Happy Friday Y’all.

So we have many interesting pairing in Once Upon a Time.

I thought we would start with a couple of standards and then move to the lesser known.

Now Da Rules

Please oh PLEASE I am begging you to play nice. Might not be your OTP but let’s be polite. I promise we will get to what you love.

So first up Charming Snow.

Who is I think the creators OTP.

What do you like about the relationship?

What do you think they could work on?

Do you think they will need a marriage counselor any time soon?

What one scene made you swoon?

Again have fun with it.

What does OTP stand for? :o)

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

One True Pair.

Don't worry I had to look it up when I first saw it.

A-ha! Thank you! :)

I like the "I'll always find you" certainty to them in season 1 and how that clashed with MM/David in Storybrooke. That was nice storytelling.

What could they work on? I don't know... going into season 4, it looks like they have hopes of finally really connecting with Emma!

Marriage counselor... um, no. Not those two. Not unless Snow blackens her heart again or something like that.

Swoon... I think it was in season 1 when Charming took baby Emma and rushed her to the enchanted wardrobe with Snow sobbing. Very touching.

What do you like about the relationship?
-I really like that they don't really throw unnecessary drama at them. They're this strong married couple who don't take anybody's crap. I also like that their relationship is very even and Snow is a badass woman, although I love all the badass women.

What do you think they could work on?
-Something that always bothers me is how they're more important to each other than Emma is sometimes. For instance, how Snow would've stayed in Neverland with Charming instead of going home with her daughter. But then, I also enjoyed how Snow immediately jumped into the portal in the beginning of the season so I'm not sure.

Do you think they will need a marriage counselor any time soon?
-I haven't watched the past few episodes but probably not.

What one scene made you swoon?
-I've always enjoyed their 'I'll always find you' and then their True Love Kiss has always been great (even through multiple instances of that).

I think the more important part would bother me more if Emma were a child. Children always have to be put first. But I don't think that is necessarily true once the children grow up. Part of being an adult is being on you're own and fending for yourself. Family relationships change when children grow up. The parent's job for adult children is not to care for them in the same way. It becomes more of a friendship relationship, though not exactly the same. And this is even more so I think in this case since Snow and Charming didn't raise Emma.

So I'm okay with Snow choosing to stay with Charming who would have been alone otherwise when Emma was an adult and had Henry and would not have been completely alone.

I love them. I don't think either of them are the most interesting characters on the show, but their romance is awesome.

What do you like about the relationship?

I love that they've been through obstacles. I love that although there was attraction at first sight they actually had to work at it and fight to have a relationship. I love that they both protect each other and are equals in every way. She's just as protective of him.

What do you think they could work on?

Storywise, I wasn't too keen on the "it's okay to cheat because it's true love" angle of season 1. Although it wasn't as bad as some other shows (Grey's Anatomy for one) because there wsre consequences. But still. Cheating is never okay even if you love the person. And it doesn't speak well of either of them that they let it get as far as it did. Yes, they were the real married couple, but they didn't know it at the time.

As for now, I think I'd like to see some more interesting storylines for the both of them and for them as a couple. I'm actually not sure I agree that they are the creator's OTP because I think if they were they'd be given more to do.

Do you think they will need a marriage counselor any time soon?

Not really.

What one scene made you swoon?

I love all the "I will always find you" scenes and the fact that they've both said it at one time or another. Mutual protection is a thing I love in a relationship

Charming Snow is definitely nowhere near the top of my Once ships. I don't know if it's because the actors are actually in love(which I am thrilled over, don't get me wrong), but I don't feel much chemistry there. There's been many cases of even the most talented and renowned actors lacking chemistry with one another on screen if they love each other off.

That being said, I actually do love most of their backstory scenes, although, admittedly, it was even better before it was changed in the season finale. I do also love the touch that Snow was a thief and first met Charming when stealing from him. I wish they could somehow get that chemistry back.

I'd also like to comment on something else involving them, but it's spoilery and I don't know how to do the spoilers tag. But suffice it to say, I am adamantly AGAINST how the curse was brought about the second time, if we're to believe these two really love each other.

Still, I don't see them ever needing a marriage counselor.

What do you like about the relationship? Now they're not my OTP but I do like the. They're cute. They're stable. There's no doubt about their love even when they're fighting. I like that Snow was a tough bandit when they met and that the beginning of their relationship was a bit rough. It wasn't love at first sight. Really, the sort of sweet happy relationship that Snow and Charming have is what I want in a REAL relationship (without the Evil Queen trying to cause trouble). They just have a perfectly nice relationship.

What do you think they could work on? They have a habit of going off on their own to do something they don't think the other should be involved in. Snow does this far more often than Charming (e.g. the Medusa thing), but Charming has done this too (The Tower). Sometimes I think they have a little trouble communicating on those things.

Do you think they will need a marriage counselor any time soon? Maybe to get over the trauma of almost losing their newborn child AGAIN.

What one scene made you swoon? The end of A Land Without Magic. When they see each other again and know who they are and kiss. Absolutely swoon-worthy!
