Okay, so we know that while Milah wanted to go with Killian, she turned him down because she of Bae, right? And let’s be real; even in the height of his pirate swindling days, Killian could never love someone who willingly abandoned their child like he was abandoned.

In season 5, we see the plot line of how Rumple sold his second born child in order to save Bae’s life. And in that flashback the audience is to take that moment he tells Millah ‘’we just have to not have any more kids!!’’ As the moment she’s done. She decides to leave him. Because, as she says, ‘’you’ve traded away our future!’’

But here’s the thing; if Milah was daring enough to throw her life away, abandoned her husband and son, even suggest killing the merchant in the first place to procure Bae’s cure- why didn’t she kill the man herself? Why ask her coward of a husband?

If we look back to season 2 when we first begin to see flashbacks of Milah, she wasn’t trying to leave him at first. She tries to get him to leave the village; ‘’We can go where no one knows us.’’ This contrasts with that moment in season 5.

So, my theory is Milah didn’t want to leave her family (Bae, mostly Bae). She realized Rumple sold their unborn child to the merchant, tried to get him to gather the courage and leave the village (and outrun the merchant who'd be trying to collect on the debt), and when Rumple wouldn’t budge, finally went to Killian for help.

(It’s my personal opinion that Killian’s taunt of Rumple, asking him to pick up the sword and prove he was willing to fight for Millah, was staged, Milah still looking for further proof he was willing to do what was necessary for their family. But this is based on my own personal observations of character and is less easy to substantiate)

And in the circular narrative that is Killian Jone's life and the love of parallels that fairy tales can evoke, it makes the moment of pregnant Bell staying on his ship to hide from Rumple that much more heartbreaking.

I have just learned that Mountain Goats are NOT, in fact, actual Goats.

I have never heard of this band. I AM in fact referring to the animal.

But wait, there’s more!

I love getting unaccompanied minors (kids flying alone) who so clearly just. Don't want to be here lol. Sometimes I get to know a little of their story, like their parents are divorced, or a family member died and they're heading to the funeral, but usually they just don't want to talk about it and that's fine. But I always treat the flight like it's a challenge to make them smile. I offer them snacks and soda but that's never enough, that's whatever, they could get those from an airport vending machine. Chump change. So then I tell the worst jokes. Just the most embarrassing, kindergarten teacher, annoying dad jokes you can think of. And those always get a groan, or a "Seriously??" And that's my in! Now I can say "Why, what's your idea of a good joke? No, come on hotshot, make your best joke, let's see it." And they hem and they haw but of course they eventually tell me their very best joke because kids are little competitive comedy goldmines. And it's always super funny, so I laugh, and that's where they slip up. Because you know what you almost always do when your joke successfully makes someone laugh? You smile. And I'm like. Gotcha. Rookie move. Now you're going to end up having a good time in spite of yourself. I win.

Did this with an 11yo u.m. today and he said "What did the ghost say to the other ghost?" And I said "What?" "Nothing. Ghosts aren't real."

I really like this website because somebody will be like “there’s nothing wrong with darting out from behind a parked car into traffic, bootlicker” and you can be like okay this clearly evolved from a valid point about how the US is too car-centric. But something happened to it.

don't infantilise yourself. you are not a child who needs an adult to make your decisions for you. you are a splendid and magnificent autocrat and you are consulting your trusted advisors. you are exercising great wisdom by inviting an expert to give their opinion before making your ruling. often the path of wisdom is to say "good morning, I'm trying to [perform task] and I have a question about [aspect], can you tell me who I should speak to for advice?" before you do it. sometimes the path of wisdom is to hire a plumber. there are times when you cannot do things for yourself but that doesn't mean you are not an adult. you don't need a grown-up. you need a specialist.

this has come up a couple of times so let me be really really clear:

the path of wisdom is sometimes to hire a plumber.

the path of wisdom is always to hire an electrician.
