replied to your post “it’s not easy being green” impressions”

“Also, I just wanted to mention something that’s been bothering me on an Evil Overlord List level. There’s absolutely no need to keep Rumple in that cage. She could have put him in the guest room and said “stay here”, and that would have had the same effect. Yes, I know, not the point, but still. It’s unprofessional, lady.”
You put your finger right on Zelena’s important points: yes, she’s more powerful than Regina, but she’s also … well … unhinged. She has no
impulse control, and is needlessly mean and petty. As well as being
deluded enough to blame people for injuries for which they are in no way
at fault. “I’m going to hate Regina and ruin her life” because Regina
got what Zelena wanted. Regina didn’t know you EXISTED you moron! She’d
have handed the job of Mommy’s Punching Bag over in a second if she’d
had a chance!

Like I said: the witch fight was a very good showcase of exactly that dynamic. Yes, Zelena could have won on sheer strength alone, but she can’t get what she wants, because Regina literally gave away a part of herself for someone else to keep safe. I meean, it hardly gets more on-the-nose than that. (Also, Regina actually has the intestinal fortitude to taunt an enemy who’s not locked in a cage, but that’s neither here nor there. Just imagine me waving little red cheerleading flags during that entire scene ::cough::)

You cannot believe how hard I tried not to say “you and Cora deserve each other” in the main post. (Because, while I do like to hate on Zelena, nobody deserves to have Cora inflicted on them, especially not as a child.) And I doubt that’s accidental. Zelena doesn’t actually want what Regina has, she just wants the perfect, idealised version she made up in her head.

{Quick request to anyone reading: Im watching OUaT for the first time, and I want to avoid spoilers. So, if you want to discuss something spoilery, I’d be grateful if you could start a new post for that. Thank you!}

The image of Regina trading places with Zelena back when they were young, and Regina running away with Daniel into the sunset gives me life.

I’d bet someone has written that AU *g*

Freeze on the Stones, one of the best canon divergents  I’ve ever read

Thank you! The summary does sound fascinating, too. (Though I’ve been told that characters from up to 4B appear in the story, so I’m saving that one for later.)

I’ve not read this fic…..

Its a good fic. @toseehowthestoryends makes all the characters and ships on the show actually make sense.
