Right? Unpublished piece? AU? Fanfiction? 😀 First draft?

Isaac said page 23 was something he’d actually been working on. So Isaac must’ve been wanting to give villains like Regina her happy ending for quite some time (until the Apprentice put a stop to it). No wonder Isaac jumped at the chance to write a happy ending for the villains. I think he’s just wanting to be creative, deviate from the norm, tell a better story, what have you. He’s been let off his leash, and now he’s going to have some fun. Isaac is like Puck from A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream.

OR stays in SB and has to rewrite the book as it was intended thus making him the new author.

Based on the promo, I’m pretty sure Henry actually goes to the Enchanted Forest. Maybe he goes there as a spectator or perhaps as the new Author (maybe the Apprentice takes him).

Of course we all know he would want his son back in this new “happy ending”, but if it turns out that the Author can’t make that happen, then being a brave hero and being together with Belle would be an ideal compromise. Though what fascinates me is that he could have went the route of still being an all powerful wizard with no dagger curse, but it doesn’t look like that is the case. So could the human side of Rumple truly want to be courageous without having to hide behind his magic?

Yeah…if this is Rumple’s happy ending (which it is), then I fully expect to see 14-year-old Baelfire. Why wouldn’t Isaac be able to give Rumple what he always wanted (to raise his son)? And…yeah, wouldn’t Rumple still want magic, even if it’s good magic? And if Rumple is not the dark one, how is he even alive? He should’ve died 300 years before Belle was born. And how is Hook alive if he never went back to Neverland to seek revenge on Rumple for killing Milha? Small details…but ever so important.

Holy moley! So Snow White is Snow Black, and Charming is her sex-slave (a la Evil Queen and the Huntsman). Emma is their off-spring, but rather than being the product of true love, she’s Darkness Incarnate. Hmmm. So much for the “darkness isn’t born” mantra in this AU. Hook is still a swashbuckler? And Rumple is a knight in shining armor. Okay. Here it comes. And I guess Regina is a Snow White figure in love with a stable boy (or Robin Hood). How is Belle still Belle (since last I checked she was a hero in the original timeline)? Shouldn’t Belle be a villain like Snow Black?

I still am not sure if that means the Dark One force will leave Rumple’s body or that the sentient being Rumplestiltskin will be gone and all that will remain is the Dark One.

I’m thinking that the dark one force will actually leave his body and create a destructive black hole which sucks in all light and goodness.

And now he’s just gone.

Isaac: What’s this?
Rumple: A bagel.

Me: *cries*

“He was a lot of things to me…”

I can’t. I flailed and then I cried.

Quote

Since Emma couldn’t finish that sentence, let me try.

Neal was the father of Emma’s child. He was her first love. He was her canonical true love! Swans mate for life, something JMo acknowledged. Sheesh.

Diane: One last lingering thread is Anastasia from Once Upon a Time in Wonderland and her relationship to Will. Will we ever see Anastasia again?
Eddy: We have not, and we won’t this year. It is a story we’d like to tell at some point. It’s just that we didn’t have room for it this year.

What the actual crap? What kind of half-butt answer is that????

Is there a way? Yes. By choosing to be better. That’s real redemption, in which you simply choose to be the best version of yourself, by making amends, and trying to not make the same mistakes you once made. It’s actually really dangerous to say that you’re only being good for the sake of one person–be it a child or a romantic partner. Living for other people is a slippery slope because people leave, people disappoint, and it’s really unfair to put your redemption and your path back from your villainy (in the case of our show) on the shoulders of another person.

Yes, of course. But on the show, I was struggling to think of a character who intentionally chose to be good just for the sake of it. Was there ever a character who wanted to pursue righteousness just because they wanted to be better people? I suppose Archie. I also suppose Graham/the Huntsman is the best example. He was tasked with killing Snow White, but he instead spared her, simply because it was the right thing to do. He then let Prince Charming go, despite the consequence of facing the Evil Queen’s inevitable wrath. The huntsman got nothing out of defying the Evil Queen except the the knowledge of knowing he did the right thing, to hell with the consequences (in his case, being forcibly raped and murdered by Regina). Belle and Baelfire also chose to sacrifice themselves for the greater good, without expectation of self-gain. But then again, they were never villains, so choosing goodness just came naturally to them.

So I was just looking at the episode page on IMDB (Sometimes they get a few guest cast put up there before there’s a press release) and I noticed that there is an actress by the name of Paralee Cook who is listed as ‘Wife’. Is it possible that this may be what Eddy is talking about? Is he trolling us and it’s just a random wedding? Or is it possible that Paralee may be playing a bigger character that we aren’t aware of yet? Or perhaps I’m just looking too far into it.

Hmmmm. That’s curious. I suppose the question then becomes, whose wife is she? It’s an AU, so it could be almost anyone’s wife. Isaac’s? Rumple’s? Hook’s? Charming’s? Will’s? Robin’s? The Apprentice’s?
