I sure do buy a lot of patterns! I've been hitting up the usual haunts again, still on the prowl for the perfect Once pattern. I think I probably should just invest in MacStitch and make my own, but for now, I got three more Tilton Crafts, all by Daniel Kordek - the Limited Edition Aurora (which was odd for me since I didn't care for Aurora in Once, I think I just like all the purple in this): Emma and Regina from the Wish Realm: And Zelena: I'm still miffed he didn't do a Charming like the other boys, but oh well. Nothing I can do about that...Kordek told me himself he "didn't care for Charming", so there you go! I also got another Regina pattern from KPL Creative XStitch (the same store I got the Once Storybook from): She had another pattern with Hook and Emma, but it was monochromatic, and I'm already dealing with the monster that is Kordek's Hook on that front, so I declined that one. Then I cleared out my Etsy queue a bit and g...

Well, I did it. I went to Liam Duke's Patreon page, since he was the first YouTuber that I watched reaction videos from, and decided to join up for his full reactions at the $5/mo tier. What I didn't realize, once I got there, that, not all the OUAT reactions were there. I knew, via the comments on the front page, that older reviews had been removed for space issues, but I looked at Once BEFORE I joined and it "looked" like they started at Season 1, episode 03. Well, I SHOULD have actually read a bit further down. The first available post was Season 2, episode 22! Considering he is currently on Season 3, episode 16 (on both Patreon and YouTube), that's not a lot of Once. At first, I immediately dropped right back off of Patreon, but once you've paid for the month, you're there for a month. So, I went ahead and downloaded and watched the videos I had access to (even though I'd already watched the edited versions on YouTube). By about mid-day...

There is another YouTuber I've been watching, but I'm not sure how much longer I'll be hanging on to him...I'm not really enjoying his reactions to Once like I do the other guys, but not for the reason's you'd think. I know I've mentioned how I can't see how people think there is a whole "cheating triangle" between David/Mary Margaret/Kathryn...I will ALWAYS see that as, David was married to Snow White FIRST, so anything that happened in Storybrooke doesn't count. For these characters, their REAL world is the Enchanted Forest, not "our world". The entire Storybrooke world was a curse and David spent the entire first 28 years of that curse in a coma (until Emma showed up). If you have seen the show, you'll remember in the Pilot episode, he was mortally wounded BEFORE the curse happened, so he crossed over into our world and probably went directly into the hospital, did not pass go and certainly did not collect $200. When...

I LOVE reaction videos, although I'm not sure why. I only typically watch them for Once Upon A Time and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., shows that, I myself have watched probably a 100 times a piece. So what is so fascinating about watching other people watch shows I can literally quote line by line and know exactly what is going to happen during every second? Probably because I can NEVER get anyone around me to watch these shows and I kind of live vicariously through complete strangers watching them. Maybe I kind of feel like I'm "sharing" my shows with these people and it bonds us in this weird way. I have been on YouTube since the dawn of it's inception, and I've gone through about every YouTube phase, although my favorite will always be fan videos, but reactions are now slowly topping out my history lists more than fan videos lately. But they seem to have their pluses and minuses. Most started out in their entirety on Patreon and, as much as I'd LOVE t...
