what a coincidence, @pinchtheprincess​, that’s the mutual YOU are to ME, too! 😁🎉

I love your blog too! 💞 I took “honey in the lion” from a quote from the book Hannibal. It’s in a letter Hannibal writes to Clarice.

Name: Grace 

Gender: Female

Birthday: July 6, 1995, so I’m 23 years old going on 24 now. It feels like my generation is getting old so fast! Like, I can’t believe that Hilary Duff, Zac Efron,Taylor Swift, Vanessa Hudgens, Drake Bell, Josh Peck, Emmy Rossum, Lea Michele, Ashley Tisdale Dianna Agron, and Amanda Bynes are already in their early thirties! I can’t believe Miley Cyrus, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Selena Gomez, Emma Roberts, Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, Victoria Justice, Sophie Turner, Ariana Grande,  Emma Watson, Jennifer Lawrence, Freddie Highmore, Joe Jonas, Miranda Cosgrove, Anna Sophia Robb, Debbie Ryan, Jaimie Lynn Spears, and Dakota Fanning are all around the same age as me! I can’t believe we’re already in our mid twenties to early thirties! It feels like our childhoods were not that long ago, even though they were over ten years ago! It still feels like I didn’t watch Hannah Montana, The Amanda Show, Sonny with a Chance, The Wizards of Waverley Place, Drake and Josh, Zoey 101, iCarly, Because of Winn Dixie, Hairspray (2007), The Bridge to Terabethia, The Suite Life of Zac and Cody, Jessie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), Glee, the High School Musical films, Victorious, Unfabulous, Sharkboy and LavaGirl, The Lizzie McGuire series, The Phantom of the Opera, The Twilight Saga, and the Harry Potter movies on TV and in movie theaters when I was a kid growing up with these guys that long ago! I still remember singing You Belong With Me, Teardrops on My Guitar, Love Story, Picture to Burn, Boyfriend, Our Song, Baby, Never Say Never, One Less Lonely Girl, and buying my friend in high school a Justin Bieber album for her birthday because she was obsessed with him back in 2012! I remember being a stupid kid in middle school and high school who thought she was so smart because she managed to read all four of the trashy Twilight novels by Stephanie Meyer in less than a year!!! I remember how fucking stupid I was as a kid for idolizing Edward Cullen’s and Bella Swan’s romance!!! I’ve matured so much since then, we all have, but it still feels like our childhoods/teenage years weren’t that long ago! We’re still relatively young adults! A lot of people older who are over thirty five, would still call us kids, but it feels like we’ve grown/are growing up so damn fast!!! It still feels like we should be babies!!! I think a great thing about those of us in our generation though is just how young most of us still look in our twenties to early thirties for our age!!! Like, I still look the same as I did seven years ago when I was sixteen at nearly twenty-four! Selena Gomez, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande, Victoria Justice,Taylor Swift, Kristen Stewart, Justin Bieber, Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efron, Emma Watson, Emmy Rossum, and Freddie Highmore still mostly look the same as they did over ten years ago! We’re the generation that seems to age well and/or barely age at all, so long as we take care of ourselves! We’re the age of vampires!! Relationship Status: Single, in the romantic sense, but I have my parents, my brothers, my grandparents, my aunt and my little cousins, and a cat for family.

Favorite Color(s): Any shade of pink, red, or blue

Top 3 Ships:

1). Rumbelle (Rumplestiltskin x Belle) from ABC’s Once Upon A Time, but with conditions. I love how much they love each other, and would do anything for each other when they are both in-character. I’m also a sucker for the whole “love redeems” and BATB tropes in fiction, but they also tend to be the ones that the writers love to fuck up deliberately for shits ad giggles at some point on TV shows when they get bored or lazy. That’s why I only accept their individual characters or relationship together when they are both written in-character, so mostly from S1-3A of canon OUAT and in various canon-divergent/AU scenarios thereafter. However, I feel like the same thing can be said about every other remaining main character/ ship in canon OUAT post 3A. There was a serious nosedive in characterization, consistency, and storytelling integrity after Neal got killed off in canon OUAT, and while there were moments where Rumple, Belle, Emma, and everyone else seemed to be like the characters and relationships I originally fell in love with in canon from 3B-S7, I still feel like the show truly ended most organically and satisfyingly with “Going Home” (3x11), and there were serious problems with the writing starting to show with plot versus character driven writing, rape culture, abuse apology, broken rules of magic, plotholes, and character favoritism, even before 3B in S2. But after Neal got killed off, Hook became the main lead, and they started resurrecting the dead with magic when it suited the plot, they clearly didn’t know what the fuck they were doing anymore, and weren’t trying to tell any sort of story at all by undoing everyone’s original characterizations for plot back-and-forth.Everyone was ruined by illogically ooc, inconsistent, and toxic character destroying plot driven inexcusably bad writing that made absolutely no sense, which made them all unsympathetic and unrecognizable from 3B-S7 at one point or another, including Emma, Belle, the Charmings, and Henry, the “good guys,” so I try to pretend it never happened, and quit watching regularly after S5 to preserve my sanity.

2). Jane Eyre x Mr. Edward-Fairfax Rochester from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte-Again, I’m a sucker for the whole “love redeems” trope in fiction, and I appreciate how Edward is portrayed as the “dark” one, while Jane is the “virtuous” one, but neither one of them are without their flaws that go unaddressed, which is a big problem with a lot of “love redeems” couples. Their conflicts become hypocritically one-sided. 

3). Anne Shirley x Gilbert Blythe from the Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery-These two started out as frenemies, then became best friends in childhood and adolescence, and then eventually got married. The perfect love story!

Last Song I Listened To: I watched and listened to the Hairspay (2007) musical-comedy film adaptation on Netflix with Nikki Blonsky, Amanda Bynes, John Travolta, Zac Efron, Queen Latifah, Christopher Walken, Michelle Pfeiffer, Brittany Snow, James Marsden, Elijah Kelley, and Allison Janney, and have been jamming out to Miss Baltimore Crabs, The Ladies’ Choice, Good Morning Baltimore, I Can Hear the Bells, You Can’t Stop the Beat,  Welcome to the ‘60s, Run and Tell That, Big, Blonde and Beautiful, and Without Love a lot since remembering the music again. Does that count?

Last Movie I Watched: The Silence of the Lambs (1991) with Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins on Netflix.

replied to your post “What is it with me and shipping grumpy older Scottish men with bright...”

Wait, four? I see the two . . . .what are the other two?

That was either amazing or stupid of impulsive-as-all-hell Belle to do that. I'm always torn between the two of them. :-D No offense to the Belle defense squad. I love her, it's just...super powerful witch who can either kill you with a snap of her fingers, OR order your bf to kill you and he'll be forced to comply? Taking a ridiculous risk, there. Can you imagine? :-O

I think I made that joke yesterday, already, but... “or”?

Really, by this point, it’s well-established that Belle may have just the teensiest tendency to jump first and wonder “wait, how far down is this?” later. Again: she had a fight with her boyfriend, so she climbed out a window. Didn’t think that would be such a character-defining moment, but here we are *g*

I will as soon as the chapter is written, love! Writing takes me a long time though, so I’m sorry for the wait. But here’s the very start of Chapter 8, for you and all my other lovely readers <3

“You what?” Clarke asks, incredulous. Not only is the very concept of ‘rescuing’ her ridiculous, announcing such a plan in the middle of a room of politicians, surrounded by guards, is the absolute most foolish thing Clarke can think of. Octavia simply shrugs, but Bellamy finally gathers his wits and has the decency to look chagrined.

“Octavia!” Bellamy scolds her quickly, to which Octavia rolls her eyes, and then turns back to Clarke and the gathering. “That’s not what she means, of course. We’re here as representatives of Skaikru, to negotiate Clarke’s return to Arkadia.”

Silence swims through the room, and Clarke tries not to be too disappointed in her friends’ actions. But coming here was a mistake, with the idea of bringing her back when she could have left so many days ago, and announcing it in front of the court? Clarke can already hear the whispers, she knows she’ll be navigating an even more treacherous minefield in the coming days, trying to redeem herself and Skaikru from this. She needs to start now, with the perfect response, but what could she say? It has to be something that shows she stands with her Azgeda allies, while also not making her a traitor to her people, and attempting to make Skaikru seem stronger than their current image of needing one person desperately enough to bargain for them…

Clarke’s attempts to find the right words are thrown away as the silence breaks in front of a raucous laugh. Clarke turns slightly to see Bran clutching his stomach and chortling.

When did Aurora kiss Hook???

@scribbles-by-kate one of the bestest, but I am still anticipating 2x[redacted], based on what sieben9 has been saying about [redacted]! Eeeeeee! ::bounces in chair::
