Let’ s just copy Watcher’s GIF over and over–oh gee, there’s a big surprise about those spoilers. Funny Regina feels she has to find the book’s authors to rewrite herself a happy ending –wonder if Adam and Eddy are planning some actual self-insertion cameos? The story already WAS rewritten Regina, its just a temporary story setback to keep tension and suspense for the season, don’t worry! Evil…I mean, former evil that’s now good, but somehow lacking in empathy and compassion and concern for anyone else beyond one’s own happy ending, always wins! I also fully predict some Regina/Emma TLK as a surface parallel to Elsa and Anna, but chock-full of subtext for SQers, just what they did with Mulan/Aurora, but then just before CSers flip tables –Jones will propose to Emma and she will say yes. Then SQers can rant a but then repeat its TRUE LOVE, TRUE LOVE! Meanwhile, the rest of SF shippers will ….change nothing, because it’s already so far down the drain what’s the point? BUT….if there’s a big enough hue and cry, if the writers see the ratings slip, in their back pocket they can have Rumple being sneaky, and magic, whatever, bring back Neal, Graham, and Hatter and end with a big question mark LOST style bloodbath leading to wish fulfillment where everyone dies, but everyone’s been reborn in different versions of the stories, in different combinations –a very meta take on fanfiction reinventing stories as they happen.
This post for pretty much life.
