The making of a Queen - Regina & Cora (@royallyaudacious)

[ghostlytalkin]

hiddenwashington accepted a lord voldemort / Tom riddle app, but they have regina mills from once upon a time banned who is just the evil queen from snow whit reimagined... so they are okay with accepting the hp universe version of a nazi but not an evil queen.. alright

I'm sorry but what the actual fuck? putting this under readmore just because triggering sometimes especially mention of HP, screenshots of the blog are included if you're nosey like me

Evil queen is soft core compared to a literal wizard nazi who wanted to commit genocide against those who weren't of pureblood. To be honest people who allow that kind of thing no matter how much somebody can be like "Oh well they aren't like that in this rp." are a bunch of liars. And before anybody comes at me like "they didn't accept him" I give you this:

The actor also has some problematic ideals when it comes to women as pointed out in this article. There is also this one here as well.

Now getting into their banned I find this screenshot interesting, look at the highlighted with HP Legacy is banned and the circled statement:

Any chara with nazi background. Voldemort would be considered a nazi of the wizarding world. They also banned Zelena Mills. When asked back in 2018 {which damn this has been going on a long time apparently} here is what they said:

But wait, they also had accepted a Regina Mills at one point:

Actually they accepted Regina several times. So now she's banned but it's cool to let people rp as a wizard nazi? Really? Granted some of these screenshots are from 2018 but the bases still stand here. How you gonna say "No characters with Nazi history" and accept VOLDEMORT.

The rules are odd to but that's just me

No. No. No. No!

Emma was busy most of the time, especially with her new role. David wasn't busy though. David was there and was interested in getting to know him. He was going to play video games with him, they were going to work on Operation Cobra together. David was his grandpa, and he was his grandson. This wasn't fair.

"Why does she ruin everything?" 

He liked the warm hugs David gave and the head pats. It was playful. This is what having a grandfather was like. David accepted him for who he was, unprompted. Even Emma needed a little push to first come to Storybrooke. She was reluctant. When David first found out, he wasn't reluctant. In the short amount of time that Henry had David, he already learned how to lean and depend on him. 

Henry crouched down into himself, feeling cold. He left the house immediately after David left, taking shelter underneath the playcastle. He wrapped his jacket and scarf closer to him, but the warmth he was looking for couldn't be fixed that easily. He breathed in sharply, as if he was in pain. "It's okay. I'll believe for the both of us. I'll believe for all of us."

Just like always. Only himself, believing. Hanging onto the dream.

Why is his mom like this. Why does she have to ruin everything. Doesn't she understand that it's not just her life anymore? It's his life too. It's theirs together. 

Every move, she ruins everything. It was the only thing that made sense. His Evil Queen of a mother had to be the one that made David recover his memories. And that made David not believe in Henry anymore. 

He hasn't cried in days even though things were strained with him and Regina. He hasn't needed to because he could rely on others for strength. He has Emma. He has Davi-- He had David. Henry in his heart knows that he had David, and it won't be the same anymore. 'It's okay. He said that I could still see him... But now he's freaked out. He thinks I'm wrong too.' Scrunching up his eyes, he could feel tears forming. "I just want to break the Curse already." He whispered to himself. 

His mom was the caster for the Curse, but he was the son of the saviour. There couldn't be a happy ending with her in his life. It was so funny that David's apparent 'memories' made him happier with Kathryn. That everyone in the town were so complacent with their false memories. Because of Henry, his memories burned him from the inside. Every time his mom came up in conversation, every time he had to think about the curse, he always thought back to some memory of his mom. She was always there for him. To kiss his forehead when he was being bratty, to hush him to sleep with wondrous stories, to ask why he was scrapped up after he was playing a bit too hard. 

He wanted to cry out for his mom, to feel her arms wrapping around him. Then she'd tuck his head into her neck and soothe him with the words he constantly was aching for, 'I'm sorry for everything. I never meant to hurt you. We can move on. We can be together and it’ll be just us with no more games. I love you, little prince.' Things would be good and they'd be okay. But right now he doesn’t have her. Things have been strained ever since he got the book. He couldn’t even look at her without feeling guilty. Guilty that he loved his mom despite the suffering she’s inflicted.

Letting out a sob out, he curled up further into his crouched position to bury his head into his knees. The thought of his mother's nickname for him pushed him to the edge. 'I hate the Evil Queen.' As he felt the tears dampen his knees through his jeans, he wailed, “Mom.” Mainly because he didn’t know what to do since he was hurting so much. It was a reflex, to call out for his mom when he was scared or hurt. In this instance, he was both.

What’s the career highlight you’re most proud of?

Okay, so what I’m about to say is not allowed to get back to Mayor Mills. Ever. Under penalty of death..... However: The career highlight I’m most proud of is the time I was able to deal with Mayor Mills in giving my aid for her adoption of Henry Mills. She may be quite.... irksome at times, but at the end of the day, I can tell how much that boy means to her.

— long live the queen !

selective regina mills! formerly rgincmills! penned by ellie!

hi there! welcome to my blog! this is a rp account for ABC’s once upon a time character regina mills. she is a very complex character with many different verses and relationships. when writing her, i do tend to default to canon backstory unless something else is planned beforehand. straying from canon, one of my biggest hc’s is that regina is bisexual. any relationships you’d like to plot or discuss, feel free to message me!

now onto introductions, my name is ellie! i’ve just recently turned 20! it is currently summer break for me, but i also have a very busy life outside of tumblr. i try to answer all of my asks and messages as soon as possible. i also like to check in with my writing partners if i haven’t spoken to them in awhile. if talking ooc makes you uncomfortable, please let me know!

last but not least, a few rules!

trigger warnings will be tagged. if there is anything else you need tagged, do not hesitate to let me know. as mentioned above, i have a busy life outside of tumblr. i will never pressure anyone into replying, and i expect the same in return. i have four other accounts: @rgincmills (my main acc, formerly used.) @ariagrey (greys anatomy oc // active.) @wvrlymills (ouat oc // active.) when i like or respond or send an ask, my old username is going to pop up. if you click on that blog, you should be redirected here!!

Author Ask Game

tagged by: the wonderful @only-freakin-sunflowers who i don't get to tag below because has already done the fun thing.

author name: bandit! for my fanfic, i'm bandit. it's different on ff.net - slightly - but since i don't really post stuff there anymore, that's irrelevant. i'm also aparticularbandit on ao3.

fandoms you write for: right now, primarily jtv with a dash of the tick because i love miss lint. i sometimes pull in characters from other fandoms i've written with/for - typically hannibal, who framed roger rabbit, ouat - and i plan on pulling in characters from agent carter, supergirl, timeless, and the x-files for the upcoming epic superhero crossover series (i think it might be done like the soulmate timer au is now...sort of) and then plan to pull in hp and supergirl characters for the roisa hp au - like beyond other fandoms i normally pull characters from - but that's upcoming stuff and not current stuff.

where you post: ao3. haven't posted on ff.net recently, i don't think, and while i have posted something here (and sometimes have posted drabbles/one-shots for various rp characters on their blogs), i primarily post on ao3 now.

most popular one-shot:

by hits: lost causes

by kudos: lost causes

by comments: lost causes

by bookmarks: lost causes

i thought one of those would be different. oh well. but, yeah, lost causes far and away beats in all but the comments, where my multi-chapters have it beat.

--the kiss/fall prompts have it beat, too, but i consider that a multi-chapter anthology and not a one-shot.

most popular multi-chapter story:

by hits: jane: the real story

by kudos: A Christmas at Longbourne

by comments: luisa and the fox

by bookmarks: if you lived here, you'd be home now

favourite story you wrote: uh. um. i know I've been openly posting pretty frequently about how much i love luisa and the fox - linked above - and it's definitely a HUGE favorite of mine, especially recently - but, given that this is talking about all of my fanfic, there are others i want to mention that i particularly like and that otherwise probably wouldn't get brought up but are still definitely favorites.

grind is my favorite of my jtv one-shots - the closest to it is probably the trilogy of one-shots in it's love's illusions i recall; i really don't know love at all series but even then, grind is my favorite.

like lightning is my baby lint fic and i love my baby lint fic and i think it was actually really well-written and i just love that fic.

there are a bunch of fics that i wrote as gifts or prompts when i was more active in the rpc and a lot of them i think are good and am also really attached to:

body, body - frozen fic, prompted, also one of my top fics in terms of hits

On Christmas and Frenemies - hannibal fic, present for river, uses my will and her freddie

on aquariums and besties - crossover fic, present for river, uses my jessica rabbit and her dana scully

the mondays series - crossover fic, uses my jessica rabbit and jae's regina mills - and also henry and then also my friend willow's roger rabbit

this sinking boat - crossover fic, uses my jessica rabbit and river's dana scully

falling slowly - five times kissed prompt, uses my jessica rabbit and river's dana scully

the one you want, (not) the one you need - crossover fic, uses my jessica rabbit and jae's regina mills

points of remembrance - five times kissed prompt, uses my jessica rabbit and willow's roger rabbit

and then there's story of a girl, the noir fanfic i wrote that i still haven't published that i keep bringing up every now and again.

story you were nervous to post: parasite. i originally wrote it last november but was so worried about how the content would feel and how sensitive it might be that i left it alone until the second write for roisa week.

how do you pick your titles: uh. song lyrics or titles. references. something that seems to fit. sometimes they come with titles. it's not really an exact science. >.>

do you outline: for bigger projects, when i know they're bigger, yes. luisa and the fox had something like one in my head after a certain point, but mostly for my shorter stuff, not really. ACAL had a mental outline of what needed to happen in each chapter. mexican stud finally has an outline so that i remember what scenes are left and what chapters the scenes i have go in.

but mostly outlines are for multi-book projects or stuff that's so complicated it's hard to keep it straight with all of the details. the ouat/pmmm crossover i think had an outline; the pmmm how many timelines is it? fic definitely had one; and then the biggest outline i have for a current project is the one for the roisa hp au - which has a chapter-by-chapter outline for the first book, the beginnings of chapter-by-chapter outlines for books two and three, and then details of stuff that has to happen per book or that i might want to include per book for all seven books - including two possible endings and the results of each ending.

how many of your stories are complete: on ao3? 45.

in-progress: again, on ao3, 19.

coming soon: define soon. in terms of unposted projects, i'm hoping to have the first book of the roisa hp au up next year. i've been making more progress on mexican stud, but that one's complicated. luisa and the child, but that one's still...in progress in terms of what the plot wants to be. i have puzzle pieces that kind of fit together. there's a bunch of other stuff i've got waiting to be written or that i've been brainstorming, but of the unposted stuff, those are the primary projects.

oh, and if i can finish it, there's a Christmas fic i started last year that i hope to finish for y'all this year.

OH YEAH AND LOOK OUT FOR THE ROISA SECRET SANTA PROJECT.

mostly i want to focus on getting back to and finishing other projects i've started and not just starting a bunch of new ones.

do you accept prompts: yes, but understand that depending on the prompt it might take me a while to get the thing written - like the roisa as hannigram prompt which is still in progress in terms of brainstorming but isn't even remotely done yet and might be a while before i get to it. >.>

upcoming story you're the most excited for: roisa hp au, epic superhero crossover, and luisa and the child. the first two of those are really ambitious and really complicated so i hope i can pull them off. oh, and the unfinished Christmas project from last year, if i finish it on time. i was really excited for it last year, too, but it doesn't lend itself to word count easily.

tag five fanfic authors to answer these questions: @butimnotasexyrussian, @finehs, @pulitzerpanther, @to-hell-with-oblivion, and @andtherewerefireworks - WHO I KNOW GOT TAGGED ALREADY BUT TAG ME WHEN YOU DO THE THING SO I SEE IT YO.

♥ What's the WORST thing that has happened to you rp wise?

uhhhh *loki vc* it varies from moment to moment. the incident i mentioned here was pretty hurtful. a couple years ago, another mutual i’d known for years unfollowed me to get me to unfollow them so that they could then copy my theme, and when i confronted them essentially said “i wouldn’t steal anything, so it’s not stealing. hope that clears things up :)” (and then had the godforsaken fucking hubris to instigate a false callout against a dear friend, involving MANY of the people in our previously-shared social circle, literally manipulating multiple people into lying to support their callout--something that’s obviously much worse in scale but didn’t happen directly to me fhdgkhbdfsg so i’m not trying to include it on the list of Worst Things For Rabbit). when i was writing regina mills in a group setting i made a post about looking for plot connections, specifically asking for ppl interested in writing friends for her, and someone outright told me that they hated regina but could probably write their character as her friend if i wanted. that was really shitty.

A love letter to my mom

Dear Regina,

Dear Evil Queen,

Dear Mom,

You think I'll fall for it. You're being so nice and getting me all these things. I don't need it. You can't buy my love. You can't buy it because you have it.

Were you ever going to tell me about the curse? You couldn't have hid me forever if I kept on ageing! I saw it already, I saw all the pictures you've taken. I change. Not you. Not anyone else. You all stay the same.

Why won't you give up, for me? We can be a family again. Please. Mom, I'm sorry that I said I hate you. I don't. I don't really. But you're stil the Evil Queen, you haven't changed because you keep everyone locked in this town.

Let them go. Let them go so we can be free. Once upon a time, you searched the land for your little Prince. Once upon a time, you were finally happy and that was enough.

I promise I won't fight you anymore. I'd stay with you if you let everyone have their happy ending. I'd stay with you even if you didn't.

I don't understand. Is it cause I'm not strong enough? If I was better, if I was a hero, would you have stopped?

Look. I'm going to try for the both of us. I'll break this Curse and then we can work on you. Villains don't get happy endings but... Maybe you don't have to be a villain.

Love,

Your little Prince

--

[do you want to save untitled document?]

[No.]

[ask-operation-cobra]

If you had three wishes, what would you ask for?

Easy.

1. The Curse to be broken.

2. That I can be a cool Knight with a sword.

3. That my mom wasn't evil

3. A pet, like maybe a dog like Pongo, or maybe a bird.

[ask-operation-cobra]

What if i told you, your mom once had a chance at preventing Emma from breaking the curse by giving you up, but didn't because she wanted to be there for you and love you? What if i told you she kept you, despite knowing this could be the reason the savior comes to Storybrooke? What if i told you your mom erased her knowledge of Emma, so she could focus on taking care of you and loving you?

Huh? What? Do you have proof.

Someone said that she was manipulated and she deserves a chance to change.

I didn't think she could ever do something not selfish. Something that benefits others, not herself. Maybe... So she can change?

No. Wait, this is a trick, right? Mom! Are you trying to get someone to tell me another lie? I like the idea of it, if it was true.

Do you have proof, please? I want to see it. Is this true. She raised me. She's not my real mom but... She is one of my Mom's.

[ask-operation-cobra]

Your mother is not evil, she's trying to love you, but you are just a brat throwing a tantrum

Have you not be tuning in Anon? Mom's the Evil Queen and there's a reason why she was called that.

So maybe I am a brat, but that doesn't bug me! People call me a brilliant and bright child too, so I think that trumps over that. And by people, I mean it's technically just Mary Margaret.

[ask-operation-cobra]

Have you ever shoplifted? If yes, what did you take?

No! I've never shoplifted in my life. I would feel real bad for the owners.

I pay everytime!

Because I take money from Mom's purse if I don't have any leftover allowance.

[ask-operation-cobra]

It was really mean of you to chose Emma of Regina, especially after everything Regina's done for you.

Yep. She's done a lot for me. Makes me go to therapy because she thinks I'm crazy. Tells me that Emma is a lying crazy woman that's trying to con us. Lie to me whenever I ask questions.

She doesn't treat me like I'm my own person, okay? I'm just her little boy who needs to obey.

Maybe I'm mean, but she's Evil.

[ask-operation-cobra]

Hey Henry, have you ever used the fact that you have two moms to (a normal kid's version) your advantage? (Extra allowance, double dessert, more books from your favorite bookstore, that sorta thing.)

No... I haven't. But you are BRILLIANT.

Double desserts, snacks, meals. Here I come.

[ask-operation-cobra]

Top 5 things your mom does for you that makes you feel good?

1. She tells me stories.

2. She doesn't want to give me desserts but she does anyways :)

3. She makes me feel safe.

4. She gives the best hugs.

5. Bakes the best Apple pies.

6. When I'm sad, she holds me until I feel better.

[ask-operation-cobra]

AU: What do you love the most about your mom?

I love lots and lots. Mom is the best.

I also love her hugs and kisses when I'm sad. It makes things better.
