I was a great supporter of RegalCat. Shame it ran into “difficulties”. OutlawQueen is starting to grow on me. I’m still not 100% shipping it (unlike RumBelle who are my OTP)but when trying to write fanfic, I’m starting to imagine scenarios involving Regina where Robin is present as her boyfriend/partner. I get what Betsy is trying to say about OutlawQueen. If it feels like it’s being shoved in your face, your immediate reaction is to go “I don’t like it”. (Sometimes it feels that way with CaptainSwan, no offence CSers). You want to see a relationship progress organically (Like RumBelle’s) rather than being told “Yeah, it’s true love, deal with it”. I want to see WHY Regina and Robin are supposedly true love, not just because the pixie dust said so.
That’s part of what I’m saying; I DO think it’s ridiculous that the show is telling us that they are TL instead of showing us. Who’s to say that they will click as actors or characters?
My one little comment, though, was really me just expressing frustration that we’re going to get FAR more Regina Hood than Rumbelle. I know, I have to accept the fact that Rumbelle will never get significant screen time, that A/E just don’t want to write them together (even though there could be a zillion different stories for them). I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to accept that, ufortunately. Even though I hate Regina, if I were satisfied with Rumbelle, I wouldn’t care about Regina Hood, I honestly wouldn’t.
