#ouat 7

Here's Rumbelle's afterlife reunion for ya. :D (And thank you. I'm working on it!)

It was kind of bothering me that this scene is so short (but still so powerful) so let me just quickly break it down. Robin was just informed by her aunt and her mother that there is a coven of some of the most dangerous witches in the area who are up to something unknown. She knows about the threat and the first thing she wants to do is to rush off to warn Alice. Except she doesn't say Alice because of course OUAT wants a nice ol' shocker when we see who Alice's love is. But who knows that the end of that sentence is definitely going to be Alice? Zelena. THAT MEANS that Robin has talked about Alice enough for Zelena to know right where her daughter's sentence is going (I'm literally so here for the Zelena/Robin bond. Sorry, getting distracted). But just imagine Robin rushing home from a date or anniversary with Alice and just being excited from spending time with her love and instantly spilling it all to Zelena. The other thing is, the coven is literally out and plotting. It's been established. But who is still ready to risk life and limb for love? Robin Pistachio Mills, that's who. I think this shows a lot about her, especially my biggest personality theory: that she inherits her charm and romanticism from her dad. I'm betting she's gonna be the type of person who if Alice mentions craving an apple, she's going to chop down an apple tree so Alice can have as many apples as she wants. Just because Robin hasn't had too many lines doesn't mean we can't see her character shine through.

Look noni noni, I won’t stop writing CS, but that doesn’t mean I won’t write something else... if you check my page, I have written TinkerHook, both AU and canon versions of them. I don’t know what is going to happen, tbh, but I think you also need to understand and respect a writer’s want/need to explore other options as well.   I have systematically written CS for more than 3 years at this point.   3 years,  20 multichapters, 90+ oneshots, and I think at least 20 or 30 gifset/picsets. I think it’s been a good run... don’t you? I might want take a breather for a while.  It doens’t mean we don’t like the ship anymore, it’s just that sometimes people want to explore something different, especially after years of writing the same ship.

In all fair honesty, chances to make me despise  be relunctant to CS lie more with some portions of the fandom than with the show doing a new LI for an alternative version of Killian.
