#regina stans don't kill me

[caliburn-the-sword]

like yeah, regina was bad because she committed all that genocide and child abuse and what not, but you know what?? she was also SUCH a major L, and that's the biggest crime of all. like whenever making fun of killian, she just ALWAYS targets the low hanging fruit, his disability or gender non conformity, and it's like bro, at least be CREATIVE with it. tell him that JD's calling because he wants his coat back. not only would that be ten times funnier than any insult regina's ever used (because it's not the same old recycled bs that she constantly uses), it would also COMPLETELY baffle him because he wouldn't get the reference, and that would probably hurt more than knowing exactly what he's being targeted for

[starberry-cupcake]

I come here with further updates on my gideon the ninth read as per the favorable responses in my previous shares . You asked for it, so you're gonna have to hear it (@lady-harrowhark maybe you'll have fun with this one)

previously, in gideon the ninth:

this happened

currently, having just finished chapter 29:

gideon had tea with the eighth

actually no, scratch that, gideon sat in a chair while mayonnaise uncle's hair got braided, they never got to the tea part

false advertising

mayonnaise uncle gave half info, as people seem to like doing here

duracell bunny nephew stepped up and called him out

good for him, actually

you go, duracell bunny nephew!

it's gonna end terribly for him, but we stan

gideon left that Situation and found teacher saying ominous things

gideon left that Other Situation and found regina george twin being intense with swords

chad came in and she bit him

I see a trend alert with these third necromancers and the biting

gideon left that Yet Another Situation and went to the ninth room

gideon proceeded to open the closet

gideon got brad pitt-ed in the movie seven, but instead of gwyneth paltrow's head it was protesilaus'

it's not gideon's best day

now, hear me out

I know how this will sound, but hear me out

I haven't read past this scene, I haven't started chapter 30, all I know is she found the box

but hear me out here

just, just listen

hear me out

I still blame dulcinea

no, no, come back, I have a theory

I don't trust her, she's shady, she's too suspiciously fake kind, she's desperate and she has mentioned wanting gideon as a cavalier

I think it was back when gideon was turned into a blood sprinkler during the whole temple run key second trial thingy

or maybe later, after jeannemary left the mortal plain, but she said it at some point

and gideon has told harrow she wants her to free her to be dulcinea's cavalier

which, over my dead body

or maybe not, people here are dropping like flies, but anyway

dulcinea knows things others don't seem to know

she says things that gideon doesn't follow up on because she's horny and dense (affectionately)

I don't trust dulcinea

in case that wasn't clear

so what if

hear me out

seriously, I swear I have a point

what if harrow was set up?????

no, no, come back, listen, listen

gideon said something like the box wasn't well hidden

and I doubt very very very much that if harrowhark harrowldine harrowmina nonagesimus would have ended a bitch, she would have half-assed anything, much less the hiding

like, she'd either kill in plain sight and make a show of it or make it disappear and nobody would know

harrowhark harroweena harrowline nonagesimus pulled an edward and alphonse on her parents and only 3 people know she did

the entire system of these houses is unaware of that fact, as far as I know

so, if she wanted to hide a murder, I think, I hope, she would do better than this

also, keeping a head in a box doesn't seem her style, that's very haunted mansion and she's more halloween horror nights

so

what if she's been set up????

and gideon has like 3 brain cells working right now so she might fall for it??? hopefully not but maybe????

and side with my mortal enemy dulcinea instead?????

am I crazy????

am I too latina for this and seeing things???

is dulcinea the soraya montenegro of this story??? or is it me??? am I the drama???

this might all be absolute nonsense and in like 1 chapter I might be proven wrong but I don't trust dulcinea del toboso the seventh and I never will

if you pictured the always sunny meme while reading, that's the right energy I'm trying to share here

[ouatsnark]

i saw some rlly odd comments, might have been old I didnt check, on videos of Owen Flynn/Greg Mendells' backstory that say Regina didnt kill his father, she just buried fake bones?? But why would she do that??? Why would she want to make it look like a crime occurred if she had no plans for it like the framing in S1? Also, would you say Owen/Greg is another example of Regina's victims being made to seem in the wrong? HIs plans were p bad but what Regina did to him as a kid was too

When I say that Regina Apologists lack common sense this is a prime example. I've never heard this before but it is hysterical. Sorry, queenie stans, but Regina murdered Owen/Greg's father!

Dead. I killed him. The minute you ran away… Don't believe me? Go see for yourself. I buried his body at your campsite. I doubt he gets many visitors there.

Why would Regina keep Greg's father around? It's not like she has a problem killing people in her way. And since he never returned for his son and he is nowhere in Storybrook, then you have to take Regina's admission here at face value.

And about the bones? Regina was busy trying to murder the entire town and kidnap Henry but sure she placed fake bones at the campsite just to further abuse a man whose childhood she destroyed... even if those bones weren't his father's, so? The man is still dead and she still killed him.

And yes, Owen/Greg is an example of Regina's victims becoming the villain because the writers and therefore Regina NEVER acknowledge to anyone about the part Regina played in the whole thing. No one knows that she destroyed Greg/Owen's life and that he wouldn't be there getting revenge if not for her. Everyone knows that Hook left her to be tortured by them, though. They don't know that she just tried to kill him... And people wonder why I hate her character.

[wily-one24]

It was intresting to read your opinions about ouat, soo can u maybe do Regina Mills also? 🫶🏻 (+ I gotta say that I agree what you said about hook)

I am glad you asked, Nonny, because I felt sliughtly guilty. I answered the "choose between Emma and Regina" ask and chose Emma, BEFORE I answered the "choose from these three SVU" characters and in that one I did all three.

I was like "Man, I should have done Regina as well". So, Nonny,. great minds think alike. :D

REGINA MILLS:

Before we start, I had to use this gif, because for over a decade it was my AO3 profile pic "Bitch Fucked With My Apples", until I changed it to Sheryl Crow to match my tumblr pic.

Onto the questions!

--> How I feel about this character:

I do so love Regina. Not as much as Emma, and I am not attracted to Regina the way I am Emma, but I love her just the same.

Her entire story is one of tragedy. All she wanted was to be good, to be left alone with her horse and her stable boy and maybe an apple tree.

And she was used and abused by everyone around her for their own nefarious purposes. Her mother abused her from childhood and then sold her as a young teenager to an uncaring king. Who, let's be real Disney, was not just "looking for a mother for Snow". He wanted a young wife to bed. And she was NOT WILLING.

Rumple came along and twisted her helplessness into vengeance.

And the world called her Evil.

And even then, exactly how evil was she. Okay, sure, if you're Snow White (or one of her friends), she was pretty lethal, and she did slaughter an entire village for hiding Snow. But apart from Snow, she was pretty non chalant. She wanted to be loved as a ruler.

Yes, she did EVIL things, but she was a pawn and she didn't choose that title, nor that life.

The curse? The big Curse to End All Curses?

She bought them to Maine and gave them safety, steady jobs, no inflation at all 80s prices forever more, running water, electricity, medicine, instant college educations.

And all those ungrateful bitches wanted to do was return to shitting in the forest and hunting their dinner amidst dying of dystentery and a random arrow.

Like, come on. If you really want to be evil, don't make Snow a goddamn grade school teacher who builds bird houses. OH LOOK,, there's Mary Margaret the garbage collector. Mary Margaret, the local stripper. The homeless drug addict. Locked up in a nuthouse. A maid. Anything, but a sweet, comfortable, happy, well fed teacher who still smiles and sings.

I said it in the other post, I'll say it here. Emma internalised her pain and sabotaged herself. Regina externalised it and hurt those around her. But it all stems from that lost, lonely little girl that was abused and had all her hopes dashed, that was never loved the way they deserved.

I do love Regina and that is all (Ha!) I am saying until further down.

--> All the people I ship romantically with this character:

(I love how this is worded: 1. "romantically", like... definitely not just "fuck nasty" buddies, but romance. 2. "People" with a "Character", ... can I name just any random person? Like, let's get Regina Mills together with Susan Sarandon. Let's go!)

Ahem.

Emma Swan, obviously. You can't really ask for more. They were perfect for each other. There are so many parallels in their stories, and they helped each other grow. They cared sincerely for each other. This is a no brainer.

But also... let's not rule out all the other ladies, Snow, Ruby, Belle. Maybe a little Jefferson. Daniel (for the hopeless teen romantic Regina). David for a little bit.

Imaginary Regina is quite the machine.

--> My non-romantic OTP for this character:

Is Henry too obvious? Come on.

Snow eventually. Zelena eventually, Kathryn to begin with (you know, before she had her kidnapped and killed and then unkilled, that kinda takes the bloom off the rose a little).

--> My unpopular opinion of this character:

The Lana stans ruined Regina for me*. I can't enjoy her as much as I would like, because... they're very rabid and they oversaturated the internet and a lot of them became Swan Queen fans, but a very specific sort of Swan Queen fan wherein it was obvious they were just there for Regina and they really hated Emma in an ugly way.

I think Lana is really great, everything I have heard about her is good. That said, i just can't... I can't really enjoy anything in terms of Lana because of her fans. So, I just steer well away.

These people and their zealotry ruined the actress and the character and that's tragic all in its own.

(*I am speaking of a very certain sort of fan, I am sure a lot of Lana fans are great, but we all know who I am speaking of).

Fandom overall became very Regina Centric or Hook Centric, to the exclusion of all else. This bled heavily into the viciousness of Swan Queen Vs Captain Swan... but I stayed out of it and just wrote my little fics and read others.

-->One thing I wish would happen/had happened for this character:

I'm not sure I can answer this question, because I still to this day have not finished watches S7 all the way through. I have watched MAYBE three episodes and then have to stop, I just... cannot get into it. So I don't really *know* what happened to her.

I know she got a very short haircut, wore singlet shirts, and ran a bar. That's what I know. So... I mean, maybe that made her happy? Chase your dreams, I guess.

Obviously "I wish Swan Queen became canon".

Oooh, I know. I wish she had gotten some justice, especially against Rumple.

(but, oh no, Rumple was a MAN and had to have a giant redemption arc and become woobified)

My old AO3 pp for reference:

[thereareeyesinsidethetrees]

Making a playlist for my fangame/AU for you to try and analyze because i think it'd be v interesting to see! Also i will totally take you up on the offer to ramble about AU's if it's still available,,,

okay, let's see how close and/or far i get

starting with the songs i know:

Come Along by Cosmo Sheldrake. now i've never actually looked up the lyrics of this one (just been guessing at them which. i often mess up with), but according to the ~internet~ it's meant to be a sort of invitation away from real life's static-ness, to instead live with a bit of whimsy. one source also says it's also about "embracing the present and cherishing life's fleeting moments"

so, one possibility is that this is related to the au/fangame in an "escaping your real life and jumping into the whimsy that is this gravity falls game" sort of way. if we're counting the second bit, part of the story could be about refusing to let the game go? always coming back to it, never truly letting it end?

alternatively, the "cherishing life's fleeting moments" is about the show and "embracing the present" is about finding new joys in life. third possibility is that i'm overthinking this

A Sadness Runs Through Him by The Hoosiers. okay, i can connect this one to a few characters:

-the stan twins (or just one, lots of people just go with one)

-the player character (going hand-in-hand with the "not wanting to let the game end" thing)

-...bill cipher? (again, if you can't let the game die, you can't let any of it truly die, and that includes the antagonist. the lines 'asked me to pray to the god he doesn't believe in' and 'don't look at me with those eyes' work especially well for bill, with the former possibly being linked to the axolotl. considering that he called out for the axolotl to revive him and, in this scenario, he came back without its help. or maybe it's just. an actual god. who knows what bill believes)

Two Birds by Regina Spektor

-Mabel and Dipper or Stan and Ford work, of course. however-

-Bill and the player??? i'm sorry i caught this string and i'm refusing to let ago until i get to a song that proves me wrong

-adding third idea after reading back through this: one bird is the player, the other is representative of either the show or other people in the player's life. the player doesn't want to let go, and ends up in an unfortunate situation as a result, with the other "bird" leaving without them

Ruler of Everything by Tally Hall

I'm gonna say this one is also related to Bill Cipher, for a few reasons- one, the line "do you like how my face disintegrates into chalk?" well. it did kinda do that when stan punched him didn't it

second reason is because the whole back-and-forth section of the song could be between the player and bill. "i saw you slobber over clovers on the side of the hill, i was observing the birds, circle in for the kill" could be a reference to bill's death, with him becoming a stone statue in the woods. in the final episode, you see a bird land on his hand- hence, i was observing the birds. "circle in for the kill" could be the player, rightfully, not trusting him not to try mass murder again

there's also "i've been you, i know you, your facade is a scam" coming from the player. they've watched the show, they've probably interacted with discussions about it, fanart, fanfiction, possibly even made some of their own. they know bill as a character and, more importantly, they know he's not an honest one

(the rest of these are songs i had never listened to before now)

Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega, DNA

i'll be honest i've got nothing for the lyrics. i suppose there's just too many ways i could interpret it- for example, applying the "player theory" to this one, the player could be the singer or the person outside the window. bill could be the dead person in the newspaper, or it could be someone unrelated. the singer could be one of the characters (leaning towards ford, considering he is the coffee guy) and the waiter is the player, or the person outside the window is still the player, or the person exchanging hellos is the player. you see what i mean?

Obstacles by Syd Matters

mmm not entirely sure about this one, but i think it could be from the perspective of the characters? the blizzard/changing weather is the world the player's trapped them in, the foreseeing obstacles is the player themselves, and the playing hide and seek in waterfalls represents the world before the game. the world as in the show (especially considering that the cave behind the waterfall is pretty important whenever it comes up)

Constellations by The Oh Hellos

ditto, but a little more optimistic (the mention of "good intentions", assuming that the player isn't refusing to let the game end out of maliciousness + "everything you thought you knew will fall apart, but you'll be alright" acknowledging that what's happening is terrible and it's not likely that life for the characters will not return to normal, but they will persist throughout it)

Willow Tree March by The Paper Kites

i lied i have heard this one i just never knew the name. bonus points for having one of my favorite songs in your playlist and therefore helping me rediscover it. anyway, continuing with our player theory, this one could be a more...guilty approach to it? guilty in that the lyrics ("with your lust and your greed weighing down" and "and you weaken your love and you hold it above your head" for example) seem to be more accusatory, and the repeated lyrics "we all still die" and "this tree, it will die (without leaves)" make me think the singer represents the characters, trying to get across the idea that it doesn't matter how hard the player holds on to the game, it'll inevitably die anyway

Just A Man from EPIC: The Musical

not entirely sure about this one either. possibly, the player realizing that not letting the game end is hurting the characters and reflecting on that?

Viva La Vida by Coldplay

this feels like more of a bill song than a player song

Conclusion!

alright, so my guess at this au is that it's sort of about a self-aware game? the player plays through the game, then plays it again and again and again and refuses to let it rest. overtime, this starts to wear down on the characters and causes things to go wrong, such as reviving bill cipher. at some point, the characters begin to directly plead with the player to let the game end and, possibly after some sort of tragedy or new route via bill that kills or otherwise harms the other characters, the player start to realize that it's their own actions that are causing the game to break down. what exactly happens after that? depends on the player

no idea how close i was, but! good playlist i thoroughly enjoyed going through it :]

My thoughts on MoM [SPOILERS]

Seriously, a lot of spoilers. All the spoilers.

Nobody asked for my opinion but I want to share it anyway :)

I like that there's more body horror/gore in this than in any other MCU film (it's still not a lot but it is a start). The Avengers fighting without ever getting seriously injured/bleeding always bothered me (there's still some of that but, again, it's a start).

Visually, the movie is almost perfect. It looks beautiful and I love the visual effects used for Wanda's magic (like when she makes Black Bolt's mouth dissappear!!), the only thing that kind of bothered me was the first scene with "zombie strange", his face looked weird? But it got better later.

The fight scenes!! Are!! So!! Good!! This is just my opinion since I have no technical knowledge, but I went to the cinema expecting there to be a lot of cool magic in the fights and that's exactly what I got. Thank you. (Except for the fight with the music notes. I don't think I like it)

This is just one random scene but CAPTAIN CARTER DYING BY HER OWN SHIELD!! I LOVED THAT. I knew she was going to die from the moment she showed up obviously, but like that?? And showing us the bloody shield afterwards??? Amazing. Again, wish there was more blood instead of focusing on her face for that scene, but you can't have everything.

Now, onto the things I did not like. America Chavez, for instance.

*sighs* What can I even say about her? Her character makes no sense. She was introduced for no reason and has nothing to do with the original comic book character (which was expected). They changed her backstory, her race and gave her the most random power possible. Who is she? How did she get this power? Why are her portals star shaped for some reason? If they just needed a way to travel between universes, almost anything else would've worked better than just messing up a pre-existent character who has nothing to do with the multiverse.

It seems to me that Marvel just wanted to introduce a new character for the sake of it, to make more movies and TV shows. There has to be some ulterior motive, because, in the context of the story they're telling, there is no reason for her to exist at all.

Wanda could use anything else to travel between universes. An ancient spell in the Darkhold? A relic? Anything. I can't remember what they use in What If but I'm pretty sure that would've been a better option as well.

By the way, What If is so much better than this movie. If they'd just used the plot of the last two episodes but made Wanda the villain, this movie could've been so good. Why make everyone think that MoM was inspired by What If when the only real connection to it is Captain Carter? Who shows up in one scene for pure fan-service?

"Dark Strange" doesn't even show up. I'm so mad about that. We could've gotten all the "Guardians of the Multiverse", but instead we got "The Illuminati??? Why??

I get that it's fan-service and it was fun to watch, but fan-service can be done better than this ok.

I did like the "I can do this all day" scene, though. I was the fan being served.

Also, America's backstory of being separated from her family who probably died and spending years traveling across the multiverse is a little too similar to Sylvie's backstory to me. Seems a bit lazy, specially given that the same guy wrote both scrips.

I think the movie focused too much on America and Wanda.

About Wanda, I can appreciate a crazy and very powerful female villain. Not caring who she kills, just trying to find her family, I enjoy that (I'm a Regina Mills stan ok this is my thing). But she was defeated way too easily.

I mean, since Wandavision Marvel build up a lot the idea of the Scarlet Witch being very powerful and DESTINED TO RULE OR DESTROY THE COSMOS. I don't buy that a girl who couldn't even control her power fifteen minutes ago defeated her. And just by making her see her kids being afraid of her??? No. A truly unhinged Wanda would not have cared and simply found a different version of her kids, that's the amount of crazy I'd like to see.

One of the most powerful beings in the MCU was defeated by a 15 year old and then died. I hate that. I don't think it makes for a good story or for a good redemption arc or whatever they were trying to do.

Either let Wanda be actually evil and kill her or let her have some peace. The woman hasn't been happy for a day since she was 10, she deserves it.

I'm not even a Wanda stan but the way she died is terrible I hate it so much. I know she's gonna come back somehow but still.

Anyways that's it please tell me what you think and if you disagree pls don't be rude about it <3

[grace52373]

I'm curious. You say Emma was only being a compassionate hero again in her scenes with Rumple and Gideon in 6x19. So you don't think she had a right to be defensive about everything Gideon had put her through, before she found out Fiona had his heart? Even before he showed up she had been haunted by those visions of her death by him. Do SF/RB shippers even care about her at all or anything she's been through? Or did you only see her as a prize for Nealfire to win?

Okay, pardon my french but your an asshole and I refuse to be nice to any of you jerks anymore! First of all, leave my fellow shippers out of this! Secondly, no unlike CS assholes and Hook stans we swanfire fans do not think of Emma as a prize for Neal or any man so piss off on that! We ship Emma and Neal because guess what, Neal cares about Emma. He made one freaking mistake when Hook has hurt her several times over. Neal puts her first and doesn’t push her so yes, we want them together because we think they are good for each other. Swan queen fans think Regina is good for Emma as well. You’ll find we do care about Emma and ship her with happiness!

As to Emma and Gideon, yes Emma had a right to be defensive and not trust him but she never was cruel or without compassion before. Since when has Emma ever been and I challenge you or anyone else to tell me that, a kill first and ask questions later girl. Emma has always been compassionate and understanding as befits a savior. Therefore Snow and Emma refusing to give Gideon any chances other than the one when they have given, let’s see here, 

Regina

Hook

SnowQueen

Zelena

(add on to the list if anyone can think of any!)

multiple chances! Why not Gideon? All those I listed where after Emma and her family but Gideon doesn’t get a second chance? Why the HELL NOT??? Also to cruelly call killing Gideon a mother and daughter bonding experience to his parent’s faces was sick, cruel, and disgusting and showed that in that moment, Snow and Emma were villains and not heroes! I am sorry if that upsets you but get mad at the writers not the rest of us for calling a spade a spade!

Yes I know she had visions and Rumple could have told her, they aren’t always what they seem. In ep19 and in the finale, Emma finally gets that killing Gideon will turn her dark because she knows he is under the BF’s control and knows she was wrong to go after him and cruelly hurt his parents like she did by saying their son can’t change and she will destroy him!

My fellow shipmates are able to call out our favorites when they do wrong, agree or disagree as we may with each other but you stans have your heads so far up the character’s asses you can’t even see the light of day or the truth anymore!

It sucks to be you because you caught me on a stressful day at work where I have a zillion things to do and not a lot of time and a presentation to do next Tuesday on my adult summer reading program and a computer lab co-worker that wants me to sit down and write  for 10 to 20 books, the url, the catalog link, the title, the author, the isbn number, and the publishers in order to get my summer reading lists published on the web site when they never did that before so I am ready to tear somebody’s head off and guess what, jerk anon, that person is you!

Sorry to my fellow followers and RB and Swan fire and Swan queen fandoms for ranting like an insane bitch!

[ayatheswiftie]

Look What You Made Me Do

Look what you made me do, Taylor Swift! Hahaha, nah fb friends, this is nothing, I'm worse on twitter so say what you want I'm doing it. XD For those who do not understand Taylor Swift's new major music video, here it is explained by details. made by yours truly cos im a 100% stan for years.

1. The first part This basically depicts the fall of her reputation in the middle of last year at the release of Kim Kardashian's edited snapchat video of Taylor and Kanye West's phonecall where she agreed that he would make a song and include "Taylor and I might still have sex" in the lyrics. But Taylor didn't know the next line "Cos I made that bitch famous", however, the haters already sided with KimYe and called Taylor, snake, liar, traitor, etc. A hater in Australia even painted a mural of Taylor Swift, RIP, 1989-2016. After that, Tay-tay went into hiatus for months.

2. NILS SJOBERG When Calvin Harris, Taylor's ex, released the song "This is What You Came For", there was co-writer that named Nils Sjoberg, and later on, it was revealed that it was Taylor Swift, who also sang on the song. However, Calvin was angry that it was revealed by Taylor's team, because they agreed that it was kept secret, hence the pseudonym. So in the video, she killed the pseudonym.

3. Bathtub and diamonds and the 1 dollar bill During the 2016 Grammy's Pro Sessions, it was talked that whenever Taylor and her boyfriend breaks up, she goes to her bath tub filled with diamonds and pearls and cries there. So she decided to use that idea, but she's not crying even. And that one dollar bill, is the bill she won from her trial.

4. The Snakes So in the middle of last year until then, after the KimYe issue, Taylor was flooded with spam comments from haters on her instagram, facebook and twitter of the snake emojis. The instagram ceo even allowed Taylor the option to block the snake emoji comments on her ig, so that she couldn't see them. That maybe the reason why she deleted all her social media posts, to remove the snakes. Then again, Taylor now used the snake to mock herself as how the media mocked her. She's the queen of snakes, you say? Well, say no more.

5. ET TU BRUTE You can research, but this phrase is a latin phrase that means a surprise when you got betrayed by a person you saw as a friend. Julius Ceasar use it to his friend Brutus, when he found out he was a traitor. Much as like Kanye West, who Taylor forgiven in 2014, and still betrayed her on 2016.

6. Car crash and the Grammy and the Media Well, it's self-explanatory. You know how the media sucks, waiting for an actual receipt of when Taylor is gonna crash her career, but still every single album she ends up with a Grammy award. Lmao.

7. The Streaming Company Robbery I think this depicts to streaming companies who don't pay the artist as much as they deserved. Remember when Taylor Swift removed her playlist from Spotify and the company apologized? 6 million dollars was not enough. Maybe the two latters compromised and promised Taylor and other artists to pay them rightfully that's why she returned her lists to Spotify. Edit: The Streaming company was APPLE MUSIC! I remembered when she wrote that letter to Apple to pay the right amount to the artists. And th haters called Taylor money-hungry? Well ok here ya go with her robbing money

8. The Famous Taylor Swift Squad Lol, her squad is literally famous for being called out by the media that only models, white people and skinny people are allowed. They even said Taylor being the leader chooses her friends and rumoured that she's a very mean plastic, much like Regina George. Zendaya, Serayah and Kendall were a paft of her squad but they themselves even ended up betraying Taylor after not considering her side about the KimYe issue. So in the video, she turned them into plastic barbie dolls.

9. The Back-up Dancers and the I<3TS tank top How many back-up dancers? 8. Eight for eight exes. The latest ex-boyfriend, Tom Hiddleston, wore the I love TS tank top when they were back together last fouth of July last year. The media always portrays Taylor Swift as a needy woman who rides on a jet plane to get guys, and she is so clingy so they leave her. And she goes to her mansion, cries on a bath tub filled with diamonds and pearls and gets another guy again and make him wear I love TS tee and they leave her again and so on and so forth.

10. Basically killing her old self from the past eras before Reputation, I'm sad even, but she's done with all the bullshit and criticism. Haters want Taylor dead? Now, meet the new Taylor Swift. To explain, as what her director and dancers, her team and her remaining friends said on twitter themselves, The "old Taylor is dead" doesn't really mean Taylor has completely changed. She is still the same sweet, loving and kind celebrity that everyone knew and those who believed in her. It's just that sometimes, those who criticized and mocked her need a taste of their own karma too. And she has just given them what they wanted. As what Taylor herself said, "I will never change, but I will never stay the same either." Her music might change, looks might change, the iconic attires might change, but the personality and inside character will never ever ever change.

@taylorswift

[ouatsnark]

Okay. So.

I don't remember the name of the fic (probably wouldn't put it anyway) but I do remember that it's the one that absolutely made me stop reading fics with Swanqueen in it (which sucks because there's a rare pair I adore that has them in quite a few background fics).

Basically it went like this:

Emma and Hook were dating.

Emma then finds out from Regina about the time Hook tortured her and leaves him. Because 'it was too far'.

And I'm pretty sure it was set seasons after season 2.

And the fic did not at all address the reason Regina was being tortured (and if I remember correctly, Hook wasn't there for most of the torture if not all of it).

And if I remember correctly, Regina pinned the death of Kurt on Greg. Which if is the case, just makes me even more mad remembering the fic.

I don't know if you'll be able to do anything with this but I just needed to rant/ramble about this because the fic just made no sense to me. It could be because I quit half way through.

But yeah. Absolutely wild.

That is one of SwanQueen’s most famous talking points “if Emma knew Hook tortured Regina she’d leave him!” While ignoring the elephants in the room: Graham & Henry. If Emma knew that Regina raped, enslaved then murdered Graham when she could no longer control him, would Emma not see justice served? What if the show had acknowledged the years of child abuse that Regina inflicted on Henry? What about the fact that Regina herself has tortured people? Is that OK because she’s a woman? How are these NOT lines too far?

Emma should’ve banned Regina from their lives. But I am forgetting that Regina stans refuse to acknowledge how vile their queen is by either putting their heads in the sand or blaming her actions on everyone else just as the show wrongly taught them that personal responsibility isn’t a thing if you’re a beautiful woman crying about their life. In reality Emma should see Regina’s torture as justice seeing that Regina never paid for a thing she ever did.

I did talk about this in my PSA: Hook didn’t torture Regina post. You are correct that Hook was not there for the torture. She had just tried to kill him so he left her to go hunt for Rumple. He did not participate but he also didn’t help her. It’s not surprising me if the fic didn’t address why Regina was being tortured because her apologists refuse to accept the facts: Regina was being tortured by her victim for killing his father. The show does a good job of glossing over that too and making Regina the victim so you cant fully blame their ignorance on them.

I don’t remember if Regina blamed Greg/Owen for his father’s death but it wouldn’t surprise me. She also throws the whole thing back in Killian’s face yet no one mentions the fact that she’d just tried to kill him and was trying to kill everyone else at the time. But we cant have that, can we? Regina is just an innocent little smol bean. Bleh.

P.S. I think Emma did know because of the look she gives Killian when Regina brings it up in season 3. What now Regina Apologists??

[wickedwitzh]

at least Killian never tried to kill Emma or put her in a coma (you know he wouldn't have killed her in that sword fight so don't even start with that). at least Killian didn't canonly rape someone. You know what he also didn't do? Kill someone who Emma was getting close with and never confessed. Yet you complain that he didn't confess to killing her grandfather but Regina never confessed to killing graham. Killian and Regina are so similar they have the same back story actually.

sorry anon, this post baffles me because

a) i have 0 idea what are you referencing,

b) lmao you don’t have to tell me about Regina’s faults and sins, I’m not her stan, I just simply happen to hate this smug dumbass more,

c) weeeelll man idk if we can compare murdering Emma’s personality while being with and supposedly loving her withthe Evil Queen trying to put her in a coma when they were openly enemies

[reginaouatlover666]

I did watch all seven seasons of ouat time thank you very much fucker, so don't that Villain stans never watched the show and I'm not a villain stan , Regina changed okay! She did too learn from her mistakes, she became the way she was because of her mother! Regina was abused as a teen and you see this when cora has her restrained up in the air and when cora killed Henry her first love right in front of her so yeah she was tramuatized and part of that is being angry, she got hurt several times but diffrent people, after being hurt so many times yes your gonna be angry at evryone and everything cause deep down your scared of getting hurt again and your angry take it from me I know and no I'm not saying everything she did was okay cause it wasn't but I love her because she changed, people can grow and change it takes time but Regina grew a lot , she learned how to love, she learned from her mistakes, she did hurt Henry yes but she didn't keep on doing it like Cora did to her, she tried so hard to get Henry's approval and for henry to love her and she did that when she changed you can see how much she cares about him later on , she also helps save stroybrooke in the end, Regina as Ronnie also helped break the last curse so bite me bitch

How you know the Villain stans didn't watch OUAT

I mean hot damn people at what point do you just admit tyou read too much fanfic???

“Rumple didn’t abuse Belle!”

Yeah he did.

“Regina isn’t a rapist!”

Yeah she is.

“Regina didn’t abuse Henry”

Yeah she did.

“Regina didn’t murder children!”

Yeah she did.

“Regina was consumed by darkness.”

No she wasn’t.

“Wish Hook didn’t plot rape & murder.”

Yeah he did.

“Wish Hook didn’t abandon his daughter”

Yeah he did.

“Rumple didn’t marry Belle while lying about the dagger”

Wrong. Proposed & married her!

“Cora abused Regina her entire life”

That's a head canon because canon didn’t tell us that.

“King Leo raped Regina”

Another head canon because the writers did not show us that. They in fact showed the opposite. So. No he didn’t.

“Hook tortured Regina”

No he didn’t.

“Emma sacrificed herself to the darkness for Regina only”

No she didn’t. It was for the town.

“Hook raped Belle”

No he didn’t.

“Regina chose Emma over Robin.”

No, she chose to use Belle for blackmail.

“Regina was forced to marry the king”

Cora was gone. She chose to stay.

“Regina never assaulted Emma”

Yeah she did. Attempted murder, choking, punching, tossing, controlling & dagger.

“Hook forced Emma to tell secrets”

Hook asked. Regina forced with the dagger & her other half spied on private convos. Stfu.

“Hook SAed Regina with his hook”

No he didn’t.

“Hook stalked Emma”

Never happened. She made it a point to involve him.

“Hook forced Emma to date him”

Just say you hate CS & go. You clearly think Emma is weak & incapable of thinking for herself. Which I get that’s how y’all want her for Regina or Neal but it isn’t who she is.

“Emma opened up to Regina in their 1st scene which proves Emma only opens up to Regina w/o being forced”

Emma discussed it being her birthday & told Regina about a wish. That was it. She confessed her actual fears to Killian and he didn’t use a dagger on her like Regina had to and Regina still failed.

"Swanqueen or Swanfire were planned - CaptainSwan was forced"

Nope. Emma was never ending up with the woman who destroyed her life & the life of her mother. Emma was also never reconciling with the man that left her to take the fall for his crimes. CaptainSwan always & forever.
