HERE'S THE NEXT ONE GUYS!

DON'T OWN ONCE UPON A TIME.

It's incredibly easy to call someone good or evil. It makes lines clear, and things black and white. If they're labeled 'good', you can idolize them, and if they're bad, you can hate them without a second thought. But here's the thing: it's not that simple. Nothing is pure good or pure evil, and that goes for people as well. They call me the Evil Queen. I may be a queen, but I'm not evil; my actions are. It wasn't as if my most malicious act wasn't unmotivated. I would have left it at killing Snow White, but that sorry excuse for a human being just won't die. Ultimately, my only choice was to curse the whole realm in order for her to pay, and that attempt went well for 28 years until her brat broke the curse. You're probably wondering why I wanted to end Snow's life. I have a perfectly valid reason: she killed my one true love. I'm sure it's funny for you to hear that, seeing as Disney portrays me as a heartless woman who's so shallow that I can't stand my step-daughter because she's the fairest of them all (which, I have to disagree with; I'm sexy and I know it). I loved Daniel. My mother, who's worse than me, killed him. I know I said Snow killed him, and she did, in a way. She was the catalyst. I told her a secret and she couldn't keep it. If my son, Henry, ever loves somebody I won't rip their heart out. You see, I'm a good person who's done many terrible things because of my past, but I'm proud of it. You might say that makes me evil, but you're wrong. I did what I had to do to survive. My mother, day after day, drove home just how important it is not to love because it is weakness. The day she ripped Daniels heart out was the day I swore never to be weak again. All I wanted to do was meet her expectations, for her to love me. I was stupid. Of course someone who believes love is weakness could never love me, but I was too blinded by my own longing to see it. That brings up the question of why I wanted Henry in the first place. I want to be everything my mother could never be. I am strong –I never let anyone see my emotions– but I am able to love him. Or, at least, I try to. I think when I lost Daniel, I also lost my ability to love. I love Henry, though. Believe me, I do. Now that Emma Swan, that wretched woman's daughter, is here I finally learned just how deep my love for him went. The one thing I've been struggling with ever since she broke the curse is whether I'm upset that I lost Henry, or that I lost in general. Disney has it all wrong. I am an actual human being with a hear that I merely choose to ignore.

WRITING FOR REGINA WAS ACTUALLY EASIER THAN THE OTHER TWO SO FAR. JUST AN INTERSTING SIDE NOW *INSERT SMILEY FACE*
