Heroes. Villains. New Worlds. Adventure. Love.

"A hundred episodes…this is an awful lot of work to get a cake. Think it was worth it."
♥ Adam Horowitz, Speech at 100th Episode Party

"And now, 100 episodes later, we’ve been in Storybooke and we’ve been everywhere else from Wonderland to Neverland…from Arendelle to Oz and we can’t wait to see where we go next…"
♥ Channing Dungley (New President of ABC), Speech at 100th episode party

"What we found out was that not only miraculously, a self consciously, an uncynical show about hope found an audience, but a pretty big one. And a pretty rabid and devoted fan base that you saw as you saw on your way in tonight. And not just on ABC, but in 200 countries around the world where the work of so many people in this room is seen every week. It is startling. It is humbling. Honestly, it’s pretty awesome."
♥ Eddie Kitsis, Speech at 100th Episode Party

"When I first started watching OUAT, my country had just suffered a horrible attack that shook us all and I had lost people I knew and liked. In those early years, OUAT reminded me to have hope, and helped reaffirm my belief that when terrible things happen, it is possible to move on, to still be kind and compassionate, to do the best you can. It gave me one of my favorite love stories ever, namely Snow and Charming, and so many complex and complicated characters with a wide variety of relationships. And over the years, OUAT has led me to find friends that mean a lot to me. I will always be grateful for that."

"I love the show since the very beginning, I fell in love with Emma Swan since the moment she walked in into the restaurant, and watching her story unfold during the seasons, my highlights of Sundays and now its turning 100 and I'm so excited to join the cast for the rest of the journey starting with this amazing celebration."

♥ CityGal
"The moment Emma Swan wished upon a star and blew out that solitary candle, I knew I was invested in her happy ending. Every story, every character, and every twist brought excitement and continues to draw me in weekly. Once Upon A Time is my happy show. The weekly struggle of good vs evil, adventures, and watching various characters fall in love, with all its complexities, continues to capture my heart. From the gorgeous costumes, breathtaking cinematography, and stunning locations, this show is a weekly feast that adds to my fascination of an epic new fairytale journey unfolding weekly. I'm looking forward to the next 100 episodes - to discover new twists and adventures, that hopefully leads to series ending 'happily ever after'. Hope, Magic and True Love. Everything I love about Once."

I wanted to offer to anyone that is interested ... if you like my icon Christine posted the ones I made in the OP but it's pretty easy to make so if anyone wants a custom one with a special scene then send me a PM by Friday with the screencap or the description of the scene and I can make it for you!
