#the charming swan mills stiltskin family is full of gamers

[ouatsqincorrect]

ok so i have many thoughts about this family and their secret obsession with video games and i'm very excited to talk about it.

it starts one night during family dinner when henry suggests they play one round of mario kart (they end up playing five)

he doesn't expect them to become so competitive, but these are the people who are used to kicking ass on a daily basis and they just wanna see the little guys cross the finish line

snow worries about the safety of each character and takes the longest to choose who she's gonna play (ultimately, she goes with baby mario because "he's just so cute" but she's still afraid he'll get hurt somehow--henry explains that's not how it works)

zelena tells rumple he should be bowser and finds herself to be incredibly funny

everyone (except henry) is shocked when regina wins the game and beats them all, and emma can't help but be proud of her

(regina's the best at any video game they play. she had 18 years of free time during the first curse and this woman knows how to play video games)

playing video games together becomes a part of their regularly scheduled family dinners (which are supposed to happen only once a week but end up happening much more frequently--regina claims her house has been taken over, no one denies it)

emma hears noises coming from downstairs one night and goes to investigate. she finds rumple trying to "practice" so he can beat regina (he never does)

(snow usually ends up going the wrong way on the track, sometimes she gets distracted by flowers in the background)

belle is good at it and nearly beats regina one time (david's the one to beat her eventually, and it's completely by accident)

they play other games together too. they get really competitive at super smash bros. henry tries to teach them how to play minecraft, belle builds castles and zelena runs around blowing things up

snow likes playing the sims (she finds it really funny one day when her sim regina decides to wear a hot dog costume)

they try to play overcooked one night but it ends with zelena yelling and david crying over a lost plate of meatballs
