➟ The characters ♥

Regina Mills [The Evil Queen]
The Queen, often referred to as the Evil Queen or the Wicked Queen, is a fictional character and
the main antagonist in "Snow White", a fairy tale set in the German countryside, recorded by the
Brothers Grimm; similar stories are also known to exist in other countries. Other versions of the
Queen appear in "Snow White" derivative works, and the character has also became an archetype
for unrelated works of fiction.

In Once Upon A Time, Regina, the Evil Queen, has been called the enemy of happy endings. Here
is a woman with a will to power so dark that she destroyed an entire world just to exact revenge
on her enemies. Once, though, there was a time when Regina longed for her own happy ending, when
she would have given up all the power in the land for the love of a simple stable boy. But when her
mother murdered him, Regina’s heart died with her betrothed. Dedicating her life to the practice of
dark magic, the Queen thought she would never be capable of love again. Something unexpected
happened, though, when she adopted Henry in Storybrooke: the heart she thought she had lost began
to return. The one truly good thing in her life, Regina would do anything for her son. - ABC

Robin Hood
Robin Hood was a character of medieval ballads which were told or sung by wandering minstrels.
In a time where only members of the nobility or clergy could read, the ballads were meant as performance
literature for both the commoners and the court; therefore, as in many folktales of the oral tradition,
the Robin Hood stories were a constant re-creation, continually adapted and changed by the minstrels
who performed them.

In Once Upon a Time, Robin Hood shows bravery and cockiness both in daring to enter the castle
to steal from the Dark One as well as his flippant responses to Rumplestiltskin: “Well, then, I’ll
stick to what I know works,” and “Shouldn’t be a problem. An arrow fired from this bow always
finds its target. Don’t you just love magic?” He exudes the swashbuckling air that is synonymous
with his character in both literary and film interpretations. The Robin Hood of Once Upon a Time is
true to literary character form as a swashbuckling, daring, silver-tongued outlaw, bedecked in forest
green leather, cloak, and bow and quiver and leaning against a tree in Sherwood Forest, a thief with
a noble heart. - Once Upon A Fan

SEAN MAGUIRE

"He has essentially fallen in love with her."

"I think Robin and Regina bonded over the fact that he can see that
she once was somebody, and she's in the process of changing into
somebody new, somebody better, and Robin has a pretty dark past himself."

"The course of true love never runs smooth."

"These two are different in appearance, but they are very similar
when you look deeper. They’re both single parents that lost the love
of their lives. They are strong leaders who don’t scare easily.
And you’ll see, when they are together, there’s an clear attraction
between the two characters."

"Sometimes i think opposites attract. I think it's just a raw, passionate,
fiery thing. The moment Robin meets Regina he's kinda like „Um...alright“.
And that's how i'm playing it. Just this raw, physical attraction. And they
grow and get to know each other."

"I think with Robin and Regina it's just an organic thing that just happens
sometimes. You bump into somebody then all of a sudden you are smitten.
And it's kind of almost a love at first sight."

"I think we [Robin, Regina, Roland, Henry] would be a nice little family."

LANA PARRILLA

"I feel like Marian's going to have to find a new man."

"All i can say is that pixie dust never lies."

"It's written in the stars."

"He's her soulmate. True love? Both?"

"Regina and Robin are destined to be together."

"I will say with all that’s going on, when in the world can “new love” begin?
Well, that is just what happens here with Regina and Robin Hood. That
amongst all the chaos there is always room for love. Their relationship
slowly develops over time and it’s quite entertaining to watch."

"She does have love, and when she loves she loves very deeply, you see
that with Henry and you also see it with Robin."

"I think having a soulmate or when you are destined to be with someone
is very unique. I do think there's only one soulmate for Regina, and i do
think it's Robin Hood."

"Regina's love has to be very manly, and Robin Hood is that."

Thanks for the new thread.

phoenix_shine · 11-10-2014, 03:39 PM

woah, how long was I on my cloud???

new thread already!! Thanks hun!!

In regards to Marian's state, seeing that Ingrid's magic is different than Elsa's, had the curse touched her heart she would be immediately shattered and dead, like what happened to the SQ's sister. With Elsa's power, Anna was hit straight in the heart, but started freezing slowly till she froze completely. She wasn't going to shatter to pieces, she would remain a frozen statue, had it not been for her act of true love. So I'm guessing that it will be something of the context of the term "act of true love" but a bit different. That's why I think that Robin and Regina working together will figure out the solution without needing to defeat the SQ.

Darley1101 · 11-10-2014, 03:41 PM

Thank you for the new thread! It looks wonderful!

Which flashbacks are you referencing, Darley?

The ones from the s1 finale, when she touched the book and then believed?!

Quote:

With the act of true love, I honestly don't feel like it is going to come from Roland. It will probably come from something, or someone, unexpected. Such as the breaking of the mirror releases all those who have been cursed by the Snow Queen? I don't know. I just don't think it is going to be as simple as Roland suddenly recalling the love Marian had for him as a baby. Maybe it is that simple, but I don't think it will be. If it were they would have tried that by now, I am sure. It is something big. Something to do with the next episode.

So far they have left Roland out of it so I also feel it is unlikely that they are going down a TLK path with him.

The simple recourse could be the ultimate defeat of the SQ and breaking any curse her magic had power over.

If they find a way to revive Marian in the next episode, which is 2 hours, perhaps Will has some valuable information that he will share with Robin Hood.

Quote:

I have never found Snow and Charming's relationship to be adolensent. Quite the opposite really. Yes, it has a romantic feel to it as it took place in the Enchanted Forest. I have always felt that Snow was just one of those overly optomistic people who look for the positive in everything, and that spills over into her relationship since, to some degree, David is the same way. With Robin and Regina, it is different. You have two people who aren't neccessarily positive, in fact Regina is more of a half glass empty kind of girl, trying to have a relationship in modern times. You throw in the kink of his "dead" wife showing back up and its bound to get messy. I want to be very clear on the fact that I do NOT like adultery and, for me, I do classify what they are doing right now (kissing so far as we know) does fall into that area. That being said, I think it was done so there could be a real obstacle for them. Like I said before, they haven't really made Marian an obstacle. I think they will be their own obstacle. The feelings of guilt, which I am sure are coming...

I think if we are lucky, then maybe we will at least get a reaction or a moment of reflection that acting on any of their feelings right now is a mistake. Everything with Marian needs to be resolved first. This is just my worst fears speaking here, but I really do not want this to continue down some forbidden road of romance where Robin & Regina continue to see each other, give into their feelings, before and after Marian is brought back from the curse.

Those would be the ones. Another poster had said she thought they were Emma's memories, but I always thought they were just flashbacks and her believing what the book said...

Absolutely!

The big question, tho: Which of the dozens of gif sets dedicated to that scene do we use?

phoenix_shine · 11-11-2014, 08:17 AM

lmao!!!!!

It depends! I'd always go with something made by Zsazsa, but there are soooooooooo many gifsets in tumblr that we have lots of choices!! So, I'm open to any suggestions, as long as that kiss gets to be on that OP forever on!!

Ah, okay. Yeah, it has been awhile since I have seen the flashback sequences and what they specifically were but I think I remember thinking at the time that the book's magical properties is what was providing the information to Emma. So they were not necessary her memories per say. I could be wrong, though. But I think her love for Henry, and her drive to save him, is what made the book open to her because Henry was the believer in the book and its stories.

Lol - sorry, I know that is off topic but just wanted to respond to it.

Lovely article with a bunch of new Lana quotes concerning the developments in 4x07:

Quote:

'Once Upon a Time': True love's flame still burns bright for Regina
"When it's true love, you fight for it every day." That's what Will Scarlett tells Robin Hood in the Sunday's (Nov. 9) episode of "Once Upon a Time" and the advice resonates in a way that Scarlett probably doesn't expect -- knowing that Robin Hood is still married to Marian.

However, what this episode proves is that, despite Regina's protests, the bond between herself and Robin is stronger than ever.

"I really enjoy seeing the more sensual, sexual side of [Regina], like when she's in love with Robin Hood. You don't see that often," Lana Parrilla explains to Zap2it during a visit to the "Once Upon a Time" set. "We've seen her vulnerable, but this is attractive and it's womanly. We don't see that enough."

Fans were definitely able to see that side of Regina when Robin returns to her after Scarlett's romantic speech even the Evil Queen can't resist giving in.

The two share a passionate reunion that has to go down as one of "OUAT's" most heated kisses. It turns out that trying to be the better person has worked in Regina's favor.

"[Robin and Henry] are two people that see her for who she now is and she never wants to be seen as the evil in their eyes," Parrilla explains. "It is the power of love. If she were to revert back to her old ways she would lose both and then she's alone. She's already been alone for too long."

With Robin proving that they are unable to stay away from each other, it will become even more imperative for Regina to track down the author of the "Once Upon a Time" stories. Once she finds him, she'll have to decide how to convince him to write her a happy ending. It's an encounter that Parrilla is also excited to see happen.

"I think that maybe when she gets there, it'd be interesting if she decided not to do anything because the story the way it's been written has shaped who's she's become," Parrilla hypothesizes. "These are questions I have myself but I don't ask because they are questions [the producers] would never give me answers to!"

Source

@Chris: I was thinking about using one of Zsazsa's sets too. I'll look into it.
