    Oh, I didn’t mean Rumple, Rumbelle, Bae & SwanFire fans all do dislike him- just that from the very beginning, Hook was introduced as being on the 1 track- revenge on Rumple & that cant have helped to ingratiate him on many of those particular fans- if he had been out to get say Regina for instance, there may not have been quite so much ‘wide spread’ dislike

    I think you’re on the right track here with this statement– I think that is key. It is how the writers wanted it to be, and it worked. They made him go after Rumple and not Regina, therefore, they wanted that fan angst. Most people just watch the show and are fans of the show and don’t really have character preferences, so from that perspective, I can see the majority leaning toward rooting for Rumple rather than Hook because that is how it was written; his revenge driven life.
    Also, I do believe because even in the first season Rumple was written generally for empathy and relate-ability. I agree with the general inference you pose for sure, but in this case for Rumple. Generally people give characters more of a pass if they are easy to relate to. Early on in season 1 I could tell the series was about Rumple and his son. The first pre-Dark One ep, I realized that, and I think it changed the way I watched the show.

    Don’t get me wrong, I don’t give him a free pass for what he does and it hurts every time he’s bad lol. But I do have a whole lot of grace and sympathy for him because of everything.

    That being said, I don’t hate Hook. In fact I am very much a fan of him! Swanfire does not equal hating Hook or even holding him to higher standards for me. If I personally don’t see CaptainSwan at all in the mix of each ep I watch, that is what it is. I can separate SwanFire from CaptainSwan and what others ship don’t effect my enjoyment of Hook as a character at all. Most of the people I follow on twitter and tumblr who are SwanFires would say the same. If they are hook haters because of SwanFire, I’ll unfollow. But…that has yet to happen. Not saying it doesn’t, but I think the more mature fans avoid that kind of petty stuff. Nothing wrong with disliking Hook as a character, but there hasn’t been any Captain Swan on screen so I don’t even understand that being the reason if someone dislikes him just because they ship Swanfire.

    The way I view Hook is like a puppy dog/6 year old boy with guyliner. Seriously. He just seems so lost.After Milah was killed anyway, and Post- Milah Hook is pretty much all we have seen except 2 minutes of obnoxious prideful jerk Hook haha. 😉 and I am sure after we see his backstory he will definitely be as relateable as the other characters we’ve come to know.

    Anyway, that is where my headspace is! This is a cool subject and now I want to go read about psychology or something because this stuff intrigues me!

    Urg, Hook needs to give up.

    Here’s the irony: if he would have really killed Cora like Regina solicited, his stabbing would have worked on Rumple.
    Just had that thought when watching….hindsight… lol

    1. My exact words after watching: “She is soooo messed up. “

    2. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Gordon’s Fisherman has made his way to Storybrooke!

    That’s all I got til it soaks for a little bit. 🙂

    The exchange in the woods when he spared Robin Hoods life. Every moment of that scene.
    “You’re not the kind of man to leave a child fatherless.” *feeeeeels*

    And the looks exchanged.
    THESE LYRICS—>
    “She glanced this way, I thought I saw
    And when we touched she didn’t shudder at my paw
    No, it can’t be I’ll just ignore
    But then she’s never looked at me that way before…”

    Please someone make a gif set with these lyrics an that scene! Hug–>Rumples confused face–>her look, etc. –> his smile.

    I’m so excited! I haven’t been on here in the past few days because of everything going on in our country. Perhaps this is why some people haven’t been on either. I’m very active on twitter in the political /etc arena with blogging so I just have been preoccupied following the events.
    But I am so excited for Sunday! Woohoo

    Just throwing this out there before I doze off… has anyone ever thought that Rumple may have wrote the book? I don’t know if it has been discussed here and honestly don’t have the energy to rebut my own theory (which I normally do)…as I have already been asleep, 😆 but… curious.

    Considering Adam said it in March, it would be closer to The Queen Is Dead, not the curse breaking.
    Ihasn’t been that long In the show from then til Selfless Brave and True, so its still been “roughly a year”. If they’re going to show it or even mention I guess they still have time. But I don’t think it is necessary. Would be cool though 🙂
    I’d love to get a K&H approved timeline 😀
