I REALLY hope they are staying true to their story and not being pressured to change things because TPTB want their antihero.
Adam always says on Twitter that they are telling the story they want to tell. I hope that remains true, no matter what happens. Doesn’t mean they don’t do fan service becuase…I am starting to notice hints of fanservice here and there. Emma and Regina’s “our son” and Emma lightening the candle in 307 using the magic Regina taught her (which according to Tumblr is in every SQ fan fic EVER) and then in 308 them using their magic together to move the freaking moon feels like they are trying to reach out to one side of their fandom. Not saying SF OR CS are fanservice but I do wonder if A and E are still writing for themselves or now writing with their internet community placed more toward the front of their minds than normal.
