Because why fish normally when you can just shoot them?

The uncut version of Regina teaching Emma “magic” in her vault.

You know the funny part? if I was a fictional character I’d be 100% fine with people shipping me with a blood thirsty monster. You know why? I’d have no idea it’s happening to me. I’d have no conscious mind or emotions. I would quite literally be scribbles on a paper for you to manipulate to your liking. (And as a human it does make me feel bad to be used in such a way, but if I weren’t a human I wouldn’t have this emotion to begin with)

Now if I were human (which I am), I’d probably not want to be shipped with a blood thirsty monster that could eat me in my sleep. I’m sure a majority of people wouldn’t want that (those who do you’re 100% vaild btw. I’m not attacking you). The difference however is one version of me can actually feel something from being shipped with a blood thirsty monster (human me) and the other can’t have its own thoughts and feelings to begin with (fictional me). The other is a medium for everyone’s entertainment or a medium for coping. If a fictional character actually does have emotions about being shipped with another character, it was probably more due to a Human’s speculation of their character rather than the character themself.

So I feel like antis are coming from a sweet place but they completely disregard the fact that these fictional characters actually do not hold any feelings. Actually do not live by the laws of our universe and can be manipulated in anyway we see fit without them actually feeling any pain or sadness from it.

And this is different than an actual human being.
