Thanks PoM. đ Was a CaptainFire gifset on tumblr that had the, “I can change Bae. For you,” quote, and it kicked me right in the feels and got me thinking and then I just had to get it out of my system, and ended up rambling. đ
[adrotate group="5"]Having CaptainFire feels, which led to CSF thoughts.
Hook: I can change, Bae. For you.
Bae: You say that, but I know you’ll never change, because all you care about is yourself.
Bae walks away. Hook looks completely shattered. Then his face hardens.
Hook: Thank you, for reminding me what I’m all about. Killing your father.
Lost Ones board the ship.
Bae: You’re not letting me go.
Hook: How would that help me?
Bae: You hate my father so much, you don’t even realise you’re just like him.
Colin’s constantly changing facial expressions and tone of voice give away so much about what he’s thinking and feeling.
“I can change, Bae. For you.” Honesty and fragile hope. Even if Colin hadn’t confirmed that Hook’s offer was genuine, there’s no mistaking his intent due to the softness and quiet desperation in his voice when he says that line.
When Bae walks away from him, unwilling to give him a chance, his expression is utterly broken, no doubt thinking of Milah, and how he’s failing her son, wishing what Bae had said wasn’t true, but knowing it probably is…
So he gives in, throws his angry wall back up and it shows in both his expression and his voice…
“How would that help me?” In other words, “Well DUH, kid, didn’t you just tell me a moment ago what an irredeemable, selfish douchebag I am? Look at me, proving you right, congratulations!”
Then as soon as Bae is down in the Lost One’s boat, the sorrow and regret creeps back into Hook’s face, but what’s done is done and now he really can’t change anything.
So, how will that impact on the potential CSF triangle?
Hook is gonna get another chance to give Bae his family back. He’s gonna get another chance to show Bae, and himself, that yes, he can change, that he’s not just always out for himself. He screwed it up royally that night on the ship, but he’s gonna get a do over.
Neal won’t buy it at first, because he has no reason to automatically believe in Hook, actually quite the opposite. If Hook is anywhere near Emma in any capacity, romantically intended or not, Neal isn’t gonna like that. Hook will have to put in a concerted effort to change the kid’s mind this time. “A man unwilling to fight for what he wants, deserves what he gets.” Hook wants to make amends with Bae, and become a better, less selfish man. Him not interfering with SF sorting their stuff out and ultimately getting back together wouldn’t be a sign of weakness, it would be a sign of growth, a sign of love, and “love is strength”.
Eventually, Neal will see and accept Hook, when it’s evident that he truly doesn’t intend to try and come between him and Emma like Neal expects. Then I envision an exchange like this…
Neal: I didn’t think you’d ever be able to change.
Hook: Thank you, for reminding me what I should have been about all along.Writing an all out, emotionally overwrought, fully involved love triangle between these 3 would only serve to cause momentary drama that would result in people being hurt and would ensure that the CaptainFire relationship could never be healed. And this show is supposed to be about hope, and I believe that K&H care about their characters in a way that they wouldn’t want them to endure a juvenile love triangle. The backstory they’ve written where they showed Hook failing Bae, is the perfect setup for a redemption arc. If that’s not where they’re planning to go, then why show what they went through, the conflicting emotions that Hook went through within himself, in the past? Why go to the trouble of cramming 4 distinct emotional changes into one character in one scene that lasted just under 2 minutes, if that emotional struggle isn’t meant to be significant in the future?
Obviously, I can’t actually get inside K&H’s heads to know their thought process, all I can say is what makes sense in my own head. But I think that the natural progression of the story that they’ve already been telling, would be for Hook to become emotionally close with Emma, perhaps even become tempted in a romantic sense, but acknowledge that ultimately, he loves her as a friend, and wants to have a similar relationship with Neal. They can still write triangle-ish drama when Neal is justifiably paranoid, but that drama doesn’t have to be so over the top that it results in relationships being completely destroyed, it can actually result in them becoming stronger.
So whatever writers in the media suggest, whatever soundbites of K&H quotes get used in those speculative articles, I’m not gonna worry too much about it in relation to the future of SF, because I suspect that the story the media is hyping up isn’t actually exactly what K&H have planned in the long run.
Also, the person who did that cool edit of Regina surrounded by the dark tree branches, has done the same edit for the others as well, and they look awesome: http://scifitvaddict.tumblr.com/post/61257599540/season-3-redone-promo-photos
This is amazing, but also makes me even sadder about what we got instead.
Post by the person who made it…So I wanted to comment on ABCâs Promo photo of Emma Swan⌠Personally I wasnât a fan of the photos they showed. I think out of the whole group Belle was the only acceptable one mainly because of the editing.
I decided to create a quick manip of the difference of poses. People are discussing the purple dress on Emma. I truly do NOT think the dress was the problem. We have seen Emma in numerous dresses and didnât make a scene over it.
The main problem I am having and I know others are having is the fact that it looks like the dress is wearing Emma vs Emma is wearing the dress.
Jennifer Morrison commented and said that this promo pic was showing Emma wearing her mothers dress since she wore her fathers armor previously. I happen to be a HUGE fan of that. I love how they constantly connect everything together.
The concern is that they gave Emma a very very unflattering pose. Sheâs slightly hunched over and looking rather uncomfortable. She looks like the dress is a huge inconvenience and she just wants the photo to be over with.
I wanted to showcase her confidence. Emma can wear a dress and still be feminine and strong. I really wish ABC would have considered a more confident pose. The argument that Emma Swan shouldnât wear dresses because sheâs âtoo bad assâ is ridiculous. A woman can still be bad ass in a dress.
So for those of you who are freaking out mainly because she is in a dress should really re-analyse your mindset of Emma. She is fully capable of wearing a dress and holding her own.

Every single forum has an option to change your timezone so you can have an accurate perception of when new posts were, well, posted.
Yeah, the timezone thing is a bit annoying. Living on the other side of the world, I’m not even gonna attempt to convert post times in my head all the time. I had thought that perhaps there might be some individual WordPress account setting that each of us could change, if not something on the forum itself, but looked one time and found nothing.
So I like the Tamara is his daughter idea, but with a wrinkle that I think Marian started to age. So before the curse hit, RH sent Maraian away to keep her from dying. She is the grandmother we saw. Somehow Tamara ends up growing up in the land without magic. Her mother pretends to be her grandmother but is bitter about magic.
I am in love with this idea! The price for healing her so the baby would be born was that she’d age rapidly, and she had to pass herself off as Tamara’s Grandma as a result. Don’t even care that it would totally invalidate my own crack theory of Grandma being Dorothy, I just love your theory, KFC!
Didnât she say Regina twice? Once could be accidental meant Rumple but said Regina but twice?
Yes, she said it twice during a lengthy answer to a question. Once I’d be more likely to just write it off as a blooper, but twice, I’ve gotta wonder, especially now that we know she knew Tink.
Just saw this post on tumblr and it made me wanna weep, so I figured you all should suffer too…
What if Bae keeps his papaâs walking stick. When he finally gets back to everyone else and if Rum has his powers taken or whatever⌠His bad leg is back and he canât walk.. And he lost his cane.
There could be tear filled ( mostly Rumple) reunion and Bae gives his papa the staff⌠Ok, I canât. I have Rum/Bae feels. Someone write this fic ASAPHook and Emma have totally different ideas of a happily ever after IMO. Hook would never be happy living on dry land, stuck in one place. Emma’s been forced to move around her whole life and would crave a stable home, with her family close by, to catch up on all their lost time. Even if Emma did wanna go off sailing, there’s the practicality of Henry to consider. You reckon Regina’s gonna let them sail off with him to God knows where for God knows how long? Hell no. You reckon Emma’s gonna sail off to God knows where for God knows how long without Henry? Hell no. And as fun as playing pirate would be, Henry wouldn’t wanna be away from any of his family for God knows how long. And Hook’s already been involved with breaking up a family by sailing away with a kid’s mother, and to this day he regrets the hurt that caused Bae, so I can’t see him doing the same thing all over again. So, yeah, I just don’t see a CS endgame working, purely from a logistical standpoint. I think if it were to happen, it’d mean Hook having to give up the sea, and that’d make me sad for him, because the sea is in his blood.
But if he ends up with Ariel, he can live ON the sea, with a woman who was born OF the sea. That’s a double WIN, right there.
