Well on the SwanFire front: I think having Henry be such a major character means they are going to try to keep SwanFire together. No moral judgement here, but on a show that is trying to be “family friendly” I think they happily ever after for Henry is to have his parents together, in FTL, having adventures.
lol, I know what you mean. I already someone on Tumblr write a funny message with a .gif about the whole situation using the rhymes with witch word, and I thought about liking and forwarding it because right now most everyone is in panic mode not knowing what to expect especially me. So even though I don’t know Tamara, I sort of want to hate her, lol, but I can’t because she could be a really awesome character, and I don’t want to dislike her even if they do make her an obstacle to SwanFire. I’m sure our ship will happen eventually, but I just didn’t want them to go the love triangle route since I thought they were going to do that with August, then Hook, and now maybe Tamara because they have so many other problems that a love triangle seemed like overkill. Plus, the biggest triangle will always be between Emma and Regina over Henry, so any romantic love triangle involving any of the main characters seems superfluous too because it will never top the non-romantic triangle that will probably go on until the very last episode of the show.
I think the most precious information here is the “maybe it all needed to happen this way”. Maybe Emma will, like us, believe that “Tamara” is Neal’s girlfriend and she’ll be jealous, awakening her feelings for Neal.
But who is “Tamara” ? A “normal” person, or a FTL character ? Well, I have an idea :
If Neal is Baelfire AND Peter Pan, then “Tamara” could be Tinkerbell. Like Phee said, the Blue Fairy could have sent her to spy on Neal, and since she’s a fairy, it would be logical that she’d send another fairy to fulfill that mission. Moreover, the casting call for Tamara said : “she won’t stop until she gets what she wants”, and remember that Tinkerbell doesn’t stop until she gets Peter Pan’s affection. And it would add a nice parallel between Emma and Neal : “Tamara” would be Neal’s guardian angel just like August is Emma’s guardian angel.
I love you!!! Thank you for giving me something to believe in that makes a lot of sense. As SwanFire shippers, we know that she’s not over Neal otherwise she would have got rid of the yellow Bug for sure. The key chain I guess she could have kept; although, it is a pretty big thing that she modified it into a necklace, but to keep the yellow Bug for so long when we know she had the money for a better car and a car that wouldn’t be so conspicuous in her previous line of work, is proof that she still has feelings for Neal. However, I’m sure she’s convinced herself that she’s over Neal, so maybe if it’s just a misunderstanding situation with Tamara that will make her realize she’s not. While that might be heartbreaking in this episode, since they have so many other things to deal with first before a romantic relationship is even possible again for them, it’s actually a good sign for SwanFire, if we see definite proof that Emma is still not over Neal. (I hate angst about SwanFire so freaking much though. 😥 )
This could also be great for SwanFire in the long run because even if Neal is free right now, I’m sure he thinks that there’s no chance that Emma would ever want to reunite with him at this point. If he notices that she’s jealous over Tamara, then hopefully that will help him build up self confidence to pursue Emma knowing that she actually is still interested in him. Plus, I’m sure Henry will come to realize that Emma still has feelings for Neal maybe with his grandparents help, so maybe he’ll help push Neal along in the right direction too since I’m sure it will take awhile for Neal to build up the courage to do so.
I wish there was an smiley that accurately showed what we are all experiencing right now.
I think the Smiley would be pulling out its hair and staring at a clock.
PERFECT.
lol, so true.
