Some of my thoughts rant from S1Ep4
I'm surprised by how ignorant/stupid so many of them were in the fairytale land about magic? Like do they really think just because you want it enough magic wouldn't have a price? It's fundamentally how it works! It wouldn't work without it! They want the magic, accept the price, then throw a tantrum when the price happens. It feels like they just cherry pick the parts they want to believe and call the bad parts lies. Gives me vibes of a child throwing a tantrum with Rumple as the parent trying to explain consequences. I know he manipulates the situation to get his way and plays people, but he was also pretty transparent in taking time to explain how the magic and deals work. He even warned Ella about the consequences of using the fairy magicked quill and we see Ella and her husband talking about it earlier, but when it actually happens they run to blame Rumple and Charming agrees as if Rumple doesn’t know what he’s talking about…the Dark One about magic. I just…confused face ???? Also ya Ella should have read the contract but that one's pretty obvious.
