KeymasterThat fic is the perfect palate cleanser for the absolute hogwash nonsense that was S5A overall and especially 5×11.

KeymasterIn other news, I finished watching Jessica Jones. I’d like to make it mandatory viewing for A and E (and the whole writing staff) but only if they let me binge-watch it with them so I can point out how Kilgrave *is* Hook but that in the hands of smart, capable, intelligent, and in the know writers, he is not woobified and made into a romantic lead but instead left as a sociopath who represents male privilege and who embodies rape culture and, furthermore, how women do not fall for such creatures but fight them BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD WANT TO BE IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE WHO VIEWS THEM AS OBJECTS.
*ahem*
I may have some thoughts after finishing the show.
(god, no but really. parallels. parallels all over the place)

ParticipantOkay, so I had a very weird OUaT dream last night. I was watching the show, when it became apparent that A/E were scraping from the bottom of the barrel and had incorporated Cats into the storyline. Yes. The musical.
Anyway, they were singing “Memories” in the EF, and the camera went to a little tree village of fairies, and Blue flew by in a white and gold jacket (yes, really). Then Think flew by, chatting with the Fairy Godmother.
Naturally, my reaction was: really, they’ll bring her back but not Neal!?
After that, the camera went back to the cats, then to Rumpel, Emma, and Henry, who were casting a Curse (with whose heart, I’ll never know; probably some loophole). All of this in one shot.
When the smoke cleared, they were in Regina’s vault in SB. And then:
Neal: It’s been a while.
Emma (happy-surprised): Neal!?
Cut to credits. Then I got a poster for the next arc. I’ll follow up with an approximation of that.
Neal’s line may not be exactly what he said, but it was along those lines.

Yaaaas. I had similar thoughts watching JJ, especially in relation to the crazypants CS writing this season.
Also, I recently came across this on Tor, an article on gaslighting and Jessica Jones. Thought folks here might enjoy it.
Here’s a quote to explain the term “gaslighting” — I wasn’t familiar with it before. I think it’s pretty pertinent to OUAT and CS:
For those who may not be familiar, gaslighting is a term that traces its origins to a 1938 play titled <em style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: ‘Georgia Pro W01’, Georgia, serif; line-height: inherit; font-size: 17px; vertical-align: baseline; color: #545353;”>Gas Light (which was also adapted to film twice), a tale of a husband who uses subtle tricks and denials to convince his wife that she is losing her mind. It became a psychological term in the 1960s, the definition being “a form of mental abuse in which information is twisted or spun, selectively omitted to favor the abuser, or false information is presented with the intent of making victims doubt their own memory, perception, and sanity.” It is a devastatingly effective tactic, allowing an abuser to more easily manipulate the subject of their choice.
Also, @Rainbow, thank you for linking that fic. Best thing ever after this disaster of a 1/2 season.

ParticipantMorning!!!!
The 4th chapter is out, is shorter and in my opinion not as funny as the others, although the final part is actually funny(The Henry, Regina and Hades talk about Emma).

You are welcome @Nevermore, the writer has other fics like that, she has some Cs stories as well but most of her stories is about Sf and parody the show seasons.
