Once Upon a Time as a subversive take on fairy tales
This is going to be (probably) the first explanatory post re-cast series. I mean it’s no secret that Once Upon a Time basically fails to be subversive, sometimes managing to be even more conservative than Victorian tales and the Grimm Brothers (ha ha fuck the Grim Brothers). And more often than not destroying whatever significance original mythologies (ahem, the Underworld arc, Orpheus and Eurydice. Seriously he gets torn to shreds by nymphs after he becomes a misogynist. If only) and more recently Jekyll and Hyde (HOW? It’s like crashing a car in the desert).
Anyway the re-cast is meant to be everything the show isn’t. Racially diverse and well, gay af. Planned & Endgame Swan Queen. So I’m gonna start explaining my reasoning for each re-cast and probably do a new post for when I have the other cast members. Links to each edit are in the actors’ names. They all have playlists because why the hell not.

It's the sixth of october and we all know what that means
"It’s the sixth of October. A pivotal moment in Storybrooke’s history and the turning point in Regina Mills’ life. And it all began with a spell, a Sheriff, and a thief."

Nice! From the (not so good) quality of my laptop's screen I couldn't tell what you used on them.
Ha! Voodoo. So necessary, sometimes, with digitalisation.
Anyways, they look rad. Keep them top notch ;)
Good morning, sunshine! I just wanted to drop by and tell you that your illustrations for the OUaTVS are wondrous. I specially couldn't take my eyes from the details from the ones on the "headers". What did you use? Pastels? Cheers!
Hello you lovely thing! Thank you so so much for this message! It means so much to me to hear that people like my illustrations! :’)
All of the colour illustrations are watercolour, with very occasional use of acrylic or gouache! I then take them into photoshop and work some crazy digital voodoo onto them ;) haha!

PAPER SYMBOLIZES WORDS WHICH SYMBOLIZES BRAINS
AND ROCK SYMBOLIZES BRAWN.
BRAINS OVER BRAWN.
MIND OVER MATTER.
PAPER OVER ROCK.
