Huh. I get Ms. here in the US and when I was working this summer, I was only 20 and just out of college. But a lot of people also use my first name.

I think there are a lot of similarities.  I get the parallels.  Both meant to be queen, both with powers, both isolated, both with parents that want to control them.  But it's their similarities that point out their key differences.  Elsa shut herself away rather than hurting anyone.  Elsa is scared of her power hurting people.  Regina embraces it.  It's just like the similarities between Emma and Regina.  Both had terrible childhoods and loss and isolation.  But Regina took that and became a person that wanted to take away everyone's happy endings ad Emma became a person that wanted to make sure no one was as miserable as she was.

Emma and Elsa have a lot in common with Regina.  And neither of them became an evil queen, a villain.  Neither of them became a murderer or child abuser.  

The fact that Elsa and Regina do have so much in common reflects rather badly on Regina.

Grosssssssssssssssssssssssssss. Was it portrayed as not gross? HOW?

It was portrayed as romantic.  And more Regina's past whitewashing.  Seriously, sex in the vault where she stores her hearts, kept Daniel, the doorway hidden by her father's casket.

While Marian's frozen and Regina's ignoring the phone call from Snowing to tell her that Henry's hurt and upset.

Someone needs to gif both JMo and Jamie doing the challenge in the same post.  Gremma!

Emma:

She does it because Henry thinks it's awesome.  He films it and Charming's the one to dump the water on her.  She nominates her dad, Ruby, and Graham (because he's alive)

Charming in Sheep Boy verse:

It's a good cause.  He does it on the front steps of the police station and puts out an empty bucket next to the ice water.  If people fill it with cash he'll do the challenge without his shirt.

It gets filled by the crowd.

Gahhhhhhh, no, now I want this to be a thing. I’m so taken with this!

I giggled hard when I got this, which was Dame's reason for sending it.  i forget what had been going on at the time; I think maybe she'd been talking about Ives/Graham and then sent this to balance it out?

It's always a relief when something I write as I'm falling asleep makes sense in the morning.

I don't know what Graham's backstory is, if he's a prince or anything. But Regina's the sea witch.  Emma escapes the confines of being a princess by hanging out on ships.  She has a dog named Swan.

They're younger than show canon, and Emma has a baby brother Neal.

Graham is uber careful about consent not just in their relationship in general, but each time.  Emma loves it, because no one's ever been so careful with her before.  But at the same time she worries because she knows it's Regina still playing a part in their relationship.  To help convince him that he was okay assuming sometimes she used both of their handcuffs to tie herself (naked) to their bed.

Graham spent ten minutes trying to find the keys she hide before he did anything.  She made sure he knew how much she enjoyed everything he did.

Oh wow, that's interesting how things go around.

I would be sad to lose Jamie, but  OMG Emma and Graham as female would make me so happy.  If the show had been written that way I would have loved it.
