Come morning light

That’s why I always wanted to be a Nazgul.

Olicity fandom:

Yet, still, it is overwhelming to me that Once gave us its first and only musical episode in celebration of Killian and Emma’s wedding, and her journey to this point. In a million years who would have guessed that - for the episode we’ve all waited all these years to see - that you could buy and sing along with songs that were written to mark the occasion! 

How To Tell If You Are In A High Fantasy Novel

[via The Toast]

The Elders would like a word with you.

The Ritual is about to begin.

Something that has not happened in a thousand years is happening.

You are going to the City. There is only one City. It is only said with a capital C. No one needs to bother saying the name of the City. It is the City.

Certain members of the Council are displeased with your family’s recent actions.

A bard is providing occasional comic relief; no one hired or invited him and his method of earning a living is unclear.

The High Priest is not to be trusted.

Someone is eating an apple mockingly.

There is one body of water. It is called the Sea. The Great Sea, if you are feeling fancy.

You live in a region with no major exports, no centralized government, no banking system, a mysteriously maintained network of roads, and little to no job training for anyone who is not a farmer.

You have red hair. You wear it in a braid. Your father was a simple man, and you don’t remember much about him – he died when you were so young – but you remember his strong hands, as he fished or carpentered or whatever it was that he used to do with them.

You’re going to have to hurry, or you’re going to miss the Fair – and you never miss the Fair.

There is trouble at the Citadel.

Your full name has at least one apostrophe in it.

It is the first page, and you are already late for something. Your mother affectionately chides you as you gulp down a few spoonfuls of porridge; she will be dead by page forty-two.

There are two religions in your entire universe. One is a thinly veiled version of Islam. It is only practiced by villains. The other is “being a Viking.” You are a Viking.

There are new ways in the land that threaten the Old Way. Your grandmother secretly practices the Old Way, as do all of the people of the hills.

Look at this angsty motherfucker. He’s so downcast and scared and sad that he has to tell her. But Emma thinks all of that is his fear of proposing. She thinks he’s afraid she won’t say yes so incredibly excited as she is, she takes the step for him and shows him the ring.

Killian reassures her he can’t be mad at her and Emma just fucking opens up like she hasn’t opened up before.

Look at her. She’s basically ready to propose herself. She gives him the ring and smiles at him with tears in her eyes, waiting for him to propose. And Killian sees that. He sees how excited she is and he knew how she used to be. She was a lost girl with walls up, with fears and insecurities. Killian had seen right through them and was happy to help her overcome them.

And now he sees her honestly overcoming them, right in front of him.

The woman who was scared that a happy ending isn’t in the cards for her is now patiently waiting for him to propose to her. And that’s just GREATLY FUCKING HUGE for Emma Swan and he knows that. He knows how important that moment is for her and how hard she’s worked to allow herself that. To allow herself to hope in the future, a happy one, for both of them.

And I think that’s what makes him let go.

He’s happy for her, proud of her, eternally in love with her and he can’t simply ignore the huge step she took. So he kneels. (I mean fuck, even in their engagement Emma was the one who took the first step)

But look at him. His face just gives everything off. It’s like he gave himself up for her to judge and punish him, as if he’s at her complete mercy. He knows, oh Heavens above, he knows how fucked up this all is but he can’t just tell her the truth now that she literally brought down all of her walls. She deserves that. A happy proposal, even if it turns bitter later. Because she was the one to walk out on him, he always stayed. If he walked out on her now, it would break her.

Yes, that’s what she deserves. Not some coward running away right when she’s finally over her fears.

And God damn it she is so happy it makes me wanna cry.

The lost girl found home. The home she chose to have, with a pirate who will never stop fighting for her happiness. And to her it’s just that moment where she can finally lean back and say “It’s finally over” and start living her happy ending/beginning. And he sees that.

He’s happy for her, that even for a little while, she got what she deserved so much. Until he thinks about how little he deserves that.

Felicity walking into her first undercover mission, nervous and scared.

Violets aren’t blue more purple, I’d say There’s even a hue that carries their name!

Some roses are red but others are not so what they said confused me a lot

A rhyme of this kind ought to be true so I hope you don’t mind I wrote it anew:

Your jacket is red My eyes are blue I’d pillage and plunder Only with you
