SNEAK PEEK 2: Ice Queen Ingrid’s Capture
[adrotate group="5"]"If you go as far as you can see...you will then see enough to go even further." - Finn Balor
For me, marriage is a sacred thing…so ending it lightly, most especially when kids are involved, doesn’t fly with me. Having Robin or Marian leave the marriage just because of Tink’s little prophecy would be awful. Having Marian die to make OQ work would be worse, regardless of how it happens. I just can’t see OQ working in a way that I would feel good about at this point. But I think that Regina can emerge from this heartbreak a stronger, more heroic person. And just because RH is or was her soulmate doesn’t mean that he’s the ONLY true love she could have. He’s already the second man she’s truly loved, so that right there says that there is more than once chance for her. Maybe Little John?
Well since we’re being open and honest here….I don’t really have the highest hope for Rumbelle working out in the end. Rumple went into his marriage with a lie, and piled up the lies even afterward, and he’s already on Strike II with Belle because he keeps breaking his promises. When this secret comes out and blows up in his face, it’s Strike III, Rumple’s out! And frankly…I was worried about Belle controlling Rumple, we all know he doesn’t like that….he killed his first wife, his ex true love Cora, and student Zelena. And at the rate he’s going….can’t really put much past Mr. Stilskin.
Indeed Marriage is a sacred thing, but it can not be one sided affections! It’s unfair to Marian for Robin to be with her only out of honor, don’t you think? He loves Regina, and the sooner she realizes and accepts that…the better! If she truly loves Robin Hood, she’ll be like Regina, and want what’s best for him…and if that means letting him go, then so be it.
And little prophecy….ummm….yeah, OutlawQueen was prophesied! It’s going to happen one way or another, Marian or no Marian….and technically, OutlawQueen was supposed to happen even before Robin met Marian, Fate is just realigning OutlawQueen’s tale.
And to @PanTheMan….that was brilliantly said! PREACH!

Marian’s decision wasn’t a choice to abandon her son (though it had that effect). It was a choice to try to make a better world for her son by keeping her people’s hope alive in the face of utter evil.
Yet, as touching as that sounds…it still left her son motherless, and Robin a widow. I understand her want to save Snow White, but I don’t understand her choice in doing so. It was Snow or her….Marian had a lot more to lose. I mean, heck, she had a better chance at lying to Regina about Snow’s whereabouts, a town miles away from where she was! She didn’t even have to tell the truth, but she could at least try to lie before she automatically just sacrificed her life for Snow!

Regina gleefully sentenced Marian, a perfect stranger, to death, because Marian chose to be a hero rather than a traitor to her princess and her kingdom. Also, WR, you mention that death is stalking Marian a few times, but is that true? Maybe it’s just the opposite–the lady just won’t die! So far she’s been saved by RH, Belle (who made it possible for RH to use the wand and save her life), Emma, and Regina (as you keep pointing out). Maybe fate doesn’t actually want her dead, and her role in fate’s plan is to make heroes out of those who meet or are inspired by her! Wouldn’t it be neat if Regina’s transformation to heroism was inspired by such a brave woman? You know, if we’re going to look at it from different perspectives, after all.
And Marian willingly let herself die rather than think of her own family….in real life, a woman’s family comes first. I don’t know what type of trust and hope Marian had in Snow White, but it must have been something else.
Marian is invincible….NOTHING KILLS THIS WOMAN! And considering the fact that she did die in the original timeline…it was her fate to die, but everyone keeps stopping it. I’ve got a feeling Hades himself is going to rise up, and take her back to the Underworld…there’s the Season 5 right there!
I mean….if we’re bringing back dead exes to screw with the course of true love…let’s just bring back ALL the dead exes! Let’s bring back Millah, Cora, Zelena, and Neal….let’s see how well the Once fandom takes it! 🙂

I think they’re hinting that Regina takes back the office at some point….Snow realizes she wants to use her time to be a mother to Baby Snowflake, and hands the job back to her. But appareantly something happens that brings the Evil Queen back out of Regina, including the dresses! Present Day Evil Queen Regina is coming!

All OutlawQueen did was Regina killed Marian, who FYI could’ve gotten out of it had she snitched on Snow White,
ALL Regina did was kill Robin’s wife. That’s ALL, so no biggie? And implying that Marian deserved to die for trying to protect a good person like Snow is outrageous victim blaming.
I’m just looking at all the options Marian had…not implying that she deserved to die, but heck, she had a way out! It’s really not realistic seeing a mother/wife choosing to die, thus leaving her son motherless and her husband a widow, instead of just selling out whoever their captor wanted. Everyone knew the price of aiding Snow White, and the mere fact Marian was even offered a chance to snitch instead of instant death, is more than what probably some of the other people got.
Though I do agree @Phee that Robin should take about a week to leave Regina alone, just to sort through his feelings, and to allow her to heal a bit. Though I’m quite sure we’ll get the same results in the end…when Fate is trying to pull you together, there’s no stopping it.
And as I said…Regina has made up for killing Marian, over and over again! So the whole she killed her in the past thing just ain’t working as well as it used to….that’s like paying someone back money that you owe them, but they keep bringing it up. Yes, Regina killed Marian in the past(though she did have a choice), but Regina’s saved her life twice now, and is even willing to sacrifice her own happy ending to unite the woman with Regina’s only Soul Mate! So again I ask…what’s the issue?

To be fair in Robin’s Character…can we look at it from his point of view please? This man wife died 30 Years ago, he’s been a single father for about three to four years….he’s a very different man than when Marian last saw him. Even in the 30 years, I know some of you will pull the time was frozen thing, but the curse was broken for 2 of those 30 years, and Marian was dead at least two years before the Dark Curse was cast, so even still…it’s four years without Marian, long enough period for that love, which didn’t seem that far…I’d say Robin and Marian were married a year before Roland was born, evidence is the page in Regina’s book that looks like Robin marrying Marian only few years before the curse. Might I also add…that we still have no flashback, so the possibility of Marian leaving her ex boyfriend the Sherriff for Robin can still come up.
The point is…Robin Hood has changed! He mourned, and moved on…it happens folks! He fell in love with Regina, all his heart belongs to Regina and Roland basically now…well, Marian may have a small percentage of his heart ONLY due to the fact she’s the mother of his child. So…yeah, it’s very believable why Robin can’t just up and fall back in love with Marian, he mourned the woman! He came to terms with her passing! It was over and done with! But Emma Swan tampering with fate, brought her back which disrupted Soul Mates In Love.
Many complain OutlawQueen was rushed, while I do agree it could’ve been expanded…they were soul mates with an instant connection, love at first sight! OutlawQueen was a romance that was long overdue it’s time. And trust me…Adam and Eddy don’t want to set off the OutlawQueen/EvilRegal/Hoodie fan base, so Robin was the man with the Lion Tattoo. 🙂
Another thing…how can Outlaw Queen receive so much disdain when some of these other ships didn’t have the merriest, or wonderful background buildup either? Rumple originally locked Belle up as his slave for months before he fell in love with her. Snow White stole from Charming in the EF, and while in Cursed Storybrooke, she knowingly had an affair with David Nolan. Neal and Emma were both thieves in love. Killian was in love with Emma’s baby daddy’s mother, and centuries later fell in love with Emma. All OutlawQueen did was Regina killed Marian, who FYI could’ve gotten out of it had she snitched on Snow White, and then Regina has made up for it by saving Marian’s life more times than I can count! So….what’s the issue?

Regina is trying her very best…but I guess the Soul Mate Bond thing just makes it impossible for Robin to leave her alone! They’re trying to go against Fate, thus they’re having such a difficult time staying away from each other. There’s no out running fate…OutlawQueen was destined to happen, one way or another.
But I think @TR is right…she’s going to try to give him a memory potion, which will then unfreeze Marian. The ultimate sacrifice…but Fate will still unite OutlawQueen somehow!
