Peter should have guessed as much. Storybrooke was a beacon for villains, and the fact Henry had to still go to school? They should at least give the children a few days off when a villain shows off. The older boy shrugs. “I mean, I’d love to help but apparently killing your enemies isn’t allowed here.” And another thing is the fact he was magicless for now until he can get the band off his arm.

Okay not to be controversial or anything, but I’m going to do Snape from Harry Potter. 

I think Snape did have a crush on Lily at some point during their time at Hogwarts, but that later in life it wasn’t necessarily romantic love. It could have been, but I like to think it was just that she was the only person in his life who had ever really been nice to him. So the love could have been friendship love, and that was strong enough to make his Patronus mimic hers. I just like the thought cause it’s sweet. 

Part of Snape being a jerk was him keeping cover. He worked for Dumbledore, and Dumbledore thought Voldemort would come back. Thus he prepared Snape to be a spy if he needed to, and that meant walking a super thin line. He had to look good enough to explain why he wasn’t fired or something, but also had to be just mean enough for him not to be questioned too much when Voldemort did return. So yes a bit of it was him being a jerk, but a lot of it was him acting how he knew he was expected to act so he could trick Voldemort. 

Snape did like Harry on some level. Yes Harry was a lot like his father, which irked Snape (cause who likes to be reminded of their childhood bully?) And yes Harry just ran into trouble in a way that grated on Snape’s nerves. But Harry was also rather nice, and he was his mother’s son. Snape wanted to find good things about Harry and he did. He just didn’t express them cause he didn’t want to blow his cover. 

2. Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?*

R.edBeauty would probably be one, but that’s mostly because the only ship I truly love with Belle is R.umbelle and same with R.umple xD I ship only those two together, but I absolutely adore Ruby and Belle’s friendship and I wish the show gave us more of them, honestly. C.aptainBeauty would probably be another. I did enjoy their friendship, but that’s all. I don’t ship them romantically. I’m pretty sure I do have some others, but those ones came to mind immediately.

9. Most disliked character(s)? Why?

Okay, first I want to apologize to anyone who follows me that roleplays the character I am about to answer with, but it would have to be Z.elena. I don’t like Z.elena AT ALL. She tortured R.umple, she killed B.aelfire and I don’t remember her apologizing for it or showing remorse? (If I’m wrong and she did, I’m sorry), she pretended to be M.arian and even had a child with R.obin while doing so and it was just so wrong and disgusting to me. I don’t understand how that was swept under the rug so quickly, to be honest, and it just seriously bothers me and makes me cringe every time I think of that Robin/Marian stuff or her character in general. I just really don’t like Z.elena for those reasons and more. 

He looks down at his arms full of freshly made and wrapped loaves of bread. The boy had a point. “I do appreciate it, Henry. I do.” It wasn’t really the fact of the boy’s age. Rather the fear of the Mayor that made him and probably others treat the poor boy like a fragile thing.

the first time she meets him, she doesn’t know what to do; here’s this kid - about cj’s age, and harry’s height - who has emma’s keen eyes and an air about him that reminds her of her own mum. (this is before she learns who his pops is and then it all slots into place and makes sense. but we’re not quite there yet.) his smile is sweet and his words are honey on the tongue but his tongue is sharp and his wit is even sharper and harriet’s decided to go to bat for him right there and then, even though it’s decidedly not a good idea because she’s seen battles about territory and she’s seen turf wars; she’s been in some, herself, and this kid looks like he’s been through his own boatload of troubles and he looks ready to fight in any capacity.

he reminds her, a little bit, of the people that she used to know: he reminds her of jay, of gil, and hell, he even reminds her a little bit of harry. which makes it so much harder for her to default back to ‘captain mode’ as cj jokingly calls it. 

they are - in a way - both the oldest and with that comes a lot of responsibility. with that also comes a lot of baggage. (henry, she learns, had to watch his friends stay stagnant for years while he grew, and in return, she tells him about how she grew up and what she had to do to survive.) granted, she omits some of the harsher truths and bends some others, if only to make the way she grew up more palatable because it’s the least she can do for him.

it’s this push and pull that reminds her of before, before she made her way to storybrooke; before she settled in, before she realised that everything might not be what it seems in this town - squeaky clean as it looks. before she realised that she might not have a place here.

the olive branch gets extended in the form of reading x men comics down at the docks.

“ah like th’ woman wit’ th’ accent an’ th’ gloves,” is what she offers at some point and henry turns to her, smiles that brilliant smile that leaves harriet’s heart panging and her insides aching for a family she’ll never see again, for arms that’ll never hold her again, no matter how much she wants to be held. 

(she looks at him and sees her mum in the way he chuckles or defiantly juts out his chin.)
