Here I am again with some HC’s you ain’t ask for (except maybe @redbeanb0i 🤣), so just go with it! Shoutout to the anon(s) who said that Avdol listens to Lizzo lmao this is for y’all too!

✨Stardust Crusaders and Their Song Picks✨

(based off SOME of my playlists/tastes)

Muhammad Avdol 🔥

Ngl, I see him as someone who likes anything with a nice beat and a tempo he can vibe to. He and Oldseph have literally the same music taste, which you will see later, but Avdol’s definitely more modernized. He has a jazz and soft rock collection which is cool and all, but sometimes, you just wanna a lil some-some while you feed your chickens 😂 (which is also why I have a few afrobeats in here for him too!).

“Truth Hurts” — Lizzo

“Candy” — Cameo

“Creep” — TLC

“Good as Hell” — Lizzo

“LOVE. FEAT. ZACARI” — Kendrick Lamar

“Mad Over You” — Runtown

“Skin Tight” — Mr. Eazi

“Adorn” — Miguel

Jean-Pierre Polnareff ⚔️

Polnareff sits in that limbo/middle ground between hype and chill. He mostly listens to upbeat songs that have him either bumpin his head or dancing like a fool; has the occasional turn up song too, of course. I think he’s probably the most accepting of other music genres as well, so his tastes would be all over the place. Polnareff listens to whatever his ears enjoy the most! Actively seeking for new music too omg!

“Level Up” — Ciara

“Tempo” — Lizzo

“Hotline Bling” — Drake

“Way Back Home” — SHAUN

“Adore You” — Harry Styles

“MONOPOLY” — Victoria Monet

“Captain Hook” — Megan Thee Stallion

Bonus: “WAP” — Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion 😈

Kakyoin Noriaki 💚

The Chill Shit™! Basically songs he can play in the background while he sketches, reads or writes. I strongly believe that he and Jotaro prefer LoFi beats/game instrumentals/anime OP or ED’s. But based on what I listen to, I’d say his tastes are really soft vibes, though I can totally see him dipping into Polnareff’s playlist too. Prefers chill rappers like Childish Gambino and soulful RnB singers.

“Sober” — Childish Gambino

“Get You” — Daniel Caesar

“The Weekend” — SZA

“Reborn” — Kid Cudi

“NO HALO” — BROCKHAMPTON

“I Want You Around” — Snoh Aalegra

“Forrest Gump” — Frank Ocean

“Eternal Sunshine” — Jhene Aiko

Old!Joseph Joestar 🦾

Only the classics baby! The stuff that makes him feel young again; funky, groovy beats, or smooth and soulful ballads. That’s the stuff that has him pulling Suzi Q close and giving her a giant smooch, then twirling her around as they dance in the middle of their living room 🥺🥺😭 (tbh, I can see him really liking Usher too)

“Never Too Much” — Luther Vandross

“PYT” — Michael Jackson

“What You Won’t Do For Love” — Bobby Caldwell (this!!!!)

“September” — Earth, Wind & Fire

“Get Down on It” — Kool & The Gang

“Confessions Part II” — Usher (I swear I’m not trying to be funny or ironic....okay yes I am LMFAO)

“Ordinary People” — John Legend

Jotaro Kujo ⭐️

Kind of a tough cookie, ngl. I feel like him and Kakyoin are similar in tastes, but he wouldn’t appreciate some of the soft songs I have on my playlists. Like I said, LoFi beats are his go to, because they’re easier to tune out and he doesn’t get bogged down with lyrics. If he had to choose, here’s what I think he’d select. Also don’t see him as a rap fan that much, but if he listens to it, it’s 1000% because the lyrics resonate.

“Home” — BROCKHAMPTON

“Selfish” — Jordan Rakei

“Drive Safe” — Rich Brian

“Cocoa Butter Kisses” — Chance the Rapper (irony aha)

“Acid Rain” — Chance the Rapper

“instagram” — DEAN

“Apparently” — J. Cole

Honestly, I could go on for forever, especially considering this is mostly one genre of music and totally not all they listen to. If y’all want a Spotify playlist including other genres, lemme know, I feel like that would be super fun to do.

Also, should I do Bucci gang or the Morioh peeps next?? 👀

“only you”/“an untold story” impressions

{Quick request to anyone reading: I’m watching OUaT for the first time, and I want to avoid spoilers. So, if you want to discuss something spoilery, I’d be grateful if you could start a new post for that. Thank you!}

Yes, both in one post. Mostly because I watched them in one go. And because they’re really just one long story, anyways.

please feel free to insert your own episode-relevant pun here

Before I get into anything else: NO MORE UNDERWORLD LIGHTING! I’d almost forgotten how much that stupid red filter bothered me, until I didn’t have to stare at it while going through my screenshots. Dobby is freeeee~

Anyways, to my intense surprise, especially after the mess that was “Last Rites”, I really liked this finale! Not as a season-finale, because it wasn’t, but it was a very solid, fun two-parter that feels like it should have aired halfway through the hiatus between seasons. (I have Opinions™ on the “season finale followed by a mostly-unrelated epilogue/setup for the next season” format, and not one of them is positive.) The setup for the next season did get me cautiously excited, though. Not quite the “holy crap, I have to watch that!” of the s4 finale, but still good.

Just for clarity’s sake: I will be referring to this two-parter as one episode, just for ease of conversation. I have not slept this weekend, and I refuse to juggle grammar.

OK, just so I have it out of my system:

Gay roadtrip!

“i know we spent the last ten episodes getting my boyfriend back from the dead, but there isn’t room for four in the bug, so bye!” — emma swan, apparently

My joyful little shipper heart aside, the Emma/Regina bits in this episode were just fantastic. From their little heart-to-heart about Regina missing Robin (and Emma actually properly empathising this time) to the oddly even more personal topic of Regina’s constant battle with her “evil” side, it was all that I might have wanted and more.

The scene also left me with a weird feeling, because on the one hand, sure, it’s hard to constantly have to censor a part of yourself in order to be accepted in the company of the people you love (and who love you), but on the other hand… if that part of yourself has “kill it with fire” as the first response to any and all annoyances, maybe, just maybe, that’s something that you should censor. That said, Regina, you should definitely make an appointment with Archie. That sounds like his cup of preferred beverage.

And now to maybe my least favourite part of the episode, so we get it over with… the actual “main” plot. Or the excuse plot, as I will call it, because, really, the whole “Henry destroys magic” thing never really felt like a credible threat. It was more something to get everyone into motion so they could do the actually interesting stuff.

Don’t get me wrong, Henry snapping after losing yet another person—even by proxy through his mother—is perfectly understandable and realistic. That he’d turn his anger on magic as a whole isn’t exactly out of left field, either. He’s done this before, after all. At least this time, he didn’t try to blow up the magic well. I like that well, recent drama notwithstanding.

instead, we get the reverse-cornucopia of magic, apparently

But the plotline itself seemed far too rushed and low-energy to really grab my attention. And the resolution was… ::sigh:: there’s a dilemma for me, here, because I unabashedly love cheesy “The Power Is In You” moments, and the scene at the well did hit that button. It just felt unearned, which is why I couldn’t really enjoy it. (Also, I don’t know what New Yorkers are like, but I know how people from around here would have reacted to a performance act like that. Ah, well. Never Mind All That.)

the real magic was convincing so many people to throw away their spare change

I don’t even know what to say about the Dragon cameo. Nice to see he’s not dead, after all, but everything else in that scene... Nick, if you’d be so kind?

OK, that’s over with. Luke-warm excuse plot with some nice elements to it. I’m not sure if Violet needed to be in this, but I guess Henry needed someone to talk to.

Just as a pick-me-up, I want to give a shoutout to one of the best-executed bits of comedy on this show so far:

“Guy on the third floor is involved in some kind of satanistic ritual and dumped his food on the floor. Pretty polite and tips well, though. 8/10”

Just… very good performance and comedic timing on both parts. I liked it.

Aaaaand over to the “they got sucked through a portal. Again.” part of the episode.

ah, zeppelins; the easiest shorthand for “alternate universe” there ever was

I do kind of like the sound of the Land of Untold Stories and I really, really hope this gets a little more fleshed out in the coming season. How do people end up there when they’re not sucked through Yet Another Portal Accident? Is this what happens to all stories that haven’t been written down by an Author, yet? Is Harry Potter in there somewhere?

So many questions, so little screentime… I’m not sure if I would have liked 8 episodes of stumbling around in this new world, but I would have liked to find out if I did. …listen, it made sense in my head.

This plotline included what is probably my biggest complaint about the writing this episode: Snow selling out Belle. Just… with little to no hesitation. Which is why blaming the writing and not her. If this was supposed to be some kind of big, dramatic moral dilemma, I expect we’d have seen at least some semblance of guilt on her part. Instead, she just told this clearly violent individual about the defenceless, sleeping-cursed pregnant woman within nanoseconds of him threatening Hook. I know Snow’s characterisation has been a bit inconsistent recently, but come on. This isn’t her, and I am disappointed that the show even tried to sell this to me.

And I think I would have believed the version where Snow just blurts out the information about Belle and later feels awful, because holy crap, how could she? (There’s… some precedent for poor judgment on Snow’s part when it comes to sharing information, after all.) But this wasn’t even a Thing for her. I just… ::frustrated noises:: why, show?

So, yeah, the Bad Guy kidnaps Belle. Well done, there. By the way, wasn’t it incredibly difficult at some point to make portals to the Land Without Magic? I get why portalling to Storybrooke would be easier—it’s got magic, after all. But hotel room 318, New York? I guess you could argue that the crystal brought the magic along, but still.

i giggled at this bit, i’m afraid. fellow cat owners will understand.

So, I’m not sure what the “intended” reading here is, but I find it interesting that Rumple seems to understand himself so much less than Hyde apparently does (prediction: they totally know each other; mostly because Rumple knows everyone—guy gets around…) So he went to protect the magic crystal, because what else would the thundering teleport-vortex of doom have come to steal? As has been noted before, Rumple doesn’t really go after people through their loved ones, with one very recent exception, and he had to ask his dad for help to come up with that one. The idea that someone would kidnap Belle to get whatever the hell they want from him, doesn’t seem to occur, even though it has happened multiple times, already. Just… maybe you should have kept that box in your coat pocket, my friend.

Yeah… this is sure going to be fun, I can already tell. What does Hyde want with Storybrooke, anyway? It’s been established that it has one of the least-fun-to-rule populations, and everyone and their dog has magic. Seems like a bad pick, overall.

You do you, though.

And from Jekyll and Hyde, we finally come to this…

that still looks so very unpleasant.

I’m… ambivalent about the personality split, and I really want to wait and see how it turns out. Clearly, this is a good way to have the Evil Queen around again without also having to sacrifice Regina’s redemption arc, which I’m grateful for, believe me. It’s bad enough to have one of my faves on a redemption-yoyo—no need to add a second one.

is it bad that i missed her?

OK, look I’ve seen this Star Trek episode. Ten bucks that it turns out the Evil Queen isn’t “just” Regina’s evil side, she also got many of her more forceful, but overall positive character traits, and both are less without the other, leading to them re-fusing or something. (Yes, wrong fandom. So sue me.)

…obviously, I’m willing to be surprised, but I like this version a lot more than the idea that you can just siphon out the “evil” parts of yourself. (Even Hyde wasn’t really Jekyll’s “evil” side—just the collection of his socially unacceptable traits made flesh. I only read an abridged version of that book, and that a while ago, but Jekyll still seemed like a bit of an ass to me.)

While we’re here: shoutout to Snow and her flask of cocoa-fortifier. That got a surprised (and amused) laugh out of me.

Also, do we want to talk about whether or not it’s healthy to be so at odds with a part of yourself that you think killing it is the best way to deal with it or…? ‘cause, honestly, I would like to talk about that. Seems like Regina is a lot less OK than she’d like others and herself to think…

yeah, that’s not a “finally i’m free!” face

So, cautiously optimistic about s6 so far. The villains definitely seem interesting, and this episode was a good reminder of what I liked about the character dynamic in the first place.

An addendum about 5B:

Goddamn, but this season dragged. There seems to be simultaneously too much plot for too little time and not enough plot to fill ten episodes. This is probably based in my personal biases for and against certain characters (and the fact that I was insanely busy and couldn’t watch the season all in one go), but… yeah, I’m kind of relieved it’s over, to be honest.
