    Okay I seriously need to get some thoughts out.

    On the hug and the NY thing, I definitely don’t think they’ll be a couple by then. I know the VCF guy said that they’re acting couple-y but to be honest THEY ALWAYS DO. Their body language always tells that story. I showed my mam some scenes from Dark Hollow and asked her what guy she thought Emma was with – surprise surprise, her answer was Killian. But in saying all that – I do think that the hug is VERY important. The fact that Emma hugs him back – it shows that she NEEDS that comfort. It shows that she’s letting down her walls with him for just a few seconds – because she trusts that he’ll help her to feel better. Emma Swan is not a huggy person – more often than not in hugs she is a grudging participant. So the fact that the VCF guy says it’s MUTUAL is important.

    Now, on to some things about her relationship with Neal that I’ve been thinking over for a few days. I don’t think ANY CSer has said that Emma doesn’t love Neal – heck it’s hard to ignore since she’s said it a few times. In 3×04 I even expressed how HAPPY I was that Emma finally got some of her grief about loving Neal out into the open.

    But i’m seeing a lot about how SFers think that Emma is running away from her feelings for Neal and taking the easy way out with Killian and i’m like….. say what? Emma is not in denial about her feelings for Neal in the slightest. She knows that she loves him, and she knows that she probably always will. She has said this, MULTIPLE TIMES. So I fail to see how Emma is in ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM, running away from those feelings. It’s the PAIN associated with those feelings that Emma has to overcome in order to move-on.

    And i’m also loving how, this time last year, it was “CS will never happen”, and now suddenly, it’s something that has to play out so Emma will stop “denying” her feelings for Neal, like Emma having a relationship with Killian will suddenly “open the way” for Swanfire again. And again, i’m like…. say what? How does that make ANY sense? How does that make any sense with the established rules for TL on this show??? First of all, it’s not TL if you fall in love with someone (which Emma is doing) while your current ~True Love~ is still alive. Could Snow ever have feelings for anyone other than Charming while Charming was around and by her side? No. Could Belle ever have feelings for anyone other than Rumple while Rumple is around? NO. So why would it be any different with Emma and Neal?? The incoherency of this argument literally baffles me. So Emma has to develop a romantic relationship with Killian in order to realise her feelings for Neal? WHAT?

    Emma will NEVER enter into a relationship again unless she’s sure of her feelings for someone, and, most importantly, that she can trust them with her heart, that she can trust them not to hurt her. So when Emma finally (and consciously) lets down her walls permenantly and lets Killian in, it will be because she trusts him to hold her heart in his hands and not crush it.

    I also find it highly suspect that some shippers are saying that Emma will have to stop denying her feelings for Neal and yet, DO NOT SEEM TO BELIEVE THAT AFTER HAVING A ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH KILLIAN HER FEELINGS FOR HIM WOULD ALSO NEED TO BE ADDRESSED? Again, completely illogical IMO.

    And to round off this post, I found this on tumblr and it IS PERFECT.

    When it comes to CS. It’s not a “will they, won’t they” deal we are watching unfold before us. It never was that sort of deal. It’s just not how this particular story works. You know who winds up together. It’s not about the end. It’s about the journey. The creators have repeatedly & specifically said that. It’s not the end, it’s the journey. They’ve made it clear each & every time who was going to be with & stretched & twisted out the how; the journey. That’s why this show is less plot driven & more character driven. They wanted to tell the stories of how the Evil Queen became the Evil Queen. How Grumpy became Grumpy. How Snow White & Prince Charming met. So, why does it surprise anyone that it’s not about who Emma’s true love is but how they get together & navigate their life together? Why does it surprise anyone that they aren’t making any mistakes & being subtle about his identity in Killian? It’s about the how.

    I guess people are so used to the “will they, won’t they” that they have no idea what to think or how to handle a story that says to heck with that.

    This coming hiatus is going to kill us all.

    Yep, especially with not knowing how the CS hug will come about!

    Captain Swan passed 100,000 twitter votes tonight I’m so proud of my shipmates I don’t even care if we lose

    WOOOOOOOO that’s awesome! 🙂 Look, we will probably lose, but at least we can say we put the effort in 🙂 Although with you putting in 1000 votes in how many minutes? we should win lolololol

    There is a voting party on at 8 pm GMT today right???

    New quote from Adam well new to me I found it on tumblr but I can’t find the original. “How has it been a triangle” i love this guy! how indeed!

    How indeed. 😉

    Ok, so I was excited about the Hook and Emma hug, but I just saw the tweet from Adam where he responded to someone saying that they can’t accept Hook and Emma as a couple and now they’re in NYC. He said that we have NO idea what they’re planning. It seemed ominous. Not gonna lie. This makes me a little nervous for CS.

    Nah, I’m not nervous in the slightest.

    Adam gives the same tone with ALL of his replies on twitter, he’s always neutral and it’s always something about how “YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING, WATCH FOR CONTEXT”. Adam said the EXACT same for the kiss and look at what came from that – Emma questioning her feelings for Killian and the kiss revealing to Killian that he loves her.

    Seriously, you shouldn’t worry, because one tweet cannot undo all of the AMAZING CS DEVELOPMENTS we have had this season. The truth is, especially with the last episode with all the action going on, they’re taking the time to give CS meaningful moments in EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. True, the moments between them in 3×08 were subtle apart from one scene. But they still had Emma asking Killian for help with regards to David – it makes NO SENSE that she would ask him how to save David when he couldn’t even prevent his own brother from dying. So they put that scene there to emphasise to us JUST how much Emma relies on Killian now, and how much she trusts him.

    They have had SEVERAL opportunities now to give us meaningful SF scenes where they are talking one-on-one. They manage to wrangle moments between other people alone, therefore there is no reason why they couldn’t, if that’s the relationship they intend as endgame and want to build on. SF have a heck of a lot of stuff to get past. BUT THEY AREN’T GIVING US SF SCENES.

    So yeah, in short, they’re giving us CS instead of SF. And if they’re going for a SF endgame (spoiler: they are most certainly not) they’re doing it wrong.

    Seriously i have never been more sure of anything in my life. I’m not even sure what i’m going to make for dinner later.

    yes we had one early before show time so we wouldn’t be in twitter jail when the cast started tweeting. We did 5,100 votes for the hour compare to like 600 once it was over

    That’s great! I really think we should focus a lot on the PCAs for the next two weeks since there is no Once until Dec 1st and voting closes on Dec 5th. Who do we get to spread the word??? We need lots of graphics etc.!!!


    @rumplegoldfan
    – love your thoughts on Captain Charming and Daddy!Charming, and it really only makes sense to develop that relationship between Killian and David, since you know, Killian is his future son-in-law lol!!!! 😉
