Guys! remember that August ran away with a bunch of other kids. It could be that one of those kids is Neal. Otherwise it doesn’t make sense for him to know about the curse. See, it can’t be Bae because Bae left Fairy Tale Land waaay before the curse was created and before most characters were born (save Hook and Rumpel). So that means Bae can’t have a connection to any Fairy Tale character. They were all cursed when they came here with no memories until recently. That means Neal either came here right before the curse hit via a alternative route (and must have known about the curse before it hit) or he’s friends with someone that knew about the curse and wasn’t affected by it (Henry, Emma, Pinocchio). Emma couldn’t have been the one that spilled about the curse because she didn’t believe in it until recently. The most likely person is Pinocchio. And if he’s anything like the person his name comes from, he’s probably someone that ran with Pinocchio. Although it does seem that Pino was wooden when the postcard was sent.

I don’t think that Baelfire hates magic. He did turn to the Blue Fairy for help. He also used a magic bean to get away. It’s not that he hates magic, but his father’s magic is different. Rumpel is addicted to his power and it has changed him. That’s what Bae hates, not magic itself. He probably also hates the fact that his father wanted power more than him.

The reason Rumpel knew August wasn’t Bae was because Baelfire came to this world specifically because it had no magic. Therefore, Bae would know that you can’t use magic here. That’s why Rumpel knew August was a liar. Bae wouldn’t have tried something he knew wouldn’t work like that.
