#Bae & Emma

[swanfireprincessmydear]

I don’t know why I have never thought of this before. I don’t know HOW it never crossed my mind but another reason why Emma and Neal work so well together within the narrative of the show is because they’re both ORIGINAL characters to the show. They’re not retellings of characters we already know, they’re new, original characters that only exist within the show. They both fit in the same place.

No one else besides Henry (and a few minor characters) fit this category.

Day 3: Favorite Episode

2x21 "Second Star to the Right"

I love this episode for a multitude of reasons.

First, I loved all of the flashback scenes about Bae's backstory. Ever since season 1, I wondered what happened to Bae after he went through the portal. And after all of the foreshadowing about Neverland (from all the way back to "Tallahassee"), it was so satisfying to finally see the pay-off. Not to mention that the flashbacks also explain the beginning of Bae's life of crime- since in Victorian England, it was the norm for street children and the only option he had other than working in a factory conducive to minimal pay and child abuse. I also loved the portrayal of Wendy and the Darlings. I'll never forget Bae's expression when Wendy accepts him and the Darlings take him in as part of their family.

Second, even the present day scenes filled my Swanfire heart. Emma was still suspicious of Tamara, and while she might have claimed that it's only due to her superpower, it's obvious that she's so diligent due to her jealousy concerning Tamara's engagement to Neal (especially considering how she acts around Greg/Owen who also set off her lie detector). Then, the beach scene where Neal apologizes and explains how he never forgave himself was so heartwarming and raw. Especially when followed by Neal saying that he'll always have Emma's back, even if he still didn't believe her about Tamara.

The cincher of the episode was Bae sacrificing himself to the shadow for the Darlings paralleled by Neal sacrificing himself to the portal while shot for Emma and Henry. It not only harkened back to "The Return" but also showcased Neal's self-sacrificing nature which is prevalent throughout his presence on the show (even debatably in his decision to leave Emma in "Tallahassee"). It was heartbreaking to hear Emma and Neal say "I love you" to each other again only to lose each other again.

I still remember when this episode came out, and during the hiatus before season 3 was released, I rewatched it multiple times, just dreaming of possibilities of how Bae's story continued in Neverland as well as Neal reuniting and reconnecting with Emma in the place of his former trauma. While season 3 didn't fulfill all of my expectations, the last 2 episodes of season 2 will always be in my heart because of the hope and daydreams they incited.

How I feel about the characters this season

Love: Rumple

Like: Emma, Hook, Neal, Belle, the Darlings

Neutral: Regina, Snow, Charming, Henry, Ariel, Tinker bell, everyone else

Dislike: Pan, Felix, Blue

Hate: Greg, Tamara

Season rating: 7.5/10

Contrary to popular belief I actually like the Neverland arc. I think it makes a lot of sense for Peter Pan to be evil. And also it’s cool that he’s Rumple’s dad. That family has so much daddy issues. Rumple’s sacrifice was so sad. Good season.

[depressedstressedlemonzest]

David has a fair fucking point 😂😂😂😂

I love henry. I just love him so much. Everything is just so pure for him.

Emma swan I doubt your mother would approve of you being a LIAR!

Okay but hiding it in a book with the Dewey decimal code is a good idea.

Poor belle, "Were we friends?" No babe, she wants your lover dead.

But when are you going to start being careful about using magic?? Or at least closing the door?!

A dream catcher, again, another memory thing? Like with pongo?

You're in for it emma if rumplestiltskin can tell you're lying.

Well shit.

He went all misery on himself.

Not before he had another rage room moment. They NEED to invest those for Storybrooke.

Also forgot proper appreciation for his outfit. very nice.

Rumplestiltskin is going a little fucking feral here and NOT in a good way. On one hand, can't blame him. He's inches from finding bae. But on the other belle would NOT approve.

His fucking face when he sees bae is BREAKING ME.

He's so fuxking happy about his son.

But fuuuuuuck.

Here comes nasty milah.

It was for bae milah! Not because he was afraid of dying he was afraid to leave bae without a father.

Which he ended up doing anyway technically but potato tomato.
