I haven’t seen this show in like ten years, so this is my first re-watch (second time seeing it) and I’m at the end of season 5 and I honestly just forgot how many women this man has bagged lol

And I know there’s more … 🤣😭

that Baelfire was to become Henry's father?

Isn't he supposed to see everything? He knew about Emma and as I recall he knows about Henry - like who he is and how important he is?

How come he didn't know Baelfire would have a child with the saviour?

Well, it looks like Kilby finally made the decision to end the facade and kill the organization. I hope people find there way here to form a community of writers. I still think the core idea of the challenge is sound, and it seems to have been a positive force for most participants over the decades. It's sad to see it go, but I'm glad there are places to keep the spirit of the thing alive.

I accept the creators' attempt to portray Rumple as a coward... but I don't like the examples they show.

First: Rumple cries all the time as a child. According to the creators, it's because he's a coward who's always afraid... but fuck! He's just a child! His father is always at the pub and his mother abandoned him. No wonder he's afraid.

Second: Rumple got maimed in the war and that's supposed to be a sign of cowardice. But someone on reddit wrote that Rumple maimed himself to be with his son. And I think the same thing. What's cowardly about a man wanting to see his child grow up? Do you know what I would give to have a father like Rumple? One who would be willing to maim himself just to protect me? If that's cowardice, then I guess I don't know the meaning of the word.

Third: When Rumple wasn't dark one and his wife ran off with Hook. Hook said he'd give her back to him if he fought him with swords. But Rumple never held a sword and Hook looked (and even was) experienced. So it was a pre-planned fight. He tried to at least beg Hook but he sent him to the barn saying he was a coward because he didn't fight for his wife.

And now please explain to me what kind of logic is it that I, as an experienced swordsman and captain, challenge a guy to a duel who has obviously only heard of swords but never held one and who is limping and can barely stand, and I, who am as agile as a doe, call him a coward after he refuses to fight me? Rumple refused to fight because he knew it was a lost battle. I don't think there's anything cowardly about that, it just happened to be smart. Hook was a coward when he challenged a man who could barely stand to a duel, and especially when he told David that he didn't beat up disabled people.

And may I also point out that this coward was willing to go beg for mercy for his wife? the woman who had been humiliating him all this time?

If he was really that big of a coward, he wouldn't have gone there at all.

And fourth: the Hordor thing. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about.

The creators tried to make us feel like Rumple was such a coward that he would kiss that idiot Hordor's shoe in front of his son. But you know what? Rumple is great in this scene. The guy humbled himself to protect his son. He was willing to give up his own dignity for him.

Okay. You don't have to agree with me. Feel free to write back and tell me I'm stupid, and that all of this is cowardice, and that I'm just giving him credit he doesn't deserve, but you know what? I'll stand my ground. As I wrote, I don't mind the creators' idea of ​​making Rumple a coward. I mind the examples they showed us.

S1 they were cursed, and S2 there was magic in town they and a lot of family drama that got some quality (unlike the Emma- Snow-Malefcient drama) so all fitted her character. Emma in later seasons feels off, after Zelena arrival I always had the feeling she should just break the 4th wall and say "I shouldn't be here".

I'm sure someone else has voiced an opinion about this but it bugs me to NO end that Emma continues trying to run away from Storybrooke and uses Henry's lack of memories as an excuse.

Ignoring the fact that Regina is his mother too and Emma doesn't muster up the courage to tell her, this is Henry's family and if he had his memories, he would want to stay.

Emma is acting completely selfishly, all she wants is to run from magic and her responsibility which I get but to hurt EVERYONE in the process and to hide behind "it's not safe for Henry" is kind of disgusting to me.

I love Emma and I want to side with her because I get where she's coming from, generally, but I can't on this one.

She shows no sympathy for Hook, her parents, Regina, or anyone else she's effectively abandoning and it's so weird to me that she would be so selfish.

I read it not too long ago.

It was a Harry Potter x Hermione with tropes and a soul bond as I recall.

The main thing I remember was that the soul bond was kept secret.

And toward the end of the story Ginny found out that Harry and Hermione were married, but didn’t know they had a soul bond.

So, Ginny brewed a potion.

This special potion had a Latin name and was brewed under the full moon.

It would turn any love a drinker had for a person into hatred.

Also, if drank, the effects are permanent.

In the story, brewing this potion was punishable by going to prison in azkaban.

There was a trial scene and everything.

Harry never ended up drinking the potion.

Dobby had heard Ginny talking about it and warned them.

I am almost done reading Blindness and am loving it!

The adventure, the romance, powerful Harry and Hermione, good family around them, and so much more.

I am looking for something along the veins of this, with a bit more smut if possible.

Sorry if this is kind of vague.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone!

Sorry for the delay in the application process, I was out of town and very behind. I just approved a bunch of new users today and over the last few months.

If anyone wants to introduce themselves, ask for recommendations, get help, etc feel free to reply. I would love to hear more about the people in our little community here!

Enjoy!

Tom gazes at Ginny over Harry's shoulder, smirking triumphantly. He quickly flashes her the middle finger before drawing Harry into a kiss.

He has never been to engage in snogging in front of people.

But he has a statement to make, a furious bint to warn off from what's his. If needs must.
