On the flipside, according to fans, we are supposed to blindly believe Hook is no longer Hook but Killian. He’s seen as justified for changing in a matter of MINUTES, becoming a pirate because his brother just died… And here Baelfire has been abandoned over and over again by people who claim to love him, and he’s done nothing but sacrifice himself to help these people… and had 300 years of being alone… I’m not a hook hater by any means, but just using this as an example… the same people who claim Neal does not equal Bae are the same ones who claim after 5 days Hook is no longer Hook but Killian… a man who turned into a Pirate at the drop of a hat. I’m not downplaying the loss of a sibling. I lost a sibling. My husband has lost a sibling. It HURTS and it never goes away. EVER. But the instantaneous change from honorable navy captain to ruthless pirate was just so so so quick. Granted we haven’t seen the entire story of Navy Killian. But the way they set it up, they led us to believe he was this honorable navy captain. So for now, that’s what we have to go on.
I agree, it’s just not hard for me to see Neal as Bae. I feel like that’s why I love Neal so much. Because from the beginning of S1 I LOVED BAELFIRE, and for someone who has had a life such as he, he’s done pretty great. He hasn’t murdered anyone, he hasn’t committed attempted murder, and he continues to sacrifice himself for those around him WHEN HE GETS NOTHING in return. Absolutely nothing.
His heart is SO BEAUTIFUL. <3<3<3<3 and I have #HopeForNeal to get his happy ending.
