him and he set up for himself.
When it feels like you can't mess up sometimes it can feel like you're stuck in place Or that your screw ups means you can't change, that you're not good, that maybe you don't deserve to be considered good and that your various flaws are all that others would see you FOR!!
Maybe it's different to anxiety but idk it’s what caught my attention about him even more than what his character already offered up in s1!
He was given this like 
Idea that he needs to be "Brave" and "Truthful" and "Selfless" all the time or else he cannot be human 
Does it work like that? no, there's no human on EARTH that's all three of those things all the time, we've all had moments of weakness and gave in 
But what does he know? Most of his life he spent on his own and as a puppet, he was expected to understand the ways of being a human and GOODNESS knows how short a time he was with his dad before he was THRUST into a world and forced once again to stand on his own two feet and expected to just, you know, know how to act once again 
He's followed by expectations that he finds himself struggling to meet because he doesn't know what the limit is or how to meet them, and sometimes if not all of the times the temptations are just better and easier 
And it's expected!!!
He stepped into TLWM as a child with no idea of what he’s getting into with no prior knowledge, no adult, no nothing.
But omg, he drags himself down so much about it because he can’t meet those expectations the way he would want to and because of that because literally who did he have to tell him that it's all okay? That you can make mistakes and move on from them? That you can make up for your mistakes and forgive yourself for them?
Did he have anyone at all? Cause The show sure didn't show him having anyone
We see one woman in Thailand but even after he discovers he's turning into wood she's no longer around, so like she's probably about as fleeting of a relationship as anything else
Imagine going 28 years at first ignoring all your problems and then the horror and thoughts that you’re not good enough catch up to you one morning and the more you see yourself a failure, the more you sink into that spiral the harder it feels to breathe.

ALSO! August (for self indulgent reasons) and Neal (because I know you like him) <3
i totally forgot to do this a few days ago so here we go!! @lizardthelizard
august:
Tumblr media
i honestly like august a lot but i def think that his character was handled horribly which made me dislike him in some way. his episodes were always the best and the whole mystery surrounding his enchanted forest character was soooooo good, but the way the writers wrote him in and took him out and wrote him in again (adult, then a kid, then an adult again somehow lol) was just too much for me. i mean yeah the show is extra like that so what did i expect lmao but genuinely no hard feelings against august! i just personally like the fanon/fic version of him & his friendship with emma a lot better than canon (of course)
neal:
Tumblr media
ofc neal also has two bingos lmao. i clearly have conflicting opinions about him too bc i love him so fucking much he's my favorite little guy who lives in my head rent free 365 days a year but also he did a lot of bad stuff to emma so i am very torn about him...... but he DID deserve better and the writers didn't need to kill him off just bc the actor was leaving the show but that is a soapbox i won't get on right now (hides my 'neal cassidy deserved better' signs)
thank you for always indulging me w these games, libby! <3
