& just because who can ever get enough of this scene 😉
“My walls were up, but you brought them down. You brought me home.”
http://dashingrapskillian.tumblr.com/post/93451365092/ouat-meme-seven-kisses-1-7-emma-swan-and
So I did a little rewatch of some of the CS heavy eps of NL & I’ve been thinking about the whole “when I win your heart Emma, & I will win it” line again & the way I interpret it is this:
Killian knows Emma has walled her heart off to romantic love, she doesnt truly trust anyone at that point in time & at that stage Killian isnt even sure if she can fall in love again- so while she can kiss & flirt with him, hell even sleep with him- it doesnt mean she’s allowed love into her heart, so IMO, what Killian is trying to get across there is, he doesnt want to have meaningless sex, kisses & flirting with Emma, he’s realised he wants more & she deserves more, he wants her to want him, not just with her body or mind, but with her heart, in sort, he wants a meaningful relationship with her & they cant have that if he doesnt win her heart/trust/love 1st.
Just thought I’d put it out there- it’s 3am rambling time lol- the only perk of being sick, is sleeping all day 😉
Oh & on Snowflakes nickname … Nels, Nez …. Leo 😉 😛 Charmling, Ash (gotta alienate them all) … Oh, oh I have the perfect nickname – “daily reminder to our grandson that the father he only got to spend a short time with is dead & to our daughter about ex, who left her emotionally scared & caused her to give Henry up for adoption” lol …Why didnt they just call him Bae or what ever Nealfire’s middle name was, it would have been way less weird *sigh* ….. wonder if they spell Snowflake’s name differently than Neal’s? … I wonder if they will nickname him Bae- but that’d be too weird now- Snowflake having both his names.
Saw this, had to share-
“The most revealing part of the scene was Emma’s second “come back to me” which she whispered just after she gave him mouth to mouth resuscitation – there’s something remarkable about that phrase, especially when it’s used with two people who truly care for one another. […] It’s a phrase that tends to valorize the idea that the two hearts are so incredibly connected that the saying will be heard even in the deepest sleep. […] Morrison’s delivery of the particular line was impeccably telling – Emma would much rather lose her powers than lose her person. As she whispered those words, she ultimately substantiated the fact that he’s someone she needs in her life. Plainly simple, she wants him to come back to her – Morrison’s faintly expressive whisper was filled with an abundant amount of fear that was not only heard loudly, but crystallized through the distressed look in her eyes and the tight grip on his shirt.” – mgcircles [x]
This scene is more important than you think.

The full version of above:
we’re thoroughly pleased with Charming acknowledging that Killian’s act was something that needed to be done because of the situation he’s in. Because Charming too has been in the kind of situation where he felt lying to his loved one’s was the best option, he recognizes Killian’s decision as something that normally occurs when one doesn’t want to hurt anyone he adores.
While on their way to defeat the Wicked Witch once and for all, Emma again expresses her plans about leaving to New York because their life there was good. However, Killian knows her too well and he sees that she’s actually running from possibilities. We’ve always felt as though Emma embraced Killian’s love for her back in “Going Home” at the town line when she uttered the word “good”; moreover, no matter how frustrating her desire to leave is, it’s entirely understandable as she’s dealing with the ramifications of two sets of memories, two sets of happy moments and sad ones, thus trusting is inevitably something that’s difficult for her.
The thing we adore most about Killian’s love for Emma is the unwavering persistence to help her embrace the things he knows will make her happiest. “Why are you so scared of staying? I think it’s because you see a future here, a happy one.” O’Donoghue is truly something else when it comes to sincere line deliveries, especially when they’re expressing Killian’s feelings for Emma. He ultimately sees her inner most desires effortlessly because of how much he understands her. He feels the same amount of pain she does – the fear of losing love and being betrayed like she has been in the past. Thus, he feels her concerns and sees that the fear of a good life, forces her to back away because of what she’s experienced. Killian knows that Emma has an immense capacity to love and when she opens her heart to some, there’s nothing she wouldn’t do for them. He understands that because of the turmoils in her past, she’s eager to leave because the possibilities of opening her heart again are on the line. If she does chose to embrace love, she’s laying it all on the line, she’s giving her all, and in doing so she’s afraid of another terrifying heartache because she evidently does see the potential of something real.
Zelena then interrupts their conversation to set things straight on her own by forcing Emma to choose between saving Killian or keeping her powers. Emma chooses to save his life, and because this is something we’ve wanted for them for quite some time, we’re entirely pleased with the the scene. So much of their journey has been about Emma’s choices, and in this scene especially, it wasn’t just about saving his life, but it was the authentic concerns that were illuminated in the moment. The most revealing part of the scene was Emma’s second “come back to me” which she whispered just after she gave him mouth to mouth resuscitation – there’s something remarkable about that phrase, especially when it’s used with two people who truly care for one another. In season one, memory less Snow found herself whispering the same exact words to an unconscious David by the Troll Bridge. It’s a phrase that tends to valorize the idea that the two hearts are so incredibly connected that the saying will be heard even in the deepest sleep. It’s as though we needed more parallels between the two couples for further proof that they’re made for one another. Morrison’s delivery of the particular line was impeccably telling – Emma would much rather lose her powers than lose her person. As she whispered those words, she ultimately substantiated the fact that he’s someone she needs in her life. Plainly simple, she wants him to come back to her – Morrison’s faintly expressive whisper was filled with an abundant amount of fear that was not only heard loudly, but crystallized through the distressed look in her eyes and the tight grip on his shirt. Emma’s shown her concerns for Killian a few times before, but none of the scenes were as evocative as this one. After he was revived and speaking to her, because of Morrison’s commendable abilities to speak with her eyes, you could see the indisputable relief on Emma’s face that she didn’t lose him, that for the first time since she’s came to Storybrooke, a man didn’t die in her arms. This was the kind of moment that was meant to show viewers and Emma herself just how significant Killian is. He’s not just a pirate, he’s somebody she cannot lose because he’s become her partner, her equal — the person whose happiness and well being mean more to her than she can articulate. It’s a prodigious moment for the two of them because she chose his life over her magic, and knowing she’s done so is something that upsets Killian because it’s not something he wanted for her. O’Donoghue played that scene remarkably as he projected both gratitude and anger masterfully while he realized she saved his life, and he unwillingly took away something he wanted her to embrace.

We all know you weren’t talking about the midwife Killian and I agree 100%
Snow was very demanding in that episode. Charming was out trying to hunt down the WW and Snow expected him to drop everything just to meet the midwife then moaned at him because he was distracted. It wasn’t important that Charming had to meet Zelena then and there since there were plenty of other opportunities when he could’ve met her. But as usual, Snow likes to have things her own way.

Sadly I must admit Snow moved down my list of favorite characters, while Regina as moved up it- its a shame as Snow was so awesome in S1 & most of S2 :/
Morning Troops!
surayya, I hope you are healing fast and feeling better. Your posts have started my Monday off with a big smile 🙂 thank you many times over!
I’ve worked with some fun graphic programs over the years but the creative fans now really make some extraordinary gifs. That storybook set using the Coloring Book Style effect is wonderful!
Yeah, Snow has had some serious hormonal shift biaaaatchy moments this season. It’s appealing when she is in EF warrior mode, not so “charming” when she is so self absorbed. There is a fine line that has been crossed that makes her rather annoying.
Maybe they will come up with a totally non Neal/family related nickname for the little Prince that has to do with his distinct personality, like we all tend to do with our own kids/family. Like Stinky or Snotface (heh)
One woman’s opinion: About Henry… That move at the table was a directorial one to get him out of the way for Emma to head out to the patio. You couldn’t see his face at all and it is pure projection of the people who want there to always be heavy emotional angst over Neal being dead when really, there isn’t.
I don’t see Henry agonizing over the specific man who was his father, who he, by his own admission to Hook, didn’t know at all…or agonizing over the fact that his mother is feeling love for someone. He has always been very pro-love 🙂 and aside from the idiocy in the cave in Neverland with Pan, he’s been pretty smart.
Henry may very well yearn for the lost years where he didn’t have a father, and wish it had been different but it’s difficult to personalize it when the person involved was a stranger to him and, bottom line, the cause of serious pain to his mom.
It will be a good thing if they finally focus on Henry as a growing-into-teen years character with shifting needs of his own. His already positive, fun and trusting relationship with Hook could be reallllly interesting with his new bonding with (G)rumple-pa!
***Always in search of a good flock***
If they just needed Henry not to be in Emma’s way, I think they would have had Henry sat where he wasn’t in the way. It seems a little too coincidental that he leaves after Snowing reveal the baby’s name. Also why would Henry want his false memories back unless he doesn’t want to feel so upset over Neal. Memoryless Henry was okay with Emma being in a relationship and was quite happy for her yet when Neal “died” the first time Henry dealt with that and believed his dad dead for much of Neverland without wishing to forget his dad. I think Henry may be conflicted about everything. He wants Emma to be happy, but he thinks it’s too soon after his dad’s passing. Regina’s going off on one, Snowing are being insensitive, etc etc. Henry probably wants to go back to a time where everything was simple and normal.
What’s happened to cause Henry to want his fake memories back since he was looking for an apartment in Storybrooke after Neal’s death?
