ParticipantLove is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
Ann LandersAnn Landers was a famous advice columnist. That quote needs a pretty GIF set but I’ll leave it to the talented people to try that stuff

Wish I knew how to make gifs, because that gifset NEEDS to be made! Such a perfect quote for SF!
Also, what struck out at me was the Swanfirefamily all separated took leaps of faith. Neal, Emma, and Henry, that was amazing SwanfireFamily moment, show how that family is connected even though they are apart.
YES! This needs a gifset too, if there isn’t already one.
These made me laugh out loud. From Tumblr
Those were funny, but that first one says it all, really.

KeymasterFavorite SF moment from 304?
It’s really hard cause it’s one of my top episodes for S3 but I guess the most obvious choice is Emma declaring that she never once stopped loving Neal to her parents. Such a big step for her!

What kinda phone? Trick is to get something with the right ratio of dimensions to fit your screen size.
I have a Droid Maxx (the latest model from Motorola) and it seems like pics that are more square shaped are what work best for the background. Hoping I can find something to use for it soon! 🙂
Love all the new pretty stuff and I read that Neal essay the other day and was almost in tears over it. Talk about hitting the nail on the head for why so many people want Neal to find his happy ending! Poor guy is the punching bag of OUAT and it seriously wouldn’t surprise me if there’s an actual episode in S3 pt. 2 of him getting the crap beat out of him at some point. It just seems inevitable after everything else. Just one good thing….why can’t we have that for him??! 🙁

I loved that moment too because it was so raw for her to admit something so personal to anyone. She really has only said “I love you” to two people on the show so those aren’t words she throws around that easily. If this was the right episode (which I’m not 100% sure about right now), I also liked the part where Neal found their campsite and when he said Emma’s name. That was so beautiful and he smiled so sweetly knowing immediately that she had been there. It was like a brief flicker of light on his face after all the drama with Rumple and the fear over Henry’s safety. 🙂

for a long time my headcanon of the Tallahassee incident is that the members of the Lost Boys were holding Neal back while August called the cops. And then to prevent Neal from running after Emma, they knocked him out.
🙁 I have a lot feelings about Neal

My head canon for that scene involves him coming back into the USA because he wants to find Emma after her 11 months in jail are over, but after he goes to Phoenix to try to find her, he ends up getting arrested for the watches anyway and spends some time in prison dealing with inmates who aren’t too kind to him. After he gets out (two years later…), he goes to Tallahassee hoping to find her there but he doesn’t because the two years she spent there were just ending as he was arriving to the area so fate, of course, has intervened yet again and kept them apart. That’s when he finally gives up looking for her and starts trying to figure out his life and eventually finds himself living and working in NYC. *sigh* 🙁

So many sad headcanons.
Can I just hug Neal? Is that a thing I can do?

ParticipantFavorite SF moment from 304?
RG beat me to my favorite moment of 3×4 when Emma told her parents how much she loved Neal. I suppose my second favorite scenes were when Neal said, “Emma” like he did in “Manhattan” and also how Emma said, “home” like she did in “Tallahassee.” Seeing Neal’s cave and realizing he was once a Lost Boy like she was a lost girl gave Emma newfound empathy for Neal. That realization preceded her tearful confession to he parents that she’d never stopped loving Neal. It made me hopeful that the way they said these simple little words were really little hints that Emma and Neal are meant to be together in the end.
Yes! They examine all types of relationships. But we haven’t seen a SwanFire type one yet: pain and loss driven apart by fate but also reunited because of fate. Fate, destiny… This isn’t over.
Not only are Emma and Neal the most like us viewers having grown up in this world, but their relationship is the most “normal” of any of the couples we’ve seen yet. So many real-life couples have made mistakes they regret, have struggles, misunderstanding, hurt feelings. Nevertheless, we continue to hold onto the belief that love is enough to overcome a multitude of sins, to find forgiveness, healing, and reconciliation.
