Hello guys, sorry I'm late to the party.

First (off topic), in my opinion there is, in season 7, too many of "journey into lands with different speed of time", so I prefered not to think too much about characters' timelines.

Yet, I don't see the Wish Realm fits badly in this issue of timeline. I'm maybe wrong, I always considered the WR as a real place since the moment we met WishRobin. He is a real person, not a Robin resurrected but a different one.

I assumed that, yes of course, the WR was only created in 6x10, but then our Emma became Princess Emma of WR when she went there. No fake memories. Thirty years of life without the Dark Curse really existed and both Emma merged.

For me that merge is the reason the WR isn't just a pocket place anymore, and had to have ramifications to over realms. Princess Emma becoming real made canon all characters' backstories that happened during those 30 years. People leaving the WR, people having different fates.

My theory is that WR's existence changed history of other realms, like a butterfly effect. Meaning we are actually seeing events of an alternate NEF. NEF was affected by the events of episodes 6x10- 6x11. It's huge, but I don't really mind, I mean I wouldn't be surprised if one day we'd learn a WR's character once travelled to an established realm in moments that occured during previous seasons (even though this kind of ramifications could quickly become complicated...).

Emma is the key. And some stories through the universe were retconned, like Mother Gothel's story. It's done and all we can do is admitting it. I hope my explanations are clear. Hopefully, it's all gonna be explained by A&E soon !
