Something else, K&H have spoken about adding a gay/lesbian couple to the show. They said in an interview that they really want to do it. Given that Mulan’s story has a theme of gender identity (dressing up like a boy) i’m wondering if Mulan could be part of a lesbian relationship. Probably not, since they’ve given her a romantic tie with Prince Phillip, but who knows… At times i’ve wondered if it’s Philip or Aurora that Mulan has feelings for. Could she possibly have been helping Prince Philip because she too has feeling for Aurora? Probably not, but who knows.
Really? I haven’t read anything about that, but I would totally ‘ship Mulara if it ever happened. Was this in an interview they gave?

Hmm, actually I think I probably relate to Snow in those respects too.
[adrotate group="5"]April 26, 2013 at 7:34 pm #188976thelonebamfParticipantIt took me a while to think of an answer that was apt, but I think I’ve finally got one.
At first, I didn’t really find myself identifying strongly with any of the characters- definitely none of the major ones. There were of course elements in different characters that I could see in myself, but I think that any sufficiently developed cast should be full of people that resonate with a viewer on some level. But I’m not as heroic as Snow, not as damaged as Emma, nor am I as completely optimistic as Belle or as gutsy as Ruby. Then I realized I was looking in all the wrong places. ^_^;;
Turns out, if I’m like anyone in Storybrooke, I’m probably like Archie. I don’t think I ever made a conscious effort towards that- but I am definitely the “rock steady” member of pretty much all of my social circles (work/friends/clubs etc). I’m the one that people (even those I’m not particularly close to) end up coming to to talk about their problems, even if all they want is someone to listen- and not actually give advice. And, to be honest, I don’t give out a lot of advice. I’m one of those people that tries really hard to see all sides of an issue, even the ones I don’t agree with at first glance. I’ve often remarked that I’m “bad at having opinions”, but I’m the person to come to if you want something explained from every angle so you can make your own decision. (In the “five man band’ trope, I’m usually the lancer or backup to the hero.)
So yeah… chirp chirp!

May 28, 2013 at 1:14 pm #196401smallwhitebutterflyParticipantI’d say I think I relate to Aurora the most. She is often underestimated (like when Emma says “don’t take this the wrong way but how the heck did you get here?”) because she a has gentle nature, as do I. Also, I can doubt myself, so when they were going to leave Hook for the Ogres, I noticed when she said “but what if he’s telling the truth”, and that is definitely me. I’m quite trusting of other people and would rarely be 100% sure that I was being lied to. In that situation I would have chosen not to risk the chance that I was leaving someone there who was telling the truth.
I also Identify with Snow, because she puts great pressure on herself to always do the ‘right’ thing, and feels very upset with herself whenever she makes a mistake, which I tend to do too.

May 28, 2013 at 8:37 pm #196435jessieparadoxes of peopleParticipant(( a lesbian couple on Once?really?….. 😐 ))I relate to Belle in the sense that I LOVE to read,and I love adventure!!I can relate to Emma because I was given up for adoption without really knowing why.I’m not the most open person.I relate to Henry because I have the ability to fling rules out the window without a bat of n eyelash,and I love trouble and mystery and am pretty restless at times.And I love cinnamon rolls!!!!!! 😆 . 😕 I am kind of like Jimminy in the sense that I know the difference between right and wrong and will always stick up for the right(even when I myself can hardly do the right).I’m like Rumple most of all because it’s especially hard for me to “be good”, if you will and make the right choices,I have a bit of a temper,and it’s also hard for me to belive I can have another chance with someone I’ve hurt.I can be kind of skeptical of people at times,and I absolutely trust a very few,select people.But I do really want to do the right thing…..but can end up doing the wrong thing in the process
I think I’m least like Snow…I’m not all that optimistic nor am I very wise,or forgiving

May 28, 2013 at 10:32 pm #196443JosephineParticipantI’m most like the Evil Queen. 😈 😆 Come on, someone had to say it. 😎
Seriously, I don’t know who I’m like. When I take those personality quizzes I’m usually like Henry or Belle. I love to read and think that being given a library, twice, would be better than any diamond ring in the world. But I’m not very adventuresome and would rather curl up with a good adventure story than actually be in one. I also can see shades of Rumple in me. Maybe that’s why I love him so much. Rumple, for all his faults, has so many layers. I don’t go around moving realms around and manipulating and killing people, but I can be very unforgiving and also on occasions very insecure.
Now my sister, she’d definitely be Maleficent, but don’t tell her I said that. 😕

May 29, 2013 at 2:08 am #196450Rumple LoveParticipantI can relate to Belle a lot. Long before this show I related a lot to her. I love books and would rather read then go out. In high school I never went out. Always in my room reading whatever I could get my hands on. I love adventure and try to see the good in people, although some days are definitely harder than others.
But as far as this show goes, I also really relate to Emma. I was abandoned with my biological sister when I was around the age of two and my sister was less than a year old. I have many attachment issues despite being adopted into a wonderful family after being found. I always described myself as being in a tall brick wall. No one was ever let in and I never let myself out. Although I tried to see the good in people I never trusted them. You just never know when someone else is just going to up and leave you. When Emma is feeling pain I am also feeling it. I know what it is like to there. Unlike her though I have never had any desire to find my biological mother.
But today I am a well adjusted (well, sort of anyhow), 37 year old (as of this coming Sunday) married and have begun to trust others.
My guard will forever be up and I will forever wait for someone to leave my life. My attachment issues will forever be a part of me, but I am learning to live with it.
Thanks for a good post idea. I like hearing other people’s stories. 😀
May 29, 2013 at 1:03 pm #196474neilfromkentuckyParticipantI feel like I’m really similar tot he character of Anton. For one I’m a big fella like him. I’m also a big softy, I’m very non confrontational, but I will also get angry and aggressive if you mess with my family.
May 29, 2013 at 3:23 pm #196487winlea78ParticipantFor me, it would be Baelfire. I can relate to the betral and abandonment by parents and also having to survive and figure things out on ones own. I also thinks he deals with feelings of rejection and worthlessness and that deep down no one will ever really love him because his own parents didn’t. I can see him being the type of person who’s always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Out of all the characters presented on the show, he’s the one I can relate to most. As I suspect others can as well.
June 5, 2013 at 8:18 pm #197345WickedRegalParticipantI relate mostly to Hook or Regina, I can’t say who the most, but I am. I have Hook’s swagger and laid back personality, but Regina’s confidence, and vindictiveness . I can hold a very long grudge, and will stop at nothing to achieve my means, and point across. So yeah, I’m more like Hook and Regina. Plus I always had a villain type of heart.
