I’ve been meaning to post in this thread before because I’m so happy that Lil’ Red posted her idea from Tumblr here. I especially love the idea of Worcester being a part of it too now that I’ve seen their symbol. (I wonder if we should be looking at other places near Boston and their names/seals to see if they could possibly fit in with the theory that the borders are weakening on the other realms, and that’s who the big battle will be between not Rumple vs. Regina vs. the Charmings.)
Everyone has a lot of great ideas about what went wrong between Emma and Bae that it seems like now there’s just almost too much information about Emma’s past. Like I could see Bae being the married man that Emma was referring to, especially if they decide to name him Peter in our world as a nod to both Peter the Pumpkin Eater and him being a lost boy like in Peter Pan, but then I wonder if their eventual story might be too much like what happened between Mary Margaret and David Nolan. For me, I would have hoped that the writers’ learned their lesson about trying to write adultery in a true love story, assuming Bae and Emma are, because that really dampened the audience’s enthusiasm, imo, on Snowing in a lot of ways even if Snow and Charming weren’t technically adulterers and weren’t themselves at the time.
However, while there might draw parallels between Bae and being a Lost Boy like Peter Pan, I’m predicting that they have to go with Jack or John as what he’s going by here especially if he lives in Boston because of the “Jack and the Beanstalk” story. So maybe it’s Emma or Henry that is connected to the Phoenix/Phoenix Arizona and not Bae like I thought because I like the idea that both Bae and Emma were in care. Then, the friends of Emma’s foster family she was visiting had foster children of their own, which is why they were friends with Emma’s foster parents, and Bae and Emma crossed paths again and hooked up at that particular time.
If they crossed paths again, maybe Lil’Red’s theory is right and maybe Emma had a crush on Bae, but then Bae flips out on someone and turns out to be like his dad when his dad beat the crap out of Moe French which makes her realize that Bae is pretty unstable unlike the heroic type of person she thought he was.
Or maybe they just met each other for the first time but have an instant connection, and either he tells her to stand up for herself against an abuser and bails out when she gets in trouble like in hjbau’s theory. Or they made plans to runaway together and LisafromOH’s theory is correct that Bae abandons Emma after they get caught. In either scenario, it also seems possible because he wound up being like his dad and being a coward in the end instead of staying by Emma’s side.
Personally, I would prefer that the married man turns out to be someone entirely different than Bae because I think if he’s just a coward then that parallels his father, and I think can be forgiven eventually because of his youth and also because of whatever redemptive actions he does in Storybrooke. Or if he has extreme anger issues, it’s certainly possible that he’s worked on controlling his anger for the past 10 years. I’m not sure if they’ll go this route though because
Emma already seems to have a lot of anger issues and lashes out a lot, so it might be redundant to have another character like that. Although, I guess that could be something else they have in common.Technically, in a legal adoption, a social worker would have meet with Regina for questions and checked out her home. If she was trying to pass Gold off as a husband, he would have been present and….pretending to be an affectionate husband….OMGosh! This could possibly be the most hilariously-awkward scene that hasn’t been!
I wonder if he has some legal rights to Henry in this scenario, signed paperwork maybe? I’m so hooked on Rumple being his grandpa, I immediately go to this thought! I need help!Wow that would be crazy if they did pose as man and wife. I do think that Rumple could have found a loophole for Emma when she was trying to gain custody of Henry, but I immediately thought it had to do with the father not having signed away his legal rights. (Although someone looked it up at TWoP when this issue was being discussed, and I guess Arizona is one state where it doesn’t matter if the father never gave his consent not that the writers would have cared, I imagine, if they had gone there.) Now I wonder if the loophole had something to do with Rumple and Regina pretending to be married, and Rumple’s name actually being on Henry’s adoption papers as his adopted dad. At least it’s better than thinking about what the two of them might have got up to before Rumple got his memory back. 😯

In all honesty, the Red Cricket fan fictions I read were pretty sweet. If they ever get any screen time together, I think I could ship them..or might now! 😆
Yes, I don’t mind them in fan fiction at all. I’m not sure about on the show because Red has mentioned Billy a few times, so maybe that will be who she ends up with.
I don’t understand Swan Queen, at all. The main defense of it seems to be if you don’t like it, you’re being homophobic. I actually think it would be interesting to see a same sex fairytale couple, didn’t Kitsis/Horowitz say at some point they thought it was an important thing to show?? But Regina has been trying to destroy generations of Emma’s family and is now going after Emma… 🙄 Forget it! That HAS to be true-dysfunctional-love
I don’t get Swan Queen either. SwanQueen doesn’t bother me that it’s a slash pairing. It just bothers me that Regina has been trying to destroy Emma and her family, and Emma is just suppose to get over it and be with Regina. 🙄
[adrotate group="5"]Oo I do like this idea! Maybe next year we can even see some of our characters journey there, if they can leave now. That’d be a nice change.
I would say, as a real life Mainer, that like someone said earlier, Boston is the closest major metropolitan area to Maine. When we want to go to a concert or see a pro sports team, we go to Boston. So it wouldn’t be unusual for Mainers in Storybrooke to want to use it as a hub of sorts.
But that still doesn’t explain a lot and I’m definetly interested in this theory. What are the chances of Emma living there and all these things being referenced there?I really think that whatever the father did isn’t going to be that bad. I mean people seem more then willing to forgive Rumpel and Regina for their murder and mayhem so whatever Bae did to Emma is not going to be anything close to that.
Yeah, this fandom defiantly has a thing for brooding characters with a dash of sociopathic tendencies. Apart from Baelfire raping Emma, I’d say he’ll be redeemed in time for whatever happened and instantly adored by fans. Rape (which is kind of common in some fairytales) seems like it would be pushing things too far for Sunday Television.
Right now, I’m expecting something along the lines of Henry’s father being a criminal – hiding it from the girl he was courting and trying to come off as a normal guy. I actually expect Baelfire….Henry’s dad was possibly the first stable person Emma knew/dated and his nobleness was part of the appeal. That being said, when she learned what he was capable of (walked in on him ‘working’, don’t think they’ll take it as far as Henry’s dad hurting Emma physically) – everything comes crashing down.
Since I’m still living under the theory the Baelfire is Jack: when I look at the casting notice siting 'loyal and kind' for Jack – I see a noble guy there.But also smart enough to know how to hide what a damaged wreck he is on a date. Lucky Emma! 😕
That is certainly true. If the father raped Emma then there can be nothing between them but Charming standing in line behind Emma and Snow as they all attempt to kill the father. I don’t think that will be the case because then the character cannot be a character except as a villain and i do think they seem to want the father to be a character on the show. I still like the theory that the father was involved in whatever Emma did that got her sent to jail before she was pregnant with Henry. Whatever that might be. But yeah, nothing like rape or extreme violence.
Yeah, someone I know from school found out I like Baelfire for the baby-daddy and recommend a fanfic. In it Bae was apparently Emma’s foster parent, raped her – just lovely things!
So that’s where the idea of rape came in for me. In the end: I wasn’t as disturbed as I was furious about the injustice it gave to all the characters involved!If the show, for some horrible reason, goes down that route: Snow and Charming will destroy him! 👿
Yeah, i could see that Emma might have been sexually abused by a foster parent though i could also see ABC not wanting to go there and having Emma be neglected and maybe hit by a foster parent but not sexually abused. I agree that i think that the show will not make Henry’s father, whether Bae or not, be that man because like you said Snow and Charming will want to destroy him and then there can be no character moments with him because he would just be villain and that’s it.
