Does Emma Swan Actually Want to Go Back to New York? A Deep Dive
Okay, so we've all been there, right? You're watching Once Upon a Time, and Emma Swan is all, "I'm a badass, independent woman who can conquer New York!" And we're like, "Girl, please. You belong in Storybrooke with your hot pirate and your adopted son."
The New York Dreamin' Phase
Let's be real, the whole New York thing was a bit of a phase. It was like when you were 13 and thought you were totally gonna be a rockstar. Or a veterinarian. Or a professional video game player. We've all been there. Emma was just trying to figure out her life, you know? And New York seemed like the place to do it.
The Reality Check
But then, bam, reality hit. She realized that her true calling wasn't power suits and endless coffee runs. It was saving people with magical powers, fighting evil queens, and adopting a kid who's basically the Chosen One. Who would have thought? Not Emma, apparently.
The Big Decision
So, does she go back to New York? Well, technically, she does for a bit. But let's be honest, her heart was always in Storybrooke. It's like when you break up with someone and you're all, "I'm gonna move to a new city and start fresh!" But then you end up stalking their social media and realizing you made a huge mistake.
The bottom line: Emma Swan is a small-town girl at heart. Sure, she can handle the big city, but she thrives in the magical world of Storybrooke. And honestly, who can blame her?
