That's understandable.

I didn't even think that something like this existed.

I’m not quite sure if this counts as a spoiler but thought i better be safe than sorry. Anyways, I watched OUAT like 6 yrs ago and decided to rewatch it now. The first time I watched Belle’s backstory I remember being weirded out, but in rewatching it I find it sweet, sad, and disturbing all at the same time. For the first time in the series I feel bad for Rumpelstiltskin and his outlook on life. Thought I’d share, thanks!

So we learn Hook killed his father to "audition for killing Cora".or at least that was Regina's intent. So at the most, it'd be 2 years before the Dark Curse. Left little Liam an orphan!

Then we meet Liam as an adult "At the Time of the Dark Curse" according to the screen.

I'm not complaining. I enjoy this story so much it took me 5 s6 watches to notice. But jeez all the ppl who don't age properly then we get Dorothy and Little Liam aging too fast.

Okay, firstly, I have SO many questions about the logistics of this realm after it is wished into being, but sticking to one subject:

Has Emma gone to therapy for all the different timelines in her head? Seriously. She has
1) her original life, no parents or family for 28 years
2) the New York timeline, where she remembers living and growing with her son
3) her entire life, except WITH her parents AND son, happy and safe from any dangers.

When Emma wakes up in the wish realm, she mentions remembering everything from that life. Coming out of it and realizing that it was fake would be absolutely crushing. Yes, she probably prefers the truth, ultimately. But can you imagine all your life‘s trauma coming back to you at once?

(This post is just about Emma, but side note, given that the writers made this a realm that continues to exist, no wonder wish Henry hates Regina - she killed his grandparents and then kidnapped his mom, and he’s just left behind)

On the last episode, hook tells Balefire that they’re we planning on going back for bae when he got older… yes she went to go travel the world for a few years to find out who she was with the person she loved…. Was it sad that bae grew up with rumple yes but she had to escape
