Yep, I’m on Team NL = Pleasure Island. I do think that the kids in the foster home represent the kids that Pinocchio was with on Pleasure Island, and also that Phuket was his real world version of Pleasure Island, but he also had those things in the past, so the stuff in our world was sorta history repeating for him.
Definitely think it was someone from THO who put August on the case of breaking up SwanFire. Assuming Tink is able to realm jump, I reckon she’s the one who contacted him. He told Rumple that a fairy had given him the info. If he’d been in NL back in his puppet boy days, he’d recognise Tink, so it’d make sense for her to be the one tasked with meeting with him in our world, because then he’d have no doubt the the info and his orders were from a legit source.
[adrotate group="5"]I reckon maybe Jafar is outwardly in league with the RQ, but is actually planning to double cross her, by using Alice in some way.
I’d like to think Cyrus is Aladin’s Genie (but A&E gave him a name other than Genie), and Jafar hates being a genie since it’s more like being a prisoner. Someone wants some revenge, and I’m hoping we see how it all started in Agrabah (spelling?).
I was wondering the other day if perhaps Genies could be “brothers” in the same sense that Dwarves are? I think if Cyrus was gonna be Aladdin’s Genie, they’d at least dress him in blue if they’re not gonna make him actually blue. But I’m sure Aladdin, Jasmine, and their Genie will play into this story somehow. With Jafar around, the rest of them will have to be as well. You brought up something I hadn’t considered before…is this version of Jafar gonna be during his time as a Genie? Or has he got himself out of the lamp?
Tornados and Balloons (Oz!)
I’ve found it curious that the portals basically look like tornadoes. Makes me think that Dorothy’s “tornado” wasn’t really a tornado.
Triton’s Staff (Phee has an illustration of why that might be)
Here’s the link to the discussion about that, and the post with the screencaps from The Little Mermaid: https://oncepodcast.com/forums/topic/speculating-the-little-mermaid/page/6/#post-206744
This rule always suggested to me that Jefferson had to work with a partner, when planning to transport someone from their realm to another realm. In order to comply with the Hat’s rule, Jefferson would have to have an extra person with him who was willing to wait for their return, possibly being trapped there for life or until they could find alternate means of portaling back home. Did Jefferson not say he lost his wife because of the Hat?,…I wonder if this could be what he meant?
Yes, that’s what I think probably happened with Jefferson’s wife. He wouldn’t have needed a travel companion all the time, but on the odd occasion when he did, his wife would step in. And on one of those occasions, something went wrong.
Also, IMO Grace looks like a mini-me version of the actress playing the Red Queen in OUATinWL, so I’ve (currently) got her pegged as being Jefferson’s “lost” wife.
They could very well go the route of having merfolk hate humans due to their Queen’s death. In Disney, she was crushed to death by a pirate ship. Don’t think Anderson gave a reason for her death in the original. In a way back version of my headcanon, I had the JR being the ship that killed her.
It’s a major issue the fandom is trying to debate and resolve right now. 😆 I believe there’s gonna be an official poll on tumblr, once all suggestions have been submitted.
Think he’s probably a professional extra. Bet he’s been in every show that shoots in Vancouver at some point.
Jo, that flag is awesome! 🙂
Exactly. Hook isn’t going to give up his pirating blood, it’s who he is. Ariel has a love of adventure and is a free spirit, refusing to conform to the norms of her culture. They belong together.
*cuddles her rum*
Last night I was reading a fanfic, (it’s got Hookriel, but more friends with benefits as opposed to epic romance), and it had Hook and Rumple locked up next to each other in the cells at the Sheriff station, and Hook was having digs at Rumple for never having been able to give Milah what she really wanted. And by the end of the scene, I was totally feeling the Millian feels, which I’ve never really felt before, but the way this author had written Hook talking about her, I felt the love, and it made me think even more that Hook would be attracted to Ariel’s longing for exploration and adventure. Lemme see if I can find the fanfic again… *searching*
Hook took off his boots, rolled up his coat as an extra pillow and pulled up the blanket. He could just about see Rumpelstiltskin on the other bunk, and as soon as Emma’s steps could no longer be heard, he began to speak: “She dreamed of travelling, your wife.”
Though speaking of Milah hurt, it was also a relief, even with his current audience. No, especially, with his current audience. Perhaps he would never get his enemy to admit any wrongdoing, but by heavens, he’d have his say, force him to think of her as more than a straying spouse.
“I made those dreams come true. Took her to all the grand cities and desert islands she’d ever wanted to see. She was a great pirate. I had her trained with the Amazons in Themiscyra, bought her some weapons there too. I never knew a woman as full-blooded and passionate as Milah.”
“If by full-blooded you mean drunk and selfish,” Rumpelstiltskin said.
“She loved variation,” Hook said, raising his voice, desperate to make his words cut in the absence of other available weapons. “The old tried-and-true wasn’t her thing. I imagine it must have bored her to tears, all those years with the same routine, sitting around the house…” The lewd mockery in his voice came unbidden. “Or lying down, even.”
“Might just have been an itch,” Rumpelstiltskin said in an icy voice. “Something you gave to her, no doubt.”
Hook’s hand clenched into a fist, but he kept talking, summoning up the image of Milah with his words. “The one thing she wanted most of all was to find a desert island that nobody had been to before. Well, you can’t find those on a sea chart. I took her to some remote places, but it wasn’t until a couple of years in… Of course, I can’t be sure that nobody had been there ever, but it was empty enough when we got to it. Though there were animals, strange animals without even any names. I got her a tortoise. Well, Jukes found it, but I bought it off him and gave it to her. Looked perfectly ordinary, except it could shift its shell to form prophecies. We even managed to teach it our language. Nobody ever had a pet like it. Milah was thrilled. Named it Cassiopeia and doted upon it like anything.”
“Oh, did she?” Rumpelstiltskin muttered, sounding different, almost melancholy. “That she cared for. A reptile.”
“She must have drawn it dozens of times,” Hook said, hardly even listening to the words from the other cell now, so close was his love to him. “She claimed it was hard to get the facial expression right. I can’t say I ever saw that animal have a facial expression, but it was there to Milah. She had an eye for that sort of thing, she drew everything. Architecture. She loved drawing architecture; I used to take her ashore in cities just to watch her face when she saw all the different buildings.”
He swallowed hard and closed his eyes. The other cell was silent now, any noise drowned out by his own belaboured breaths. “She was so utterly alive. Always looking for an adventure, as if she were afraid it would slip between her fingers otherwise. Headstrong and outspoken and damned cruel at times, with walls around her that she fought tooth and nail to keep up. You had to take them down one brick at a time, gentle as anything, and still give her a challenge in all other ways. Oh, she was a difficult woman, but worth every second of it.”
He fell silent and opened his eyes, staring at the darkness, seeing her face.
“Oh, gods, love,” he whispered. “I miss you.”

By the time I was done reading that part, I was all, “OMG Ariel is SO his type! Hookriel FTW!!!!“If Ursula was gonna be her own, new character in 306, odds are they’d have released her casting call, along with Eric’s.
