ParticipantYAY COOKIES! Now I hope even more that it happens.
Seriously though, that’s why I started writing it out in the first place, (before it morphed into an actual fanfic thing), to show how I’ve used actual canon themes and logic to come up with the crack headcanon. It’s not just random musings, it’s musings based on what the show has actually given us, because I love me some context.
Congrats, is perfect.
If only this happen.

ParticipantSoooo, I started writing out the details of my end of season headcanon…and it sorta became a four page fanfic thing? I’m not a “writer” by any means, it’s rather pedestrian in style, but yeah, anyway, at least now if it doesn’t happen on the show, it still totally happened because I wrote it.
(Never attached a file to a post before, so let’s see if this works.)
OMG!! Loved it! You should write for this show!

Okay, beyond being a giant ball of sadness, Quiet Minds was also like one giant here’s why i love Neal Cassidy manifesto for me, and this moment is really important to me and I need to talk about it.Here’s what’s going on: Neal just showed up out of nowhere in the woods, collapsed on the floor of his father’s shop, can’t remember the past year or what he did, including an ominous scary mark on his hand and how he got it, and the father he just watched die is apparently alive and missing. So:
1. Neal’s first thought is immediately about the son he can’t remember fighting to get back to. Because the one constant about Neal Cassidy since the moment he found out he hada son is that Henry is the first thing, the most important thing. Because so much of this episode, about Neal’s entire arc since Manhattan, has been about his desire to be a better father to Henry than he ever had. And I have plethora of problems with how they chose to let that play out, but the important part to me? Neal loves Henry more than anything and Henry is always always always first.
2. He actively recognizes Henry and Emma had a whole life without him. He’s had, what, five minutes to process that a whole year passed? Emma and Henry have memories together that he’s not going to be a part of. They had a whole year of reality, and in that first gif—he’s letting it sink in that he missed another whole year of his son’s life— he’s probably taller now, more of a teenager, likes and dislikes a whole new set of things and Neal missed all of it— and I’m sure that absolutely wrecks him. He wants to see him. But he’s not going to push. He’s not going to force his way in as Henry’s father in whatever thing the two of them have going— he wants to be Henry’s father more than anything, but he knows it’s not just about him. He doesn’t get to slot himself him, but he wants more than anything to work to find his place there.
Neal hasn’t really had a family since he was 14 years old and it’s all he’s ever wanted. He’s capable of making really impulsive decisions when it comes to Emma and Henry. They make him beyond desperate. But there’s a line to that, and what’s so interesting to me is that line is only ever drawn by Henry and Emma’s best interest. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to get back to them, to be there when they need and want, but on their terms. Because his love for Henry and Emma is about Henry and Emma, not about how badly he needs them.

ParticipantTESTING okay good, we’re back.
Ok, this post here might explain how I randomly saw “Howdy RumplesGirl” in the far right corner of my screen instead of my own username about five minutes ago, LOL 😉
Those GIF sets are giving me major feels today. I think everyone in the world just wants to love someone and be loved in return. It’s a basic human need and the fact that he so rarely had that in his life kills me. Neal basically died still feeling alone in the world even though he was with Emma and Rumple at the time. He was losing the only family he’d ever really known and didn’t even get a chance to see his son again. The fact that Emma and Rumple didn’t even TRY to do anything to save him breaks my heart. It’s also the only time on this entire show that we’ve seen Neal break down and cry. I will never be over the horrible way they treated Nealfire for this entire series and then for them to have the gall to end his life that way, that’s still unfathomable and unforgiveable to me. 😥
