Oh snap!
Oh God. THIS SCENE. Now, if this happens at the beginning, can we just look at how fucked up Regina is? Mary Margaret forgives her. And Regina doesn’t understand that because forgiveness is not something she has any experience with because her mother never forgave a transgression so much as she punished Regina for them. More than that she doesn’t think she’s deserving of forgiveness. She needs to punish Mary Margaret for forgiving her, she needs to seduce the man Mary Margaret loves because Regina needs MM to hate her.
Sometimes I think that Regina looks at Mary Margaret and sees the little girl that she saved that day. And there’s a bit of love there that Regina just can’t get rid of. She needs to ruin Snow, physically and emotionally, because she just can’t get rid of that last tiny piece of love. Everything Regina does, even now all these decades later, is an attempt to destroy everything about who they were; two idealistic, loving girls desperate for the love of a mother and wanting that happiness that true love could bring.
Their lives taught them two such different things. Regina learned that love is weakness, a literal weapon that people could use against you, that the only power to be had was in destruction. And Snow learned that love is your strength, it builds you up and you can create such beauty with it. Love is what allows Mary Margaret to forgive Regina because Mary Margaret knows it is something they both need.
And Regina needs to eradicate that because self-destruction is what she has been spiralling towards since she met Snow White. Honestly, if this show does not have Mary Margaret and Regina as an endgame true love I am going to just be sad at a missed opportunity.reblogging again for this^^^^
