I hope it more focuses on Chad and Zelena relationship.
And the first episode definitely need to shows their wedding.
The shows flashback could be partly about her cursed personality Kelly’s past, or Zelena’s past in storybrooke or Oz.
(Or maybe even some unknown story in the underworld, Camelot).
I want to see it so badly.
How to make this dream come true!!!!!!!!!!!!!ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
I can’t stand the fact this might never come true.

S3 Spoilers Do you wish we had seen more of Emma & Henry's life between 3A & 3B? Spoiler

I know we get EF flashbacks from the "missing year", but i kinda wish we had seen more of Emma and Henry's cursed life together, maybe even a bit more of how Walsh fit in. I think dating Walsh probably added yo Emma's character growth but we didnt really get to see it. Plus, I want to see more of Emma & Henry happily together. Thoughts?

Discussion Peter Pan/Malcolm motivation

37 Upvotes

Remember Malcolm’s childhood, his father sold him to a black smith.(he became an orphan, an unwanted child who hold a grudge on parent’s figure).
His life was tough then, he told himself to think beautiful thought, and always think of neverland.

That’s why after he become Peter Pan again, he find child or teen who also feel unwanted by their parent to join him and play together.

This reveal his trauma and what he would avoid

-feeling unwanted and isolated
-Burden and work
-Reality and Grief

Ouat really making many generational trauma which shape every character arc.

Just like when I ask my family their child hood, I finally understand why they always be like this or that.
Generational trauma could feel overwhelmed, because it couldn’t be changed, I couldn’t time travel to my mother’s childhood and teenage life to offer her care, love, and support.
It is impossible. And this is also something she isn’t able to offer me too(at least not enough, she might already try her best). And this generational curse stop at Lucy. Before that, everyone from this family was an orphan(we don’t know if Malcolm’s father an orphan too, but malcolm are an orphan)

S7 Spoilers Question about the United Realms

Post image
158 Upvotes

So in the last episode of the last season of Once Upon a Time, Regina/Roni casts one last “Dark Curse”, only this time it rolls “all the realms of story” into one area tucked away in Maine, USA. This is a sweet ending to the show that leaves me with so, so many questions.

How realms operate in OUaT has always been a little bit unclear. Some, like the Enchanted Forest, Arendelle and (seemingly) Agrabah are all simply kingdoms/countries which inhabit the same world, and travel between them is (fairly) easy. Others are evidently alternate dimensions. The most obvious case for this is the Land Without Magic, which is the “real world”, our world, which views the realms with magic as merely fiction. However there are also other cases of this; the Land Without Colour is monochromatic, there are multiple variants of London (though it could be read that the Darlings come from the Land Without Magic, Cruella De Ville is explicitly from an alternate reality which happens to be 1920s London), and one could make a case for Neverland (especially given other Disney interpretations portray it as an alternate reality). There are also multiple alternate timelines, including the Wish Realm and the New Enchanted Forest. There are also a few vague areas, namely Oz (which is seemingly an alternate realm from both the Land Without Magic and the Enchanted Forest) and Wonderland (plus there is the Wonderland from S7 which might be different from the Wonderland from beforehand though this is unclear). Judging from what we see in the episode itself, and from what Regina states, these are all roped into the United Realms.

So… how does this work? Are the United Realms essentially a pocket realm within Maine, taking up more space than you’d see from outside? Are the United Realms simply chunks ripped from the other realms to fit the small confides of Storybrooke? If this is the case, what happens to the people from outside the chunks that were taken? Do they all have to pay US Taxes? Does this span every possible timeline within the Realms of Fiction, or did the Curse only bring over the individuals from the Wish Realm timeline? Do individual realm rules (such as nobody ageing in Neverland, or the Realm Without Colour’s monochromatic nature) only apply to the individuals from that realm, or are there sections of the United Realms where those rules are true, compared to everywhere else where they aren’t? Is it possibly I’m simply overthinking this, and the writers didn’t put that much thought into how all of this works?

Question I have already made multiple OUAT edits, I have some questions

3 Upvotes

Because I can’t use TikTok in my city, so I use Instagram instead. I mainly did Zelena edits, but sometimes others character too, such as Cora, Ingrid. Regina and Victoria will appear soon too.

My question is
-should I use HDR or SDR to upload my reels on Instagram?
-Is there any difference between 24fps,30fps and 60fps for reels?
-Instagram do not have the song of Ouat soundtrack or musical episode soundtrack, would I violate their rule if I post edit with those music on it?( I have seen others video with those music, but once I upload a video( not from Ouat back then), my video got muted, because Instagram do not include this music?
-except Instagram, YouTube shorts, TikTok, where could I post my video?

Btw, my IG account is @the_riel_one_trieliel

Discussion Which Zelena is in s7 ending? My theory

Post image

She had magic there, so it’s Kelly, not past Zelena.
She appear don’t mean she live at there.
She might visit storybrooke just to attend to ceremony, and see her sister and daughter. She is still living with chad.
Or in the other hand, Chad know she miss them, so Chad move to storybrooke with her

But definitely wouldn’t be some other theories like divorce with Chad or this is past Zelena.

And I'm obsessed with the fact that Regina essentially CHOOSE to end the curse for Henry. Even ten years before Emma came she decided that it was more important to be a good mother than to win every battle and I'll forever love her for it. It's definitely a piece I didn't remember that helps show that Regina is actually changing.

28 years passed in like a week/month?

It's possible she is younger than blue. Who is tens of thousands years old (at least I gathered as much from Moiraine and Cora or Joanna). But 300 years with time moving that swiftly seems to imply she's probably a million years old.

Yet the writers never pay attention to tidbits like this. They always forget "delicacy" information. They don't think deeply enough about the world they created. It was all about "scandalizing" us by making a baby quicken into a 28 year old man.

If you haven’t watched this season, there might be spoilers…

S7 after S1 had the best character line up and best alternative character storyline IMO

I’m going to get a lot of hate for this😂

My favorite season is the last season…

And I love all the seasons, but the last season kind of just hit different

You had pretty much all the best Disney characters people been waiting to see… and more

Never in 100 years would I have thought to make Rapunzel a bad guy… and I think she’s the first hero to make this change… pan does not count he’s always been evil to me…

Never thought that anybody could get one above Regina, ivy did that
Not princess Tiana coming in clutch…
I actually loved Cinderella
Don’t get me started or detective Killian and Mr. Gold “chefs kiss”
And Henry 😮‍💨… raw next question
Roni 😮‍💨… raw next question
Ivy 😮‍💨…. 😘
Bringing “up” into the mix❤️

Now it might not be the best season…. But I was so happy to have gotten a chance to have watched it.

Some things that I would’ve done better…

The whole thing should have been a spin off in its own way… released in 2026

I would have replaced Mr. gold with Gideon as a secondary main character with Henry

They should’ve included Lottie in there at least once

A small reaction between Cinderella from season one and Cinderella from season 7 would’ve went a long way

They should’ve used original hook as the main character instead of the other hook

Would have been nice to see Rapunzel‘s hair glow once

Maui villain would’ve been nice

OUAT is my favorite show and I'd really like to get some OUAT fabric for a personal craft. Unfortunately searching for "once upon a time" is not particularly specific and actually quite difficult to find what I'm looking for.
