x So Emma just basically summed up everything that is wrong with CS in the first sentence and stated just why SF was so right in the second one.TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE EMMA SWAN.
So I know I’ve been AWOL for like…ever… :S but the feels, just when I think this show can’t make me hurt anymore it completely blows it out of the water. Was super fun to watch my CS friends squirm though… Had to come back to my SF haven to feel understood. <3

[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Some passing thoughts on this Monday morning
Emma is not over Neal. Not even by a long shot. I know all of these Neal references were bait, but they were so carefully crafted as to make Neal look like an absolutely stellar man. Someone you would fall in love with and someone you would stay in love with for a long time. Like Emma, back in season three, confessed to her parents, “I never stopped loving him.” There is something heart wrenching about watching Dark One Emma Swan cry over a dreamcatcher after hearing Rumple talk about his lost little boy and how you always lose the ones you love.
On the trip to Knobles, DSB had a great metaphor for OUAT that I think I’d like to share. The story of OUAT was a bridge and it was really Emma’s fairy tale. When we meet the Swan, she is broken hearted and closed off and has her famous walls but over the course of the show, in the end, with villains and magic and plot along the way, she opens up and becomes a fully realized Savior. Emma was always supposed to go dark (heroes journey 101) but on the other side of that darkness were her home and her family. Part of this narrative bridge was Neal and SwanFire. It was part of the structure that held up that bridge. The story of Emma becoming the fully realized Savior and a fully realized Emma Swan was finding a new kind of Tallahassee with Neal and Henry in the town of Storybrooke with the Evil Queen, Snow White, Prince Charming, Rumple, and Belle and everyone else. It was the idea that Tallahassee need not be the actual Floridian city but a feeling–it was the feeling of home. Never forget that this entire series began with Emma being cast out of her home. The ending is clear: Emma Swan comes home at long last and is embraced by and embraces all those she loves with open arms.
What happened, along the way, was the the show removed those structural beams and replaced them Styrofoam. The narrative is still there: Emma will still go on her heroes journey and still rise as a fully realized Savior and fully realized Emma Swan but the poetry, the magical poetry of OUAT, is long gone. Instead of Neal, we have another character who doesn’t have the same resonance and poetic appeal that Neal did in terms of Emma’s journey to find her home and now with our current plot of Emma’s battle with the darkness. Who better to know what it means to be lost to the power of the Dark One if not Nealfire Cassidy? This entire show centered around a young boy who watched his father be over taken by the Darkness, flee from that father, and then that father seek out a way to find him again and create a Savior in the process. Hook’s character is periphery to all of that and that’s why the narrative bridge is now so lackluster and full of holes. It can’t hold up under the scrutiny it once did because it has removed its support beams.
Keep the gifs coming.

There’s this feeling I can’t shake. I just miss Neal.

Never forget it was Emma remembering what Neal taught her about what home means that allowed Emma’s true love magic to return and get her home.
