Favorite OUAT Characters: LOL, Rumbelle, obvs! I also love Lana, I mean Regina is a bitca but I love it when Lana is on screen. Ditto for Hook--LOVE the actor, not so much the character. Oh and young Cora ♥
Favorite OUAT Episode: Skin Deep (predictable, I know!)
Favorite OUAT Quote: Oh crikey...uh anything with Rum saying "dearie" makes my heart flutter happily... I love Belle's proclamations about love and steadfastness, LOVE when Rum said "that's the last time I don't listen to you" :)
Why do you ship Rumbelle? Mostly, it's the actors who breathed such life into the pairing, but I also love how the fairytale was handled in Skin Deep, with the kinda forced situation but then he was a perfect gentleman--well, okay, there was a dungeon, but he didn't try to *hit* on her, and how she won his heart, not by being weak and feminine-wibbly, but by being so strong, so irrepressibly Belle
Any other OUAT 'ships? Honestly, I ship Rum with anyone. I can see Emma/Gold, Cora/Rumple, lots of things. I kinda want some UST for Belle with Hook just so she can reject him and he has to come to regret all the ways in which he hurt her.
It's my secret shame, and I wouldn't want them to get together romantically, but I surprised myself with how much I REALLY want Bae to step up and protect Belle when Rum is absent.
Other fandoms: Buffy, Angel, Star Trek, Battlestar, West Wing, Hunger Games, Doctor Who, Breaking Bad, Downton Abbey...but really I have only the time and effort to be a *focused* fangirl for one thing at a time, and right now it's OUaT for Rumbelle!
Friending policy: Love 'em! Friend away! ♥ I always friend back, but I work long hours and have young kids so forgive me if I don't always keep up with the friend's list/dash.
What can we expect from your journal? Right now it's just a fandom LJ, so anything I want to remember or "have" from Rumbelle. Occasional fanfic too as I try to find time to finish my many Rumbelle and Anyelle WIPs! I actually don't post often, so I won't clog up your flist! But I do try to comment when I can, LJ is more my medium than tumblr, I like the communicative dimension. I like the pretty things on tumblr but I can't pretend to understand quite how it works.
Anything else?: I know my Rumbelle fics are few, but I've written a lot in other fandoms (and in what feels like other lives!) and had quite a following. This journal is a fresh start, because while I met some really lovely fangirl friends, it got a bit claustrophobic. I think I'm more comfortable being a nobody!
I LOVE Robert Carlyle. I get a bit tetchy when OUaT isn't all it could be in terms of writing because he deserves better, so I'm not always very nice about OUaT as a show. I won't spew negativity in your LJ, I promise (or at least it will be under a cut!) I'm just watching for Rumbelle. I love meta conversations about how things could be BETTER written.
Also, err, watch for warnings on possible future kinky!Rumbelle smut fic!

Date: 2014-02-06 04:36 am (UTC)I guess I'll give this a go and hope I do it right.
Name/Age/Location: JL/25/Texas
Favorite OUAT Characters: Belle is basically my all time favorite but of course I can't forget Rumple & Bae, so the FLOOF family in general I guess.
Favorite OUAT Episode: Oh man, despite the few in between that we get I really love Lacey and The Outsider as well as any Rumbelle fluff I can get.
Favorite OUAT Quote: "You can't keep us apart forever. I'll fight for him. I'll never stop fighting for him!" - Belle from the Outsider
Why do you ship Rumbelle? I guess a lot of it has to do with my love for the fairytale of La Belle et la Bête (Beauty and the Beast) as well as the Disney version in which I watched so much as a child that my dad knows all the lines even 20 years later. I also love the chemistry that Bobby & Emilie bring to Rumbelle as well as their own characters, it's not something you see a lot of the time.
Any other OUAT 'ships? I do like Sleeping Warrior but the writers seemed to shot that down.
Other fandoms: STAR WARS is probably my all time fandom but there is also Daria, Harry Potter, Star Trek (new movies so no I'm not a true Star Trek fan), and Disney animated movies.
Friending policy: Be over the age of 18 and respectful to myself as well as my friends.
What can we expect from your journal? My life, the occasional fandom an music posts as well as book reviews.
Anything else?: I'm looking forward to meeting new people!

Date: 2014-02-07 02:00 am (UTC)"You can't keep us apart forever. I'll fight for him. I'll never stop fighting for him!"
oh gosh YES! So passionate, heart-rending, I just LOVE her voice. "An accent you'd not soon forget" indeed ♥
Oh Sleeping Warrior *pines* I wish they had allowed that to breathe before strangling it. I feel like the scene were she tells Mulan she's pregnant was the showrunners' response to questions as to why in 3 seasons everything was so het--they simultaneously threw us a bone then snatched it away. Grrrr.
no subject
Date: 2014-02-07 02:24 am (UTC)I generally only ship one pair in a show but for some reason Sleeping Warrior really slipped in there and again like Emilie & Bobby, Jamie and Sarah have such wonderful chemistry.
no subject
Date: 2014-02-06 06:12 pm (UTC)Favorite OUAT Characters: Rumple and Belle are obviously my favorites. Rumple was from the moment he crawled out of the ceiling in the pilot, but then I also fell in love with Belle. Other characters I really adore are Grumpy, Granny, Archie, and Neal.
Favorite OUAT Episode: Skin Deep...stunner, I know. But that's followed by Lacey, The Outsider, and the Crocodile.
Favorite OUAT Quote: Ironically, not a Rumple one...though there are many of his quotes I love. My favorite is still "Murder is a bad first impression."
Why do you ship Rumbelle? I am a long time fan of Beauty and the Beast stories, going back to my start in the Phantom fandom in 1990. So there's that aspect. But there's just so much THERE. The chemistry between the actors. Rumple's vulnerability and loneliness. Belle's bravery and strength. I love how SHE takes the lead in the relationship. I get all weepy when I think about their relationship.
Any other OUAT 'ships? Not to the degree of Rumbelle, but I do have a special fondness for Grumpy/Nova, Swanfire, and Sleeping Warrior.
Other fandoms: Nothing I am currently involved in, but other fandoms that have been a big part of my life are Phantom of the Opera (this is more likely to make a showing on my journal than anything else), Pirates of the Caribbean (Sparrabeth shipper), Star Trek: TNG, Caroline in the City (yeah I'm a dork), DragonLance (Raistlin/Crysania), and V for Vendetta.
Friending policy: I love new friends and will friend anyone back who friends me!!
What can we expect from your journal? A mix of stuff. I do post some fandom stuff (and post more now that I have some Rumbelle fans on my list), but I also talk about my dog a lot. I chronicle our agility training (which I always keep behind a cut because most people aren't interested in it) and post a lot of photos of dogs. I'm going to try to break into being a semi-pro canine photographer in the spring. And of course, random life stuff.
Anything else? I'm getting married this summer, but it's SUUUUPER low key so there won't be big discussions of dresses or wedding stuff. We're doing a courthouse thing and a picnic the next day so...no big deal. We've been together almost 9 years. I'm pretty (ok super) liberal, so a big supporter of things like gay marriage. But that doesn't spill over into my journal TOO much. I have a hair-trigger temper (we all love Mr. Gold right? lol) and so occasionally I get angry and post about the things I'm mad about. I'm hard of hearing so you'll get a bit about that experience too. So...that's me in a nutshell I think. There's an "about me" post that anyone who adds me can read!

Date: 2014-02-07 01:56 am (UTC)I didn't know you were a super liberal too, that's me for sure ♥
"Murder is a bad first impression." LOL! Oh I loved that one, the deadpan delivery was flawless.
Sleeping Warrior! I'd forgotten those two, but I loved them. They seem so compartmentalized I don't think of them as being in the same show most of the time.

Date: 2014-02-07 02:29 am (UTC)I would be amazed if you could find such great space for Dahlia to run about in NYC.
I love that quote, it has such an impact because Rumple is really trying to control himself about a very amnesia Belle.
For a while I did enjoy Swanfire but I feel so sad because there is now a triangle so I left that mess behind.
Congrats on the wedding, how wonderful♥

Date: 2014-02-12 07:24 pm (UTC)Favorite OUAT Characters: Mr. Gold/Rumpel, Belle, Emma, Neal, Regina, and the late Sheriff Graham
Favorite OUAT Episode: Skin Deep, Desperate Souls, the Pilot, Child of the Moon, The Crocodile, The Outsider, S2 season finale
Favorite OUAT Quote: “Now step aside, dearie. Please.” –Mr. Gold to Regina in the pilot, as he throws away his apple.
Why do you ship Rumbelle? I love the actors and their chemistry on-screen obliterates anyone else and I thought it was a beautiful retelling of my favourite fairy tale. Add to that they’re the only couple to actually remain true to each other despite adversity and, quite, frankly, I am unable to picture either character with anyone else.
Any other OUAT 'ships? Emma/Neal. I always liked the idea. Possibly Hook and Emma but I’m still having a hard time with that one because I feel they’re being too heavy-handed with it.
Other fandoms: LOTR, Myst, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, SHERLOCK, MCU Thor (I ship Loki/Jane, you have been warned).
Friending policy: 18 and over and respectful
What can we expect from your journal? It’s a pretty quiet place as I don’t spend huge amounts of time online, but I’ll post my fanfic from various fandoms, interesting vids I find, and stuff. But you’re welcome.
Anything else?: I don’t read or write smut. Sorry :)

Date: 2014-02-13 07:54 pm (UTC)shallowcurious to see how they manage to film it from what I've heard of the content!I love your favorite quote. RC and Lana spark off each other SOOOOO well, I am riveted to the screen when they are both on it. SO much delicious sass.
>>their chemistry on-screen obliterates anyone else and I thought it was a beautiful retelling of my favourite fairy tale. Add to that they’re the only couple to actually remain true to each other despite adversity and, quite, frankly, I am unable to picture either character with anyone else. >>
OH YES THIS ALL OF THIS! Their chemistry really does make everyone else pale in comparison, and it's true, they DO remain true to each other, despite allllll the cr2p they have gone through, and still are going through. I'm going to be soooo unimpressed if Belle is left to suffer thinking Rumple dead for a significant length of time. I want no more than the minimum amount of time to allow Belle and Bae to bond in their mourning, and for Bae to step up and take care of her, so they can have a dynamic external to their mutual connection to Rum. Then I want my duo reunited, they've suffered enough contrived separation by this point.
I've added you, hello new friend!
