MAJOR props to Charming for refusing to engage in that “my wife is better than your wife” nonsense. Praising Snow is one thing, he’ll do that every chance he gets. But he refuses to pit women against each other. He refuses to drag them into a competition, especially one that neither of them agreed to.
Snow is awesome. Guinevere is awesome. Emma is awesome. And they are all awesome by themselves, not by comparison with each other.
And not only does Charming realise that, he’ll point it out and insist on it. Even when the only one to hear him is another man, one who thinks this is okay to do, one whom he quite likes and is becoming friends with. And he does it in such a way that Arthur isn’t offended, but just takes the hint and stops.
That’s just so important to me.
