It’s not going to be some symbolic one, is it? Like “Emma has to battle to finally overcome her abandonment issues!” or something like that. You could argue that Black Fairy is the embodiment of abandonment by separating children from their parents.

Keeper of FelixThe new hairstyle looks good on JMo.
I had a thought the other day on how they could potentially have a season 7 without some of the cast and would make sense why Henry wouldn’t appear despite Emma and Regina supposedly being in it.
Basically they kill Emma, Hook and Regina and season 7 takes place in the underworld, only it’s got rid of the orange filter so it looks just like normal Storybrooke. That would explain why we’ve only got some of the regulars and new cast.
If that was the case (though I doubt it), I hope we see more of Cruella and Mordred. Those two had instant chemistry.

Keeper of FelixEmma is starting to make a habit out of smooching her boyfriend over the casualties of her obsession to be with him. First at Robin’s grave, now whilst Snowing lay in a coma nearby. Does Emma have no respect?

Keeper of FelixHenry- My mother left me for a pirate and forgot I exist.
My mother used to care for me
She broke the curse with true love’s kiss!
But then the pirate came along
And now it’s like I don’t exist!My mother forgot that I am there
She’s off with the pirate who knows where
Though her affection I do miss
I don’t want to watch her and the pirate kiss!Oh my mother left me for a pirate
She forgot that I exist
But if there’s one lesson that I’ve learned from her
It’s that problems are solved by using my fist.Belle- Why don’t I get any screen time?
I just stand in the background silently
Just hoping the camera will focus on me
With any luck I can act out a mime
’cause god only knows I don’t get screen time!Hook- I’m engaged to a control freak, what have I done?
I asked Emma to marry me
I’m now regretting it dramatically
She is there wherever I go
She’s like a psycho version of her mother Snow.“I will always find you” is what she said
As she whispered in my ear when we went to bed
I know it’s true cause in my head
I remember she found me when I was dead.I left the room one day to pee
I looked and guess who was stood by me
I only wanted some privacy
But Emma won’t even give that to me.I asked her to marry me, I thought it’d be fun
I’m engaged to a control freak, what have I done?
I wonder if I can get out of town
Before Emma realises and tracks me down.Zelena- Why am I here again?
Why am I here again?
I’ve become redundant like Rumple’s cane
Is there no juicy plotline for me?
I’ve not been relevant since season 3!Snowing- Thank god for Regina because our daughter doesn’t care!
Regina saved us! Emma doesn’t care!
Neal could’ve ended up anywhere!
Our affection for our daughter runs quite deep
But Emma would’ve left us in eternal sleep.Thank god for Regina because our daughter doesn’t care!
Her brother could’ve ended up anywhere!
Though it doesn’t look like we want him really
We assure you that we love him dearly!Regina- Why aren’t I the saviour when I do all the saving?
I’m only the mayor of Storybrooke town
Yet I seem to stop all the bad things going down.
The only saving I want to do
Is of money to open a little town zoo.I saved Snow and Charming from their sleeping curse
Without me, the outcome would’ve been worse
If Emma won’t get her backside in gear
The answer to everything is pretty clear.Make me the saviour, I’ll get the job done
I’ll save more people to Emma’s none.
All she’s interested in is being with Hook
I’ve started to notice his panicked look.Rumple- I’m treated as the bad guy for trying to help my son escape the clutches of his psychotic grandmother.
My son needs help to escape the clutches of my mother
He’s suffered enough of his psychotic grandmother
I’m called the bad guy for helping him
Sometimes the “heroes” are really dim.I will save my son, even if it kills me,
Him and Belle are the ones I love dearly
Defeat the black fairy? I know I can
I was the one who defeated Pan.So call me a bad guy for helping my son
I’ll do what it takes to get the job done
Once he’s escaped the clutches of my mother
I’ll lay waste to that psychotic grandmother.Emma- I don’t give a damn about anyone except my pirate.
Hook, Hook, Hook
I have no doubt
Hook, Hook, Hook
Is all I care about.My mother, my father, my brother and son
They mean nothing when the day is done
Regina, Zelena, Rumple and Belle
As far as I’m concerned they can burn in hell.My pirate is the only one I give a damn about
Of that I’m sure and I have no doubt
I love Hook and Hook loves me
I no longer care about my family.All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixBut what you’re saying is that a strong female is someone who turns a bad guy into a good guy which is in effect turning that strong female into just an object or vessel for a man’s redemption. That is not the definition of a strong female and it’s a very specific kind of misogyny.
But would you say that if Emma was Emmett. And he turned around a girl who was a druggie in her past? Emma was already a strong female character before she met Hook. So I don’t believe you can just say that OUAT’s message is that a strong female character is someone who turns bad men into good men. In this case, Emma was Hook’s vessel, sure. She was what he needed to turn his life around. But why is that a bad thing? I’d feel the same way if the genders were reversed. So again, I’m not saying that a strong female IS someone who turns a bad guy into a good guy. I’m saying that Emma WAS ALREADY a strong female character, and her strength has helped many people, but specifically Hook.
By your logic, a woman can never turn a man’s life around without making them look like an object just to get the man to where he needs to be in life. But if that’s your view, then you have to be equally annoyed if Emma was a man and Hook was a girl. Feminism is about equality right? So it works both ways. And I’m sorry, but regardless of gender, if someone is able to become a better person and be the person they always should have been bc someone else helped them turn it around, that is a great message and that is a message that springs hope in people who made me in a bad point in their life. To muck that message up with female gender dynamics just seems forced to me. Again, just my opinion.
However, that point of view only plays into the “I can change him with my love” trope which in real life is a very dangerous game to play.

Keeper of FelixHuh? So you’re not supposed to miss your significant other when they are away? And you aren’t supposed to be happy when you see them? What on earth are you smoking? I get that Emma seems to prioritize Hook over everybody else now, but the statement you just said makes absolutely zero sense. She doesn’t depend on Hook for her happiness. But he certainly helps with it. And when he’s missing, that’s a part of her happiness missing.
There’s a difference between missing your partner when they are away and throwing everyone else under the bus because you can’t bear to be without your partner.

Keeper of FelixI don’t like Zelena’s Storybrooke outfit. The green is just the wrong shade and there is no shape to her top half.
Does anyone else think Black Fairy might actually have some genuine twisted affection for Gideon?

Keeper of FelixPerhaps OUAT will copy Buffy and have the characters forced to sing their true feelings. Song titles for each character could include:
Henry- My mother left me for a pirate and forgot I exist.
Belle- Why don’t I get any screen time?
Hook- I’m engaged to a control freak, what have I done?
Zelena- Why am I here again?
Snowing- Thank god for Regina because our daughter doesn’t care!
Regina- Why aren’t I the saviour when I do all the saving?
Rumple- I’m treated as the bad guy for trying to help my son escape the clutches of his psychotic grandmother.
Emma- I don’t give a damn about anyone except my pirate.

Keeper of FelixEmma is not the same person as she once was. But she has never doubted her love for Hook, and she is very happy whenever she is around him (for the most part) and she’s miserable when he is away in the UW or off in Neverland (of course it would be nice to see them or any other characters just relaxing and watching netflix once in awhile).
So Emma’s miserable when Hook is out of her sight and happy when she can see him? That is not an encouraging sign.
1. That’s like saying Emma can never be happy without Hook there. Does she feel sad when he goes to the bathroom because he’s left her side, or does she accompany him to the bathroom because the only way for her to be happy is with Hook physically present?
2. That’s also quite controlling behaviour on Emma’s part because she can’t give Hook his own space. Emma has had major issues with control since the Dark Swan arc.
3. This is how I imagine CS will progress.
Emma, please, don’t do this.
Now you’ll never leave me.All magic comes with a price!
