Ugh, I am not even sick anymore, why am I tired? :P

Sometimes-painful dialogue aside, I am ... intrigued, perhaps, is the word? Belle and Rumpelstiltskin are the first recognizable story that genuinely failed to work out even before Regina's curse took effect - granted, Hansel and Gretel are supposedly wandering around the fairytale-verse still looking for their father, but they did take out the witch first. Henry's book is the "historical document" of the fairytale world, y/y? Does it seriously relate the tale of Beauty and the Beast ending with the beast kicking Beauty out after she tries to break the curse and he doesn't let her? I suppose it's possible we haven't finished the story yet, but judging by Gold's reaction to Belle's father in Maine-verse, I'm guessing he never saw Belle again after the queen told him she'd killed herself.

I mean, I guess we already knew the book was unorthodox, given that it has bandit!Snow White defeating trolls, but still. Yikes.

Anyway! I am with Belle in spirit, but whoever wrote her lines did it wretchedly and with far too much self-congratulatory awareness, imo; it came out so clunky. D: But I loved the chipped cup (could they have squeezed any more references to the Disney movie in there?), and the curtain thing, and, okay, the fall-down-catch bit was kind of silly, but whatever! It was cute. (I'm kind of a sucker for optimists paired with people who are ... thrown off, at best, by the idea that this tingly sensation might be happiness. Early-season Gabrielle/Xena, I am looking at you.) I assume Rumpelstiltskin is going to be the Draco of this fandom after this ep, if he wasn't already. And at least his manpain is over the loss of a son, instead of a dead/kidnapped/ruinated daughter.

Also, whoever they got to play Gaston, his line delivery was hilarious.

In other news, I accidentally DEVOURED the first two seasons of H2O. I meant to make icons for [community profile] halfamoon, but I haven't even gotten through all my caps of the pilot (and already have dozens, but still!). /o\ Failed again! But my auction stories for [livejournal.com profile] seta_suzume and [livejournal.com profile] green_wing are coming along all right, so. At least there's that.

- Both fics for [livejournal.com profile] seta_suzume
- First story for [livejournal.com profile] green_wing, and get in touch re: numbers
- Murphy/Luccio Eagle fusion for [community profile] genretwisting
- Yue/Zuko arranged marriage fic so [personal profile] idriya will leave me alone
- That one Newsies demon possession story
- LttE! (Aside from chapter, also update timeline, character notes, maps, outlines)

why aren't there more hours in a daaaaaaaay

Yeah, there is so much I like about Once Upon a Time, and then . . . there's the dialogue.

I still haven't gotten over "I don't want my pain to be erased. As wretched as it is, I need my pain, it makes me who I am. It makes me grumpy."

Someone should be paying these actors bad-script bonuses.
