Ok did some reading, Michael was doing #AskHappy and someone asked what he thought of SwanQueen he answered honestly that he didn’t think it was gonna happen. Of course the hate storm rained down upon him and he started getting frustrated and saying how rude SwanQueen fans are and that all the cast and writers have commented about them. Went off saying they’re not a ship and their ship can’t be killed as it never had a life. That’s when Lana, Adam and Jen said that he doesn’t speak for them. Michael was getting cursed at pretty good and Lee came in to defend him. Apparently he had to block several people.

I hate how a few people who are beyond rude & horrible to the wonderful people who are giving us this stuff to love in the first place are making us ALL look bad. I’m sick of seeing it everywhere though. It was worded badly, it was meant to refer to the loud but vocal minority of fans that ARE rude to them, and now everyone’s having to do massive PR work to make up for people who are losing faith now, even though they had answers in 3×03. (Why people are still yelling at Adam and now Lana for saying HQ is unlikely and now Michael Coleman for saying that SQ would be staying as fanfic is beyond me – I thought ALL of that was already made clear, for sure, after 3×03 when they said we’d know who Regina was supposed to end up with but apparently people skipped that episode or have way more faith in it even though they’ve said all that they’ve said.)
NOTHING excuses hate from anyone though. You can express sadness without being rude about it and no matter whether it’s ever going to be canon or not, you can find something good in it to love and spark creative endeavors like fanfic, vids, graphics, whatever. Those things don’t just disappear because the show wasn’t written with a gazillion different versions, individually tailored to all of us. It is heartbreaking when something you really want doesn’t pan out the way you hoped for and I’m pretty sure everyone knows what that’s like from one show or another. We’re ALL invested heavily in our ships. ENOUGH ALREADY.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they stopped interacting so much on twitter. There aren’t enough positive messages in the world to drown out one horrible comment that will stick with them forever. Nobody deserves that.

Can we get back to CaptainSwan now? PLEASE?
Two of my all-time favorite scoundrels. A Star Wars marathon is definitely on my list for the hiatus. After all, Hook “Han-Solo’d back” and “We’ve got our Princess Leia right here” pointing at JMO. They’re so cute when they’re being fanboys. 😉

Oh, that puts it all in context- poor guy! Hope he doesnt get into much trouble with the PTB. I’m so annoyed that septic shippers cant just except anthers opinion of their ship, when they ask for it, as just that- their opinion. I know none of us liked Josh & Ginny’s dislike of/take on CS, but it didnt give us the right to ask them about it, then slam them when they give an answer we dont like :/ Wish it hadn’t spiraled out of control like it sounds it did…. I can see fewer & fewer of these fan interactions happening, which is a shame as I love them & it helps make Once as special as it is.

I agree what I didn’t like was that Emma and Lana responded back on twitter instead of addressing this in private with Happy. I think this happened to Ginny once too. It is a sad state of affairs anymore that you can’t voice your opinion of something without everyone jumping down your throats. Also, I don’t think Adam should have said anything either between him and Emma, and Lana they kept the thing going.

I never knew that… but did always wonder why she just seems ‘there.’ I thought because the actress was popular they were trying to make a place for her..
To be clear I don’t know if this what the writers are thinking but if SF fans are going to claim that CS is a fan service, I can do that as well with Rumbelle based on what we’ve seen onscreen and knowing that Belle was originally hired for a small stint.

HE, It sounds like it was a total poop fest TBH 🙁
Anyway back to CS …… I think we all felt like this at the end of E11 😉
As to fan service ….
What this mid season break will do to the fandom …lol
& I have to include this, as it’s a bit of a giggle 😉
LOL!!! What all CS shippers & Killy feel 😉

what Adam, JMo and Lana were upset about was how in his frustrations he included them in his generalization about SQ. First I don’t get why shippers have to ask EVERY cast member for their opinions of their ship?! I mean are they looking for a reason to get mad? Are they looking for a form of validation for their ship? As far as I’m concerned this thing of ours ships is our own thing aside from the jobs that the cast and crew have to do. They don’t control who we ship that’s our own doing so we should have nothing to say about how to do their jobs to better suit our ships. We’re happy to see tweets and stuff from them but their jobs is to tell their story and support all the fans not cater to what we each have decided to want to ship and look to them to validate or invalidate our opinions.
