Adam did tweet once that people’s shadows could be reattached. So it’s possible that Blue will be revived. Maybe Tink will be the one to do it?

Emma was in Storybrooke for about 6 days before Alexandra was born (I have pretty good evidence that she was born the 28th of October–Emma’s birthday is the 22nd). Emma was born a little early, so it’s possible that Cinderella actually got pregnant first–and Snow and Charming were at her wedding, as a couple. Though if Adam said otherwise, that’s fine, too.

However…The connection between Ariel and Skin Deep and Roland’s age means that I now think Charming and Snow met 4 (+28) years ago (from where we are right now, so about 3 years before the curse). I had put their meeting a bit closer to the curse before. But with 3 years to fill, it’s okay for them not to be pregnant before the public wedding, isn’t it?

She doesn’t have the streak in the scene of Skin Deep where she’s taunting Rumple about Belle’s “death.” I checked. It’s mostly up with a small, long ponytail down. No color. It’s all up (in a similar style) in Ariel.

Well, she and Rumple are both fashionistas. And if Ariel swam Snow several miles and then swam back again, there might be enough time for Regina to heal up, change, visit Rumple, taunt him a bit, and get back to get her revenge. But why would she change back into the same outfit she was wearing half an hour before?

Also, I dunno how long exactly Rumple and Regina stared awkwardly at the sand or threw barbs at each other, but they didn’t see any reason to wander off while waiting for Ariel to swim all the way to Storybrooke and back again (and her time there seemed to take an hour or three). So Mermaids can travel pretty fast. (I’m okay with the realm-traveling; they’ve already established water as a link–magic, the well, August’s speech about water’s properties.)

So despite issues, I’m going with between the mirror scene and the Ursula impersonation. Unless people have other evidence to consider. Also, backstory through 306 updated on the site timeline; still adding present day of 305 and 306.

However, her mood in Skin Deep is vindictive yet gloating…in between defeat and revenge she’s only like that when she thinks she’s got the upper hand. So it doesn’t make as much sense after Snow gets away as before she becomes Ursula.

Yeah, I know :/ It’s still entirely possible that it’s another mermaid, but this is the ONLY mermaid she’s been shown to have a history with, and we’ve all assumed since 112 that it was Ariel. It’s also possible that she’s looking for a way to protect herself from Ursula after the fact, but if it does mesh, it seems to mesh better doing it on her way to being Ursula. and yeah, it does seem like it’s night already :/

Bleh, okay, given the costume evidence and the shortness of the timeline in Ariel (Ariel only has legs for 12 hours)…I think that Regina must’ve gotten dressed up and gone to Rumple while Ariel and Snow were at the ball, and the daylight at the Dark Castle is closer to sunset then. With the headcanon that Regina had the idea of impersonating Ursula, but needed something that would convince Ariel to do what she wanted. Rumple didn’t help, but she came up with the bracelet idea on the way back.

Oh. Costume evidence: Regina is in a very similar outfit–all black–but the one from Ariel has a high collar and I think a more slender skirt; the one in Skin Deep doesn’t have a jacket or gloves, and is made of tapestried fabric. Also her jewelry is more gaudy in Skin Deep. She wears the same outfit when she’s hit by the fork and when she takes Ariel’s voice, so it seems strange to say she changed clothes to visit Rumple in between :/ Maybe she does go after seeing them in the mirror?

Oh….Phee…your signature! All the feels! It’s beautiful–did you do it?
