I’ve never thought of fairies as being asexual. In this show, they’re equated with nuns. Nuns are required to be celibate as part of their duty, but that doesn’t mean that they’re asexual and incapable of falling in love and having a relationship, (case in point: Nova). IRL, a nun can leave the order and have a relationship if she wants, but that doesn’t mean she stops practicing her religion. So I think it’s entirely possible that Tink could regain her magic, and still have a relationship in the future as well.
Tink was also never a nun so she might not feel the same compulsion to stay out of a relationship like Blue or Nova. In GMSB, Nova turns down Grumpy because she’s still a nun and a fairy. Tink, right now, is neither. And while I do believe she’ll get her wings back, she’s still a rebel fairy. That is what has defined her on our show. She doesn’t listen to the rules Blue set in place.

HookedFairy flirting over rum. Nice touch.
Colin and Rose have such great on screen chemistry, their flashback scene was smokin’. Still dunno if I’m convinced that this ship could sail, but what I do know for sure is it’d be a shame if that chemistry went to waste.

So Rose sent a tweet that said she’s been for a costume fitting in Vancouver, and I was speculating over in the Who’s Filming thread that if they all get sent back to SB and assume their old SB roles, then Tink should be a nun now. Then I wondered if Tink had to dress like a nun, might she be like the schoolgirl who doesn’t like wearing the uniform, so she shortens the hem and undoes some buttons and that’s why Rose described the costume fitting as “fun”. I could see Tink being a bit rebellious over the nun stuff, because we’ve seen her break rules before (stealing pixie dust) and we know she’s been very independent for some time now since losing her wings. She probably wouldn’t like having to conform to the constraints of being a nun. Then I got thinking how if she was portraying that strong willed, rebellious streak, that’s probably something that Hook would find attractive. Then I got thinking how originally they were gonna make MM a nun, and how I’ve always figured that if they’d gone with that, they wouldn’t have kept her a nun. Not sure if they changed the nun thing before they changed the Charming not dying after all thing, but knowing what we do about this show being about second chances at love, I doubt they’d have kept a character like Snow, the central romantic figure in the story that we saw as the grand opening of the first ep of the show, as a single nun for the whole run of the show, even if Charming has stayed dead like originally intended. Anyway, thinking about that led me to wonder if maybe they could have filed away that “nun leaving the order” storyline, and maybe they’d bring it back by doing it with Tink instead?
It’s all purely speculative of course, it’s just once I got to thinking about it, one thing led to another and another and then I had to get it out of my system.
