the EW interview

Lana is entitled to her opinion; Jen is entitled to her opinion.

At this point they may even be trying to soften the blow of Swan Queen never happening, and I’d appreciate honesty more than false hope in open-ended statements (like we’ve clung onto in the past - what of them now?) But regardless, Lana & Jen are two individuals who have a right to interpret the characters they are playing, just like how we as a fandom do. And if it differs from what we see, “friendship, sisterly love”, then that is it. In the end we have no right to dictate our interpretations, or expect them to feel the same, so I hope people will stop harassing them because of this. Please, just give them some respect as actors and as PEOPLE.

what she says: I’m fine 

what she means: I am never truly at peace because of swan queen’s tremendous wasted potential and the individual regression of both Emma and Regina’s characters in favour of furthering a narrative centred around an abusive relationship which also manages to throw all other main characters into the sidelines : )

why does seeing swan queen on my dash make me physically hurt

goodbye OUAT

I don't even watch the show anymore but I'm just so fucking disappointed and sad at how it has turned out. I've grown so invested in Emma and Regina and Mulan and Belle and Rumple; my love for them runs so deep that it physically hurts to see what the show has done to them. Also, being a shipper of Swan Queen, tagging along like this is very emotionally draining. OUAT's first (few?) seasons were extremely good, back when the plot holes were finite, minor characters' background contributed & not deterred the central stories, and the women on the show were their own people and if at all, had sensible love stories. Goodbye for good, OUAT. I'll still be reblogging things that I like about it and watching from the sidelines (tumblr), but I have close to no hope for it now. I just hope it ends soon.

Honestly, while I would be devastated if the token LGBT ship is one that would be developed within such a short time and between side characters, which it probably is, I’m still thankful that it is happening at all. I know to many it is the representation that counts, and I do acknowledge that no matter between who, the fact that an LGBT relationship is happening at all on Once Upon a No Homo is already a miracle in itself. So I hope, if it is the case, and it is inevitable that this is the only representation we get - that it will be written well, treated with equal importance and validity as the other relationships, and we can enjoy it. Ultimately it is Adam and Eddy’s show, and they make the decisions. This may be a cop-out, and I’m no way contented...but in a way I’m also grateful that we got it at all. Sigh. 

YOU KNOW WHAT I SPENT MY WHOLE LIFE PRAYING FOR SWAN QUEEN TO BE CANON BUT IT DOESN’T EVEN MATTER NOW BECAUSE IF CANON MEANS EMMA + HOOK / AND “SUBTEXT” IS THIS UNDYING CARE AND FIERCE LOVE BETWEEN EMMA AND REGINA THEN I DONT EVEN GIVE A FUCK ANYMORE IF SWAN QUEEN WILL NEVER BE ‘CANON’ BECAUSE THIS WHATEVER IT IS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY CANON RELATIONSHIP ON THE SHOW 

present OUAT I hate you with my whole heart so you have no right to continue wreaking havoc in my soul

I THOUGHT I WAS SO FUCKING DONE BEFORE BUT CLEARLY I WAS WRONG

what she says: "fine" what she means: "crying about swan queen"

no one cares about your swan queen hate starkpotts_ literally nO ONE FUCKING CARES we won the poll and if you insist on shitting on our hard work you need to grow up and get the fuck out lol

Anyone know any good young! Swan Queen Enchanted Forest AUs?

clarification:

When people (me) tag stuff as “morrilla” we don’t have to necessarily be referring to a romantic SHIP of the two actors but sometimes just use it as a tag for interaction between Lana & Jen. So please don’t go around misconstruing that, saying we don’t respect their personal lives & that kind of thing? Because yes I am perfectly capable of separating actors and their characters. If we seem excited maybe it’s just because we hardly see them interact and of course you’d squeal a little when your FAVOURITE actresses do cute things together, right?

Adam and Eddy:

…..what the actual FUCK is wrong with you.

Jennifer Morrison said she hugged Lana Parrilla after the gravity of what a big sacrifice Regina was making for Emma sunk in, because she felt it was a heart-wrenching, sincere moment for the both of them.

And it was. That hug would have been Emma Swan’s unsaid “thank you” for the new life and memories she was so freely given, an accumulation of Emma and Regina’s entire relationship developed across three seasons, and a symbol of reconciliation for their past. 

Being such a powerful and emotional moment, not just for the people who see Swan Queen as a romantic ship, but also for viewers of the show who have witnessed the character growth and relationship development for Emma and Regina since Day 1, it was cut. Obviously. What they could’ve possibly lost by putting that I don’t know, 5?second clip into the mid-season finale. FUCKING NOTHING. For all the shit the Swen has taken from the writers, cast members, the rest of the world, we DESERVED THAT ONE HUG THAT THE ACTORS THEMSELVES FELT WAS APPROPRIATE AND NECESSARY FOR THE SCENE IN WHICH REGINA GIVES HER SON, GOOD MEMORIES, AND A NEW CHANCE FOR EMMA SWAN TO GO BACK TO THE START TO RAISE HER SON LIKE SHE’S ALWAYS WANTED. 

But no, it would’ve been too generous of them. After all, what is sacrificing a life compared to a ship?

"Cedar Lane" by First Aid Kit- 

Rose after rose of passenger place Headed out again, running all in vain Motel blues, only bad news I'm never looking for you You'll find me all the same I lay awake at night envisioning  A trace from the past This heavy heart of mine, it never fails To bring me right back Now I see us walking down Cedar Lane Slowing, the sunshine passed in the rain Tremble so swiftly all of those days I still remember how you used to say "Something good will come out of this" Coast after coast, cities and states My world's an empty map where nothing remains The place we belong is quietly gone While we were making plans, it drifted away I lay awake at night envisioning  A trace from the past This heavy heart of mine, it never fails To bring me right back Now I see us walking down Cedar Lane Slowing, the sunshine passed in the rain Tremble so swiftly all of those days I still remember how you used to say "Something good will come out of this" Something good will come out of this How could I break away from you? How could I break away from you?

SOMEONE TELL ME THIS ISN'T A POST-GOING HOME SWAN QUEEN SONG I WAS LISTENING TO THIS IN THE TRAIN AND IT HIT ME AND NOW I AM EMOTIONAL AND I NEED EMPATHY
