I agree with others that the shard creates a curse.
Maybe it’s the end result of whatever the Black Fairy was mining in her realm. Like, if diamonds mined by dwarfs turned into light dust then this is the stuff that is at the root of black magic.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"[mod]
I’ve asked many times in multiple threads that people knock off the vitriol and attacks on posters. Since this thread has gone so far afield of its original intent and has devolved into senseless fighting then I am shutting it down
[/mod]
ETA: I will reopen the thread if people promise to stop the heated combative and personal attacks on people.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I need a gif of a room on fire with someone trying to put out the flames with a napkin. This is how I feel today.
This is not the CaptainSwanFire thread. Know how I know? Cause I sent our one and only attempt at that to the Black Abyss of Nevermore 3 years ago because there will never be a time when this fandom is capable of talking about Emma Swan and her romantic relationships without devolving into madness and fighting. Not debating. Fighting. And we have a zero tolerance policy on out and out fighting and attacks.
This is a SwanFire thread. It’s a shipping thread. It has always been that. There are ” shipping thread” rules that can be summed up as “safe space.” Honest polite debate will not be discouraged if everyone feels that it is okay and “safe space” is not being violated.
However in the past 6 pages or so no progress has been made, no minds have been changed and we are, in essence, going in maddening circles over something we will never agree on. Moreover there have been posts that violate safe space. This happens almost like clockwork every two months or so and it’s no surprise it’s happening now as the season winds down and the events unfold for good or for ill.
I am not saying we can’t discuss matters about the show. I am saying that this is by and large pointless because no matter how many times we are called bitter, no matter how many times we explain feminist critique or no matter how many times we are told that we’re too harsh on Hook/Emma/the writers/the show we’re never going to get anywhere.
I guess what I’m trying to say is….What’s the bloody point?!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Or the Phantom of the Opera is one of the people who came from the Land of Untold Stories, and the Black Fairy has him cast a musical spell on everybody cause reasons. Kidding mostly, since I think we probably would have heard casting news of some sort. lol!
Surprise! William Shatner is the Phantom!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"To get back on track…
anyone think that maybe Henry’s wonky Author powers are what cause the singing? Maybe along with writing the final chapter, he’s “writes” an overly fairy tale wedding and it turns into a sing-a-long cause that’s how Disney fairy tales roll?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Reading Screwball and here are some things I like/agree with
If just saying the name “Emma” triggers Rumple’s full memory recall I guess he wasn’t a Jane Austen fan, huh? Oh wait– he has amnesia potion on tap. Maybe he has to dose himself on the regular. That would help when watching this show, to be honest.
If Hook was supposed to be on a redemption quest abroad, why did they skip the redemption part? Let’s recap: People Saved: Zero. Ships Lost: 2 (Nautilus, Jolly Roger). **** Given About Things Not Emma-related: Zero. Couldn’t he at least have offered to help Tiger Lily before he learned it was directly related to Emma?
“Where’s Hook?” Emma asks Hook’s Shadow. And then the Shadow face palms because Emma, who used to track people for a living, can’t deduce that shadows mean Neverland. “Where is he?” Emma yells. “We don’t even know where he is!” Meanwhile, Hook’s Shadow puts on a Neverland Prep School sweatshirt and holds up a whiteboard that reads: “IT’S NEVERLAND,” before floating off to have a drink because even Shadows are so done with this plot. Are we SURE Wish!Cora didn’t go through the wardrobe and is cosplaying as Emma? Because real Emma knows what the hell shadows look like after spending half a season in Neverland.
Of course Emma wants her boyfriend back– that’s perfectly reasonable. But he’s been gone for TWO DAYS and, as far as she knows, isn’t in mortal peril. The Shadow means he’s in potential danger but he’s a grown pirate on his home turf. Joining the Neverland Junior Varsity Track and Field team would be MY idea of a nightmare, but I’m sure Hook can cope with some light jogging on the beach. If Hook can get taken down by no-name teen extras in Burlington Coat Factory fur capes he deserves to die, honestly. Give him some credit for surviving for 300 years, yeah?
Hook’s re-engagement speech was lovely! The context, however, is horrifying. Emma chose her boyfriend, who was missing for 48 hours and was only in potential danger, over her parents being in imminent danger of an ETERNITY of physical torment while their infant son (and Henry!) grows up without them. And then she happily makes out with said boyfriend five feet away from the prone, cursed bodies of her parents. This is a totally bonkers choice for a woman whose major trauma was growing up alone and whose Happy Ending will always involve her parents in some fashion. Last week Emma didn’t give a flying **** about a realm full of abused kids and now she doesn’t care about her own baby brother growing up without his parents? WHO IS THIS WOMAN?
(especially that one. ESPECIALLY)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I always thought that the Blue Fairy gave Bae the bean because he was trying to get Bae to convince Rumpel to go to the Land Without Magic thereby getting rid of the Dark One.
With what we know now, maybe Blue was also trying to get rid of Black Fairy’s son.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Guys, come on.
The same warning I posted in another thread about not devolving into shipping wars and antagonizing each other applies to all threads, whether there’s a bolded mod-box or not.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Just wanted to point out that Screwball Ninja reviewed this episode and agreed with almost everything we are saying. Emma is not Emma anymore and Hook has not had a true redemption arc. It was a great review and very funny as always. I am just pointing this out, because she is known to be extremely fair to Hook and Emma and very analytical to her ship (Rumbelle) so it is not just “this website” that sees CS as a problem right now.
If you could, would you’d link it? I’d like to read it (not just for this debate)
I stopped reading Screwball awhile back because she had a bit of a pro-CS slant and largely disagreed with her. (
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"For once we got some pretty good stills. We get stills from both present day and the flashbacks, and it’s not just from one scene.
Of course! The one week when Hunter and I had to record early and with no stills
