So I think I’ve decided its impossible to have a het ship for Once Upon a Time hahaha. I ship Snow/Charming as much as the next viewer, but not in that omg-taking-over-my-life kind of way. 

I *want* to ship Emma/Hook…and whenever they are on screen together I LOVE it; they have such wonderful chemistry and they are so well suited for each other. How they exchange barbs and exist in a moral grey zone and have had a lot of heartbreak. And if/when the show goes that way for them I’ll be happy to go on that ride. 

But….

Whenever I step outside the show, away from that 60 minutes when its on, my feelings change. I try to read fanfic for them and I just can’t hahah. Same goes for other het pairings on this show.  Though I do see the potential of a Red/Hook possibility; I could be on board for that. 

However, I can read oodles and oodles of femmeslashy goodness for SO many of the badass ladies on this show. 

                                                            .

Emma/Regina is pretty much canon for me at this point. Their sparring and antagonism and jealousy for the other is pretty much the foundation for one hawt love affair. And Regina’s path to redemption (which I sincerely hope she achieves) is about Henry, but SO much of it is actually about Emma. She needs Emma to accept her, to trust her, and like her. And My favourite parts of the show are when Emma and Regina are trying to overcome their differences (or really their similarities) and work together. And really - they have a kid together. Them moving in and being a family is just logical. 

                                                            .

Belle/Ruby: Ruby is a badass. Belle is a badass. Plus the whole literalization of ‘The Beauty and the Beast’ story is far tooo tempting for my poor shipper brain. I like Belle/Rumple, but I think Ruby offers so much more to Belle than Rumple does. There is such a warmth between them, a genuine kindness and curiosity for the world. And Red ate her boyfriend *llama-side-eye*

                                                            .

Aurora/Mulan: please, this is SO canon is anyone debating this anymore? Even my Dad, who doesn’t know what shipping is, is all “KISS HER!!” when they are on screen. If only Disney wasn’t in control of this boat else we’d have some legit making out by now. 

                                                            .

So, in conclusion; the possible het ships for OUAT are considerably less exciting than the femslashy ones.

There’s a trope I don’t really like on general media but when it comes to Swan Queen fanfiction it gets me every. Damn. Time.

Miscommunication.

Regina and Emma together, kissing, cuddling, dating and fucking and BAM- someone fucks something up (specially when it leads to one of them thinks the other one was just pretending ).

And if Emma is the one who fucks something up and it leads to heartbroken Regina because she doesn’t know how to be loved??

Or Regina fucking something up and Emma thinking she was just pretending because she’s not good enough for Regina??

This trope have my heart, and I’m lucky this fandom has some of the best writers in the world, and every now and then I stumble upon this trope. Bless y'all.

miscommunication works as a trope for SQ because these women are *so bad* at communicating. usually with this trope its like “no one could possibly be that dense” whereas with emma and regina its like “yeah that checks out”

of books and kisses and giving the middle finger to fate.

thinking about the mirrors and reflections that dark swan could have given.

when you find another gay ship and fall in love and you feel like you’re betraying your current gay ship

i just want to thank tumblr personally because it’s the only place where i can unleash my gayness and be gayer, even the gayest with no restrictions

*pokes head in* Oh, hello there

Is this fandom still active or have we moved on?

Team work(s just fine. Promise!)

Hero 2 (team 2) : We will find out who did this. You’re safe with us.

Hero 1 (team 1): oh? Do you now?

Hero 2: Of course. It’s not only our job but also our responsibility as fellow people.

Hero 1,huffs: Okay. Let me get this straight. WE (Team 1) are supposed to put our LIFES into YOUR (team 2) hands, that consists of

1. A so called ‘genius’, who JUST dropped their coffee on our papers,
2. A cop, who is already so very done with this case
3. And a CSI who sleeps with literally EVERY criminal that walks in their near vicinity?

Did I get that right?

Team 2: ….

CSI: WELL … not EVERY criminal. Just the ones I find attractive. *winks*

Same circle

The hero has had a couple days off now, both their day AND night job is they finally felt save to meet their friends friend! They have heard so much about them now, they just know they’ll all be a happy family in no time. But when the other friend arrives … well let’s just say, the hero has to unpack their acting skills once more.

Later they excuse themselves to get another drink:

Hero, hissing: What the hell are you doing here ? Have you stooped so low you’re playing my friends now!?

Villain, hissing back just as venomous: YOUR friends?!? Excuse you? They are MY friends?! And how do I know YOU’RE not the one PLAYING ME?!

Hero, flabbergasted: WHAT?! Why would I risk the life these wonderful friends just to get back on YOU of all people?!

Villain: WHY THE HELL SHOULD I?!

Both stare at each other in shock, realisation hitting them equally hard: either one of them has to go right now and never talk to their friends ever again OR they have to play pretend and get along, only hating each other in secret.

Continuation: they constantly try to out do each other as the groups best friend. “I brought homemade muffins to the picnic!” “Oh? Well and I organised the picnic in the first place, villain!”

Bonus: the friends figured out beforehand of each of their identity and set them up to both have a bigger family and save the town. And when their fight for the group started they placed bets and are popcorn watching them being “secretive”

Emma: I have one brain cell and it bounces around my skull like a Windows screen saver. When it hits the exact corner, I form one coherent thought.

Regina : thing is, brain has no corner
