KeymasterSharing here because I know you all get it. It’s about this answer given by A&E. Bringing back Bae not being the quest of Rumple re-writing his own happy ending is absolutely the most absurd thing I’ve ever read about this show. We know Bae is no longer with us, but that’s not the point. The point is that Rumple is seeking to do the impossible and give the villains their happy endings, and Rumple’s happy ending was Bae. Now for obvious reasons I know this isn’t possible for practical reasons like ABC won’t stand for it and MRJ isn’t available. But I wish A&E wouldn’t continue to pretend like there is some story-driven reason why Rumple couldn’t do the seemingly impossible and bring back his boy if he wanted. Forget blood magic and resurrection for a moment. We’re talking about Rumple’s quest of re-writing the entire story here so that he gets his happy ending. Who did Rumple declare to be his happy ending? Baelfire. Rumple’s quest seems to be to ensure he gets his own happy ending, and they’re asking me to believe that Rumple wouldn’t do his utmost to secure Bae’s return (at whatever age I might add). They’re telling me to believe Rumple wouldn’t move heaven and earth to get his boy back if he could rewrite his story. Sorry. Not buying it. Not buying it one bit.
Every single line of this. All of it. Every last bit. In order to believe that Rumple would never even attempt to bring back Nealfire, then I have to ignore every single thing I know about him.–a man who ruthlessly moved worlds to find his child, no matter the cost. Yeah, THAT was Rumple. This guy on my screen now? He’s Not! Rumple and the Rumple I once loved so much only barely peaks out from time to time
CS drenched in heavily subtext of SQ.
With a heaping dose of OQ and a small miniscule portion of Snowing when the writers remember that they exist.

ParticipantHave a new twiter account with some friend, well the account belonged to her in the 1st place, but since we have some projects we both run the account now.
So tweeted Shatner from there, i will post the text in full, to avoid having to post 4 tweets.
Sorry but no Neal,u see the show, u see how the other characters pretend he doesnt exist, so no reason for him to appear, since he was killed to make CS, they wont show him and the actor has other projects so not available and finally u know how ratings work, they have to tease to make people see, also “never say never”, is not a no, but is also not a yes.

All of what you said. ALL OF THAT!!

Yup. But Rumple being willing to destroy a world in order to find his son was only the basis for the whole fricking story, so it’s no biggie if they just pretend it was never even a thing.
Unforgiven Rewrite: Sheriff’s Office Scene
Emma:*waiting for computer program to load*
Neal:*knocks on the already open office door carryout bag in hand* Grilled cheese, just the way you like it.
Emma:*smiling* Fries?
Neal:*scoffs* I think I know you better than that. Onion rings.
Emma:You passed the test. *she sets the bag down and takes Neal’s hand instead* Neal, I think I’m gonna need your help.
Neal:Too much fried food for one person? I guess I can help you out.
Emma:It’s not that. Regina’s trying to see what Pinocchio knows about Henry’s book and the Author. She wants me to talk to him because I knew him as an adult and I thought maybe you could come too since you had dealings with him.
Neal:Emma, you know how I feel about Operation Mongoose. As someone who’s made my more than my fair share of mistakes I feel like we’re in charge of our own happy ending.
Emma:Are you sure it’s not because you blame August for what happened, for driving you away?
Neal:I was angry for a long time, but mostly at myself. I ruined our lives when I left. I took control of your fate when I should have told you what I knew and let you take over from there.
Emma:That’s just it, Neal. What if this Author person has been pulling all our strings this whole time? All Regina wants is to make her own happy ending.
Neal:I still think Regina needs to take some responsibility for her actions before she worries about a happily ever after, but if it’s important to you I’ll be there.
Emma:Thank you. I just have to show some evidence to David and then-
Neal:*cutting Emma off* Have some lunch first, the world’s not gonna end if you have a hot meal.
Emma:*tentatively* Would you like to join me?
Neal:I don’t mind if I do.Darkness at the Edge of Town Rewrite: The Library Scene
Neal:*wordlessly passes Belle a styrofoam coffee cup as she flits past him on her way to the library’s woefully outdated computer*
Belle:*speaking over the sound of the outdated computer humming to life* How was breakfast with Emma?
Neal:We miss Henry when he’s with Regina, but it’s nice when it’s just the two of us. We’re taking things slow. It’s… nice.
Belle:I rather think things are progressing too slow if you’re reduced to using the word nice more than once.
Neal:*teasingly* Are you in that much of a hurry to have more grandchildren?
Belle:*cringes*
Neal:I’m sorry Belle. I didn’t think.
Belle:No, you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s still so hard to believe that I allowed him to get away with all this. *gesturing to the easels covered with pictures and notes about the sorcerer’s hat and the elusive Yen Sid*
Neal:Belle you can’t blame yourself for the things my father did. It’s good of you to try and clean up his mess.
Belle:He was lying to me the whole time Neal. You know I… I should have been able to see through him.
Neal:I wasn’t paying attention either Belle. I just wanted to believe that he had changed.
Belle:We were blinded by love and he used it like a weapon, as dangerous and persuasive as his magic.
Neal:Hey. As big a bastard as Papa can be he did love you. No matter what he still loves us both. We just can’t let him be near temptation anymore.
Belle:I hope someday he’ll find what he’s looking for. *clears throat* We need to get back to work freeing the fairies. These translations are difficult, but I’ve reached out to some of the finest minds in the world, and one of them will get back to us. I know it.WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN! *sigh*

Yes to this as well. The scene would be 100000000x better if it was Nealfire and Belle. You know…FAMILY (isn’t that ONCE is about?!)

ParticipantThose rewrites. Oh my gosh. Its amazing how things make so much more sense when they are how as was intended from the beginning. He really is the missing piece. W/o the connection, Hook is just some Joe Schmoe whose lines could be said by obscure townsperson #3….
