I have this nasty suspicion Rumpel will use it on Belle, and that triggers Lacey… Everything better than losing her in his mind.

What bothers me is that they aren’t polite about it, they don’t want an actual debate, they just want to rant and yell and I’m like “JUST WATCH THE SHOW!!”

Or don’t, if they hate it that much. I know exactly what you mean. Also the people threatening to leave the show if X does/doesn’t happen. I mean come on, patience. Do they honestly want to ruin the plotline just to see their favourite star?

Not that I can complain of course, us Golddiggers have been spoilt rotten the past few weeks.

Yes and he is getting a troll fest on twitter right now on twitter about the show not being gay orientated/appreciated/whatever poor thing, so send him some twitter love.

Some people, really… *sigh*

498! Oops wrong thread 😆

I think Once never was about good people versus evil people and who wins. It’s about the battle of good versus evil choices in ourselves and how that affects us and others. How we act in anger. How two wrongs do not make one right. How we battle with the poor choices we make, how we redeem ourselves, and how redemption can go horrible wrong.
But also the good side of love and selflessness, how we can help people.
The show tells us there is never a black and white, only many shades of grey. Not one character is 100% evil, there are just flawed, like we all are, and some are more flawed then other. Sometimes we can overcome that and sometimes we can’t, but we all battle with that line between good and evil every day, just like the people in Storybrooke. Only they have magic added to the mix. Even terrible people can do good, and even good people can do terrible things.

Henry is a kid, so he has that black and white view of the world, and that’s his role in the story: innocence. But all the grown-ups know that that isn’t true, as we grow up we learn that making the right decision isn’t always easy, even if we do what think is right. They try to do the right thing, but it doesn’t always work that way. And some choose evil to get ahead… as a quick fix, rather then going the long and often hard way. Because to be good, you often need to sacrifice something. By doing somethng bad, you usually get what you want in the moment, but you get the price later on. Which is what Snow White now has to deal with.
And that is how we battle our demons in a daily basis.

Is there a reason why Mr. Gold’s ring changed color after he got injured by Hook (Colin O’Donoghue)?
Horowitz and Kitsis: Pass!

That will make SpinningGold happy.

Nodnodnod! 😆 *goes on plotting* Maybe I should ask if it’s opal or moonstone.

[spinninggold]

We have to consider that that’s completely down to CGI, the hearts don’t glow on set either, until a computer adds some special effect.

Hmmm, that would mean though that Jane is a liar liar pants on fire… Must rewatch episode 15…. the horror 😆

I think that the ring is trying to imitate one of those stones though, and somebody in costume does know about the background of stones….. but it could be either one, because it is only imitation.
Just like the emerald in Snow’s ring isn’t likely to be emerald IRL.

[spinninggold]

Both can be completely cloudy. The difference between opal and moonstone is the color. Opal will have blues, reds and greens. Moonstone only blues & reds

And then there is paste: opalite. Nothing more than fancy glass

[spinninggold]

Opal… in case it’s not moonstone, because erin may be right:

Opal is a stone of sympathy and compassion, pure thoughts Opaland confidence. It is the most unpredictable stone, a symbol of ever-changing fortune.

Someone said he was full of wuuuuuuuuve *giggle

An opal stone was inserted into a crown of Roman emperor Constantine who claimed that this stone shines in darkness, and believed it protects imperial authority, and his life. In his numerous stories about Opal he mentioned one miracle property of this stone which will allow the wearer to become invisible. Naturally, opal became the talisman of thieves.

Well here is a Dark one that can use some light and likes to be an invisible fly on the wall sometimes, so he can say : Taadaa, Rumpelstiltskin, at your service.

Some people thought Opal is a stone of “vain hope” while others believed that Opal’s sparkles clarify mind, give pure thoughts and drive fears away. In the East Opal was considered the stone of faith and love, in Europe it was a symbol of hope and happiness. According to Delphian oracle, Opal is a symbol inconstancy, typical in beautiful women. Shakespeare also shared this opinion. Astrologists consider Opal a stone of the Moon.

He has a mind like a razorblade… And between Cora and Belle there hardly could be more difference… Well, they are both redheads, and that’s it

Opal talisman boosts foresight. According to some legends Opal’s wearer can telepathically influence other people – if not for his own profit. As a talisman, Opal is supposed to be worn on the right index finger, gold-mounted.

Sounds familiar? See the future, master manipulator… And the stone is gold mounted… and mounted on a mr….bad joke, very bad joke

So moonstone and opal are definate candidates and after the picture up close I definately started to doubt myself
This is Opal

this is moonstone

Can any of you tell? Espcially when quality varies. Like I said, a good opal is made by the flecks, the fire. A lesser stone would have less fire. With moonstone, it’s the opposite, less imperfections make it a better stone.
So I honestly can’t tell.

Apparently Jane knows we ship Hook with the floor.

So which of you told her? Hey? 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 You just brought me to tears… laughing. I love Jane!

[spinninggold]

Could be, but it didn’t sound like it to me, somebody asked her if MM was still teaching… And it would make a good contrast with the battle she is struggling with internally. The innocence of children vs the darkness she has decended in.
