ParticipantHi, everybody. This really will be my last post. I saw all kinds of replies in my email, and wanted to be sure I told everybody thanks for the support. Again, God bless.

ParticipantHi, everybody. I already posted this in the “everything” topic, but since I have conversed with so many of you here, I wanted to also take a moment to post the same thing where I have so often frequented this forum.
I think it’s healthy to separate myself from Once Upon A Time, and yes, even from my admiration of Colin O’Donoghue. Sadly, much as it hurts me to say so, I don’t think he appreciates much as we do him. While other cast members have been warm and gracious in recent weeks, Colin didn’t even so much as say thanks to his fans last night, some of who until their fingers were numb to help nominate him to win something notable as a “People’s Choice” award. He didn’t win, but the nomination itself, was an honor. I was disappointed, deflated, disillusioned, and hurt to see this, and so many people taken for granted, and nobody out there wants to call a “duck” a “duck” to highlight something so hurtful.
While thinking about this, I realized that here I am, a happily married woman, who has prospects of becoming a mother to a wonderful daughter, and yet I’m here putting so much personal importance upon an ingratious Hollywood actor like a teenage schoolgirl. That opened my eyes, and brought me to do some thinking. God has really blessed us. I am grateful for what He has done. Here we are with a beautiful baby girl, and so much favor. Amid all that, I have allowed my appreciation for a fictional program to take up too much space in my heart. Once Upon A Time has become waaaaay too important to me. This isn’t fair to my husband, it’s not fair to my daughter, and it’s not fair to me. For the sake of my relationship with God, for the sake of my appreciation for what God has given me and for my family, I will be leaving this page. It is for these reasons, in addition to others which I have decided to do this. If true that Hook will be killed off in episode 15 as a twitter post suggested, then I would rather protect my feelings by getting out now, rather than later, anyway. I appreciate all of you, and want all of you to know God loves you. I want you all to be wonderfully blessed. This will probably be my last post here, folks. I hope the best for each and every one of you. God bless.

ParticipantI used to think that Hook was bringing children to NL for PP. But then I realized that if Hook had a way to leave the island, he’d just go back on his deal with PP and not return to NL. So that’s no longer my headcanon.
Given that at the end of the NL arc a lot of the Lost Boys were very willing to help Emma if it meant they could go home, I think Hook’s role may have been to ensure that none of the boys left NL. If one of them tried to leave PP’s group for example, PP sent Hook after them.
As for Hook’s father….*sigh* I used to be one of the people who would defend Hook when people would say that he was lying to Baelfire. Now..not so much. I think he lied. The Naval Officer we met in 305 was not a man haunted and traumatized by the abandonment of a parent. He was far too…emotionally well adjusted if that makes sense. I think the writers decided to change tactics in order to serve the dreamshade arc so they threw PapaJones out the window and hope no one would notice.
I’m a CS’er and a big fan of Hook, but have to admit he looked pretty happy with his brother, Liam. Something which occurred to me though, is how he looked up to Liam. I wonder if Liam ended up being more than a brother; if Liam became Killian’s father figure in the absence of his real father. I wonder if we’ll ever know.
As for them hoping nobody would notice the parallel of Papa Jones vs. Papa Stiltskin: It’s kind of hard to ignore a gap that big in a story plot. That gap is a hundred pound gorilla in the room, and will be until it’s filled with substance to explain why it is there.

ParticipantI don’t know we’ll ever know what he did for Pan, or why the backstory of Hook’s father follows such a close parallel to Gold’s. They both abandoned their sons for the cause of self-interest. Those are gaps I hope are not left open.

ParticipantJust logged in, and it looks like all *&%^@! has broken loose. What’s all the hubub about?
I’m sorry I was… distressed to hear about us now being ignored based on us being CS shippers kind of lost it there a little but that over I’m just gonna move past it
I don’t let it bother me. Captain Swan is a fictional relationship, but it strikes a tone within me, and so I ship what a ship. If somebody doesn’t like it, I just let it roll off my back. Life goes on. If a fictional relationship matters to someone so much that they have to abuse others who disagree with them, well then the way I see it, they bear the largest burden of insecurity, and have more to loose than I do. I may sound like a hypocrite because I’m the one who has said I’m a gonner if Hook goes, but the meat of the matter is that I am secure about myself to be comfortable with my opinions, and I know when to walk away, and if anybody doesn’t like it, well then phooey.

ParticipantDidn’t want to say anything but i’ve been actively ignored too *shrugs* Doesn’t bother me though.
Dude! What the **** is wrong with people! Have they really gone that bat-**** crazy that we’re gonna be actively ignored now based on our shipping preference?! That is jus a metric ****-ton of ri******diculousness! Such a load of ******* monkey **** I can’t even fathom how or why things have broken down into this horrid ****** up **** faced state of affairs! **** me sideways!

Participantonceuponamirror.tumblr. one of her followers posted a very interesting possibility… “hookless asked: In regards to your last anon, Hook might do something sacrificial too. I don’t know if this has been brought up yet but in 1×01, Henry showed up at Emma’s apartment and at the end of the season he sacrificed himself and Emma had to use TLK to save him and everyone else. In 3×11, Hook shows up at Emma’s apartment (paralleling 1×01) so maybe he’ll risk his life somehow which will incline Emma to kiss him. Or vice-versa since it might parallel Hook’s failed TLK. It could really go either way!” What do you guys think?
If Hook did something like that, if it were not an issue of “true love’s kiss”, it could be a defining moment when she gains courage enough to face the truth of her feelings for him. I’ve wondered if it would take something like that for her to let her guard down.

ParticipantFrom thepixiewoods:
Hook and “finding someone else.” I just chuckle when I see stuff like that…stuff about how people hope Hook can find someone else later on. The reasons they hope he does are honestly irrelevant, as is the person they hope he ends up with. Like, watch the show. It’s not happening. Do you really think A&E are going to change EVERYTHING they have established on this show about the nature of true love? When Killian appears at Emma’s door at the end of 3×11, he tries to kiss her – he says he thinks he can make her remember. True love’s kiss breaks any curse. Killian wouldn’t try it unless he actually thought she was his true love. True love magic isn’t something you can TRICK, and it’s not like Killian hasn’t had, I don’t know, basically an entire year to think about NOTHING BUT how he feels about Emma. He’s worked it out by now. He thinks she IS IT for him. Do you REALLY think it’s even possible for another woman to swoop in in the eleventh hour and somehow change the fact that Killian thinks Emma is his true love? For Killian, Emma is the only option. It’s either Emma or nothing. Regardless of your feelings about CS, Killian’s not moving on from Emma. True love doesn’t move on. See especially Snowing if you’re unsure about that. And no, it doesn’t matter if Killian thinks Emma doesn’t feel the same way. That’s not going to change how he feels about her, just like the appearance of any other woman in the universe isn’t going to change how he feels about her.
I’m catching up from the holiday… sorry for the back tracking. It is so irrelevant. Even if he was not on board with Emma being his true love… it took him centuries to get over Milah. It is all or nothing for Hook at this point. There will be NO other love interest for our pirate. If he has no revenge, and no burning love for Milah any longer and no Emma… Hook really has nothing. I would think that he would crawl into the bottom of that rum flask and never make it back out.
I want hope for Hook. His being left with no love, no hope, and no future would be just absolutely horrible. The thought of him being left that way; of Hook’s story being left that way just devestates me. I couldn’t bare to be a witness to it. The story provokes real emotion from within me. Captain Hook may not be real, but he is real to me. I grew up with one story about Captain Hook, and then I was introduced to another possibility which brought me to see him through different eyes, and it endeared me to him. That’s why I am so adamant that if he leaves the show, I’m gone. It’s not a matter of not wanting to watch. I just couldn’t bare to. Not after becoming so attached to him like that, even if he is fiction.
