Yeah I think it does, but Im still a bit confused over this True Love concept, if you can go out and find new true love- then why is it so magical in the first place? I feel like True Love is like the ultimate matchmaker service. This guy is right for you, but this guy or that guy would also be perfect for you if you mess the first one up.. its like arranged marriages. the words True Love sort of Looses their meaning in my mind if this is the case.
That is a very good question. The only thing I can think of, it’s referred to as True Love, not One True Love. OTL would imply, True Love only happens once. But Once is all about second chances and that includes True Love as well.

That’s an excellent point. Trying really hard to think of any cases where’s they’ve “ONE true love” and coming up blank. Probably very deliberate because if it was ONE true love, a few of our characters would be screwed.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Tink is presumably speaking out of ignorance when she says Regina ruined Robin Hood’s life. Robin Hood seems to have lived a full and rich life, despite the fact that Marian died. I think the old saying is true that it’s “better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” Also, RH loves his son, Roland, whom Tink must not know about since it’d be horrible to insinuate having a child is a mistake. And even though RH surely misses his wife, he still has his band of merry men to keep his spirits up and give him companionship.

What makes true love different from just love? Snowing are true love yet they’ve never met anyone else. RumBelle are true love yet Rumple loved both Milah (who loved him back at one point in time) and Cora (who loved him before she ripped out her heart) yet Cora wasn’t Rumple’s true love since her kiss couldn’t break his curse whereas Belle’s kiss started too.
When Graham kissed Emma, he started to get his memories back meaning Emma’s kiss “broke” his curse. Does that mean they were true love? Emma woke Henry from his sleeping curse which would make him her “true love”. Maybe there are different types of true love: true love for family, true love for friends, true love for romantic partners, etc.
All magic comes with a price!

Emma could kiss anyone and break their individual curse. That’s part of her magic as True Love Incarnate. Obviously she did have feelings for Graham but Emma herself IS True Love. Remember at Paley Fest that first year, they joked that they were gonna set Emma up in a kissing booth and have her just kiss the whole town to break the Curse?
The difference with Henry is that Henry is ultimately her true love. When she kissed him, having just lost him, it was powerful enough to break the Curse.

By that logic then, the CaptainSwanFire triangle is meaningless since neither man is Emma’s true love. That position is already filled by Henry.

I don’t think it’s meaningless! But the love a mother bears for a child is vastly different from the love she may bear for a romantic partner. If I could find the interview, JMo has said something similar: that Henry is her true love but this doesn’t discount CSF by any means. Emma is capable of all kinds of love! But we can’t put Hook or Nealfire under a sleeping Curse and then have her kiss them to see who would wake up–Emma would be able to wake both of them up.

I think a person can be in love with several different people in his/her lifetime. Rumple is a good example. Yet, what makes two people have true love is loving a person for who he/she is on the inside, flaws and all. Rumple is a great example of this notion. Even though Milha seemed like she was in love with Rumple before he went off to war, she came to loath him for deserting the war effort. She hated being married to a coward, so that was not true love on her part, because she couldn’t love her husband any longer, despite his flaws. With Cora, she was all sorts of twisted, since she loved him FOR his flaws of darkness. Yet, Cora never really loved the man Rumple underneath his dark exterior or saw the goodness in his heart. Only Belle, who has always seen there is good left in Rumple, loves him, in spite of his cowardice and darkness. She loves him no matter what while inspiring him to be the best version of himself, and Rumple loves her for it. That is what makes Rumbelle true love.

Robin might not be Roland’s biological father; the Sheriff of Nottingham claimed that Robin stole the woman he loved.
