What Happened at Calvary!

@lovesacrifice sent 🐎 for a starter from Daniel

“My Queen.” Daniel said when he saw Regina enter the stables. “What are you doing here? If the king finds out...” It wasn’t their normal meeting time. In fact Regina was supposed to be in the castle preparing for a ball.

    robin had left roland in the care of regina mills for the time being. he didn’t mind too much, he was growing to see the woman as his mother, or at least she was the closest thing he had to a mother figure. plus henry was great. the only problem was storybrooke had just as many scary things as the enchanted forest or any other realm. maybe it wasn’t exactly a living shadow, or a flying monkey but things were still scary.  that’s why his little feet carried him, stuffed monkey in hand, out of bed at the first sign of a thunderstorm. not finding regina in her bed yet, but henry sound asleep, he wandered down stairs to check her office and sure enough that’s where he found her. “Regina?” he mutters nervously, stuffed monkey held tightly to his body.

how do they act around children

//You’re referencing this headcanon post right? I don’t think that was meant to be a meme but I’ll answer this more in depth anyway. ^^

Attitude about children changes depending on her stage in life. Young Cora is kinda indifferent to kids. She’s neither mean to them nor overly warm. She’s focused on herself in the way you’d expect someone between 18-24 to be. She doesn’t dislike kids and fully expects to have them once she’s married, but that’s kinda the kicker there- being married.

Obviously we know she gets pregnant, and it really does kinda come down to bad timing. Cora wasn’t ready to be a mother yet, and didn’t have the resources to do so anyways. It wasn’t that she didn’t love Zelena, or didn’t like or want kids in general- but she didn’t want them at that time. 

Fast forward a bit- heartless Cora, and Regina is born. At this stage of her life Cora has realized her own dream of being Queen isn’t gonna happen. Regina becomes the vessel for that dream, and Cora’s attitude about children is reflective of that. The way she treats Regina, however, is pretty different from how she would likely treat other children. We see this both with young Snow and young Zelena- Cora turns up the warmth, she’s sweet with them (or tries to be), she’s encouraging, she seems every bit the kindly maternal figure. And that’s generally how she behaves around children unless circumstances dictate otherwise.

Cora can turn cold in an instant- but she’ll only do so if she feels its necessary (i.e., sending Zelena back to Oz in the manner that she did.) Cora also will not kill children. She’s not above harming them, or abusive behaviors. But she does not and will not murder a child. (I know that’s not a very high bar of goodness here.)

Fast forward again- Cora with her heart back. At this phase of life she’s sad, much older, and tired. Her children and grandchildren are the only legacy she’s going to leave behind that she’s even remotely proud of at this point, and so they become the most precious thing to her. All that energy she used to channel into her ambitions and goals now gets funneled into her family. With her grandchildren in particular, Cora sees a second chance. She’s everything she wasn’t to Regina and Zelena with them- warm, loving, and as supportive as she knows how to be. (Not all of the critical nature is gone.)

With other children, she’s much the same. She may tend to grow a little sad watching them, as she’s prone to seeing everything she never valued or missed out on when her children were young. There’s a distance she’ll keep. But if a child were to approach her, Cora would treat them with nothing but kindness. Children are the one group of people she’s never cold or rude towards- she can’t bring herself to be.

Emma couldn’t bear to see Regina so upset. The other woman had been through so much and she didn’t deserve this. “Shots?” She asked, hoping that it would at least help her out a little bit.

@lovesacrifice cont.

“What use am I to them if I just go home? I made a promise mother and I’m going to keep it. If you can’t understand than I’m sorry, but I’m not going anywhere, until we all go home,”

“Regina, please, listen to me. I’ve been in this place for a long time now. You have no idea the kind of forces you’re dealing with. I do. You must go.”

"Cerchi di accontentare la famiglia, gli amici, i professori e così facendo lasci che questi prendano le decisioni al posto tuo. Ogni giorno lotti tra numerosi impegni e non ti fermi mai. Come pensiero fisso "non è abbastanza" oppure "non si è mai abbastanza stanchi". Detti la tua vita su dei motti che nel tempo si svuotano di significato, diventando sterili abitudini che trascinano le tue giornate. La propria volontà è assopita, non c'è caffeina che la possa aiutare, non ci sono stimoli che urtino la sua sensibilità. Resta assorta nel suo lento soccombere.

Esiste un momento però, nella vita di tutti noi, in cui una pulsione, un sentimento inizia ad ardere forte e trovi una motivazione capace di sopraffare ogni cosa, che ti da la forza di prendere dal collo, mettere a tacere e scaraventare queste persone a distanza di sicurezza.

È il momento in cui decidiamo di amare noi stessi più di chiunque altro.

È il nostro turno per dare sfogo a questo sentimento dirompente e non lasciare che si estingua senza che abbia portato in noi il cambiamento"
