I keep seeing posts saying that SQ wasn’t intentional in the beginning, but then they started adding it when people saw it as romantic.
THEY made it queer from the start, people simply picked up on it. When they shot the Pilot and the first couple of episodes, there was NO AUDIENCE yet. Emma was queer coded and I’m not just talking about that shot of her kicking off her heels after the job (aka fake date with a stupid dude). I mean, just fucking look at her here!!
Think about it for a second!! If the show was always just supposed to set them up as RIVALING MOTHERS (lmaooo), why the fuck did they write Henry out of the scene as quickly as they could?! The kid was there for a couple of seconds and then out of their hair! The whole drinking thing also makes it more erotic/romantic/passionate… I mean, remember that overview shot of the hallway with Emma following Regina? I mean the whole thing could be the set up for a porn. And the way Regina hands her the glass, how they look into each other’s eyes… If they didn’t want to set SQ up, they could have gone for apple juice or whatever.
Why the shy “Hi” and the staring at each other??? That’s a classic romantic meet cute!!! Sit your ass down, imagine that you are writing a scene of an adoptive mother meeting her child’s birth mother. This is so not what you would end up with unless there was something else on your mind. (No, a curse and a Savior doesn’t explain it either.)
And then the second episode, still no audience response yet when this was written and shot.
Emma is wearing almost nothing for NO GOOD REASON. The whole scene is threatening and seductive. If it were just threatening, it would NOT HAVE LOOKED LIKE THIS. I MEAN, I AM SURE THEY BOTH WANTED TO JUMP THE OTHER AND ONLY AFTER THAT GET RID OF THEM, YOU FEEL ME??
So excuse me, but DON’T LET THEM OFF THE HOOK for ANYTHING! The writers invited a female queer audience, and they got it! Nobody is fucking delusional, okay?! or I’ll punch a… lesbophobe. It was always there, they put it there! If you think they didn’t create Swan Queen, then you’re taking the blame off of the writer’s shoulders. End of the story. Merde.
Happy Easter, spring fandom! Love, the fall fandom <3

“You have to be the kind of person who can make the best out of a Tuesday. You know those people who live for the weekends? They’re wishing their life away. You have to find something worth living for or else you’ll look back and realize you’ve wasted your life away.”
— Drew Marvin, English Teacher (via thatkindofwoman)
“They were going to the moon. I computed the path that would get you there. You determined where you were on Earth when you started out, and where the moon would be at a given time. We told them how fast they would be going, and the moon will be there by the time you got there.”—Katherine Johnson
We’re highlighting a couple of important TechMAKERS this week for Women’s History Month. These women have made incredible strides in STEM, despite the challenges they faced entering professional and academic fields that are overwhelmingly male-dominated.
It was only recently, with the release of Hidden Figures, that Katherine Johnson received the public recognition she deserved. There was not much visibility granted to a woman of color working at NASA in the 1960s.
Katherine made innumerable contributions to our space program, but the most important was being part of the team that put an American on the moon. She calculated the trajectory analysis for the mission because the computer they used was known to be faulty. We repeat: Katherine Johnson’s calculations were more trusted than that of NASA’s computers.
To see our full video profile of Katherine Johnson, head on over to MAKERS.
People need to realize that there’s a difference between straight people and Straight People™
“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up.”
— Stephen Hawking (via blacklodge-d)
“Modernist manuals of writing often conflate story with conflict. This reductionism reflects a culture that inflates aggression and competition while cultivating ignorance of other behavioral options. No narrative of any complexity can be built on or reduced to a single element. Conflict is one kind of behavior. There are others, equally important in any human life, such as relating, finding, losing, bearing, discovering, parting, changing.Change is the universal aspect of all these sources of story. Story is something moving, something happening, something or somebody changing.”
— Ursula K. Le Guin (via therushingriver)

people who leave detailed reviews on fanfiction are a gift to the world
all fanfic writers, ever, awake at ungodly hours doubting everything they’ve ever written or thought of writing until they see that one (or more, hopefully!) magical, long-ass comment that makes every bit of struggle totally and completely worth it (via rudderless-in-an-ocean-of-stars)
For real with the Swan Talisman keychain. Y'all love reminding Regina of what she can’t have huh. Y'all are wack asf. Stop hurting Regina and stop hurting us.
And these guys are still around too, swooshing through the yard and landing gently as they do wherever there is a promise of food. I see more couple photos on the booth now, and the males are seemingly starting to squabble. First one shows the beautiful subtle back colours of the female.
I’m a dirt person. I trust the dirt. I don’t trust diamonds and gold.

The Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku—literally translated as “forest bathing”—is based on a simple premise: immerse yourself in the forest, absorb its sights, sounds, and smells, and you will reap numerous psychological and physiological benefits. “Nature heals me with a mysterious power,” the photographer Yoshinori Mizutani recently said. Born in the countryside, surrounded by mountains, Mizutani told me that shinrin-yoku has always been a part of his daily life. In Tokyo, where he now lives and works, he takes his camera to the city’s parks and engages in a kind of photographic forest-bathing practice. In a new series of kaleidoscopic images created for us, his communion with nature starts at an almost cellular level.
