Once Upon A Time

I grew up trying to get through the back of the wardrobe to Narnia. It was only a question of when I'd get through and become the princess of Narnia, marry a hunky prince, acquire plenty of magic and live happily ever after. Without children. Children are the plague, you see. The magic might not be all rainbows and unicorn hairs - unless they were taken by force. We all know, that if taken by force the magic is much stronger. I digress.

Only when I finally got the back of the wardrobe open, I was too old and there was nothing there. Imagine the tears and evil curses. Alas neither my tears nor my evil curses were powerful enough to get through and I had to live the quiet suburban house, being the suburban teenager doing his homework and behaving. For you, my lovely minions imagine the most magical, powerful and evil princess in all the realms being stripped of all her magic and forced to live in a town where there was no magic and knowing full well, who she is while her evil nemesis' and other pests walk around blissfully unaware of what's really going on. That's me.

Which "Once Upon A Time" Character Are You?

1. You got: Prince Charming
   ABC / Via perezhilton.com

   You’re a classic hero. You believe in protecting your loved ones at all costs, you’re good with a sword, and your word is your bond. You welcome a good fight, but you also know how to lay down your weapon and listen. You’re trustworthy, tenacious, brave, and you hold strong to your beliefs. You believe in fighting for the greater good, but you also enjoy the quiet solitude and fulfillment of a domestic life.

2. You got: Snow White

   You’re a mix of classic and modern. You value tradition, but you know that to survive in this world, you have to break the rules sometimes. You’re honest to a fault, and overall you’re a forgiving and flexible person, but when it comes to protecting your loved ones, you’re a lion. You’d never needlessly seek out a fight, but you’re not one to back down when it comes to making sure justice is served. You always see the good in people, but you’re not so blindly optimistic that you let people take advantage of you.

3. You got: Emma

   You’re a reluctant hero and a realist through and through. You don’t consider yourself “leader material,” but you often find yourself being forced into positions of power. Whether you believe it or not, you are an excellent leader because you’re decisive and brave, and people are naturally drawn to you. You believe in pragmatism over magic, and you always look before you leap. You protect yourself and the people you love at all costs, which makes you a fearsome enemy. But behind that clever exterior, you’re a sensitive and warm ally.

4. You got: Rumplestiltskin
   ABC / Via ask-thecrocodile.tumblr.com

   You’re an interesting mixture of optimism and realism. You’re an excellent judge of character, but you’re much quicker to see the bad in people than the good — probably because you know more about human nature than most. You believe in getting the upper hand at all costs, partly because you value power, but also because you know what can happen when power falls into the wrong hands. Behind all your careful strategy, you do believe that people are capable of real good, and true love. In your heart of hearts you value family above all, but you know that to truly protect them, you have to stay ahead of your enemies.

5. You got: Henry
   ABC / Via ouat-directory.tumblr.com

   You’re the truest of believers. You believe that good always wins, and that doing the right thing is more important than doing what’s easy. You hold others to the same standards to which you hold yourself, and have a difficult time understanding why people do harm to each other. You’re selfless, but you know how to take charge of a situation, and you make your opinions known.

6. You got: Belle
   ABC / Via giphy.com

   You’re as smart as you are heroic — and you’re very, very smart. You always use your wits and bravery for good, and you see the best in people, no matter what. Mostly, you prefer the company of books to people, but you also have an adventurous streak and a tenacity that balances your natural introversion. You believe in love, but you also believe in equality, and you refuse to settle for an ordinary life. You trust your instincts and you will usually let your heart guide you, even when it leads you down the more difficult path.

7. You got: Neal
   ABC / Via rebloggy.com

   You’re a survivor. You believe in realism, even when there are magic spells being cast right before your eyes. You know that the world — well, all the worlds — are full of danger and deception, and there’s no quick fix for anyone’s problems. But that hasn’t made you bitter, it’s made you smarter. You’re an independent self-starter who doesn’t ask for favors, and never takes the easy way out. It takes a lot to get through your defenses, but lucky are the few that do. You’ll do absolutely anything to protect and care for the people you love, even when the cost is your own happiness.

8. You got: Regina
   ABC / Via new.spring.me

   You’re a no-nonsense go-getter. You believe in action over words, and you never make the same mistake twice. You’re tenacious and fiery, and you thrive in past-paced, high-stakes environments. In many ways you’re a natural-born leader, but you don’t have the time or patience for diplomacy — it’s a waste of everyone’s time. Behind all that fire and passion, you can be an excellent listener, and the few people you let into your heart stay there forever. You don’t easily forgive, but you also never abandon the people you love

 The last sappy bits, that's just to make me sound nicer than I really am but you knew that, didn't you?

 

Living in in this realm is difficult and while we don't really want the commoners to know about us sometimes it happens. A touch of squid ink, a magic bean or a heart does cause a bit of commotion. Of course all this is easily explained as is the fact that fairy tales are nothing but a Disney creation. I do shudder to think what people would think if they found out that this my favourite new thing  is really real. It's uncanny.
