Neal Cassidy

how I feel about this character

my son. sweet sweet baby boy. everything to me. one of my absolute favorite characters ever. miss him every day. i could go on.

all the people I ship romantically with this character

emma is the only one tbh i can’t really bring myself to see him w anyone else

my non-romantic otp for this character

henry!!!!!!!! i love the relationship they were able to develop n how neal just immediately loved him from the beginning n wanted to be a part of his life n i wish they had more time together than they got bc they deserved it :(

my unpopular opinion about this character

probably one would be that the mistakes that neal made do not make him a bad person or irredeemable, especially because he tries to right his wrongs and he acknowledges where he fucked up and he feels immeasurable guilt for what his actions caused

one thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon

well first off i wish he wouldn’t have been killed off (i still maintain to this day that his death was absolutely unnecessary n was done for stupid reasons *cough* a cheap way to end the love triangle *cough* an excuse to say they killed off a main character) but also i just wish he would have had more time to like spend with his family after reuniting/finding them again, esp with henry!!!! he got to spend such a short amount of time with his son, and henry didn’t even know neal was his father when he died!!!! maybe im still crying abt that. i also wish he would have had more time to like make amends w his father n build a relationship w him again, and i would have loved to see him spend more time w belle their friendship was so good. and obviously i would have loved to see his relationship w emma be able to develop again and watch them grow back together and work through the issues of their past
