So this hiatus has driven us all nuts and we all have these theories and speculations running around in our heads. So what headcanon have you developed during this excruciating wait?
Here is mine:
- Rumple and PP are brother. In “The Little Bird”, Barrie wrote that PP had a younger brother and ran away because he thought he was replaced. I’m betting Rumple is that younger brother.
- Regal Hood. I really have a feeling that Marian is dead and Robin Hood is the guy for Regina. I think it’s going to happen in the second part of the season, but we will meet him this half.
- Eric and Ariel not together. I admit I’m a Hookriel shipper, but even apart from that I think it would be fascinating to have Eric married and living happily with someone else. It follows the original version of The Little Mermaid and is so twisted and interesting
- Henry has magic. It just makes sense for Henry to be magical considering this universe.
- Alice/Red Queen/Grace connection. Alice and the Red Queen are sisters and the Red Queen is Grace’s mother and Jefferson’s ex that he “lost” due to his work.
- Bae traveling to different realms. Bae left Neverland, went to Oz, met the Wizard and came to our world in the Wizard’s ballon. The Wizard was a con-man in our world before being swept away to Oz so I can see him teaching Nealfire the ropes on how to survive.
That’s all I can think of at the moment, but there is probably more rattling around in my head.

Most of mine is the same as Jo’s except for a few things
1. Tamar is the daughter of RH and Marian
Oh man have I been on this train for a long time. LONG time. I will actually dance a victory dance when it happens.
2. Rumple and PP are brothers and Rumple spent time in NL
I think Rumple did follow his older brother PP to NL for a short time but left when he thought PP was turning into a cruel monster. Also, Rumple’s mother died giving birth to Rumple and it turned Rumple’s father into a hard cold man. PP left FTL because of this, maybe with some fairy help, but became cold and bitter over having to take care of NL. Speaking of…
3. PP wants to rip Henry’s shadow out of him and use it to fuel NL’s magic
This is my big one. I think PP has been using shadows of his boys to sustain NL’s never aging magic. I think the Dark Curse ripped magic out of NL and PP has been preparing for this moment. Henry, being raised by evil but born of the Savior, and having the heart of the truest believer, is capable of saving NL by sacrificing his shadow but…
4. Rumple sacrifices his Dark One’s power to save Henry
Rumple will offer up his Shadow to PP in order to save Henry. This will almost kill him but Belle and Bae have arrived in NL just in time to TLK him back to life.
5. Rumbelle, Swanfire, Hookriel
6. Regina and…?
I honestly have no idea. I just don’t want her upsetting my ships.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Ohh, RG, I knew there were some things missing:
- Tamara is RH and Marian’s daughter. Yeah, I’m a supporter of that, too.
- Rumple undoing is losing his power. I think Rumple is going to lose his Dark One powers, too, and maybe is falling away, but then that is when we’re going to get our big True Love’s Kiss from Rumbelle. Mirrors the book where Belle saves the Beast from dying.
Keeper of Rumplestiltskin's and Neal's spears and war paint and crystal ball.
1. Peter Pan will be the boy the seer saw not Henry.
2. Tamara will tried to use the taser on PP and gets killed trying.
3. Rumble won’t lose his magic his undoing would be something that happened in the past that will make Rumble realize what he did to the others.
4. Owen will be killed either by PP or Regina trying to protect Henry.
5. Emma or Rumble finds the taser and uses it on PP.
6. Emma will be the one to reattach the shadow to PP.
7. I think that new guy Lian will be Regina’s new guy.
8. Bae will use the water from the lake with the crystal ball to guide him to Emma.
9. I think PP is jealous of Henry, he has two mothers and both of them care for him plus their family came after Henry PP. Perhaps PP is wanting a new family.
10. Tinkerbell well repay Hook back after he had taken her to get off the island, what was the saying TB well not let an injustice go and will leave Hook into a trap.
11. Regina will be Ursula
12. Rumbles mother left his dad like Rumbles left him. Rumbles mother might have meet Eric or someone else and like Rumble did killing his son mother, his father killed his mother.Rumple and PP are brother.
100% on board with this. Fits with Barrie’s story for PP to have a younger sibling, and ties the whole over arcing storyline of the Curse together quite nicely if it all comes to a conclusion with a sibling rivalry confrontation that started the whole process. K&H love a messed up family dynamic.
Regal Hood. I really have a feeling that Marian is dead and Robin Hood is the guy for Regina. I think it’s going to happen in the second part of the season, but we will meet him this half.
It’s weird for me to say this in relation to something involving Regina, who has never been my fave character…but I think I’ve reached the point where I will go down with this ship.
Also on board with Robin being Tamara’s father.
Eric and Ariel not together. I admit I’m a Hookriel shipper, but even apart from that I think it would be fascinating to have Eric married and living happily with someone else. It follows the original version of The Little Mermaid and is so twisted and interesting
I’m still not 100% convinced they’ll have him marry another woman, but I do think their story won’t have the Disney, happy ending. The original version ends so differently that I think it gives them a great opportunity to not just re-create the Disney ending in this particular case. I imagine Ariel and Eric being together in FTL, but then she went back to NL solo, which means something went really wrong, either he died, or he ended up with someone else and she just couldn’t bear to be near him any more.
While on the subject of TLM, this isn’t really a huge, overall plot affecting headcanon thing, but the other day I decided that PP has taken Ariel’s shadow and that’s how they’ll use the bit from Anderson’s about her feet being in agony with every step.
Henry has magic.
Yes! I think it’s gonna come into play somehow to help cause the “undoing”.
Alice/Red Queen/Grace connection. Alice and the Red Queen are sisters and the Red Queen is Grace’s mother and Jefferson’s ex that he “lost” due to his work.
Totally on board with RQ being Grace’s mother because I think they look identical. Only thing that keeps me from taking it further and having RQ and Alice as sisters is that if the other part of the theory proves true, then RQ is from FTL, but Alice is from FictionalLondon. Doesn’t rule out the possibility completely I guess, but I’m not convinced just yet.
Bae traveling to different realms. Bae left Neverland, went to Oz, met the Wizard and came to our world in the Wizard’s ballon.
I think PP just kicked Bae out of NL and into our world without a detour to Oz or anywhere else. But speaking of Oz, I think the Wizard and Dorothy are involved with running THO, (still clinging to my crack theory that she’s Tamara’s grandma). Once everyone is back in SB, the focus will shift to the continued threat from THO in the second half of the season, which will set up the Wizard as the next big bad to take us into new adventures and a new land in S4.
The piece of headcanon I have that won’t leave me alone is that Devin (the competitive Lost Boy) is Felix’s younger brother. Devin is going to do something which results in PP killing him or ripping his shadow which causes Felix to turn against PP. Felix has been doing PP bidding in order to keep Devin out of trouble.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixI like that POM.
So Felix’s feelings of anger could be exploited against PP. Excellent. (Doing my best impression of Montgomery Burns from Simpsons).
Here are my top dozen headcannons for the next season. It will be funny to see how wrong these all are!
1) Rumple uses Emma falling in to vanish on the group, perhaps even telling them he is not going to help because they’re slowing him down. He’s there to honor Bae, to get Henry, they are on their own.
2) Charming saves his little girl (yay!) This incident establishes a bonding moment for not just her and the Charmings, but also all the Jr5 as they all worked together to save Emma. Notice, Rumple is left out of this “team” feeling.
3) Neal and Mulan travel to the Dark Castle after he’s healed to see if there might be some magic to help them. Phillip and Aurora besides helping each other “rest” stay behind in a safe place where someone can assist with her burns, if she can try to get into the red-room to contact Charming/Snow/Henry.
4)Tinkerbell — Tink befriends Regina when they meet each other after both running away from what they are supposed to do (Regina marry the king, Tink all her FGM in training duties like Nova). They talk and become friends. Rumple doesn’t want Regina having a friend, so he tricks Tinkerbell and she ends up trapped in NL, where she meets Hook. Hook tricks her, steals her dust, and that’s how he leaves NL.
5)Hook– I’d really like it if he tried to rescue Bae in the past. The rescue doesn’t work, because his crew mutiny’s against him hoping to avoid PP. It is traditional I think in the PP story that the crew mutinies. I think Smee instigates it, but in true Hook–Smee fashion he kisses Hook’s boots enough when Hook meets him in SB later, plus being useful to steal stuff, that Hook doesn’t hold it against him. That’s also traditional I think, that Smee messes stuff up but Hook never really considers him disloyal. Smee was the one who put Milah’s picture where Bae could find it. He wanted Bae off his ship, because Smee was scared of PP, and Smee called the Lost Ones, so Hook was surprised when they showed up. The purpose of this is that Hook’s crew is trapped in NL and only Smee (who claims not to have been part of the mutiny even though he started it) and Hook escape back to FTL.
6) Hook’s crew are in NL so they can have some “good guys” on our JR5 team die, so that we can see that PP is a threat. Can’t be killing off the Jr5, but we need to see the danger is real to people helping our team, not just foot soldiers for the other side like GOAT.
7) Tink part 2: PP befriends her after Hook tricks her. This time, its her turn to trick Hook. See #6, that’s where we need cannon fodder. Because of her friendship with Regina, Tink has a change of heart about helping PP any more, maybe the two of them realized they were both tricked by Rumple, but together they save the Jr5.
8)Rumple’s doll is something to do with Bae, and Rumple visited NL before and Bae ran away, something PP told Rumple he would do. PP needles Rumple that no one loves him in a flashback, not his son, not his wife etc. Rumple gets angry but cannot touch PP. PP makes a deal with Rumple giving him the curse.
9)Ariel is a portal jumper with the trident. She and Eric were split up by Regina in the Ursula role. There will be a giant magic squid/Krakken, that makes the magic ink that Regina wants so she can adjust the curse to add a fail-safe. Ariel will help lead Neal back to the others.
10)The giant squid is very ancient. It toppled the ship that Hook’s brother Liam led, just after Liam betrays Hook in a way that leaves him stranded, but Hook ends up rescued by pirates.
11) PP’s magic works on belief, not emotion. That is why he can shut down magic with fake science about heavy metals, since he taps into GOAT’s belief that science is more powerful. It also means he can be a threat to our group, since Regina and Rumple’s magic works on negative emotions for the most part.
12) Hope is magic too, and by restoring that to everyone else, Snow, David’s and Henry’s faith that good will win, that love is strength, will help defeat PP even when Rumple and Regina’s magic fails.
(bonus 13th headcannon: somehow, someway, exactly what PP wants is leading to Oz. )
“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
Forgot about Tink!
Tink is the evil fairy who gave Snow White the dust. I think Regina asked Tinkerbell to do it, but Tink had her own agenda from PP and double crossed Regina. She gave the dust to Snow knowing full well that it would be used to save Charming and help them fall in love.
Ariel: I think all the events we know from the Little Mermaid happened in the past and Eric married someone else. Also, Regina is Ursula, even though it’s not my favorite idea.
Greg is killed by Regina; Tamara is killed by PP
Rumple kills Felix
The doll from the clip we’ve seen belongs to Rumple. He brought it with him when he went to NL as a boy because it was his happy thought. He left in NL because it no longer brought him joy. PP held on to it and actually gave it to Baelfire when he was there. PP is using it to taunt Rumple.
PP does not die in the end but once Rumple sacrifices his Dark One’s shadow for Henry, magic is restored to NL and PP and the Lost Ones can lives in peace again.
Dorothy is currently the head of THO and we’re going to Oz.
Over in WL: Alice will be crowned the White Queen by seasons end, after she defeats her sister the RQ
Jafar and Cyrus are mortal enemies and Jafar wants to kill Alice because she freed Cyrus
The Knave is Will Scarlett, an ex-Merry Man who was inprisioned by RQ for trying to steal from her (maybe QoH)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Regina/Tink headcanon…
Tink is Regina’s FGM, but she’s been shirking her duties, or perhaps Cora has even been preventing her. Tink used to be around more when Regina was a little girl, may even be the one who told her that true love is the most powerful magic, (Regina sure didn’t learn that from watching her parents), but she hasn’t been around in years. The scene we’ve seen the pic from is Regina hoping for a last ditch effort to get out of the wedding the day before. Tink says she can help Regina escape, and tells her to meet her somewhere later that day. Rumple then disposes of Tink to NL because he can’t have Regina having a FGM around to help her escape, and when Tink doesn’t show for their meeting, Regina feels betrayed and hopeless. Back at the castle that same day, she has the conversation with her father, (same dress as the pic with Tink), where he reveals the info about Rumple’s spell book.Some time after Regina goes all EQ, she manages to re-establish contact with Tink in NL, Tink tells her that Rumple sent her away, Regina figures that sounds about right, so the air is cleared between them and they remain in contact. This is how Regina knew all about Hook when he showed up at her castle. It’s also probably how Hook found out about Belle being at the castle, because Regina told Tink, “Gurl you’re gonna love what I just did to screw over Rumple-effing-stiltskin,” and Hook got the info out of her.
5)Hook– I’d really like it if he tried to rescue Bae in the past.
I too have it in my head that Hook will attempt to rescue Bae. But in the midst of the rescue, insert my previous point about Hook finding out from Tink about Rumple’s girlfriend. He’ll then decide to abandon the attempt to rescue Bae, and will steal fairy dust from Tink to enchant the JR and fly out of NL.
Smee was the one who put Milah’s picture where Bae could find it. He wanted Bae off his ship, because Smee was scared of PP, and Smee called the Lost Ones, so Hook was surprised when they showed up.
Ooooo, Sneaky Smee is sneaky, I like it.
There will be a giant magic squid/Krakken, that makes the magic ink that Regina wants so she can adjust the curse to add a fail-safe.
I like this too!
Ariel will help lead Neal back to the others.
When I was coming up with my little PP-ripped-Ariel’s-shadow theory the other day, I decided that she’s gonna be there to fish Neal out of the water when he comes through a portal. She knew him as Bae, and he’ll look at her all, “OMG Ariel,” and she’ll be all, “Ummm, who are you and how do you know me?” And he’ll be all, “It’s me, Bae,” and she’ll be stunned, and hug him, and I’ll have a new fave brotp called FireFish.
10)The giant squid is very ancient. It toppled the ship that Hook’s brother Liam led, just after Liam betrays Hook in a way that leaves him stranded, but Hook ends up rescued by pirates.
I like the idea of the kraken having attacked Liam’s ship. Wanna add that in present day, it’ll attack the JR and Hook will have a big hero moment when he kills it and saves everyone. It’ll be a revenge killing for the kraken having killed Liam back in the day.
The doll from the clip we’ve seen belongs to Rumple. He brought it with him when he went to NL as a boy because it was his happy thought. He left in NL because it no longer brought him joy.
This!! Also, the doll was made by Rumple and PP’s father.
- Neal ended up in fairytale land so he can finally see what his father went through to find him.
- Granny will be sheriff in Storybrooke, Grumpy’s her deputy
- Hook will find out somehow about Emma’s heart (that it can’t be ripped from her body)
- Belle will learn more magic after casting the protection spell and find a way to reunite with Rumpelstiltskin in Neverland
