Reply To: Emma + Baelfire = Swanfire

So there was a bit of a thing happening tonight on Twitter in regards to Nealfire’s official poster. Adam seems to think that it has already been released and was given the pic of Neal with his hand in his pocket. But with no words. I get that the show like its money and maybe they are trying to sweep Neal’s poster under the rug but I need to rant. It’s wholly unfair. WHOLLY. There are a lot of fans of Nealfire and SwanFire and I’m really tired of being treated like we don’t exist and like the show isn’t at least setting up SOMETHING for SwanFire. ABC official Twitter can’t even spell his name right. It was never officially released and when asked if the “Believe in Second Chances” one WAS official, ABC flat out said no but it would be coming soon. But it didn’t. Couple this with the 308 press release which makes it seem like Neal wasn’t helping search for Henry at all (um. No. he was one of the 4 who went in search of Henry while Hook and Tink stayed behind….) and it’s all….just…frustrating. If it’s not endgame, fine. I’ll deal. But at least acknowledge that Nealfire IS Henry’s father!!! And important to the cast! And show! And fans!

I have the same rant, and I tweeted the Oct 19th response about the posters not being “ready” from the official OUAT twitter, that they would come soon.  We’re in December now, and they never responded once to my questions about the posters.  When someone asks to invalidate them though? They reply very quickly to disown the posters.   I understand some fan groups are bigger, more vocal than others but I feel like after saying “soon” they ought to have had an update or at least say “We are releasing them strategically.”    Is it so hard to come up with something for Neal? If 2nd chances are too shippy, then find something else.    “Believe in family.”  Whether or not he is romantically with Emma, he is still connected to the family and I don’t know, it would be something.   Then again, this way I can just go on thinking his theme was 2nd chances because it feels to me the thing that makes he most sense for him.
