#thank god for lamictal because the depression benders are sooo much less awful

you can do all the questions, but I am especially dying to know the anti-otp/notp for Once

hahaha this will be fun, i am now remembering that i have (and have had in the past) some strong and controversial opinions about this show lmaoooo. i did have fun watching (most of) the show. don’t get me started on ouat and male rape as a plot device -- we will be here all day if i start to talk about how salty i was, and honestly, weirdly, still am about that. without further ado

my favorite female character: Emma Freaking Swan, my bitch love her and her determination and her passion and her everything honestly. she had so many shitty life experiences 10/10 deserved a better childhood than the one she got.

my favorite male character: Killian Jones. my boy! he of the angst, eyeliner, secret soft heart and terrible adaption to modern technology. he also had such a tough life and a shitty childhood and 10/10 deserved better. i was (and still am, on the DL) a huge CS shipper. im still so happy they found each other and that they got married!

my favorite book/season/etc: oh wow this is tough, can i just say the 2 part episode where emma and hook end up back in time minus the maid marian returns subplot??? cause uhhh that’s it. also the neverland arc; that was super well plotted and the point in the show where i felt the most sympathy for rumple, who i later just couldn’t stand. he should have stayed dead after his redemption suicide death at the end of the neverland arc, send tweet idc if this is a controversial opinion lol

my favorite episode (if its a tv show) see above “cs the movie” the ball scene, hooks “prince” outfit. snow turning into a bug and charming recognizing her, emma and hook kissing for realsies, emma “im uhhh princess leia” swan, peak rumple sass, “i’m in the book now” guhhhhhhh regina and robin bein’ cute af together. the belle/rumple wedding scene with their vows paired with scenes of all the other canon pairings shit woooo boi i die. let’s pretend the marian “im actually zelena” shit never happened shhhhhhhhh!

my favorite cast member: Colin O’Donoghue, he just seems so upbeat and fun??? also big love to ginnifer goodwin and josh dallas who became like, actual real life snow/charming and are very obviously very in love.

my favorite ship: captain swan full stop. my babies! wholesome, full of soft romantic moments! both hot af! i still, on occasion go on some serious CS fic reading binges because the CS fan community is full of fun people and frankly AMAZING fic writers whom i love dearly. so many, good AUs which i am a huge sucker for ....

a character I’d die defending: Emma! *Puts on the “Emma Swan deserves happiness and love today and always” t-shirt and wears it always.*

a character I just can’t sympathize with: rumple, but only, like, in later seasons. he just ... keeps fucking stuff up and never learns it was ... aggravating. i felt like after they made him suddenly not dead the first time they couldn’t figure out what to do with him so they just .... used him as a bland chaos agent, which was honestly a disservice to his character which in seasons 1-3 had real development, good plots and was well crafted as a morally-grey edging on immoral dude!

a character I grew to love: ??? this is, like, weirdly hard for me?? i think i just, liked the characters i was gonna like from the get-go and ended up disliking some characters that i originally liked in the beginning. does it count if i say elsa and anna? i was not super about the fact that they decided to basically shoe-horned in frozen at all because i was kinda irritated over the whole huge frozen hype, so i was kinda expecting to be just mildly annoyed by the frozen characters being in once, but i ended up not really being because they were just ... kinda sweet?? especially anna.

my anti otp: lol definitely sw@nqueen. no one can change my mind. outside of the fact that i just don’t like this ship (though i can see why there were a bunch of people that saw it/shipped it) so many of the people in that ship were just ... awful to like, the actors and to the people in the captain swan camp and i was not here for it -- like i have to say that was definitely the big influencer in making me like, be super anti-sw@nqeen when i had just been pretty low-key not a fan of the ship. also, i just don’t think as a relationship in practice it would be a healthy or good one. plus ... uhhh i know @rockford-peach​ you really like regina, but post, like season 3 i kinda got tired of her, even though i really wanted to like her for a long time. i think it was largely because she got the shitty character non-development from the writers, which is honestly a damn shame because she started out so compelling??? i was, uhhh kinda mad about it at the time i think.

it’s been a long time since ive been really into once, but i had some very strong opinions that got me All Fired Up about that show for a long time that i have mostly zen-ed out about now. lbr i had a lot of fandom opinions that really Fired Me Up as a teenager that i have zen-ed out on since becoming one whole adult person. typing this out gave me war flashbacks lmaoooo. wowie this got looong.

also i love u and hope you are holding up ok in these trying and frankly shitty times. virtual hugs! this was a wild (but fun) time!

send me a fandom/show/book and ill give u my opinions n thoughts
