So Adam said this and thank goodness 😀

“I agree with that [on Neal and Emma not having to be together because of Henry]. Who or what Emma winds up with has nothing to do with paternity.”

So, Emma could end up with Hook as her True Love, not Neal. That’s what I take away from it.

Yes, the possibility is what rings in my head when I read that. With the shipping goggles off, it may mean that she might be with Neal (not as a TL, but just in some type of romantic capacity) because she has residual feelings that have nothing to do with sharing a son.

Either way, it is pointing more toward CS.

No official pics of Colin at the Monte Carlo festival but I did notice a lot of fan pics on tumblr. Lucky girls who get to meet him. Seriously, this man could be in his pajamas and he’d still be so sexy. 😆

I totally agree. I am enjoying the fanpics as well!

Considering this is a thread for people who love him, you’re not likely to find too many posts about wanting him gone or him being sick or whatever. He’s fine. He’s been tweeting, he’s been working out, he’s been making promotional appearances, etc etc. We love Colin and many people are just naturally skinny.

I’m sure he’s alright and believe it or not, people in a “Hooked on Colin O’Donoghue” thread do in fact find him sexy (shocker, I know).

Can we please go back to enjoying Colin in a pro-Colin thread? Thanks.

Thanks for that, Kat. If people don’t like the swooning, they can just stop reading the thread. I mean, if the thread title does not say what the content will be, I don’t know what will.

I think it’s great that he is so appreciative of his fans and is willing to take pictures with them. All the pics seem very sweet! He did tweet to his fans beforehand saying he’d hope to see some of them in Monte Carlo 🙂

Bring on the pics!!!!! *swoons*

Kissing by moonlight. It’s sweet. 😀

Glad you like it, it was my first making one so I had to put in a lot of time to make it. I had to try though my concluding chapter demanded it 😉

Yes, it is amazing! Beautiful manip! Let’s hope for the real deal sometime soon!

I just wanna hug my shipmates for hanging in there. I know somewhere out there, we are not outnumbered, not at all. It just feels that way sometimes.

All of my safe havens seem to be closing in on me but my love of CaptainSwan will NOT be torn apart by hateful people who insist on ruining anything positive for them. It doesn’t matter how many times Tumblr people ask CSers to not post in the OUAT or Emma tag for fear of hatred. It doesn’t matter how many mean tweets I see or how often people start “puking at the thought” of CS. It doesn’t matter how many times people tweet in-character and say that SF has to happen because “Emma has to end up with Henry’s real dad” *sigh, Jared*. It doesn’t matter how many times people say we only ship CS because Colin is hot or that we don’t like MRJ’s looks *eye roll*. And it doesn’t matter how hateful people will be while we are celebrating getting some major CS interaction while they are once again on a mission TOGETHER to get Emma back to her son.

All that matters is that we exist. We are Oncers just as much as anyone else is. We have reasons, REAL reasons, to hold out HOPE for our pairing, which is what this show is about.

So to my fellow CaptainSwan shipmates, I salute you for hanging in there. Together we can weather any storm that comes our way.

*passes out cookies*

Preach, honey, preach!!!! 😀 *munches on cookie* It’s really good! *hugs*

I think we need a group hug. Who’s in?

Sounds good to me, obis. Thanks for letting us know!

As to the response I was happily typing and submitting before the forum went BOOM!

Maybe Henry will call Hook “Captain”. Kids don’t generally use adult’s first names as a sign of respect, though I think Henry isn’t all that formal. I just think if he says Mr. Jones it sounds funny as does Mr. Hook.

Yeah, Mr. Jones just sounds weird. Captain or even Killian from Henry’s mouth sounds cute. Of course, I would like Emma to call him Killian first before Henry.

He’s pretty good with sleight of hand–so he may not have magic, but he’s got skills like a show-magician. I agree, he always has a plan, even if he doesn’t think he’ll need it. He ‘s a survivor.

He really is a survivor. If he can survive NL, 300 years of vengeance boiling in him, get hit by a car, get his ass kicked several times, he’s a tough trooper. Gah, love this character so much!

@KFChimera wrote:

Some people fell in love with Hook at first sight, back in the Crocodile. Others already made up their mind to hate whoever Henry’s father turned out to be, because of the things Emma said in season 1. By the time we see this scene, there were probably plenty of people thinking “Emma, he’s no good, he’s going to break your heart!” then looking to confirm the idea that Emma couldn’t have really been in love with him, that he didn’t really “deserve her”, and so on. My initial reaction though, was it surprised her because it seemed impractical & out of the blue rather than something they had discussed before, but once she saw he was serious, she fell for the idea (and him) more than ever. That’s why she felt so betrayed and hurt in the end, because he (and the idea of a home) meant so much to her.

You are absolutely right. It’s much easier to see and criticize things in hindsight. We all see what we want to

I don’t know they’ll revisit Emma’s life in Tallahassee — in a way, it’s not relevant to what is happening in the story moving forward. We wonder, because we’re sort of stuck in summer hiatus, analyzing and looking for clues and crumbs. Once the new season starts though, I think it’ll be clear that what is more important than how she felt at one point, is how she feels in the current story.

I can see how this call-back would be a stick in the mud for the continuity of S3’s story arc, but I guess it’s something the writers are allowing us to fill in the blanks as needed. It is safe to assume she went back to find him or at the least, find closure of half-hatched plans of settling down there. She was there for two years, which is the longest she has been in any place, and Regina commented on that in S1.

I think that’s pretty likely, that Hook and Emma will be split off from the group. However they split it up though, short of putting Hook with JUST Rumpel, it would be some interesting development for CS. Obviously, if he bonds with Snow or Charming, that helps offset objections that he wouldn’t fit into her family. If he’s adventuring with Regina, it might bring out some jealousy from Emma, pushing her to realize she wants his attention.

Regardless of who he pairs up with in his ventures at different points of the journey, it will be a way to forward the CS ship, if that is what the writers are truly intending. We cannot know for sure how CS will pan out, but I would like to see some jealousy from Emma. Hook would hold that over her head like a carrot. 😆

This hiatus needs to speed up! I need my OUAT fix 😥

I know I try to follow a few CS fanfics that interest me and sometimes, it takes forever for the author to update I have to remind myself what was the last chapter I read.

I totally do that with a lot of fics that I follow. I end up having to read from the start. Sometimes I like to revisit completed fics that were just that good. Fanfics are my saving grace in this hiatus right now.

Hey guys,

I started posting a new Captain Swan AU fanfic.

I made the pretty cover art and even made a family tree art 😆 😆 And it has an accompanying fanmix too.

I have too much time on my hands. 🙄 It’s really sad. 😆 😆 😆

Gorgeous pics, obis! As always 😀 So many fics, so little time! I have a plot bunny in my head for a one-shot that I haven’t had a chance to write on paper (or on the screen) because of life. *le sigh*

@MysteryKat25 wrote:

* Right before Graham dies *sniff* he thanks Emma for helping him remember & “feel something”
* Hook’s first line to Emma was “Thank you” and at the end of 2×22, says “Maybe I just needed reminding that I could” [care about something other than myself – aka, feel something about someone else *cough*]

Yeah, I remember reading the “thank you” parallel on tumblr. Some critics of CS say that he came back because of Baelfire, but seriously? The way he looks at Emma when he gives her the bean says otherwise. It’s a mix of both and I think that is an interesting mix of people who motivate him. He is motivated by his “adopted son,” Emma’s ex, and also the father of the child he is searching for, and by his TL, Emma. Interesting indeed.

@MysteryKat25 wrote:

The answer she was looking for I believe is Eton if I am not mistaken. So Hook does have a good background (and also plays piano!) – it’ll definitely be interesting to see what they do with Hook’s background in general but this is what came to mind just now.

I remember that tweet! I thought it was cute that Colin actually responded and helped her out. He clearly has done his hw, but I wouldn’t have expected anything less from him.

Regardless of what background the writers carve out for him, it will be good.

As far as pushing people away, Emma has a black belt in it. I feel her pushing away will have different reasonings at different times depending on when Hook decides to ruffle up her feathers.

Kat, I love what you said:
@MysteryKat25 wrote:

but with Emma not being set in stone, we’re watching her story play out in a different way and in real time. She’s the one character we can do that with and literally see every step of the journey in order (another reason I feel strongly that she’ll end up with Hook and not Neal since their relationships were played out in highlight reels similar to Milah/Hook, Milah/Rumple etc).

If he pushes her too soon, he risks losing Emma’s chance of being open to him because the walls will be up, stronger than ever. If he does it later, after Emma has processed Neal’s “passing” then we might see some sparks, with Emma playfully nudging him away.

So many different possibilities because of the different colors Emma shows in different settings! I love how complex these OUAT characters are. Essentially, I am drawn to writing that focuses on the characters and their complexities and developments along the way. I think that is why this show has become my most favorite series so far.

You’re on a roll, dude! I need to pick up the slack in my reading! I will read again from the beginning to appreciate your writing. I like doing that fanfics to keep the continuity going!

* Emma was introduced to him as Killian Jones but then he said she might be more familiar with his other name and she’s called him Hook since – I think this is partially a way of her keeping him at arm’s lengths because Killian is the kinder side that she keeps wanting to believe in but is afraid to. It’s easier for her to call him Hook (as most people do) for now, but I think down the line it’ll be very significant if she ever calls him Killian (which I think she will)

I agree with you, Kat. It is a way to keep him at arm’s length, in addition to the other tactics she uses to keep him at bay (most of which fail 😆 ). It will be monumental for CSers to hear her say Killian and his reaction to it will be nothing short of priceless. No on has called him Killian and to hear it from Emma’s mouth first would be fantabulous.

@MysteryKat25 wrote:

* There’s been lots of speculation as to the name of Killian Jones and I am definitely looking forward to more backstory for him (*please be a farm boy – paralleling to Charming and giving us a bit more of that Westley side too. Pretty please??* – wouldn’t mind connections to William Turner either though 😉 )

I would love to see him have a modest background despite what the literature presents. However, it would also be great to see him have a more elite education than he lets on.

@MysteryKat25 wrote:

* As for the other names, I think in SB, SB names are mostly used – you’re seeing people you remember calling __ for “as long as you can remember” and especially the last year or so before the curse was broken and you’re walking around in Maine, wearing normal everyday clothes. I think also part of it is done for Henry’s sake – he knows MM & David, and while he calls Charming “Gramps” most of the time (too cute!), Charming tends to refer to Snow as MM, especially when talking to Henry. That’s who he knows them as and again, they’re in the SB environment. I’m hopeful that if they go back to FTL, or maybe potentially even in NL (probably depends on any history there could be with it, who may or may not know them etc), they will switch back to the names that they originally had (especially now that Emma has called them “Mom” & “Dad” – before she kept calling them, especially MM, by the name she knew her as as a friend, she didn’t *know* Snow). I’m trying to remember what Snow did in present-day FTL – Aurora & Mulan only have the one option for names, but what did they know Snow as? (I need to do my rewatch but I feel like in FTL, the name Snow holds a lot more weight so eventually if they go back, Snow will once again be Snow so people know who she is and not to mess with her)

The naming gets quite complicated and messy. As long as it is consistent, I’m down with anything lol.

* I think Hook kept the bean necklace a secret as anything other than a souvenier until he got to Lake Nostos and found out its powers. I know he waved it in front of Emma in the jail cell (*cough* fairy dust necklace *cough* oh hello Snowing!) but Cora was completely clueless about why he needed it so this was clearly a Hook thing. Had he not needed Cora, he may have been able to just jump in with the girls but Emma knocking him out nixed that plan. The fact that he knew instantly what the backup would be tells me this is a possibility (and one of the main reasons I strongly believe he wasn’t really trying all that hard and was a bit amused in the swordfight, because he had a backup all along but only if necessary).

It’s hard to tell what his original intent was, but I think it was a combo of keeping it as a souvenir and as a back-up plan. Pirates always have tricks up their sleeves, and Hook has demonstrated that he always keeps a back-up plan. He deliberately hid the bean in the other hand when Rumple chopped his hand off. He hid the bean somewhere else, not the pouch in present apocalyptic SB, etc.

* Something that was pointed out to me on tumblr last night and helps with the Charming / Hook parallels!: THE POUCHES. Charming’s pouch that contained Snowing’s symbol (Ruth’s ring) was shown in the carriage and is a very similar shape (though different color) to the one they focused on in the finale that Hook wears and contained the CaptainSwan symbol: the bean. These guys are more alike than they want to admit!

Nice. I like that. Bring on the pouches!!!!

I need to rewatch the scene again but in Tallahassee when Neal offers to settle down and hang up the thieving, I coulda sworn that Emma said “really?” in a weird way and *then* let herself get wrapped up in the idea of him not leaving her. Soon after we saw that dream of Tallahassee put into place, he was planning on sacrificing everything to go to Canada without her which made her panic and step in for him which resulted in everything else. I felt like she was more attached to the dream / idea of it, than the actual thing. Either that or she was just super surprised by him not wanting to steal stuff anymore but I felt like something was off in that moment with her initial reaction to it. Plus her flippantly saying “like where, Neverland?” – it sounded like she didn’t really believe they could do it – did anybody else feel this way about this scene when first watching (CS goggles off and try to remember cause this was before we fell head over heels for Hook).

I felt she wasn’t fully invested in the idea at first because of Neal’s thieving ways. She desperately wanted a home and a shadow of an idea would suffice because she wants to be part of something permanent. She has been a nomad and a loner (*coughcough Hook coughcough*) most of her life. She eventually believed that Neal meant it as the plan for escape progressed with the watches. There has to be a reason why Emma decided to go to Tallahassee after she was out of jail. I hope they address that later on, at least in a flashback or a conversation. She stayed there for two years. It’s a significant part of her life.

Yes, yes, yes! I want them to go on adventures. I feel like S3 will be a movie marathon for us with the adventures they will be going on and I can’t wait to see how the writers and all of the OUAT staff visualize NL. I bet it’s great!
