mum: 'the one that looked like antoni from queer eye'

mum. mother. maaaama. DO YOU MEAN NICKY??

Yeah, I'd rather be a lover than a fighter

'Cause all my life, I've been fighting

Never felt a feeling of comfort

All this time, I've been hiding

And I never had someone to call my own, oh nah

I'm so used to sharing

Love only left me alone

But I'm at one with the silence

I found peace in your violence

Can't tell me there's no point in trying

I'm at one, and I've been quiet for too long

Or, if The Old Guard were characters in Once Upon A Time.

Obviously, these two universes are very different so they’re not exact matches but... 🤷‍♂️ I like to compare my favourite things

David Nolan | Joe

Love their partners and would do anything for them

Met their partners through fighting (granted, Snow and David didn’t kill each other but that’s neither here nor there)

Best hair of any characters (no, I do not take criticism)

Sword!

Cutest smile (again, I don’t take criticism)

Underrated wit

✨soft✨

CHARMING AF (pun of course intended)

Is the fashionable one in the couple (I don’t care if you don’t think David is fashionable, I want his shirts okay? That’s makes him fashionable in my book)

Dramatic entrances on point!

Snow White | Nicky

True Love is David so of course Nicky is going to be Snow

Long ranged attack weapon is their speciality but can and will use other weapons

It’s all about the ✨hope✨

More reserved/quieter than their true love

Just as inspiring and loving as their true love

If you hurt the people they love, you better be prepared for the consequences!

Kindess is their middle names

If Nicky had the time, I fully believe he would’ve been able to talk any of his captors into friendship

Certainly have regrets but use it as a source of strength to fight the good fight

Sweetest smile

If they can help, feel it is their duty to do so

Emma Swan | Andy

Badass 1st, human being 2nd

Main character (bit of a cop out point but still, they are)

Tired of fighting

Memories = suffering 😔

Has a strong relationship with Henry/Nile that is part of the reason they are still fighting

Will do what’s right, even if they’re done with this shitty world

Have both been bounty hunters

✨Sarcasm✨

Have both been inspired and exasperated by their youngling (Henry/Nile) at some point

I need to stress that I do not see Joe and Nicky as Andy's parents in any way, I just think she has the strongest characteristics with Emma out of anyone in OUAT

Emma is The Saviour and Andy saves people

Spent a long time in their lives believing they were alone

Betrayed by someone they love

Trust issues 👍

Henry Mills | Nile

Nile has strong beliefs and Henry is known as The Truest Believer

The babies

A sense that they need to prove themselves? Perhaps. Shows everyone they are capable? Absolutely!

Eager to learn from the people around them

Headstrong, Clever, Resourceful

Successfully rescued their families

✨nerd✨

One of the first things Henry wanted to be taught was sword fighting. I shall not be convinced that Nile doesn't want to be able to sword fight too

I reckon Nile would enjoy naming the team’s missions

Jefferson | Booker

Depressed bastards

Would rather be in any other situation than the one they're in

Has to live with the grief of losing their children (even though Jefferson's daughter is still alive, he is cursed to watch her live happily without him knowing she may not forgive him for leaving her)

Neck related trauma (Jefferson got his head cut off and Booker's first death was via hanging)

So very tired

Kidnaps Snow/gets Joe Nicky captured before doing the same to Emma/Andy

Gets screwed over by the person he thought was helping/he was helping (Regina leaves Jefferson in Wonderland & Merrick decides he wants all of TOG in his lab)

I know there's a point about Henry/Nile and these two guys but I don't know what it is yet

Feel free to use

Joe

Nicky

Booker
