The only parts of OUAT fandom that reach my dash are photosets of Regina or Hook and how they're misunderstood...neither of which I really bother looking at.

Oh...I also have a person on my dash who ships Belle/Ruby and reblogs photosets of Ruby being the REAL Beast of the story. I'm assuming she doesn't like Rumbelle (which I can kind of see why because that ship is full of unfortunate implications but is also somehow still shippable to me-maybe because no one in the show bothers to try and blank over the shit Rumple has done, instead Belle is was trying to get him to actively change his destructive behaviours). So I guess that ship was is pretty easy to see brewing.

Heh heh heh. I'm still more sympathetic towards Regina apologists because woobie-ing a woman is practically unheard of.

So I guess that ship was is pretty easy to see brewing.I've seen that one! I've also seen many other ship comparisons to other Disney movies, and...Shakespeare. The funny thing is that I could easily come up with exactly the same comparisons for just about any other pairing. You want a comparison ( ... )
