What Emma Swan’s actual happy ending looks (looked) like:

“@btchyblonde: @WilliamShatner what do you think about Hook and Emma being tested?” For cooties?

Interesting that Hook gave Ursula back her happy ending and reunited Father and Daughter. He’s split up many families and could stand to do the same to two other fathers, two other sons… and a grandpa. :/
Keeper Nealfire's/Bae's scarf, Henry and Neal's bribery ice cream sundae, Baelfire's sword, the coconut map, and more.

Quoted for TRUTH.
What I wrote in another thread in reply to some questions @TheGoldenKey posed:
But, does she [Ursula] really have her happy ending or is it just temporary, like Rumple & Reggie’s or now possibly Hook’s?
I’ve been wondering about that same question. I think the answer is that it is possible for villains to get their happy ending, provided they really have changed and go about it the correct way. I don’t really buy there being some cosmic rule that good “has to win” as Henry said S2 though. Not even heroes are guaranteed a happy ending (just look at what happened to Ruth, Graham and Neal, for example). I don’t think anyone is guaranteed a happy ending, nor are the villains owed one after the atrocities they’ve committed.
I think it was within Rumple’s grasp to have a happy ending with Belle, despite everything that happened with Neal. After the death of his son, Rumple pledged to turn over a new leaf, to become a man worthy of his son’s sacrifice. However, Rumple wasted that second chance he’d been given by Neal’s death. Rumple went about it all wrong by thinking he could have everything, which he cannot. Now I fear Rumple will meet a villain’s end, but that it won’t necessarily be redemptive like the last time in 3×11.
When it comes to Regina, I think she could have her happy ending, if only she’d realize it’s right in front of her eyes, in the form of her son, Henry. Robin Hood is just icing on the cake. But she doesn’t “need” him to be happy. She can be happy here and now. Out of all of the villains, Regina has made the furthest strides towards real redemption. I think Regina realizing that Henry is enough would, in a way, help her achieve inner peace. Maybe that inner peace is what would help Regina most towards achieving real, sustainable happiness that isn’t so much dependent upon romance. And then who knows? Sometimes love comes when we least expect it, when we stop striving so much for something.
When it comes to Hook, I just don’t know. He shows increasing awareness of his own darkness, which is good, but for every step he takes forward, he takes two back. For example, he gave into that darkness when he pulled a gun on Ursula or punched Will. He was referring to himself as a pirate in 4×15, and now that he has his ship back, it’s going to be an even bigger struggle to give up his pirating ways. Why doesn’t he get a real job and get a permanent residence in Storybrooke? I think he is at heart, a sailor, and has the sea in his blood. So it’s going to be hard for him to remain in SB long term. I think while Hook’s current idea of a happy ending includes Emma, it also includes the open seas. I think Hook’s real idea of a happy ending is what he had with Milha: a woman who loves adventure, the open seas, and him, without necessarily being constrained by a child. Milha abandoned Baelfire, but Emma would never abandon Henry.
When it comes to Ursula, her story was all a bit rushed. I think she’s happy for the present having her voice back and being reunited with her father under the sea. However, I don’t necessarily think it’s the last we’ve seen of Ursula either. While she might be able to return to her old life, it might not be so easy for her to give up her old ways. Time will tell if she really has made peace with everything that happened to her.
Regardless of what Ariel said, can any villain really have a Happy Ending as long as Emma is the Saviour?
I think the idea of everyone’s happy ending being dependent on Emma Swan is crap. It would feel a lot more authentic if the villains would take responsibility for their own happiness. Emma Swan having the heart with the darkest potential honestly feels like a plot device, or a way to make the villains look better by comparison. Emma in S1 was honestly my favorite character, so I hate to think she’s going to have to be tarnished to give villains their happy ending without them having to really work for it. I don’t mind Emma having struggles and temptations, since she’s human after all, but the thing I always really loved about Emma is that out of all the characters, she had some of the greatest cause (i.e. growing up feeling unloved) to turn towards darkness but didn’t. This idea of Emma giving into said darkness really doesn’t sit well with me though, and would really make me discontinue watching if the writers make her go full-on evil. I don’t like the idea of Black Swan one bit being used in a bid to prop up villains who don’t necessarily even deserve happiness, especially if it comes at the expense of people who try to do good.

Interesting to note that OUAT did NOT win the night in the demo for the first time in a while, their GA numbers are way down (demo same as last week but look at those overall numbers…those are horrible!!), and I am THRILLED Revenge was steady with last week’s number (small victory for me).
#MoreBOOMLessGloom^ The ratings were low at just 1.8, with a dip in overall viewership. Too bad (not).

Oh hey the site’s back! I tried posting this before but the site crapped itself right after I hit submit…

Great minds… 😉

Yeah, THAT. I got all sorts of Nealfire FEELS from this ep. All sorts of sadness for the wasted potential that could have been Neal and Hook dealing with the crap in their past and struggling through to a proper reconciliation of some sort.
I saw a gifset on tumblr which I won’t post because it’s by a CSer and my comments on the scene are anti-CS, so here’s the transcript of the scene instead…
Snow – Anything from Hook? Think he’s managed to turn Ursula yet?
Charming – If she doesn’t turn him.
Emma – Really, we’re thinking that now?
Charming – Well he kinda went to a dark place this morning.
Emma – Do you blame him? If Gold did to me what he did to Hook, I’d wanna shove that dagger through his heart, too.
Snow – Emma, that’s not you, you’re not –
Emma – It’s also not Hook. Relax, I’m just saying I understand where he was coming from.So, the big deal about this storyline is that Rumple wants to turn Emma dark, right? And in this scene, it seems like the cracks are starting to show and her potential for dark thoughts are being vocalised, especially in the enthusiastic way she says “shove” when talking about stabbing Rumple to death. So her potential for darkness is starting to seep out…in a moment when she’s empathising with Hook. She’s starting to think like the guy who she keeps blindly insisting isn’t bad any more, when even the guy himself can see that he’s not an angel. Now, I’m not convinced that the writers even realise how they’re writing this stuff, so I’m not convinced that it’ll be followed through in a way that makes sense…but I’m just sayin’.
Because I’m a sucker for pain:

Like i said to @heather on twiter, this shows that people dont care about it anymore, also is easter movies season with big movies premiering Cinderella, Insurgent, furious 7, that makes people not satying at home, makes them go out, also depending on the weather, people wont stay home to see a showm when they can be outside. I say will be interesting seing this Sunday, bc is the sunday bf easter, that means that many people may be on holidays or traveling. Also the week when ouat returns after easter break, bc that is the week that Avengers premieres,so will be fun to see how ratings behave.
