On the subject of Regina’s rights as a parent, and Emma’s lack thereof:

I only have ONE thing to say about all of it.

Regina never would have gotten Henry if it wasn’t for the curse she cast. 

If Regina hadn’t cast that curse; don’t you think it’s possible Emma may have gotten married and had Henry and KEPT him? 

Regina robbed a happy ending from Emma too, and people seem to keep forgetting that. If there was no curse, Emma would’ve had parents, a family who loved her, and she wouldn’t be the guarded person she is now. She might have been 100% ready for a child if she hadn’t been torn out of a life she never even had a second to live.

Am I saying their portrayal of adoption is good? No. But you know what,  look at the circumstances within the show and stop applying reality (Since this is a show about fairy tales, and thus extremely different circumstances that can’t be re-created in reality) to the matter. The cases are just too different.

EDIT: To make my point clearer, I know that Henry wouldn’t exist without the curse, I meant this in the sense that Emma may have gotten married, had a child, and kept him or her, period, if it wasn’t for the curse.

I’m also not posting this as a Regina hate post, it’s just my opinion on the matter. You can like whoever you like, and you don’t need any good reason to. I like characters that are “bad” and have no way to justify their actions sometimes, and that’s just fine.

Snow does one horrible thing because Cora and Regina legitimately broke her, to her core, and all of a sudden she deserves death?

How does that even make sense? If the roles were reversed, I can guarantee that there would be some sort of “justification” for Regina, including bringing up her heartbreaking past and everything.

I’m in no way condoning what Snow did. It was absolutely terrible. But you know who else would pull a stunt like that? Regina. That’s who. I just don’t get how you can condemn one character when the other character you’re defending has done the very same thing, and would do it again. And yes, I know Snow is supposed to be a good character, but you know what? In reality she’s still human, she still hurts, she still lost SO much. Just like Regina did. Regina was doing what she did because of Henry and Snow did what she did because of her husband, daughter, friends and grandson. Is she flawed? Was she wrong? 100% yes. But even she realized what she did was horrible, and showed remorse, you could see it on her face how horrible she felt, and that’s a BIG thing here because even when Regina had the chance to leave or repent, if you will, she showed absolutely no remorse for her actions. I don’t doubt that Henry has changed Regina for the better, but she’s also not pure either. And after last week, neither is Snow. But you don’t see me screaming that I want Regina dead; do you? I may have in the past but my opinion has been changed ever so slightly, I’d like a redemption arc for her, and I want Snow to try and redeem herself for what she’s done too (And not in a single episode either). 

I was rooting for Regina right up until the point she decided to work with her mother. I’m not saying I can’t understand her reasoning, because all she’s really ever wanted was her Mother’s approval, but killing Henry’s entire family? Really? You think that something like that won’t destroy him? How can you say you love him in one breath and then in the next say you want to kill all of his family? I just can’t wrap my head around it.

I hope she comes back to her senses because if she really wants a future with Henry, she needs to give up on her vengeance. ALL of them do. It’s never going to bring anyone happiness. All it does it cause misery, and both sides are guilty of that. I’m not going to say one is more than the other because it’s clearly subjective to people who watch the show.

I used to enjoy talking about Once Upon A Time on here but now I won’t even go into the tag because it literally just pisses me off.

It’s sad, really.

There were no Once Upon A Time posts from me last night because my ovaries are in recovery. The Hook scenes were just too much.

A major part of this show is the Fairy Tales, yes. But you know what? Another HUGE part of the show is the existance of OTHER worlds. OTHER lands.

So why are people bitching up a storm about Frankenstein? What’s wrong with including other characters from other worlds? It adds for so many possibilities outside of the fairy tale realm, and it also opens up the opportunity to bring more people into watching the show.

Let’s not forget that if it weren’t for the fact that other worlds, like ours, existed, this show wouldn’t have happened. There would have been no curse.

So I’m glad they did this, glad they’re getting into other stories/literature aside from fairy tales.

It makes things a hell of a lot more interesting.

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my fairy tales, but I thought this Frankenstein episode was great. Can’t wait see what they do next.

On another note; I’m glad they’re showing us Rumple’s true vicious nature now. I feel like in season one they didn’t show us the true savage nature. But now they are and he’s replacing Regina (In my eyes) as the main villain.

I felt for Regina when she had to kill Daniel. I really did, and still do.

But the episode is about her letting go of her past. Letting go of Daniel, and her hatred…her darkness. Because if she can’t do that she really can’t move on, can’t change. She can’t ever be happy if she’s living in the past. The way they had her do that was gut wrenching and heart breaking, but I just don’t see how she could ever change and be who she wants to be for Henry if they didn’t have some sort of..I don’t know. Closure? It feels weird to call it that, but I think it’s right.

And the fact that she’s going to Archie is huge, I know he can help her and he’s absolutely willing to do so.

But Regina’s going to have a VERY hard time of it, I just know she is. You can’t just..do all of the things she’s done and then have no consequences, no turmoil because of it. These things happening are consequences and I feel like they might actually lead her to a place where she can be happy.

Things get worse before they get better. I just hope they actually get ther to a place where they’re better.

Sitting here waiting for people to start their shit about Charming’s “treatment” of Regina. This should be good.

Because you know what? When it comes down to it, when you REALLY think about it?

Regina has been after his wife for a long time. Tried to kill her, poisoned her with an apple that rendered her in a magical-like coma, (Which she achieved by holding him prisoner so Snow would do what she wanted. Can you imagine how he felt?), and then, when his little girl was born she ripped them all from their land to ours, ripped his family apart. She took so much from him.

SOMEONE explain to me why the hell he should have given her the benefit of the doubt at the hospital? Why shouldn’t he throw an accusation at her? Why should he trust her? He listened to her when she told him what was going on, and he shoved her out of the way when Daniel rushed at her. He wasn’t going to murder Daniel in cold blood, he was going to stop a monster. A man reanimated, with only a glimmer of his former self, who ripped a man’s arm clean off and just almost killed his grandson.

But when he saw Regina’s face, saw her pleading, he let her talk to Daniel, he didn’t shoot him.

I’ve seen him being compared to Rumple/Jefferson/Whale. What THEY did was despicable, and horrible. I felt 100% sympathetic (For the first time, really) for Regina. But Charming’s actions, and theirs are WORLDS apart, and not even remotely comparable. Regina wasn’t an innocent girl mourning her true love; she was the Evil queen when Charming was dealing with her in Storybrooke.

So forgive me for not hating Charming for treating her as if she did nothing wrong.

This is NOT Regina hate. This is a statement of facts from the show; and this is mostly about people comparing Charming’s actions to those of Rumple/Jefferson/Whale.

Another theory about the beans

It’s possible that they work similarly to the way Jack Sparrow’s compass works.

What if they take you to the place you truly want to go? Hook wanted to go somewhere he’d never age, a place where he would have all the time in the world to find a way to kill Rumple.

Bae wanted a land without magic so that he could live with Rumple, magic free, without losing him.

And it’s possible that the bean would have taken Rumple to Bae; since Rumple wanted to find him, to go to the land he went to.

For people who think Bae was sent to Neverland: The Blue Fairy said that the bean he had would take them to a world without magic; and I’m pretty sure never aging is considered magic.

I could be remembering wrong; but I’m pretty sure that’s what happened.

Bae wanted Rumple to come with him, to the world without magic so that they could live together.

Also, it’s entirely possible that there are DIFFERENT beans, that do/take you to different places. :/
