I'm ..
...a nature freak, so lots of that
...a femslasher, so lots of that as well
...a smiling weirdo (which is not relevant)...
...completely out of my depth here...
...starting to ramble, so I'm going to stop now.
If you have any questions, take a cookie and have a seat. I'll be with you in a moment!
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
lord grant me the strength to accept the plot lines i cannot change
courage to continue to watch the show
and wisdom to remember i am not a member of the psychotic part of the fandom
amen
Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford on the set of Empire Strikes Back

Snow: The curse is broken! All I need is to find Charming and—
Snow: What
Snow: Didn't I have like two more feet of hair?
Snow: Did anyone else get a haircut, or is it just—yeah. It's just me.
Snow: What the hell, Regina?
Regina: EVERYTHING YOU LOVE

Born we are between the hard black rock
And the cold of the immortal
Torn from cause from the flames of the brave
And the bosom we can’t return to.
