[wild sage growing]

Those hours are crawling, Sherry.

[Captivating]

Thanks for the new thread, LC. I'm off to church. When I return, it shall be time for the ROBIN CENTRIC episode!!!!

[Maggie_R]

TFTNT Holy cow I can't believe how fast we go through threads!! haha Is this like the 2nd or 3rd one this week??

[phoenix_shine]

Oy!!!!!!!!! I said I would go out for a while and look at you, finishing the thread just like that!!!!!!!! I'm so proud of our team!!!

LC, you started opening threads and now there's no stopping ya!!

[wild sage growing]

Jazzed up the OP a bit. Let me know what you guys think!

[GrhmLz]

I the picture selection of Lana in the pink dress! She looks nice in that color.

Tftnt.

[wild sage growing]

Pinks and reds are totally her colors.

[GrhmLz]

So, I guess according to the new press release for the next episode, Regina is probably going to use Belle against Rumple as leverage, huh?

[sherry02]

I'm wondering if she and Belle could be working together. I doubt Belle feels any real sense of loyalty to Rumple right now and she and Robin were friends, so I could absolutely see Belle going along with a plan to help Robin.

[wild sage growing]

Meh. Even if that does happen, it doesn't bother me at all, tbh. Like yes, Belle is a total innocent and doesn't deserve to be treated like that (being Rumple's love interest makes her a sitting duck, sadly), but Regina is never going to be the type of character who hesitates from protecting her loved ones at all costs. If Henry or Robin (or even Snow, I'd say) are threatened, she's not going to shy away from using dark magic to protect them:



It's kind of just what does, and it's what makes her such a compelling and complicated character.

Other characters who would probably or have already done the same:
1. Rumple
2. Emma
3. Snow
