time, wondrous time gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies;

Taylor Swift - folklore (clandestine meetings)

Taylor Swift - folklore (clandestine meetings)

honey, i rose up from the dead, i do it all the time

this blog is a safe space for all of you and that means if there’s ever anything i can do to help make you feel safer or protect you from being fucking outed by some sick homophobe on the internet please let me know i love you guys so much i’m so sorry this is happening genuinely wtf

imagine being so beautiful

So, basically:

1. A&E accidentally wrote the beginning of an epic love story (Swan Queen) but were too stupid to realize it

2. When they realized their SQ fanbase was huge, they started queerbaiting, even though they never intended to make SQ canon

3. Because of Swen, they realized that they really did have the beginning of an epic love story, but they couldn’t possibly make their sacred white savior QUEER!

4. But of course, they want to capitalize on their happy accident and how to they do that? Rehash the same fucking story but make it heterosexual!

5. People fucking eat it up because they’re sheep, and will stomach anything that is sold to them as romance so long as it’s straight!

6. The same people continue to call Swen delusional for seeing the potential in that storyline in the first place. They’re shipping the hetero reboot of Swan Queen and are too blind to even realize it.

But Het!SQ will never be the same. This is STILL not a modern fairy tale…

I’m happy for all the actors who have a job and are clearly loving their time working on OUAT, but A&E are literally homophobic, racist trash, and no amount of LGBT or POC characters in season 7 will absolve them of that - not after the last 6 years.

Fuck this show.

**Side note: when I say people are sheep, I’m specifically referring to the people who’ve spent 6 years harassing Swen for shipping SQ and then turning around and shipping Henry and Cinderella**

swan queen baby

I wasn’t going to make this post, but, screw it. I’m gonna do it anyway.

I recall the scene where Lucy finds Henry being verbatim the scene when Henry finds Emma and also Eddy saying Lucy’s parents will meet and fall in love. I recall this pissing people off because this seems to basically be heteosexual swan queen, I was one of those people. Eventually I let it go and went on about my life even more cemented in my decision to not watch another episode of OUAT and then I saw this….

THE. HELL. WE. DON’T.

We had to endure A&E telling us SQ in unintentional! We had to endure years of abuse from every corner of the OUAT fandom telling us we’re delusional for shipping SQ and seeing it’s potential! 

A&E are basically throwing in our faces that we were right about SQ and are taking their story and making it heterosexual! And there are people just eating this crap up! They’re just slapping us in the face right now and people are just saying “please give me more”! GOD!

What pisses me off the most about this is not what A&E are doing because that’s a given, what they’re doing is nothing new, they’re just being really obvious now. No, what pisses me off the most is how angry and hurt people were about how blatantly this is just Swan Queen Hetero Edition™, INCLUDING the OP of this post, but are now saying how much they love it. 

Now I will say yes people are allowed to ship what they want. Also I am aware people can get mad over things, time can pass by, and they can change their mind. So it seems pretty trivial for me to be mad about something like this so here’s why this irritates me so badly:

1. Just the lack of consistency. This is more of a personality thing for me, if something irritated me a few months ago chances are it will irritate me now. Again I do understand that people can change their minds but considering the outrage of Swan Queen Hetero Edition™ when it was announced and seeing how quickly people are just happily accepting it is giving me whiplash. I find it very jarring that people who were angry at the prospect of Lucy’s parents falling in love because of it’s similarities to SQ, now love it for the very same reason.

2. The “I’m gonna complain but still buy your crap anyway” attitude. To quote a friend of mine who I talked to about this previously “If people would actually stick to their principles, and not accept this shit, things might change”. This is why A&E will never change, this post and posts like it show them no matter what they do we will continue to eat their crap. People have spent years complaining about A&E and their constant no-homoing of SQ and this obvious example is no exception but people are still willing to accept it. Why should A&E change anything we say is wrong if we’re so willing to get angry, complain but ultimately just along with it?

Please people stop showing them this nonsense is ok!
