Hagrid going back to Hogwarts after the war, and Harry taking him to Diagon Alley to return the favor :)
Aaww..
Thinking about Swan Queen, really thinking, always makes me so upset because they had the chance to be everything, the perfect story and it makes me so mad because if one of them was a man then that perfect story would have come true but instead (baring in mind i’m only half way through season 6) we get, A shell of Emma Swan who was such a strong, beautiful, complex character at the beginning, who cared so much about Henry and Regina. Who would have done anything for them and instead married a horrible man and left Storybrooke, left Henry, Regina, Snow, David, Neal, the family she’d been searching for her whole life! What happened to the women that was determined to get Regina her happy ending? to keep Henry safe? but instead sacrificed everything to be with a man who treats her like shit? And speaking of Regina, what happened to her happy ending? seriously, what happened?
It just makes me so angry. I don’t understand how this TV show (in my opinion) fell to complete and utter shit. Why does Regina have to work 3 times as hard as everyone else to get redemption? While Hook just does one fucking good thing and it’s like ‘oh look he worked so hard’. This show contradicts itself so often and tbh it just doesn’t make sense anymore.
Look, I am biased but Swan Queen should have been the ending of this show. It should have been Regina, Emma and Henry together, happy. Just AHHHHH, I can’t put into words what I want to say or how I’m feeling. I just know that this isn’t fair. That this couldn’t have been how it was meant to end. Because this is not a happy ending.
This should have been our ending…
…And nothing anyone says can change my mind on that.
Emma: You're destroying my life to get me to help you defeat the woman who kidnapped you as a baby and tormented you?
Gideon: Yes.
Emma: You know I'm friends with your mom right?
Gideon: Ummm...
Emma: And even if I wasn't, you're my son's uncle. That makes you family, and I help family.
Gideon: Are you suggesting...
Emma: All you had to do was ask. I'm the savior. Helping people is literally the job description.
Gideon: Please don't tell my mom about this.
Emma: Already texted. You are so grounded when we finish taking down the Black Fairy.
Hoy estaba buscando una respuesta a mis problemas en la biblia. Elegi una pagina al azar y me salio el relato de como samuel y sus hijos murieron por no seguir a dios... creo que le creyeron a una adivina o algo asi... Señor si existe el tumblr en el cielo quiero decirte que no funciono con amenazas. Pd: solo queria motivacion para estudiar T-T
This is mesmerizing to watch.
actually physically painful to watch because you know months were spent masking all those frames for each of the kajillions of transitions in this
When the Evil Queen kisses Rumple:
Can you please do a meta of who Regina is at her core?
In some ways this is an easy question to answer. Kitsis tells us during the DVD commentary on 1.18 that this is the most evolved Regina there is, and that her entire character arc is to find her way back to this place. The heroic, selfless, and hopeful young woman who would risk her life for a stranger.
She was also a woman born with incredible destiny and magical power. So much raw power within her that when Rumple met her he shivered at the potential within her. This is the Dark One, a man who is probably the most knowledgeable connoisseur of magical power ever, and those who want to dismiss her really must face reality of this moment. Before training. Before Rumple. The magic was inherent to her.
But what was the nature of that magic. We are shown her struggling with her lessons under Rumple. The alternate reading from the “Regina is weak and was just a brilliant student” is that learning dark magic was fundamentally going against her nature. We know from Glinda, a character set up as the leading expert on magic in Oz, that only someone with the most powerful light magic could defeat Zelena. Magic much more powerful than Glinda herself possessed.
Regina’s difficulty learning magic from Rumple was not because she was less powerful than other magical characters. It was because she was going against the very nature of her magic. She was never meant to be a villain. The Evil Queen was not her destiny. Regina the Good was and her path was twisted.
It leads us back to a fundamental truth of the series.
Once the darkness was created and nurtured Regina lost sight of who she was. Ironically emphasized by her repeated insistence that she did know who she was. Every time people saw beyond the mask, Marian and Archie, both people presented as excellent judges of character looked at Regina and saw a woman who was lost.
And her own reactionary insistence that she knew who she was was the surest sign that they were right. When Regina is backed into a corner her instinct is always defiance. It is always to fight and refuse to be defined. The nature of her bluster allows us to see that the truth is the opposite of what she says. Regina during the Evil Queen period didn’t know who she was. And Regina really doesn’t love having to fight all the time.
Young Regina was a woman who despite as we know, already having a difficult life, believes in the power of love to change the world. This statement, that true love is the most powerful magic of all is even more powerful when you realize that Regina even at this point in her life is incredibly familiar with magic. She has seen raw power from her mother’s finger tips hurt and kill even before Daniel. She has learned to fear magic…. yet power to her doesn’t come from the ability to hurt but the ability to create happiness.
Regina would spend the rest of her life trying to find happiness, often misguidedly, but that search for happiness has defined her life. As has her respect for love. When she has lost herself it has come when she’s lost hope for love but not because she lost belief in it’s power.
Love might be weakness or strength at different points in her life but it is always the key to a person. The most important trait.
As cynical as she might seem, and as beaten down by her life, there is an incredible resiliency to Regina. The holder of the most resilient heart. And that shows not just in her ability to love deeply and passionately but also in the persistence of her belief in the power of the things her culture told her were more powerful than darkness: love and hope.
This moment on the rooftop may speak to a kind of heart breaking history of unfulfilled wishes…
… but conversely it also speaks about a woman who even after all those “useless” wishes continued to believe in their power. The amazing thing is not that her wishes weren’t answered. It was that she has kept making them.
Snow White may be the character we most associate with hope, but Regina is the character who most manifests a deep belief in it even though no one would fault her for giving up.
For Regina that search for happiness has always come strongly intertwined with family. Unfortunately for Regina she kept looking for that love and support from a woman who was never capable of giving it to her. When she was investing all of her desire for family in her mother she was always going to come back hurt and wounded.
But when she invested her heart with Henry all the damage Cora did slowly began to be undone. Henry taught Regina what true love and family could feel like and as soon as that happened she was determined to show that faith and give that strength Henry gave her to others.
Be it constantly reminding Emma in her darkest hour of who she was….
Or helping her longest enemy and oldest friend remember who she was.
To having faith in Zelena beyond all reason and offering her a hand out of the darkness that she had once been lost in herself.
And it goes beyond her immediate family. Because Regina, despite the fact that perhaps she never wanted power is a natural leader. Not because she is a queen but because she has a deep innate need to serve. Comments about infrastruture and beaucracy may be funny, and we can joke about a woman who loves doing paperwork even as her world is collapsing, but fundamentally all of these come down to a deep need to protect and to lead. Much more so than most of the other hcaracters who also hold leadership positions.
Both Snow and Charming lead in a way that speaks of a naive belief that people follow you because of a title. They are the prince and the princess and if they look the part the rest will follow. When Regina talks about leadership it actually comes from a place built on some of the fundamental values of how a leader has to think.
That leadership and heroism are different things. And that you can’t simply expect people to follow you for title or power or heroics, but because people have to trust that you will make the decisions that will serve them not just some idea of being a good or heroic individual.
But all of this also comes back to your original question. What is Regina at her core. Is it the nature of the woman before her life. Or is it who she is after the pain, and darkness, and love and loss.
I would say the striving to be better is her most fundamental trait now. One that recognizes that no she isn’t a hero for one act, or two, or ten. That heroism is something that happens in a moment. To be a hero you have to continuously work.
You have to self examine why you are doing these things. Is good done for your own gain (even if that gain is redemption) really good. Is heroism done for glory heroism?
And as utterly heart breaking as her current mindset is, it’s also an incredible statement about her fundamental goodness.
She doesn’t do good for glory. She doesn’t do good expecting reward. She doesn’t see doing good as it’s own reward. In fact it’s just the opposite. She sees doing good as being inherently painful but she does it anyway. This is intertwined in her belief about being a good leader. Sometimes you have to decide who is going to lose for the greater good.
Regina has made the choice that she will lose so that others can be happy.
And that is more remarkable, more special, more noble than any act of heroism she could possibly perform.
“I killed you.” “Did you really think it would be that easy?”
Imagine the end of 5A without the Dark Two twistiness—
Emma dies to stop the darkness.
Hook is three centuries old. He’s outlived everyone he’s ever loved; did he expect to grow old with her? He’s accustomed to letting go, to losing loved ones to death, but it still hurts like an old wound ripped open.
Regina’s lost nearly everyone in her life too, including herself for a while. It’s thanks to Emma that she got Henry in the first place, thanks to Emma that she’s on the road to salvation now. This loss may hurt more than any other for what it represents as much as the friendship lost.
Henry knows this was an act of bravery from the beginning, an act of love that Emma saved Regina from the darkness that would have consumed her. But he’s the Author now and he wants to be a hero. He just watched one mother die but he saved her; can’t he save this one too?
David feels like he’s lost his daughter over and over and over, that their entire relationship has been predicated on him losing her. He has his wife, he has his son, but there’s still a piece of his shared heart missing when Emma disappears from his life again.
Snow keeps losing Emma too, but the finality of this breaks something in her. This woman has had her newborn child taken from her arms twice; this time her grief is so wild that Regina fears she might descend into darkness. But in the end, that isn’t the descent Snow plans.
Snow’s heart is full of hope because she has chosen to believe that good can come from even the darkest heart. So it really shouldn’t be a surprise when she comes to Regina in the middle of the night, saying there must be a way to get Emma back.
Even if they have to descend into hell to find her.
Tengo miedo!! Que pasa si el personaje que muere esta temporada es Regina!! No quiero, pero talves muera como una heroina y termine junto a Robin en alguna parte, por eso no esta en la vision de Emma... T-T Espero estar equivocada.
In summary....I Ship Lana Parrilla
Always
I don’t scream about how angry I am that Robin died enough so HERE GOES
I HATE THAT ROBIN DIED. I HATE THAT HE LEFT HIS CHILDREN ORPHANED. I HATE THAT HE SACRIFICED HIMSELF FOR REGINA. I HATE THAT HE HAD TO. I HATE THAT HE WAS RIPPED AWAY FROM HER IN A WAY THAT WOULD ONLY MAKE HER BLAME HERSELF. I HATE THAT SHE LOST LOVE AGAIN. I HATE THAT THEY WEREN’T EVEN GIVEN A CHANCE. I HATE THAT THEY WERE NEVER HAPPY, NEVER AT PEACE, AND HAD TO TAKE THE SMALL MOMENTS OF HAPPINESS AS THE BEST THEY WERE EVER GOING TO GET. I HATE THAT THERE ISN’T ANY MORE FOR THEM. I HATE THAT EVERYTHING IS A MEMORY. I HATE THAT EVERYTHING IS PAINFUL NOW.
I HATE THAT THEY TOOK AWAY SUCH A LOVING, UNDERSTANDING, KIND HEARTED, FORGIVING, STRONG CHARACTER FROM A SHOW THAT SO DESPERATELY TRIES TO PREACH ABOUT HOPE. I HATE THAT THEY TOOK AWAY MY HOPE. I HATE THAT THEY NEVER EVEN GAVE ROBIN A CHANCE. I HATE THAT THEY NEVER GAVE OUTLAW QUEEN A CHANCE.
I HATE THAT THEY NEVER ONCE, THROUGH ALL THE CRAP THAT THEY HAD TO ENDURE, THROUGH THE MISSING YEAR AND NEW YORK AND ZELENA AND THE BABY, THROUGH ALMOST LOSING EACH OTHER OVER AND OVER AND OVER, THEY NEVER ONCE TOLD EACH OTHER “I LOVE YOU.”
I HATE THAT THEY GAVE US SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL, DESTROYED IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN, AND NEVER BATTED AN EYE AT RIPPING IT AWAY FROM US. I HATE THAT ROBIN DIED.
You aren't alone
Anyone else still in denial about Robin Hood's death?
I am still thinking that regina can divided her soul and give it to robin. I also hope that baby robin is regina's daughter and zelena takes her from regina with magic. ... I need a hug... and a lot of fanfictions...
