Can we just talk about this for a minute? So this wonderful woman who we have seen slaughter thousands and hunt down mercilessly Snow White over her true love, took him to Dr. Frankenstein to try and bring him back from the dead. This woman who had to marry her uncle someone the same age as her father (if not older) and was forced to be queen. Who cast a curse that took everyone to a land without magic and stole away everyone’s happy endings for 28 years all over Daniel, and because she believes no one could ever love her again. 

Look at how she cracks, he is back and alive and David wants to shoot him and just look at how this strong, tough woman who never lets others see her vulnerable. Look at her as she falls apart and just loses her mind over trying to protect her love, save Daniel. Everything she has ever wanted and she doesn’t even care he may be a monster now. Regina has powerful magic and she could use it to force David away but she’s not Regina now. She’s the young girl who watched helplessly as Cora crushed her fiancee’s heart and all she can do is pound her fists desperately at David, tugging, pleading. Let me talk to my fiancée. 

It has been countless decades since Daniel died but everything that has pushed down and repressed rips through her with the return of Daniel. How can you see this and still say that Regina is just evil, this gif alone is proof to the PTSD she suffered untreated throughout the majority of her life. 

I mean sure David had heard stories from Snow about what Regina used to be like; the woman she was when she saved Snow’s life.

But can we blame the man for not truly believing it? All he has ever seen first hand (prior to this) is Regina trying to get his true love’s head on a silver platter.

But now he has seen the Regina Snow spoke of. The innocent young girl who dreamed of true love. The young girl who had that stolen from her.

Regina is someone who always has a “face” on. An act as if she’s bulletproof, unshakeable and David has now seen through to her vulnerabilities.

David will never look at Regina the same, because now she is someone (to him) who needs to be protected. David is the only one besides Robin which wasn’t until recently who has seen Regina vulnerable.

I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. the top gif I mean but I don’t want to ruin the moment And a preemptive You’re welcome because I’m sure you are all going to thank me for pointing this out :)
