"Wicked always wins"

[ZELENA]

Finally the moment I was hoping would come

The moment he would realize he chose the wrong one

There isn't any curse I could cast to match this feeling

The pain I knew when Rumple turned his back on my heart

At last will be Regina's when her life falls apart

Suddenly the future's looking more appealing

 

Once I was filled with rage

Now I enjoy the ride

It's so electrifying

Watching all her dreams denied

 

Oh I will fly into tomorrow

My sister full of sorrow

Finally paying for her sins

I'll smile all the while she is crying

Inside she's slowly dying

Learning wicked always wins

Oh evil may be powerful

But wicked always wins

 

If mom could see me now she would ache with regret

Cause she'd witness all the glory wickedness gets

She went and made Regina queen and my blood boil

 

But that's all history

Time they all understood

What they call "green with envy"

I just call "looking good"

 

Oh I will fly into tomorrow

My sister full of sorrow

Finally paying for her sins

This strife, her life was so enchanted

She took it all for granted

Now she'll dream of could have beens

Oh evil may be powerful

But wicked always

 

[ZELENA, spoken]

Wait, why just revel in her demise?

When I can use it to my advantage

 

[ZELENA]

I'll give her a magic gift to bring The Charmings down

When Regina stands victorious

I'll swoop right into town

When he learns the spell was mine

Oh Rumple he will see

He should have chosen me

 

So I will fly into tomorrow

Delighting in her sorrow

As a better day begins

This time nobody's gonna stop me

No evil's gonna top me

Oh wicked always wins

A happy ending will be mine

Cause wicked always wins

 

 

This is my second tribute (here's the first) to one of my all-time favorite TV series - "Once Upon a Time", a story about a modern city where everyone actually is a fairytale character, with a lot of twists, cliffhangers, magic and drama. I hope to build eventually all of my favorite characters from OUAT as the minifigures, but this project will take much time so stay tuned.

 

 

SPOILER ALERT!

 

 

This is a tribute to Zelena, the Wicked Witch of the West (also known as Kelly West in Storybrooke). When I watched seasons 1-4 back in 2014, for a long time I disliked her - she was trying to kill my other favorite characters, and I don't mean just Emma (every villain is after the Savior, after all), no, I was extremely pissed off because she made Rumplestiltskin her pawn (poor Belle! poor Neal!), and she was trying to destroy the happiness of her sister Regina/the Evil Queen. But in later seasons, which I finally watched this year, Zelena become more sympathetic and complicated character, and as long as she started to be good to Regina, I immediately started rooting for her to become the next redeemed villainess. I was so happy when they finally become the real sisters to each other and also made peace with their mother (who was another villainess), it was an wholesome moment, one of the highlights of the season.

 

Also when she was evil I was creeped out by her attempts to seduce Robin Hood, and hated her when she finally succeded, and I was not a fan of this plot of "Wicked Witch wants a baby", so initially I disliked the baby as well, but then it turned out other evil forces are coming for that baby, and good characters were still mad at Zelena for what she did, so I was worried for them. Luckily, the later seasons included some time-lapse, so the next time we'll see baby Robin she's a late teenager, and she's cool! Totally not a wasted character! :)

 

 

For the character tributes I decided to pick a few (best) songs from the episode, where in the past the wish upon a star accidentally made everyone in the Enchanted forest to sing (and it was both hilarious and epic). Zelena's song is something really worth to listen - she sings about watching the sufferings of her sister, but she sings it SO HAPILLY, like it's a Broadway-type song of wanting to go at the prom or something like that. xD Also she scared the hell out of Munchkins during this one (without even interrupting her happy singing!), and it was HILARIOUS!

 

Also, for context, she meant that Rumplestiltskin was going to teach her as his best apprentice, but he chose Regina instead (despite the fact that Zelena is actually more powerful), and her mother also made Regina, the younger daughter, the heir, and not an abandoned older daughter Zelena. No wonder poor Zelena was feeling so alone the whole life and taking such great length to be loved... But as I said, it turned out well in the end, she was finally happy with her sister and her daughter Robin. :)

I hope you'll like my small Emerald City on the horizon, I'm really proud of this one. ;)
