10) Could I be best friends with Regina?
No Iâm not cool enough haha.
Honestly as much as I love Regina and I see that her prickliness comes from pain, I would find her so intimidating in person. I scare easily.
12) Whatâs a headcanon I have for her?
Ah my usual dilemma of what is canon and what is headcanon đ
Somewhat complicated by the fact that itâs been a few years since I have seen this show now. Where does time go?
Oh man this is such a good question and my brain is a total blank. Ok ok, Iâm just going to have to go with the first thing that comes to mind.
I started to write a whole thing about how Regina can be her own worst enemy and I scrapped it because I wasnât being clear. So lets be specific – season 1 finale. My headcanon is that if Regina had tried to TLK Henry awake from the sleeping curse then it would have worked. I donât think it would have broken the dark curse as well so that could go down one hell of a canon-divergent rabbit hole so put in a pin that. Regina didnât even try and kiss him. She knew what he needed, she clearly thought about it, but she didnât want to know as she assumed it wouldnât work. âToo evil, too broken, he hates me, evil canât love etc.â itâs an insecurity.
Now I donât want to get into Reginaâs crimes because thatâs another rabbit hole. The salient point is how Regina thinks of herself and this is one of the few inconsistencies in the show I donât mind. Mental health/self-acceptance isnât a linear battle. Sometimes she can be at peace with it, other times she judges herself. Season 1/season 2 was a very low point for her. Some of which was nothing to do with all the magical crazy, and just the very real true life that her sons bio mom has shown up, and she feels âlesserâ (sheâs not obviously).
But Iâve never doubted how much Regina loved Henry. I like that she did get her own TLK with him later on. But yes my headcanon is that it would have worked at the season 1 finale.
15) Whatâs my favourite ship for her?
I said this the other day but ultimately itâs âRegina x Happinessâ and I did like that her story âendâ meant it didnât come from a man. I like that Regina forged her own family, that she broke the cycle and didnât repeat her motherâs mistakes.
There wasnât really anyone on the show that clicked for me and that I thought was right for her.
Now as a lighter more joking answer I donât sleep well and I run stories in my mind. These stories are allowed to be full of OCâs and cliches and be the sort of thing that fandom ridicules because it is just me telling the story to myself. I do confess I have fixed her up in my head with an OC. I may have written about 10k of fanfic towards it once but for the most part that has died a death on my HD (aside from the odd question like this where I was like hey why not itâs just a bit of fun).
