Queen Regina

No RP requests, please.

Ch-ch-ch-changes [ooc]

I’ve been a part of ask-onceuponatime-rp since its inception as Regina. It’s been amazing and fun and an experience I honestly had no gauge for. I’d never in my life known that role playing on tumblr was a thing, I had no idea people used ask boxes for this. There have been ups and downs, Letters to Henry, yes/no sessions, movie live blogs; I was even a mod of this group for a while.

But, as they say, all good things must come to an end.

I’m sure everyone, from people who follow this blog to the people in the actual group have noticed that my answers don’t happen consistently anymore. I have a lot of real life obligations to handle that go beyond work: Taking care of my family, working at my job full time,  plus a podcast that takes up a lot of my brain time when it comes to OUAT. Something had to give eventually, and as the wise Betty Draper once said, it’s a good quality to have, to know when something is over. I know, for me, this is over.

What this means, is that I have to leave the actual group I have been a part of since December of 2012. It pains me to have to leave all of you, and that’s perhaps why I’ve put this off for so long. But you all deserve to have a Regina who can interact with you and do more, and I’m unfortunately not that person anymore. Summer time is supposed to be the time I can do more, so if I can’t be as active as I need to be when the show is off the air, I can’t imagine meeting an activity check requirement when the show is actually airing. I wanted everyone to hear it from me, first, rather than a mod post. There will be another Regina, and you all will have the RP interactions you deserve.

What this means for the blog itself:

I will continue to answer questions in my own time, as I can get to them. I promise no consistency or speediness, but at the very least, everything in my inbox (currently 150+ messages) will be answered eventually. Part of my slow down, in all honestly has been because of my frustration with the gif situation on tumblr. 500+ of them, of gifs I’ve used for a long time, and suddenly the majority of them don’t work. It’s so frustrating when that’s a large aspect of this RP experience.

But, in any case, this blog will not go anywhere, I will not delete it or archive it, and there will still be activity here. I do understand unfollowing, however, if you’re not a fan of this change. Some things that I’ll be able to do in my freedom from having rules, are speculate a little more on spoilers (but not a ton, there’s no reason to go crazy about stuff we absolutely have no context for) and play the non-canon shipping card a little heavier. I’m going to revamp the blog with a new layout, update the FAQ, and go from there. I will not be interacting with other characters. I do not have the time to commit to actual role playing on tumblr, as demonstrated by my terrible lack of doing so even with the people in the same game.

I wanted to end this by saying thank you to everyone who has been a part of this group, especially those who have been here with me since 2012. This has been an incredible experience to have, and I’ve loved every moment of it. You guys will find a fantastic Regina, I know you will. And if you want, you can find me at @desperationandgin

Thank you, to everyone who followed this blog. Without so many of you (over 4,500!) I wouldn’t have done this as long as I have.

So, all of that being said, I will see you all around soon, answering questions when I can. All of you, be kind to each other.

Anonymous: Would you be willing to live in the forest with Robin and the rest of the Merry Men if the situation called for it?

While I’m glad it’s not something I have to do, if it came down to it, I would live wherever we needed to be, together.

I don’t know what to say, but I’m…

That’s wonderful, gray face. Thank you for sharing that with me.

Anonymous: would you like to be considered the new savior now that Emma's dark ?

I would like to be considered one of many people who are going to fight to get her back.

Anonymous: Birthday celebrations as queen?

No.

At least, nothing to actually celebrate me. Oh, I was showered with gifts and jewels by the king to be sure. But there were no parties, if that’s what you mean.

Anonymous: When is your birthday? Did Cora ever throw you a birthday party? Did you have them as the Queen? How about in Storybrooke?

My birthday is February first, and in Storybrooke, no, there were never any celebrations. When Henry came along, we always spent the day together, just he and I.

Cora, when I was the right age, began throwing balls on my behalf, and past a certain age chided me before every event for not finding a suitor.

I owe her a few quarters as well, it seems.

Anonymous: You know, you have to understand that when people criticize Robin, it's only because we want you to be happy and we want only the best for you! You clearly love Robin and can't think rationally about your relationship, so someone else has to do that for you. I know, I know, nobody can convince you to change your mind about him, but we're only trying to help!

Oh, my mistake. I’m unable to make choices for myself and you’re only trying to help.

Cora would have loved you all.
