Exactly! :D and ooh, what's the Secret Santa for? Is it fic or icons, or other? I'm avoiding the ouat tag a lot as well, especially in the weekends right before episodes (as I don't watch them until Monday evening). I tend to scroll quickly past whenever there is something like that, but I have been spoiled for some stuff. I also couldn't resist seeing the promo for 2x09 today and ohmyfuckinggod!!. So excited. But they're taking a winter break now :( :(
I was on the 'official' ouatwiki (I have a thing for reading the random trivia for the episodes and such) and in Aurora's info it said: Status: Alive (heart taken by Cora). So if she's still being classified as alive (just zombiefied/put under someones thrall) then there is definitely hope! I liked Aurora from the start (because Sarah is a queen) and she's grown so much on me and we haven't even seen her and Mulan hug or anything and I want them to be epic BFFs forever :( :(
But I feel the same way about Rumple - what's going to happen when he finds Bae? If Bae is really Neal, then after all this time - and knowing that Rumple has hurt thousands of people in just trying to get to him - how can he accept him just like that? There's so much pain and hurt, and if Bae really is all grown-up and not still a child then its going to be much harder I think. And it is such a delicate balance - if Rumple didn't have Belle, and if Regina didn't have Henry, then they would have no substantial reason for trying to be better, and it is so horribly easy to take those touchstones away from them :(
