ParticipantInteresting points about Emma’s characterisation, KFC. It’d be really interesting if they flip that trope at the last moment and have Emma be the flirtatious heartbreaker instead.
I know that is the last thing CSers want to hear. I agree that, for “Killian” he’s from a different mindset, and he is not thinking of himself as being her “Mr. Right Now” instead of “Mr. Right.” The thought has struck me though, depending on the context of the scene and whether or not he’s told her certain things, and they know certain things about each other before it happens: They are both reverting to their pasts.
Context will be vital when it comes to this kiss. Who knows what about what and when it happens will be interesting to see, and will impact what the kiss means and if it’s only a one off.
It seems pretty evident from that 304 sneak peek that there are things Emma still doesn’t know, which are vital pieces of info that could well change how she sees Hook, which is probably why he hasn’t revealed them. She doesn’t appear to have put it together yet that Hook’s Milah = Nealfire’s mother. And she’s also unaware that Hook handed Bae over to the Lost Ones. She’s been learning what a demon, (Hook’s own description) Pan is, how dangerous he is, so how will she react when she learns that Hook handed young Bae over, right into Pan’s hands? It won’t just be the historical facts that she has to consider, but also the fact that Hook has had the opportunity to reveal these things, she’s straight up asked him about how he knew Bae, and he’s been evasive about it all, (which leads me to believe that she likely still won’t know these things when the kiss happens). She’s been starting to trust him, (trust and lack thereof is a big dynamic of their relationship), because he’s helping to find Henry, but she’s eventually gonna realise that he’s basically been lying to her by omission.
In Hook’s defence, I don’t think he’s just been evasive because he’s being a douche about it, I think the reason he’s been evasive is because he is starting to actually feel something for her, and knows that the truth could severely damage his chances, so he’s stuck in a bit of a crap situation. I’m actually gonna feel bad for him if/when Emma tells him where to go after Neal’s back and the whole truth finally comes out, because he’s been tentatively getting his hopes up, and then she’s gonna kiss him, and then he might end up getting the shaft very soon after.

ParticipantWas just reading a tumblr post that included this:
It is important to remember that Emma is STILL grieving Neal, and despite her trust issues, she truly needs someone to comfort her. She knows Hook cares for her and obviously she cares for him too, but I really believe she is in love with Neal, not Hook.
http://wailingenius.tumblr.com/post/64415148025/caring-vs-love
And if you switch it up a tiny bit it becomes, “He truly needs someone to comfort him. He knows Tamara cares for him and obviously he cares for her too, but I really believe he is in love with Emma, not Tamara.”And then I thought how perhaps in putting Emma into this situation with Hook, it could give her some understanding of why Neal was depending on Tamara in SB. Because back then, Emma wasn’t able to be there emotionally for Neal, and he needed someone to lean on. And now Neal hasn’t been able to be there for Emma, and she needs someone to lean on. And perhaps once Neal gets past what I assume will be initial anger over it, he’ll understand why she did it, because he’s been there too. This kiss might be a necessary move so SF will ultimately have a more even understanding of where each other has been emotionally in recent times.
And while on the topic of tumblr posts, here, have another…
I’m trying to be upset about the CS kiss, but I can’t because that’s just how much faith I have in Swanfire.

ParticipantThat looks photoshopped to me. A combination of all 3 individual shots.
So I had a thought after the sneak peek with Neal’s drawings in the cave, and the line of him having received his talent from his mother, what if Neal drew the pictures for the book? it doesn’t quite make sense so I put it here as its more of a shippy thought that Henry might have had a tie to Neal long before he knew. Also maybe Neal was a children’s book illustrator in New York, something you might get away with doing with no formal education, long as your art was inspired and good, and someone noticed you.

ParticipantNot sure if it could work that he illustrated the book because there were pics in there of people he never knew, but I LOVE the idea of him having been an illustrator in our world!

Illustrating books to make little kids happy, since he had such a horrible upbringing. *sobs*

It’s photoshopped. By the way, I love your banner!

I doubt Bae drew the pictures, because he left the EF long before the events of Snow White, Regina and everyone else unfolded. Also, Baelfire didn’t know about the dark curse or Emma being the savior until August told him.
