I really like fictional couples that actually enjoy spending time with each other. It seems like such a simple, mundane thing. But, often, I see fictional couples who are completely enamored and dramatic and willing to die for each other, which is fine. But like… do they enjoy hanging out? Do they have private jokes and would they be friends even if they weren’t in love? It feels like such a basic thing, but it’s something that I actually don’t see that often. And it feels so refreshing and honest compared to these over-dramatic romeo and juliet-esque romances. Just two people who become good friends and because they enjoy each other’s presence so much it grows into a strong attraction. It feels more real and tangible than two attractive people meeting and “falling in love at first sight” - like, of course, you fell in love at first sight! You’re both supermodels! Sorry, can’t relate.
Just finished the Canterbury Tales and I'm upset we won't know what the Cook was cooking 😔

“we’re tired of enemies to lovers, it’s toxic”
correction: YOU are tired of enemies to lovers, that is toxic, and more importantly, I am just getting started!!!
Okay, I get they wanted a way to wrap up Rumple's arc in season 7 and wanted to show Rumple was capable of redeeming without Belle.
But guys, we were robbed of season 7 morally grey police officer Rumple and florist/author Belle having a dorky crush on each other. He would come into her shop every morning at the same time to pick up a bouquet of roses (but really, it was to see her adorable face). He was the only one she could talk to about her dreams of getting her book published because she was too scared to share them with anyone else.
Rumple would then awkwardly ask Henry to help him convince Belle to publish her book (and we could have had an episode with Henry and Rumple bonding like old times). Having Belle alive would have been the perfect opportunity to bring Gideon back into the story, so he wouldn't be a wasted character anymore.
(why couldn't we have this, it's already leagues above the annoying and forced relationship Henry and Jacina had)
Season 7 isn't bad, it's just wasted potential.
It was a chance to focus on characters other than the Charmings, but instead, they introduced boring new characters nobody cared about because focusing on villains or morally grey, complex characters is hard to write, and they couldn't be bothered to put in the work.
me and my girl when we share the same compulsive behavior 😍
James Norrington did nothing wrong. His only crime was being a Jane Austen hero in a Disney movie based on a theme park ride.
And we learn once again that public proposals are the absolute devil and should never take place. Ever.
If Mr. Collins can girl boss so can you
The craziest thing about Austen is she fully admits that being officious and shameless works! Mr. Collins got that amazing living from Lady Catherine for free, Lucy got Robert Ferrars and his fortune, it is strongly hinted that Mrs. Clay would have succeeded with Sir Walter if she had stuck with it...
The question that she poses instead is, "Was it worth it and who will you become?"
You cannot pursue wealth and status with your entire soul and come out the other side unscathed.
