[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"
And yeah, that’s one of the many problems with CS. Henry is basically a non-existent part of that relationship, and when he is present in some way, Hook is either displaying stunningly stupid behavior with him, or Henry is highlighting that he doesn’t like Hook. It’s not even about making everything Emma does about Henry, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing for a person to have parts of their lives that aren’t all about their kids. But when you’re in a serious relationship with someone and your kid basically disappears not just from the equation, but your life? There’s something wrong with that.
From THIS very well written compilation of posts on Tumblr this morn’.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"
A lot of people criticized the very idea of SF, claiming that pair was only about Henry, rather than Emma. That wasn’t true, however, since it was mostly about Emma an Neal’s professed love for each other, in addition to their mutual love for their son. While a child may be very important to a relationship, it’s certainly not the only factor; but when a relationship like CS doesn’t even consider a child’s feelings whatsoever, then that becomes problematic. The bad step-parent is a classic fairytale trope for a reason.
I think that there are good step-parents. My mom’s step-mom is the perfect example a wonderful, loving step-mom, but that is because she treats my mother like her own daughter. By contrast, there are some step-parents who truly dislike their step-kids, and vice-verse. If Graham had lived, I would’ve shipped him and Emma (assuming Emma had decided not to get back with Neal). Graham clearly cared about Henry, even before Graham developed feelings for Emma, and Graham would’ve been a great step-dad to Henry. For similar reasons, I actually think Robin Hood is a good choice of step-father for Henry (i.e. Robin is a good father to Roland, and I think he’d care for Henry independently of his love for Regina).
However, I just never could see Hook as a good step-father. Why? Just look at how bad a step-dad Hook was to Baelfire, having twice abandoned him; Milha ran off with Hook, leaving her young son behind, and then when he had a second chance to do right by Milha’s son, he blew it. Hook handed Bae over to a demon-boy. Hook then pursued the mother of his step-son’s kid. So messed up.

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I am just curious about how many of you read the giver series?
I read he first book and didn’t know it continues so when I found out it did, I read them all.
WHY AM I ASKING?it seems that alot of ouat was taken from the book “messenger” of the giver series. there is a tradesmaster who makes magical “deals” as well as a blind seer with scars for eyes there are alot of similarities but i never had a chance to post it and now I kind of forgot alot of it… 🙁
oh wait, there was also this kid with powers of healing where he would place his hands on a wound or something and it would shimmer and heal (like the way rumple heals wounds)
ok if you read it and remember other similarities, what did you think??
LOOK!
Happy Ouat day to you. #brothers @colinodonoghue1 @MRaymondJames pic.twitter.com/rx1yEzjUFf

I’ll be over here. Crying.
Till this day….I still say that no one could make Emma light up and smile the way Neal could! If you look at her smiles with Hook, they are inferior to the wide, dorky, happy smiles Neal put on her face! And if ANYONE could have prevented Emma from going dark, it should have been the man whose seen Emma at both her worst and her best!
Neal wasn’t the ideal pretty boy with the bad boy attitude, Neal was a REAL MAN who handled REAL BUSINESS! Someone should have shook Emma and say, darling you’re not in high school anymore, it’s time to let this bad boy fantasy go, and go take the real man who can handle actual responsibilities.
Neal knew Emma….plain and simple….he knew her better than just about any other character on this show! And can you imagine how much more entertaining that roadtrip would have been had Neal gone along with Emma and Regina to go find Lily!
I guess what I’m trying to say is….Please please please please, can we just go back!
