The Hookriel/FishHook Relationship Thread

[Phee]

Tinkriel! 😆 Tink does wear green, which is the same colour as Ariel’s tail. It’s all so obvious I can’t believe we’re only just now making the connections. 😛

PS. I’ve always hated those ridiculous jellyfish dresses and hope to God they don’t stick Tink in the same design.

Now I’m picturing those flying fish with fins that look like wings and fling themselves out of the water.

At the D23 Expo, Adam and Eddy let out some big spoilers for S3:

• Adam confirmed Ariel does live in Neverland. A good chance of seeing Ursula and a guy named Eric. You might see Ursula but you never know, in our story, people could be anybody 

So what does this mean for Hookriel……?

If “Eric” is a guy in NL, that may increase the odds of him being Hook, just because it doesn’t seem like there are a whole lot of eligible bachelors in NL for Ariel to be in love with. I’m pretty sure Ariel spent at least some time in FTL at some point though, and if she met her Eric there, he could either be his own person, or Killian. I think if they plan to reveal any of Ariel’s backstory in the first 11, it increases the chances of Hook being her Eric. If they intend to put it off until the back end of the season, there’s more chance of Eric being his own person. Could they introduce Ariel at all in the first 11 without alluding to her prince at all? Her love story informs her personality to a pretty significant degree.

I’m super curious to see what happens in 305, which it seems will be the Hook ep, where we flashback to how he became a pirate. There will probably be some hints dropped in that ep if there’s potential for him to be Eric. If that actress who we’re wildly guessing might be Ariel is actually gonna be Ariel, then the timing of her casting is interesting, because they’re shooting 303 now, and will be shooting Hook flashbacks for 305 in a few weeks.

I think kind of like the RH/RQ/tamara-daddy thing, that it’s not likely to be both, that Ursula is Regina and Eric is Hook.  Wouldn’t that be too messy for them, especially on top of teasing CS?

That makes me feel like it might go the other way, instead of Hookriel, they’re doing QueenEric or whatever nickname you have, as an actual triangle with Ariel.  I’m not as excited about this idea  for many reasons.

I think kind of like the RH/RQ/tamara-daddy thing, that it’s not likely to be both, that Ursula is Regina and Eric is Hook. Wouldn’t that be too messy for them, especially on top of teasing CS?

However they build up the relationship with CS, I think they’ll wanna make it real. There’s no point in doing a triangle at all unless each option is a genuine option with genuine potential. So they’ll have to make CS believable up until the point when Neal comes back, otherwise there’s no tension and no potential emo crap to hit the fan with the triangle.

So if Hook = Eric, and if they allude to it being the case in the first half of the season, I think they’d have to keep this part of the story a one sided, unrequited love thing, (which fits with both versions of Little Mermaid canon). That could actually build the drama quite nicely, because there is a version of the story where the mermaid doesn’t get her guy, so the audience will have to wonder if maybe that’s the direction they’re gonna go in. If they make Eric actually Eric, I think he’ll have to end up with Ariel (or dead) because they’re not gonna turn sweet Prince Eric into a douche who doesn’t choose Ariel. There’s not as much tension and angst for Ariel’s story if we can just assume from the getgo that she’s gonna get her guy. If they mash up Eric with Hook, they’re able to show Ariel’s love as being more distant and disinterested, without sullying the much loved character of Disney’s sweet Prince Eric. It’s more dramatic to show her pining for Hook, who only has eyes for Emma, so everyone is kept guessing about how it’s all gonna end up.

I’m just going to lay out my headcanon concerning Eric:

Hook is Eric.

Eric was born a Prince in a kingdom far away. As a young boy both his father and mother died and his vengeful uncle, who most likely killed his parents, was out to kill Eric so that he could not take the throne. Eric was stolen away in the night by his mothers most loyal servant and raised not knowing his true heritage. But then the loyal servant died and Eric was forced to make his way in the world. He took up with Davy Jones and came to see him as a father figure, even though Davy was a terrible man who did not love Eric. Eric changed his name in order to win his new fathers approval to Killian Jones. Then Davy abandoned Killian but Killian managed to be picked up by pirates, the Captain of the ship grew to care for Killian and made him his heir. When the Captain died, Killian took over as Captain of the Jolly Roger and decided he wanted to travel around FTL. And then one night, he walked into a bar….

Only problem with making Hook Eric.

They want to make CaptainSwan seem like a potential end game relationship so Neal throws a spanner in the work. CaptainSwanFire triangle.

Ariel wants Hook. Hook not interested, wants Emma. Ariel upset.

If Emma ends up with Neal, it leaves Hook a free agent.

Because Hook is Eric, he must end up with Ariel.

Hook would be settling for Ariel because he can’t have Emma. Isn’t that unfair on Ariel?

All magic comes with a price!

Well, I don’t know where you stand on the CaptainSwanFire triangle but in my opinion CaptainSwan are much better off as best friends and I think they will both come to see that.
