I have been trying to get excited for a show now that Once Upon a Time has closed its book, but nothing really appealed to me. Until Manifest dopped their first trailer. Immediately, I was intrigued by the concept. Also, the fact that Josh Dallas is one of the stars of the show helped too. So here’s why we’ve […]

While TV shows and movies are a great form of entertainment, they can also portray strong messages, such as strong, feminist characters. These women are strong, independent and aren’t afraid to go after what they want. All traits that the media should be teaching young men and women. Emma Swan (Once Upon a Time) It’s […]

It’s been a month or so since we last Captain Swan. For the last time, might I add, and well, I miss them. However, there are still other ships out there just as great as them, both romantic and friendshipy. Is that a word? It is now. Obviously, no ship can come in the way […]

Oncers, you thought you saw (read) the last of me! Since I’ve had a couple weeks to digest the ending of an era, because it is an era, I have realized Captain Swan was the ultimate ship. Which I already knew, obviously, but the series finale really solidified how well-developed they were. We got everything between […]

Long live the Queen, one might say. As Once Upon a Time has concluded its seven-season run a little over a week ago, we are eager to see where the stars of the show will end up. Most notably, Regina Mills herself — Lana Parrilla. While we don’t have the inside scoop, we do have our own […]

Once Upon a Time recap: Season 7, Episode 22, “Leaving Storybrooke,” aired May 18, 2018. Okay, I can explain the delay in this article. I needed time to digest the episode, as this is the last time I will ever recap for this fandom, and that’s simply too much to take in. Plus, after the episode, […]

*This post will be a bit more on the somber side and probably not as light-hearted as I write because I’m saying goodbye to my favorite show* As I sit here typing this, I am totally in denial that Once Upon a Time is ending in a mere 24 hours or so. Seven seasons. 155 episodes. Several […]

Once Upon a Time is one of those shows were there’s a ship for everyone. With that comes many swoon-worthy moments between these canon couples. For some, you may swoon over everything your ship does. For example, Captain Swan could literally just be standing there, and I’d be like “they’re so cute and perfect.” Captain Swan […]

We all have those episodes of your favorite show where you can watch multiple times and not get sick of them. Once Upon a Time has multiple episodes that have become my go-to episodes when I’m feeling sad, happy or annoyed. No matter the mood, OUAT has got my back! They will be episodes I can go […]

The story may be ending, but that doesn’t mean Once Upon a Time has to be forgotten. Seven seasons, 155 episodes, countless moments we’ll always remember. A show about hope and love, it has given the fandom so much. We see ourselves in these characters; our hearts have broken alongside these characters; we have watched stories play […]

We are heading into the final hour of Once Upon a Time. I am a mess; this season flew by. Part 1 is just the beginning of defeating the final big bad, but it won’t be easy. It was so fun seeing some of the old villains and heroes in this episode. Nostalgia at its finest. A […]

We all have our favorite season or half of a season for a show. With Once Upon a Time, we have been lucky to get many arcs and seasons. In fact, it’s hard for me to just pick the top 3 arcs that I enjoyed, but “I love a challenge.” If anyone got that reference, you win. […]

Once Upon a Time recap: Season 7, Episode 20 “Is This Henry Mills?,” aired May 4, 2018. Guys, this episode was WILD and crazy, and I am all kinds of confused. Things are starting to come to a close now that the curse is finally broken and Gothel is dead. However, it wouldn’t be Once Upon a […]

Throughout the seven-year run of Once Upon a Time, viewers have been graced with a wide array of ships, both romantic and friendship ones. There’s a ship for anybody in the fandom. From Captain Swan, to Captain Charming, to newer ships like Mad Archer, the show has crafted pairings in such a fun and captivating way. In […]

Once Upon a Time recap: Season 7, Episode 19 “Flower Child,” aired April 27, 2018. Okay, let me preface this by saying this wasn’t my favorite episode ever. Put down the tomatoes, you guys. They can’t all be winners. But it’s not shocking considering this episode was centered around the least likable character to ever exist in […]
