I've never watched OUAT - Should I watch it? How spooky is it? How gay?
Hey anon ♥ Ok, the answer I’ll always give is YES, YES and again YES. Because Swan Queen is one of my first OTPs (and because they are still a top ship for me). It’s not spooky as I remember it. It’s a family show.
Now it depends of you. Do you want canon ? Well there is three wlw canon ships. One is Mulan x Aurora (Mulan has feelings for Aurora but Aurora doesn’t, or you know the fact that Mulan waited too long and when she was about to say it, Aurora dropped the baby bomb that she had with I can’t remember his name. Eric?)

That face ? Kill me now. Poor Mulan. (Yep I love her and no one hurts my baby)
Tumblr media
The other is developed for one episode (or is it more than one ? No idea !) it’s Ruby x Dorothy (yeah it took me 3 seconds to try to find her name back) (tbh I shipped Mulan x Ruby and it would have made more sense (and I think a lot of other people loves Mulan x Ruby more). Hell, even Merida x Mulan x Ruby would have made more sense. Bonus point, Mulan x Dorothy got a fairytale kiss)
Tumblr media
Listen my babies Ruby x Mulan

Mulan x Merida

Ok and now the REAL canon ship that was developed during the entirety of the last season … Alice x Robin (Mad archer or Curious archer) (and bonus, it really felt like Alice was the main character of the last season) It’s a great story with a happy ending for them. Honestly I loved the last season and it’s in big part thanks to them (and Regina but let’s be honest all seasons are great thanks to her).
Tumblr media
Ok and nowwwwww under the cut because it’s starting to get long … Swan queen = subtext = my love = eye fu*king all the time.
Tumblr media
Go under the cut to know more … (How ouat starts = SQ + some problems ouat had + my love for Regina)
So once upon a time starts like this … A little boy called Henry knocks at the door of Emma Swan (blonde one). It’s her son that she gave up when he was born. He wants to bring her back to a town called Storybrook where we meet the mayor … Regina Mills (brunette/black hair). Plot twist … Regina is the adoptive mother of Henry who ran away from home because her mother is “the evil queen” (due to him having a story book with all fairytales in it and believing - truthfully - that all people in this town are part of the book). Now, the entirety of the story revolves around Emma (the main character at the start), Regina (tbh MY main character and the heart of the show + the main character at the end/second part of the serie) and the Swan-Mills family. The producer of the show clearly said ouat was about Emma coming to town and meeting Regina.

Look at that family portrait !

Anyway conflict happens between them for the love of Henry Mills (and eventually you know it all works out). Now, Emma is the first one to believe in Regina and her being good. There is magic (their combined magic has the same colors as the Ture Love™ spell. come on !) and everything that I love. Also … Perfect Enemies to lovers trope come on it would have been magistral (we still got the Enemies to Friends trope). At the end you can clearly see that Regina is the one who loves Emma more and Emma distance herself with a guy™. 
Tumblr media
Well said Regina ! (that episode was dope !)
The fact with Swan Queen is … the subtext is really heavy and the parallels are numerous. They just … never got canon.

—————————–
NOWWWWW the only downside … 2 guys ! Killian Jones (pirate) and Robin Hood.
I’ll only speak of Captain Hook for all seasons except the last one where, weirdly (or not), I loved him (and also maybe the 3d one where he appears where he makes a good-ish villain that you like to hate?).
But all the other seasons I can’t stand him. He is typically the guy who wants Emma and when she says no to him several times, he pushes again and again until she says yes. He also has other non lovable traits but I won’t expand on it here. I think the only reason some people loved him with Emma was because he was somewhat good looking? And it’s not because he’s with Emma that I don’t like him because I really liked Neal. The fact is, Emma was a strong woman who becomes weak over the seasons because of him (to the point where I didn’t even like what Emma had become … a shadow of her former self).
Now the other one buggers me a little less. Except that the guy had a wife who died I think but who comes back and all that shit. Oh and also the fact that he is “predestined” to be with Regina and is her soulmate or things like that. But you learn about that before they even meet (or at the very beginning) ! Like whattt. It’s forced. And I don’t like being forced.
Now, Killian is just amazing in the last season (for reasons I won’t tell here because it’s really spoilery) I’ll just tell you he is really different and kind and considerate. Everything he wasn’t before.
And one guy I absolutely loved was Daniel ♥ Omg Regina x Daniel give me all the feels. (he is part of Regina’s backstory)
—————————–
Let’s end with some Swan queeeeen

And let’s end with the fact that OUAT, honestly, is the story of Regina and her inner battle. And if you don’t watch ouat for all the reasons above, please watch ouat for Regina you won’t regret it ♥ (+pantsuits+sassyness)
