Does the dog die?

Once Upon a Time
TV Show • 2011 • Drama
ReportThere is a town in Maine where every story book character you've ever known is trapped between two worlds, victims of a powerful curse. Only one knows the truth and only one can break the spell.
Emma Swan is a 28-year-old bail bonds collector who has been supporting herself since she was abandoned as a baby. Things change for her when her son Henry, whom she abandoned years ago, finds her and asks for her help explaining that she is from a different world where she is Snow White's missing daughter.

Cruella kills and skins her mother's dalmatians, though. Though that happens off-screen, since we see her boasting about it while putting on the fur coat she made out of their fur, it could still be upsetting.

From an unbiased perspective, yes. Horrible villains redeem (regardless of your opinion on their redemption arc) and occasionally become very close friends with characters they once physically and mentally tormented.

Since the show revolves around curses and remembering certain events and stuff like that, gaslighting is a very common theme. Generally, the people who inflict gaslighting the most are definitely Rumplestiltskin, Regina, and other numerous villains. There are several times when even Mary Margaret/David are manipulative and lie to Emma, and Henry sometimes lied about things.

Henry Mills is abused by Regina Mills. Zelena is abused by her unnamed father. Archie Hopper is abused by Myrna and Martin. Captain Hook is abused by his parents. King George abuses both James and then David. Regina goes on to abuse Snow White by concocting a murder plot before she even turns thirteen. Malcolm abuses Rumplestiltskin. This is not an exhaustive list. As this is a show about fairytales, child abuse is heavy. Caution.

Not "drugs", per se, but there are substances used that are like drugs. E.g. in season 4, in a flashback scene, Maleficent describes a concoction of sleeping curse, water, and a few other ingredients, and states that it "takes the edge off."

Graham in S1 by Regina Mills. Wish Hook in S7 by Tremaine. Robin Hood is during S4 but it's a tricky matter involving mental illness, how consent works with mental illness, and the pressures on women to think that marriage/having a child will fix the problems in their lives, including their mental illness. This is still sexual assault but may be twice as triggering.
All sexual assault in OUAT is woman-on-man and poorly handled. Please act with extreme caution as this is severely triggering.

There are three instances of magical rape (a female character using magic to have sex with a man who would otherwise have not consented). These are never explicitly referred to as a rape. The closest is Regina describing it as Zelena "deceiving Robin in the most vile way imaginable".
These three occasions are in around S1 E7, late S4, and S7 E7

No heads get squashed, but Regina threatens Isaac Heller by saying something along the lines of, "I'll drive a sports car of your choice over your head until it squashes like a pumpkin." The threat is empty, and more of a sarcastic remark than anything, but the inferred imagery isn't pleasant, lol.

Residue's of drowning and choking, most noticeably in the season 5 fanale where Hyde chokes Hook, he's shown struggling for breath afterwards. There's lots of physical choking and magical choking throughout the show - almost every episode - but I don't think any characters actually die this way, it's more of a threat/warning or the character is stopped before the victim is killed.

In season 2 and 5 (Spoilers)
Hook is tortured aggressively by Hades, is seen covered in blood with a swollen eye and limping. This is shown through episodes 13,14,15 of season 5, he also tells Arthur he spent "most of my time here on the end of a lash" and Arthur then picks up a whip.
In season 2 Regina is restrained and tortured with electricity by Greg, also towards the end of season 2 in the episode "Lacey", Robin Hood is tortured by Rumplestiltskin and is shown chained to the ceiling by his wrists, blood coming from him nose and mouth, his shirt ripped open and blood dripping down his chest. It's a rather short scene however and is only on screen for a minute or two.

None of the amputation scenes are overly gory. Zelena slices off her hand in season 5 but no blood is shown, the hand just falls to the ground and she reattaches it fairly quickly. When Rumplestiltskin cuts off Hook's hand, a small splatter of blood is seen on the deck of his ship but it's only a few specs. In season 2 when Dr Whale's arm is ripped off there's blood around his joint and the severed arm but nothing more than that

There are two major characters who are sheriffs, and they are both good guys, but there doesn't seem to be much copaganda, if any. They are not shown to abuse their position in any way that portrays it as a positive. They are sometimes manipulated into unknowingly misusing their power. The show has a fairly neutral stance on police overall.

There are many hospital scenes. The series starts with "John Doe," or David in the hospital in a coma, then we see Henry in the hospital, Emma in the hospital (in flashback), Zelena in the hospital, and many more accounts with patients, including Greg Mendel, Mary Margaret, Hook, Mr. Gold, and Lucy. Of course, since there are characters who play the roles of doctors, we see them in that setting as well.

in season 2 a character is shown to be in deep depression, she goes to another character and begs her to kill her. The second character looks as though she will kill the first, and even tries, but stops before she dies.

One of the main characters has a backstory that he purposefully injured his leg to escape fighting and dying in war. You see him hit his leg (with a hammer/simliar) and it breaks. It's a main plot of one of the early seasons, and the show frames him as a 'coward' for self harming and for not dying in war instead. He is repeatedly called a coward by other characters and calls himself one. I found it extremeley triggering as someone who has recieved anger/judgement from people because I self harmed.

The only time something that truly resembles an anxiety attack occurs is in season 6, when Emma starts to shake while having visions of the future.

The worst scene for this is the start of S03E03. It's a dream scene which suddenly starts flashing.

There are clear Jewish stereo types in many of the villains and a lot of dogwhistles. There are even clearly swastikas in the window designs of the "dragon's" space

Billy (Gus the Mouse from Cinderella) is a person of color and is murdered to frame Ruby. He's killed to fuel the "woman pain" of the show and it's a pretty pointless and irritating death. This will be triggering/anger-inducing. Be warned.

Many people make fun or call Hook names for his so-named hook, which he has to replace a missing hand that Rumplestiltskin cut off. He doesn't seem to take offense to but it could be upsetting to some viewers.

There’s a few relationships where one character is a few hundred years older than their partner, such as Rumple x Belle, Neal x Emma, and Captain Hook x Emma. With Neal and Emma, they are also in a relationship when she is a minor (17) and he appears to be physically in his 20s.

There's no nudity, but there is a scene when Mary Margaret and David are in bed, (as well as Graham and Regina), and there are parts that allude to people sleeping together. (Mary Margaret/Dr. Whale, Regina/Robin Hood, Zelena/Robin Hood, Regina/Dr. Facilier...). There are also some steamier kissing scenes and sexual jokes strung throughout, but nothing too mature.

No, but some characters who are in relationships are distantly "related" through marriage with no actual blood relation between them.

It really depends on which characters you like. While the ending is considered to be a happy one, there are a few main- and generally beloved - characters who die.

In s03e01, a character falls into the sea, hits her head and loses consciousness. She is quickly dragged out and revived.
In s03e20, a character is pushed facedown into a pool of water until he loses consiousness. He's revived immediately after.

Probably the most heavy example is in season 5, episodes 12-15. A character has been heavily tortured and is covered in blood, there are a few cuts shown but there isn't actual gore.
