The Girl Who Trusted Her Heart or "Why I love Milah"

posted by minervadawn

So I've done this with some other things on here link and link so I thought I'd take a crack at one of the less loved characters in the fandom. Of course we know considerably less about Milah then we do Regina or Swanfire so I did take some liberties in the details. Anyway this is meant to be Milah's side of the story illustrating why I find her so interesting and shine a light on the complexities and admirable qualities of the character particularly her bravery and spirited independence.

Once upon a time in a land very unlike our own there lived a girl that much like many girls in this land...

My top 5 quotes from 3x16 onward

posted by Evilregal14

So I always do this thing after I watch an episode, where I write down my 5 favorite quotes in a Once Upon A Time notebook. I did it a few weeks ago with my favorite quotes up to episode 15, so I will carry on :)

3x16 "It's not easy being green"

1. "Out of my way munchkin!"- Zelena
2. "Not evil dear, wicked"- Zelena
3. "I've been waiting to meet you for a very long time"- Tink
4. "It'll take more than a dart when I find her!"- Emma
5. "Our mother taught me one thing; never bring your heart to a witch fight!"- Regina

3x17 "The Jolly Roger"

1. "No, I'm a girl that turns into a fish!"- Ariel
2. "If we're...

Characters that they should add.

posted by Darkangel6

There are a ton of characters that could be added to the roster of upcoming episodes and this is my list.

1. Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen (The princess and the frog) So far OUAT has already had a majority of the princesses on there, so why not add her and prince Naveen? Plus we need more princess on there besides charming.

2. Cruella De Ville (101 Dalmatians): As the song goes "If she doesn't scare you then no evil thing will" and just imagine what OUAT could do with her character, her and Regina going at it. It would be even better if Cruella was magical.

3. Pocahontas: At first I thought...

Why is Regina Not Held Accountable?

posted by TDDD

Why is everyone so quick to try and excuse Regina's actions? When other characters do bad things they are held to that, so why is Regina a different case? Even Rumplestiltskin is held accountable for bad deeds, even if not to the extent he should be, and aside from him you can rationalize the bad deeds of the evil characters. In my opinion, Regina doesn't have this - her hatred and idea of revenge go way above and beyond reason. It's reasonable for her to have bitterness, mistrust, anger and hate towards Snow because Snow spilling the beans led to the death of Regina's lover, Daniel. Cora was...

"Snow White's Discovery About Daniel's Fate"

"SNOW WHITE DISCOVERY ABOUT DANIEL'S FATE"

Recently, I watched Season One episode of ABC-TV's "ONCE UPON A TIME" called (1.07) "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" for the second time and found myself confused over a matter regarding Snow White and her knowledge of Daniel's fate.

In one of the flashbacks for "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter", the Huntsman was commissioned by Regina aka the Evil Queen to take the recently orphaned Snow White into the woods, kill her and cut out her heart. Sensing the Huntsman's odd behavior, Snow tried to make a run for it. She realized that that she would not get very...

Tamara & Greg

posted by Evilregal14

Okay, the only problem I have with Tamara is that she shot Neal. Other than that she's just bitchy. Greg I hate because he tortured Regina and he's just a dweeb. I also hate how he bossess Tamara around all the time. I personally think Tamara was forced into evil by somebody since she just seems to follow everyone else's rules. I do find her quite funny at times and she is gorgeous. I really hope she betrays Greg in Neverland and realises he is just using her, and ends up killing him. Even though I think Regina should get her revenge and kill him.

Captain Swan vs SwanFire

posted by minervadawn

So I've noticed lately that their is quite the rivalry growing in the fandom between Team Neal and Team Hook. Now I'm not going to attempt to chance anyone ones mind because I am well aware that the ship has long sense sailed and most are committed to going down with it.

However as a neutral party in this battle* I feel like I should point out to everyone involved (before thing get too bitter) that you are not as differnt as you might think. So here goes..

1. They run in the same social circles

**•Family Dynamic Between Henry, Regina & Emma•**

posted by zylice

This article is by Amy Scales on "Entertainment Outlook."
I'm posting it because I like what it says! ;)

Once Upon a Time seems to get a lot of criticism from some fans when it comes to the family dynamics that exist between Emma/Henry/Regina and who his mother is. The show does a great job at showing that Henry doesn’t love one mother over the other and yes Henry did go search of his birth mother which surely is something that hurt Regina and made her feel like she ‘wasn’t enough’ but those weren’t Henry’s motivations for seeking out his birth mother.

One of Henry’s primary goals...

Swan Queen: The List

Parallels

Emma/Regina parallels:

Both fell in love as teenagers.
Both planned to run away with the people they loved.
Neither plan worked out. Instead, they both ended up alone and imprisoned.
Both lost their loves and were imprisoned because someone else decided it was best for them, without caring what they would choose.
Both found their first loves again, but had to let them go.
Regina had to let go of Daniel three times: The first when he was murdered, the second when Rumple, Whale and Jefferson fooled her into thinking...

Becoming "the Dark One"

posted by DR76

BECOMING "THE DARK ONE"

I have a confession to make. I am a little disappointed at how Emma Swan became the new "Dark One". She did so by committing a noble act. And I find that . . . unsatisfying.

The Season One episode, (1.08) "Desperate Soul" revealed that Rumpelstiltskin had originally become "the Dark One" when he was recruited by the title's previous holder, Zoso, to find the dagger that would either allow the former to control him or acquire magical power by killing him. Zoso goaded Rumpelstiltskin into anger by questioning the paternity of latter's son, Baelfire/Neal Cassidy, and the...

What I think Episode 6 Tallahassee will be About

posted by disneyworld007

While searching the web looking for hints on who will be coming this season, I saw that Episode 6 is titled Tallahassee. I didn't pay much attention to it, until I was watching Episode 4 The Price of Gold in Season 1. Here's what I noticed;
Regina was doing some research on Emma, still trying to figure out who she was and while she was trying to find some information on her, and saw that she didn't stay for places very long. Although.... Emma stayed in Tallahassee for 2 years! 2! That was the longest Emma stayed anywhere and Regina asked, and I quote.
"Miss Swan, what did you like so much about...

Opinion on Dark Hollow: An article in two parts.

posted by minervadawn

I know this is late but I've been really busy this week and I wanted to get it in before the new episode.

Before I start I'm going to make a perdition. I predict that the first part of this article will be very popular the second part not so much.

Part One: Arielle

I love Belle and Ariel together! Now I wasn't as in to Arial when she was first introduced as everybody else seemed to be. All the talk about how funny and gorgeous and perfect she was just didn't make any sense to me. She was cute but not all that exceptionally pretty and not all that exceptionally funny (and this coming from...

My opinion about Regina

posted by KataraLover

This is my personal opinion about Regina so please just keep that in mind. Besides my opinion about her is unpopular so it really shouldn't mean too much to you Regina fans. Anyway with that said I don't hate her but I also don't love her, well, sort of. It depends on what mood I'm in and what she's done because I'm bipolar about her. First I'm going to talk about the negatives just to get it out of the way and after that I'll give the positives about her.

I'd like to state first that I think she's a hypocrite. She claims she's not evil right after she has an entire village killed. That's not...

Changes in OUAT and fan's wishes - my opinion about this

posted by magichand

What i don't like about Adam and Eddy, is that they're always granting a fan's wishes. First of all, fans weren's so happy because Regina was so evil in S1. Bam! In S2, Regina is a goodie and a hero. Then, they hated Cora and wanted her to die. Few episodes later, Cora dies in Regina's arms. Also, they were so annoyed about Greg and Tamara, then in S3, both of them are dead (I also didn't liked them, but that is not a reason to killed them just like that , especially Tamara - I know she was a bitch, but she was a good villain, just like Cora. Just because many of fans didn't like her, doesn't...

My Top 10 Favorite Once Upon A Time Characters

posted by KataraLover

I've been meaning to create this article ever since Ariel had appeared on Once Upon A Time and I never got to it until now. At least now I'll be able to have a stable list until season 5 comes around. These characters are my personal favorites and I might make my top 10 WORST characters list sometime. But for now, it's the top favorites. Anyway, keep in mind that this is just my personal opinion, so don't be rude. Enjoy!

The heart, soul, and faith of the truest belief

I know that this is actually a very unpopular opinion because no one besides me has him as one of their favorites....

Why SwanFire Doesn't Make Sense

posted by TDDD

This is my take on the SwanFire debate. This is just how I saw what the show was portraying and then got really frustrated with Emma's personality glitch when it came to Neal.

First, Emma was absolutely scarred by what happened. It's why she lied to Henry about his father - she couldn't stand the thought of him finding out what his father had done to her. She made up a story about how his father was a hero who died saving lives.

All her life Emma was completely unloved. As far as she knew at the time she was abandoned as a baby on the side of the road - "[her] parents didn't even care enough...

Regina and Mirrors

posted by zanhar1

Mirrors have always been closely associated with Regina, even before her debut as a character in Once through her Disney counterpart. But just because she's now apart from that part of herself doesn't mean that the mirrors are any less symbolic. That said I won't be talking much of her relationship with the magic mirror (aka Sidney) as my goal here is to address the symbolism of the mirrors.

Mirrors as Symbolism

The mirror thing started pretty early with Regina.

Back in season 1 Regina was probaby the character most seen in front of the mirror. And quite a number of times she would be holding...

"ONCE UPON A TIME" - Relationship Mystery

Since the seventh episode of "ONCE UPON A TIME" called (1.07) "The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter" aired, many viewers have assumed that the relationship between the Evil Queen aka Mayor Regina Mills and the Huntsman aka Sheriff Graham was one of rape. They believed that after ripping his heart from his chest, Regina used it to force him into having sex with her. Ever since that episode aired, many have accused Regina of being a rapist.

I had believed this as well, until a few weeks ago. While reading a Tumblr account, someone posted an exchange between one...
