Here is an essay I read on Tumblr about Hook as he’s portrayed in literature compared to OUAT.
[adrotate group="5"]"That’s how you know you’ve really got a home. When you leave it, there’s this feeling that you can’t shake. You just miss it." Neal Cassidy
This is part of why I hate the triangle so much. Neal is a character who HAS a storyline–his father just died, he recently became a father and is losing his son just weeks after finding him. He isn’t given enough screentime, nor is Belle, and a large part of why (I think) is the time devoted to building up Hook for the obvious fan-girl contingent /eye-candy factor.
Yep. THIS!
From Tumblr:
"That’s how you know you’ve really got a home. When you leave it, there’s this feeling that you can’t shake. You just miss it." Neal Cassidy
Holy cow! Just saw this clip posted on Tumblr of MRJ on another show. Boy does he have real acting chops on par with Bobby Carlyle Now if only the writers would use that fact more frequently then this show would explode in a good way! Warning: clip contains profanity.

just a friendly reminder:
“She’s actually met a kindred spirit because he’s also stealing the car. What they knew at a young age, was the simple things were the important things. Being with each other, being in love, and finding a place to be together. They just wanted to love their lives and find a family, and wanted to be together.” – Adam (from The Price Of Magic special)
Carry on and ship SF!

I just want it to be March already. Just wanna know what happens now. :-/
You and everyone else in the Onciverse! On a positive note, we have Christmas just around the corner for those of you who celebrate and then the New Year!
My super shippy prediction: Hook’s magic potion fails. It’s seeing the dreamcatcher that does the trick. It’s a last resort by Hook to get Emma to remember. Neal told Hook to take her to his place.
Naturally, I’m in favor of this prediction, but aren’t both a talisman and the Blue Fairy’s blue elixir necessary to return a person’s true identity? It wasn’t enough for Belle just to hold her chipped cup; she also had to drink Blue’s potion from it for Lacey to vanish and Belle to emerge. So, I’m thinking Emma needs Blue’s potion AND the dreamcatcher/talisman to wake up, because frankly, Hook won’t be able to get her to fall in love with him in time for TLK to work like it did for Snow and Charming in 1×16. And frankly, I doubt all of the time in the world would be enough for Emma really to fall for Hook’s attentions. Hook said it himself. He’s Emma’s “good friend” who is her to help her remember. Yet, it “was a long shot” that TLK would work.

“He keeps me laughing all day, literally”
“He is just one of those people.. he has the particular hability to sort of disarm me and keeps me laughing and i think that brings a really good side of Emma aswell”
“so i definetly look forward to do scenes when i know we are going to be working together”

I adore this idea, too! I would love to see Snow and David reach out to Neal, their last true connection to Emma and Henry. I hope he becomes like the son they never had! They can find out more about the life Emma had growing up without them from him. I also hope that Belle and Neal form a tight familial bond and that she’ll also be like a mother/sister figure to him.

I know, sounds a bit bogus, but this color description of brown might as well be a description of the man Neal has become.
Brown suppresses the emotions, creating a safe haven from the stresses of the outside world within which problems can be contemplated and solved.
This is interesting, because Neal often gets faulted by critics for not showing enough emotion. Yet, according to this color psychology, brown is associated with contemplation and reassuring, which Neal is!
The color brown gives reassurance. It is quietly confident but never the life of the party! Brown does not seek attention – it prefers to stay in the background, allowing other colors around it to shine.
Also Neal is a nutshell. He has Emma’s back, even when he is not there, in the form of his cutlass. Unlike Hook, Neal does not seek to draw attention to himself. Instead, he quietly offers confidence and hope to Emma so she can focus on the mission of saving their son and shine as a leader. [/quote]
Brown is solid with strength and maturity. It prefers to function in its own safe little world – it is not carefree and spontaneous and doesn’t like surprises. It can be considered dull, boring and unexciting by many. In fact it is one of the least preferred colors in the western world, along with orange and yellow.
Again, the description matches Neal! Neal has developed into a mature, strong, capable man. Both Neal and Hook are centuries old, and yet Hook persists in acting immaturely. Many times, I’ve noted how selfishly Hook seeks attention and sulks when he doesn’t get it. By contrast, Neal is capable of buckling down and getting the job done. He may not be flashy, and some may consider him dull and boring, even unpopular, just like the color brown. Yet, he maintains he quiet confidence. He speaks words of hope to Emma that he will see her and Henry again and gives assurances that it’s not over between them.

I was thinking about a spoiler image from 3×12.
Knowing what we do now about the curse, Neal returned to the Enchanted Forest with the Charmings.
I was just thinking how distinguished Neal looks in this outfit, almost like a member of the gentry class. Do you think that Charming and Snow appoint him as nobleman? He probably inherited Rumple’s dark castle and fortune. His clothing appears expensive with the fine-woven cape and leather coat, gloves and suede pants. Also, Neal’s royal blue cape is almost suggests an elevation in his status from a peasant boy to a landed gentleman, perhaps even with a title! I was also thinking about the significance in coloration of Nealfire’s brown EF costume:
The color brown is a serious, down-to-earth color signifying stability, structure and support.
Relating to the protection and support of the family unit, with a keen sense of duty and responsibility, brown takes its obligations seriously. It encourages a strong need for security and a sense of belonging, with family and friends being of utmost importance.
In the meaning of colors, brown is the color of material security and the accumulation of material possessions.
The color brown relates to quality in everything – a comfortable home, the best food and drink and loyal companionship. It is a color of physical comfort, simplicity and quality. From a negative perspective it can also give the impression of cheapness and stinginess in certain circumstances.
Brown is friendly and approachable. It is loyal, trustworthy and dependable in a practical and realistic way.
In color psychology, brown is honest, genuine and sincere. It relates to the hardworking, the industrious and reliable, with both feet planted firmly on the ground.
It is sensual, sensitive and warm, engulfing one in a feeling of calmness and comfort.
It is a practical and sensible color which implies common sense. It hides the dirt!The color brown is associated with wholesome, natural and organic produce and anything related to the great outdoors, agriculture and farming.
Brown is a frugal color – it is not associated with frivolity, excess or waste in any form. While it is materialistic, it values quality above all else, and everything in moderation.
Some browns can show a degree of sophistication or elegance, depending on other colors associated with the brown. For example, brown with a soft white or ivory can appear stylish and classy, although more casual than black with soft white or ivory.
Brown suppresses the emotions, creating a safe haven from the stresses of the outside world within which problems can be contemplated and solved.
Brown is a color of structure, although by no means does it encourage perfectionism – rather it encourages orderliness and organization.
The color brown gives reassurance. It is quietly confident but never the life of the party! Brown does not seek attention – it prefers to stay in the background, allowing other colors around it to shine.

Doesn’t that description of brown line up exactly with Neal’s character? He’s loyal, sincere, warm, and practical. He doesn’t put on airs, but he looks to be a man of wealth now. He puts family first! I just wish Emma could take a gander at handsome Nealfire in his fairytale attire!

RumplesGirl Moderator I am going to expand on my crack theory. I think “Henry” is someone that only came into existence when Emma crossed the line and her and Henry’s memories were modified. Emma knows him as her “brother” in foster care and now her best friend. They are incredibly close but I think “Henry” also knows the real truth. He’s another AUGUST.
That is some serious crack! I’ve never heard of a person just popping out of thin air before! I’m not going to lie; I don’t like the sounds of that. But I do love the idea of Chris Gorham’s character actually being Emma Swan’s real foster brother and therefore like another version of August, only nobler.
