OUAT APPRECIATION WEEK 2024 - FAVORITE PLOT TWIST It's Wolfstime. Killer wolf out there, as big as a pony but a lot more bloodthirsty. It's been stalking the area pretty regular.

ONCE UPON A TIME APPRECIATION WEEK 2024 – Favorite Character

"That look in his eyes... the despair. I had it, back when I was in the foster system. Just a lost little girl, who didn't matter, and didn't think she ever would. A little girl, who cried herself to sleep at night 'cause... she wanted her parents so bad. And could never understand... why they gave her up."

OUAT Week Day 4: Favorite Plot Twist

The first season of OUAT tells us that Regina adopted Henry and raised him for ten years without ever having any idea that his biological mother was Snow White's daughter, the woman prophesied to bring about her downfall.

The third season of OUAT reveals that this isn't entirely true.

In 3.09 "Save Henry," we learn that Regina found out the identity of Henry's birth mother shortly after taking him home. Frightened by the tangible connection to Emma Swan and Snow White living in her house, she tried to take him back to the adoption agency, but in the end she couldn't leave him there. She chose Henry, knowing he was related to her greatest enemies, knowing his presence in her life would no doubt ensure his birth mother's eventual arrival and her own subsequent downfall. What's more, she then chose to forget that she knew this -- thus leaving herself even more vulnerable to Emma Swan -- so that she could, as she said, "put her own troubles aside and put her child first."

By this point in the show, of course, we know that Regina loves Henry; even if some of the audience weren't convinced by her declaration that she does in the pilot, she's proven it time and again throughout Seasons 1, 2, and 3. But it's not until "Save Henry" that we understand just how much she had already given up for him before Emma even came to Storybrooke. Even as a villain who had not yet begun to redeem herself, Regina still chose Henry over the curse and her revenge, ten years before the series began. Regina herself may not remember the events of this episode's flashbacks, but they change the audience's perspective on her character and her relationship with Henry for good, and confirm for us with absolute certainty that no matter what, she will always put Henry first.

OUAT Week 2024 Day 1 - Favorite Character

I'm a bit late but the inspiration struck when I had written it off as impossible. Regina's story spoke to me at the time with her rage, hurt and defiance and even now that we've both moved on I still see a lot of myself in her. I'm glad she found a happy ending and her family, and I'll always hold her in my heart as the complex, interesting character that she is.
