3) I dont think you can change a “fan of a characters” mind, by bashing said character to death- if anything their love of the character usually deepens because they feel the need to protect them more, but the people doing the bashing become resented & respect for them declines. However, I do think you can change how other fans feel about certain character’s by doing the opposite- totally ignore his/her flaws, put them up on a pedestal & it tends to eventually drive people to distraction- they tend to start disliking the character, as well as resent those doing the OTT PR for them.
Totally they can. I’ve been put off Neal and to a certain point Regina by the viciousness I read by the toxic part of their fan groups – and obviously I don’t include all fan in this, because by and large like with everything, there is always a small faction that spoils things for everyone.
I definitely agree with both of you–when hard-core fans of other characters say ridiculous, exaggerated, and/or completely false things about my favorite characters (usually Hook draws the most hate of course, but also Emma), it makes me like those first characters less and less.
[adrotate group="5"]Hey everyone! I know it’s been a long hiatus (for me and the show) but the wait is nearly over! I wanted to share my first ever Captain Swan video with my shipmates here! Hope you all like it!

Ohhhhhhhh, I’ve missed your pretties! Stunning! Hope you dont mind, I’ve used the bottom one as my desktop back ground (toothless has been replaced ) Thanks! I’ve actually been meaning to make one for a while and you know I really enjoyed the process! I’m probably gonna make more & try & get good at doing those 🙂 I’m glad you like my posters, that last one’s my newest favorite I have it as my phone wallpaper lol
Nice to see your work again Killian 🙂
The creativity of this fandom continues to impress.
Two more days until we can throw ourselves back into the full-on, fantasy fun. Even with all the spoilers floating around it will be good to have the actual story being told outside of speculations and *they should have*, *how dare they* discussions. Characters I love will most likely remain loved.
I prefer just letting the story they tell lead the way. As long as I am entertained still, there will be no channel hopping, remote throwing and message board defensive uber drama. It is and never will be my story to tell…just going to go along for the ride and escape, or not. I intend to enjoy the heck out of every moment that speaks to me. 🙂 and hope those with the means and expertise to continue to post the lovely visuals and creative clips. Life is truly too brief for continuously pi**ed on Cheerios on the menu.
Happy Weekend to all the CS ers dwelling here! It’s all good.

Agreed…I’m sure I’ll have some nitpicky things that bug me (like Emma and Henry feeling responsible for babysitting Regina…lol) but the mere fact that I care enough to notice little things and remember what’s happened in past seasons (because I’ve rewatched them recently)…that just goes to show how much I love it!
I’m so looking forward to the premiere–less than 48 hours to go! 🙂
I like your attitude @bo-peeps 🙂
btw, did you guys see this? it’s video interviews of Jen and Colin from last Sunday’s screening.
