#OUAT inspired costumes

[itsalliebitheway]

Supercorptober Day 31: spookycorp

“Karaaaa!”

The yell sounded so loudly through the penthouse that Kara almost fell from the desk chair in her home office.

Panic cursed through her veins as she used her superspeed to get to her wife as quickly as possible. Was she in danger? In pain? What was the reason for that scream?

Kara found Lena kicking off her boots, literally kicking them away while she tossed her keys carelessly against the wall where they fell down and landed next to the dish they had bought for their keys and wallets.

“What’s wrong? Are you hurt?” Kara asked as she came to a screeching halt on her socked feet.

“Andrea and Sam deserve to loose. And I’m going to be the one to humble them. We are going to humble them. I cannot stand this anymore!”

"What? Andrea and Sam? What are you talking about baby?”

Lena had shrugged out of her coat and let it fall to the floor, apparently too angry to tidy up after herself. Her eyes were sparkling with something akin to rage and if Kara didn’t know where it was directed, she’d be cowering in fear right now. Lena could be scary if she wanted to.

“They believe they will win the costume contest of CatCo’s Halloween party because they have a better sex life than we do!”

“I-,” Kara stopped talking again and furrowed her brows in confusion. “I don’t understand what the one thing has to do with the other?”

Lena huffed and stomped over to the kitchen where she filled a glass of scotch and emptied it in one go.

“We had lunch and somehow came to talk about the party. Sam is convinced that the couple’s costumes reflects on the couple’s sex life. Which is ridiculous, but she explained it and it somehow made sense especially when Andi chimed in to support her points. Then they made fun of us going as Team Rocket last year, saying that our fun little costume revealed how immature our sex life truly is. You know I really love them both as individuals, but introducing them was the worst mistake I ever made.”

Lena had lost her steam at the end of her rant and Kara was there to take her into her arms. She placed a gentle kiss on Lena’s hair and carefully pried the empty glass out of her hands. They hugged for a moment in the kitchen, then Kara cupped Lena’s face in her hands to make their eyes meet.

“My Love, our sex life is amazing. Nothing Sam and Andrea can say will ever change that. It’s not childish or immature or vanilla even. I’ve discovered sides of myself I never even knew I could have. They don’t know what they’re talking about.”

She kissed Lena on the forehead and pulled her in once more. “But, because it means so much to you, and because it’s so very fun to win against them, we’re going to have the best couple’s costume at this party and I already have the perfect idea.”

They stayed up long hours into the night, putting the finishing touches on their costumes. Thankfully Lena had taught Kara how to sew so they were able to work together on Lena’s dress, embroidering one black sleeve each with the silvery yarn to make the intricate pattern.

They only needed to adjust Kara’s dress to the oval hoop skirt, the rest was pretty much perfect already.

When the day of the party came, Lena used her darkest lipstick to paint her lips after applying a truly hauntingly beautiful smoky eye. Kara’s eye makeup wasn’t as impressive but her lips would match the color of her dress exactly as well while her hair was punned up into a complicated bun with two strands framing her hair.

They had previously agreed that Lena wouldn’t use her magic in public if there wasn’t an emergency, but desperate times called for desperate measures.

They had practiced their entrance several times. The portal watch came in very handy, creating the blue orb that would be the foundation of the image Lena would create around it. Even though she hadn’t practiced illusions a lot before, this gave her the perfect opportunity to do so now, and her illusions of mirrors became more authentic with each try.

“Okay so, the plan is to portal directly into the bullpen. I press the button while you concentrate on the mirror illusion on the other side. Are you ready my Queen?” Kara asked, while she slipped into her heels she bought just for the occasion.

“I am yes. Is my collar okay?” Lena asked while she grabbed her little clutch shaped like a deep-red apple.

“It’s very upright. But wait come here,” Kara gestured for Lena to come closer and adjusted the necklace she had put on to mimic the one Regina wore with the dress she was wearing right now.

“There, all perfect again. Any last words before we mirror-travel into battle?

“You’re ridiculous and I love you,” Lena chuckled and gave her a quick kiss that almost smudged both of their lipsticks. “And you look very beautiful,” she added, brushing one of Kara’s strands out of her face.

“And you look absolutely hot and stunning and I can’t actually find words. How are villains always so attractive anyways?”

“It’s probably the cleavage,” Lena chuckled and shimmied her shoulders for good measure, drawing Kara’s eyes down to where the corset was pushing up her boobs in the most delicious way.

“Okay let’s go then before I decide to rip your clothes off again,” she grumbled and cleared her throat. Lena offered her arm to Kara so she could link hers into Lena’s elbow. They shared one more glance and both nodded, then Kara pressed on the portal watch while Lena murmured her illusion spell to create the mirror on the other side.

They stepped into CatCo’s bullpen to the symphony of half-concealed shrieks of surprise and ohs of wonder. Whispers were spreading through the room like a wildfire while Lena slowly let the image of the mirror fade into nothing.

“You certainly do know how to make an entrance,” Andrea drawled, stepping up to them with a champagne flute in hand. Sam sidled up next to her, wrapping one arm around her waist, holding her close.

“What are you supposed to be?” She asked, her eyebrow lifted in surprise as well as astonishment.

“Lena is the Evil Queen, Regina Mills, from Once Upon A Time and I’m Emma Swan. They were clearly the power couple of the show,” Kara explained, satisfaction bridging a grin to her face.

“And as what did you two dress up?” Lena asked and looked her two friend up and down.

“We’re Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, obviously,” Andrea said and gestured to her own bleached wig with pink tips one the one side and blue on the other side. Sam wore a Red wig and a green dress that looked like it was mostly made out of leaves, covering not a lot.

“I see, your couple’s costumes reflects exactly what a bratty little bottom you are,” Lena said to Andrea, but gave her no time to reply. “May the best costume win.”

She sauntered off with Kara at her side, drawing looks from all around them. They went over to Nia , dressed in a Princess Peach costume to Brainy’s Mario.

“You gays look fabulous,” she cheered and hugged them both hello. “Ugh and that entrance was sooo good! I loved the reference to the show, you can’t not win with this.”

“Here’s to hoping,” Kara answered and snatched two champagne flutes for her and Lena from a passing waiter.

Sometime during the event, Andrea encouraged everyone to vote for their favorite costumes in a little booth she had set up near the elevators. There would be different categories for solo costumes, couple’s costumes and group costumes, each category able to win a price.

When the award ceremony finally came, Andrea stepped onto the makeshift stage she had organized for the night and asked for all of their attention.

“I’m really glad so many of you participated so vigorously in this years costume competition. Dressing up has always been fun for me, but a good costume also takes a lot of time and often a lot of elbow grease so we’re here to honor the best of them.”

She cleared her throat and opened an envelope. “The best solo costume goes to Mackenzie with Hayashi and Dardine as runner ups, congratulations.”

Mackenzie, dressed in a perfect cosplay of Mel Medarda from Arcane, came up to the stage to collect her prize, a food basket filled with Halloween treats, while everyone clapped.

“Next up we have the couple’s costume. Runner ups are Nia and Querl and myself and Samantha.” Polite applause filled the room while Lena squeezed Kara’s hand who was holding her breath.

“Winners are Kara and Lena, dressed as Emma and Regina from Once Upon A Time.”

Thunderous applause filled the bullpen as Kara and Lena took the stage. Lena couldn’t stop herself from conjuring up blue sparks all around their feet, making it look like they were igniting them with each touch of their heels to the floor.

Sam handed Kara their own gift basket while Andrea hugged Lena to congratulate her. In the privacy if their hug, she whispered, “I might be a bratty bottom, just like Harley is for Ivy, but you can’t deny that relinquishing control once in a while is refreshing, Evil Queen.”

“Oh, absolutely,” Lena murmured back. “I can’t wait until she gets me out of this dress later tonight.”

Andrea and her shared a laugh, knowing that everything was well between them, even though her and Sam had lost the friendly competition. They both also knew that their respective girlfriends would take wonderful care of them once they’d leave the party.

Okay but now what if how you designed Remus but in as many words as you want, because I'm loving these design breakdowns

HELL YEAH!

Remus to me is full of chaos but he is also the antithesis of Roman with similar qualities but a total lack of self consciousness or bashfulness. He is freedom and he gives no shits.

Inspiration 1: Mad Madam Mim

I start with a disney character full of chaos and I am inspired by mad Madam Mim because she is wild and chaotic and i absolutely love how fun she is as a villain and the most important thing for me is that Remus is fun. He's bonkers and has terrible ideas but he's also harmless in terms of reality. He's like an annoying little brother that wants to show you the Weird Gunk he found in the trash.

Inspiration 2: Snidley Whiplash (or Dick Dastardly)

Remus to me is a guy who knows a lot of things and he's actually really clever but he wants to BE a villain like Snidley Whiplash or Dick Dastardly, including the moustache. He wants to tie people to train tracks because it's fun. His personality is "I found the dynamite and the roller skates! :D"

Inspiration 3: Wile E Coyote and looney tunes as a concept

If Remus is anything it's a creature that can be stabbed in the eye and come back fine. It's a person who can make acme-like contraptions that do not work and that's ok. He is, if nothing else, Wile E Coyote and he is having the time of his life. He should therefore have hair that is a littler wild and crazy and untamable like Wile E's tail.

Inspiration 3: Royal villains

We will look at Galavant and also OUaT again!

There's nothing quite as detailed in costume as evil royal villains. They always seem to be the most extravagant or at least have all the buckles and things and Remus has an outfit just the same. Like Roman I want his royalty to show with his clothes but unlike Roman I want Remus to look way less put together. More a culmination of his clothes he chooses to wear but only because he HAS to wear something so he's going to show skin.

Particularly though the one I associate with Remus is Captain Hook from Once Upon a Time.

Inspiration 4: Captain Hook / Pirate aesthetics

Roguish, half-opened shirt, details, dressed fancy, swashbuckling. Remus would make a great pirate because he has the swagger and charm of a drunken man sailing a boat with a pet giant octopus he calls Lil Pussy.

Speaking of octopus...

Inspiration 5: Kraken and hentai

He has an octopus on his belt and he deserves tentacles for a pirate feel but also for fuckin. Cause he's a raunchy bastard. Anything taboo is something he wants to think about.

Inspiration 6: Punk aesthetic

What easier way top buck against the norms than to embrace punk vibes? Jewelry, upside-down crosses, I don't like going overboard with it but I like giving him some. Fingerless gloves, chokers with spikes, those kinds of things work well for his "I am everything your religious grandmother hates, embrace it". His outfits that aren't standard could look like he made them himself or found them in the garbage and went "awesome!"

Inspiration 7: Weapon Master

Remus likes to hit things with his mace and while Roman has his sword, I imagine Remus is an expert at weapons or at least likes to use them so even if I am going to dress him up nice I want a weapon nearby somewhere.

Things that are a must:

So many details, Remus will not leave your eyeballs alone. If you think Roman has details nope, Remus wants your eyes to bleed with them.

Remus should have longer hair than Roman, wilder bangs and wilder curls. Shorter hair is fine but a ponytail is even more fun. Like the tie holding it'll break at any moment.

Weapons galore, arm this baby at every opportunity. Likewise, scars are acceptable but it's ok if they disappear at random because chaos loves chaos.

If Remus has his main garb off he should be showing skin to the best of his abilities and his collar should drape down wider than normal because let that man be a slut.

Tentacles should be numerous when shown and they should have a mind of their own doing whatever they want.

If Roman wouldn't wear it, Remus would. If Roman wouldn't think it, Remus would, and if Roman would be disgusted, Remus would love it.

Remus should have annoying little brother vibes.

Any non-standard outfits should look like he cobbled them together with duct tape and chewing gum.

So I came to this:

[wallissa]

Jeepers Creepers (2001) & House of 1000 corpses (2003) etc really put spn into perspective. Later seasons were very obviously daytime tv inspired (shoddy sets, relying heavily on bad cgi or a very limited costume department, extremely bright super detailed shots, but also just the acting, plots, side characters etc all follow a OUAT, Teen Wolf, random doctor show that airs daily format. lots of talking, lots of random plots), but in the first seasons you can feel this early 2000s Americana horror background. It's really interesting to see, it contextualises a lot.

But apart from that analytical aspect, it's also really inspiring. Imagine what could've been. (on that note: I feel like the Conjuring franchise is a good example for what Americana horror was doing in the 2010s and onward. that also would've been a fun route for spn to take. too bad!)

Watching C's podcast on YouTube, if you are a shifter you know who she is. I really respect her because she doesn't just follow what everyone else is doing plus her SJ in her Hogwarts dr is insane!

It was Stranger Things late last year. It's still unfinished but I made it on google docs and I did post it on here. Besides my written one.

I think Hanna (the one who made this survey) says it best so I will link her TikTok on it! HahaShifts

I connect with my drs through Pinterest boards, FMVs, watching the shows, movies or reading the books, writing fanfic, music, Chat AI as well as Tarot readings & channeling, scripting.

I don't have one.

Asleep or 5 senses method

Birthdays, christmas or Yule, Anniversaries

I don't know yet. Only holidays I have memories of are with Bruce Wayne during Christmas and Valentines Day with Billy Hargrove.

Renee West Wells is a forensic Anthropologist & Journalist as well as makes the costumes for Team Flash and Team Arrow. Michelle Renee in my Fame drs is an Indie Singer, scriptwriter and has her own makeup brand. Lilianne is a SHIELD agent, Mandy Moorington works at Scoops Ahoy as well as a record store, Isabella in my OUAT dr works at the library and Mr Gold's' shop when he's away.

In my Marvel dr I like collecting things, as well as reading, hanging out and playing board games or drinking games with the team. Peter, Pietro and I also like playing video games together. Renee in my Flash dr prefers having sleepovers with Caitlin & Iris or cuddling and watching a movie or show with HR & Harry. Drawing new costume ideas. Michelle in my Fame dr would probably being hanging out with her Crue drinking, having sex ect...or writing a new script or song lyrics. Also hanging out and playing with her kids. If it was My Fame dr with Sebastian they'd probably either be doing some light D/S play or hanging out watching a movie or having him read to her. Mandy in my ST dr would be cuddling with Billy, Eddie or Chrissy. Writing, reading or dancing. Also her and Chrissy doing each others hair and makeup. Bella in my OUAT dr would mainly be reading or hanging out with Ruby at the diner or with her sister.

I travel back and forth between The Avengers universe and XMen universe alot so if you count that... Also go on missions with SHIELD. She doesn't have a set place but she likes Madripoor kind of and Budapest. Renee would want to go to Italy or France. I also want to visit Greece with Tommy Lee because that's where his family is from and Romania with Seb.

My Marvel dr is partly based on the comics. I do have a Shadow & Bone dr but it's unscripted and I haven't tried shifting there. There are moments in my ST dr that is based around 'Flight of Icarus' Eddie's book.

Of course my Marvel dr takes place in the MCU (except GOTG) My Gotham 89 dr is based on the older Batman movies and the new Flash movie. Motley Crue's life is still like the one portrayed in The Dirt (just including me, they also look like them when younger)

My relationship with Tommy is based Pam & Tommy's in the miniseries. Obviously The Flash dr is from the series as well as LOT. Same with most of the Marvel shows (Loki & Hawkeye especially) My Mod Gotham dr is inspired by The Gotham series, TWD series, OUAT and Wonderland, Stranger Things Series.

Yes I've posted about them but in My Marvel dr I am a Valkyrie in one and a Mutant or super in the other. As Lilianne I have control over both light and shadow, as well as healing abilities and the ability to phase through if someone attacks me. (I have to be actively trying though) In My Flash dr I am a Storm Goddess with control over lightning and the weather. I also have magic in OUAT taught to me by Rumple. Since I am the daughter of The Evil Queen.

I already have when I shifted to My ST dr and saw Billy. I posted it HERE.

They all have very different styles since I'm so eclectic in my cr lol Ok I picked a name randomly and got Renee. So for her I'd say basic, classy, rich looking when going out (she went on a date with Harry once dressed casual and felt so self conscious) or dressing up in what her men like. A bit edgier when she's Obsidian Storm. I have an outfit post HERE.

I only have the idea for my rooms in my ST dr and I know what the rooms in My Fame drs due to memories. My room with Tommy looks like in the series and My room with Seb is also in creams and whites with a raised floor where the bed is which was a canopy bed with white lace curtains.

Mandy's room looks similar to this on the opposite wall is a floor length mirror and pink dresser.

8. Okay I got Amara who is Loki's girl and a Valkyrie. So that Marvel dr as a whole...

9. oooh I got Carrie aka The Carrion Crow! I do have a playlist for that Gotham dr.

Bellyache- Billie Eilish

Badder-Emlyn

Pretty Little Psycho- Porcelain Black

I'm gonna show you crazy-Bebe Rexah

Vicious-Bohnes

10. Whiskey and Motor oil (grease) remind me of Merle Dixon. I've literally smelled popcorn while watching the episode of Pam & Tommy where they go to the Barbed Wire premiere. I do have ClairSalience. Billy Hargrove smells like alcohol at times but mainly cologne and mint when I channel him.

11. Yes but I will talk about them in a seperate post.

12. I have tons. I usually write them down and post them on here. I will be posting about my Fame drs soon.

13. I don't make scenarios unless it's to help with writing my fanfictions. (like filling in holes) I find that if you call them scenarios then that causes your subconscious to think that reality shifting isn't real so it's harder to shift. I also find scenarios to seem forced as opposed to an actual memory that comes out of nowhere.

5 Things OUAT Could Have Done Instead

Inspired title I know.

Part of why I stuck around for 6 seasons (besides pure stubborness) was because I wanted to see, if at any point, they could do anything right. They didn't, for what it's worth, but the more I watched, the more I became sure they could.

For the sake of continuity, I'm going to try and contain this to a numbered list!

The Actors--they needed better actors. This one will be short, because I feel like I explained enough in my "what went wrong post" but essentially we needed characters who looked young and felt timeless. You needed an Emma who looked young, and could embody the toughness of "I've had only myself" but could adopt the softness of "I've finally found my family." You needed a Snow and Charming who could look young, but felt like they were old enough to be her parents, to have ruled a kingdom. You needed a Rumple who felt like an enigmatic immortal creature whose age is unknowable. Actually, the actor who played Pan did a decent job of young but old. Henry too, needed to be able to play young and innocent, but he also needed to be able to play wise beyond his years. You needed actors who could both (see Cate Blanchett as Galadriel).

The Costumes--for the love of god, ditch the Prom dresses. The tulle, the crystals, the cheapness--the costumes looked cheap and felt cheap, and that was apparent on screen. Even if their budget was small, there's a way I think you can costume the show that doesn't make it feel like a cheap children's parade in a small town. I am a teacher on a budget, and the costumes I make, for fun, with clothes you can buy at your local store or costume pieces I've made with fabric from Joann look more expensive. I think the costuming was a deliberate choice, and I've yet to figure out why.

The Plot--this is the one I'm going to spend the most time on, bc it's the place that I think they messed up the most. So--here we go...in the next post because tumblr will yell at me again.

The Final Part...

[marzipanandminutiae]

gods you know what’s a fantasy Look I’ve loved for years

the two amazing redingotes of Evil Queen!Regina from Once Upon A Time

just. holy shit. is there any more of a Power Ensemble than black leather  leggings under a huge, billowing redingote with a perfectly fitted bodice? no. No there is not

if I could find a way to incorporate a similar vibe into my own “screw pants, my legs are theoretical, what do you mean this isn’t the Fantasy Late 1800s” wardrobe, I would be the happiest weirdo in the greater Boston area

I’m a bit inspired by this Emile Pingat reception dress c. 1885:

(from the collection of the Shelburne Museum)

(back view. the Met has a promenade dress, also by Pingat, in a similar style but green)

the frock coat inspiration is Excellent but it lacks the essential billowy quality I really like in the OUAT costumes

this merits further consideration

are you an OUAT enjoyer?

Watched the entire series from pilot to finale baby ;) my costume in that play was heavily Regina inspired. Had my hair up in a high ponytail and everything. I think at that time OUAT was 2-3 seasons in?? It was a while ago

[roguescarlett]

Dad had tv on and it showed Snow White and the Huntsman movie. seeing the Queen’s costumes gives me huge Empress Minerva vibes. Though, Regina/Evil Queen from OUAT has the most costume inspirations for my interception of Minerva.

TV already did it way better

The 2017 Beauty and the Beast remake golden gown doesn’t even look good compared to two other live-action versions of Belle, on TV at the time (which means a lesser budget than the remake!)

This is going under a cut because this is a bunch of pictures and a bit long. Below, you’ll find my discussion about how the dress from the remake compares to the dresses of Belle from Descendants and Descendants 2, and Belle from the series Once Upon a Time (featuring her season 1 and season 4 dresses.)

Belle from Descendants (played by Keegan Connor Tracy): all her gown are yellow/gold (because color-coding in a children’s series, I guess) but I’m focusing on her formal gowns.

Her gown from D1 (in 2015): 

Alright, it may not be gold, but it’s yellow, at least, and it’s a much softer, less atrocious yellow than the remake gown. With this gown, you can see the golden beading around her waist and the lace on her neckline. The off-shoulder design of the original ballgown, while not practical for the “modern” design, is still evident in the swoosh design of the sleeves. No useless designs on the skirt, because again, modern style (even if they gave her a weird bow on the back of her dress, for some reason.)

In Descendants 2, (which came out in 2017, the same year as the remake) she appears again, this time in another gown that I would argue is even more inspired by her classic ballgown:

You can see the gathered embellishments on her skirt, and once again the off-shoulder design is parroted in a crystal-studded lace halter/off-shoulder combination. (Since Descendants 3 came out in 2019, two years after the remake, it seems redundant to post here, but Belle’s formal gown for Mal’s engagement party once again featured an off-shoulder design and, if I remember right, pale golden lace.)

Onto my next live-action Belle: Emilie de Ravin on Once Upon a Time.

(I cannot for the life of me find a promo image of her in this dress standing up, so this will have to do.) This comes from season 1, which was back in 2011-2012. Again, since OUaT was a giant dark Disney fanfiction, the characters had a lot of Disney influences on their costumes. Belle has the off-shoulder design with some elaborate embroidery over an otherwise-simple golden dress, with no decor on the skirt. 

Season 4A (in 2014) brought us another lighter golden dress:

(I chose a far shot to spare you all from OUaT’s infamous and ridiculous tendency to give their ladies bizarre cleavage in all their ballgowns.) Once again, the animated influences are obvious: the puffy off-shoulder design, the pointed bodice, and the billowing skirt. There’s a paler pattern all over the gold. It’s a lovely gown, and purposefully so, because the two of them are literally dancing to the song “Beauty and the Beast” in this sequence (iirc). 

So, what’s my point in all of this?

This  dress has no excuse for being so absolutely terrible.

once  again,  to  anyone  who  doesn’t  know,  i  am  severely  canon  divergent  from  abc’s  ouat  when  it  comes  to  my  interpretation  of  the  evil  queen  /  regina  mills.  while  i  do  incorporate  aspects  of  her  portrayal  in  the  series,  i  primarily  take  inspiration  from  what  canon  provided  and  have  altered  or  expanded  on  her  individual  universe.  i  will  not  compromise  that  for  anyone,  within  ouat’s  canon  or  outside  of  it.  i  worked  really  hard  to  establish  regina  has  a  developed  character  over  the  course  of  eight+  years  and  i  am  very  proud  of  what  i’ve  done  with  her.  i’ll  do  a  headcanon  info  dump  post  eventually  but  if  you  have  any  questions  you  want  to  ask  me  directly,  feel  free  to  drop  me  a  message.  also,  this  is  super  important,  the  only  time  i  will  reblog  lana  will  be  for  costume,  aesthetic  or  musing  purposes.  morena  is  my  faceclaim  for  regina  (  bruna  is  her  teen  -  young  adult  fc  )  and  i  also  will  not  change  that  for  anyone.

Yeah, Tamatoa made an awesomely funny, charismatic and terrifying Ursala in your fanfic. If Tamatoa showed up in once upon a time, how would you have written him and the Moana cast into the episodes?

Oh God I loved writing him! I love writing big diva characters like him because he was fun and it was easy to figure out how he’d react and what not.

Ok... so I was PISSED that the final season of Once upon a Time had Maui’s fish hook, but none of the characters showed up. How did it get its ability to break barriers? How did it end up with the good guys in the final two episodes?! Heck, there’s so many Polynesian myths that you could have chosen from to use. They had plenty of time to squeeze in Frozen right when it first came out, but not Moana for even one episode?!

Oh also, Ahab had Maui’s fish hook. Ahab as in ‘famous one legged sea captain who had a serious grudge against a powerful being.’ That could have been Tamatoa in disguise!

There’s too many possibilities to choose from. We could have seen an extra part of the journey that happened that tied into OUAT’s main storyline somehow. We could of had Maui meeting Moana’s family (which would have been hilariously awkward, given the stuff Maui pulled on Moana, like going to ditch her on the island he was trapped on). Tamatoa could of had his revenge, etc.

Then there’s the question of the ‘present day’ part. Both Storybrooke (and Seattle) take place by the ocean, so there’s already a lot of possibilities. Moana’s cursed identity could of either still longed to go into the ocean or have the irony of being afraid of it for some reason.

One of my ideas was that Tamatoa was able to capture Moana out of revenge and had her turned into one of his collectibles (like a statue or something). So Maui snuck into our world, used a fake identity, and tricked a lot of people to find a way/object to save his friend.

And it wouldn’t of been that hard to bring Maui to life. Yes he has all the tattoos, but if you’re worried about offending someone, then they don’t have to be on the actor (and if it’s ok to have the tattoos, I’m sure they could of used the right process to apply them onto the actor’s body within a reasonable amount of time). Plus if he had a cursed counterpart/land without magic identity, he’d be able to easily hide them either with clothing or magic. (I’d imagine him as a tattoo artist, fisherman, surfboard shop owner–something that ties to his real identity).

And UNLIKE the Frozen characters, no one has to look one hundred percent like they came straight from Disneyland (which was SO STUPID! I wanted to see inspired costumes, not Disneyland costumes!)

As for Tamatoa... his chances of showing up would have been low, but I was open for a scary realistic crab monster version of him.

Overall, we were horribly cheated out of something wonderful, and we could have had real live action Polynesian actors play the Moana characters.

For @killian-whump. Sorry I don’t have a crab costume, but I hope this will suffice.

Space Nerd, listen to me, the OUAT world, it’s a mess We’ve got cool people, but just as many crazies as any fandom they’ve got out there *Singing* The fandom was super active Back in the show’s running days But the smallest things that happened Would get many in a craze. We’re not always super angry That is not the case by far But regarding out controverseies The subjects are quite bizarre Controversies! Controversies! We’ve got a big pile That stretches a mile They’re bad as herpes! No matter the actors or the ships They can inspire the meanest quips The jerks are plentiful They make being here hell With controversies!

...Was that okay? How do you fEEL about it?! (Sorry I couldn’t do the full song)
