So I started watching watching Once Upon a Time...

I am years late, I know! I know this is an old show that had its moment and most people just remember fondly, but this show is insane and if I can’t talk about it on tumblr I can’t talk about it anywhere, so im gonna talk about it !!

The following includes spoilers for season 1

Thoughts on the main characters:

Mary Margaret is a hypocritical protagonist (tm) and I don’t like her, but her coats and fashion is peak 2011 style

Emma is boring and also hypocritical

Regina is evil lesbian Hillary Clinton and I love her, also her backstory was so funny because I was like “I wonder how they are going to justify all her anger towards Snow White?” and then the answer was kind of stupid, but also i really liked that episode so idk

Prince Charming is the worst character. He is a cheating manipulator and I don’t like him

The kid (now adult man?) who plays Henry is doing a pretty good job, especially for child actors

August (pinocchio) is kind of sucks until he shows his wooden leg and then I thought he was kind of hilarious and I loved that

MR GOLD IS THE BEST PART OF THIS SHOW!11!! He doesn’t chew the scenery, he fucking eats it! This man rolls up with his cane and snappy suit and floors these bitches, and also I am so excited for more Rumbelle

And finally: JUSTICE FOR STEALTHY (and grumpy is like 100% gay but also its awesome he wants to fuck a nun)

Of course non of these thoughts apply to the actors, they are all totally cool people im sure

Other random thoughts:

The CGI is so bad in the fantasy sections of the show. Its not even the CGI artists fault either. I just cant it all looks so bad and sparse. like none of the rooms have any stuff in them because of the green screen

Also I kind of expected Red to be the wolf, but at least her whole story was kind of badass

This show is hella anti-adoption too! And, I get the foster system is fucked up and its meant to be all fantasy, but they go in real hard on “real family” and especially early on in the season it feels weird to me.

I do like the costume design, especially Red’s costumes and the whole town’s style is very early 2010s disney edgy t-shirt, like the ones where minnie was tatted and stuff

I think all the main characters are sort of crummy people. They have committed fewer actual crimes than Regina, but they aren’t really good either. It reminds me of my favorite song in Into the Woods

Me: Once Upon a Time season 1 is so cozy and comforting :)

ouat s1: government corruption, a woman almost having to give her baby away against her will, a mine collapsing with a child inside, a girl locked in a mental hospital, arson, homeless children needing to steal to survive, said homeless children almost getting separated in the foster care system, infidelity, drugging and kidnapping, attempted muder, actual murder, a murder trial that has nothing to do with the real actual murder, a man slowly and painfully turning into wood, etc.

It's honestly really funny to me that in S1 Storybrooke, a town over which Regina has full control, a town she specifically created for the purpose of achieving victory and bringing total misery to her enemies, a town in which any dark reality or terrible fate could be tailor-made to its victims, Snow White—her chief rival, occupying the pinnacle of her hatred—is just. A school teacher. A job she clearly enjoys and for which she is well-suited. With a minimum-two-bed loft. And a wardrobe of absolutely adorable clothes. Like I get that she's separated from her One True Love and all, but also, I feel like Regina could have gone at least 70% meaner on this.

Contrary to popular assumption, being evil doesn't necessarily make a person hot. Choosing to do the right thing even when it's the harder option and you're so tempted to do the wrong (and easy) thing, on the other hand.....

#you know how anne shirley (in her youth) says she doesn't like WICKED boys she likes boys who COULD be wicked but choose not to #this is kind of adjacent to that #hot evil characters SEEM hot because they demonstrate 1) relentless drive 2) dedication/devotion to their cause 3) some sort of passionate #feeling towards a certain goal or person 4) a level of unhinged abnormal to your average #person when that cause is threatened 5) they have good fashion taste. most of the time #but THINK about those things separate from evil and how they translate to a person who is bent on doing GOOD!#and you get killian jones #also. not to be that person. but also. that's hot #songbird watches ouat

i’m obsessed with the fact that henry & killian swordfight regularly on the jolly roger and that it brings killian so much joy that he’s grinning the whole time and he’s so proud when henry (almost) bests him like what an adorable father/son combo

#killian jones #henry mills #the pirate and his son #captain cobra #ouat #once upon a time #i love them your honor #this is just so cute #so pure #i love one (1) father son duo
