True Love Personified

[clockwatcher]

Hi, Oncers!

I was just reading all of the comments from the “Who Is The Puppet Master” thread, and thought: what if True Love is personified?
It seems unlikely, but it would explain… a lot.

We keep trying to figure out who wrote the book, but somehow, no one seems to fit in. For any of the characters to know everything that happened in the book, and then be able to spend the time to write it all (or most of it) down subjectively seems highly unlikely.

Now, some of us are contemplating the origin of magic, or at least who created and manipulated the entire situation we find the characters in now.
Well, what if the puppet master, the origin of magic, the author of the Story Book, was True Love? We are told repeatedly, in almost every episode, that True Love is the strongest of all magic, powerful enough to break any curse.

We know dwarfs and fairies aren’t supposed to feel True Love- but Dreamy and Nova did, because it’s just that strong.*

Practically the entire show (or what we’ve seen) revolves around the concept of True Love. So, True Love personified would really explain a lot in the show that we haven’t had answers to.

*Side note: Maybe the only reason fairies and dwarfs don’t feel love was simply because they weren’t allowed to. Maybe the Blue Fairy had a troubled love past or something, so she began telling all of the other Fairies and Dwarfs that they just weren’t capable of feeling love. And them believing her made the idea a reality.

it is an interesting conundrum you put yourself in.

True Love is God or God is True Love.

I actually think that the dwarfs are not capable of romantic love. It was only because Nova dropped that bit of fairy dust accidentally on Grumpy’s egg that he was able to love. And that was why he loved her.

Very interesting idea. Do you think that “True Love” is someone we’ve seen already and we just don’t know it or a completely new character?

I think it would be more dramatic for the show if, out of nowhere, True Love appears.

BUT… It could be someone we’ve seen. Maybe Emma is true Love. She wouldn’t then have a hand in setting everything up, but she’s the savior, and she IS the outcome of Snow and Charming’s true love. Maybe she’s more than just the savior- she’s the savior because Rumple set it up that up. But if she was also True Love… what other attributes, and power, could come with the title, if True Love is basically the unbeatable, all-powerful magic?

As far as attributes, maybe loving others. For power, I would think the sky would be the limit. She might even be able to do things that the Genie, Rumple, and Blue Fairy couldn’t such as cause people to fall in love and bring people back from the dead. I mean, how many times have we been told how powerful true love is?

So if a sprinkling of fairy dust on a dwarf egg makes that dwarf capable of love, and the dwarves are mining for fairy dust right then and there, why not sprinkle the dwarf eggs with it? Why shouldn’t the dwarves experience love as well?

(personally, I think they do – and that the Blue Fairy is manipulating them, maybe just to keep them working.)
