Haha. 😆 Hook as Belle’s stepfather is almost worth it to ship both Captain Fairy AND Tinker-momma. Rumple’s mother-in-law a fairy and stepfather-in-law Hook. That is wicked crack.

No, it was Lady Bell. I rewatched with captions on.

Tinker Bell: Well…look who the Queen dragged in. Hello, Hook.

Hook: Lady Bell.

I’m conflicted. Something of some sort happened between them. Just what and of what nature we have no idea yet. Part of me is rebelling on shipping them. I’m still clinging to the side of the Hookriel ship. I even made a flag. But I could see the potential here.

Of course, there’s always Tinker-momma in the background and Mo might still be her true love 😛 👿

He spins to forget
Yet a chipped cup reminds him
Of love pushed away

My haiku:

Rumple in the wild
War paint covering his face
With his son again

Someone can steal my idea if they want. I’m not dressing up so they’re free to take. I said it in chat:

Version 1
If you want to be a creative Snow, go for a black and white movie version. Make your costume all in black/white/gray and paint your face in gray paint and take a picture outside so the color can contrast your monochromatic costume and makeup. It could be like you’re stepping out of an old black and white movie.

Version 2
My second idea is to go as Dead Snow. Make your Snow costume zombie-fied and coming back from the undead.

I think most people are going to go for copying either Once’s Snow costumes or the Disney version. You need a twist, though, to get noticed.

Can I, in some sort of pseudo official capacity make this the official motto of this site? (over all I agree though)

Hahaha.  It does seem that’s the way of things around here.  😛

Here’s how I think it’s going to go down….which means it won’t happen at all this way.

Robin Hood is going to interact with the cast at some point this season for two more episodes in this half of the season. So I predict he’ll return in Episodes 10 and 11. I don’t know if they go through the Enchanted Forest or he comes to Storybrooke, but whatever reason, they meet up. Regina by accident sees the infamous tattoo that she hasn’t thought about in ages until Tinker Bell comes back into her life. However, just like the first time, she isn’t ready to take that leap of faith into loving once again. Her chance has passed. I imagine (or hope as a sign of character development) her seeing Robin Hood and Roland and flashing back to what she did to Hansel, Gretel and their father and Kurt and Owen. She might feel he’s better off without her. He’s found his own happy ending in a different way and she has no part in it. She did show Tinker Bell her black heart.

But then I can imagine them being drawn together once they meet. It will be interesting to see how Robin reacts to Regina knowing her as the Evil Queen. He’s, as others have mentioned, a bit saucy (what a great word) so he might not be as put off as others. He might see it as a challenge. Whatever happens, it will be interesting…and this is coming from someone who isn’t Regina’s biggest fan by a long shot.

I wonder how he’ll react is, or more like when, he finds out about Regina and the tattooed prediction and her walking away. I think he’ll be totally fine with it. Things happen for a reason and unlike Tink’s prediction, she didn’t ruin his life. He had love and a little boy. Fate works in mysterious ways.

Something is wrong with me because Tinker-momma is creeping up on me. It’s total crack and never going to happen, but there is just something there. Phee alerted me to this post:  http://amuseoffyre.tumblr.com/post/64027889408/you-need-love-its-the-most-wonderful-and

 

Okay, total going off the rails. If I’m going to defend this I might as well go full out. I read a spoiler last night (don’t know if it’s true or not) that Maurice was a merchant before he was knighted for something. So maybe as a younger man he was a bit more attractive (Henry Sr. shrunk and got bald, maybe Mo got hefty) and met a certain fairy. Being a bit rogue, she fell in love with this merchant and ran off with him and had a daughter. Somehow the evil Blue Fairy lured her back in and made her abandon her family. Skip ahead 20 some years. Tink is still trying to repent for her errant ways and sees a way to salvation in helping Regina. After Regina fails to find her new love, Tink is bitter because she’s throwing away this chance when she didn’t get the chance of her own. Wasted opportunities. So when she goes back to the Blue Fairy and Blue tells her it was her second chance, maybe she’s referring to her original sin of abandoning her calling for a mortal man. Muahahaha.

I really don’t believe any of this *she tries to tell herself*. Really, I don’t. But it’s nice to postulate.

Well, he’d been through that same scenario before so he knew what to expect, so in that respect I can see why he thought it was a foolproof plan. But it wasn’t his child to use as bait. So part of the blame if something went wrong rests on the shoulders of Robin Hood because he agreed to the plan.

I can see Neal-haters using this as fuel against him. I know that and there is really nothing I can do to change their opinion on the matter. If you hate Neal, you’re going to twist everything he does to fit your viewpoint.

But he’s also a father worried about his son. He’s going to go to extreme lengths to get to him. Much like his papa. So while I don’t exactly agree with his methods, I do understand them.

I prefer Regal Hood to Regal Arrow.

Since Regina was a young bride I would say that it was before he met Marian. Or he could have been courting her at that time. We don’t really know how long he was with her. But it was definitely years before Roland was conceived and born.

As for how their lives would have been if she walked through that door, I would say we’ll never know. It wasn’t the right time or place. Everything happens for a reason and there was a reason why Regina couldn’t walk through that door. Would they really have a had a happy life? He’s an outlaw and she’s married to the King. Doesn’t sound so romantic in those terms. But now both of them are unencumbered so I think there is a chance to make a go of it.

Since we know Robin is coming back for two more episodes and greater role in the second half of the season I think they’ll definitely meet. I imagine Regina will be gobsmacked as she incidentally sees the lion tattoo on his arm. She wasn’t ready then, but will she be ready now? She’s concentrated on Henry so I think she might be intrigued but leery. And Robin has no idea about any of this. I wonder how he’ll react to Regina.

It will be an interesting courtship.
