Once Upon a Time returns this Sunday, and we’re celebrating with this gorgeous new batch of promotional photos featuring the main characters!

People released these images that show Regina, Snow, Emma, Belle, Rumpelstiltskin, Charming and Henry in their fairytale getups (including, interestingly enough, Emma), but in Storybrooke.
Not only are the images beautiful, but they are also all kinds of hilarious, as some of the characters clearly look very bemused at finding themselves in the real world (especially Snow and Belle). Regina and Rumpel, on the other hand, look very much at home.
These images are a great way to show the almost schizophrenic-like confusion which the fairytale characters must be feeling, having to consolidate their real personalities with the ones they have built up in Storybrooke. And Emma, with her sword and armour, has all the frilly dresses and bedding looming almost threateningly behind her, showing the different elements of her origin (fairytale princess and female warrior). If we were looking for clues, the set-up of her image might also point to the fact that we could be seeing a glimpse of what Emma would have been had she grown up in fairytale land with her parents.
Whatever these photos may or may not allude to (we don’t know how much the photographer has been told, after all), they are still incredibly thought-provoking, and a clever setup which reveals a lot about the characters. Just look at Charming, awkwardly swinging his sword sitting on his horse in the middle of the street. It is amazing how clearly out of place these characters look in the real world, and we’re sure that is going to be one of the prevalent elements of season 2: seeing the fairytale characters try to fit in.
