    Ok there is a girl Kiki, she has a tumblr now just to talk about ouat, so keeping with the oua fandom, some anon, send her hate, bc she is a Sf fan. In her post she also mentions RB, but i will post only the Sf part:

    As a fan of good storytelling (that doesn’t sell damaging and dangerous messages to its audience), I’m incredibly happy that:

    Neal dying in season three and remaining dead meas that he remains one of the very few characters whose writing throughout his time on the show remained consistently i character. Killing Neal was probably the worst writing choice they ever made, but I consider myself, and other Neal and SF fans, lucky, because it meant he was safe from the complete destruction of this show that has touched every story and every character. It also means that the beautiful, tragic, bittersweet story of Swanfire couldn’t be ruined by their progressively more and more damaging, unhealthy, and disgusting ideas of what :healthy love” is. As it stands now, in canon, when Neal died we knew for a fact that Emma loved him, and that she had always loved him, and we knew for a fact that he would do anything for her and for Henry. ‘Looking at what this show is now, I’m exceptionally pleased that my ship remains a beautiful love story about finding someone who understand you, even down into your deepest parts and who will always be home, no matter where you are, of a love so special it created its own, unplanned destiny, and a bittersweet story of love that, even though it had to end, will always live on in what they made together.

    What we have canonically of Swanfire is a relationship between two lost kids finding each other, with no evidence of a significant age difference and absolutely no evidence of a significant imbalance of power, and that it remained a complex, but well written relationship between equals who respected each other and their intelligence and abilities, no matter where their relationship was at.

    SF remains a beautifully written, tragic love story between equals who understood each other like nobody else could. Emma’s love for him while they were together, while they were apart, after they were reunited, and even after his death is established canon fact.

    This particular bent on Dorothy, though feels too Emerald City to be coincidental. Especially since EC is coming out fairly soon (actually….April 15, 2016…so right around episode 515/516, probably when Dorothy is coming back)

    Not just that, if they air EC in Spring( they started filming EC in november, have 5 months of filming, so by march they must end filming), and if NBC doesnt send Game of Silence to sundays at 10pm, i see, EC being a sunday 10pm show,bc they said they want to do a twist on OZ story with a Game of Thrones vibe, so that would mean they would even air on same day, one hour apart, this again, if they air during the time ouat is still on.

    Also, lets not forget that EC was supposed to air around the time OUAT was on S3B, but NBC cancelled and brought it back again for this season, here is a part of the storyline:

    Swept up into the eye of a tornado, 20-year-old Dorothy Gale (Adria Arjona) is transported to another world — a mystical land in great peril, where an all-powerful Wizard has forbidden magic and rules over the many kingdoms. This is the fabled Land of Oz in a way you’ve never seen before – where lethal warriors roam, wicked witches plot in the shadows, and a young girl from Kansas becomes the headstrong hero who holds the fate of their world in her hands.

    *sigh* *rubs head* What….mythology book are they reading? That sounds like Purgatory which is pretty specific to one tradition. They are calling it the Underworld, complete with Greek heroes, and (probably) Hades. So…all the pieces for a Greek Underworld is there but this isn’t really the Greek Underworld.

    Yeah, im sort of confuse with this. They mix other religions with greek mythology, not unexpected, already destroying the myth before the show starts, oh joy. Why cant they just stick to one thing, i mean this “no underworld” raises more questions that answers, if they say yeah is the underworld, the good ones  are in elysium, there would explain why some characters are not there, but with is in bwt, brings lots of questions that they wont answer at all.

    So what happens to heroes and villains that have no unfinish things?

    What happens to those who end not having closure, they stay in this place forever? Like Cruella( who would she have issues with, she wanted to kill people), and i would say Milah, bc even tho she has unfinish things with Rumple and Hook, she has the most unfinish business with Neal, that wont be there, unless they will retcon 221 by saying that Milah meet Bae after leaving him and made amends with him and he forgave her in the past.

     

    About TLK like i said in another thread is RB.

    PriceofMagic Participant Perhaps Dorothy will be part of the LGBT storyline with Mulan? Although that could be somewhat eyebrow raising for several reasons. 1. Dorothy is a derogatory nickname for a gay man. 2. Judy Garland who played Dorothy in the 1939 movie became a gay icon. 3. The gay pride logo is a rainbow and Dorothy is “over the rainbow”. It would seem a bit too on the nose but then again subtlety is not A&E’s strong point.

    Maybe the couple are Dorothy and Zelena, lol, bc if someone tries to kill u means TL, and stays somehow away from possible future disney movies in the future, like Mulan etc. The wicked witch and Dorothy are not associated to Disney, so they may have more freedom to play with the characters in terms of LGBT storyline.

    Now speaking in a more serious tone, maybe Dorothy kills Zelena and that sends her to underworld and there she meets the rest of the gang

    My sense is that they will say Neal died with no unfinished business so he’s in heaven (or whatever the show’s mythological “good” resting place is, and that’s why he cannot be brought back. But he died without getting to raise his son or even say goodbye to him, so that’s going to sound hollow to me.

    That will explain why Neal is not there, but what Adam said, was why Emma wants to Bring back Hook and not Bring back Neal, that will only get the fandom angry, Sf fans bullied  and bring the ship wars that will never end

    No, it is still not ok. I’m going to have to ask that any ship war stuff be kept out of this thread. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and SF vs CS never goes anywhere.

    Ok thanks,  i thought the rules still aply but was confused with some things said here, especially  bc this  thread is not even a thread to talk about those themes, is to talk about show in general.Once again Thanks.

    Sorry for my stupid question, i been away from most public threads, but  i thought that the whole SF vs CS or other ships, was not allowed on public threads to avoid ship wars, is this still on, or we can just all start trashing other ships. Again sorry for my question, but needed to know if the rules changed.
