I keep going back and forth on this. I sort of want him to be just Bae because Emma is only Emma. If he has to be someone else, I’d rather he be Jack because he was connected to the magic beans, and he wouldn’t be the traditional Jack that we know. More importantly and I’m not sure I’m going to explain this right, but he’d still be Bae but known as Jack here whereas I think if he was Peter, he’d be Peter more than Bae.
I couldn’t agree with you more. Going back to the Bae as Henry’s daddy theory (as I almost always do 😆 ) I think it would have a nice bit of symmetry if that little nuclear family were the only ones who were JUST themselves. There are so many theories about who Bae could be AS WELL as being Bae: Jack, Hook, Whale ( 😕 ), the white rabbit, Peter Pan, and the list goes on, getting more and more unlikely.
Here’s my guess, He is actually Oliver from Oliver Twist…I mean they are both (practically) orphans. It’s a perfect fit! Not really, I’m just messing with you guys.
I like that you pointed out that, even if there is a bit of an age difference between Bae and Emma, it wouldn’t be unlike Rumple and Belle’s situation. I mean that seems to be the main thing that is creeping people out about the possibility of Swanfire.
But that’s not necessarily the case at all. I don’t think Rumple would design the curse if there was no chance for him to come into this world centuries after Bae would be dead. I think he made it so that the curse brought people here around the same time as Bae would have come through the portal (maybe not EXACTLY the same time, but i’m thinking within a few years) and, I know i’m probably in the minority with this one, i would really feel cheated if it turns out he was in a world with magic. I mean after all the kids been through he deserves that much at least…
On a side note has any one else seen Bae’s letter on Untold Stories…. My heart….it has exploded.
