    Funny story – both Killian and Emma are talking about the same thing here! 🙂

    Happy Once day! 🙂

    @MysteryKat – so agree with all the points you raised, especially the one about the bridge leading AWAY from Neal, which, now that I think about it, WAS pretty weird!

    And yes, the arguments that CS is fan service are all BS. IF you’re looking you can see everything is there from the start. WE have been the ones interpreting everything correctly.

    Friendly reminder that this happened in the not-too-distant past! 😉

    Guys, you need see this CS/Princes Bride picspam. I’m starting to work on the “Kindred Spirits” section of my True Love meta. Naturally, I’m starting with CS first and then have a long list of what to include and other couples as well. but I can tell right now, it is probably going to be the longest section.

    Can’t wait to read! 😉

    Some stuff to read!

    And especially this, but it’s veeeeeery long!!

    Like, if you come out of that and still don’t believe CS are endgame, there is no hope for you 🙂

    I cannot even HEAR the haters over the sound of how endgame CS are.

    I think I feel a bit differently than most people about the secret Emma revealed to Neal. While I understand what she was saying to him given what we know because we have seen her history with Hook, the kiss, heard Hook’s secret and seen her reaction to it – Neal did know ANY of that information.

    Ah, but you see, if he was listening, really listening to her, he would have known. Killian would have gotten it.

    I see SF shippers talking ALL the time about how Neal and Emma supposedly “understand” one another. But they don’t, and nothing illustrates that more than Neal’s response to Emma’s speech. Emma and Killian, on the other hand, do, which you pointed out, and it has also been stated about 50 times by the writers and the actors that Emma and Killian are kindred spirits and thus understand one another effortlessly.

    I don’t think Neal intends to maliciously ignore her feelings, but the fact that he doesn’t LISTEN to what she’s saying makes it… well… worse to me in a way. Again, showing that they are in no way an example of True Love.

    Speaking of Emma’s speech, here’s a meta breaking it down:

    http://emmaaswaan.tumblr.com/post/67166826730/hi-could-you-please-do-a-breakdown-of-emmas-speech-to

    So how would Hook break the news of Neal’s disappearance to Emma? How would he behave? What would he do?

    I would imagine that Killian would do his level best not to hurt her unnecessarily, as he stated in 3×06. Maybe he would go out and try to ascertain what happened to Neal before telling Emma? I haven’t the best imagination, sorry!

    Kinda like wondering if her tattoo happens to be of a buttercup and just also manages to match Charming’s shield – I need answers!

    Mwahahahaha:

     

    THE MEANING OF BUTTERCUP = “CHARM” OR “CHARMING”

    “Make of that what you will”.

    HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    /DEAD

    Also – the CS theme WAS in Tallahassee so it was there FROM THE BEGINNING as well, just like we’ve said. I’m so sick of people saying that fans forced their hands into doing us some really big fanservice and that it was never their intention to go this route when Adam has said over and over again that his vision for the Hook storyline (and for how Hook and Emma’s storylines would overlap) is still in tact so just keep believing!

    *rolls eyes at people saying CS is fanservice*

    Lets not also forget that sometime AT THE BEGINNING OF SEASON 2 JMo had an interview where she said that Emma could fall in love with a villain and “wouldn’t that be fun?”

    So yeah. Next silly argument please.

    So I’m not worried about any potential SF episodes, because so far they’ve been compared to CaptainSwan or Rumple/Milah and none of them have been really all that good for them. 3×12 is called New York City Serenade but Adam said it’s “#notwhatyouthink” so I’m waiting until we know more. Even if there IS a SF episode, I feel it way more likely that it’s about them getting CLOSURE and less about them reuniting.

    I’m pretty sure we NEVER got mention of Emma and Neal in NY. Only Portland. The only couple associated with NY is Neal and Tamara. There has been no mention of MRJ being on set, and even if he is, he’s not the one with Emma lol. I actually wouldn’t mind if it was a Neal-centric flashback, but either way the fact that Neal has not yet had a centric episode combined with the fact that the “triangle” has already started? Yeah, it just shows to me that Neal is not a contender tbh.

    Hook actually makes her smile, as she makes him smile too.

    THIS IS WHAT IS BOILS DOWN TO – who can make Emma happy. Like, ONLY ONE of these men is making her happy.

    OMG THAT INTERVIEW:

    Morrison: Hook’s really taken her by surprise in positive ways, over and over again. She’s so grateful he didn’t lie, and overwhelmed with gratitude that he helped save David’s life — and now trying to save Henry. Hook has stepped up and is present in selflessly offering his help. She’s not used to people showing up for her, Emma’s used to people letting her down, so she has an overwhelming response to someone who doesn’t let her down and is proving to be there for her. Hook is adding to her life and helpful to her life. It does have her attention and whether or not it turns into something more, it will always be meaningful to her that he’s participating in her life in such a significant way.

    Morrison: We’re getting close to the point where our heroes, as they call us in the stage directions, are seeing their plan come to fruition. It’s also really redeeming for Emma that saving Neal is helping the situation with Henry. I think there was some confusion with the fans about why Emma would go to save Neal as if it were a distraction from saving Henry. But Neal had lived in Neverland before and she needed to make the next strategic move that would help them get Henry back because they were missing so much information. She saw Neal as the missing puzzle piece that would help them save Henry and that was the truth; he knows how to get them off the island, so it’s been redeeming that Emma trusted her instincts in thinking they would need Neal to beat Pan because she was right.

    So lemme get this straight. JMo is raving about how:

    • Emma is very grateful to Hook
    • His actions are selfless
    • She’s “overwhelmed” that he didn’t lie and that he saved David’s life
    • He’s been there for her and hasn’t let her down
    • Hook is “adding” to her life
    • Hook is “helpful” in her life
    • What he’s doing will always be meaningful to her

    So basically Emma is overwhelmed with Hook’s actions and she is responding strongly to them.

    And Neal:

    • Is useful to the #SaveHenry strategy

    LIKE, TELL ME AGAIN HOW THIS IS A CLICHED “LOVE TRIANGLE” BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW WHAT SHOW YOU’RE WATCHING IF YOU THINK IT IS

    JMo is so incredibly biased and I love it, whether she was told to lean for Killian or not. I mean, she had a perfect opportunity there to bring up Neal with regards to the “love triangle” question. She had a perfect opportunity to bring up Emma’s old feelings for Neal. She had a perfect opportunity to say that Emma wants to have another go.

    I love that JMO states plainly that Hook being in Emma’s life is a GOOD THING and that he is being SELFLESS and HELPFUL and surprising her IN A GOOD WAY over and over again. Coming straight from the source so every argument against that is proven false. Love it!

    Lol – YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

    How are Emma and Hook NOT True Love again?

    really the the truth is 30 Captain Swan fans with an hour and an iPad can make up the difference on twitter

    And unfortunately 30 Delena and Klain fans can do the same…. still, not going to give up! 🙂

    works better for snuggling and hand holding

    Ha, yep!!!

    I just wanted to mention this in case there were any other CS shippers out there who love Bae dearly and wish they could love Neal as well in spite of the fact that they want Emma to end up with Hook.

    I’m so conflicted about Neal nearly every single week. Sometimes he impresses me and sometimes he… well… disgusts me. And everything with regards to the disgust involves Emma. So i feel like now I can’t separate Neal as a character from the association with Emma.

    I’d rather go along with what i’ve seen on the show and my own interpretation if you don’t mind! Because i feel like that’s the impression i’m SUPPOSED to get. I feel like there has been too many parallels with Rumple for them to be a coincidence. And some of his actions i’m going to find selfish/inconsiderate/cowardly no matter what way i look at them.

    I’m hoping for a back story episode at some stage soon to shed some light on him and to flesh out his adult self. But i’m not too optimistic that we’ll get one to be honest – i feel as though the writers have already taken us through most of his past where it’s relevant to Emma. Although hopefully we’ll be seeing how PP manipulated Emma and Neal into being together.

    We’re running away with the Hollywoodlife poll about whose gonna win the PCA I think we’re doing better with conventional votes.

    I hope you’re right! I hope CSers aren’t wasting their time voting on that thing when they could be voting for the PCA lol

    why is Killian still wearing his pirate clothes? Wouldn’t he be too conspicuous? Does he have his hook on, can anyone see that?

    Lol, i’ve never been to NY, but i would imagine that there are a lot of eccentric dressers there so Killian’s outfit would be looked over I’d imagine!

    And he’s wearing his fake hand, not his hook! 😉 Click on image below to see:
