ParticipantSo everyday when I have the chance, I’m going to post my favorite Captain Swan fan art. Seeing this thread dead and quiet during the winter hiatus is unacceptable to me.
Here are the first two:

ParticipantI love them!
I’ve started to write meta in my native language about CS. It’s basically about character psychology with bits of witch pionts in the storytelling sugest that Emma and Killian are meant and written for eachother from the start. The more I write about it, the better I fell. It’s helping me to deal with all that pointless hate all around the fandom. It’ good to have psychological background with such things, a the fact that I’m a massive reader and know things about literature and visiual arts ( lots of friends with MA in Cultural Studies will do that to you) helps a lot too.
To be honest I’m contemplating metas about other characters from Once. Just for fun.

ParticipantSounds really interesting @lady.
As far as hints go for CS, they were subtle in the beginning but now, nope, certainly not anymore. I wrote a meta about CS + Water, which is sort of similar but I think yours will be more broader.
I hope you post your meta here when it’s done, I’d love to read it.

ParticipantWritting it is a long process. Then I would have to transle it, so it will take time. I’ve read your water meta. It’s grate.
This forum is dead lately. Not that I’m suprised. CSers dont fell welcome here anymore, so they write elsewhere, like fanforum with strict bashing policy or tumblr, or even facebook groups. And we and OQ, are the once with the best material to discus about. Maybe some Rumbellers too, at leaast the one, who dont’ hat Belle at hate moment.
I’ve loved CS this season. there are things that I would have done differenty but I don’t know the bigger picture and it’s not my story to tell.

I understand. Take your time but don’t forget to post here when you’re done. If you need help with English grammar, I’d be happy to help.

I know what you mean and I think it’s very sad too. This is a website for everyone; it’s not ‘shipper centric. Everyone should feel welcome. This thread especially will always be a safe haven for us CS ‘shippers; it’s the general discussions outside of this thread that can be problematic.

Yup, exactly. No season is perfect. There’s always going to be some kind of issue that’s going to rub someone the wrong way. Could the winter finale have focused more on Captain Swan? Yes. But there were also other things that needed to be wrapped up as well. I think cluing Emma on into Operation Mongoose could have been saved for 4B since we already know that is going to be a season long arc.
But, at the same time, I’m also grateful that CS did not have tacos or say ‘I love you’ to each other in the winter finale.
When you look back on Emma’s history, everytime she’s gotten close to someone romantically, they die on her. She said ‘I love you’ to Neal in a life and death situation in season 2. I think when an ‘I love you’ is exchanged between CS, it needs to not be in a life and death situation. It should be on their terms, when they both feel safe in their relationship. I don’t want Emma to be stressed. I want the first ‘I love you’ to really mean something and not to come about because they’re about to face a curse or something worse.
So, actually, I’m okay with it not being said in the winter finale. And we still have eleven episodes remaining in the season, anything can happen still.
Now, for the pretty fan art!

I would like that very much. I have zero problems when it comes to verbal comunication. But writting in english is something I have not done for a while. Gramar was always my weakness. Spelling too- my friend, who is a language teacher, claims that I’m slightly dislexic. Spend my whole life without that knowlege. I’ve manage to get trough Uni whitout a problem, it nevera wsa an issue with me, altough I do seem to miss letters or misplace them.

My thoughts exactly.

ParticipantWhat is everybody’s favorite CS scene/s from the first half?
I think my top favorite still has to be the last Captain Swan scene from Breaking Glass. I’m not a fan of the episode as a whole but I did love Captain Swan small scenes at the sheriff station at the end of the episode. I love how Killian knew that something was wrong with Emma and how he encouraged her to let him see into her past. Emma could have refused and say, this stuff is private or whatever but she made the choice to let him in.
I particularly loved Killian’s reaction when he came across Neal’s picture. Neal was someone they both cared about in different ways and as much as I didn’t like Neal, I appreciate how Killian didn’t make a scene about how Emma keeps a picture of her ex-boyfriend. He was very mature about it and I think it weighed on him, wondering if Emma still carries a torch for Neal and can she ever really be happy with him?
I also love how Emma initiated their closeness when she popped in the video. She took his hand, swung it over her head and around her shoulder.
And then a few episodes later, when Emma and Killian are searching for clues in the woods about the ice queen and they come across more of Emma’s stuff, Killian stops what he’s doing and is there there beside Emma to learn more about her.
