#once upon a time

[jimiscribif]

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

I miss tv in the 2010s every day. You could put anything on air and get a 22 episode order and a five season run. Once Upon a Time was on and it basically spit in your face and told you that Olaf the snowman was Emma's second great uncle twice removed and you just accepted it. Golden age of the silver screen

🙋‍♀️...particularly when Emma dragged Regina into the closet after Henry ate the apple turnover 🔥😬😬

Who else?

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

Kinda ship ask game, or “i dont necessarily ship it but im obsessed with their dynamic” ask game

1.) What do they see in each other that they see in no one else? 2.) Is there someone they are better off with? 3.) Are they better without any romance in their life? 4.) Do they get over each other? Or never let go? 5.) What do they need to better themselves as people first? 6.) What about their environment influences them? 7.) Could they have piqued interest in one another without said circumstances? 8.) Is there a third party involved that influences them in anyway? 9.) Do they rush it? 10.) Do they question their sexuality because of each other? 11.) Could they drive the other(s) to hurt someone? Themselves? 12.) What would they give up for them? 13.) Are they more important than family to them? 14.) Would they give up work for the other? 15.) Would they give up basic necessities, like food or sleep? 17.) Do they hate the other(s) or themselves more? 18.) Do they love the real them or a mask? Both? 19.) Do they understand the other(s) on a personal level no one has ever? Can anyone else fulfill that? 20.) What experience do they share only with each other? 21.) How much of the issues are external vs internal? 22.) Have they loved before?

23.) Will they ever love again?

OUAT is found family in that they keep finding out everyone is in the same damn family tree

i love how the accents make no fucking sense in ouat. like they are all from the same enchanted forest yet gold is scottish, mila is english and their son, baelfire, is american at birth. hook and zelena are english, belle is australian, the huntsman is irish and literally everybody else is american.

everyone just picks the accent they spiritually align with and i live, honestly.

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?"

50% of me will forever hate they didn’t make Swanqueen canon, but the rest 50% of me is happy they didn’t because we all know they would have found countless way to ruined it.

the thing about once upon a time is that i do actually think it's more clever than people give it credit for and i think it utilizes unreliable narration a lot more than people realize. and a lot of character moments and story beats that people dismiss as bad writing are actually deliberate and thoughtful choices that enhance the show once you understand their purpose. however there is also a lot of bad writing in the show which can make it hard to tell sometimes

once upon a time is a normal and serious show
