#shipper swanqueen

[witchqueenvisenya]

the thing abt swanqueen in OUAT is I cannot ship them bc they're basically the blonde brunette versions of the SAME face

[shipping1addict]

When Lily saw Emma and Regina in 4x20 probably was like "this your wife or somethin?"

[caliburn-the-sword]

nothing has given me greater whiplash than seeing that there's a very specific breed of people that are very obsessed with both ouat and cw supergirl. i grew up on supergirl (or more specifically supercorp) and not only did kara danvers turn me gay but nia and brainiac transed my gender. i however only discovered ouat recently. is this my sign to finish supergirl

[exhaustedpirate]

Patiently waiting for OUAT's remake with the proper ending: Regina gets a proper redemption arc without bullying everyone else into accepting her. Regina never answered for her crimes. At least Emma and Killian got their True Love confirmed. And don't forget Graham's death was never resolved, he died and his killer never answered for it. 😂 Like, Regina became the "Good Queen", yeah, but at least Emma is living happily with her husband and children. Hehe! 😝 Democracy is a thing in modern days. You make mistakes and you fix'em (tho she can't really bring back Wish!Henry's grandparents back to life, can she? oof)

Patiently waiting for OUAT's remake with the proper ending: Swan-Mills family.

Swan Queen is the truest love.

At least they never made them share True Love's kiss with the beards. And don't forget that heart split fail 😂 Like, their "straight" relationships got canon, yeah, but never got the TL label while all others did. Hehe! 😝 Divorce is a thing in modern days. You make mistakes and you fix'em

[goosin-around]

another list of ouat tidbits that I have seen in so many swanqueen fics that I just regard them as canon

Henry calls Regina mom and Emma ma

Pongo loves Regina

Snow and David basically adopted Regina as their fixer upper daughter in law

The swan-mills family do not call Neal Jr. by his name, ever

Granny likes Regina a lot but doesn't ever admit it

Kathren and Regina made up

Tink and Regina are buddies

Ruby and Emma are buddies

Henry is the biggest swanqueen shipper you will ever meet

emma is an insanely jealous person and she totally flipped out when she found out about Mal and Reginas thing back in the EF

Emma is also very strong

regina is a total bottom

I happen to have a friendgroup that is mostly comprised of f/f shippers (swanqueen, rhaenicent, korrasami) and this year I got into m/m shipping because of... yeah you guessed it two best friends in anime and before I was strictly a het shipper.

So I started noticing how they changed their reactions about the things I was telling about my new ship.

It started with eyerolls and afterward it turned into them constantly insisting that whatever I like is not canon (as though I care?) and never will be so I better stop acting like it is anything special. It didn't sound like the dudebro 'they're just friends' argument that is very prevalent in the anime bro circles but from the tone it definitely felt that way.

I never got that treatment before when I was writing my het fics, now looking back perhaps it was because I was writing those het ships non traditional gender roles and such.

And whenever I try to bring up that its making me uncomfortable they insist that its just them preparing me and letting me know how things are in shonen animes so I won't get my hopes up. But I don't know it still feels very passive aggressive to me.

I have had this friend group for more than 5 years and I never thought that shipping preference can turn people so 180.

Hi guys this is a question for the f/f shippers out there:

[taintedcigs]

LMAOOO ME AT 13-14 BEING OBSESSED WITH QUEERBAITING WLW SHIPS AND CANON WLW SHIPS AND THEN THINKING IM STRAIGHT😭😭

the queerbaiting wlw ships in question🫣😵‍💫

canon wlw ships i was obsessed with🤭🤭

BUT YEAH. TOTALLY 100% STRAIGHT😭😭

Current bisexual me screaming

Preteen me: guess I’ll never know

Tagging @taintedcigs cause our convo inspired this 🤣

I've been thinking about (thanks to @mjo8 ) season 6 (Once Upon a Time.)

Let me tell you how much I hated this season. I hated it. So much.

And...I was trying to put my finger on why, and I think I know. I think the writers tried so hard to make something new, something we hadn't seen before, that they fell back on something we didn't care about. I don't know if they expected to get a renewal, but considering how s6 ends, I don't think so.

So, knowing that this was the last season, why would you choose to introduce a NEW villain, who we don't have time to care about? When you have a bunch of loose threads you haven't tied up yet?

When Emma starts to have her vision of dueling a hooded figure and dying , and she tells her family, Regina says "you think it's me under the hood?" AND WHAT BETTER FORESHADOWING IS THERE? Literally these are the two characters we have grown to love and care about over 6 seasons. Even ignoring the SwanQueen shippers pov, Emma and Regina's friendship is SO important to the show. So WHY o WHY don't you let them be pitched against each other again? Why don't you have Regina BE the villain again? (Would've also been a great callback to s1) Why don't you let Emma pull her back from the darkness again?

I get it, they'd done that twice already, but wouldn't it have been better than the stupid Jekyll and Hyde Queen and Regina situation? They could've avoided that and let Regina actually be evil for five minutes again, considering her true love had just been evaporated. I think they were afraid we'd (the viewers) would turn against her, but we fell in love with her in season 1, WHEN SHE WAS ACTUALLY EVIL.

Good lord, I didn't care about the black fairy, I barely had time to get to know her. I didn't care about what's his name Rumple and Belle's son, I didn't know him!! (And, despite what people on reddit told me, I don't see anyone talking about them in fandom spaces today hmm🤔)

Anyway, rant over. Season 6 could've been good.

Hook, queer ships and sexism in fandom.

I know us swanqueen shippers tend to collectively hate Hook and shit on him, but I personally do like the idea of a nice and supportive Hook that push Emma and Regina together, that is supportive of their relationship and is not just an overall shitty guy.

Like, I get that a lot of us hate him (honestly I find him boring each time I watch the show), but in fanfictions, do we really have to just have him play the bad guy role over and over again instead of giving him a nice role? Can't we write fix-its where he is different?

I mean, that's what fan work is about, isn't it? I get some of us just want to write angst and that's okay. But if we just want to write our sapphic ship, why do we have to make the canon male love interest a villain to do it?

It's an honnest question really. Because I know I've done it, and not just with Hook and swanqueen. Even if the canon straight ship is shitty and that's why i/we are shipping the queer non-canon ship instead, why automatically making the guy a villain? Why making a guy a villain, period ?

No really, I feel like a lot of queer fangirl shippers tend to make male love interests into villains. And I think that's because a lot of us are queer girls or at least afab people, who ended up with a lot of resentment towards men in general.

I'm not going in the "you're a lesbian because you hate men" territory. I'm just saying that we just had those experiences with men, that left us angry and wary. And like a lot of feminists that lost sight of what they are fighting for (equality between sexes. Not women supremacy) we sometimes let ourselves go down that hill of anger and trauma.

I think we need to ask ourselves why we do what we do, why we write what we write. Do we write that male character as a bad guy because the show really depicts all the red flags? Or is it because of our internalised bias about men?

Again, it's an honnest question. Sometimes the guy is just that bad. But is he, always? I think that's a good question to keep in mind.

[pyxilate]

y’all I respect captainswan I really do but I just encountered this user on Reddit who called swanqueen stupid and now im just genuinely curious

Edit for clarification: I myself am a SQ shipper. But I do wanna know y’all’s opinions. Why do you like the ship you like? What’s your favorite moment between them? Gimme the deets.

[ouatsnark]

i just read the worst fanfic of all time and the context is emma breaking off her engagement because hook was physically abusive to her (???) and one of the excerpts include “When a woman says ‘no’,” Regina plunged her hand into Killian’s back and yanked out his heart, “she means no.” HEFJIBDRDV. i will send you the link if i have to it's just so bad it includes emma yelling at her parents with stuff you debunked like giving her up to save her life from regina. sq shippers really hate emma omg

Yes. SwanQueen and Evil Regals 100% hate Emma Swan. Well, they love season 1 Emma but they never wanted her to change. Emma is only a stand in for themselves. They would much rather see Emma under Regina’s heel and being called “idiot” by Regina than seeing Emma’s complete joy with Killian Jones calling her “amazing, beautiful, strong etc”. And this is based on the edits I’ve had the misfortune of seeing on Instagram because no one respects tags over there. The “art” they make would have people’s heads spinning if the gender roles were reversed but it’s somehow perfectly acceptable as long as it’s Regina. It’s OK because they find Regina hot and they themselves want to be abused by her.

If SwanQueeners had an ounce of honesty and even remotely tried to follow/understand canon (and acknowledge where the writing got it wrong), then they'd know that Emma should be 100x more angry at Regina for abusing Henry, making her an orphan and just overall treating her and her loved ones like they are lesser. But those that favor Regina aren’t honest about canon at all or wish to recognize how heinous the writing was when it came to how the other characters handled Regina. That and they’d have to come to terms with how crappy of a character Regina is.

And it’s really hysterical having Regina standing against domestic violence when Regina was the one that got away with so much abuse. Regina abused Henry and Snow. Regina also kept a sex slave (Graham in the EF)n and forced him into a relationship with her against his will (cursed Graham). I actually talked recently about how Regina is more like to abuse her partner than Killian Jones: CaptainSwan abusive marriage debunked.

I mean which one has struck Emma out of jealousy? Or anger? Or just enjoyed being cruel to her? Their queen!

So they can write all of the AU and highly OOC fanfic they want but at the end of the day canon reigns supreme. Because using their logic, Regina is the one more likely to abuse Emma because Regina has a history of doing so even after her redemption and she was never consumed by evil in the first place.

[poisonappleeater]

this is genuinely the funniest shit ive ever read GO READ IT RN SWANQUEEN SHIPPERS

[withgirl-sq]

New rizzles shipper, huh? I'm very sorry for you, really.

I’m only on season 3 but at least I’m going in knowing it won’t happen unlike with SwanQueen 😂

My problem is I’ve dreamed of a fanfic that I don’t have time to write 😂😂😂

[countrynerddancer]

On today's Um, Actually, I loved the shiny question "Ship or Shipped" where they had to guess if something was the name of a vessel or a fan-beloved relationship.

I have so many suggestions for what to use in future iterations of this game (not ships, idgaf about vessel names, but ship names are fucking awesome)

Drapple - I want to hear them explain crack shipping

Dumbledrop - same as above

Captain Swan or SwanQueen - These might be genuinely confusing. There's so many OUAT pairing names that work.

Olicity

Stark Spangled Banner - shipping, it's not just for couples

Merthur - even if you don't know about them, it's pretty easy to guess

Harmony - good cuz it's just a word, but also a good portmanteau ship name

Blumendrei - another throuple and an indirect ship name

tbh I gotta ask my sibs for good fandoms for really good ship names, I know them but can't think of them.

OH OBVIOUSLY...

The Premise - pay some homage to our foremothers, the mighty Spirk shippers of times past and present.

[murcielagatito]
