CAPTAIN SWAN THEME!!!!!!! Random CS scene that wasn’t strictly necessary to the plot
My fav part of the ep right there 😀 Thanks for the share.
Also enjoyed the Charming/Hook parallel with the flask of whatever it was lol
Loved the Emma/Charming daddy/daughter moment- even though it was a dream/nightmare
LOVED the whole CS Forest moment- I think it’s is starting to address some of what POM was saying & prove what many of us CS’ers have been pointing out- Hook’s love of adventure, isn’t really a love of adventure at all (he was in the Navy for his brother, he was a pirate due to his king being corrupt, he became Hook & travelled across realms & worlds etc. due to Rumple murdering Milah)- he seemed to be (in this scene) as tired as running around jungles/forests looking for bad dudes as Emma is TBH.
Also I’m really starting to like the idea that Killian gave up the JR for Emma- he is very stand offish, but not in a shifty way-more in a ‘I gave something up, or did something to get to you & I’m not telling you what’ way- about what he was up to in that yr, he wasn’t having adventures for the yr before, so what was he doing if not looking for the JR then a way back to her????? The only odd thing is I’d have thought he would have just our right said looking for away back to you, but then maybe he’s not sure about how she’ll take that news just yet….. His face when he asks if she really was seriously thinking about marriage speaks volumes- poor guy is really worried she doesn’t feel the same way for him, he feels for her after this last yr.
Emma’s reaction when Killy say’s “Don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m glad to hear that” is nice- a little surprised, but still very guarded & I love we nailed how she felt/feels after Walsh- yet another guy she falls in love with, yet turns out to be someone else/ isn’t who he says he is.
Love how as Killy steps right up close to her & says “If it can be broken, it means it still works”, she has to catch her breath & blink rapidly (although if a guy did that to me, I’d have to the same I’m sure lol). The way she looks deeply into his eyes & knows he’s telling the truth & being honest about it, kind of surprises, frightens, but at the same time ‘shuts out’ that possibility (that’s not the right term- UGH!!!!). Does anyone have a gif set showing her expression right after that conversation, as she looks away from Killian, takes stock of her self & turns away. I’m trying to figure her expression out…. it’s like she tries to put her walls up while he’s talking to her, she cant have them all the way up, so what he says effects her, she turns away to master her emotions, throw her walls back up high & solid, takes a breath to shoulder ‘dealing’ with ‘having to have no one to love for herself’ & turns away because that conversation right after he refuses to answer what exactly he was up to, is just not worth having in case she finds out he also isn’t who he she ‘hopes’ he is.
It’s like she has to keep putting him the “pirate” category, so she can talk herself out of ‘trying’ with him or something- I’m talking right now, not pre-curse 2.0 … I think she really does feel, love for her isn’t in the cards, so she has to keep Killian at arms length, but she cant turn him away, because she is to drawn/connected to him & wants it so badly, kind of thing.
Killian’s expression after she’s turns away with out a word is kind of heart breaking, poor guy is laying it all out on the table for her & can see she feels ‘something’, but she wont say or admit to anything, so he has his work cut out for him, to get back to that place they left a year ago!
