"we are the heroes of our time"

“If God listened to a word ma said, I’d be living in a mansion with a handsome millionaire and gorgeous kids. She forgot to say married?”

Dear Eugene,

I will defend Regina faster than I will defend myself. I don’t think you want to see that side of me. Trust me, it’s not pretty.

I will say this, though, in case you weren’t aware, there’s this really incredible thing that has existed ever since fictional stories were created called *drum roll*… A REDEMPTION ARC! Wow! Characters can have second chances! Characters can redeem themselves for shitty things they have done in the past! Wow! Such innovation!

I know, it seems almost too good to be true.

Eugene, we do agree on one very important thing. Outlaw Queen makes absolutely no sense.

However, I must ask you this, are you sure we’re watching the same show? Just to be clear, we are talking about Once Upon a Time, right?

“Emma

and

her

have never

had

a single

non

hostile

interaction”

NOT EVEN ONE, RIGHT, EUGENE?

They have never saved each other or anything. It’s not like Regina gave up her happy ending for Emma. Not at all. It’s not like that’s an actual canon thing that has happened.

Or believes in her

It’s not like they work as a team

Or make each other stronger

It’s not like Emma tells her to be careful

(Or like Regina looks as if it matters when she does)

It’s not like they protect each other

Or worry about each other 

Or smile at each other

Or trust each other with the life of their son

I see. Well, we should get these bills and things out of the way before— I have to go now.

Tamlin and Feyre escape “Under the Mountain” and arrive back in the Spring Court hand in hand | Harsh cut to the House of Wind where Rhysand crashes to his knees | Morrigan (audience has no idea who this is) shows up and asks him what’s wrong? | In the background we see Az and Cass (audience is like who are these hot ass men?) | Rhys says: She’s my mate. | Fade to black

Feyre and Tamlin’s wedding in ACOMAF | Feyre freezes halfway down the aisle | WABAM DRAMATIC THUNDER AND BLACK SMOKE AND SHIT | Enter Rhys who says “Hello, Feyre darling.” | Fade to black

Feyre dead in Tamlin’s arms Under the Mountain | pan side and shift focus to Rhysand | Harsh cut to Feyre’s eyes as they open and nothing else | Fade to black

I mean this nicely, because elain and lucien are both nice people! but they are just completely unsuited for each other. Elain at her core is the embodiment of “soft” aesthetic and is just kind and likes gardening and enjoys quiet discussions etc (like a certain shadowsinger-)

And then there’s lucien, who is sweet and witty and enjoys someone who’ll bite back at him and likes to laugh and hunt etc. They are both genuinely good people…that just don’t belong together.

Elain has outright said the mating bond means nothing to her, and lucien, my sweet fox, I love him, but he’s clearly miserable and trying really hard to convince himself that the mating bond was right. That’s how he grew up, being told and told a mating bond was special and sacred and fated. He’s probably struggling to accept that maybe, in this case, it’s not?

He never spends time with elain (I don’t blame either of them, they are terribly awkward around each other) and doesn’t seem to have that longing that rhys had for feyre, or cass had for nesta.

He’s perfectly happy to live with vassa and jurian instead and y’know what? Good for him. Elain’s happier healing with Azriel and rebuilding gardens and making friends with the twins, and lucien is happier with vassa and jurian, travelling and finding his spot.

Rhys, seeing all this in his mind::
