Guys, also, if anyone saw the little teaser thing on twitter, there are 2 things noteworthy. One, the new book has an apple tree on the cover. Two, when the open the book, it says "ready for a new adventure?" which is a glaringly obvious hint to Robin's proposal in The Final Battle. Hmmm, what could it mean?

ABC be like: *slides thinly veiled hints across the table* oh gosh wonder if they'll notice?

I be like: *quietly takes hints, slides note back across the table* note says: I like where this is going wink wink

So yeah, not like we can expect a major Regina role in s7, where could you possibly be getting that information? It's not like they just blatantly handed it to us or anything, is it? Lana couldn't possibly also be billed as leading cast member now, could she? Wink wink sly grin

Given, as I'm sure most of you now know by now, Regina is far and away my favorite- I'm not a shipper, I'm a character person and I tend to latch on to one character as the reason I watch for the most part- you can imagine I'm adoring this right now. I love how on twitter most of the comments had to do with Robin's proposal, but I was the first person I saw who caught the apple tree. ABC defo knows how to play the "insert obvious hint here for everyone who doesn't know all the mythos, but then insert possibly more significant tease for everyone who does know the mythos" game.

Seeing as the first book favored nobody in particular, just a generic brown and gold cover and the content was everyone's story equally, I feel like it's super significant that one of Regina's main symbols is literally right there on the cover. The Evil Regal in me is losing her mind right now.
