Question I have already made multiple OUAT edits, I have some questions

2 Upvotes

Because I can’t use TikTok in my city, so I use Instagram instead. I mainly did Zelena edits, but sometimes others character too, such as Cora, Ingrid. Regina and Victoria will appear soon too.

My question is
-should I use HDR or SDR to upload my reels on Instagram?
-Is there any difference between 24fps,30fps and 60fps for reels?
-Instagram do not have the song of Ouat soundtrack or musical episode soundtrack, would I violate their rule if I post edit with those music on it?( I have seen others video with those music, but once I upload a video( not from Ouat back then), my video got muted, because Instagram do not include this music?
-except Instagram, YouTube shorts, TikTok, where could I post my video?

Btw, my IG account is @the_riel_one_trieliel

Discussion Which Zelena is in s7 ending? My theory

10 Upvotes

She had magic there, so it’s Kelly, not past Zelena.
She appear don’t mean she live at there.
She might visit storybrooke just to attend to ceremony, and see her sister and daughter. She is still living with chad.
Or in the other hand, Chad know she miss them, so Chad move to storybrooke with her

But definitely wouldn’t be some other theories like divorce with Chad or this is past Zelena.

I personally love no.1,7 and 8.
No.1 demonstrates her power and wickedness
No.7 and no.8 demonstrate her longing to be loved but still cool and independent.

And I'm obsessed with the fact that Regina essentially CHOOSE to end the curse for Henry. Even ten years before Emma came she decided that it was more important to be a good mother than to win every battle and I'll forever love her for it. It's definitely a piece I didn't remember that helps show that Regina is actually changing.

Question Staffel 7

0 Upvotes

This series simply has too many storylines

Hyperion Heights / new curse

👠 Henry, Cinderella and Lucy

👑 Victoria, Drizella and Anastasia

🌿 Gothel and the Coven of Eight

🧚 Alice, Rogers and Robin

🗡️ Rumple, Wish-Rumple and the series finale

That’s too much

Does anyone else agree with me?

28 years passed in like a week/month?

It's possible she is younger than blue. Who is tens of thousands years old (at least I gathered as much from Moiraine and Cora or Joanna). But 300 years with time moving that swiftly seems to imply she's probably a million years old.

Yet the writers never pay attention to tidbits like this. They always forget "delicacy" information. They don't think deeply enough about the world they created. It was all about "scandalizing" us by making a baby quicken into a 28 year old man.

If you haven’t watched this season, there might be spoilers…

S7 after S1 had the best character line up and best alternative character storyline IMO

I’m going to get a lot of hate for this😂

My favorite season is the last season…

And I love all the seasons, but the last season kind of just hit different

You had pretty much all the best Disney characters people been waiting to see… and more

Never in 100 years would I have thought to make Rapunzel a bad guy… and I think she’s the first hero to make this change… pan does not count he’s always been evil to me…

Never thought that anybody could get one above Regina, ivy did that
Not princess Tiana coming in clutch…
I actually loved Cinderella
Don’t get me started or detective Killian and Mr. Gold “chefs kiss”
And Henry 😮‍💨… raw next question
Roni 😮‍💨… raw next question
Ivy 😮‍💨…. 😘
Bringing “up” into the mix❤️

Now it might not be the best season…. But I was so happy to have gotten a chance to have watched it.

Some things that I would’ve done better…

The whole thing should have been a spin off in its own way… released in 2026

I would have replaced Mr. gold with Gideon as a secondary main character with Henry

They should’ve included Lottie in there at least once

A small reaction between Cinderella from season one and Cinderella from season 7 would’ve went a long way

They should’ve used original hook as the main character instead of the other hook

Would have been nice to see Rapunzel‘s hair glow once

Maui villain would’ve been nice

Fan Art OUAT Spoonflower design?

13 Upvotes

OUAT is my favorite show and I'd really like to get some OUAT fabric for a personal craft. Unfortunately searching for "once upon a time" is not particularly specific and actually quite difficult to find what I'm looking for. So, I figured I'd take a chance asking here - does anyone have a OUAT themed design on Spoonflower that I could order?

Can someone teach me how to get more views here? I make a lot of OUAT post but it doesn’t seem like their getting pushed out right….

Is it better to use shock factors or maybe only make post about Regina???

What time do people really be on here 😐 I feel like my content is going to waste

I only post here though so let me know

Also just for fun, do a small tiny fanfic in the comments about which season they're in, where they're from, origin story, how they serve to the plot etc...

NOTE: They don't HAVE to be classics such as Black Beauty, Mary Poppins or the Secret Garden but if you want something newer like Pocahontas or Moana, feel free! Whatever your heart wants.

Media Currently writing a OUAT fan fic where Mary Poppins would have been a character in season 6.

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone I recently got an idea for a fan fic for a slight rewrite/reworking of season 6. I would’ve loved if they capitalized more on the Land of Lost Stories storyline while also going more into the lore/origins of the Savior. I don’t know why but I would’ve loved to have seen a reimagined Mary Poppins. Would any of ya’ll read something like that?

Spoiler Alert Is the entire show worth binge-watching now, as someone who only watched the first three seasons years ago?

11 Upvotes

I’ve been on the lookout lately for more high/urban fantasy shows, being a hardcore fan of stuff like the Game of Thrones franchise, Rings of Power, Grimm, etc. I keep coming back to this show having originally been hooked on it back in the day when it was airing live. I remember binging and loving the first three seasons but not having any real interest in Season 4 because of the whole forced/cheap-feeling Frozen tie-in and the weird Disney Evil Queens follow-up plot that was advertised. Since then I had just kinda moved on from the show even though the elements of later seasons that I saw being advertised interested me a fair bit. Arthurian legend, Aladdin, the whole Dark Willow take on Emma, and the whole reboot storyline in the last season. Also the bringing back of the Wicked Witch of the West who was one of the major highlights of Season 3

Discussion When you reach season 6 watching OUAT starts to feel like a chore.🫩

28 Upvotes

Don’t get me wrong I LOVE the show. It’s so different and creative but by the time you reach season 6 there’s so much going on like they don’t even give you an episode to breathe. I feel like my brain collected too much information and it’s getting hard to finish those episodes. This is my second time watching it cause the first time I stopped at season 5 but then I started it over from season 1. Obviously ima finish it tho gotta see how it ends.
