And at this point I'm just going to have to make up my own review, although it all seems fairly straightforward. I think. Reflexive pronouns, accusative dative, exactly what they say on the tin.


Tired. So very tired. I think I keep underestimating the emotional toll this whole house thing is taking out of me. It's not unreasonable to carry some stress over where you're going to live in a couple of months. Are the odds good that we'll get the house and not pay over what we can afford for it? Yes. Does that mean this is in any way shape or form settled? No. Thus, uncertainty. Thus, stress. Come on, Jag, you know this. Account for it, install coping mechanisms, do not beat yourself up for needing coping mechanisms or ignore the need for them.

Really, I want to just curl up with Once Upon A Time and write stupid Gold self-insert fanfic forever for the next week. So far I have, self-insert character breaks into his house, curls up in his chair, drinks his juice/booze, and tells him he's an idiot and a jackass. Because he is. Admittedly, mostly the latter than the former, but still. I have... Okay, I don't have so much self-insert fanfic. I have The Courtship of Rumplestiltskin and his Lady to finish and I have probably another Ruby/Gold to write. I also want to do that self-insert pointless fic set to Florence + the Machine's Howl with someone/Gold but I haven't figured out how to do that one yet. I also want to write fic involving smacking Rumplestiltskin upside the head every time he giggles like that. Or, no, every time he fakes that stupid high-pitched cackling mad persona. I think that was one of the things I liked most about Skin Deep; it gave us a glimpse of Rumplestiltskin speaking openly, honestly, and normally, instead of pretending to be more erratic and deranged than he really is.

... Which actually makes me wonder just how over the top he went after we left him in Desperate Souls, and how long it took him to regain some semblance of normality. Obviously some parts of him broke forever, he goes around exploding fairies and turning people into objects without blinking even when he's not the tittering idiot, but the gleeful rage we saw when he slaughtered the soldiers doesn't seem to be there. And it all reads like he went, well, mad with power for a bit and then dragged himself back to some form of stability. And, see, that's a story I'd be interested in seeing. As opposed to Regina, who only seems to be doing things for the Evulz.

Actually, that's another thing. Rumplestiltskin has issues which have subscriptions to entire catalogs of back-issues, but to me, he doesn't read as either psychopath or sociopath. Severely damaged person who went through a horrible war, spent years twitching with PTSD, then flipped into a whole other phase where all these feelings burst out into murderous violence. Which made him a very dangerous person to be around and, in all likelihood though we never see it, a highly unfit father. Which is kind of sad, but there you go. And then years pass and somewhere in between then and 'now' in fairy tale land he became someone so detached from humanity in general that individual lives have little meaning for him, and so dangerous in a whole other way. But at neither point was he inherently psycho- or socio-pathic. It's all learned behavior/reactionary, whereas we've seen nothing from the Evil Queen in either incarnation to indicate she ever had any ability to relate to other human beings on any kind of emotional level, ever. Two different types of monsters. One, heh, significantly more interesting than the other. I mean, there probably can be interesting sociopaths, just look at half the crime dramas, but god, EQ is so damn dumb sometimes.

I also feel like I should double check my definitions to make sure I'm using the correct term for murderous-volatile-Rumple. Ah well.

Right. I want to go home and curl up with all the Clayne Crawford episodes of everything ever. What will probably happen is I'll go home, do my guitar practice, do my Japanese, and then curl up with writing and try not to create several characters with my latest lust object's face while I'm doing my writing. Such is this crazy life of mine. And I have to make sure the goddamn fridge and freezer are actually working, I forgot, fucking hell. God I want to be in this new house and fuck the rest of this stress crap.

*wry* Oh, I so do read you on WHY IS IT SO STRESSFUL TO BUY A HOUSE? It shouldn't be, but it really, really is. *huggles you so very much* Stupid stress levels. Also, part of me knows that when you know the steps, it should be easier, but I really wonder at the people who keep on buying houses and selling them and how do they handle the nerves?!

Ahem. Heh. You know, Rumpel going insane and then kind of back makes me think of my headcanon for Flynn. (which, small wonder, really. Damn longevity.) But yes, I would totally be interested in seeing that... except I'm not sure the writers could handle it.

And yes, I agree on him not quite being... psychopathic or sociopathic. He's removed, and really whimsical-looking, but that's... different.
