Rowena's an auntie! Bet that makes her feel old lol

I imagine she walks into Emma and Killian kissing all the time and is just so done with them both

Rowena, upon meeting Killian: A brother?

Upon meeting Liam I: TWO brothers?!

Upon meeting Liam II: THREE BROTHERS?!

Upon meeting Rogers: FOUR BROTHERS!?!

She is so done with curses lmao. Love that image of Hailee, it cracks me up

[ouatnextgen]

The merrymen: How do we know you weren't involved with what Will did (referring to when he ratted on them).

Warren: Uh...

Rowena: Oh, that's easy! We were in Wonderland together.

The merrymen: How do we know we can take your word for it?

Tempest: Because she wasn't the only one with him? We *gestures to Silver, Kiran, and Pen* were also with him?

Silver: Yeah. We were there for like, two days?

David: You were where for how long???!

Pen: Wonderland. Keep up.

Kiran: But yeah, if you don't believe us you can go to the pawn shop and find his wanted poster. And you could go ask the Mad Hare because he surely remembers the person who burned his house down.

David: What?!

Robin: Warren!

Warren: It wasn't me!

Rowena: Man, I really like burning asshole's houses down when drunk, huh? *notices everyone looking at her* What? No one died?

Killian *getting flashbacks to when he burned the peagus flag* uh ..

(This is the second time or third time this has happened).

Ha!

Though, in the Merry Men's defense, even if Warren hadn't actually been in Wonderland at that time, the team would still 100% vouch for him and say he was.

And why does Killian keep being surprised that the sister he adopted acts just like him???

[ouatnextgen]

Aris, following Rowena during the wicked witch fiasco: TALK TO ME!

Rowena, ignoring him: Hi, Killian, what's up?

Killian: who's that?

Rowena, realizing that Aris didn't stop like she hoped: uh, that's my... rival...Sria.

Killian, too distracted to see through the lie: why's he following you?

Rowena: He's just mad I won a competition he's not but he was just leaving. Don't mind him.

Aris: what? No I'm-

Rowena *elbows him hard when Killian isn't looking* Say, brother of mine, I think I saw Blackbeard at port-

(Meanwhile, the merrymen and 'Team Hero' are just watching baffled. Killian is only paying half attention because he's thinking about the curse on his lips, etc, all while Warren is giving Aris a death glare that is making the merrymen think he's been replaced by Zelena).

Lmao yes. Real question is: who eventually spills the beans to Killian?

And follow up question: who stops Killian from gutting Aris with his hook?

[ouatnextgen]

Silver: But Tempest, Warren, and Killian? They'd buy me an ice cream.

Did some Cygnet Scholar AU designs with this dollmaker by @elequinoa!

First one is the Enchanted Forest au I'm working on, in which Hope grows up as the crown princess of Misthaven, spending her whole life preparing to take the crown someday, but when, by some miracle, her grandmother gives birth to a son (and, by the laws of their kingdom, passes the right to rule onto him,) she sets her sights on the nearest kingdom with an eligible crown prince her age: Prince Gideon, the son of Queen Belle. The only flaw in this plan? Prince Gideon's father is the powerful sorcerer Rumplestiltskin, longtime enemy of her father, and their kingdoms have ceased all trade and communication since before Princess Hope was even born. But, when Hope sets her mind to something, there’s little anyone can do to stop her, and she sneaks out of her castle on a secret diplomatic mission: to win the heart of Prince Gideon and find a place to rule on the throne of her father’s sworn enemy.

 "What did you say your name was?" Gideon asked.  "Hope," she said, then rolled her eyes a little, "Princess Hope. Of…."  "Misthaven," Gideon finished when she hesitated, "I was unaware you were in attendance this evening."  "And you are?" Hope asked, though he could tell she already knew.  "Prince Gideon," he said, with as much regality as he could, "of, well, here." He shrugged and gestured to the castle behind them, and heard her laugh a little.  "I guess someone's been studying interkingdom relations," she said.  "And from what I've heard," Gideon crossed his arms, "Misthaveners haven't been welcome in this kingdom since your father took the throne."

Second is my ouat s7 rewrite in which Henry leads a quest of the next generation of heroes through the Enchanted Forest. Joining him are Hope, Gideon, and Robin Mills, along with CJ (Neal Nolan, aka Charming Junior) and Charlotte (oc, Snow and Charming's third child, a month older than Hope.) Hope's goal in this journey is to figure out her place in these stories she grew up hearing about, as well as honing her magical abilities. Gideon's sidequest, however, is to find a way to separate his father from the Dark One dagger, and maybe get to the bottom of the vivid nightmares he's been having.

"You ready for the Enchanted Forest?" Gideon asked. "The real question is," Hope said, with a smile, "is the Enchanted Forest ready for us?"

Third one's just for fun. It's the Hope Was Raised As A Pirate By Captain Hook AU that I came up with while working on these (not to be confused with my other two Hope is Pirate Adjacent AUs.)

Gideon had always been scared when talking to girls, and the fact that this one had a sword to his neck wasn't helping. "Now what?" Gideon asked. "Awww, that's cute." The blonde smiled. "Is this your first kidnapping? Let me explain, darling. This is the part where I bring you back to the ship." "And then?" "And then my father will handle things from there," she said, a twinkle in her crystal blue eyes, "but I should warn you, he always has such a temper when I bring a boy home with me. This time's different, though, of course." "And why's that?" "Didn't I tell you, Gideon?" she asked, then smiled as she watched the fear fall across his face, "that's right, I know who you are, Prince Gideon." "So you're taking me for ransom?" "Ransom?" she said, with half a giggle, "Captain Hook and his crew have never been in this business for ransom. We're more about the revenge business— and your family still has a score to settle."

Wonder what level of scrumping Emma's on?

Found a new hobby for the vks;

(Or is stealing from the evil queen a Hannah Hook only type of hobby, lol?).

[ouatnextgen]

Kiran: Last night, Rowena was babysitting her niece and nephew and Grace, and Henry picked up a potion of some kind someone left on a crate, and let me tell you...

Kiran: When Rowena yelled “Put that shit back!” so loud, you know what I did?

Pen: You put your own shit back, didn’t you?

Kiran: I put my own shit back.

Pen makes fun of him forever for that one.

She mentions it in their vows.

[ouatnextgen]

Lmao, yes. Silver ends up letting Rowena stay the whole day, and just sneaks her food under the counter.

She makes a pillow fort down there.

Halloween Costumes!

One Halloween, the Storybrooke gang decide to dress as the Disney versions of their parents.

This is the abomination culmination

Roland: Because this happens after Robyn learns the truth about what went down with Zelena and Robin, she's....not happy with her mom rn. So, Roland graciously decided to let Robyn be Robin Hood.

He decided to be his step/adoptive mom instead of his birth mom for a few reasons: 1) because it was less emotional for him, 2) so Regina wouldn't feel left out (Henry and Jacinda were doing a couples costume), and 3)...because the Evil Queen costume was way easier to find online.

He ends up slaying in it, obviously.

Alex: She knew she wanted to be Prince Charming right away, even though her mother protested.

They put their hair up using a million bobby pins and about two cans of hairspray, and adjusted the outfit to fit their boobs. They were also the one who made adjustments to everyone else's costumes to make sure they fit.

Leo: He was uncomfortable wearing and dress, so he went with Prince Florian. David offered him one of his old Enchanted Forest outfits, to which Leo had to explain that the cheap costumes were what made it fun.

The costume had the downside of coming with a pair of very cheap and tight tights. PJ seemed to like them, though

PJ: Picked out his dress on September 1st. He rocks both it, and the shitty felt crown headband it came with.

Robyn: Could not find a single commercially available fox Robin Hood costume. So, she bought a Peter Pan one, and had Alex make some adjustments.

She slapped on a fox tail and a different Robin Hood hat, and called it. (On the bright side, she and Alice have matching hat feathers)

Gideon: Really didn't want to be his dad (even the Disney Beauty and the Beast version) so he went with his mom's Disney version.

He doesn't rock it as well as PJ, but he makes it work. And on the bright side, now he and Hope match. (On the downside, his shoulders are freezing)

Alice: Alice really wanted to be Captain Hook. So, if she rigged the coin toss that she and Hope did for who got to be him, sue her.

Luckily, there were a lot of official woman's Hook costumes for her to pick from, including some fancy wigs....which she ditched after the pictures were taken (those things are itchy), but she kept the hat, so she and Robyn could match.

Hope: After losing the coin toss, Hope suddenly realized that Emma didn't really have a fairytale counterpart. The closest things were the Ugly Duckling or the Swan Princess. All of the Ugly Duckling costumes were made for kids, so Swan Princess it was.

The two animated versions of the Swan Princess (Barbie and the other one) didn't have commercial dresses, so Hope got a chunky plastic tiara and a cheap ballet dress (she used her own ballet shoes)

Hey, at least she matched with Gideon.

Individual Edits Under the Cut: (They look bad up close, but you can't see Robyn's tail in the group shot lol)
