Bouns Fan Points For Using The Words 'canon', 'crackfic', 'fandom', And 'fanfic' To Logically Describe

Bouns fan points for using the words 'canon', 'crackfic', 'fandom', and 'fanfic' to logically describe the popular western social viewpoint of a religion nominally called 'theirs'.  Why aren't I following you?

if you go to hell for being bad why wouldn’t satan reward you for it why does he make you suffer wtf id be like hell yeah motherfucker you my n**** lets party

"...because your face is not the one beneath someone’s boot."

Can we also consider for a moment the impact of family systems? Cora was a strong woman, a determined woman, who despite her strength and determination was still forced beneath the boot of a (then) petty, spoiled princess. Based upon what Once Upon a Time showed it is likely that Cora did not have a mother or siblings, that her father was an alcoholic, that she routinely starved, and that her very life was at the whim of royalty. Not the mercy, the whim. Despite this Cora understood the importance of knowledge and power (as displayed by her ability to read and desire to be taught). Quite literally Cora's face was the one beneath someone's boot. Given her oddly obsessive focus on Regina and Regina's power (odd due to her missing heart) I have no doubt that many of Cora's lessons revolved around how powerless and hopeless Regina was in the face of FTL royalty. I also think it likely that part of the reason Regina focuses on Snow so much is because of her learned belief that the prestige and power of Snow's position makes her inherently more active and important than a peasant child in the same situation. In fact, I think it likely that a large part of Regina's lack of compassion was actively taught by Cora (and Henry Sr. who may have expressed compassion, not displayed it) while perpetuated by Snow and Leopold (through naivete and selfishness), and actively encouraged by Rumple (as a means to his goal).

  Not really 100 percent on topic (sorry).  That sentence sparked it in me and I felt the need to share.

In my ideal world, Regina/Snow (or Emma) (OUAT) would be Charles/Erik (X-men)

CHARLES: Killing Shaw will not bring you peace.

ERIK: Peace was never an option.

If owning a gun and knowing how to use it worked, the military would be the safest place for a woman. It’s not. If women covering up their bodies worked, Afghanistan would have a lower rate of sexual assault than Polynesia. It doesn’t. If not drinking alcohol worked, children would not be raped. They are. If your advice to a woman to avoid rape is to be the most modestly dressed, soberest and first to go home, you may as well add “so the rapist will choose someone else”. If your response to hearing a woman has been raped is “she didn’t have to go to that bar/nightclub/party” you are saying that you want bars, nightclubs and parties to have no women in them. Unless you want the women to show up, but wear kaftans and drink orange juice. Good luck selling either of those options to your friends. Or you could just be honest and say that you don’t want less rape, you want (even) less prosecution of rapists.
