Don’t know how to repost that AMAZING picture of Hook and Emma!!!!! But my reaction is, well….
AWWWWWW!!!!!! THIS!!!! Makes me SO happy!!!!!! 🙂
[adrotate group="5"]Pollyana would be funny –on OUAT she’d be a pessimist I bet. The term is a synonym for relentless optimism, sort of like Snow!
Although not really a fairytale, Pollyanna would be fun to see!
@PriceofMagic- I sincerely apologize if you felt the manner in which I responded to your post was offensive. It definitely wasn’t meant toward you, personally. I was responding generally regarding some of the themes you mentioned. Honestly, depending on the story and how it is told, I don’t think it really matters if a character is the same race they are “normally portrayed as.” In some instances, this might be inappropriate. With this type of show, though, there is always room for interpretation. I mean, on ONCE Little Red Riding Hood is the WOLF! Still can’t get over that one! I do, however, Â thank you for taking the time to clarify your post.
If it was for Dorothy, why would they specify that the actress had to be black? I think Tiana may be the more likely one since she was Disney’s first black princess and if she suddenly became white, eyebrows would be raised. I’m guessing whoever this character is may become someone for Henry to hang with unless they go for a Lost boy style teenager. Perhaps she is just an original character for Henry to hang with and she has to be black in order to add racial diversity to the show. I think the trope is called Token Black Team mate.
Ok, I bit my tongue when people made negative comments regarding Sonequa Martin Green (Tamara) and Sinqua Walls (Lancelot) due to their race. I even bit my tongue when I heard some borderline offensive racial comments on the podcast. But I need to say this. I am SO ridiculously tired of others devaluing the talent of black actors on this show by saying things like they’re only there for “racial diversity.” It is sad that this is an issue today. I feel the need to defend these actors because the only reason they are ever talked about as actors it seems, is because of their race, and not because they did a decent job acting a particular role. Honestly, who cares what race ANY of these characters are?? I never hear anyone say “They needed a Latina actress on the show, so that’s why they cast Lana Parrilla.” All I hear is that she’s an amazing actress, and that’s because she IS! I just want the same for every actor that does a great job, regardless of their race.
*rant over*
Dorothy would be nice to see. That is all.
AGH THIS GIFSET IS PAINFUL i apologise in advance for your hurt feelings!

I wasnt offended either- like obisgirl, I was more confused than anything else lol annwyn – I think in all fairness BOTH sides of ANY ship have the problems you are pointing out- Poor Ginny copped a TON of hate for posting CS themed stuff on her own Twitter account, Adam & Eddie have like wise- week after week, received hatred for even considering CS on the show- Colin & Jen get hate thrown at them too by SF shippers. Most CS’ers have also had Hook repeatedly bashed over the summer break, so if you ask a CS shipper/fan which ship is loudest or most in your face- we’ll probably say the opposite- SwanFires lol. Thankfully the hate hasnt been on here & the one time it did happen it was dealt with smartly. I dont read the SF threads myself (I dont see the point of working myself up over another ships interpretation of events
) I just think we should ship & let ship- always & forever 
I agree! Again, I think this is just a reflection on the individuals throwing the hate and not each fanbase as a whole. I think you’ll find most people are pretty chill about this kind of thing. (It’s just a TV show!) But it’s difficult to focus on that because it’s not being vocalized that there are respectful  shippers out there who just enjoy shipping who they ship. And for the record, I may not always agree, but I always respect other shippers and their opinions. That is all. 🙂
I really don’t understand this whole shipper hate thing. It’s a bit ridiculous! As much as I love ONCE, I do realize that it’s just a show. It’s for entertainment. I don’t like the idea of generalizing people that support one couple over another. If someone does or says something completely out of line for the sake of a fictional couple, I think that says more about the individual than the actual fanbase of that couple. Just sayin’.  I don’t mind the fact that some people don’t like CaptainSwan. You like what you like! For instance, my friend loves Swanfire and, obviously, I love CaptainSwan. It’s actually fun to be able to repectfully disagree a little bit. It’s sort of like cheering on two rival sports teams. We may not agree on who the better couple is, but at the end of the day, we know it’s a show that has no real effect on our everyday lives other than just being an AWESOME show! The fact that there are so many different opinions and perspectives is exactly what makes things interesting. If everyone agreed on everything I’m pretty sure I’d be like ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! Haha! 🙂
Ok, so I was excited about the Hook and Emma hug, but I just saw the tweet from Adam where he responded to someone saying that they can’t accept Hook and Emma as a couple and now they’re in NYC. He said that we have NO idea what they’re planning. It seemed ominous.
Not gonna lie. This makes me a little nervous for CS.
New quote from Adam well new to me I found it on tumblr but I can’t find the original. “How has it been a triangle” i love this guy! how indeed!
Ha ha! That’s great!
