This... Makes So Much Sense.

This... makes so much sense.  

When “Broken” first aired, I assumed (as I believe the audience was supposed to) that Emma was able to jumpstart Regina’s magic because she was the Savior/child of True Love/etc. And, as such, I assumed that Regina thought the same.

Except, she’s surprised that Emma has magic in “The Cricket Game”. She had no idea that Emma could use magic, and between the episodes there is no indication to Regina that Emma was able to do anything magical (e.g., she doesn’t know about Cora trying for her heart). 

So when Emma says she can use magic, she’s shocked. And you can see when it clicks that it’s because she’s the Savior. Only, this implies that she’d come to another conclusion about how she was able to get the hat to work in “Broken”. A conclusion that has nothing to do with Emma being the Savior, but rather Emma being Emma.

This means that Regina had assumed that her magic was kickstarted solely by Emma touching her.

And, as we all know by now (as does Regina), magic is emotion. So Regina had not only assumed that Emma’s touch had brought about her own magic, but she had accepted that Emma’s touch brought forth emotion strong enough to power a damn portal.

Are medical professionals biased against the mentally ill?

I watched Maleficent last night

Now I must resign myself to yet another OTP.  Oddly, while the thought of a young woman with an older, presumably ageless, fairy woman does not in the least gross me out the thought of the same young woman with a raven or a young man she met for all of five minutes does.  The things I learn about myself.

Really I just keep thinking about three things.  

Firstly, Maleficent only refers to her parents as her parents, not her mother and father.  Does this mean fairies are capable of producing offspring regardless of gender?  Does this mean their gender is fluid? 

Secondly, I love the Lana Del Rey version of Once Upon a Dream.  I find it humorous that after every time Aurora visited the Moors Maleficent floated her back to her bed.  Suggesting to me that Aurora would wake up each time half wondering if her visit to the Moor with Maleficent was a dream.

Thirdly, did I just plain miss the title sequence at the beginning of movie?  Cause I really can't remember seeing "Maleficent" in big letters across the scene until the end of the movie.

She says she has met some nice people and she’s never bored.

"The City Council announces the opening of a new dog park at the corner of Earl and Sommerset, near the Ralph’s. They would like to remind everyone that dogs are not allowed in the dog park. People are not allowed in the dog park. It is possible that you will see hooded figures in the dog park. DO NOT APPROACH THEM. DO NOT APPROACH THE DOG PARK. The fence is electrified and highly dangerous. Try not to look at the dog park, and, especially, do not look for any period of time at the hooded figures. The dog park will not harm you."
