[Once Upon a Time]

I don't hate Aurora.

Everyone hates Aurora?! Thank God I don't participate in fandom, then. I personally ship Mulan/Aurora, though, for no other reason than I refuse to believe that they brought Mulan into a show that gives fairytales (and apparently non-fairytale Disney and classic literature characters) its own spin and DIDN'T make her gay. (Also, they've been cute together in the one episode after the premiere where they interacted, but that may just be my femslash goggles on too tight.)

But I also hope Phillip stays in FTL because that way he won't be available to come back as Wren to perv on Hanna from Pretty Little Liars. DECISIONS.

I was actually kind of annoyed that Phillip didn't tell Mulan he loved her, too, since they seemed to have something going on as well. But, now that he's dead, Aurora and Mulan should have a very begrudging protector/protectee relationship that turns into something more. Except Phillip's probably going to come back and it's going to be ANGST and Mulan's going to be HEARTBROKEN and their burgeoning friendship will be RUINED because there's no way the creators are going to do a threesome.

I don't actively dislike Aurora but I was rather disappointed that the actress wasn't quite as pretty as the other women in the show. Which is a terrible thing to say, but, I mean, the women in the show are almost universally gorgeous and Aurora's just average. Her hair's kind of dead looking, too.

She looks VERY pretty in this picture, though: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mckd4ybzWu1qc17ifo1_500.jpg

The one woman on the show I find average is Snow (though I do wish I could pull off her pixie cut). /blah blah blasphemy

Link fail! I need to remember this isn't Twitter: Pic. (http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mckd4ybzWu1qc17ifo1_500.jpg)

Ginnifer Goodwin was always billed as the awkward, funny looking friend, so it's a bit of a surprise to see her as the main character. I don't think she's amazeballs, but as Snow White, she's quite attractive. I do not like the pixie cut, though.

The last bit is a weird to me because I think she is far and away the prettiest actress on the show (but to each their own, of course) and that's probably why I cut her so much slack for just being there at the moment. Do hope she gets a chance to shine though.

Thank God, it's not just me. The actress is cute on her own, but when I first saw her, I was all "oh look, it's Sleeping 6/10" because they made her look so plain.

I....reluctantly have to admit that I was disappointed with the casting for Aurora as well. Actually, not just Aurora - Phillip too. It's like they want to make sure no one stands up to Snow and Charming (Thomas and Ella were pretty forgettable too). I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but I loved Sleeping Beauty when I was little, and I had high hopes for this version based on what they've done with the Charmings, but so far it's been a disappointment. If Aurora was a more interesting character I don't think I'd care about the casting, but so far she's the least interesting of the princesses we've met.

I really liked Thomas and Ella, but I agree that they were definitely not played up to be on par with Snow White and Charming (and where the hell are the two of them anyway? They and Hansel and Gretel just up and disappeared after their stories were told). Sleeping Beauty was always the most regal, imho, and I just remember Disney's version having this great hair, so I was very underwhelmed by Aurora.

I will give the character credit, however, in that she's been out of it for at least a year longer than the rest of the world, just lost her boyfriend/husband and home, and hasn't really coped with the changes in the world. I want more backstory on her and Mulan.

I think Sarah Bolger is much prettier than the other girls, actually. They all look generically pretty. Same sort of face and eyes and noses, etc. Bolger has a unique face and I think it's quite striking.

That said, I don't think Phillip actually did love Mulan. First, that undermines both Mulan and Aurora, since both of them are pining after a big goddamn douche. Second, well, True Love's Kiss. It did awaken Aurora, no?

since both of them are pining after a big goddamn douche.

How is Phillip a douche? For loving two women? The whole secret is about wanting a threesome. If you're not onboard with that, say it, but he's not a douche for being in love with two women, nor does that undermine either (I don't even know what that means; it sounds like some sort of anti-polygamy stance).

I thought his "I love you" over the shoulder was ambiguously directed, and could have been to either -- I thought that might go somewhere, later, as a tension between the women.

As for Aurora, I find Bolger quite striking. And while I'm not so keen on her character so far, I adored what Bolger did with Mary on the Tudors, so I'm giving them plenty of rope. :)

Yes! Then again, my OTP for the fandom right now is Aurora/Mulan. Philip can tag along if he wants to.

I don't hate Aurora, but in this case I can see why people might. She's just kind of been there, drifting along in everyone else's wake, except for when she attacked Snow. I'm still holding out hope though that her and Mulan's story doesn't get lost in Emma and Snow's.

I don't hate Aurora. In fact, I ship her with Mulan.

Sounds like I should give this show another chance, all these secrets about Season 2 are making it sound wicked cool ...

Me too, OP, me too. I like Mulan/Aurora on their own too, but OT3s need more love in general.

I like Aurora.

I don't really care about Phillip coming back, but I could get on board with the OT3 train. I just really want Mulan/Aurora to happen, possibly more than Regina/Emma.

When I watched the preview clips, I honestly thought for a lovely second that they were a threesome. Then I remembered what network it was on and was sad.

I don't really care about Aurora because she doesn't have much of a personality beyond 'snobby princess'. But I fucking hate Mulan. That whole storyline could jump in front of a truck and I'd be perfectly happy.

Why do you hate Mulan, though?

I think you're in the wrong part of fandom, tbh. a lot of people ship mulan and aurora. and a decent amount like philip in the mix. there was quite a bit of discussion on my dash about how he didn't actually look at either of them specifically when he said 'i love you' before the wraith got him. but yeah, i could ship it.
