Even non ‘shipper discussion I still think should go into a general thread.
But okay, whatever.
I’m really proud of my fellow CS ‘shippers for making CS #4 in that Tumblr year end review. I’ve been with ‘ship since the beginning and I remember, the criticism and disbelief from non ‘shippers that it was not going to happen for x y or z reason.
And look at us now!
Our babies are together, they still have stuff they’re going through but it’s only going to make them stronger in the long run. Long run = long haul. And the quote that resonates with me when I think of Captain Swan’s growth comes from Jane Espenson. (She’s awesome).
Storytelling is about arcs because characters change. And if we believe that, we believe people can change. Better to educate than condemn.

Im so proud about both of Hook and Emma’s separate character development. Emma’s come such a long way from season one. She used to be closed off and not quick to trust people and generally, scared to show her vulnerability.
Hook went from a selfish pirate, to caring about other people, to wanting to truly reforming for himself and then for Emma. He even has a bromance with Charming. They even have a nod when they see each other.
You know your ‘ship is something special when even the tiniest romantic gesture, including kissing, is big news all over tumblr and twitter.
