Maximus: best paladin mount ever.
I finally saw Tangled! It was just as cute as everyone said it would be. I actually liked it a lot more than I did The Princess and the Frog (which I also liked! but I also thought it was a very careful movie, if that makes any sense? Like they made sure to hit all the Disney notes point by point. If the whole movie had been as cool and daring as the art deco scene and the "Friends on the Other Side" song it would have been a stronger movie. I digress.)
And as an "Into the Woods" fan I really dug how much of Bernadette Peter's witch I could see in Gothel, especially in the "Mother Knows Best" refrain. Of course, the witch actually DID see Rapunzel as her daughter and not just as an eternal youth potion, although they did a good job making it ambiguious whether Gothel did love Rupunzel as much as she could love anyone. But God, the cutting little comments. I almost had to fast forward through some of it. (My friend commented that Gothel and Frollo should meet and compare notes.)
That was a masterful set up, though. All would have been lost if not for one super-intelligent horse (who can sword fight!). And Pascal, my new favorite animal sidekick! And Flynn was of course suitably dashing, although he could have just let her heal him and then cut her hair off! It's a good thing he's pretty.
(I admit, I did make a "she has pokemon tears!" crack. Because she does.
Excellent movie. Would watch again.

I was looking up angel names today and came across this:
Elemiah - Angel of Inward Journeys
Traditionally believed to watch over and protect those who travel by water. Guides us to retrieve insights from our subconscious minds.
"Traveling my water" you say. (AND subconscious insights!) *files away for future use*

So I finished my outline for my sncross_bigbang and, um...guys, should outlines be 1300 words? I think I'm doing this wrong. Now I'm trying to avoid the mistakes of my Outrun My Gun outline, where I'd write "Dean and Cas haunt Sam as he summons crossroad demons, goes hunting, etc." and that would mutate from one line in the outline to pages and pages and pages in reality, but I'm starting to get worried on just how long this is going to be.(!)
(For anyone not already bored to death, I "outline" by basically writing a one sentence or so summary of each scene. For example (not from anything): "Dean and Cas realize the room is trapped but can't get out of the way before ring of fire catches them both - they go back to back as the demons swarm in and then FIGHT." Sometimes a line or two of dialogue if I want to make sure I remember it.
This is a lot of scenes, is what I'm saying!)
