In which Carrie has no self-control.

Hello, all. I saw 'Into the Woods' last weekend and had approximately a billion feelings, and now I'm bringing in the Baker's Wife because I want to and I can, so there. MORE BAKERS.

For those unfamiliar with the show, all you really need to know is that she's fallen right out of a hot mess of a fairy tale mashup that includes Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and his beanstalk, Cinderella, Rapunzel, a Witch, a few curses, and a zombie cow. And now she's going to be unceremoniously dropped into Manhattan, oh dear. Think 'Enchanted,' but with 500% less Patrick Dempsey and 2000% more 'oh god what is happening to my life' on the transplant's part.

She's going to be experiencing some pretty terrible culture shock for quite a while, but once she starts to calm down a little, she's going to mother anyone who holds still long enough and get into all sorts of shenanigans and accidentally reveal her true form: the biggest, most adorable dork in the world. THE MOTHERDORK, if you will.

Her permissions post is here, and is free of spoilers. Her app is here, and is spoiler-free until you get to the History section, at which point there are MAJOR SPOILERS everywhere from there on down. So if you wanted to avoid those, you've been warned.

I'M EXCITED.

[peacefulexplorer]

Maybe we should start with "new world" before we move onto "new worlds, plural" and then graduate to "different universes" from there

[andhiswife]

Maybe we should start with 'this is a car.'
