This whole post is born out of a post I saw in the Swan Queen tag, basically it was one of those “can’t we all just get along”, “ship and let ship” posts. While I agreed with most of the things they said, there was one thing I read that just got under my skin, “C$ is confirmed True Love” and all I could think was
So as not to be that person and hi-jack the post I decided to make my own.
I will never understand why people think that C$ is confirmed True Love (TL). Is it because of that contrived test that they “passed”? I don’t know why this bugs me…no wait I do, OUAT’s tried and true method of proving TL is True Love’s Kiss (TLK) which C$ does not have. In fact every couple that we’ve seen have TLK it was their very first kiss, C$ has had a gratuitously numerous amount of kisses, including a few failed TLK attempts. To me that automatically discounts them but there are still people out there who think that ridiculous test was what confirmed it when in fact it completely and utterly disproved them as a TL couple and I’m gonna prove it. Let’s take a look at the test scene in episode 5x20 “Firebird” just because I have a strong desire to rip it a new one. Brace yourselves this is gonna be long.
I’m gonna do this in sections and put it under the cut because it’s going to be so long.
I. The Dialogue
II. The Test
III. What the Show Says About True Love and Comparing/Contrasting with Swan Queen (just because I can)
