People are gonna tell you who you are your whole life. You just gotta punch back and say, “No, this is who I am”. You want people to look at you differently? Make them! You want to change things, you’re gonna have to go out there and change them yourself, because there are no fairy godmothers in this world.

Thank you, Jennifer Morrison, for Emma Swan. (2011-2017)
Probably my favourite part of 6x11 was when little Emma decided to take on the name Swan and when she started to believe that she could change her future - even as a little girl Emma was amazing. i always love it when Emma decides to take control of her life and her fate. Also it reminds the audience what a horrible childhood Emma had.
That bit absolutely broke my little fangirl heart. Seeing her on the streets at 14-ish was hard enough. But 7? 7?? My nephew will be 7 in August and I just can’t even imagine.
I loved loved loved when she told the police station lady that her last name was Swan. I had always just assumed that Swan was the surname of the family that had her until she was 3; I loved it so much more learning that she gave herself her name and that it was a reminder that her future would eventually be in her hands.
Once upon a time….
“you’re bloody brilliant, amazing” → 10 /?
Emma pausing and registering that she just saw Graham down there, storming back in, slinging him over her OTHER shoulder and kicking Hades in the shin this time. Killian and Graham giving him smug looks as Emma carries them out. (how she gets Graham back to Storybrooke I don't know but this mental image makes me giggle)
THAT IS THE MOST PERFECT ENDING TO THAT BIT OF SILLY BADASSERY I LOVE IT!
