For what it’s worth. 🙂

As for Prince Eric, he really has no set in stone back story of his own, he just exists so that Ariel has someone to fall in love with. Having him be someone we haven’t yet met would make Ariel’s story disjointed from the major plot of the show, and as an Ariel fan, I’d like to see her get a better treatment than that. Making Killian a former prince, and then making him Ariel’s prince would connect Ariel’s story in quite nicely, and make her seem less random.
See I totally disagree- Has Robin Hood, Cinders, Red etc made the show disjointed? They all have stories in their own right, but they are connected to our mains story- they don’t have to take over characters out of each others stories to keep it all smooth- very few aside from Rumple have ‘taken’ over other FTL characters outside of their own ‘stories’.
With Robin, Cinderella, Red, they all had a connection to something that was happening with the story of a lead character. Looking at how things stand right now overall on the show, and imagining what may be in store for the end of this season and for next season, we're getting Neverland, definitely in flashbacks, and quite probably in present day as well. Kitsis was quoted the other day as saying, “Neverland is known for fairies and mermaids, and that will pay off.” And there's gonna be a scene before this season ends of Hook telling young Bae about mermaids, so he must have had dealings with them of some description. ( http://24.media.tumblr.com/e62f979970135a6eb0851b1b79660c8f/tumblr_mm31bhWmUa1rhuf8xo1_1280.png )
If in fact Ariel will be a Neverland mermaid as Eddy's quote implies, and they want to tie her story to the main plot of the show instead of having it as a stand alone story, they need to have someone from the main cast playing a role in her story. Main cast who we know for sure were in Neverland in the past are Hook and Nealfire. The other major player in The Little Mermaid is Ursula, and there's been speculation on Rumple, Regina, even Cora having been Ursula, so there's every chance they could tie Ariel to one of those characters to make her relevant. But Hook is also a legit possibility, given that we know he was in Neverland for quite some time and apparently knows something about mermaids.
I can see it’s something we wont agree on, as we have 2 very different perspectives on the subject 😉 & part of why I didn’t search out a thread (if there is one) or start a new one as I didn’t want to have to defend my view to full on Ariel/Hook shippers 😉
Yep, we’ll just have to agree to disagree on this one. Neither of us is gonna change the other’s mind. I’ve never crack shipped any couple before, but God help me, once I started thinking about the possibilites for Hookriel, it sucked me right in and I ended up reading fanfic. Once you reach that point, you’re sort of a lost cause. 😆

Even though I am not a Hookriel shipper, I still think Ariel would a wonderful past romantic encounter in Hook’s life: one of the women who wants adventure, and Hook can give it to her. I see the parallels with Milah’s wish for a bigger life.
Sounds like you view Hookriel in a similar way I do CaptainSwan. I may think that SwanFire is endgame, but I actually think CaptainSwan will be hot for a while in the mean time, and I’m OK with that, (which is why I lurk in this thread). 😉

Oh, and since you are a Hookriel shipper, just wanted to share a YT video I like, in case if you haven’t come across it already. Think of it as an olive branch 😀

That’s a great vid, thanks for the link! It will be nice when there’s an actual Once Ariel, so all the fanart and vid makers have the right face to stick in there. 😉
