The connection between true loves/soul mates

True Love = The Force. Even if there’s an explanation involving midichlorians, the story works better without it.

In season one it was observed in 1×21 and later corroborated by Adam Horowitz that Snow and David share a psychic connection based on their status as soul mates.

I think that A and E have something very specific in mind when they talk about true love. If I had to guess I would say that it has to do with a love that is more unconditional than anything since we have True Love’s kisses between couples that have broken curses but then we also have Emma’s kiss with Henry that broke his sleeping curse (and the curse in general). I don’t think Regina could have kissed Henry and broken his sleeping curse even though I believe she does truly love him because I don’t think her love for him is unconditional – she NEEDS him for a specific reason, she needs to feel loved and wanted so she wanted a child to love and to love her back.

I think that of the characters that have been considered to have found true love – none of them were looking for it, it wasn’t something that was arranged or discussed for them, and there isn’t anything that they can GET out of it – in fact, it often doesn’t make any sense at all on the surface. And there typically seems to be people telling them why they SHOULDN’T be together – those reasons may or may not be valid or make sense from a logical point of view.

I think the problem is that we can ask these questions about the various kinds of love and the answer is that we are probably going to SEE all kinds of love explored in the show (and so far we have seen many)but ultimately “true love” might not be totally defined until the end of the show when we see Emma completely developed as a character.

The thing I always have to remind myself of with this show since I tend to get so emotionally attached to the characters is that, just like in real life, people can “love” someone for a season and then, unfortunately decide that they no longer serve a purpose in their life or people can chose to leave people behind and move on. Or sometimes people THINK they love someone when that person serves a specific need in their life and they don’t realize until later that love wasn’t really what they were feeling. And I do think it is possible to love more than one person during your lifetime, spouses can die and later people find another person to love. All of these same things can happen on the show. But ultimately I think that A and E have something different in mind than love as it occurs in normal every day when they talk about true love – it is a show about fairy tales after all.
