OUAT + Texts From Last Night [part 3: juicy snowing affair edition]

[tooselfaware]

The affair arc in S1 triggers my fight-or-warcry response. I know they're each other's true love, but in their Storybrooke life's context, it's so very wrong! Especially since David never tells Kathryn the real reason he's distant or whatever. Ugh! The chances are all there!

[victoriously-regal]

I'm sorry but I'm dying on the hill that Kathryn / Abigail deserved better. She was screwed over so badly, both before and during the curse. My girl just wanted her Frederick, and also to go law school. Is that too much to ask!?

She deserved the world.

I love that Abigail/Kathryn and Charming/David were really good friends

15 Awesome Indie Romance Books

I love indie romance! Some of the best romance books I’ve read have been indie romances, and you never know when you’re reading the next big thing. These books are often the trendsetters, steering the book market in the direction readers are seeking. They have quicker turnaround times, take more risks, and often have an extremely bingeable quality – maybe that’s why so many are getting picked up…

1, 3, 7, 11, 19, 20, 21, 23 for Kathryn!

Yay, Kathryn! Thank you, Maria! <3

My first impression of them

I can't 100 percent remember. I think I was a little confused about who she was and thought she was David's demanding sister, or something. I thought they kinda looked alike. I don't think I warmed up to her until I saw her as Kathryn. But when she showed up in the hospital scene, I was so touched by how much she cared about David and how kind and sweet she seemed. I think I was questioning whether Henry's book was real but was also kinda wary in case she was a Regina minion. But I didn't wanna believe it because she seemed so nice.

Her bringing a basket of muffins was the cutest gosh darn thing I've ever seen in my entire life and I was fully sold by then. But I also loved that she stood up for herself and knew she deserved to seek and find her heart's desires- all while being incredibly generous and forgiving in Storybrooke and the EF.

3. A song that reminds me of them

I know she doesn't have hazel eyes, haha, but I came across this fan vid. and I just love it so much. It's on my favourite fan vid playlist (which I listen to, like, every other weekend). It's 'Behind These Hazel Eyes'.

7. A quote of them that you remember

"No, you're not. A friend wouldn't do this. A friend wouldn't lie. Everyone is lying to me!" - It just tears my heart out. Poor woman got caught in the middle of a mess that had little to do with her, and it almost ruined what she thought was her whole life. She must have felt so alone and like she could trust no one. My heart really went out to her. She deserved so much better. But the way she chose to look at things from a different perspective for her own sake, and tried to pursue real happiness, was so admirable. It's a shame she got drugged and locked in a basement afterwards! That'd must have been really horrible and terrifying. Poor Kathryn couldn't catch a break!

11. What’s the first thing you think about when thinking about the character?

I get the warm fuzzies. Season 1 nostalgia to the max! My favourite season is not my favourite season without Kathryn. It just wouldn't be the same. She has a very special place in my heart and I just want her to have all the happiness and I cry and I am baking her cranberry muffins as we speak, even though I really freaking hate cranberries. That's how awesome I think she is! I am willing to touch dried fruit with my human hands just for her!

19. The most random ship you've seen people have with them

I tried to look for a blog I thought I saw a rare Kathryn pair on a while back that I couldn't remember, but found Kathryn x Ingrid on another blog instead. I feel like I kinda get it, as to me they have similar vibes a.k.a they're both pretty regal. I gotta read it! It's here if anyone's interested!

20. A weird headcanon

One thing I've always thought deep down is that, despite essentially psychologically torturing her, Gold tried to be nice about it, if that makes sense. I think he maybe got her nice food, maybe sat with her, and tried to calm her – not that she knew what was going on. Don't get me wrong, Gold can be very cruel, but that cruelty is usually directed at people who have wronged him or those who made a deal with him without reading their contract properly, like poor Anna. Kathryn was completely innocent and likely made no deals, so I don't think he would hit her with his cane or anything (at least, I hope not!). He could have killed her like Regina wanted him to, but he didn't. Whether that was to ensure things would work in his favor, an act of mercy, or something in between, I suppose is a bit of a mystery. Nevertheless, what he did was still terrible.

21. When do you think they were at their happiest?

I think with Frederick pre or post curse. She seemed to have very fond memories of her time with him before he turned to gold, so probably then. But I like to think she'd find even more happiness after the curse, whether she ended up with him or not. Now I think about it, I wonder if she tried to cross Lake Nostos to save Frederick. I can't remember if she said she did. Did the siren seduce her too?? Where's that scene at?!

23. Future headcanon

I don't mind a happy ending where Regina doesn't end up with a love interest, although goodness knows I would have loved to see her end up with Facilier. But since canon won't let us have him back (not without more time travel, at least!), I think it would be nice if Kathryn and Regina reestablished a relationship and it maybe developed into something more. Maybe things didn't work out with Freddie (sorry, Freddie!) and things end up coming full circle, where they both end up at some sort of celebration party together. Maybe they're both feeling a little lonely, and Kathryn sits next to Regina, and they just talk and reconnect. Oh snap, this was more of a wish than a headcanon before I wrote it out, but I'm totally adopting it as an official headcanon now!

I like to think she is good friends with the Charmings too!

another cursed david ramble

it makes me laugh how bad charming wanted regina GONE in the beginning of season 2, for one because yeah, he's only ever known her as the person who's trying to kill the woman he loves / is the reason they never got to raise emma but how much of it was also misplaced shame because regna's curse also brought out the worst in him lmfao. it's likely easier to be angry at regina for his cursed self actions too i fear- charming (bless his heart) doesn't have a martyr complex as big as snow's

which makes me wonder whether he and snow ever sat down and talked about it. i know it's a hard topic to broach etc but man, we are both was so promising when it came to addressing his actions as that wretched cursed persona of his, and him not believing mary-margaret was mentioned again in child of the moon, but then... no one ever brought it up again? yet, people WILL bring up mary-margaret sleeping with whale OVER and OVER AGAIN over the course of show??? y'all need to let this GO! that was a single woman (AS FAR AS SHE KNEW) in her late twenties whose only crime was having consensual sex with an admittedly sleazy guy. omg. free her

listen. i'm not gonna get angry on main about it (although i obviously clearly already am) and i understand that the cheating is a WAY more sore topic than mary-margaret getting some after HE broke her heart, so we can't joke about it, but OBJECTIVELY- we cannot be sweeping these things under the rug. "we were cursed" OKAY? maybe they understand but it's nice to take accountability anyway?? GO APOLOGIZE TO KATHRYN RIGHT FUCKING NOW?

this show is terrible at accountability ... even for the "good guys" but wbk anyway... alexa play nothing new by taylor swift

[victoriously-regal]

is it just me, or does Regina have a thing with blondes?
