beccatoriaOkay, I'm super confused about whose castle is whose and who's ruling what.
Right before the curse gets cast, we know that Regina isn't queen anymore, so I kind of figured that Snow was the queen and Charming was married to her so he was a Prince. We know he's still a Prince because everyone, including himself, still calls him that, but people are way more ambiguous about Snow's title. We also know that even if it wasn't public knowledge that he was really the son of a shepard, his "father", the King, is still alive, so clearly he didn't inherit that throne either.
So that would all make sense, except for the part where Snow's father's castle is on the side of a mountain and Charming's Not!Dad's castle is the one in the lake with the bridge to it - which is also the castle Snow and Charming are apparently ruling from after "taking back the kingdom".
I kind of assumed they were trying to take back Snow's kingdom, and Charming's Not!Dad's troops were just getting involved annoyingly due to his Charming-related grudge. But since they appear to claim his castle, am I wrong? But in that case, surely Charming would be a King? Not a Prince Consort?
Unless they stole back Snow's kingdom, then conquered Charming's Not!Dad's kingdom, THEN decided that a palace by the lake is totally more blinging than one on the side of a hill?
I'M SO CONFUSED. WHY IS IT THE WRONG CASTLE?

Charming is a king. But he'll always be Prince Charming.
I so hope you vid this show someday! Would love to see what you'd make of it. :-)

Like, he could be, Fairytale Land might not follow western historical protocol on the matter, but generally, the husband of a queen who rules in her own right becomes a prince consort, not a king himself since king outranks queen and he's just the spouse of the sovreign? Like, in Britain right now, we have Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Phillip?
SO CONFUSED. That's basically the only message I'm taking from these seeming contradictions. I hope they'll eventually be explained, but I guess we'll see.
As to vidding! I did vid it a few times - here (http://beccatoria.livejournal.com/162528.html) and here (http://beccatoria.livejournal.com/168379.html)! Apparently I only vid it to weird remix music. :p
P.S. LOVE the icon! :D
