It's always interesting to me when I see people make Alice and Henry out to be really close friends or sibling like. Because, before the curse they didn't interact much and didn't really have positive interactions at all. They literally meet because Alice was asked by Rumplestiltskin— a man she met a few hours earlier— for help with his grandson. That help being drugging him then kidnapping or making him see that room/cave thing with the vines while drugged. And yk obviously in a show like OUAT first impressions aren't typically the best to go off of, but Alice had knowledge she shouldn't have had and told Henry about it in a warning.

Then months go by and the next time they see each other it's on the edge of the resistance camp because Alice was looking for her dad. In this scene its obvious that Henry doesn't really like her but Ella's the one to hear her out first because she's introduced to her as being "from wonderland."

After that I'm not sure we get another scene of them set before the curse. Which leads me to their first curse meeting, a less hostile meeting but still strange. Tilly sees Henry go to Roni's bar from the roof of a short building, stares him down while getting down from there, continues to just stare this random guy down then walks off.

Now, if my memory serves correctly, they see each other again when Rogers needs her help getting information on Eloise Gardener. And what exactly is Tilly doing when he sees her again? Selling stolen watches. In this episode they also briefly are in the same scene when she tells Rogers what she found out.

Again, if my memory is accurate to this shows timeline, they meet again when Rogers needs a place to hide Tilly. And yk he agreed and stuff and doesn't think Tillys capable of murder. But him and Tilly don't really talk directly to each other.

Its interesting to me that theyre often characterized as closer than they are because yeah Henry cares about her and Alice is grateful for Henry by the end of season 7. They're also barely in each other's lives for most of the time they know each other. Hell if anything Alice is closer to Ella just from their scene together in episode 8 😭😭 (which I will make a separate post about)

Anyway, if you hc them as being friends that's great, have whatever characterization you want!! I can't stop you lol

Henry and Emma sacrificing themselves so their loved ones could snap out of it and believe in something….oh the parallelisms……

(Henry eating the poisoned apple pastry so Emma could believe magic was real; Emma jumping into the Neverland waters to get her family to stop fighting on the ship and get rid of the storm)

OUAT and motherhood and its cycles through generations with Cora/Eva, Regina, Snow, and Emma…

It all begins with teenage Cora and Eva, Eva’s careless cruelty that festers within Cora. At some point, Eva grows out of this and Cora grows into it (although her cruelty is a lot more calculated). This results in Snow and Regina’s upbringing respectively- one defined by control and power and the other one by love and justice.

“All she ever wanted for me was to be good”- Snow says when faced with the option to save her mother’s life and Eva later responds that she “had the strength to resist darkness”, instilling Snow’s black and white morals which causes its own fair share of problems. Cora’s constructed veil of love that covers her master plans and her own thirst for power shapes Regina’s upbringing, even if for most of her youth she was kind, sophisticated, and regal in every sense of the word guided by love and hope. Cora’s jealously of Eva never fades, as she says above Eva’s body “my daughter doesn’t love me the way yours does you.”

Cora’s choices, which are to an extent motivated by her desire to destroy Eva’s legacy, shape all that happens next. Her orchestration of Eva death, Snow’s choice, Regina saving Snow, Snow telling Cora about Daniel, Regina’s festering resentment of Snow, Leopold’s death, Snow’s banditry etc etc. Regina becomes queen and becomes Snow’s stepmother although they have something closer to a tumultuous sisterhood.

Of course, Regina robs Snow of her first chance at mother hood with the curse taking Emma away from Snow the day of her birth. Emma’s upbringing is the result of her lack of parents leading her to meet Neal and then to end up in Prison and have Henry, who is taken away the day of his birth. By some stroke of luck, he ends up being adopted by Regina, who is transformed by motherhood. Henry finds Emma brings her back to Storybroke and 7 seasons go by all about Emma and Regina and their journey with motherhood.

Snow and Cora who both use the “I’m protecting my family” as their justification for everything, which is true in one case and somewhat false in the other, further establishes the through line between them all. And I didn’t even include Zelena (who is somewhat more of a last minute edition and doesn’t have as much of a place in this specific thread, although she too also takes Snow’s baby from her?)

Also has to be noted how big a role class plays in all of this. With the Eva/Snow/Emma thread always being connected to people at the top and people who were born with power versus Cora/Regina/Zelena thread being one rooted in poverty and anger that was fanned by mistreatment from those with power.

Oh Season 2 of OUAT you will always be famous…
