No, no he wasn’t. He was putting up healthy boundaries between himself and his extremely borderline personality disorder/BPD mother. His expectations of her were consistent and fair. You both will have to point to specific examples within context, because I don’t know what you mean, I am afraid.
I’m going to include Henry’s treatment of not just Regina but Emma too. Henry wants Regina saved from the mob because “she’s my mom” despite season 1 being all “she’s the evil queen she must be defeated” then at the end he completely blows Regina off. Regina takes Henry under duress but realise that that is not the healthy way to parent Henry. She lets him go with Charming because she wants to be better for Henry and redeem herself, something which Henry encourages. Henry then undermines this in the very next episode by calling Regina, asking to meet up for lunch, which is something Regina is very happy about and rushes to get there, all so he can steal her keys and break into her vault. Regina then phones Charming and tells him where Henry has gone because she doesn’t think he wants to see her. Henry led Regina on and gave her false hope of building bridges with her son. Rumple and Regina then seal off the portal to prevent Cora coming through but Henry convinces her to unseal it. Despite the effort nearly killing her, Henry completely then ignores Regina because Emma is back in town. They all head to Gold’s shop to save Charming. Henry is hugging Regina and talking about how she saved them but then completely drops her to head off to dinner with the group without so much as inviting her. Henry believes Regina has killed Archie, this upsets Regina greatly thus making her more vulnerable to Cora’s manipulations. Upon Archie coming back, Henry proclaims that he “knew” Regina didn’t murder Archie. If he “knew”, why the hell did he not express this view? In New York, Henry finds out Emma lied about his father. There are valid reasons why she did this. Henry suddenly started treating Emma like he did Regina where his old parent drops out of favour because a new parent has suddenly come on the scene. Emma did not like this and apologises because she just wants Henry to talk to her again. In a later episode, Henry demands to be told what is going on even though it is absolutely none of his business. Emma gives in, not wanting to suffer the Regina treatment again. Henry then storms off because he didn’t like what he heard. Regina misses Henry so much that she just wants him to love her so comes up with the empty heart curse. Henry then has the most stupidest idea ever to blow up magic (it was so stupid, it would’ve served him right if he blew himself up). Regina stops him and he convinces her that she doesn’t need to use the empty heart curse because he already loves her. He then ditches her again once she destroys the curse and nobody tells him how stupid he was for messing with dynamite.
All of this…yep…just yep.
Well said @PriceofMagic…well said!

Emma only became the saviour because Rumple manipulated events to be that way. There is a reason WHY the prophesy about Emma came about. OQ’s prophesy only came about because the writers decided to put Robin and Regina together and skip developing that relationship properly. There is no in-show reason WHY OQ are destined to be together. It’s certainly no uniting the opposing clans sort of deal. Regina was happy with Daniel, Robin was happy with Marian and each couple would’ve been perfectly happy in their separate lives.
“Because no matter what their past is, or how they may seem in the present…at least you’re guaranteed a happy future with them.” This is kind of disconcerting. How would Robin have felt if, during the height of Regina’s evil queen reign when she was in full on peasant murdering mode, if he was told that his future happiness lay with this particular woman. Robin would’ve run a mile because that would not be the sort of person he’d want to be with, let alone love, especially as she had a dead or alive poster out on him and would’ve carried through on that threat.
And there may just be a reason as to why Robin Hood and Regina Mills are soul mates! Regina may have been happy with Daniel, who would have eventually still been killed by Cora, and Robin may have been happy with Marian, who may have still been killed by Death or Fate, but OutlawQueen Union is something that was supposed to have happened! And that is why Fate is trying to right the wrong done in the past, by giving them their what should now be a third chance.
And Robin would not have technically run for the hills, because he really is a man full of curiosity. I believe he’d be more interested in why she is his soul mate rather than getting on his knees, bargaining with God to spare him the ordeal. And when he met her, he’d be just as intrigued and perceptive of her as he was in 3×12.
OQ have to be together or else they’ll be miserable for the rest of their lives. That “prophesy” doesn’t offer much choice. It’s not even a vague “tall, dark, handsome stranger” prophesy which leaves some room for choice of whether it’s tall, dark, handsome stranger number 1, 2, or 3. It’s very specific. This person or misery until the end of your days. Not exactly something to rejoice about.
OutlawQueen Prophecy is about giving them the best choice in which they would be MOST happy! And seriously, who’d want to go on a Hunt to find their soul mate, it’s better to just know right off the bat who and what you’re dealing with. If the prophecy states that it’s your soul mate, there isn’t need for much of a choice, and should your soul mate die, then you move on to the next best option, finding you a True Love.
As Adam and Eddy have said, Soul Mate is that one and only person that’ll make you whole and complete, a True Love is someone afterward that can try to measure up to your Soul Mate. But I’m pretty sure Soul Mate Bond is never truly broken, but if one was to die, then you’re left to try to find a True Love.
As for why Robin should have had the “I don’t like you nor trust you” moment is because until he actually gets to know Regina, he only knew her as the evil queen- the peasant village murdering, Snow White hunting evil queen. That is not someone you would happily let your child hang around unsupervised with.
Once again, Robin Hood is a very perceptive man who could see past the whole Evil Queen Front….he could instantly see Regina, not the Evil Queen.
Being in a relationship with someone then finding out your new partner who you love murdered your previous spouse and being conflicted about that is not “two faced”, it’s called having a normal reaction to finding out your new partner who you love murdered your previous spouse. It would be even more important to get that issue worked out especially when you’re letting your four year old son socialise with that person. Robin didn’t work that issue out so much as gloss over it and ignore it.
Robin’s “conflict” between Marian and Regina didn’t play out as a conflict because the moment Marian was frozen, he went crawling back to Regina. Had Marian remained unharmed and Robin was still pining after Regina but felt bound to stay with Marian, then it would be a conflict. As it stands, it looks like Robin went crawling back to option B because his first choice stopped benefitting him. There are so many ways they could have played the Regina/Robin/Marian situation that would not make Robin look like such a douchebag.
Basically have Robin make a decision and stick to it.
Yeah…I could probably understand that being cautious thing…but only if it had been 40 years ago back in the Enchanted Forest or 3 Years Ago with Mayor Mills. The fact is…he’s seen this woman put her life on the line, and has heard stories from her family of how she has saved them. It is unfair to hold someone accountable for their past actions when you’ve heard from the very woman(Snow White) that she hunted, and who she went evil for, that the woman has changed. Therefore it wasn’t that much of an issue because EVERYONE knew Regina has changed.
It’s not his fault that Marian got frozen, obviously death or fate is trying it’s hardest to kill the woman, and that’s just one perspective of him “crawling” back to his soul mate. The man was clearly unhappy, and let’s not forget that even when Marian was Frozen, he tried for some days to keep his distance from Regina, but the struggle was apparently real for him. There was really no way for Robin to make a decision, and everyone would be happy….because some people would still find something wrong with his choice. It was really a small journey arc for Robin now that I think about it…he realized that he was going against his own code by staying with Marian because he wasn’t living truthfully, so there was a lesson to be learned throughout this entire ordeal.
Henry was a horrible brat, Henry’s treatment of Regina was nasty, constantly blowing hot and cold so Regina didn’t know if she was coming or going.
Alas, something we both can agree on! 🙂 To be honest…I really wanted for Regina to do what Cookie did to her son for disrespecting her.
I dislike the Kansas peptalk a lot (see above). Regina became Emma and hasn’t used the light magic since, it was literally a one time thing to solve that plot point when Emma would’ve of been the natural character to do that. Neverland Regina was great, she got things done and didn’t need anyone to “believe” in her because she knew she could succeed. Kansas Regina was whiny, annoying, patronising and hypocritical.
Technically, the reason Regina had such a hard time learning dark magic was probably because that was probably never her area of magic, which I and many other Evil Regals now think was Light Magic. Zelena was supposed to have dark magic, and Regina was supposed to have light…and the reason Regina couldn’t be as strong as she was in Neverland was because Regina had been convinced Zelena was stronger, and her pride had been heavily damaged with learning it was Zelena Rumple had been so proud of and not she. However, Robin, Henry, and her family believing in her gave her the strength and determination and the love that unlocked her long overdue light magic. Kansas Regina learned a lesson that even if you don’t believe in yourself, there is always someone who believes in you, and that is something Regina needed to learn. So I disagree that she was whiny, annoying, patronizing, and hypocritical because she learned a valuable lesson!
And just to clear up the air…she had a point with Rumple. Even though Zelena played a part in Neal’s death, they’ve taken sons and daughters as well…Rumple just finally knows what that feels like. And before you bring up had it been Henry, let me say that Regina knew Henry would NOT have wanted her to exact revenge on Zelena, she would have respected her son’s wishes. She may have never had nothing to do with her from that day forward, but she would not have killed her.
“True Love is (supposedly) the most powerful magic of all” Canon fact within the show’s first two seasons. No soulmates even mentioned, if it was it would’ve probably been attached to Snowing since they’re meant to have this “perfect” true love.
Well, move aside True Love because Soul Mate is coming through and maybe taking it’s top spot.
I see Regina as more of an anti-hero than a full blown hero. She’s willing to do what’s necessary that the “heroes” wouldn’t consider. For example, taking that lost boy’s heart in Neverland in order to send a message to Henry. Regina will be the villain so that the other heroes don’t have to be, which in itself is kind of heroic. Regina will ever be the stereotypical hero like Snow, Charming or Emma. She’ll do it her way.
I whole heartedly agree with this! Regina is better an Anti Hero than a full on Hero, because she gets what can’t be done, done!

I.
A prophecy is a prophecy…no matter how you twist it, OutlawQueen Fate and Emma’s Destiny are all in the same boat as prophecy, and again…can’t favor one over the other, The entire show is about destiny and fate, and OQ’s Prophecy was to unite them with the best person with whom they would be HAPPIEST with. It’s not a bad thing at all to be united with the person that will give you your Happily Ever After….technically, it would make real life super duper splendid if everyone knew who they were meant to be with. Because no matter what their past is, or how they may seem in the present…at least you’re guaranteed a happy future with them.
The reason Emma resents her “Savior” fate is because it comes along with so much pressure as well as trouble, OutlawQueen’s “SoulMate” Fate is one to rejoice over because they found each other despite everything they went through in their lives.
II.
And do so tell why Robin should have the “I don’t like you nor trust you”…he’s not that type of guy because he knows he should be the last person to judge Regina. Especially if what Sean said about Robin having just as dark of a past as Regina is true.
Robin is one of the most understanding, if not the most understanding character in the entire show. He instantly saw past the whole Evil Queen Moniker, and could see what took forever for everyone else to see. He’s a very perceptive man, who saw a woman who everyone claims to be the darkest in the land, save his son and give him a toy. He saw the hurting woman underneath the “Iron Lady” front she may put up, and could relate to her on many levels.
As for why Regina opened up so quickly to Robin Hood, yes it’s because they’re soul mates, but also…she planned on offing herself, so she really could care less if it was a stranger or not because she was going to put herself into an eternal sleep.
III.
Again…he had fallen in love with his soul mate, and it would be quite two faced to go speak all lovey dovey words to her one minute, and then talk crap behind her back the next. That’s not the type of man he is, and he did face conflict because he was caught between his true love and his already terminated vows.
IV.
Regina’s redemption does not rely solely on Robin Hood, but it does rely on love, companionship, and knowing that there is at least someone on her side, all of which she did not have back in Season 2, you know back when everyone threw her dark past in her face and falsely accuse her after she had just saved them, which allowed Cora to easily gain her as an ally…Cora showed that she was the ONLY one on her side.
Since when did falling in love with the man you were fated to be with 30 years ago, take away your independence and inner strength? If anything, it increased it, because that love she had from her family, Robin, and Henry unlocked the light magic, she was more than likely supposed to learn all those years ago. It was because of Henry, her family, and Robin that Regina was able to save everyone yet again by defeating Zelena.
V.
Wait a minute, wait a minute…I think we’re having two interpretations of him saying “Today is not one of those days.”
He dropped his moral code and honor because it was not only making him suffer, but because it was also hurting the woman he loved…his soul mate. He was really rebelling against his code because he was not live truthfully, an example he himself said he didn’t want his son to learn, so he chose Regina.
The First Choice never worked for him, something he probably knew would happen. He TRIED to make it work, and the moment Marian became frozen, He STILL TRIED to make it work. It took him maybe a week before he really went back to Regina, he only confessed that he truly loved Regina, an explanation given why his TLK didn’t work with Marian. He and Regina even avoided each other the best they could, but you can’t fight the pull when it’s pulling you.
VI.
Robin and Regina are soul mates…those who don’t like it can do nothing but accept it at this point. It is what it is now.
Is Soul Mate a higher level than True Love…maybe.
VII.
It is not good to dwell on the past nor the negative…so it’s best to forgive and forget. Regina’s wrongdoing has been absolved because although she killed Marian once, she saved her THRICE! Marian still has her son and her life, two things that thanks to Regina Mills is made possible because some OutlawQueen Fans were rooting to just let her die because Regina had done all she could do. So…Regina’s paid her dues to Marian three times over.
VIII.
ROFL at the “Pass & Go” Comment, but seriously, the road to redemption has to end at some point, otherwise Storybrooke and it’s citizens are huge grudge holders who just can’t be pleased. But, I think the fact she’s saved her victims descendants, as well as those still living on multiple occasions….heck, if we’re going to be completely honest Regina and Rumple have saved Storybrooke more times than Emma Swan, the “Savior”. But that’s a story for another time.
The point is…Regina Mills has earned the right to not only call herself a Hero, and she will gain back her Soulmate, the man she was destined to be with over 40 years ago.

4. OutlawQueen was not an affair… Ok….Lana Parrilla gave the best explanation that Evil Regals are celebrating her for. OutlawQueen was not an affair because Marian was dead.
When Marian was dead -yes – it was not an affair but what Regina and Robin did in the crypt — that was an affair. Robin and Marian are still technically married. He made vows to her. Cheating on your spouse is the definition of an affair, especially when that person is alive. You can’t glorify an affair. I’m sorry but no, Robin went back on his word and cheated on his wife.
And like Lana said…just like in the movie Castaway…her husband was dead till he came back, but she had moved on with a new family and a new life. After Robin mourned his wife, he was allowed to move on, just because she’s back does not mean you stop your new life to go back to the new one. It’s a messy situation, but it’s not a hard decision.
Not glorifying affairs, which I think is unfair to name OutlawQueen but everyone else had no problem with Snowing’s in Season 1. And folks use the excuse they were technically married, ummmm, no, not in this world were Snow and Charming married in Season 1. And whether David and Kathryn were legally married or not, he still cheated on her with Snow. Can’t excuse one and not the other.
And the same could be said about Robin and Marian, they may have been married in the EF, but in this world, that marriage is not recognized by the law…therefore Robin was technically not married to Marian in this land. I understand that was his wife back in the EF, but someone should explain to him the new rules in this world. She’s his wife through words, but not by law. Therefore OutlawQueen maybe guilty of sleeping behind Marian’s frozen back, it was certainly not an affair.
"If you go as far as you can see...you will then see enough to go even further." - Finn Balor
Ok…too much to quote, so i’ll just stick with the highlights! 🙂
1. Destiny
To dislike the destiny or fate that pulled Robin and Regina together….is it safe to say that we can also dislike Emma’s destiny and fate to be the Savior because if we look at it through that point of view, Emma’s not in control of her own life either. If “Pixie Dust Says So” is bad writing then so is Rumple’s “Savior” prophecy. So should we hate the whole Savior Moniker Emma has as well? We can’t favor one over the other.
2. Relationship Buildup
We had a lot of moments between Robin Hood and Regina….
– The first meeting, equal attraction.
Snow: He’s kinda cute huh?
Regina: He smells like forest.
-The moment Regina saved Roland, and then gave him a toy monkey. That was Robin Hood’s “You’re not as bad as they say” moment.
– Robin Hood tagging along with Regina to infiltrate her castle, Regina admiring his honor, and Robin admiring her soft heart.
Regina: Who knew a thief had honor?
Robin: Who knew an Evil Queen had a soft spot for children?
– The small talk in her family crypt where Regina tells Robin about how she lost Henry, that was a milestone itself to even open up to Robin Hood, something she has a lot of trouble doing with other people. Then Robin Hood tried to talk Regina out of offing herself….even Prince Charming noted that the Queen must like him because she had given him a gift of golden arrows….it’s more than likely hard to get a present out of Regina unless you’re Henry.
I can go on and on and list every moment they shared…but the ones I just showed were clear enough proof of the build up of OutlawQueen. Yes, they were at each other’s throats, but that was just a burning passion they had no idea how to be adult about…
3. Robin’s Reaction To Regina Killing Marian
Ok…once again….even though everyone else probably would have saw the absolute worst in Regina, Robin Hood could still see the best in her despite everything. He knew that Regina was insane, and out of her mind 30 years ago, and that she wasn’t that woman anymore. What did you all expect, for a good hearted man to throw her past up in her face, lash out at her, accuse her of being evil and corrupt like everyone else did in Storybrooke?
What good would come of that? Regina was already tipping on her toes on the border of good and evil in 4A, and it was her love for Robin, Henry, and her family, all who had her back, that kept her grounded on the side of good. Had Robin Hood lashed out at Regina in 4×01 like some of you wanted…then the Evil Queen would have surely been awakened, and it would not have ended well for anyone. But because Robin Hood is an understanding, good hearted man, he didn’t throw her dark past up in her face like the Charmings, Rumpelstilskin, or even her own mother did.
4. OutlawQueen was not an affair…
Ok….Lana Parrilla gave the best explanation that Evil Regals are celebrating her for. OutlawQueen was not an affair because Marian was dead. When she came back, it was pretty much like in the Castaway Movie (Lana is brilliant for this comparison), Robin Hood had moved on with Regina, it’s not his fault Marian came back. Few people expected him to just tell Regina “Well it was fun while it lasted, but I’m going back to my dead wife!”
He mourned Marian, and he moved on….he only went back to her because of his vows that really were terminated thirty years ago, but I’m pretty sure the separation from his soul mate took a strain on his sub-conscious and emotions. He did what everyone wanted him to do…he tried to go back to Marian, he tried to keep his vow, but Regina had his heart. It was something that couldn’t be helped…he couldn’t just sit there and rub Marian’s frozen hands and feet till she defrosted. And that TLK Failing was clear example that it was over between him and Marian who can now just be good friends.
As for him sleeping with Regina, it was something probably long overdue, and to be honest I wouldn’t be surprised if they fooled around back in the EF during that missing year. True…a crypt isn’t probably the most comfortable place to get it on in, but at least we now know she had a bed down there. Marian was in a frozen coma with little hope of ever coming out of it, and OutlawQueen is true love/soul mates, I don’t know…what else could they have done with all of that sexual tension in that small, fire lit room…play a game of Monopoly?
5. True Love vs Soul Mates
Robin and Regina were fated to happen…that has already been stated as canon.
Let’s take a look at the facts…had Regina and Daniel really run off together, we all know it wouldn’t have been long till Cora found them, and the same results would have occurred. The only reason Snow White is responsible is because she couldn’t keep a secret, something that can no longer be denied with the excuse she was a child because even as an adult, she told Emma about Neal being alive the first chance she got. Secrets are not Snow’s strong suit.
Robin and Marian….nine times out of ten, Robin only met Marian because Regina was too scared to meet him. And even still Marian ended up dead, and death has continually tried to kill Marian who will probably be dead by the end of 4B due to some freak accident. Death or Fate is trying his/her best to take Marian out.
Though Daniel and Marian may have once been Robin and Regina’s true loves…they were not their soul mates., and please don’t turn the tables to make Robin and Regina’s characters look bad just because they finally found their soul mate. Regina tried to kill Snow because of her hand in the death of her true love, someone she thought would ever truly love her. Because Regina didn’t meet Robin, he met his true love Marian elsewhere. Though it doesn’t really matter….the Soul Mates have each other now. OutlawQueen does not diminish Marian or Daniel, it just probably stands on higher ground. Could the love be greater…who knows?
6. The Villains Price
Let me start off by saying…yes, Hook gets away scot-free with everything.
But I strongly disagree about Regina who has paid her dues for her past sins. From losing her son on multiple occasions, to being wrongly accused, to losing her mother, her sister, true love twice, and even her soul mate. I don’t feel like listing the rest of them, but we all know she has paid her dues.
Rumple…this is the second time I’ve ever seen him pay for his sins, so he’s not always punished.
7. Forgive So You Can Live In Peace, Forget So You Can Move On
Yeah…Regina and Marian are even. She killed her once, and saved her thrice….they’re WAY EVEN!
Marian only missed four years of little Roland’s life, she needs to be grateful she gets to live to see the rest of it, and yes thanks to Regina. Even Marian said that they were even…if she can forgive and forget, I think everyone else should as well!
I will admit it, Regina has done terrible things in the past, some even unspeakable, but I choose to also remember that she was an entirely different woman 30 Years Ago. And that Regina has done a lot to save/help the people she once cursed, and inflicted suffer on. I choose to think in the course of an eye for an eye…Regina cursed everyone, she saved everyone, and she’s even put her life on the line many times for her people…does it right the wrong she did in the past, NO it does not, but she cant change that. All she can do is move forward, and help the descendants of the people she’s killed, and the people she’s cursed….that is all she can do to make up for what she did in the past.
"If you go as far as you can see...you will then see enough to go even further." - Finn Balor
Robin saw past the whole Evil Queen moniker, and saw the redeemed woman underneath. He’s never once thrown her past back in her face, and even though he knows she’s responsible for Marian’s death, he understands that she was a different woman back then, and that she wasn’t like that anymore.
I understand that but… In a normal, real-life situation, Robin I think would react very differently to learning that Regina killed his wife. I don’t think he would take her back with open arms. Marian’s not only his wife but the mother of his child. This is also the same woman he would have walked through fire for.
In a normal, real life situation…could any of Once’s ships happen? Belle was once Rumple’s slave…Hook is hundreds of years older than Emma…Neal left Emma to go to jail….Snow and Charming are probably one of the only ships that could ever happen in real life.
And we must realize that…the love he has for Regina and Marian are probably on two different scales. Regina is his soul mate, again bound by fate, Marian was probably his first love. Could Robin and Regina love each other more than they ever did Daniel and Marian…I don’t know, perhaps.
Robin/Regina would not possible in a real life scenario like that but for the sake of the show, the story and the relationship because Robin is supposed to be with Regina, Regina murdering Marian gets swept under the rug. And that’s more than a little disturbing.Again…none of the ships on Once could work out in real life, and a lot of things are swept under the rug in every Once Relationships. Some things aren’t even found out (cough) Rumple killing Zelena (cough), we know what happened, and we can either stay focused on something that has now become insignificant, or we can just move on with the show. But I do understand how you feel because the fact that Rumple has got away scot-free with killing Regina’s sister irks me still.And I think it’s safe to say that Regina and Marian are even now, so the whole “You murdered me” thing should be case closed because Regina has saved Marian’s life three times now, all at the expense of her own happiness. So they’re even now.I have no qualms with Marian. I think it’s sad she’s become a plot device but it’s also not the first time either that a first love (on this show) has become a plot device in order to prop up another character and make them look better too. It’s also not fair to the character of Marian as well. (Nealfire had more character development than Marian).
That’s all an issue with the writing….though Marian has no major connection with anyone but Robin Hood, so of course she’s gonna be a background character with minor importance. We can’t cover the background characters because there’s not enough time in the show, so she’s not really a plot device used to prop up Regina, who didn’t need anyone to make her look good because she had already done all of her good deeds before Robin or Marian.

I swear…I hope Fish Mooney doesn’t die….she’s one of the reasons I love the show. Though a part of me ships her with Harvey Bullock, so I’m hoping that they get to her in time….who knows, she may just be a valuable asset in really bringing down Falcone…no doubt if she does survive next episode, she’d be pissed off at Falcone for trying to “torture” her to death.
And I am shipping Jim and Leslie like NO ONE’S BUSINESS!!! I’m just really loving that ship!!!
A part of me giggled though at the promo when Fish asks her torturer “That all you got?”

(Applaudes @PriceofMagic & @ObisGirl)
I completely understand where both of you are coming from….and more than likely we may see the Robin and Marian thing in a Robin Hood Flashback Episode….but as for OutlawQueen getting to know one another on an emotional level, I think they already covered that back in 3B, but it was just behind the scenes. It was left completely up to the viewer how they probably got to know one another, but now that I think about it…we did have that during their Smores Lunch Date.
Though…I must add that Fate and Destiny play a large role in the show, and it had always been Robin and Regina’s fate to end up together. It was never truly her fate to be dark or corrupted, I kinda think that was always supposed to have been Zelena, hence Rumple’s “First Born” Child Prophecy…Regina’s fate was aligned to have a happy ending with Robin Hood.
And I think because of the Soul Mate Bond thing…Robin and Regina shared an instant connection which is why they progressed faster than any other ship, they’re not just True Loves, they’re Soul Mates….souls bound by Fate and Destiny to end up together. Which is why they had such instant trust: Regina trusting Robin with her heart/Robin trusting Regina with Roland….and really Sympathy or Compassion: Unlike everyone else, Robin saw past the whole Evil Queen moniker, and saw the redeemed woman underneath. He’s never once thrown her past back in her face, and even though he knows she’s responsible for Marian’s death, he understands that she was a different woman back then, and that she wasn’t like that anymore.
Even in the Enchanted Forest, they really had instant chemistry that wasn’t oblivious….they were really acting like two children on the playground who mess with each other because they probably like each other. Like Lana & Sean said…”It was a lot of sexual tension that they really didn’t know how to be adult about.” All that probably came from once again, the Soul Mate Bond.

I really like Oliver and Felicity’s relationship….right now I ship it as end game since Sarah died(cries severely again)!!! I shipped Sarah with Nysaa or Oliver…I DID NOT SHIP HER WITH DEATH!!!!!
But that Ray guy…it’s something about him I don’t like!!! I don’t know what it is…but I just don’t like him.
Laura becoming the new Black Canary…I don’t even know what to think about that. Like…you spend two months training and now you think you’re on level with your sister who endured five years of intense, painful training that came along with occasional torture. Okay then….
