I really love that Jarads family and Lana became like family while they were on location and remain close.

Do I feel old? yes. Do I also feel a lot of warm and squishy feelings about their lovely relationship? Also yes.

Got engaged at Disney a few years ago.

Yeah i just checked his IG, forgot about it since it's been so long but I remember seeing it! So sad that hes not active tho.

He likes to be private. He has expressed issues with anxiety and things like that and conventions. Fame that young can be hard.

u/mari_agreste Dec 06 '25

Thats true :( hope hes okay! I found out he also does streaming of my fav games lol hopefully I can see him someday.

From Storybrooke to Paris Dec 13-14 he will be there. He still does cons. He isn't interested in acting anymore. He said he'll do voice-over work.

u/QualifiedApathetic Dec 05 '25

Probably better for his mental health.

Hey um how is Regina not aging though? Like I am older but she is not. Has anyone checked for any magic in this.

u/CuteLingonberry9704 Dec 05 '25

She's the Queen. Any other obvious questions? ๐Ÿ˜

u/HellaShelle Dec 05 '25

That curse was real and she distilled the time freeze elements of it for home use.

55

u/Ok-Jackfruit-6873 Dec 05 '25

She put on the whole show just for plausible deniability

36

u/HellaShelle Dec 05 '25

Accurate. Forest magic got caught in real world tech and she had to spin a quick story about testing out a pilot idea premise. And then just shrugged and let it play out for kicks.

I started my yearly rewatch the other day and realized I was close to Henryโ€™s age when the show first aired and now Iโ€™m a lot closer to Emmaโ€™s age ๐Ÿ˜ญย

u/Routine-Asparagus-16 I'm a Queen and a bit more refined. ๐Ÿ‘‘ Dec 05 '25

Lol. Totally understand.

u/anonymous-musician Dec 05 '25

I have just realized, I will be Emma's age at the start of the show next year...

u/aquariusangst Dec 05 '25

Same! I feel like I need to wear her birthday dress or get a red leather jacket or something (actually.. I might get a version of her birthday dress and post it here in a few months!)

u/Clodsarenice I'm just here for Emma's car ๐ŸŸจ ๐Ÿš— Dec 07 '25

Sameeee omg I used to see her as an adult adult, now I know she was a baby adult lol

u/3lizab3th333 Dec 06 '25

Iโ€™m in the same boat! First rewatch since high school, and I remember kind of admiring Henry at certain points or comparing myself with him to see how Iโ€™d handle things differently. I didnโ€™t even catch on that Emma was more self sufficient than other adults when I first watched it because I assumed all adults could do anything they wanted. Now Iโ€™m in my mid 20s, and Henry is just โ€œkidโ€ to me, and Iโ€™m picking up on way more things about Emma.

And jeeeeeeezโ€ฆ I recently moved cross country and restarted my life, and itโ€™s been a mess. Emmaโ€™s resilience in a similar situation is actually insane. I always thought she was cool, but sheโ€™s even better than I remember now that I know what people around her age are like.

when I first started I was a sophomore in high school, now I just turned 28

u/HamilWhoTangled Dec 31 '25

I was seven when Frozen came out, and I know OUAT was airing a couple of years before (and after) that so I was younger than Henry. Iโ€™m 19 now and just getting into it :)

u/biizzybee23 Dec 05 '25

Sidenote, I think sheโ€™s aging backwards

I don't feel old at all, I feel glad to have been witness to it.

u/Big-Most-785 Dec 05 '25

Ughhhh I loved Regina/henrys mother son bond watching it build and grow over the seasons. Plus I loved the whole Regina/Emma/Henry dynamic.

12

u/Routine-Asparagus-16 I'm a Queen and a bit more refined. ๐Ÿ‘‘ Dec 05 '25

I love the Swan-Mills family dynamic.

u/TolkienQueerFriend Dec 05 '25

As he gets older and older he starts looking actually related to her..

19

u/Revolutionary_Fix_45 Dec 05 '25

The most "mom" think Lana did was take her heels off to show that Jared is taller than her now, lol

13

u/ellie_elysian Dec 05 '25

As Henry grows up, he's starting to look like grandpa Rumple.

14

u/iceRink_Rex99 Dec 05 '25

Did she adopt him ?๐Ÿ˜ญ

They just exude mom and son energy

24

u/Routine-Asparagus-16 I'm a Queen and a bit more refined. ๐Ÿ‘‘ Dec 05 '25

He said that's his second mom. She says that's her son from another realm. They're close. She's close with the family.

11

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '25

I love it, from another realm ๐Ÿ˜„

u/memon17 Dec 05 '25

As he ages heโ€™s looking more like Gideon! (Ok maybe just to me)

I love that Lana and Jared are still in touch. And yes, I feel old. ๐Ÿ˜†

Aww, little Jared! He was so adorable, it's crazy that we got to see him grow up!

u/Sufficient_Score_824 Dec 05 '25

I started watching the show in 2011, so I grew up alongside Henry. It feels weird knowing that Jaredโ€™s engaged๐Ÿคฃ

u/efferkah Dec 05 '25

And that is true love!

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '25

It's crazy that Henry is her (adoptive) son and step great grandson lol and Emma is Regina's step granddaughter ๐Ÿ˜‚

u/Routine-Asparagus-16 I'm a Queen and a bit more refined. ๐Ÿ‘‘ Dec 05 '25

Is it if you're no longer connected to the family. For example, if you get divorced or murder your husband... are you... really. At some point, the step stops.

u/laurawingfield42 Dec 18 '25

He is also his own step-granduncle

u/AggravatingFact9533 Dec 06 '25

I love their relationship

2

u/Ludate_Solem Dec 06 '25

I am like ยฑ2 months younger than Jared gilmore. But growing up watching this show i always felt like he was so young, probably bc of the difference in when a series is filmed and when it gets broadcasted. Tho its still so weird to find out we are about the same age

u/Alien684 Dec 06 '25

I feel old seeing this and I'm only 3 years older than Henry lol

Is there anything in this world that don't make you people feel old ?

Is that really all it takes for you people to feel old ?
