television peaked with Once Upon a Time, like I can watch Anna from Frozen try to convince Snow White's Prince Charming to fight evil Warlord Little Bo Beep and he's like 'You don't know what you're talking about Anna from Frozen, my dad died when I was six because he was an alcoholic' and be like that's not even the most insane moment of this episode

one side of this post is the costume design from a big-budget theatrical film meant to live up to the hype of the first animated film ever made for wide-release and another side of this post is the costume design from an abc soap opera where dwarves hatch from eggs and i think you guys will kill me if i tell you which is which

once upon a time; the only tv show brave enough to ask "exactly how fucked up can we make a family tree without including any actual incest?"

Belle: I can't believe you assassinated the King!

Rumple: Well, 'assassinated' implies it was politically motivated. I killed him because he was a dick, so technically I murdered him

Belle: That's not better!

once upon a time will always be goated just for the fact that the prophecy didn't start until emma swan was 28 (an actual grown person with a fully developed frontal lobe) instead of when she was 16/17 (a literal child).

no but the thing is, when the hero falls in love with the villain she is falling in love with the darkest parts of herself. she is owning her shadow and the owning makes her stronger. it is not about whether a ship is toxic or romanticising abuse because it’s not about two individuals. the struggle is not one between two people, just like the love is not between two people. when the hero falls in love with the villain she is loving herself. when she loves herself she is stronger, better, able to transform darkness instead of running from it. at the moment of loving, a person changes. the loved changes. and the love of the villain changes the hero. it’s all about this, don’t you see?
