After reading this, I just remembered something… In “The Return”, we saw August talking to ‘Mother Superior’. It seemed like they knew each other quite well. I can’t remember what exactly she said to Rumple about August (was it something about looking for his father???), but I wondered in that moment if ‘Mother Superior’ knew exactly who she was, who Rumple was, and who August was. August must have known her anyway. Actually…yeah…he must have known her, because he was never cursed, but DID SHE KNOW HIM???

Have we all assumed that Blue only remembered when Emma broke the curse? Was it ever suggested that she was awake the whole time, or that she too had a loophole for remembering? Was it ever explicitly stated that she had no memory of who she was? Can anyone remember?

Is Blue the Author? She seemed not to know how the story would ‘reveal itself’ to Emma, but Blue lies, or she omits, a lot, so maybe she knew exactly how it would all play out…

And other realms with histories of the same events, only told with a different slant…yeah, I wanna see that…

I’ve long thought that Blue is super shady. Earlier this season, I wondered if Blue was The Sorcerer. The Sorcerer created the hat, which is older than “many Dark Ones”, so s/he must be very old. Isn’t Blue the oldest character on the show? Could The AuthorThe Sorcerer/Blue be one and the same?

Exactly about the scene with her and August. What was he talking with her about?

Blue’s suspcious activity includes:

• Lying-by-omission when neglecting to tell young Bae that True Love’s Kiss could break the curse of The Dark One
  
• Lying to Snow and Charming about the magical tree to placate Gepetto
• Being cruel to Nova and Dreamy (Grumpy) and overly-rigid in her “dwarves can’t love” dogma
• Banishing Tinker Bell for trying to help Regina, who Blue didn’t think was worthy of help for being Cora’s daughter and Rumple’s pupil

She has said things like:

Baelfire: How do I know I can trust you?
Blue: Because there’s good magic and dark magic. And I’m on the right side. [Note that she doesn’t say the “good” side, she says the “right” side.]

and this exchange:

Tinker Bell: My name isn’t Green. It’s Tinker Bell. And I can’t believe you want me to ignore someone who needs help. It’s not very fairy-like.
Blue: I would be the judge of what is fairy-like.

In summary: BLUE IS SHADY AS HELL.

Can we also talk about how Blue doesn’t really go by the “All magic comes with a price” rule? She doesn’t trade. She doesn’t bargain. She just gives.

"Oh here’s this enchanted tree you can make into a wardrobe aren’t I awesome?"

"Oh here’s this bean you can use to be with your father (and subsequently get The Dark One the hell away from me.) Aren’t I the best?"

She GIVES, and we assume it’s because she’s good and nice but what if it was just because she had her own agenda? What if she was also manipulating the stories from the inside, disguising herself as the most good being ever just to make sure the villains came up short because she didn’t like them?

Wait, are you telling me that the blue fairy is actually more manipulative than rumps and has actually managed to fool people into not even seeing it?

MAYBE

Think about it man. Rumple schemes and manipulates but it’s not like people don’t know. But he trades. He never gives what isn’t wanted and never takes what isn’t given. They might have all been pawns in his game but only because he was going to get his son back.

So, assuming that Blue manipulates without anyone knowing, what’s her motive other than making sure “good beats evil” when it’s obvious things are not so black and white?

They might all be pawns in her game.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world she didn’t exist…
