Keeper of Captain Swan's first kiss
Bahahahahaha I laughed out loud at that gifset! I’m sure that Herbal Essences are delighted with their new unsolicited poster girl hahaha!.. Oh god. *wipes away tears of laughter*
The darkness in the pics is definitely an improvement, but agree with RG, there’s no creative direction in those photos, nowhere to go with them.
I don’t think i’d like the red and the pink together, they’d totally clash. But I get where you’re going. There absolutely NEEDS to be a splash of colour there somewhere.

I think that assessment is apologetic. If it were true the following characters should basically be blurry to the point of obscurity: Rumple, Regina, Emma, Hook. They are all struggling with “who am I?”
Yeah, I definitely wasn’t convinced haha.
Vancity also replied to another tweet that he’s surprised ABC didn’t give these photos to a focus group first.
How does he know they didn’t? Apart from the obvious answer that they’re terrible lol 🙂

I really hope they’re working on new photos! Even just jazzed up photos from upcoming episodes would be good. 🙂
Wow Phee, that is bad. After reading those comments i’m wondering how these photos were allowed into the public domain. Once they’re posted on the internet, they can never be retracted, everyone knows that!
I read somewhere, can’t remember where, that the blurriness could indicate the dimensions of the character. Belle’s pic is very clear, indicating that she knows who she is and doesn’t waver between the good and bad parts of herself. Hooks is VERY blurry because he’s still in two minds about what “side” he’s going to be on, etc. I’m not convinced though. Rumple should be even more blurry than Hook if that’s the case, and JMo should be more blurry than she is.

Imagine Emma, in the same pose, same fed up expression, but her hair’s a mess, maybe even a twig or two stuck in it, bottom of the dress dirtied up, sitting on the ground in the jungle, with a pair of princess heels with one of the heels broken. That would have been a fun mirror of last year’s Snow pics, and would have still incorporated Emma’s personality into it. There are just so many better ways they could have used Emma in that dress, which makes the pic we got even more disappointing. Another idea, which I suppose would have cost more, they could have redesigned the dress. Taken off the skirt and turned it into a pair of pants, kept the bodice as a separate corset top. Emma’s still effectively wearing her mother’s princess dress, she’s just turned it into her own style, to illustrate that even though she’s coming to terms with being a fairytale princess, that doesn’t mean it’s gonna change who she is.
YES! THIS! Ok, I am willing to concede that the dress isn’t so bad. But she has no attitude, no oomph, and that really lets the whole thing down. You really have a vision Phee. I would consider a change of careers if you’re not already in this one 😉
Last year they also used the set, the actual SB set. They have an NL set. Why aren’t they using it?
I’m guessing they don’t want to give anything away. There were a lot of accurate guesses last year. Maybe they don’t want to provide storyline clues?
On another note: for those of your on Tumblr or fans of photoshop, I’d love to see more of your own artwork for S3 promo photos. I’m convinced bored non-professionals could do a better job.
I second this!!!!! 🙂

Agreed RG. I showed them to my manager a while ago (who doesn’t watch Once) and she thought they were terribly photoshopped and that the background was awful, possibly even a replacement background! I then showed her Emma/Regina/Hook from last years photos and she said that:
1. Emma looks ridiculous compared to last years great pics
2. Regina looks like a drag queen
3. Hook looks like he’s about 50 years old (biologically)
Yeah, someone (I think Phee?) mentioned that if Emma was fighting against the dress in the NL jungle it would be much better. And I agree, the greenery would add something to the dress, make it less harsh on her.

Unfortunately, it seems there are some people out there who just hate the fact that she’s in the dress at all. They think it’s completely out of character”.
I’ll admit it, I hate the fact that she’s in THAT dress. Not that I would hate her in any dress. It indicates (for me) a pampered little Emma Charming and not the tough, independant woman we know who likes to dress for comfort and who has a penchant for leather. For me it’s just totally not in character. The colour is all wrong too IMO, in fact I think that it washes her out completely, ESPECIALLY with that awful background. She needs a strong colour, not pastels. It suited Snow White far better, especially with her dark hair.
And then there’s the expression on her face. For me she almost looks serene or something. Not that she’s going to kick butt in Neverland.
Also just to clarify, i don’t blame the cast at all for their icky pictures! It’s totally the ABC promo departments fault. I love how Colin was able to laugh at his photo by retweeting his rock star alter ego! 😀

Agreed obisgirl! I totally ruined Broken for myself last year. Maybe it would be the best thing all around not to get it….

And it’s so beautiful! Especially when you crop MJR out of the pic and JMo and Colin look totally CS! 😀
