Everyone in Storybrooke is afraid of the infamous gunslinger Mr. Gold. Saloon-girl Belle sees things differently.

Everything he did his whole life up to that point was for love, and it always blew up in his face. He gave the magic bean to his father so they could have a good life together, and was abandoned for it. He crippled himself to be there for his son in the way his own father never was, and his wife loathed him for it. He sold the life of his unborn, unconceived child (who he thought would never exist because of his wife’s aforementioned loathing) to save his son, and it just cemented her hatred. He took the Dark One Curse to save his son’s life again, which led to their ultimate separation.

Everything he did after that point was a game of 4-D chess to get his son back. Every deal he made, every price he demanded, every person he cheated - all of it was done for love. Even the one time he faltered - when he let himself fall for Cora - was for love. To have a wife and a daughter. And, as usual, it blew up in his face.

There was only one deal he made prior to Regina’s casting of the dark curse that wasn’t motivated by love. One deal that was made out of petty selfishness. And that was the deal that brought love back into his life.

The Asphodel are stunning flowers that grow in thin tubes on the steam with six petals of a gorgeous white, yellow, or pink colour. 

Rest

After a long day of fighting, Aidon comes home to newly adopted Cerberus whining for nourishment, so he grabs a small flask of water and pours it out for him.

Technically not in the book, but this was a little idea that kept pestering me and I had to paint it. I figured his helm and sword would be made of reinforced obsidian, hence the blackness of the metal.

A huge thank you to all who came out to Ignitions Slutty Prom Fundraiser this past weekend. '

The whole evening was a blur of fire, friends, and fantastical fashion, dancing our way to dawn and I couldn't feel more fortunate for the experience.

Thank you to the whole crew for making it happen, and here's to many more festivities to come. ❤️

With Ash Steele (This was our first time breathing together for a show and I couldn't have asked for a better partner..^^)
