Love that essay. It completey explains not only why I haven’t been able to bond with Neal but why I expected to bond with Neal and then was frustrated when I couldn’t. And the best part is, the explanation in the essay has NOTHING to do with Hook – just like our CS ship has been saying. My frustrations with how Neal has been handled have NOTHING to do with me wanting Emma with Hook. I still wanted to see some kind of depth to Neal as a character – nothing that had to do with a triangle necessarily, wanted to see Hook and Bae’s backstory dug into – was dying to see all of that, hoping we will see more of Neal and Hook together dealing with THEIR personal aftermath in 3B.
But great essay. I do hope the SF folks will maybe understand what we have been trying to say hearing it from her perspective instead of insisting we are only seeing those things because we are biased by CS.
So I’m obviously still here but in more of a lurking capacity since I’ve been so busy. I have to laugh cause every time I look at the forum on my phone I am around the same people and I am sure they think I am some kind of freak staring at gifs of the same two people making out every day – sometimes close up, sometimes far away, sometimes slow motion, in different colors, focusing on different parts of the kiss. . . : ).
