@Myril, I reread some of your early posts in the other thread and would like to change my stance on Ruby. I agree with you that she could easily be part of a queer ship.
A pair I think would be interesting to see is Tinkerbell and Mulan. Both spent considerable time in a male dominated environment (Mulan in the army and Tinkerbell in Neverland), both were friends with someone close to Rumple (Mulan with Belle and Tinkerbell with Baelfire), both have helped Snow and Emma, both have had run ins with a Mills woman, (Mulan with Cora and Tink with Regina)
Ruby and Mulan would be interesting. They both know Belle, both haven’t talked to her since season 2, both know Snow and Emma. Ruby’s quite outgoing whilst Mulan is quite serious. They both have confidence, both can be stubborn.
Archie and Roger from 101 Dalmations could work especially if Roger had Perdita since Archie has Pongo.
If they brought in Jasmine, they could gender flip Aladdin. That could be a surprising twist.
They could have Granny turn out to be queer or bi. The older characters need romance too!
I think Mulan is most like going to be the character through which this topic is explored. She has links to three of the main characters (Belle, Emma, Snow) plus Robin and he’s linked to Regina. She’s already an established character on the show so they don’t have to use up valuable screentime introducing a brand new character.
All magic comes with a price!
