I am literally as in love with the Charming/Rumpelstiltskin bromance as I am with Johnny/Tim. It’s like….PERFECT.

tricksandtreachery:

Oh my God my life is about these pictures now.

My theory about the whole Belle threatening to leave Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin because of his need for power is this:

Belle is kidnapped by Smee, who takes her to Captain Hook and locks her up. It could be a little like when Pintel and Ragetti kidnapped Elizabeth Swan and she tried to kill Captain Barbossa. Anywho, they send a ransom note to the two most obvious people: Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin and Sir Maurice/Moe French. They end up telling Charming/David about it, since he’s the new sheriff, so they all can work together to free Belle. And, somehow through all of this, Grumpy/Dreamy/Leroy learns about it and wants to help free Belle because she helped him understand his love for Nova/Astrid. In the end, Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin proves to Belle how much he’d do for her and the love they have for each other. I don’t know where Emma’s favor comes in, but it probably will have something to do with either Belle or Baelfire. Considering she’s “otherwise engaged”, it might not happen for awhile.

I just would love to see something like that.

Jennifer Morrison Talks Parenting 101

onceuponafanuk:

Jennifer Morrison recently chatted to The Huffington Post about season two of Once Upon A Time. A sample of the interview can be found below. Minor spoilers ahead.

We’ve seen from the various “Once Upon A Time” Season 2 trailers and clips that have been released that Snow and Charming are very eager to start parenting Emma again, but she’s less eager to be parented. Can you talk about how the dynamic has shifted between them?

It’s one of those things where Emma has spent her whole life looking for her parents, and some part of her believed she was never going to find them. I think oddly, to be completely honest, if she doesn’t find them then she doesn’t have to believe that they gave her up. She could then believe — not that she’d wish that upon anyone — that something terrible happened to them and maybe they weren’t around anymore and maybe that’s why she was given up so she doesn’t have to consider herself “abandoned.” When the reality of what you’ve been searching for all these years suddenly comes to light, there’s a tremendous amount of emotion and confusion that comes rushing in, and Emma is not an emotionally advanced person! [Laughs.] She’s definitely someone who has shut herself down in a lot of ways and wears her armor very thick, and doesn’t really have experience with handling emotions. So when she’s got a rush of feelings going on, her immediate response is to shut down or make a joke because she can’t handle it.

Snow and Charming are far more advanced emotionally — they weren’t raised in the foster system, they weren’t abandoned, they didn’t have to survive on their own, barely able to eat or function and do whatever they had to do to survive and end up in jail and all of these things that have happened to Emma! [Laughs.] They have a different capacity for handling emotion and she doesn’t have that. So it’s just going to be a process and it’s going to be a bit complicated for Emma to learn how to handle emotions, handle accepting that this is true, because it’s still an outrageous idea that your parents are Snow White and Prince Charming. She’s really trying, since she has all the proof that this is true, but even with all the proof, it’s still crazy. It’s definitely going to be a complicated process that’s going to be mixed with all sorts of things — sometimes her shutting down, sometimes her being super emotional, sometimes making a joke out of it. It really is the beginning of a journey with Emma learning to be a healthy person emotionally.

Emma and Mary Margaret were already very close, so how is their relationship going to evolve?

There’s a lot of fun in that, because they’ve been friends first, they’re the same age, and all of a sudden Mary Margaret wants to act like her mom, so Emma’s like “Woah, woah, woah — I’m the one who’s been taking care of you here, you need to chill out.” There’s definitely a lot of fun to be had there; we deal with some very serious stuff, but there’s also a sense of humor about the fact that Emma’s the one who’s been taking care of everyone in Storybrooke for the past few months, and she’s used to being the go-to person and suddenly Mary Margaret is all, “Oh no, I’m badass Snow White, I can handle it and I can take care of you,” and I’m like “Wait, what?” So there’s definitely some very fun conflict that goes on there.

Breaking news: Once Upon a Time‘s Emma Swan is Alice in Wonderland — or at least she will feel like she is as Season 2 opens with the Storybrooke residents newly aware of their true identities, and just as Mr. Gold aka Rumplestiltskin has brought magic to town.

“The world is upside-down for Emma,” Jennifer Morrison shared on the red carpet at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, where Once was nominated for Visual Effects, Costumes and Prosthetic Make-up. “Not that she is Alice in Wonderland, but in a sense she feels like Alice, who’s gone down the rabbit hole. Up is down, down is up, left is right…. Her whole world is shaken up, and she’s sort of a new being.”

Of course, many fans of the ABC series — which was last season’s highest-rated freshman drama — want to skim over such mind-benders and focus on the sure-to-be-aww-some reunion between Snow, the Prince and their long-lost daughter. But that family get-together, Morrison cautions with a laugh, is “complicated,” for a number of reasons. (As Once cocreator Adam Horowitz says in our Fall Preview Q&A, “After the experiencing the initial joy of finding her parents, Emma struggles as she learns how to be parented.”)

Besides, Emma is till focused on the youngest member of the Charming clan, young Henry, whose life she saved in the season finale with a peck filled with love. With Regina/Evil Queen now exposed and magic ostensibly within her grasp, “[Emma] has to find a way protect her son and her relationships with her family, and figure out how to move forward without being so [emotionally] guarded.”

Speaking of emotions: Somewhere amidst all the mayhem, might Emma in Season 2 find time for romance? Morrison “can’t say” if Jamie Dornan will or will not be back as the Huntsman/Sheriff Graham, but asserts, “There’s definitely romance coming” for the former bail bondswoman.

But is magic coming for her, as well as for everyone else? “It’s going to be a long process of discovery,” the actress hints. “In trying to keep everyone safe and trying to figure out what [magic returning] means for the world, you’re going to start to discover the sorts of things that she’s capable of — and she’s going to discover that, too.”
