In that order

I admit the last one is very fairytale-like but the fact that Hook's father could hear the voice of woman he fell in love with,contradicts that the Sleeping Curse was supposed to be I agree with Zades and Brennan/random lady but how did Ruby and Dorothy cheapen it? Their TLK situation was pretty much the exact same as Snowing's-"I've known you for a day and I'm in love with you." As much as I disliked how their story played out, it was no different to the likes of Snowing, Thomas/Ella or Ariel/Eric Probably because of the fact that they fell in love in 2 hours lol And Snowing didn't? They walked around a forest for like a day. Ariel and Eric had one dance. Thomas and Ella had one dance. This is a universe where 'love at first sight' happens to be a thing.

I don't mean to be "that person" but saying Ruby Slippers cheapened TLK when Snowing didn't has hints of homophobia. Their story had little difference to Snowing. Okay my bad. Let me be rephrased. I meant "the fact that they managed TLK in 2 hours". I don't think not even Snow and Charming could accomplish that. And why does someone who doesn't like Ruby&Dorothy's relationship get the title of "homophobic" everytime? Trust me, there are lots of relationships I don't like or care in this show. RubySlippers is just one of them. Because the majority of people arguing that RS's TLK happened too quickly comes from people who like or have no issue with Snowing. Surely if RS tarnished the vlue of TLK, Snowing did so in episode 1.

Its not disliking or not shipping Ruby and Dorothy that is the problem (trust me I didnt like them either), it is holding double standards between straight couples and queer couples.

Saying that RS tarnished TLK but Snowing did not, despite them having roughly the same situation. Hell you could even argue that RS were ahead of Snowing; Ruby and Dorothy had shared private, intimate information with one another by that stage.
