For those who saw last episode, we got to see a bit of the Black Fairy's past and Rumple's birth. What got me was the fact that the Black Fairy was smiling and crying to see her newborn.

I'm sorry but she really looked like she loved her son. I mean, honestly.

Did she lie about chosing power over love? Or maybe to have enough power to defeat those who hurt her the most, she was forced to chose power? Just as fairies are forbidden to fall in love, they certainly are forbidden of having children and giving up Rumple was the only way to save him...from something far worse?

The Blue Fairy, perhaps? She lied a few times (despise saying that faires don't lie), forbid Nova's romance with the Grumpy, and banished Tinkerbell for helping Regina!

Should not a fairy support others who help people instead of censoring them?

What would Blue do with 'the forbidden child of a fairy'? Maybe the Black Fairy tried to defeat Blue to change the rules, but when she was banished, she had to work out another plan: the Dark Curse. Most villains in OUAT are actually 'victims' of the evil of others (except Cora, Cruella and Pan, I think). Fairies are emotionally unstable and easily influenced. Fairies are said to be too small to be good and evil at the same time. They are either one thing or another. They can change, of course, but it must be a complete change.

The Black Fairy wasn't always evil. She has a name, and she had a colour before black. Her colors were confirmed as NOT being purple, gold, white, blue and red, but her color IS one of the seven colors of the rainbow.

Tiger Lily was conffirmed to be a fairy (don't ask me), so she is the 'orange', 'peach', 'red' fairy.

Tinkerbell is the Green Fairy.

Indigo reminds of Maleficent, and taking that she was actually a fairy in the original tale, maybe she lost her fairy powers when she turned into a dragon? Kristin Bauer said she is immortal. Maybe she gave up her life as a fairy to be human

Yellow then? The Black Fairy was the Golden Fairy? The Golden Fairy is Mr Gold's mother?

Oh, damn, please no.

Anyway, she steals children to work for her, but she also needs to overcome the pain of never ebeing able to raise her own child. It's a sick way of dealing with an immeasurable pain - and it is very common to a victim of abuse/loss to try deal with the pain by reliving the moment which brought him/her pain.

MAYBE...

The Dark Curse was the only way the Black Fairy found to have Rumple back - or to take revenge on Blue. As 'ruler' of a place (Storybrooke) where Blue would be in her hands, the Black Fairy would tell the whole truth to Rumple, and give him her happy ending - Belle. Emma Swan comes into the mess to be the one that would break the curse and free everyone.

When Zelena attacked the Black Fairy, I remembered of when Emma and Regina tried to kill Hyde, and then he laughed - just like the Black Fairy did last night.

Or maybe Blue fell in love, or she was raped by Malcolm. Pregnant, she decided to rip herself into two people - and the evil one gave birth to Rumple? Hm. I don't think so, but it's a possibility.

I honestly think that Blue cannot marry, or maybe she got rejected badly. Then, she saw the Balck Fairy falling in love and having a child and taken by envy and pride, she forbid the fairies of having a family. The Black Fairy tried to defeat her but was banned.

I say this because it's ironic that Blue does not allow fairies to get married, taking that her name (Reul Ghorm) comes from an old line which details what a bride should wear at her wedding for good luck:

''Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in her shoe.''

Reul is Irish for "sixpence", while Ghorm is Irish for "blue", thus making her name "Reul Ghorm" mean "Sixpence Blue". Ghorm is believed to be an ancient being. A dreamer and the dream, restlessness and insight. He blurs the line between dreams and reality, choosing his followers and offering them priesthood. His very presence can overwhelm the mortal mind, bring insight or madness. Ghorm does not control dreams and he is not what makes them possible. He simply exists on the edge of dream and reality and walks through the dreams of mortal beings.

Daamn, what the hell is Blue?
