MysteryKat25Participant
SO excited! Trying my best to stay in my little bubble cause I know that we’ll only be united in wanting new stuff and then things will explode again but I love this group and want to pop in when I can/when I feel it’s safe.
Obisgirl, looks like you found my secret hideout on tumblr (you linked to a post of mine in another thread earlier – so flattered!) I’ve been putting my magic mice to work over there during my rewatch. We definitely need new material to pour over and thankfully we are getting it soon!
Who else from here is on tumblr? I love this group/thread and we need to keep showing we exist, even in a mostly SF group of people, but I like the freedom to post over there as well where there are definitely more of us. Would love to connect with you guys in both places! I’ve been hesitant to connect myself publicly since I have history here and I’ve been enjoying the freedom to post whatever on tumblr but I love you guys. This is where I found I was not alone. We may be small (here anyway) but we are mighty and haven’t given up even when surrounded by those who don’t see the same things we do. 🙂
I like being able to debate things and hear other (respectful) opinions here but I also like the freedom it gives me to just fangirl and block out all the hate / avoid the things that will make me upset. Here I mostly stay within this thread now but am tempted to read things that I know will just make me mad (and I’m sure people on the other side feel the same!). Can’t wait for us to have new stuff to fangirl over. I just hope someday we can be a bit more united so that the hate stops!
Season 3 is almost here and we’ve (somehow) managed to survive. Hopefully the premiere doesn’t kill us all with feels but I have a feeling it’s going to be amazing! (AND we get 11 in a row, soooo happy!)
I’ve managed to convert a couple of people to CS this summer – namely my mom, friend, and little sister (she NEVER likes my ships – EVER). Hoping more come around once we see how things play out.
*passes out cookies and hopes we can all agree on a ship in OUATIW cause I don’t think I can handle this mess x 2*

MysteryKat25ParticipantWoke up to lots of wonderful goodness and hopefully staying in my happy bubble! Been spending a lot of time on tumblr so most of my rewatch metas have been over there (easier to avoid the hate and not tempted to click on anything that will upset me) but wanted to pop in and say how happy I am right now! Getting close to the new season and it sounds like there’s going to be lots for us to look forward to as shippers AND Oncers alike! So excited!

MysteryKat25ParticipantWith all the Sleepy Hollow fandom taking off (of which I am a part) I dug this post out to share as there are a lot of Oncers that are now SleepyHeads as well and I found another connection (it was bugging me, I had everything on the tombstone figured out except for the 1937 part). It turns out, 1937 was the year that Norman Rockwell painted Ichabod Crane.
Thought I’d add & bump it in case there are any other SleepyHeads around here besides me. 🙂

MysteryKat25ParticipantIt’ll skyrocket once he’s actually seen. His twitter account is both hilarious and sweet. Think I’m gonna enjoy him. Hopefully we get the #AskGil sooner than later but have a feeling it will be after we finally see a promo or something. Will be sad to end up lost in the thousands but happy that more will have found him. Looking forward to the #AskGil. 🙂

September 26, 2013 at 5:10 am in reply to: Do you think the Fairy Godmother's wand will come into play? #212136MysteryKat25ParticipantI think you definitely raise some interesting points I’ve never even given a second thought to. But I don’t know if the Fairy Godmother wanted Cinderella to go to another land…. She said that it would take her “to her prince” and her Prince was in the Enchanted Forest. That kind of raises another question though – do fairies have precognition abilities?
I’m not sure that Cinderella would have needed it for any reason, but it sounded rather odd to me, like it was just a bigger explanation of the powers of the wand maybe? Like the FG was basically saying “look how powerful thing is, it can do this, this and th-” The first two obviously did concern Cinderella (getting to the ball and the prince) and the third thing (being land or whatever it would have been) sound more like “and it can even do this really awesome thing that’s extreme and you won’t be needing but isn’t it cool that it’s so powerful?” kind of thing. That’s how I interpreted it anyway. Looking forward to what everyone else thinks though!

MysteryKat25ParticipantMissed you guys! Life’s been crazy busy and the forum doesn’t always want to cooperate with me but I’ve been trying to keep up on stuff even though I haven’t had tons of time to post (or figure out how to).
Loving lots of the stuff you guys are saying and so happy with the recent news, pics, etc etc so carry on!
I loveeee how much Colin has gotten into stuff and that pic of the heart with the hook was amazing! SO glad they’re starting to promo him in a more positive light. Hopefully more fans will come around to Hook this season!
Keeping my fingers crossed for this beautiful, epic love story to play out (and not in a highlight reel). I’ve been keeping myself mostly to tumblr lately to more of a safe zone but wanted to check in!
Love the feelings will be hard to deny bit! Most of the articles/hype lately have been pandering to both sides and I get it, I just hate false hope for the fans. Today’s stuff makes me think that Neal will try to fight for her now, since she said ILY he’ll have reason to hope, but it’s what EMMA wants that will be important, and by the time he’s shown her he’s fought for her, she may already be in way too deeply with Hook – the guy who came back when he had no reason to think he had any guarantees of anything, other than her offer to be a part of something. Basically – reading between the lines they gave everybody some hope, but worded it in a way that sounds like while Neal is realizing he needs to step it up and actually fight for her (about time), CaptainSwan will be happening elsewhere.
So excited and can’t wait for Season 3. It sounds like it’s going to be EPIC (and really, can we expect any less??)
Afraid to get too excited or believe too much cause I will be absolutely crushed if it falls apart but I really love and adore and appreciate BOTH characters and I just don’t see how it would make sense for Emma to choose otherwise after everything that’s happened. I think what Neal does this season might make me like him a bit more, but it also might help him become the person he needs to become in order to find HIS true love, whoever that may be. Currently I am holding out hope for EvilFlame and I have lots of reasons for this (not just shipping to get him out of the way like most of the Hook ships seem to be with no regard to the char *ahem* but yeah, lots of reasons). The thing that concerns me most however is that Neal might be resorting to the thing he hates most? You mean like…magic? That’s never good. Not for Rumple, not for Regina…not sure how it would be for Neal, Mr. Anti-magic
which is the very essence of Emma’s genetic makeup, so I feel like maybe it’ll be something that bonds him (eventually) more with Regina than it would with Emma because desperate use of magic (other than to protect which is what Emma has used it for so far) and TLK to break spells, magic typically comes with a massive price and gets addictive fast. Who knows what he’ll do with it in an effort to get back to hereven though his focus should be on Henry, Emma should come second in this scenario regardless.#HookTheHero all the way! (Love #WhatTheHook as well, but let’s keep promo’ing Hook as a hero and get people to come around to the idea shall we? EVERY character is shades of grey, wish people would stop acting like Hook just needs to disappear in Neverland. He’s here to stay!)
I mean really, he’s important, he was planned on from the beginning and was only sidelined to season 2 because of a rights issue (and then benched a few eps because of an injury to the actor…sigh). I’m even nice to MRJ and love young Bae to pieces. Neal grows on me from time to time and I certainly don’t wish him any harm. I just have a strong reaction to his relationship with Emma is all. That’s not trying to kill him off or ship him to timbuktoo! I’ll be glad when the hatred stops but we have a long way to shipmates. Let’s just try to enjoy the ride and not let them take any of us down with them! We may be a small community within this Oncer community, but we are mighty and steadfast – we can weather any storm (much like our fearless captain).
Not sure how often I’ll be able to pop in but I do miss my original CaptainSwan circle! Here’s to Season 3! We’ve almost made it through the hiatus and should have lots to celebrate soon*fingers crossed*
*Passes out cookies*
Looking forward to all the new stuff!

MysteryKat25ParticipantSounds awesome, can’t wait! (And ditto on the Grumpy cameo!)
I’m still not sure why people are confusing the QoH & the Red Queen…one’s a playing card and the other is a chess piece, as in every other version of the story ever. (I get that some only know the Alice in Wonderland part and not the Through the Looking Glass sequel but really, they’re different actresses for a reason and why would they have different characters names if it were the same one with a different actress anyway? Grr!) Hopefully people get this early on in the season since there still seems to be mass confusion but who knows. I may need to tweet about that, it’s bugging me that people still confuse them.

MysteryKat25ParticipantI like the idea of the colors representing different lands (very practical). Since this is for 3×04, we may or may not have all 3 lands, but likely 2 or flashbacks to one so it gets complicated but here are a couple scenarios that come to mind:
Green = FTL (perhaps “long to live” as in MAP are concerned about Neal and trying to figure out how to save him?)
Purple = NL (I agree it sounds like Pan is the one being chased)
As for Red I’m not really sure. So many possibilities. Flashback? SB? Is it something like “near” or is it talking to Neal in some way? If it’s a flashback he could remember a conversation with Emma that we haven’t actually seen take place from ages ago (maybe the very early stages of their joint thieving – aren’t we supposed to get Emma backstory this season? After the car scene we kinda jumped to them already being a team and young and in love but early on she was still trying to get away from him and saying she wouldn’t have a drink with him etc so it’s possible).
Green could be NL and have something to do with Charming.
Purple could be FTL and have someone chasing Mulan?
Red still ends up with SB or flashback in that scenario and I’m not sure who would be saying something like that there but “near me” seems to be a good start on that one if it’s not a ST flashback.
Just my 2 cents! Anything to get the ball rolling. Keep the ideas coming and maybe we’ll latch on to something that works!
Keeper of Hook's Trenchcoat.
MysteryKat25ParticipantIt was an interesting wording for sure. I think it somehow combined Hook coming back for her and his comment about “Actually, no” in response to how he would have done the same thing and left her when he wouldn’t have. So maybe the scene in Rumple’s cell? Or the fact that he actually came back? There’s TONS of stuff whether people want to admit that or not but it was clearly set up in that way.
They definitely had moments, I’m not sure that particular moment would have been what came to mind or worded it in that way, but I do like the phrase “CANON romantic momentS” so I’ll take what I can get.
Keeper of Hook's Trenchcoat.
MysteryKat25ParticipantUm, how are we not talking about this and why haven’t I seen it basically everywhere??
Confirmation from Adam that CaptainSwan have had “CANON ROMANTIC MOMENTS”. Rejoice guys, even if it just lives in the triangle, it officially lives and we aren’t delusional for having seen these moments and we don’t have to wait for S3 for people to get a clue that those moments have been there all along. (I”m convinced that many will say that if CS happens it’s “sudden” and “out of nowhere” and “messed up” but we have had faith all along that there are a TON of meaningful clues along the way and now we have confirmation so I wanted to share!)
