They’re definitely up there as one of the worst ships in OUAT history, in my person opinion, but they’re not intolerable, except on the rare occasion that they really, really are. However, them being just tolerable is exactly the reason why I prefer Henvy. I actually thought that Henvy was going to be the endgame, at one point, because Henry and Ivy together just gives me very strong romantic vibes. When I’m looking for a couple in any TV show, but especially OUAT, I’m not looking for ‘ Oh, they’re satisfactory. I guess that would be alright. “ because that’s still exactly what I feel whenever I think of Glass Believer. To each their own, I suppose, but I’m honestly going to continue shipping Henry and Ivy because they make the most sense for me and don’t seem as forced; they made me want to root for them.

I’d shipped AU pairings in this fandom before, I won’t lie. But that was mostly ‘ oh, that would be cute, but the canon ship is cuter. ‘ because I’ve actually shipped all of the main pairings until now. With Glass Believer and Henvy, it’s just like ‘ don’t give me that. Give me this. I’m not rooting for that; I’m rooting for this. “ in a sense. Exactly. I also tend to doubt most people would be so vocally negative about Glass Believer if there wasn't a better option literally breakdancing in front of them and screaming, "Heeey look at me, I'm the Henvy ship, don't I look inviting?!?!?! Don't I have fun, natural and enjoyable romantic moments? How about the girl falling in love with the guy she poisoned and then undoing her Curse because of it? Love redeems!" It was pretty obvious.

That’s exactly what I’m saying. If Henvy wasn’t the obviously better option, if they hadn’t show us that potential, I wouldn’t be as passionate or upset about this as I am. It’s the fact that they give us something really great, then, take it away in favor of something that pales in comparison, that I don’t understand. I guess, from a writer’s P.O.V., I can understand it. If you have a vision, then, you have a vision; it’s your story, your rules. But still.
