it’s not gonna be swayed by a vocal minority of fans online.
Adam has always maintained online that he and Eddy are telling the story they want to tell, but they love the passion.
We could spin this either way depending on which ship you come down on. So I’ll just leave my shippy goggles on and believe that they’ve set up Neal and Emma from the beginning.
They may have lived as though they were in our world all those years in SB, but that wasn’t really the real world. Neal’s been out there, living it, and knows exactly what Emma has had to deal with for her whole life, and how her mind works as a result.
Very true. They understand each other and the strategies for coping in this world. It bonds them.
I can imagine, the first night after he gets to NL, while everyone else is asleep, Neal and Emma are sitting together, apart from the rest, having a slightly awkward “about the portal” conversation. I wouldn’t wanna see him pushing for anything, because they have other things to focus on right now, but I’d like for him to say something like, “When I said I love you, I just need you to know that I meant it.” Then she’ll say she meant it too, and rest her head on his shoulder, and he’ll wrap his arm around her, and that’s the end of the scene. Maybe at the very end toss in a shot of a sneaky pirate, eavesdropping and looking ambiguously lost in thought, just for the sake of drama.
