she will definitely want revenge and with breaking up OQ she hit two birds with one stone . - so thats definitely a possibility. and if she would me marian and vise versa that at least would mean they would not be adding MORE characters to an already HUGE cast lol

Can't you guys just see the epic reveal? Marian transforming into Maleficent and cackling as she uses Regina's season one words against her, "Love is weakness." Cue her going on and on about having to show her "friend" Regina that Robin made her pathetic and left her in the dust rather quickly for his dead wife.

What i don't like about this is that they'd have to make Robin completely clueless and blinded with love and respect for Marian not to realize it's not really her.

Also if he were to leave her, he would do it because she's not his Marian, making it seem if she was he would be with her until death and would never go back to Regina.

Hi, can I be added please? I follow this thread (the three OQ threads actually lol) since August and read all of them, but I was a little bit shy to talk, but a lovely OQ shipper (where are you? ) on Tumblr convinced me to come and post, so I did

So to be honest, I stopped watching the show after season 1 because of the mess they had done with August, but this year, some people I follow on Tumblr were OQ shippers and I just kept seeing stuff of them over and over again and because of the gifsets I was pretty attracted to their relationship, so I catched up on August and I was hooked, I mean, their bond is so beautiful, seeing a "stranger" understanding her that well, and being able to help her when she needed it or comforting her when she had doubts, I don't know, their relationship is so fascinating to me, and I know that no one proved it on the show but I'd love to see that soulmate bond, you know, the fact that you can feel the other if he/she is in pain or happy or in danger and all that stuff, plus, seeing Regina so happy was adorable, so it was amazing to see her like that but I knew deep down that it wouldn't last but I wasn't expecting THAT kind of obstacle, I was shocked and pissed off and I was keep thinking (and I still do) "how they're going to fix that?", so I thought, they're going to kill her or she's going to be Kathryn 2.0 but MM is not Regina so I can't picture her being "okay" with her around even if Robin ends up choosing her, so I thought, and it's probably crazy, that she is Maleficent in disguise when I learned she was coming back but one way or another, I'm sure these two adorable soulmates will get back to each other at some point, I have faith

It depends, he still can choose Regina before the big revelation of Marian being Maleficent (if there's one), he still can choose her because he can't live without her, because he loves her too much and it kills him to be away from her. Sean was saying something like "when you're in love, you're in love", so he still can change his mind.

Yes, and I'm still not too happy with the fact that Socha was made a regular before Sean, but I like to think he already is, unofficially. I remember a cast member of TWD saying she was a regular but it was made official one season later, so I'm assuming it could be the same thing for OUAT?

Me neither, hated the fact that he was and sean not but i hope you are right snd he will be promoted this seasons. If not i might cry loool

Haha that "lovely OQ shipper" on tumblr is me I was telling you that we're all friendly here and I am so glad you're posting here now Yay!

And wow that's a long post, but I am with you on that. I love their bond, and I really adore them being known as soulmates. That's who they are. And as far as I know they're the only ones on the show who have been called soulmates.
But yes I do believe they're gonna get back together eventually. I just hope it doesn't take too long.

Yes, this would make a lot of sense as to how the reveal could come about. If Robin were to leave "Marian" then the revenge plan has failed and the villian Maleficent (or Zelena) could reveal themselves. I do think they could be in danger if this is the case though. Let's say Robin didn't leave "Marian", do you think Maleficent/Zelena is planning to live married to Robin indefinitely? Nope. She's planning to kill him. Dun, dun, dun!

if they take the "slow burn" route, it'll probably take the whole season to get them back together, but filled with sexual tension and angst (I love angst so I'm all for it tbh)
