The curse couldn’t have been cast without him going to the land without magic.

Emma wouldn’t have ever gone to Storybrooke, let alone had Henry in the first place.

If Regina had never been able to cast the curse and adopted Henry, she might’ve spent the rest of her life sad and in pain.

Hook never would’ve gotten out of Neverland and gone on to even be with Emma. 

Neal was the heart of the show. Once Upon a Time has three protagonists: Emma Swan, Regina Mills, and Rumpelstiltskin. Three characters who are all parents that would do anything and everything for their children. Three characters who, whether they realize it or not, are all connected to Henry and, tangentially, Neal. With Neal in the picture, we saw Gold get his redemption, Regina finds her happily ever, Emma is reunited with her family. When Neal died, he took the heart and soul of Once Upon a Time with him. 

Things that you SHOULD NOT deadname

Trans women

Trans men

Non binary people

Any other trans identity that doesn’t fit into those three

Cis people who changed their name

Anyone who goes by a different name then the one their parents gave them regardless of how “good” of a person they are, or your personal feeling towards them

Things that you SHOULD deadname

Rest in peace to the incredible Anthony Stewart Head (20th February 1954 - 1st June 2026)
