I love you season 1 and 2 ouat themes. I love you good always wins but who is wholly good? I love you evil is made but can it be unmade? I love you all magic comes with a price but is there any price I wouldn't pay for my child? I love you blood is thicker than water but what if you can have both? I love you my parent is a monster but what if I can make them better? I love you revenge kept me warm but what if now I choose love? I love you what if love really is that powerful?

Me: Once Upon a Time season 1 is so cozy and comforting :)

ouat s1: government corruption, a woman almost having to give her baby away against her will, a mine collapsing with a child inside, a girl locked in a mental hospital, arson, homeless children needing to steal to survive, said homeless children almost getting separated in the foster care system, infidelity, drugging and kidnapping, attempted muder, actual murder, a murder trial that has nothing to do with the real actual murder, a man slowly and painfully turning into wood, etc.

Ah man, on Season 3 of OUAT rewatch, and the best word for poor Neal really is just... unceremonious. Youch. I'm not a big Swanfire person but offing him like that is so lazy and cuts out so much good drama and other relationships. Neal and Henry! Neal and Rumple! Neal and Hook! Even Neal and Belle! I also love his energy. He is just a fairly average dude, no magic, no incredible skills, just his wit and his determination, and yet he consistently keeps up with our main cast.

Also, they put background actors who I think are supposed to be the Lost Boys at his funeral; imagine how cool it would have been if he took them in and became a group foster dad! That just feels like it would have been a lovely move forward for his arc.

Bah. The cracks in the writing deepen.

tier one: actually reading

tier two: pretending to read

tier three: skimming through book

tier four: screaming at book

ouat characters and how they read

Reading about that Varney family is so funny

Them: En Garde, villain! We shall defeat you in honourable duel. Pistols at dawn! One on one, for we are upstanding men with principles.

The Dracula team: Let's all break into his house ambush him and mug him with knives

the topical shitpost i had for this was so old i redrew it so i wouldn't have to look at henry's old hair

but yes, it's extremely funny. at one point they are held up in their quest to Defeat The Vampire In Honorable Duel by the fact that varney, being new in the neighborhood and having no friends, has no one to appoint as a second, and OBVIOUSLY you can't fight the vampire who attacked your family if he doesn't have a SECOND. that simply is not done. so they appoint admiral bell as his second, which goes about as well as you can imagine

Once Upon a Time really was that show that had so much potential. Like fairytales in the real world is not necessarily a new concept, but to be executed on this massive scale? It's so fresh and interesting

Like you have a good story about love prevailing over all else, echoing the Disney movies but still making it relevant to adults, award-winning actors, twisting the original tales into something darker, having one character represent several entities (Rumplestiltskin, Beast, Crocodile, etc), it all has the makings of something entirely unique. Taking the things of the past and molding them into something new, but still having it be nostalgic

If they had stuck it to maybe 3-4 seasons, having more of an overarching, several season villain rather than someone who pops up every now and then, limiting the amount of characters so it wouldn't feel too bloated, and making things actually have consequences, it could have been a real gem of a show

But noooo, we just have to stick Elsa and Anna in there, we just have to do the curse trope fifty times, we just have to bring in Maleficent and Ursula and Cruella and Hades and all of them having beef with Regina, we just have to have Belle staying with Rumple after all his toxic bullshit, we just have to create another lazy copy of Zelena as the next villain, we just have to Miraculous Ladybug everything after two minutes of drama so everything is perfectly fine, we just have to--
