"An Apple Red as Blood"

Well. That was certainly a jam packed pre-Season Final episode.
Are any of you not flailing? How many of you predicted the things?

Ongoing Fairy Tale Backstory

[the_fairest]

Okay, so we just got what looked like the first mini-war against The Queen! (Because obviously, this isn't the war that kicked her out, for her wedding anger, as she's still in her castle come the end, and James is still captured in a cell.)

We've updated our backstory with The Fairies, Red & Granny, The Seven Drawves, King George, Regina, Daniel, Snow & Charming. Plus, we've gotten The Apple, The Reveal of Daniel's death over a decade later and fun Mirror play.

Go for it you guys. There's so much!

Red!

Red bringing the awesome, you guys! First, she knows Snow really damn well ('you're too noble for your own good'); second, she has to have better control over the wolf now, or she wouldn't take the risk.
(I for one am totally happy to let her learn that in Milliways.)

JILL. JILL. BESTEST OF FRIENDS. WITH KNOWING EACH OTHER, TALKING TO EACH OTHER, TALKING TO EACH OTHER WHEN THE OTHER IS NOT THERE. RED'S FACE WHEN SHE'S LEANING OVER SNOW'S BODY.

Jill. Bestest little girl friends. *squishes the two of them*

THEY ARE THE BFFS.
And sometime after the finale I think I will finally have a bead on when I want to toss Red in (and I am totes still game for Snow tagging along and going 'oh, we're cool, it's Milliways!'; in fact, that'll probably help Red be more comfortable with it). Plot With Rocks In will be wrapping this coming weekend ish and I'll sort it from there.

Re: Red!

[the_fairest]

I'm still so game for this!

Charming!

[the_fairest]

Two important notes:


1. In Storybrooke, Mary Margaret is the one who has more faith than David (never wavering vs. David's wavering in the jail due to TFL memories), and in The Fairytale Land, it's James who tells Snow White to have faith.

2. HOLYGODYGUYS JAMES IS GRABBING HIS CHEST WHILE SNOW FALLS TO THE GROUND ON THE HILL. HOWEVER FAR AWAY, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN ALL OUR LOVE STORIES, WE'VE SEEN IT COMPLETELY EFFECT THE OTHER PERSON. GUYS. HE'S CLUTCHING HIS HEART AND KNOWING SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAS HAPPENED TO SNOW WHITE AT THAT VERY MOMENT.

Daniel - The Evil Queen & Snow White

[the_fairest]

I'm not done flailing. I'm not even close. We've all been assuming when the dialogue in "Snow Falls" had:

Prince Charming: So, what did you do to incur that much wrath?
Snow White: She blames me for ruining her life.
Prince Charming: Did you?
Snow White: Yes.

So the whole world has been assuming this was in reference to Daniel, with no idea when Snow White finds out about him, since the end of "Stable Boy" she still doesn't know. Except SUDDENLY we figure out she finds out here. Months and months after this conversation took place.


GUYS. SNOW HAS BEEN OWNING SINCE SHE WAS A CHILD THAT SHE MADE REGINA'S LIFE A HORRIBLE PLACE JUST BY BEING HERSELF. NOT FOR ACTUALLY DOING ANYTHING. THAT SHE'S BEEN CHASED DOWN, AND ATTEMPTED TO BE KILLED, AND HER FATHER HAS BEEN KILLED, FOR HER LIFE, FOR GETTING REGINA INTO THIS LIFE.

AKSJKSJDHFJHSDFJHDSFKJH My baby has some noble ownership issues.

(Oh. God. Red. How very well you really do know her.)

The Castle Storming

[the_fairest]

Uh, an odd last minute, before I sleep question.


So they storm King George's castle, and beat up King George's gaurds, and Snow makes it to King George's dungeon to find James not there in his cells, has her tete-e-tete with the mirror/James/Evil Queen, and then divests herself of all her weapons on King George's table (which is the table that is later hers, and in Midas' Hall too) --



Where is King George while all this is happening?

Re: The Castle Storming

[minkhollow]

When in doubt, Regina did it. That's what I'm going with for now.
