Thats kind of a contradictory sentence. You say they weren’t destined to be together but then say they were destined to be together. Neal and Emma never had TLK either but we know their love was true based on the their totem, the swan pendant which survived even the dark curse. Beyond the parallels between (ironically one that you mentioned awhile back when you called Emma a lost girl and Hook a lost boy despite that Neal was the actual Lost boy, or that he’s the child of darkness and she’s the child of light, that fate and destiny brought them together over the course of centuries and had they not then the curse itself would never have been broken at all). Neal and Emma offer a more juicy story that was clearly intentionally planned (you say it’s because of Pan, but remember Pan was not intended to be Rumps father nor the main villain for season 3. that, like Hook’s heightened role in the story, was added in later so the idea they were only mean to be together to have Henry because Pan wanted his heart is pretty strange but whatever helps you accept that Hook and Emma were never pre-planned despite the fact that Hook himself literally said it. You are contridicting yourself by saying it’s not meta but then saying it is). Also, you are citing the words of other characters as a way to confirm Emma and Hook have true love but don’t you recall the times other characters also said similar things about SF? Belle confirming the swan pendant being a product of true love or Neal saying it was fate or destiny that brought them together? Does one count and the other doesn’t?
Their love is so strong that it was counteracting a memory curse.
But then why didn’t TLK never break any of the curses placed on Emma before if that is the case? She has had her memory taken before. And Hook did try to kiss her to break the spell. And then there was the time Hook was cursed and a kiss from the savior let alone a kiss from true love did nothing. I’m just saying. Food for thought. The true love heart test thing would be a good indication if not for the fact that Emma has a heart full of love regardless of Killian simply by way of being the savior. It would have worked no matter what. Had that occurred to any other non savior couple I would have believed but there has be some logic here and Emma’s heart was already shown to be all magical “love is strength” in season 2 so we KNOW tha has nothing to do With hook. In the SF thread, I said the fact that they weren’t given TLK is very interesting given there have been plenty of opportunities for it and even their wedding could have been written for a kiss to show something magical. It never did. Her death could have been undone by a kiss from Hook. But it wasn’t. mind you, I’m sure Emma loves Killian. She married him. And I’m sure Hook loves Emma. There is nothing more to him outside of that. But I’m pointing out that showing if their love is supposed to be the same as TL it’s not very consistent with how the show has shown it throughout. Think of all the ways true love has been confirmed (breaking of a curse, pixie dust, TLK,) in terms of that magical True Love, it’s never shown itself between them and they ended it by seemingly not caring to do it. It’s really, very strange. But who knows. That story is over and done now.
Neal and Emma were not true love. They were first love. The only one that thinks it’s true love was you guys but you guys never got any confirmations and yet you try to downgrade the CS confirmations of true love which are a lot of them and they’re in unique ways because they are a unique couple.
Oh my God Hook was a lost boy! He was sold by his father and then enslaved to a captain. He had no family aside from his brother. He had no mother or father, he was a lost boy! And Emma was a lost girl, and they were both searching for home and they found it.
What are you talking about? It was the plot, you’re the one trying to twist it into something it isn’t. Pan point blank said he purposely let Neal escape, but Neal failed to mention that to the others. He wanted Henry, he’s been planning for Henry ever since Bae was brought to Neverland. He knew what needed to be done so that’s why he let Neal leave. Because he knew once Neal met Emma and had Henry he could take Henry, use his heart and become immortal. THAT WAS THE PLOT! This wasn’t the headcanons or fiction in your head.
The TLK in 3×11 was not broken because Emma did not know him nor remember him. Because they were still very new at that point. It was a parallel to the failed Rumbelle and Snowing TLK’s and even Jane Espenson confirmed that.
By the point they were married and everything there love was so unique and strong that Emma started getting flashes of her wedding to her true love(Henry said it not me) and also when she saw him in the book.
Hook’s curse was on his lips! Once Emma kissed him she lost her power. That was the whole point of the curse.
As far as TL confirmations aside from the ones that showed they were(the test and the flower) how about hearing it from the mouth of Emma Swan herself. Whom said in her vows that she did not know true love until she met Killian. She never believed she could have that, until she met him.
Yes you know what that means, she never thought Neal was her true love. So I trust her word over Belle’s.
Why do you need a magical lazy confirmation of true love(Hi Zades) when you can get the very clear picture just from listening to the characters! Killian’s true love is Emma. Emma’s true love is Killian.
Get over it and no booboo it’s not over. Because it’ll be in S7 much like Rumbelle. You know what is over though, your ship. Sunk a long time ago, dude is gonna be dead for 3-4 years now. Time to move on! Stop undermining the canon ship cause you’re bitter.
