Emma Swan - Blog Posts
Oh yeah, remember that?
I often feel as though I am the only one who enjoyed the Dark Swan arc. Perhaps this is because I am a goth, and thus much prefer when characters ‘go goth’ (or really, just wear black and have cool hair), as opposed to their normal look…
Not saying that I dislike regular Emma - I love her so much - but her little ten episode goth phase was very nice.
Also, she was so dramatic! Her entrance at Granny’s was very reminiscent of 30s black and white horror film villains - very Bela Lugosi with the lighting. Or perhaps Morticia Addams, seeing as it was in colour…

I love seeing these posts bc they are 100% true
Gaaaaaah THOSE TWO
Honestly, I love making these and I am so, so obsessed with them 😶
Instead of a gender reveal party, have a queen curse you and the only person or creature that can save you or help you is the goblin man in the basement who can see the future so you go down and make a deal with him and then he reveals the gender of your baby

I'm reading this just now. I can't come back to that place. I'm over it. I was over it. Like...I'll never stop being a Swen, but I was resigned, somehow. Guess I'm digging up too many memories lately, which is not good for my sanity. But then I read analysis like this one, very beautiful and complete and explicative, and I just remember why I'll never really be over them or out of that place.
To tell it in modern terms: SwanQueen is my scar 😢
THE SWANQUEEN HUG
I completely understand why your upset Swen about this hug. Sur it was about the engagement, but it actually show us the dynamic between Emma and Regina. We know they are friends now…friends do hug.
Nevertheless, I agree that the scene was off. Entirely. First of all, Emma seems more embarrass than anything when her mother looks at her ring, and even more when Henry asks her how Hook proposed. We all know he didn’t really do it, Emma pushed him to. She could have said she found the ring and then explain how it turn out, but she chooses to tell:
“I kind of say yes before he had a chance to.”
While saying it, she forced a smile. Note that this conversation happen with Henry and more importantly Snow, the woman who represents the fairytale world and so the Savior’s title given to the blonde. The conversation feels rush, tense, like Emma doesn’t want to talk about it. Bravo for Henry ironic tone, by the way! Snow doesn’t even notice her daughter’s behavior, and the first thing she wants to do is planning the wedding. My bet, she would want for Emma to have the same kind of wedding they done in the Enchanted Forest. A fairy tale wedding. Instead of being happy, the blonde cuts her and tell her mother, the wedding had to wait.
“We’re going to wait a little while before we start planning…”
Did you notice the chill in Emma’s voice… She doesn’t want her mother to freak out at this news, but she seems more in touch with herself than before while saying they want to wait to get married. Saying yes is one thing. Marrying the man is another.
“OH why?”
Ok it’s because of the Gideon thing, but did you see Emma deflecting eyes? BOUM, downcast, like she was sad to disappoint her mother and then she brings Gideon justifying the delay.
After, we have Zelena and Regina entering the loft. Zelena is the one noticing the ring. Why that? When they enter the loft, we can see Emma going to place her hand in her jean’s pocket, as she doesn’t want other to know. Except that when you’re engaged to the person you love, you want the world to know. Emma’s hiding it to Regina. Zelena sees the ring and in a wicket smile exposes Emma to Regina.
“Is that an engagement ring?!”
Stop the video when Zelena pulls Emma’s ring to her eyes. Focus on Regina who is literally shocked to hear and see the news. The blonde is awkward in this moment and sad. She doesn’t even know how to respond. Emma’s attitude is worst than with Snow. Zelena doesn’t say anything, not even congratulation. Nothing. Then we have this shot of Regina; open mouth, eyes cloud with tears. That’s not joy, that’s saddest.
“Hook proposed.”
Why saying this now instead of the conversation whit her mother?! The smile she gives is hypocrite, forced and a façade. So now Hook proposed. I thought she kind of say yes before he had a chance to… Way to go Emma. She chooses to say Hook proposed when Regina learns of the engagement. Really?!
“Oh… Emma…”
It sounds reprimanded no? Like she was going to add to this: “I thought I told you you’re too good for him…” Emma’s face after…Is she daring Regina to say something?! Chin held high, smugness. She is clearly daring her to say Something… and when the brunette says:
“I’m happy for you. I really am.”
It sounds like a goodbye. Regina is letting go. “Really” shows us Regina tries to convince herself. The hug was a way to feel each other close, one last time before letting go. Exactly as the conversation topic changes just after that. Remark Emma’s face in the hug. She is disappointed in the brunette, and sad that Regina didn’t say a word.
“That’s means a lot.”
Of course it does. For Emma, it means, Regina would not fight. But in reality, it means, the brunette cares so much about her that she rather watching the blonde marries a pirate than letting her know she has feeling for her. It means actions speaks louder than words. It means Regina is in love with Emma and chooses to sacrifice her happy ending in order for the blonde to have one. It means. Regina is Emma’s True Love.
I have to go there, one day😭😍
0 thoughts head empty, it’s the bench
Someone please tell me how this scene was not meant to be what it looks like.
After all these years I still can't get it.
weed
anyone thought of how smoking weed with the characters in OUAT would go? I mean think about it...
Emma: being the sheriff in this town I could arrest you for this.
Y/n: Jesus Emma just take a hit it'll calm your nerves.
Emma *takes a hit. And within an hour later she's explaining to you how the book Henry has still don't make no damn sense.
Snow white: are you sure it's safe?
Y/n: *already stoned and stuck nods*
Snow white *takes a hit* she stares at you and begins walking over to you slowly. Within ten minutes she's already confessing her love for you while trying to seduce you and it works.
Regina mills: where the hell did you get a bag of weed from? And in my house no less.
Y/n: aye look don't worry about that ma just join me.
Regina mills *takes a hit and smirks at you within an hour shes having the best sex of her life with y/n.
Did you ever regret it once? No not at all.
How to say "I'm terrified of losing you" Swan Queen style
🙋♀️...particularly when Emma dragged Regina into the closet after Henry ate the apple turnover 🔥😬😬
Who else?
Wait what??? If this is true it makes me EVEN MORE ANGRY AHHHHH
I’m still mad they confirmed Regina is bisexual only when the show was over and for nothing. Like they didn’t want Swanqueen we get it but they could have explored Regina/Maleficent relationship in the past, or put Roni with a woman. We all know Lana wouldn’t have say no. Cowards
