So, it’s pretty obvious that whenever there’s a problem everybody rushes to Gold demanding help and whining when it’s time to pay the price.
My question is: why don’t they just go to the Blue Fairy? She has light magic and doesn’t ask for prices, why don’t they go to her?
I know that the actual reason is “Rumplestiltskin is a main character and is portrayed by Robert Carlyle, the Blue Fairy is not”, but I’d like to find a reason that makes sense in the story.
Is it because they know that Blue is actually useless? Or because they don’t want her to point out that what they need done is not good, so they just go to Rumple so that they can blame him for it? Is it because even the heroes realize that she’s shady af???
Please, help me find an answer!
They went to her sometimes. Like she was the one that got the tree for the wardrobe for Emma to evacuate through. However, mostly I think they don’t go to her because she doesn’t/can’t help.
Say what you will about Rumple but even the heroes acknowledge that he knows how to take care of business, and get stuff done. It’s a bit like.
– Blue’s the one that they would turn when they wanted everything nice and clean, and it didn’t necessarily have to succeed.
– Rumple’s the guy to send in when they want the problem solved, no mistakes, just dealt with.
Like I can just imagine Blue looking all sad, and saying that fairy magic has it’s limits, and that she can only do so much. Hear that enough times and what’s the point in the side trip to the fairy? Let’s just skip to the end and call in the guy that we know can take care of it.
To be honest my headcanon is that the heroes don’t even realize they are doing it. Especially these days in Storybrooke because they are out of the habit of turning to the fairies. They hide away in the convent and are never there when the shit hits the fan. I think actually didn’t they say that they needed fairy dust to do magic?
I remember in 2×01 Broken, the Blue fairy saying “it was complicated” now. So maybe they can’t actually do much because either there is no more fairy dust left in the mines, or nobody is bothering to mine it anymore. If they are just like regular people, no power these days, then that would make sense too.
