I hope we can still be friends! Of course we do ! XD I don't particularly ship them, but I like it anyways :D I think it's fun, and I'm no monomaniac shipper in this series (except CharmingSnow ♥) so I like seeing differents pairings, especially when it's fun.
I really like jetgirl78's quote XD

:D *clings to you*

I'm well-aware I'm always the oddball shipper, it's kinda isolating, but oh, well, it's pretty fun anyway!

My fear is just that people will think because of my kooky ships that I'm one of those delusional fans who'll be trying to insist it's canon and that my way is the only right way to view the series and then get scared off. No way, I ship and let ship and I'm still happy to squee with the rest over their faves as well!

(Speaking of Charming/Snow, I love your icon and always sigh over its prettiness whenever I see it, but I'm curious- do you know what that text in the middle says? *polishes glasses and squints* My eyes can't make it out...)

I like seeing differents pairings

This show is fabulous for all the potential pairings. I could ship EVERYBODY in the show, tbqh. I've never been able to multi-ship before but all the characters have such enjoyable dynamics with each other, it's so easy!

My eyes got opened to this pairing mainly due to my ridiculously brainwashing flister, hoshinekoyasha, and then ( ... )

I get your point about not wanting to claim it's canon, but I wouldn't have judged you even if you hoped it woud become canon :D Everyone is free to believe what they want ^^ I know what it's like to be a hard shipper fangirl, and I can be sort of "yeeees it *is* canon, look how they are sweet to each other *o*" XDXD (but well, I'm not that delusional, and it's also for fun XD and even if I thought about something being canon, I let people think otherwise ^^)

(it is indeed *-* But I also can't read the text ! :/)

Haha actually I don't ship many characters yet, just CharmingSnow/DavidMaryMargaret, of course, and I've just begun shipping GrahamEmma ^^ But I enjoy seeing people make fan-work about MrGoldRuby or RumplestinskinEvilQueen XD It's fun.

I agree with the dynamic of the ReginaEmma characters ! That's pretty awesome.

Thanks, bb, I appreciate that. I get uber-paranoid that everyone is judging me at times, lol. (sadly, this is borne out by painful experience, had to leave a comm 'coz people were harassing me over my faves *eyeroll*) I wish more people had your easygoing tolerance!

I'm excited for Amy Acker coming on the show. I already want to ship her with everyone but the character whose love interest she is, um.

It's incredibly how much Ruby love there is! So sweet when minor characters get attention, although then it becomes annoying when there's so much fan love for her, but TPTB don't give her scenes! Double-edged blade of fandom; I doubt I'd've cared about her if it weren't for other fans being all flaily over her and now it bugs me when she's not given screentime. But I hear the ladies are meant to be hanging out in one of the upcoming eps, so that'd be cool!

RUMPLES/EVILQUEEN, ZOMG. ♥ Yep, I'm multi-shipping again, since I've seen/heard promo stuff for ep 8 and watched more Lana/Robert interviews, hee! :D

Yeah, Emma and Regina totally like the personal space thing. I do like them too and they do seem like two gay parents fighting over Henry. I'm curious on where everything will go though.

I like how they did that rise about hate thing. That was really good.

I love how well everyone does in the interviews together. Still voting for Josh and Lana getting married and having lots of babies though

It just amuses me the way that J-Mo and Lana choose to play the hostility between their characters. 'Yes, we're going to smile prettily and stand really close to each other'! If you take the gifs of them at the coffee place out of context, you'd totally not get that they're meant to be enemies!

IKR? This is such a neat dynamic for the hero and villain, I love it! You can especially see the gay moms subtext here:

I hope they never stop getting in personal space.

They are like gay moms, I love it.

I will freak out if they kill her off, I mean, freak out, throw things at the tv and cry for hours on end. and imagine that prince charming/david saves her

Totally enjoy the pretty. I know my fonts rarely come through to make it look like its on something like that, so for them to actually pull all of it off, I'm in awe!

Hopefully they'll all have more interviews as it goes along.

*tears* I want Josh/Lana!!

The concept for the Rise Above Graphic is actually really neat, but it's easy enough to execute.. if you'd like I could show you.

I just marvel at how different their real voices are from their characters, the both of them! :D I'm so impressed with accents and vocal shifts because, even when I was in community theater, I never learned how to DO that so I always just sounded like me. Much love for their ability to do that!

borg_princess December 10 2011, 00:18:44 UTC
It's incredible, isn't it?! I can't imagine having such control over my voice. I'm not sure which is more impressive- Robert hiding his accent or Lana changing the register of her voice, they're both so talented! ♥

Could you make out what Robert says near the beginning, around 00: 40 something about...running off into the hills together? Evil hillside? Anyway, I love how they seem like friends and they're always saying how fun it is to work together. Oh my heart, this cast is perfection. *sighs happily*

No, I couldn't hardly understand his brogue in general! I said to my Mum, "He sounds like Groundskeeper Willy, but with a thicker accent. I don't know what he said!" LOL

They do play off each other IRL fantastically, which is nice to see. So many movie interviews have the actors going "meh" at each other when they have to interact. ABC's done something right for a change!

borg_princess December 10 2011, 00:35:27 UTC
Yeah, he needs subtitles... :P I had to rewatch it a few times to get what was being said- SUCH a hardship, lol. :P I love his accent, though, even when I don't get what he said and I'm just laughing 'coz he and Lana are.

These actors are setting a new standard for me, I expect everyone to play off each other this well now, lol. SO SPOILT. But it's nice to see how they all get along really well instead of being awkward or disengaged. Go, ABC!

Ooh, your icon is lovely! I followed the link on your userpics page, so yay for new icons I hadn't seen before! *squish*

Wow those pics of the queen and Snow are interesting! I thought Jennifer and Ginnifer looked alike -- just look at their facial structures rather than anything else and they're definitely similar enough to look related, I think.

I totally like looking for Regina/Emma subtext too. :D I just really like their dynamic and I can just imagine Regina with her arms around Emma and Henry all "my family now, bitch" to Snow/Mary. Hehe.

borg_princess December 10 2011, 00:13:57 UTC
IKR? I flailed so hard when I saw them. I love the costumes, I love them hugging (even though I know things are obv going downhill after that, it's still sweet for the moment!) and I really love the Queen's hair there, SO ELEGANT. *wants that hairstyle*

I think with me, I never saw it because I knew J-Mo from House, so I was well-aware of who she was, and I'd seen Ginny from Big Love and various movies, so it wasn't like me seeing two unknown actresses and being taken by the similarities, it was just seeing two actresses I knew quite well and NOT seeing those similarities, if that makes sense? (IDK, that's just me, though. I have cousins who are twins and people can't tell them apart, but to me, they look so different 'coz I'm so familiar with them)

They didn't look more related to me than any other two pretty white women, so I never really got all the confusion over them and I lol'd when I saw secrets on FS referring to them by the wrong name. But when I was going through pics for this post, the third from above was the first time ( ... )

Her hair is gorgeous!

And that must be it -- them being unknown to the people who confused them. I only knew Jennifer from Trek and knew that Ginnifer looked vaguely familiar and then when the show went from the fairytale world to ours I just assumed that that was Snow in our world because I wasn't sure where they were going with it. Which is silly, yes. Because they're obviously different women but at the time I was confused about the direction the show was going. :]

ILUUUUUU. *tacklesmooch* It's such a fun way of viewing the series, y/y?

::squishes!:: It totally is! I didn't even notice in the ep that she put her hand on Regina's back! ::squee:: I just loved their facial expressions and interaction when Emma's all "I need to go!" and Regina is all "Just get him." <3<3

I haz massive hair envy. I want to be rich only so I can pay a stylist to do my hair like hers and follow me around with a brush and hairspray to make it look perfect even when I'm exposed to the wind and various elements.

OMG, do not make me think of Trek! I CRIED. Two minutes into the movie and it got me by the heart and squeezed, cruel world!

Yessss, it was such a fabulous sequence of moments for them! That ep was kinda boring to me 'coz of Jiminy Cricket, IDEC, but those Emma/Regina moments made it worth my while! I love the angst with them fighting and then Regina getting choked up and Emma's like 'whoa, she's actually upset, um, okay, don't fight, try to help her', d'aww! MORE MOMENTS LIKE THIS, PLEASE, SHOW.

Although the fight in ep 7 also pleased me, it was pretty satisfying seeing them trigger each other like that, lol.

Snicker. Well, we can still be friends as long as you don't require me to ship them. I can get onboard with finding the rivalry/arguments/antagonistic relationship interesting and entertaining and such, but I dno't think I'll ever get to ship. I'm pretty canon-based when it comes to shipping, just in general. Not always, but often.

Not that I really have a ship for either of them, atm, apart from vague Emma/Graham, but I wouldn't say I'm set on that.

borg_princess December 15 2011, 06:47:03 UTC
No worries on that count! I'm always amused by my own tastes at these bizarre ships, I wouldn't be trying to force them on anyone else.

(the reason I'm reluctant sometimes to admit to my ships is not because I'm ashamed of them, but because I'm concerned people will think I'm a hardcore delusional manic fan who will insist it's canon and EVERYONE MUST SHIP IT)

finding the rivalry/arguments/antagonistic relationship interesting and entertaining

That's entirely it. I'm utterly invested in those kinds of relationships. I call it shipping for convenience, but it's the interaction I'm most keen on- if writers turn it romantic, that's cool, too, but it's that delicious rivalry that appeals to me the most. (I'm finding it hard going with fics- everyone seems to want to make them kiss in the first chapter out of nowhere, which, yeah, no, not what I'm looking for- then again, I'm ridiculously hard to please. What I want is for someone to come along like this Andy/Miranda writer from the Devil Wears Prada fandom who wrote over 100, 000 ( ... )

h_loquacious December 16 2011, 02:03:18 UTC
Okay then. That makes more sense. See, I don't think I could read fic where they jump into bed together or start making out. It would be weird for me. Develop the relationship in a like, "yeah, okay, it's a remote possibility, BUT FOLLOW MY LOGIC HERE" kind of a way is a different thing.

I can respect that, even if I don't always agree with/like the logic.
