Jennifer Morrison Tweets about UGLY DUCKLING

SO, Jennifer Morrison randomly began tweeting about ugly ducklings. I think this is finally a hint that we will see more of her back story.

So #theuglyducklings is meant to suggest beauty and love and fullness of life in the end. It’s all about the journey.

We have all suspected that she was the ugly duckling because of the name “Swan”, but maybe this sheds more light on SwanFire. What if in order to show the beauty of love and the fullness in which they complete each others life, they have to show the struggle? That’s why Tamara exists? ok, I’m reaching, but OUAT gave us SwanFire only to yank it away painfully like a bandaid by giving Neal a fiancee.

I was excited to read her tweets, and finally have her take on her own character’s backstory. Watching the show I can see how her character parallels the story of the Ugly Duckling. When she was a child she was “abandoned” (even though unknown to her it was for the good of her people), and grew up feeling thrown away, unwanted and unloved, like an outcast. She spends her adolescents on her own, struggling to find her home in the world, like the duckling. Along the way she experiences great loss, pain, and loneliness- interluded briefly by meeting Neil and experiencing true love- then true loss. When he abandons her (again, it was for the greater good of her people) she closes down again and vows not to love or trust. These losses shape Emma into who she is, and who she needs to be. Finally, her luck changes when she grows into adulthood (just like the story) and Henry finds her. She begins to build relationships and let her wall down while finding out that true magic lives inside of her. Early in season 2 episodes Emma feels that she is just fullfilling what Rumple set in motion- but after Cora tries to rip her heart out and can’t and she talks to Rumple about it, she realizes that there is something special about her. Like the story where the duckling grows into a beautful bird and rejoins it’s flock, so too has Emma grown into a beautiful woman full of strength and love. The journey is the story that we are all addicted to- so I can’t wait to see how they make it all unfold! Just my 2 cents on how that all ties in 😉

Did you watch the ugly ducklings video? The responses in the video from viewers that are fans of Emma made me cry.. so sweet!! https://t.co/oEpc0Zww8O

That was a good video, I forgot that Snow winked at Emma giving her some hope. 😀

That’s a neat video- it is amazing how caught up we can all get with fictional characters and the actors who bring them to life. I love that Jennifer Morrison gets involved with her fans as do many of the others- like Lana Parilla with the Evil Regals. It makes me wish I could be part of one of those groups…but I’m a fan of them all and couldn’t pick one!

Wow… I cried seeing the video. Tammythebear- thank you so much for sharing. I think OUaT is the best thing ever happened on TV in my life time. Not only it is a great tv show to watch for entertainment, but I have learned so much from the show and it instills a lot of hope. The story is very deep, and I am so proud of K&H, Jane and all the writters for creating such a tv series with lots of hearts. I actually parallel many things from OUaT to life and use that to talk to my child and often when I provide counseling.
… It is not always easy or convenient being good, and there will be time that one would debt him/herself when doing good seems only to hurt you– Snow had showed us that. To be good, you have to do it because you want to be good, not because to get people to like you or to get what you want– Regina learned and gave up trying very fast. We all have choices to choose in life and there are consequences in them– Cora realized she made the wrong choice when she got her heart back and have the love from Regina in front of her & she said “it would be enough. You would be enough.” Emma’s story is very inspiring story of the modern world “ugly ducking.” Snow, i hope, will soon show us that when we think that we made a huge mistake in our decision/action, we just have to get up, dust ourself off and keep going– there is always set back in life; life is not easy. I really hope that Emma/Bae/Henry will get their happy endings of a happy family. .. Each abandoned child deserves to see their wishes fulfilled. If you ask any abandoned child what they wish and hope for, the answer will be a loving home and family– Emma and Bae showed us that in Tallahassee; they do not even care about wealth or power— a small apartment for them will be enough. Well I can go on and on about the heart and wisdom underlying this show. For me, OUaT is an EPIC in itself for the best TV show in our time.
Again, Bravo to K&H and all the writers/casts/crews, and to all OUaT fans…
I think the video that Tammythebear shares with us is one of many testimonies for the EPIC of this show. Keep up a great work and thanks 😛
