KeymasterReposting because of hope that it isn’t over for Emma and Neal! This is the writers’ way of assuring us that Emma and Neal’s story is far from over!
If true love were easy everyone would have it

ParticipantThat tumblr essay about Hook makes some great points. Previous versions of Hook didn’t have any particularly special place in my heart before seeing the OUAT version, and Captain Jack Sparrow did have a special place in my heart, so the deviations from the literary Hook probably don’t bug me as much as I know they bug many people. What’s bugging me about Hook right now is that there’s so much potential for other things they could be doing with him that would be far more compelling, instead of having reduced him to a guy who pines for Emma.
Imma send Hook a copy of He’s Just Not That Into You for Christmas, (the book, not the movie, because I don’t want him getting distracted when he sees Snow White), and hope he gets the hint and gets over himself and moves onto something bigger and better in the new year.
Someone was saying that Neal is actually a villain. No word of lie, a VILLAIN! People were supporting that and bashing the character like crazy! I had to jump in and post using canon to counter what they were saying (yep, they were even making up scenes that hadn’t occurred on the show) and then they went crazy over my suggesting that they were wrong because their arguments countered canon (confirmed tweets/interviews/podcast/script). Yep, even canon is wrong over there because they say Adam & Eddy lie. LOL! Someone from this site (not going to say who) even went at it and tore Neal to shreds and refused to acknowledge official podcasts, where K&H discuss Neal in great depth.
Yep, sadly I’ve seen it often out there in the wilds of fandom. Canon facts ignored, actual dialogue from the show only taken as half statements because it suits their argument better, (eg: Emma just wished Neal was dead, she never said anything about how she still loves him and probably always will). Some people have a seriously warped view of Neal, and they use that warped view to justify why Emma can’t be with him, so if/when Emma does get back with him, those people will cry foul, even though it’s something they’ve been laying groundwork for, and building the characters up to for ages. It infuriates me to no end when people deliberately misinterpret stuff to do with Neal, in an attempt to vilify him, (the guy is a victim FFS, has been for much of his long life, has suffered so much, and hasn’t turned to evil because of it, instead he’s hanging in there with his incredibly damaged but still full of strength heart, HE IS NOT A VILLAIN), been times when it’s made me so mad I actually start shaking, but I try to tell my self that really, it’s the haters’ loss, because they’re not properly appreciating the show that’s being presented.

Funny, given the fact that Ginny Goodwin starred in the film based on that book! Maybe Snow can suggest is as easy-reading for Hook when they get back to SB.

ParticipantYay for pretty things!!!!!!!!!!! 😀
Wish I had more pretty things to add here tonight but all I’ve got for you guys is this random tidbit: When you’re frustrated about things, like this fandom going to pieces during a long hiatus or CS mania taking over half the internet, hitting the snot out of a volleyball for an hour (which I got to do tonight) is an AMAZING form of therapy. 😉

KeymasterSlurpeez posted this tweet in the CSF thread earlier tonight and I can’t believe I didn’t know this tweet existed. I thought for I would have seen it before, but apparently not.
@once_fan @AKewel13 @RumbelleFan1 we've separated snow and charming multiple times. And Neal and Emma multiple times.

In one tweet he compares Neal and Emma to the two major canon+endgame ships.
