Hi! 10, 13, 14 and 19 for the ouat ask game :)?
Hello fren!
Favorite backstory
The more I think about these, the more depressing I realize all these backstories are. I think right now I'm gonna say 1.18- The Stable Boy, because I'd spent so long wondering what had really happened between Snow and Regina, and this was really my first insight into "Woah. Regina has feelings too," which later lead to "Regina is just as broken as everyone else" and finally "Regina deserves redemption too." Now she's one of my favorite characters!
Most powerful scene
So I already answered the most powerful on my sideblog (Belle in 4.12) but the second most powerful scene for me is definitely Killian's phone call scene in 4.8. Colin's acting in that scene is some of the best I have ever seen- and he powerfully portrays his love for Emma, even when she's not even onscreen or in the scene with him. The way his voice breaks, the emotion on his face when he sees her charred handprint, him running all the way to the apprentice's mansion to rescue Emma- his love for her is so strong, and this scene portrays it beautifully.
Favorite battle
It's a toss up between Killian and Rumples' duel in 2.4 and Emma and Nimue's battle in 5.7
Saddest death
If the Underworld Goodbye from 5.20 counts as a death, I'm going to have to go with that one. If not, I'd say probably either Killian's death in 4.22 or Neal's death in 3.15.
I wrote all that then remembered Liam's death and decided that, yeah. Liam's death in 3.5 was sad (especially since we didn't have the backstory from 5.15 yet and still only had the perfect impression of Liam that we get from Killian's perspective)
Thanks for the asks!

💕 Beetle Hopper, OUAT? —Nic
Nic, hi!! I don't know how much you're actually aware of Beetle's lore, so (like I did with the Yarrow ask) I'll summarise it here.
Basically, Beetle's family lives by a crop of poppies that grow in the water of the river Lethe (the one which takes your memories.) This field of poppies is close to Oz (though they don't visit much.) The field is protected by a spell, that needs at least 1 of the spell-casters descendants to uphold it. This also means that they go through life invisible (so it's more of a curse, really.)
At on point on one of Beetle's mothers' excursions she gets sick, and the spell starts to break. So, Beetle goes into town and (by talking with Granny Lucas and Ruby*) gets told to go and get help from the dark one (it's Rumplestiltskin, at this point.) This works out, but they take a spell from him -- which, when read, turns them into a beetle. On the way home, Beetle tries the spell and turns into a beetle. They fly to the lake that's next to the poppies and is stuck in beetle form until after the curse is passed. Their mother is cured, but due to the time away from Beetle doesn't remember them.
Later, when the season 3 curse hits Beetle wanders their way to the farm, and falls into a poppy induced sleep. Their mother wakes them up, and Ruby is there to watch (she only got in there as they're true love.) This, however, makes it so that when Beetle crosses the border they lose the memory of their mother (although these memories do come back when they are woken up by Ruby in 5.15**).
*Granny says that there's no hope and Ruby tells them about him.
**This is also canon in the Belle/Beetle/Ruby canon (the evermore au), just in different circumstances (which I haven't figured out yet.)
So, yeah, it's a whole mess (much like the ouat wiki page.)
Other facts and ideas under the cut!
Gideon is adopted by Belle in the canon divergent au, so Beetle is one of Gideon's parents. He calls her B.
Beetle's order at Granny's is a hot chocolate and a muffin or tea. The also come into Granny's to draw, on their breaks.
They are a swim teacher during the curse.
Ruby 100% fell first, but Beetle was the one who initiated the relationship.
After the curse their ability to turn into a beetle came back almost immediately, but they found themselves being tired after the transformation It took a while to regain that control.
Hope this answered your question!

Lily Sparks OUAT recaps masterpost.
So, @sieben9 I don’t believe you had a pleasure to meet Lily Sparks yet? She’s a tv.com journalist who happens to make pretty damn ouat recaps.
THIS POST MAY CONTAIN THE LINKS TO EPISODES YOU HAVEN’T SEEN YET, BUT DON’T WORRY, THOSE EPISODES ARE NOT TITLED SO YOU WON'T ACCIDENTALLY BE SPOILED.
ALSO: I CAN’T FIND ANY MORE RECAPS PAST 6.11 SO IF ANYONE KNOWS WHY/HAVE ANY MORE LINKS (IF THEY EXIST) PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND DON’T SPOIL ANYTHING FOR SIEBEN)
She is funny,
sarcastic,
and she’s always brutally honest.
Emphasis on brutally.
Of course, the photos are not the only thing you might enjoy, Lily’s recaps really are something else, and besides being sarcastic little shit, she’s very often on point. Here’s one paragraph from 1x06:
Snow and Prince Charming have mixed DNA, so for him to look at a windmill and decide to go back to his fake wife is not piquing my interest in their relationship so much as punishing me for caring about them in the first place. It doesn't help that Josh Dallas might seriously be into Ginnifer Goodwin. I mean, if the acting he's doing opposite his fairytale mom is any indication, I don't think that crackling energy in his scenes with Ginnifer is acting. #StartingRumors
About year later Josh and Ginny got married.
