Disgusting. Maybe BF had a reason to punish Tink for stealing etc, but had she assisted Regina when she so clearly needed a Fairy Godmother to put her on the right path then all of this could have been avoided.

Why was a simpering little bimbo like Cinderella afforded a Fairy Godmother and Regina who perhaps suffered the same kind of tormented childhood pushed by the way-side because of the sins of her mother??

The Blue Fairy didn't have predjudice towards Regina because of her being Cora's daughter, as much as it was more about Regina having a growing darkness (Hate) inside of her as we could see in that flashback in the episode, and thus didn't feel she was worth using dust for.

Fairies are very protective of their dust and it was also more of Tinkerbell betraying Blue's trust that made her lose her wings, didn't matter the reason, Fairies are generally seen as a force of absolute good, no grey areas such as the ones Tink crossed.

I agree that Regina deserved some help too but as you could see from that episode, she doesn't even want it.

Cinderella had it tough too by all means, just wasn't as emphasized as Regina. Cora had a similar life to Cinderella's, having to work so hard for so long without seeing any kind of payment. The difference was that Cora turned to hate and later a thirst for power, Cinderella ran on hope instead of turning to hate.

As for Regina, at that point she had too much potential for evil and too much growing hate, Blue could sense it and didn't feel dust would do any good, NOT about Regina being related to Cora too much. How in the world is Cinderella a "simpering little bimbo'? O:

Peeps are too overly judgy these days.

Anyway another theory is Blue punished Tink because Tink would have interfered with fate.

Regina is fated to create the curse and Emma is prophesied to have been the savior.

Maybe BF had to keep Tink from interfering because Emma or Henry will make a huge difference in the FT realms and she needed to ensure that this all happens.

Even Rumple had mentioned to Regina that this was her path and she needed to keep

training with him so everything fell into place. Haha, it's just my personal opinion. I've never liked Cinderella, not even in the old Disney film. She just struck me (especially in OUaT's adaptation) to be a weak woman who let her 'Fairy Godmother' and then her Prince take care of things for her (although it could be argued that a lot of Disney Princesses are guilty of this) But not everyone will have the same opinion and I would welcome further back-story on Cinderella providing it was interesting, although I think she was one-shot and the book is probably closed on that (unless, they ever want to discuss what happened to Thomas)

Plus, she was sort of an ally to TDO in allowing him to assume the 'Godmother' role. She knew full well that he would be using dark magic. She became a Princess because of dark forces and only seemed repentant when she realised what she'd have to give up.

I don't blame her for wanting a better life, and at the age of Regina in QaCF she hadn't done anything too drastic that she couldn't come back from (she killed Trish by crushing her heart) who was an apprentice of TDO and may have even if left to be guided by Rumple gone on to do great evil (even Snow has killed someone, but that was okay, it was Cora who was evil but the BF wouldn't turn her back on Snow after that) so just can't see why even if Tink was allowed to help Regina, why Blue didn't...

Could buy into someone aboves theory that the curse needed to happen, but I feel like the whole thing was more the design of Rumple than it was the fairies (or BF in specific)

I enjoy the show no matter what happens, but I can't help but sympathise with the villains, so much could have been done to save Regina but I feel like she was just cast aside. But then again, no tragic villains, no show!
