ParticipantI agree….that sounds like something that could really work. I’m getting over the fact she looks about three to five years older, but I think by the midway of this season, I will be all out shipping Glass Believer! Which terrifies me because none of my ships have worked out in the past…
I guess it’s never bothered me since I don’t think it matters if a woman is older than a man (maybe because the men in my family married slightly older women). Plus, I don’t even think Dania Ramierez looks older than Andrew West. They look very close in age to me. I really don’t think we have anything to worry about with Henry and Cinderella though because A&E have compared them to Snow and Charming, the most stable and secure of all of the OUAT couples out there. They’ll get together by the end of S7, if not sooner.

ParticipantHere’s something interesting. You know Neal’s infamous wanted poster? The one that the antis just love to latch onto?
Apparently, Archie got his degree 3 and a half years INTO the Curse.

Participant^ Yeah, nothing can be taken at face value when it comes to the timeline on this show. I don’t even know how they are going to handle this new timeline.

Apparently, it still takes place in 2017. Which means Henry left before graduating High School.

ParticipantThe swan keychain.
A stolen car.
A dream of a quiet little home on an island, (islands have a beach association).
A fake story about his family dying in a fire.On the one hand, I appreciate that they’re including such blatant callbacks to the love story of Henry’s parents, because it means that they haven’t actually forgotten what their story had originally been all those years ago.
On the other hand, I wanna scream because if they did still remember it all, and think that it mattered this much, then why did they throw it in the trash the first time?!?!?!?
I have to wonder if they reason they were SO heavy handed, to point of “OMG OK WE GET IT” about setting up all the indisputable signs that Henry and Cinderella are TL is because they don’t want fandom to get any ideas about an alternative and have history repeat itself.

Yup, I think that’s a big part of it. If there’s any possibility of a love triangle in present day (like between Henry, Drizella and Jacinda) then they want to make it crystal clear that it would be more of a David/Katherine/Mary Margaret situation.

ParticipantWas there a burnt down house in the last episode of Season 6 in the flash forwards with adult Henry? Maybe some part of the fire story is real.

Participant@Phee that was everything the swan keychain just touch my heart however if they show swings or dream catcher I will lose my mind.
Phee and @RumplesGirl I agree that they are solidifies that Henry and Cindy are not only true love but are married. Which makes me wonder does this means they do they not want what happen in season 2 and 3 to happen again. This is the story they are going with and stay out of our writing room fandom.

KeymasterCame across this post today just browsing and I think it sums up a lot of the feelings I have regarding Emma leaving Henry to go back to SB either “because pregnancy” or any other reason. Why it’s an odd narrative choice to make and why it does still more damage to Emma’s character

THAT! There were a lot of obvious SF-like moments. Lucy is to Kid Henry as Adult Henry is to Emma, so I guess that would make Cinderella kind of like Baelfire. It is incredibly obvious.

There is no chance Henry won’t get together with Cinderella, who’ve been compared to Snow and Charming by the showrunners. Perhaps there could be a fake LI while they’re cursed, but there is very little doubt that they will get together again by the end of the season.

I wanna pull my hair out reading some of these “spoiler theories” (aka the worst-case scenario). Emma’s journey was supposed to be about Henry bringing her home. Now I’m supposed to believe that Emma would willingly abandon her son and grandchild to go off with the “real” pirate and that she would just leave behind a cheap, knockoff, useless pirate? If that is what happens, only Regina will have shown real maternal love to Henry for his entire life, coming to him in his hour of dire need. I agree that the showrunners have totally messed up Emma’s character and her entire relationship with Henry, all for the sake of the pirate. I guess it doesn’t really matter much anymore since the real Emma Swan has been dead for several seasons already. Good riddance!
