    Over the last five seasons, the dynamic between Savior-turned-Dark One Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) and former Evil Queen Regina Mills (Lana Parrilla) has evolved into one of the most fascinating and championed relationships on Once Upon a Time.

    “I always see their relationship as best friends and sisters,”

    This will not cause any controversy in the fandom.

    And she even added:

    “I’m nervous to say that because there are so many SwanQueens out there that see something else, and I don’t want to take that away from them.”

    Translation: “Yeah, I know SwanQueen will never happen, but I can’t outright say that because they’ll get upset about it. There’s too many SwanQueen viewers watching the show to risk upsetting them, so we all have to keep baiting them with that possible hope.”

    Of course, they’re going to get upset with what she said there anyway.

    I would actually take SwanQueen over CS. SQ has gone from being enemies to actually developing a strong relationship that has substance and build up to it rather than suddenly being this undying love with no build up whatsoever like CS.

    OQ has its problems in the build up and surrounding how it got together, but as an actual relationship dynamic it seems to be somewhat working even though Roland has become a somewhat expendable part of Robin’s life.

    All magic comes with a price!

    The article caused such a stir, that Lana felt the need to make a statement to her fans:

    She’s right, of course. Lana (and JMo) are entitled to see their characters through their own personal lens. Just like the fans. But…emotional truths are going to be emotional truths and this fandom lost the ability to discuss anything rationally a long time ago.

    Its exactly like politics. All sides of the fandom have heard every argument under the sun thrown at them, but that’s not going to suddenly change their minds. If they don’t like whatever Lana, JMo, or anybody involved with the show say, they’re going to get riled up about it, no matter how valid those stated opinions are. Now comes the question of should the actors be allowed to freely state their own opinions, or should they forever feel the need to censor themselves just because they don’t want to accidentally offend any parts of the fandom? Both options certainly have their negatives, and it extends to the larger ongoing problem that exists outside of OUAT: free speech vs. political correctness.

    Basically….JMo probably said to herself “(Beep) It”, and has basically ignored the SQ, who have been attacking her for the past three days where else Lana has been put on damage control duties…..but in JMo’s defense, I think JMo is just done with the whole situation.

    I hope Adam and Eddy see what they have done…they’ve baited that fandom for so long, they can’t even tell what’s the truth or what’s hidden anymore….if you’re not for SQ or in their way of getting what they want, you’re their enemy. That’s not to say all SQ are bad, there are plenty of wonderful SQ, it’s just the minority(Bad SQ Apples) are the most vocal.

    The mere fact Lana was even nervous to speak on this subject is unsettling….it shows just how far SQ Terror has gone, whose specialty is to attack first then play the victim card, but I can’t even place all the blame on them, the main fault lies with Adam, Eddy, OUAT Creative Team who created these monsters by constantly baiting them just to keep their viewings, when if they had just been straight up honest in the beginning, SQ wouldn’t be as pissed off as they are now.

    So congratulations Adam & Eddy, you have successfully divided your fandom and destroyed your show.
