How did we go from a brilliant theory about Neal being Dorothy to him dying in Emma’s arms?
*sigh* I don’t know what happened. I just wonder if I’ll ever stop being bitter over this.
I know. I shouldn’t be this heartbroken over the death of a fictional character, I know. But it’s not even that he’s dead–it’s how it was done and the message it sends.
I think watching this show from now on will be radically different for me.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I think I’m ok, and then I break down crying randomly. Coming here has been therapeutic though. We don’t all know each other in real life- but we’ve got a bond. We laugh together, we’re happy together- we suffer together, and we cry together. Thanks guys for being here.

So, it’s officially Once night at my house and the hubs is going on with watching in the next room even though he watched me cry last night on Twitter and heard me declare I was unable to watch it again. I’ll be interested to get his take but I am huddled up in my room with my headphones on. Even the description on Hulu made me mad, something about Neal trying to get back to Henry.
Meanwhile, I had a hostile reaction to my son’s Hook stuff today (from his Jake and the Neverland Pirates set.) Peter Pan has been ruined for me via OUAT. Boo!
I need to head to bed soon but I just wanted to express my thanks to you guys too for being here these last 26+ hours. It’s definitely been rough going for me too, more so today than last night, but knowing I have friends here who care about me and who feel the same helps a LOT. I adore all of you and I will continue to be here for support, love, and healing while we all keep trying to move past this crap. *HUGS*
I have been either in tears or near tears all day, I couldn’t tell you what I did at work today, I didn’t finish a single meal this entire day (my appetite was non existent all day), and I still feel like I just lost a friend in a totally unexpected and horrific way. I hate sad stories in general so this one is just tearing me up. I know what loss feels like but this one hits me on a lot of levels: My dad was around for a while when I was growing up but then he just disappeared from my life and I have no relationship with him now. I have lost three grandparents and an uncle since I’ve been an adult and all of them were hard for me. I also have several close friends who’ve lost parents (and who were like second parents to me including my best friend who lost her mom six months before my friend’s wedding). I hate funerals with a huge passion because I just cry over everything being the emotional basket case I tend to be. I know what pain feels like so when I get attached to characters on a TV show, it’s usually because I can relate to their pains and want badly for them to be happy. It gives me hope that I can be happy about a lot of things myself someday. You can imagine how rough it feels when one of those characters that you can identify with, who feels real and human to you, doesn’t get a happy ending or even an awesome STORY for his death. It’s just brutal and the fact that Adam was making light of it earlier just burned me up. The DAY AFTER THE TRAGEDY is not an appropriate time to make light of something sad happening on your show. I just don’t know what to think anymore. I know I plan to stay here and be with you guys but after Sunday’s episode, which I feel like I need to watch so I can get my full closure, I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’ll take it week by week at this point. 😥
RG-I hate that people were cruel to you today. You are a treasure and I count you as one of my dearest friends. If anyone else says something like that to you, please let me know so I can go kick some behind for you. That is NOT COOL. 🙁
I have a dentist appointment tomorrow afternoon. Somehow that seems appropriate that I’m going to get my teeth scraped and prodded after the last two days! I also shouldn’t have watched the HIMYM finale tonight because that did nothing to improve my emotional stress. 🙁
Love you all so much. I hope this post makes sense. I have no clue at this point! Let’s keep hanging together and maybe the pain will stop hurting quite so much after a little time to heal. I’m always going to miss Neal but I’m hoping I might be able to get through a day at work without crying sometime this week. I’m not counting on it but I am hoping for it. Good night friends. *HUGS*
#MoreBOOMLessGloomI’m so happy I finished showing a friend of mine season 1 on Saturday before all of this happened (we’ve been periodically marathoning it since November, but work kept us from finishing sooner). After this I don’t know if I can go through season 2 with him, and I feel guilty for talking a different friend into coming back to the show after her anger over season 2, when this is what’s in store for her. I think, at least for awhile, I’m going to appreciate the series like I have for most of this season of Glee. I’ll read the recaps of the episodes and avoid actually watching the episodes unless someone tells me there’s something I absolutely must see.
I feel kind of like a smoker trying to kick a terrible habit. I keep wanting to come back, but I know it will all end in tears. I hope this thread never dies. I need you all so much right now.

I think it will be too if I can even muster the energy to watch it. Right now it feels too hard. I can’t even care about what else is going to happen on the show but we’ll see how I feel Sunday.
"We were happy."
"Because... it was born out of true love."I think I’m ok, and then I break down crying randomly. Coming here has been therapeutic though. We don’t all know each other in real life- but we’ve got a bond. We laugh together, we’re happy together- we suffer together, and we cry together. Thanks guys for being here.

I lost a bit of respect for him

love you too
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love""He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"There is still Belle and there is still Rumple and I’m this deep in so I’m not out over this, but dang does it hurt. Neal really had come to represent hope for me in the show–and I just don’t understand their choice here narratively. But I needed Once to give me something good to look forward to right now, cuz I’m having to say so many goodbyes IRL…and it just crushed me with another instead.
There’s nothing wrong with being broken up about your favorite characters’ suffering. It just should come with some good payoff in the end…and I’m struggling to imagine how this could now.
