I find this sad but also oddly comforting
happy captain swan halloween! from Hook, Hook and Tick Tock 🏴☠️🦢🐊🎃
Come into a fandom late. Leave early. Write 100 fics. Write 1. Write none. Read every single fic written in your fandom. Read only your OTP. Write only your OTP. Write every pairing under the sun. Make gifs just for your friends. Make gifs to share with everyone. Make art. Make nothing.
Cheerlead from afar and keep to yourself. Join a groupchat. Yell about headcanons with your friends. Leave kudos. Leave comments. Make fic recs. Bookmark everything. Read or watch and then forget it.
Treat canon like gospel. Treat canon like a dumpster fire. Only read/write/art coffeeshop AUs. Decide your corner will be all hurt no comfort. Decide your corner will be all fluff no angst.
Fandom isn't one size fits all, and there is no one right way to do it. So find what works for you, and don't worry about all of the outside noise. It doesn't matter how everyone else does fandom.
All are welcome.

Ouat 7x22 Knightrook Hug
Look at him rocking his little girl and releasing her carefully as his hook isn’t the best support!
These are the three seconds in the show where these two get a actual hug! I’ll never be over wanting a longer comfort scene. Alice and Papa Killian deserved that after he literally came back from death and they spent the whole season apart. I won’t accept time constraints as there could have been a few snippets to other things cut a few things that lingered on for too long to give more time to this. Like they barely have an onscreen union, after all the danger, that so needed comfort. Still cute!
THEY ASKED IF HE LIKES CATS AND THE ANSWER WAS CUT OUT?
EXCUSE ME THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
DOES HE LIKE CATS?
He does!
But the girl asking was standing there in a cat costume, so he couldn't have said No. 😁
Good enough for me. 😆

Am I crazy? (NO, not for the reasons you're thinking!)
So, earlier, a photo was posted that made me realize I have now seen all my favorite very male actors in a skirt or dress, and I have no no idea what that says about my type, but I clearly had one.
But then I thought, wait, have I seen Colin in a dress? I know he's been in a kilt, but that doesn't count. But I could have sworn there was a picture of baby Colin in a gold dress and make-up? But I can't find it, either because Tumblr search has failed me, or it doesn't exist.
So, am I crazy, or is there a picture of Colin in a gold dress?
The amount of time I have spent looking for this photo. Yes! I KNOW IT EXISTS! He's in a gold dress with blue eye shadow... Maybe??
It's like... A cast photo? During a wrap party?? From his young theatre days???
I KNOW I HAVE IT SAVED SOMEWHERE, DAMMIT!!
Oh, thank goodness, I'm not crazy! Or we're both crazy!
I wouldn't rule the latter out just yet
At least it's mutual insanity. It's more fun to be crazy together.
WE'RE NOT CRAZY!!
Ahhh! You found it!!! Thank you!!! I forgot the magnificent wig. But yay, not crazy!!!
Channeling his inner Dolly Parton decades before working with the icon herself. This outfit is epic and prophetic 😆
Never forget
365 Days of Colin Characters - Day 294 [Mark - Storage 24]
Dream Colin paid me a visit today and it was… surreal.
It was my birthday (in the dream, it was a month ago in reality) and one of my guy friends asked if he could “bring some friends” to my party, which was taking place at a super fancy discoteque. I said sure. Turned out he only brought one guy, but whatevs, I didn’t pay much attention to him. They proceeded to give me birthday tummy rubs and pats (look, I don’t know either) and I thanked them profusely for the loving attention (again, I don’t know, I only work here). My guy friend said, “You’re welcome!” and then I heard this additional “You’re welcome!” in a very familiar Irish accent… and realized my friend’s +1 was actually Colin.
Dream Colin came and gave me birthday tummy rubs/pats. Win!
So then I did the only sensible thing - I chased that motherfucker down. He moves fast, so I had to book it to catch up with him before he disappeared into the outer fringes of the discoteque dreamscape.
Upon catching up with him, I realized he was wearing a wild hot pink and black/gray ensemble with, uh, lots of glitter. It was utterly un-Colin-ish, and kinda threw me. But, whatevs. I wasn’t going to let it get in the way of what I was after: A hug. Yeah, I chased oddly-dressed Colin through a futuristic dance club just to get a hug, because that’s how pure I am.
“I’m a huge fan!” I told Dream Colin. His face literally fell and he went, “Oh.” “I have a blog about you and everything!” “Oh God,” he said. “That’s horrible.” “No, no! It’s great! It’s not creepy or anything!” I totally lied. “I promise!” “If you say so… but have you considered getting a hobby?” “Well, that kinda IS my hobby,” I admitted. “That’s not a hobby. That’s stalking.” “No, no. My hobby is writing. I like writing things and… sharing them with other people. I like to make people laugh and sometimes think about things. It’s all very healthy. I promise.” “If you say so…” “So… can I get that hug?” “I guess, but then I have to go.” “Where are you going?” I asked. “Can I come with?” “I’m going anywhere else and no, you can’t come with.” “Will you come back? Please?” “Sure, sure. Just… wait for me out here and… I’ll come back. Sure.” I’ve never before or since heard such an obvious lie.
But he did give me a hug, and it was great. Then he made a quick getaway into the VIP section where I couldn’t follow him and I spent the rest of the dream trying to find him again and hoping maybe he would actually come back.
At some point in the dream, I caught another glimpse of him and did a double-take, because he looked nothing like Colin whatsoever and this actually brought on some lucidity. I had to stop everything and go, “What the fuck, subconscious? We consciously stare at this man for hours every day and this is the best you can do?! This looks nothing like him! It acts nothing like him! And where is Dream Helen? He always brings Dream Helen with him, because he gets lonely without her! What is this budget bargain basement Dream Colin O’Donofake?”
So… I’m not sure. Jury’s still out on whether this was actually Dream Colin or a not-very-good fake. Maybe both. Dreams are weird like that.
He's paid me a visit a few times and he's usually chilling with me and dream-dad or tagging along on some family trip. Please don't try to psychoanalyze that, because I don't even know.
Every Episode of Killian Jones [Once Upon A Time]
I love the phrase “he would not fucking say that”. Truly encapsulates the number of times I have read a fic where a character would not fucking say that
here's some misc. clique art from the past few weeks
