I’m curious… do they say that Belle’s father was in the military? We see him discussing estrategies, but he was a king, ruling the army movements during a war comes with the job. Apart from that I wouldn’t expect, from what it’s shown, that he were more engaged in that… did I miss something? -it can be 😳 –
Sorry I meant to reply earlier. Jane Espenson tweeted that Maurice got his land and title through fighting under someone of power. I can’t find the tweet now though unfortunately.
I didn’t think Maurice was a king. It sounds like he was an earl making Belle an earl’s daughter. If that is the case, then who’s kingdom were they under? So far, there is George/Charming and Snow’s kingdom, Regina’s/Leopold’s kingdom and Cinderella’s kingdom.

I think it’d be fine for Henry to learn some magic, because he’s got a good heart and would only use it for doing good. Unlike his mother, whose motivation to learn magic was desperation, hate and a desire for revenge.
That’s a good point – Henry seems a lot more incorruptible that Regina. He’s a child with a very strong moral side, and he doesn’t have the bitterness and pain that Regina had when she started magic. I can’t actually see him getting addicted to magic or the power it would give him.
Children can be petty though. Even Henry with his strong moral side may fall prey to that. Children know the difference between right and wrong so Henry isn’t going to go out and turn people into snails like Rumple did but, for example, say another child was really mean to Henry at school, Henry could use his magic to make that child’s trousers fall down or make the drinking fountain spray so that it looks like the child has wet themselves. One small slip in using magic for the wrong reasons could send Henry down the slippery slope.
Rumple is the biggest magic addict of them all. Rumple has displayed some addict like behaviour such as getting others involved in the addiction (Cora and Regina), putting the addiction above loved ones (choosing power over Bae), and trying to hide the addiction from those around them (Rumple tried to hide his magic usage from Belle and even then he tried to tell her it was nothing to worry about). Admitting there is a problem is the first step to recovery for many addicts. Rumple has admitted why he needs magic and how he relies on it. Is he justifying his addiction at this point? He may be thinking “I’m using magic to help me find Bae” but what happens when he finds Bae? Can he give up magic for those he loves? Belle isn’t going to stop Rumple from trying to find his son so will Rumple end up drawing her into his magic addiction? Will they develop a co-dependency on each other?
Perhaps Archie should set up a magic anonymous support group.

Keeper of FelixWhen Belle was giving her little speech to Red, did anyone else get the feeling she was thinking of Rumple?
Her comment about not caring about the past makes me think that she is going to stand by Rumple when Hook comes to town and reveals what Rumple did to Milah.

Yes ! and it probably isn’t someone who’s story, in the book, is depicted in a bad way or at all. It would make sence if it was Blue fairy writing the stories and showing herself in a good light.
If so… there are things that can be manipulated!!! Like the reasons behind Blue Fairy decision to make Dreamy and Nova break up, to turn Pinoccio into a real boy, to help Bealfire… so many things… OMG! I’ve never truts fairies too much, but seeing it under this new light, lots of things make more sense.
Whilst I do not think Baelfire is mentioned in the book, you could just imagine how Blue Fairy would write that part. Something along the lines of:The kindly Blue Fairy gave the boy a magic bean to help him escape the evil that his father had become.
I would really like to see Henry meet Belle for the first time and realise that Rumple is the beast. Perhaps he could try and assist in bringing them back together.

[On a even more different note.. OOOH. I JUST HAD A REALLY SCARY THOUGHT.
This could be terrible…but what if…
What if now that there is magic in storybrooke, say the dagger does work. Say hook comes back and gets a hold of it, and finds belle out or whatever. What if he orders Rumpel to kill her? Rip out her heart?
:O
That would be so sad…but pretty awesome.
I don’t think Rumple would harm Belle even if he was being controlled. Isn’t true love supposed to be the most powerful magic of all or something? If so, I can see Rumple’s love for Belle triumphing over the control of the dagger.
