My personal issue with the fan interpretation of “T’hy’la” is how so many people write it as if Jim and Spock were born to be together or the T’hy’la bond was destined and they would not have been able to choose otherwise. Roddenberry’s definition in TMP novelization states that it was a bond forged between Vulcans in battles during their warrior past. Forged. Not spontaneously sprung up. It’s built, made over time, with effort from both parties. The boys are in each other’s heads without being in each other’s actual literal heads (yet, imho). They choose what to be. That maybe they start as friends which is still a huge deal for Spock. Then over the course of their time on the enterprise they become a Band of Brothers. But after the five year mission they never want to not work together if they can help it. Teetering on the line of more. Becoming lovers (hopefully) before Spock’s next “time.” And then realizing that this was the inevitable destination for them. Through all the years and levels of emotional bonding they have been building up to this the whole time. They could have stopped at friends. They could have stopped at brothers. It would not have made their relationship less close or important. They obviously didn’t but the point is that it’s a bond built up over time and effort the way any healthy loving relationship should be.

My best friend is someone I consider my t’hy’la. Will we ever be lovers? Not in a million years. That doesn’t stop me from loving them fiercely - they’re family to me. My actual spouse hasn’t been around as long or been with me through nearly as much and through as many big life changes as my best friend/t’hy’la. It’s about the growth. The time and the effort and the closeness that people create together. Not some pre-destined mythical connection.

rereading a book I first read in 2009 which was an absolute formative influence on me and god. it still is so very ME but it's also so incredibly a period piece of the late 00s pararo YA genre

#and the characters have flip phones. which i enjoy #first published 2008. contains fairies. that's all you're getting in terms of ID #néide has opinions about books

[forcedhesitation]

the end of wyll's quest is....interesting. it was VERY cool. I thought having the archetypal fairy tale prince go "slay the dragon" was a fitting ending, I just feel like it was....a little underwhelming in some ways.

more under cut

first and foremost- I wish that it was not possible for your tav/durge to converse with ansur. I wish that it automatically selected wyll, because I simply do not think that this entire scene has as much impact if it is not wyll at the forefront of everything. which is why I also have to complain about the emperor here.

the reveal that he is balduran is.... well. I knew about this already, through accidental spoilers. Initially, I thought it was a stupid reveal. but reframing the reveal in the context of a fairy tale...well it makes perfect sense. it just FEELS a bit underwhelming and strange, because your player character is not wyll. this entire area feels like it was written with an avatar wyll in mind. and I wish that there were changes made to the companion wyll version of the game that made up for this. wyll is a character who is hugely tied to the main plot by virtue of being the duke's son. he spends the game searching for his father, while trying to deal with both mizora and the absolute. mizora is the one he sold his soul to to save the city before, the reason he was cast out. the absolute wants to destroy and steal his city. and ansur, a legendary dragon, might be his way of saving the city and getting his father's approval back. ansur had wanted to kill balduran because balduran had been infected with a mindflayer parasite, but had embraced his illithid nature rather than rejected it. I feel like there's some parallel that can be made to wyll there. in that he was othered, like balduran was, because he accepted mizora's help. ansur condemned balduran because ansur is a bronze dragon and therefore lawful good. wyll's father exiles wyll because wyll was "at best a fool, at worst a traitor," in his father's eyes and his father tolerated neither. wyll & balduran are both victims of the inflexible nature those of lawful good alignments have. they are both seen as monsters for what happened to their bodies. I wish that was emphasised a little more. like autoselecting wyll for the ansur dialogue & giving him dialogue with the emperor would have made this ending feel a little more complete, in my opinion. and it would have better demonstrated the point of having the emperor even be balduran. because that's such a fairy tale thing, the stuff of real legend! for the hero's mysterious guide to actually be some great old hero thought to be long dead. and I do think it works. it just doesn't feel as impactful if wyll is not your avatar.

I also wish this area was overall bigger & more developed. I know they redid wyll's character from EA. I know they had less time. I just. I wish that this area was as detailed as the sharran temple in act 2. it feels like SUCH a big deal, it feels like it should be bigger. especially since at lvl 12, you're just. unkillable.

but the dialogue afterwards, where he says he's in the mood for celebration and wants to make a celebratory dinner? SO CUTE!!! that man's joy is contagious!!! I could practically feel him holding back how much he just wanted to jump around with joy. and the sweet little "let's hope gale won't be too upset that I'm cooking for once and not him." I love you. you are too fucking sweet wyll. this fucking city does not deserve you. this playerbase does not deserve you. you are a true gem and I wish people saw you are just as beautiful and interesting as astarion and gale.

a cool possible scene they could add, to given wyll's questline more material IS that dinner he talks about. or preparation for it! something where he asks tav/durge to taste the food beforehand? or where your avatar can ask him about where he learned to cook, prompting him to talk about his time as the blade of frontiers? out in the sword coast on his own? this scene could easily be platonic or romantic, but be given extra options for a romantic relationship. but something like this could truly be added at an earlier point in the game too, it doesn't have to be tied to this particular moment.

but overall really cool area of the game. very cool bossfight. and a rather clever ending to wyll's quest, contrary to what his haters say. I love the commitment to the fairy tale theme. it just needs a bit more. maybe it feels more satisfying if you've romanced him. although I've heard his act 3 romance scene is currently bugged? his unromanced questline is slightly bugged (doesn't rob you of any material, though, it just replayed some dialogue for me). either way, I hope that gets fixed asap. I so badly need to experience this romanced version in my other campaign.

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #thoughts about media #tldr opinion: it's conceptually an ingenious way of utilising the fairy tale prince trope but its execution is a bit clumsy. #beautiful character though. wow. people seriously do not give this man enough love and appreciation. #also I was expecting the emperor to be worse. people were shitting on him HARD for the reveal. and like. #man he was actually pretty justified in ultimately killing ansur. #ansur was going to kill him because he has that lawful good brain rot that says illithids cannot be anything but monsters. #which is the same argument made against wyll for being part devil. and against astarion for being undead. #the way this game tackles monstrosity and what truly constitutes a monster is very interesting. #and I think it's really cool the way they took ansur's “heroic lawful good” alignment and turned it into a form of evil. #and had wyll- a victim of that same kind of cruel inflexible sense of “justice” be ansur's second slayer. #oh and shart? jaheira said it better.

Was looking over your older art and noticed you wondering why Wendy has pink hair when she uses dragon force. I do not pretend to understand what all goes on behind the scenes, but I imagine it is purely because Porlyusica has pink hair, and since Porlyusica is a human Edolas counterpart of Grandeeny, if Grandeeny had had any hair it would be pink,(she is white but those are feathers I think), and thus Wendy inherits the dragon version of the gene for pink hair when she gets more dragon like.

See, then the question is, why does Porlyusica have pink hair? Why does Wendy's hair change at all? None of the others do, and I doubt Igneel would have have pink hair if you want to go the "they happened to match" route.

Nah, I was more ranting because I thought it was a dumb decision. That is what I meant when I asked "why pink?" not because I thought there could/should be an actual reason. The others get super on-brand elemental infusions and I think Wendy's should have gone harder on the multitude of the sky. My redesign was purely that: a redesign. Because sometimes I have fun and inconsequential opinions and implement them because why not? :)

(The art in question, in case people are curious, because I did my dragon force art a few years ago, I recount to my own horror of the passing of time. I should really draw dragon force stuff again lmao.)

#fairy tail #ask #dragon force #look look I am just so goddamn tired #of girl characters getting pink randomly #natsu has the pink covered we were good #its not that I hate the idea of it in principle #and I like Porly's design even though #I am mostly confident that her being edo Grandeeny was #100% a retroactive decision and not at all planned at her inception #that is just how mashima rolls #but yeah this is mostly me wanting better (my opinion) for wendy #and because I am a big sky nut and I wanted to make her eyes the whole scope #and not just light pink #which is neither porly's nor grandeeny's eye color on that logic #rant over byeeeee

#LISTEN #i will not listen to your sequel trilogy opinions if you won’t see the best and only thing about them #just thinking about how it’s this almost totally wordless love story #playing out across their faces #and in the colors and framing of their scenes together #but how it’s so rich in theme and idea #it’s mythic!!! it’s fairy tale!!!! it’s epic!!!!!! #and it’s such a JOURNEY! #thinking about how her fear of romance of intimacy of growing up has such a safe hiding spot in her righteous outrage over his evil #and about how he patiently tracks her down anyways. partly because he knows she HAS to overcome her fear #but also the second she says no. not this. only the real you. the you not caught up in the darkness #he throws everything away and runs straight to her #like goshhhhhhhhh #you know with time it’s impossible not to see their attempts especially the last movie’s attempts to girlbossify Rey #and it’s so disappointing despite Daisy doing her absolute best #but man —his story. And her story in relationship to him #perfection.

Sometimes I think about when I was a kid and I was watching Soul Eater for the first time and actually really liked Black Star a lot bc he was goofy. And in general I found the show to be petty fun and good.

And then it had this one episode where Maka was doing literally everything correctly as a leader but Black Star got super pissy about her bossing them around or whatever the fuck, and the whole conflict of the ep was that Maka needed to be less bossy or some shit and it ended with Maka apologizing for being too bossy and Black Star was in the right for being pissy about it

And then I stopped watching

#never before or since has my opinion on a character of show been so thoroughly soured #only thing that comes close is Lucy's treatment in the grand magic games in Fairy Tail #rambling

[pnk-spiderr]

I think the thing that annoys me the most about Juvia as a character is the fact she had the potential to be a really compelling character but was turned into a creepy, one dimensional joke

#sigh.. ik how this fandom can be so. To be clear. I am NOT getting mad at you for liking this character #You’re allowed to like whatever characters you like. *I* like this character despite disliking the direction her arc was taken #plus one criticism doesn’t suddenly mean the series is worthless. #Do I like ft’s writing? No. Does that mean anyone who likes the series or its writing or derives some value from it is stupid? No. #ft has its strengths! It has good things in it! Sure I have criticisms of it but that doesn’t take away what it does right! #Every work of fiction has flaws and criticisms to be made about it! And that’s fine! #Tldr I’m not coming after you for liking this character/shipping something that makes me uncomfortable. I’m not here to police you. #I’m just stating my personal opinion on this element #Also I’ll probably never post anything like this again. I’m not going to overrun the tag and I lost interest in the series awhile ago #I’m not trying to start discourse #Just state my opinion on this one element of a work of fiction #the block button is right there if you need it #anyways I should stop rambling.

I may be a weirdo but I find Disney remakes with realistic animal characters more hilarious/fun when some percent of the cast are human/human-like. It's like fairy tale times --- but in the real world (but not)

Like yes give me the super realistic crab Sebastian. I love it, no joke.

#i think lady and the tramp was the exception to this? but there the main cast was technically dogs #the little mermaid 2023 #the little mermaid live action #aladdin 2019 #aladdin live action #i don't even remember how tag these kind of movies? #also: animal has to be a prominent side character and it can't be all animals or prominently an animal film #cause then it's just reanimating a movie *side eye* #wsd opinion piece #wsd weird brain #fairy tales #sure why not #do i necessarily think remakes have to made? no...not really #though i think the renaissance movies suffer more from restrictions than say cinderella 2015 did #i didn't realize it *was* a remake; i thought it was you know another retelling as one does with fairy tales #too bad aladdin couldn't have done that; but since genie's the main attraction (or jasmine) #the movie couldn't really build a story around the tale of aladdin in a retelling reimagining format #rambling tags

fellow jerza fans are we excited for the next few chapters (i saw on twitter mashima said the next few chapters are gonna have a jerza plot line) or are we scared it's gonna turn out like gruvia (turned into a running joke/fanservice, both characters are stripped of any and all substance they had before they started interacting romantically)

#my opinion on gruvia has been influenced by so many different sources and my final answer #is that i like what it should have been #what it actually is kinda sucks #fairy tail #anime #jerza #fairy tail jerza #jellal fernandes #fairy tail erza #jellal x erza #ft erza

Fairy Tail Ships

Some Rando came at me on my main for a ship I hadn’t even said a single word about on a post about a character not involved in said ship so now I’m just gonna write down all my Fairy Tail ships unprompted out of pure spite

Multi and Probably Problematic shipping a-hoy under the read more be wary!

Okay so as every other of this kind of post will plainly spell out I always have One Guy who is just the Ship bicycle. This character could kiss literally anyone and I would be more than happy. Typically they in fact do.

For Fairy Tail, it’s Gajeel Redfox

You would not believe your eyes if my first fucking Gajeel ship was Gajeel/Gajeel. I love Edolas Gajeel and up until that point Earthland Gajeel interacts with pretty much no one positively. I fully believe he hard made out with himself. First kiss. First time? The full shebang. Canon as far as I think.

Following that IMMEDIATELY is Gajeel/Lily. My god. My God let’s just give Gajeel a beefy cat man to homoerotically throw around. “That’s My Cat” I love him he’s so fucking stupid he makes out with Lily on the regular.

Gajeel/Levy is probably the best developed canon ship in Fairy Tail and that’s really not saying much but I think they’re cute. The only caviot is Levi pegs him. I’m sorry, Gajeel cannot be a top.

I think Gajeel/Natsu is funny as hell they’re so violent. Gajeel thinks Natsu’s the dumbest man he’s ever met. They don’t kiss they bite.

Gajeel/Laxus is just as funny but just because they both think they’re the smart one in the relationship.

After that all I might loose a bit of steam but Romance in this show is rarely interesting but here’s some of my takes anyway;

Laxus/Freed is always a free sail Freed pining from the beginning Laxus having no idea what his own feelings are until some time mid season 7. Laxus taking everything casually and Freed over thinking every little piece of affection he gets. They’re an uncommunicative mess and I love them.

I like Juvia/Grey not because I think it’s a well balanced and fleshed out canon romance, but because I love Juvia and want her to be happy and think Annoyingly Horny Stalker and Too Tired For This Shit is the funniest trope. Also Transfem Lesbian Grey, Demiromantic Bi/Pan Juvia

Speaking of Stalker/Obsession ships, Lucy/Flare??? My god I had not-antagonist Flare for 3 episodes and I will never let her go. Red headed Lesbian raised by a Village of Giant Men. Get yourself a blondie GF you deserve it.

Another Stalker/Obsession because I’m just gonna keep on goin; Erza/Sho???? Hello??? That was one baby me was entranced by. Love when the stalker is also the bottom. I love Sho I think he’s so cute, I think his obsession with Erza is so cute, I think his Sister Complex is so cute.

More Erza tops a little sibling!! Erza/Kagura!! What is it about Erza that gives everyone who meets her an Incest Kink?? I love her. I love Kagura she’s SO pathetic after her angst over Jallal is swept under the rug for no reason (no I’m not salty about that)

SPEAKING of Kagura; Kagura/Millianna is very cute I am on board. The Lesbian Kagura content for those without the taste for Sister Complex.

Elfman/Evergreen is so funny to me because this is a Bisexual man with a huge preference for Men who really REALLY wanted to fall in love with a Man and be Married Manly Men who grow into Old Men together but no. He just HAD to catch feelings for The Prettiest Girl in his guild. He’s so mad about it. Whole ass that “But I am in love with a MAN. RIGHT NOW.” meme but gender swapped.

Gildarts/Cana is so freaken good that YuGiOh Episode with Scorpio during the Eclipse Spirit Arc where he says he wants her to call him Daddy and she says she Would if he’s Been Around More you two I am going to scream don’t talk like that we’re trying to d-d-d-d-dddddDUEL

Also Eclipse Scorpio’s crush on Cana is cute as hell I love him he just wanted to play YuGiOh with a Hot Girl and she deserves a little boyfriend like him I’m all for them

Seven steps back tho the BEST Lucy ship, hands down, is Lucy/Taurus and I am SO INCREDIBLY SAD I’m alone on this! T4T Lucy/Taurus is my EVERYTHING!! Give him a SMOOOOOOOOOCH!!

Panther Lily/Samuel is so good to me another little freak with an unwarranted Incest Kink I love Samuel so much he’s so weird I want him to come back so badly please bring the little weirdo back so he can call Lily Big Brother some more for no god damn reason

Panther Lily and Edolas Coco is Very Cute and if it wasn’t for Gajeel being so unabashedly into Panther Lily that whole arc I would have appreciated it more.

Speaking of Exceed X People ships, Sting/Lector are like!!! Super good!!! Exceptionally solid I love them both so much!!

Rouge and Frosch as well but I feel like they’re super out of balance. Rouge is infantalizing Frosch and/or Frosch is not an adult in the world of Exceeds

Five steps back again because none of my thoughts are ever organized Second Best Lucy Ship is Lucy/Loke I just love a lot of Lucy/Celestial Spirit ships but this one This One is so cute I love how extra romantic he gets after going back to being Leo one of few ships I could actually see tying the knot and getting married.

Fuck it I’m just gonna keep talking about Lucy’s celestial spirits; I think Aquarius was Lucy’s first love and also her second mommy I don’t think they ever dated but to Lucy the love she felt for Aquarius was both Familial and Romantic when she was little. She claims Aquarius as her first kiss, despite it being a motherly peck when she was like 6.

Lucy/Virgo is super funny and I am positive it has Doujins out there made by men for men that I Do Not Want To See. I am putting the Asexual label on Virgo and shipping it from there.

Aquarius/Layla Lesbian Lovers in the Historical way. Layla had her Good Friend Aquarius come stay with her while her husband was away on business. They were Very Good Friends.

More spirit stuff Grey/Eclipse Cancer is so fucking funny Cancer literally opened Grey’s heart, they Yuri On Iced around with a Rainbow Gradient following them. Grey is repressing this so hard.

SPEAKING of Grey repressing he is Gay; Grey/Sugarboy??? Am I obsessed with the Catholic Arc of Fairy Tail? Yes. Yes I am. But Edolas Sugar Boy as well. Grey has such a Thing for your average stereotypical Gay Man and he is doing everything in his power to ignore it. I think he wants to be one of them.

Ultear/Meredy is SO FREAKEN CUTE. Mother/Daughter *chefs kiss*. They would both die for the other to live and they attempt it multiple times. Am I made Ultear eventually succeeded? Yes. Extremely. Get back here dammit you’ve already asked and the answer was No.

Lucy/Michelle more Stalker/Obsession more Sister Complex with a little dash of objectophilia post Catholic Arc. I love how the Fairy Tail anime just dropped Every inanimate object has thought, emotion, will, goals, and feelings but is unable to act upon them or even knows they have such feelings without forbidden magics and just Expected me to be Okay with that. I am not. I never will be. Michelle wants to fight Aquarius for taking Lucy’s first kiss right in front of her.

Wendy/Sherria are exceptionally cute. I don’t have much to say I just think they’re cute and wholesome and should be girlfriends.

But ALSO I think Mest/Doranbolt’s crush on Wendy is very cute I bet he beats himself up over liking a little girl. He’s her first kiss, she initiated it.

ALSO ALSO Doranbolt/Lahar is canon and I’m SO MAD THEY KILLED LAHAR LIKE FOREVER MAD. My Buddy Cop to Lovers...

Macao and Wakaba are a “Didn’t realize I was Gay and In love with my best friend until AFTER I was married to a woman” pair and I love them. They keep their relationship a secret. Make out in the guild’s storage room. Mira’s caught them once or twice and promises to keep their secret, so long as she never catches them with their pants down that close to the cheese again.

Levi/Lucy are a cute Best Friends to Girlfriends kind of ship. No one would notice if they started dating because they’d act the exact same as before 

But also Cana/Lucy?? Same energy in that no one would really know they’re dating until Cana gets stupid clingy/protective when other people hit on Lucy.

Mavis/Zera is under appreciated I know Zera isn’t real and is just a projection of Mavis’ loneliness and isolation but also she’s Mavis’ gay thoughts a WLW side. Her self love and care in personhood. They kiss.

Canon evil lesbian queens Kyoka/Seilah is a lot more than I expected out of this program and I am so here for it!! Go girls go!!!

Dimaria/Brandish as well, evil lesbians having a bad spat and taking it out on the entirety of Fairy Tail is very funny to me. They are toxic and horrid and I hope Brandish gets away from her.

Kamika/Cosmos, while not evil, are just as canon lesbians and I love that for them. Also Lolicon Cosmos.

There at the start of the War Arc when Toby and Millianna were walking into war together and he’s looking at her with a flush on his face little guy got puppy love and I!!!! Am all about it!!! She’s a lesbian for sure but she’ll make an exception for him. I don’t think he knows what a gender is anyway

I think that fact that Ichiya and Nichiya most certainly Fuck is not discussed enough in this fandom this man fucks his own Fursona I need more people to speak of this.

Okay now my take on the Big Ships and Canon Shit because I actually didn’t talk about them above I focused on what I’d actually like to see.

Natsu/Lucy is. Fine. I saw someone say a headcanon that Natsu thought they were dating the whole time and I love that. ADHD Natsu who decided he liked Lucy and was going to ask her out but Forgot and then Forgot he Forgot and proceeded to think they were an official couple for 9 more season.

Natsu/Lisanna is also pretty okay. I love baby love, I love them as kids playing house playing marriage awkward dancing and kisses on the cheek and holding hands. They were eachother’s first love and that means so much to me there’s very little that could ever make you forget your first love. (Side note I think at this age Elfman had a crush on Natsu but didn’t say anything sense Lisanna also liked him)

Erza/Jellal bothers me. Maybe I just don’t like Jellal as a character enough yet but not only is he Not In The Guild like every other main series ship, he also is on some pretty thin ice on being an Antagonist or not. But, like above, he was Erza’s First Love and that really is kind of a Big Deal, being actually In Love for the first time. I think they could heal, and I’d love to see that actually play out. If anyone has any fics where this is a Real Issue that they talk about and face I would actually love to read them.

Mavis/Zeref is also pretty. Okay. I don’t like it, I think it’s pretty forced, I think the fact that they had a child when Mavis died after their first kiss is a fucked concept everyone’s avoiding despite it being the most interesting part of the ship. He’s her pathetic little meow meow, she’s his last shred of sanity decaying in his arms as he desperately plants kisses over her small prepubescent body. It’s VERY Dead Dove and everyone is avoiding it.

Happy/Carla... is this one people actually ship or just something in the background? Honestly Happy feels so much Younger than Carla most of the time despite them probably being the same age. He just acts like a little fool. I don’t like it. I think Carla deserves better. And is also a Lesbian.

Now for the end of my list a collection of characters I don’t have ships for but would Really Like To because I Love Them as characters and just want them to smooch somebody (would also love X reader fics with them)

the author of this book also does not understand Irish word order / what the word "sidhe" actually means

#i'm not even surprised at this point but i am annoyed #néide has opinions about books #treating the word sidhe as if it means fairies on its own and then shoving another word in front of it due to not understanding word order #is just annoying at this point. i can see how they got there. but no #if they think sidhe means fairy (noun) then they're taking terms like bean sidhe and reading it as woman-fairy #so they think they can put another word in front and get for example night-fairy #but sidhe is in the genitive it means 'of the síd' #so if you give me oíche sidhe what that means is 'night of the síd' and that is not a creature #that does not work #not to mean what they are trying to make it mean anyway #i am so annoyed because this book is SO CLOSE to being so enjoyable #but that makes these things bug me way more than they would in a book i didn't otherwise like #i cannot in good conscience recommend a book that's pissed me off as many times as this one has #but otherwise i would have liked it #(it also made an erroneous statement about the ulster cycle and used the TERM ulster cycle which is... dubious for 1909 ngl) #(most people wouldn't have called it that then)

oh? something mizora said actually being worth listening to??

this is an interesting bit of foreshadowing to ansur being dead/wyll being the true "heart of the gate!"

#bg3 #thoughts about media #I have to wonder if they considered draconic sorcerer wyll at all... #I don't believe there are really any stipulations for how a draconic sorcerer obtains their power from the dragon. #maybe they DID consider it- but decided against it because they didn't think/didn't have time to make it so that wyll would- #-automatically be the one chosen to speak to ansur were he in the party. that would have been a cool potential path for him honestly! #like if he was in your party- he would get auto-selected to speak to ansur and if you chose certain dialogue options- #-he could gain the powers of a sorcerer! it would work well to build upon the twist in his fairy tale-like story! #is it because of the bad reputation sorcerers have? or because mizora is technically classified as one? #or maybe it's because they didn't want to have wyll and the durge to BOTH be sorcerers. since they're both origins...? #idk. I'm kind of the opinion that durge is somewhat...overrated. I'd rather wyll get the fancy magical dragon powers. #I feel like they should have just...not added durge as a character and focused on REALLY polishing the 6 main origin companions. #because even with a character like star. who has a lot of material-- the writing feels...directionless? at certain points? #in a better world. we would have 6 main characters with more cohesive stories of relatively equal length and complexity. #in a better world. wyll would be treated as THE main of the main characters that he is. he and lae'zel. #they are like the CORE of the story imo.

marcia and willa suffer from ppl not getting their characters. its so crazy. its so crazy how stupid ppl are. 

#i blocked this pop culture girlie on tiktok bc she said she didnt like marcia and then had the blandest succ opinions #and in the tags here only 5 ppl get marcia and the others....okay #i think its a red flag when ppl start succ and hate marcia immediately #she's so funny and mean and all around a delight #and willa... #willa is being seen as a victim in her relationship with connor #ignoring that it began as a transactional relationship #and has evolved #is it a fairy tale? no #but if you took two seconds to listen to the actress that plays the character--you would understand it a little bit more #instead of just taking an opinion fm an actor as the cold hard truth #anyway nobody loves these women like I do

I gotta say I do remember watching s1 when i was like 11. And I thought David was such a rat bastard for cheating, and then lying to both parties about it. Like not very Prince Charming of him hmmm

#once upon a time #ouat #ouat rewatch #it is very funny to watch and remember my thoughts from like 10 years ago #why was i watching this at 11?? #cus i liked fairy tale shit and my older sister liked trashy dramas #it worked out #I think my opinion about that writing decision has slightly changed maybe #but i still dont like it for personal reasons #so i tend to stay away from cheating story lines #text #textpost
