I care about Neal outside of his relationship to Rumple, but Belle and Rumple are my favorite characters; what I meant was that if we’re going to tag fans by who they are fans of, you’d have to put me in the Belle/Rumple/Rumbelle corner instead of being strictly SF or a Neal fan. So what I was saying was that fans of other characters DO have reasons to care about Neal. Not that Neal is unworthy of his own fandom or has no purpose beyond the characters to whom he is linked–I wanted to see more of Bae’s adventures in Neverland, I wanted to see Neal’s arrival to the Land without Magic, and I wanted SF to reunite. I wanted Henry to have his dad in his life–and for Neal to have a chance to bond with his son and rebond with his father. I truly believe that Neal was the heart of this show…but I’ve got my own little mad obsessions and I admit that they might come ahead of him. I understand the anger because it makes me angry too, the wasted stories his death means. Please understand that I did not mean to belittle Neal in any way, or make it hurt worse.

Nothing against you, waht i meant is that the other characters fans, could never be more upset than the neal fans, that they may like neal, but wont be that hurt by any of this, like Neal fans, so the name, and whatever storylines they may do with Neal after his death, no one will be hurt more than neal fans, so when POM mentioned the other characters, i meant that the other fans dont have the same love for neal that his own fans, bc for neal fans is over, what we have now is memories, while all the other characters have storylines, that the fans want to see. The Name given to the baby , didnt hurt as many fans of Emma, Hnery and Rumple as it did to Neal fans, bc that was obvious a sign that , hey, now lets not mention the other one again, bc we have a new Neal in town. That was what i meant, bc like i said, as long as the other characters have other story lines, neal not being there wont hurt the other fans as it hurts neal fans, Emma, Henry, Rumple fans , wont pass all the 22 episodes thinking about how Neal should be there. I was not angry with you, what i meant is that no fans will miss Neal like his fans, and that the others although may like him, wont think to much about it, while they have other storylines to pay attention, that was what i meant when i said they couldnt care less if he was alive or dead.
