Why I personally prefer Neal to Hook for Emma...

posted by gemzybabyox

Ok I want to start by saying that I am not 100% against Emma and Hook, I am sure I will warm to them eventually but here me out first...

Neal was Emma's first love...need I say more... of course I have to...

Well, I must quote Evilregals article here "You are sweet, smart, brave, gorgeous and you never let go of hope." He is the complete opposite to Rumple; he always put family first, I know he left Emma but that was "destiny" at play; if he knew then that she was pregnant he would never have left her; I personally think this because he would never leave his son the way Rumple did.

Once he finally...

My top 5 characters and why I love them

posted by Diamond_Queen

5. Ruby
I love her because she has gone through SO much and she's still one of the kindest/sweetest people in town. That makes her incredibly strong. She's unconditionally helpful to others. Even people she doesn't know that well or people she doesn't seem to like much. She's also such a loyal friend (especially to the Charmings and to Belle). Plus, she is full of personality and I love her bold style. And whenever she shows up on screen working as a waitress I get reminded to "Twin Peaks", which is something I love. She grabs all the attention. Ruby is also sassy and sexy without even having...

My opinion on Regina

posted by Evilregal14

So I put up a poll saying I would be doing these articles for the main characters and the majority of you voted for me to write my opinion about Regina first.

So, as many of you will know I am quite a big fan of Regina. She isn't my favorite, but my second favorite just to be clear as some people think she's my #1.
Positives:
I want to start off by talking about her "sass" because she has so much of it. In Neverland she became as sassy as ever since she was stuck with her worst enemies. She had so many good one-liners like "Filet the bitch", "Are you going to win over with your rainbow kisses...

It's ALL Cora's FAULT!

posted by zylice

It is all Coras fault! As you all said, snow was just an innocent little girl that wanted Regina to be happy but got manipulated by that WITCH!!!

Regina should blame Cora! NOT Snow! As Lana said Regina was thinking: " You little, selfish BRAT! You just wanted me to be your stepmother! You don't care about ME being happy!" Thats what Lana said Regina was thinking at the time when she was getting dressed for the wedding. But we don't know why Regina went 'Extreme Power-Mad' yet....she went WAY extreme to rid Snow! But...she didn't know any different....

Someday in season 2/3 I want to see Regina confront Cora and apologise to
Snow somehow and get 'redeemed.'

Baelfire + Emma Theory Issues

posted by Fahiri

I know that many fans here on Fanpop support the idea of Baelfire being Henry’s father. I would absolutely love it; it would make a wonderful plot twist and I would definitely like to see the reactions between the Charmings and Mr. Gold/ Rumple. However, as I was considering the timeline, I found problems with this theory, mostly in the differences between Bae’s and Emma’s timelines.
Bae is fourteen years old when he goes through the vortex (presumably to our world) created by the magic bean. Rumple is left behind, and becomes even darker as he mourns the loss of his son. I presume that...

Why do people find it so confusing.

posted by elstef

Warning: this article is basically me venting, because I had to get this out of my system.

I dont understand why some people seem to find the show, specifically the timelines, so confusing. This is not directed at the people here on fanpop, especially since most of us seem to understand it.

It is natural to have questions, since this show is written as a sort of puzzle, where we are given new pieces of the past each episode.However, I have heard questions online that make me think that some people are misunderstanding the entire premise of the show. They seem to think that the fairytaleland stuff...

Regina's feeling's toward Henry - My take on it

posted by Epicurean

I've been confused for a while about Regina's intentions towards Henry. She'll pretend to care about him, and then scar him emotionally just to win a battle against Emma.

In episode one, Emma had asked Regina if she loved Henry, and Regina replied "yes," yet Emma used her "super power" and knew Regina was lying. Emma is rarely wrong with it, and some of the things Regina does makes it seem like she really doesn't love him. Which begs the question, why even adopt a child?

I think it's because Regina was lonely, she wanted some companionship in a world where everyone is basically walking zombies...

Why Regina Is Such A Sympathetic Character

posted by zanhar1

Granted pretty much everyone on this show is sympathetic but ya'll know I have a thing for Gina so I had to type this one up after realizing (because of an ask over on tumblr) I hadn't yet.

Regina was pretty much set up for failure...set up for it before even being conceived at that. Though her mother wanted what she thought was best for Regina (not letting her spend her life in poverty) she went about it all wrong and ended up making her miserable. All Regina really ever wanted was her lover, someone who cared for her. She started out as such a sweet girl and she went out of her way to rescue...

Season 4 poster

Hello Oncers. This is my first article on this spot so let me first introduce myself. I’m Calypso but I go by Meeka and I bring an opinionated article on the season 3 finale and some thoughts for season 4. So let’s not waste anytime shall we?

The Finale

I’m going to break it into little pieces, then do an overall thought, then an overall ranking then season 4 theories, THEN some questions.

Even though I wasn’t a huge fan of Frozen, I’m actually pumped to see her in OUAT. Knowing Eddy and Adam they always make it good. I, along with many others apparently, think she will be Evil....

I got This "interview" from tumblr, all credit are belong to them:

"...For the curious folk here is the tale of
Jamie Dornan in Vancouver:
We were at the hotel waiting for Colin O’Donoghue when we saw Jamie
coming out. We have a couple season 1 cast photos that we needed him on, and I never got my picture with him last year. We went up to him and he remembered Ken and

Glad It Was You

posted by Coffeeuser

The afternoon was clear and warm. Emma was jogging down a path through the sun-lit woods, her blonde hair tied back in a long ponytail. She wasn't thrilled about Hook coming along on a jog, but she had agreed to let him tag along. Emma was jogging in a tank top and shorts, but Hook was wearing his usual black layers. He was also sweating terribly.

"Swan. Swan, slow down," Hook panted, trying to keep up. "Let's give it rest, eh, love?"

But Emma kept up her pace, keeping her eyes firmly on the path ahead of her. "Here, drink some water," she said, giving him her bottle.

Hook took a swig of the bottled...

"ONCE UPON A TIME": Tolerating Ambiguity

I wrote this article after watching the Season Four episode, (4.16) "Best Laid Plans":

"ONCE UPON A TIME": TOLERATING AMBIGUITY

A good number of the "ONCE UPON A TIME" fandom seemed to be divided over what was revealed in the series' latest episode called (4.16) "Best Laid Plans". This division seems to be especially apparent in the episode's flashbacks and the moral implications hinted from those sequences.

Since the second half of the series' Season Four began, there have been rumors and hints on the Internet that two of the series' leads - Snow White aka Mary-Margaret Blanchard and Prince...

Hook, The Scary Pirate and His Vicious Conquests:

posted by Princess-Yvonne

"1. Launches himself on a vengeance quest - first thing to do is going to the “eternal kindergarden” where he constantly gets his ass kicked by a little boy with the yellow bug and his gang.

2. Comes back from Neverland - only to be pushed around by bitchy mother and daughter, and eventually gets frozen for 28 years.

3. Upon coming back to life, pretends to be a simple blacksmith - gets chained to a tree by a group of girls.

4. Constantly makes innuendo jokes, hits on each and every female in sight - didn’t get one to actually fall for it.

5. Busies himself making rape jokes to impress...

Why I dont think we should argue about which villain is more evil

posted by elstef

Okay, so there has been a lot of debate between people who prefer one of our villains over the other. People have said that the villain that they prefer is not really evil, or that the other villain is more evil, etc. Well, I wanted to write this article to say why I think the debate is pointless.
Before I begin I just want to say that I like both villains, so I do not mean to insult either one, or to insult the fans who like them. This is just my opinion, so I ask people not to get mad.

One reason why I think the debate is pointless is because I believe that both villains are evil.

Now, fans...

3 Cute moments nobody seems to notice

posted by Evilregal14

Ruby&Granny in Broken:
When Snow/Charming were hugging Emma, Ruby and Granny are obviously in the background. But nobody seems to notice the way they look at each other nearer the end. I don't have any pictures for any of these, but go back and watch the episodes if you don't believe me! They give each other such a loving look, and I find it adorable.

Regina&Cora in Manhattan:
I'm sure some people have picked on the fact that when Hook barged into Regina's room, Cora and Regina were holding hands. I'm always curious as to why they were, but it was really cute.

Neal in Going Home:
When Regina took hold of the curse and she collapsed to the ground, Neal immdeiatly went to catch her head to make sure she didn't hit it off the ground and pass out even more. Most people just notice Emma and Henry running over to help her, but I just noticed Neal! Such a gentleman :')

The Age Old Tale of Captain Swan vs. Swanfire

posted by thisisme365

I just want to start off by saying that I don't intend to upset any fans of these ships I just wanna explain some things that I feel like some people don't acknowledge. Another thing that I want to state is that I don't think there is such a thing as a "good"or "bad" person. Everyone has done good things in their life and everyone has screwed up at some point, as well. I think it will be important for you to know this as you read.

I'm not going to tell you which ship I ship yet, just so you can hear me through :) (Even though you'll probably figure it out)

Which OUAT Princess most resembles her Disney Princess counterpart? Countdown. Decided by the fans.

posted by minervadawn

image is property of captbeans

This countdown was based on first impression things only like looks, mannerisms, voice. Any difference in their personality and story were not considered. Of course OUAT is its own show and there are a lot of differences so much that some had a hard time seeing any resemblances:

I think non of these actresses resembless to Disney princesses. The only thing that resembless to Disney, it's their costumes and dresses. ~ magichand

others had no problem seeing it:

You know, Disney owns parts of ABC...so...yeah... ~ TheFan2000

Hook is a villain who doesn't need your goddamn redemption arc

posted by rere14

I found this article on tumblr and I have to share it. I'm a hooker (hook's fan) but honestly I'm sick and tired that so many people justified hook's action, he's not prince charming he's a villain and from our childhood we know how awesome he is as a villain (well probably not from the disney version, he was a comic relieve in that one)!

Here's the article, I hope you enjoy it:

The Disturbing Origins of 10 Famous Fairy Tales

posted by Gabri3la

by Emily Temple

Sleeping Beauty
In one of the very earliest versions of this classic story, published in 1634 by Giambattista Basile as Sun, Moon, and Talia, the princess does not prick her finger on a spindle, but rather gets a sliver of flax stuck under her fingernail. She falls down, apparently dead, but her father cannot face the idea of losing her, so he lays her body on a bed in one of his estates.
Later, a king out hunting in the woods finds her, and since he can’t wake her up, rapes her while she’s unconscious, then heads home to his own country. Some time after that, still unconscious,...
