Personal Curses

[faux pax]

I don’t know if this was done before, but i just wanted to know what you think everyone else’s punishments were. I mean Snow and Prince Charming weren’t able to be together, Marco never knew he had a son, but what about any other characters…even ones we probably won’t see on the show.

Buzz and Woody (Toy Story)– I think there punishment would be to be on the sex offenders registry for a false accusation. I mean what would be worse for toys then to not be allowed any where near children.

Perda (101 dalmatians)– I think hers would be to be fixed and live on the opposite side of town from Pongo. I have a headcanon that sometime in the future those two adopt all the puppies from the shelter and Archie doesn’t have the heart to complain.

Ariel (little mermaid)– mute AND paraplegic. She has legs but can’t use them and can’t sing either… My headcanon was that the curse made it so that she was a dancer before some accident took her legs so she can remember having them.

Arthur (King Arthur)– I think his would be to be horribly disfigured in some way so that when people look at him mostly they only have pity and not respect…and it doesn’t help with the ladies either.

You guys have any others?

You think that Queen Regina sent everyone Storybook for each of their punishment?

I do not really follow that. IMO Regina was only trying to punish Snow White, and Charming.

The rest seem to be collateral damage. Seeing that some of “FairyTale Land” was not sent to Storybook. As we saw with Sleeping Beauty.

Now you maybe right, but I haven’t see others being treated like she does to Snow. Regina hates a lot of people, but only holds the grudge to snow.

In the pilot Regina said:

But you shall have it! My gift to you is this happy, happy day, but tomorrow my real work begins. You’ve made your vows, now I make mine: soon everything you love, everything all of you love, will be taken from you forever. Out of your suffering will rise my victory. I shall destroy your happiness if it is the last thing I do.

She does say everything all of you love, so though the main point was to destroy Snow’s happiness, she had others that she blamed too. For example Ruby and Granny had lost their good relationship (I think the writers mentioned this in one of the podcasts)

I think Regina’s goal was to be the happiest person in Storybrooke by taking away everyone else’s happy endings. It did not quite work out that way. I don’t think she was happy. Plus, some people who were not happy before, well they were not made even more miserable.

Ruby and Whale kind of allude to that unintended consequence in their conversation at the dock. Archie was more or less what he was before. He lost his cricketness, but now was friends with Marco without the guilt of having turned Gepetto’s parents to Puppets. Gus was now human (and until George got him) did not seem particularly miserable. Maybe he was cursed to be lactose intolerant and have pet cats, but we are not shown the obvious downside for him. Same with Johannna (until Cora got her)–looked like she had a fancy house behind her so maybe her curse was to have servants rather than be one? Then there is Dr. Whale. He was no longer tragically mourning his brother. Ruby lost her loving relationship with Granny, but she was no longer a feared werewolf.

George/Spencer and Sydney/Genie were kind of allies to Regina, and were not happy before in FTL. They did not seem to have an ironic fate in store for them either in pre-Emma Storybrooke.

The people who did not go to Storybrooke were saved because they happened to be in Cora’s anti-curse bubble. Regina would have taken them too otherwise.

Anyway it is kind of funny to think what the writers might have chosen for other characters.

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
