I really wish the quoting feature was working on the forum right now but I loved everything in that post, Kat.
Something I saw on tumblr earlier and you might have seen it too Kat:
By definition, a true love kiss can’t be forced. It can be manipulated, the way Regina talked to Belle about it, to drive Rumple crazy, but true love can’t be forced, true love, in order to work, has to be something they both believe in

After I read that, my mind went immediately to my true love meta because I have a section that discusses unconditional and conditional love. I also talk briefly about true love’s kiss too but I totally agree, circumstances can be manipulated for a true love’s kiss but like with true love, and love in general, it must be freely given.
