Man, has tumblr/twitter/all the rest of the internet that I don't understand pulled everyone away from livejournal, or have I just been away so long that half of the comms I watched went dead

Oh man, I have so many feelings about Milah. Yes, leaving her kid behind was bad, but I don't think she ever would have gotten married or had a kid if she hadn't been forced to. A lot of people seemed to like the 'well, her leaving was fine but she should have brought Bael with her' argument. But it was pretty clear that he was much closer to his dad, so if you think about it as her choosing which parent to split him from (and where would be better for him to grow up) I think she made the 'best' decision. I know that doesn't excuse it, but it makes it a lot more understandable.

And I love her a lot for her face, her swagger, and how she wanted so badly to go off on adventures and woo all the ladies in all the lands once she got out of her Hook phase.

But all-lady adventure/bonding time with Snow, Emma, Aurora and Mulan (omg the second datingest couple on the show) was so much fun! And I was still happy as long as Regina's perfect face showed up on my tv, regardless of where she was. BUT NOW THEY ARE BACK AND REGINA HAD FEELINGS LEAKING OUT OF HER EYES. Her face should not be able to make me that upset.

I mean I think she was probably a severely depressed individual so of course she couldn't be the kind of mother to her son that she should have been, and if that's the reason then of course it wasn't her fault, but I don't know it wasn't given a lot of time to develop so I didn't particularly have a lot of feelings for her.

Anyway I was super into Mother-Daughter Team Building in fairytale land for a couple of episodes but then I just wanted them home, I'm tired of people being separated IT'S BORING. I'm much more interested in, for instance, Snow and P-Charms learning how they relate to each other now that they've been apart for this long instead of just being apart all over again. Plus Emma had some great mom time but she barely knows her dad at all let's get some dad time up in here, I really want him to be an awkwardly supportive father.

Can't even talk about Regina's face. 2m2h.

Given that she was on screen for about five minutes, I probably have way too many feelings about it. I guess that is just what Rachel Chelley's face + pirate + excessive backlash does to me. lol.

I haven't really gotten the P-Charms appeal yet, but I can see him being very, very cute as the awkwardly supportive father. Maybe that will make him grow on me...
