After how many babies were stolen or attempted to be stolen, and how many poor womans pregnancies got accelerated, they must be super overprotective of pregnant women in Storybrooke. Like security detail and shit, taste tester to make sure their drinks or food while going out arent spiked with nefarious potion
If Snow ever has another kid she and Charming would definitely be super vigilant at all times, like ptsd levels of surveillance
Expanding on that
I wonder if Snow has PTSD from pregnancy/child labor. Because with Emma and Neal 2's births, they were under extremely distressing external circumstances, and she had both of her newborns taken from her
Ik they touch on that lightly in the show, with nightmares, and her reactions to things, but i wonder how bad it is for her like behind the scenes with charming
Oh and Charming
Love his arc where he feels incompetent as a parent, and a protector
Especially in a world where men are sold as protectors, whereas the women are caretakers. Like he definitely has self worth tied to that as we see which is a yikes
I cant remember the exact episode im talking about?? But i swear im not pulling shit out of my ass
And im a strong believer that if they had another daughter theyd name her Ruby
The R coming from David's parents Ruth and Robert, the name obviously coming from Red cause im watching earlier seasons and SNOW AND REDS BOND WAS TIGHT they were like THIS π€ AND WE ARE ROBBED FOR THE REST OF THE SHOW
And also ha, ha, another color name
And as for why they didnt name Emma Ruby? I get the vibe that Snow slways found this name pretty since she named her so early on in the pregnancy, and she was younger and less idk i wanna say thoughtful? Or maybe less wise? So they didnt put a shit ton of meaning into the name, like Neal
Or maybe after Neal they gained a new appreciation for baby names after other people. Tho then again she DID wanna name Neal Leopold after her shitbag father
Oop who said that
That is a WHOLE other rant haha...
Anyhoo im on my uh....... who even knows anymore im FAR in the double digits of rewatches. On season 2 rn
Ok despite its flaws, season 2 is GOATED
Deserves more appreciation
Also a lil confession... i didnt really like the Neverland arc, ESPECIALLY Rumplestiltskin's arc within it
