I'm a Queen and a bit more refined.

 Watcher of series. Reluctant fangirl. Actually too old for this shit. Occasionally spouts meta about fictional characters. In a strange sort of love-hate relationship with Once Upon a Time.

i'd like to know what's going on ? what are the rumours about sean ?

Good evening!

Be sure you really want to know before getting yourself into this mess. Fandom can be an ugly place and you might find yourself happier not knowing.But if you’re certain, may I refer you to Lana’s twitter ? I think it’s the quickest way to get an overview.

I have... thoughts about the PR disaster concerning recent rumors about Sean Maguire.

That moment when I return to tumblr only to find that out of all my episode commentary for Souls of the Departed, my shitpost about Regina and the spray paint dealer is the one that’s still gaining notes.

Pardon the pun, but: What the hell?

[queenofrefinement]

Is this what I think it is? The reawakening of the long lost Savior Regina arc?

Because this is what I’m here for and this is the kind of content that’ll make me stay!

[queenofrefinement]

I am so intrigued when it comes to Cora and Hades!

[queenofrefinement]

Psst! Pay no attention to the pregnant belly!

@freifraufischer was this the scene you were talking about?

[senselessverses-deactivated2023]

I thought they did it on purpose… I assumed they were showing that she was pregnant with Emma?

(Sorry this timeline is so confusing)

[queenofrefinement]

I have a horrible grasp on the timeline, but this is just before Henry Sr was taken to Wonderland by Cora. I don’t have proof of it, but I always imagined that to take place a good chunk of time before Regina even got her hands on the Dark Curse. 

Henry’s back with her during the Cricket Game flashbacks, and he’s with her in the Pilot.

I suck at guessing the timeline, but it seem weird that they focused the camera to Snow’s baby bump.

Thank you! :)

[queenofrefinement]

Snow is also still on the run in this. She didn’t get pregnant with Emma until after her wedding, when Snow and her allies had already claimed George’s kingdom and thus weren’t on the run anymore.

But no problem!

Cora: How do you know about Zelena?

me, talking to the screen of my laptop: How do you know about Zelena’s name?

[queenofrefinement]

I always thought it was creepy that Sidney could watch Regina at random points in time, but knowing that he can develop appendages is... disconcerting to say the least.

[queenofrefinement]

I’m a mess. 

Regina and her father were everything. Regina and both of her Henry’s were everything. 

I can’t quite articulate my feelings about this at the moment, so bear with me when I skip my commentary for those until tomorrow. 

But let it be known that I’m an emotional wreck in the best way.

“Until Snow White dies, I will never be what you want, let alone what I want!”

It’s rare for Regina to actually voice her disappointment in her father, and I think it’s worth pointing out. 

“I’ll never be what you want!”

Henry Sr wanted his daughter to stay good. He wanted her to stay the innocent and gentle soul that she used to be. 

But Regina couldn’t. She changed. She changed because Cora killed Daniel, because she was married off to the king, because her father wasn’t strong enough to protect her from any of it. 

And now he dares to voice his disappointment in what she’s become. 

“I’ll never be what you want” is nothing but another way of saying “You made me this way, and there is no going back.”.

Sometimes I get so lost in my own uber-deep thoughts about this show and its characters, I forget how ridiculous this series actually is. 

And then sometimes, we get a gem like this...

... and suddenly I remember.

[queenofrefinement]

Let us all take a moment to appreciate the fact that Cora took the time to wrap that heart.
