So…. apparently CS is just a “fun and fluffy” relationship now lololololol.

Here’s a nice meta from orladark countering that 🙂

Ok, I observed SF tag lately because I wanted to know other side of story and tried to understand why people like SF. And I saw one post that I couldn’t just pass by. Sorry, I’m not going to tag it SF or reblog that post with my thoughts, but I want to write this.

Author of that post actually in the same position as me, she also trying to understand the other side. And while I agree that Emma and Neal have a lot of drama overcome, a lot of baggage and it’s would be interesting to watch if you ship it. I hugely disagree about CS. That it’s all fun and fluff, and Hook is sexy, that’s why people ship it.

I’m sorry, CS is not only fun and flirt, you probably forgot some of this scenes:
– Hook seeing Emma and an orphan just by look in her eyes;
– Hook and Emma bond about past lovers “she is gone”, “maybe I was once”;
– Hook saying he wouldn’t abandon her the way she did with him;
– Hook sincerely saying why he hurt Belle and open up again about past love “I hurt his heart… He killed my love, I know the feeling”;
– Emma and Hook bonding in Granny diner “We understand each other… look after yourself and you’ll never get hurt”, because she knows that, she was like that before and she gives him the choice to be a part of something;
– Hook and Emma grieving over Neal’s death in most comfortable silence ever and bonding even more about that (pictures in Neal’s cave, etc)
– Hook saying he also knows what it feels like to lose hope;
– Hook putting faith in her by over and over again saying she can do it, she will save his son.

I’m sorry, some probably slipped my mind, some may degree, but some points you can’t just ignore. So no, CSers ship Killian and Emma not only because they fun and flirt, and sexy. Captain Swan also have emotional depth and I just wrote some that was in actual interaction between them. There are a lot of yet to come, I’m sure.

So, thank you very much, we have a lot of reasons to ship our ship, don’t say it’s just for fun, CS deliver.

 

Like, this kind of argument is so silly to me, because they are literally ignoring what has been shown in the actual show. It is an insult to the writers, the people who film it, and most importantly the actors, who work really frigging hard and show the connection CS has very well IMO.

CS has been described as a relationship between “kindred spirits” more than once, BY EVERYONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO THESE CHARACTERS.

I don’t know if they understand what the phrase “kindred spirits” means because to me it implies a deep emotional understanding.

EDIT: I found the perfect gif to insert here!!!! 🙂 (well they ignore the “kindred spirits” thing rather than use it incorrectly but whatever the gif is from the Princess Bride and that’s our thing so!)

Apparently it does to urbandictionary as well 🙂

Kindred Spirits are two people that make a special connection by sharing a bond that has joined them by the means of an experience that has drawn them together on a higher level of consciousness. This connection can be from the same experience at the same time or two separate experiences similar in nature.

All I have to say is “lol”.
