Completely recommend Alethea Kontis. Enchanted did go a little crazy towards the end but Hero was fantastic from start to finish.

Like I’m a bit confused tbh… does this mean I can write ReditGo? lol

Do the ship rules apply to characters that aren’t currently in popular ships?

Not a fan of having a mopey/angry Regina for most of the next season. Some tension between Emma/Regina again might be good but… urgh I feel like they’re throwing away so much development. Like I totally understand that they need to show how she deals with loss now to show that she’s changed but they could at least show it not destroying her so much.

Elsa could be another one of Will’s angry exes 🙂
It’s possible that Will’s backstory ties in with Elsa in a way we haven’t seen yet. Perhaps Elsa was accidentally responsible for the death of his sister, or failed to save her somehow. Maybe Anastasia was named after Elsa’s Anna like we have Neal junior. Who knows.
It is going to be confusing having two Annas on the show tho.

I pretty much agree with most everything Myril has said.
I feel like between stepping up the Swanqueen subtext in recent eps(a ship they won’t let sail but won’t let die either – “keep watching”, bugger off A&E) and the Mulan stuff OUAT has already very much done things the “wrong” way. I feel being 3 seasons in and dealing with the themes OUAT does not having a single unambiguously queer character is actually pretty shameful.
One thing I DO want to add is that it is absolutely wrong and offensive to treat queer romance as something that you have to spend 3+ seasons figuring out, that you have to “get around to” that has to be done “the right way”, whereas we can have problematic relationships like Rumbelle as of the finale until the Unicorns come home. Queer people are not aliens. While it is certainly true that straight people are not going to fully understand the subtleties of being queer and doing queer romance, just about anyone can have two dudes or two women have a romantic relationship just like a man and a dude and have it be passable. If you’re not trying to do commentary on LGBT issues, just be inclusive, it’s absolutely not that difficult to do. While I dislike when it’s glossed over – having a character just randomly mention having or looking for a partner of the same sex/gender, or hell drop that they’re trans, is not hard to do. And you can just continue on then – having a queer character you can take your time expanding on.
The concept of the “Checklist” too – again this is insanely heteronormative. We need no excuse for yet another straight cis white couple. As far as I’m concerned, EVERYTHING EVER with a sizeable cast of characters should contain at least one queer character. There is centuries of exclusion to make up for in fiction, even if you had nothing but queer romances in all fiction for a year it would barely make a dent. Straight people have so much more to draw on. The talk of putting in a queer character “just for the sake of it” being wrong is really horrible to me, because first off you should be able to include queer characters without even thinking about it, if you’re not then something’s up and frankly it’s better to go to a conscience effort to fix that than not.
So that’s the thing that offends me most about the attitudes in this show and that I find in fandoms in general.
Uhara, a character some people regard as Tokenism, made a HUGE difference to empowering young black women.
Of course I don’t want a “token” character, I want an actual well fleshed out character and there is zero reason why A&E can’t hire a queer writer(or even have Jane Espensen write).

No one!!!! These are Fairy Tales not Glee if you want that kind of stuff what Glee they have several on that show and others this doesn’t need to be in in Fairy Tales.
So in other words, queer people don’t deserve a happy ending?
That’s probably one of the most hateful and depressing things I’ve read on here, I already get that feeling a lot but to see it said outright is just :/
I’m going to cry now. I just found out about a transgirl in my extended circle who killed herself a few days ago.
Feeling pretty sad and angry about everything and how people like me are treated.
