I've noticed alot of auguments lately abought weather one ship または another has chemisty. From what I've seen the issue is that people dont really have a firm grasp on what chemistry really means. Many people seem to be useing completly different definitions when they talk about chemistry. Even though both definitions have the right to use the word chemistry they are very different.

Now before I start I'd just like to say, I'd 愛 to hear everyone's opinions. I'd 愛 to discuss または ディベート this, but please don't attack me. It is my opinion, how I see things, I'm not trying to present this as fact just one point of view.

Generally we get two types of chemistry on OUAT. The first happens anytime two attractive, confident people are alone together. These kind of people 'look' good together. They are confadence and sex appeal squared and that really turns people on. But that all it is. Sex. This isn't just a TV thing ether. Even in real life when あなた see two attractive, confident individuals get together everyone automatically thinks "They're so perfect. They must be so happy together." even if they don't even know them. In my experience this is rarely the truth. Ego get in way... Ect. Anyway my point is sex appeal isn't everything and on its own it doesn't equal true chemistry.

True chemistry is a combination of many things and yes sex appeal is one of them but for me at least it is one of the least important. I judge chemistry によって how much 宇宙 the other person seems to ocupy in the other persons mind. When they are together what is that person focusing on? When they look at each other does it feel like they want something from eachother または does it feel like they would offer anything to make the other happy? Do they place their partners happiness above their own? Not just big sacrifices but little things. Do they take they もっと見る difficult path so that their parter will be a little bit safer? Chemistry is about a constant unflattering set of thoughts and actions that reveal their feeling for each other. When done right it is subtle but it leaves an impression.

Also a few people seem to be confusing history with chemistry. Just because two characters have history doesn't nessasarally mean they have chemistry.

Once upon a time has a unque combinations of example #1 and example #2.

Ships that are examples of #1 (sex appeal) are:
- Captain Swan
- 白鳥, スワン Queen
- Jefferson/Emma (This could also me a case where the actors real life chemistry wears off on their characters)
- Gina/Spoon (Gina is special in that she doesn't even need another person to have chemistry with. The evil クイーン oozes confidence and sex appeal like a slug.)

Ships that are examples of #2 (true chemistry) are:
- Snowing (even if あなた don't like them you've got to admit they glow with chemistry)
- Rumbelle (these two have so much chemistry that あなた can't help shipping them even though their relationship is obviously unhealthy and borderline abusive.)
- Mulora (you can argue with me on this one but if these girls don't have chemistry I don't know what it is.)

Undetermined ships:
Swanfire/Swan Thief: These kids defantly have something but it's too early to tell weather it's chemistry または just history.
Frankenwolf: Again too early. But I'm feeling chemistry.
Red Beauty: I'll admit they have chemistry but it's 'friend' chemistry. Same goes for Red Snow.
