Trying to get caught up!!
My favorite CS moments-
3×1: During Emma’s big speech on the “beach” – the look on Hook’s face when Emma says it’s time for all of them to believe in each other. Didn’t notice it before but knowing what we know now he gets this hopeful look like she is going to have a chance to see him for more than just the pirate she thinks he is. And then how proud and impressed he is of Emma when Regina looks at Hook as they all walk into the “jungle” after Emma’s speech. It’s cute because he and Regina just had the conversation about how they are both villains but his facial expression says “Dang, we villains just got told by the cute blonde who kicks butt that I’m in love with.”3×2: “Perhaps I would” and Emma’s freaked out expression and quick get away after he says that. It’s the first time he really lets his walls down with Emma without any sarcasm and is just honest with her. And, although I think she had already realized she had feelings for Hook, I think it’s the moment she said “Uh, oh” because suddenly Hook got serious and she realized she had REALLY fallen for him and didn’t know how to handle that.
3×3: Before re-watching I was gonna say the coconut scene, especially since Tink is watching CS so intently and then goes to Regina to ask her if she ever went back to talk to Robin Hood. BUT, for some reason, after knowing how the first part of the season turns out, I have a new favorite part. There’s a scene where Hook is telling Charming he has to tell Snow about the DreamShade but Charming says he doesn’t because there might be another way. My favorite part now is when Charming asks Hook if he believes in Tinkerbelle’s power and in Pixie Dust and he says very emphatically that he does. Considering that Tinkerbelle had just told Regina in flashback that she can help people find what they need and that it is possible to find love again, the fact that Hook believes in Tinkerbelle so strongly is heartbreakingly sweet to me. And right before this scene is when Regina asks Emma if she thinks it’s the best plan because her boyfriend came up with it? And when Emma says “My boyfriend? Hook?” Snow immediately says “She just lost Neal.” Then Regina APOLOGIZES because she knows what it is like to lose someone you love too. So the fact that they make a big deal about Hook saying that he believes in Tinkerbelle and Pixie Dust was put in there to contrast Regina saying that she DIDN’T believe in any of it in flashback. And the rest if the Regina storyline is that she made the WRONG decision and ruined her life and someone else’s life by not following Tink’s advice and believe she could love again. So to follow the contrast between Hook/Regina here, this means that Hook is going to make the RIGHT choice and believe he can love again. We know how the midseason ends. Tink pretty much acknowledges that Emma is Hook’s TL. Which means that by making the right choice to follow his heart and go after Emma he isn’t going to ruin his life or Emma’s life. So to make a long story short – that’s why my favorite part is Hook saying he believes in Tink and PD. Plus it’s just really cute to visualize Captain Hook clapping his hands saying “I do believe. I do. I do.”
[adrotate group="5"]Sorry to butt in, I woke up this morning realizing the Emma Swan x Elizabeth Swann name parallel, then Liz falling in-love with a ” blacksmith” who became a pirate, Liz also kissed Capt. Sparrow whom she had this ” connection”. So I searched the internet ( forced myself to wake up) and I found this.
Now, I am saying sorry in advance if this has been brought up already. Anyway, here’s the link:

@rumplegoldfan – great moments!!! 🙂 loved what you wrote.

Ugh… I’ve managed to cause some drama in the fandom with this gifset and I feel the need to defend myself lol.

SFers are going mad because they thought it was a comparison of “hello Emma”s or something. In a way, it WAS, but I really just wanted the difference between the two highlighted.
This is how Neal reacts to Emma after not seeing her for eleven years, and is ANGRY AT HER – look at his face! – for doing what he KNEW would happen as soon as the curse broke, that his father would come looking for him. Neal DID NOT handle that situation well.
THIS is one of the reasons I cannot, WILL NOT EVER, ship SF. He brought her down, tried to make her feel low about herself for something SHE DIDN’T KNOW. She was VERY upset at that time, and he decided to yell at her. I mean, THIS IS NOT LOVE.
THIS IS NOT TRUE LOVE. END OF STORY.
I don’t hate Neal, but the Swanfire relationship, as I’ve said before, is all kinds of unhealthy IMO. And this gifset really shows that.
The difference between being separated from your love for 11 years versus 1 year.
Wow.

Omg, sincerelygsh says it far better than I did, and I requested this gifset!!! Lol
As someone who really adores Neal outside of his relationship with Emma this makes me angry for a few reasons. There’s something terrible about a man raising his voice at a woman whom he left for 10 years – a woman he knew was out there, felt betrayed by him, and who once loved him. I don’t care how upset he is, let’s talk facial expressions because MRJ is a fantastic actor and this is him angry. This is Neal being selfish. This is Neal being absolutely rude when he could’ve handled the situation more gracefully. Not to mention countless conversations after this one, he’s mocked her, he’s been rude to her. Dammit if Neal really loved her, he would’ve done his absolute hardest to handle all these moments with grace. The fact that he didn’t says so much about him.
Plainly, simply, it proves that he and Emma do more damage than good to one another. That’s not a healthy relationship. Fights happen. They’re natural, but they’re meant to bring out the best in a person. They’re meant to serve a person. What Neal’s done is mocked who Emma is. In this scene, Neal’s blaming Emma for something she didn’t even know. She never knew who his father was. If he loved her so much, why didn’t he tell her everything? As crazy as it was, why didn’t he open up? But he has the audacity to yell at her for what she doesn’t know and that’s what’s upsetting.
He left for 11 years, but he’s yelling at her for things she didn’t know. Ultimately, he has absolutely no right to be rude to Emma, no matter the situation. He needed to prove himself to be worthy, but from the moment they reunited, he’s brought her down until the moment he thought he lost her for good. I really don’t get his mind set. That’s not love.

Don’t care if he’s guilty, don’t care if he’s not
He’s good and he’s bad and he’s all that I’ve got
Oh Lord, oh Lord, I’m begging you please
Don’t take that sinner from me
Oh don’t take that sinner from me.[x]
