Reply To: Emma + Baelfire = Swanfire

Imagine if they did bring him back…
And Emma saw him again…
And given their conversations in the woods…
She knows he holds no grudges for Walsh, because he’s been there too…
She knows that they totally get each other in that respect…
As well as in so many other respects because they still get along like old times…
And she knows that he honestly, truly, has no expectations from her…
She knows for sure that the “date” at Granny’s really wasn’t him pressuring her…
She knows, without a shadow of a doubt, that all he wants is for her to find happiness…
And having lost him the way she did, she now knows and can admit to herself and everyone else, without reservations, that having him back would make her happy, because she’s NOT gonna lose him again. I need this in fanfic, if not the actual show.

Exactly. What would be a lovely story is if he comes back and all of this time she loses him so much to kind of jolt her into reality: QUIT DRAGGING YOUR FEET, let go of the past, and don’t ever lose him again.  Because it could be gone in an instant. THREE TIMES. Gosh, I’d think after the last time she would have already been there. Because that’s character development. To go from the portal and the I love yous, to kind of brushing him off when he is ACTUALLY ALIVE, it just doesn’t flow. That should have been when she learned the lesson. But instead NL was THAT hard on her? Ugh. 

But yeah, a great story would be him coming back and her never letting go. Because she’s made the same mistake three times now when all HE has ever done is sacrifice for HER. She keeps losing him in death. Over and over. 1. fake death 2. real death to her but not to him and 3. real real death. I just really makes me angry that he’s died so many times. Come ON. I get it if they were setting up for something larger like that. It’s like every time he dies the walls come down a little bit. Like it’s what she needs to snap out of the rut. *frustrated with Emma*

And Artsee, about Tallahassee..
COME ON. People cannot honestly tell me that they weren’t set up to be endgame from day 1. THEY CAN’T. People can interpret things differently. That’s fine. But you can’t twist words and you can’t deny what is shown on screen as fact. Tallahassee…. the way they introduced us to him… everything.

And the whole “Well, Belle is not an authority on true love” thing… Really? This is a TV SHOW. Not a detective show. Unless the person is a villain, you can pretty much bet that the writer has made this person say this thing so that way WE KNOW IT’S TRUE. It’s kind of how we know ANYTHING by watching a tv show… there’s no narration.They have to communicate ideas to us SOMEHOW. It’s like when Aurora was telling Emma that she thinks Hook cared for her… but it was CORA who was saying that through Aurora’s heart to try to mess with them. It wasn’t even HOOK! And yet, they always use Aurora as an authority saying AURORA could tell. ??? And Belle who is not being controlled by a crazy murderous villain witch is suddenly not trustworthy? This is a television show. That’s how writers’ communicate with us and they expect us just take it and not question it, unless obviously it’s from a villain because that’s just COMMON SENSE.

Well I was doing really really well when I woke up. I woke up at 3:30am and was doing horribly 🙁 Felt so sick about it all. But this morning I felt a little better. Now I’m just stressed again but not sinking back to what I was last night. Just super super stressed. Because it just doesn’t make sense.

 

p.s. It’s really sad because I don’t know that I will ever be able to do a rewatch again. Just thinking about it is way too painful. I wish I would have never watched this past ep and just quit the show beforehand and never heard anything else about it, ever. That’s really really sad that it’s come to this.
