Random OUAT Chat: One of My Hopes for Season 3 Pt. 2

posted by thisisme365

So I just wanted to chat to the internet, once again. What I'm going to talk about is related to Swanfire and Captain zwaan-, zwaan BUT WAIT, it has very little to do with my opinions about the ships. I'm not going to say anything possibly offensive, I just want to put some of my hopes for this toon out there. So even though I ship Swanfire, I have to be honest with myself. Most likely Emma and Hook will be together, the writers have set it up to such an extent that I doubt they won't go with it. Plus a large amount of OUAT fans are CS shippers. They probably wouldn't want to risk losing such an amount of viewership. Even though we ALL know the writers and be unpredictable lol. If CS does happen I just hope that Neal can have his happy ending too. I'm going to quote EvilRegal14 with what she zei about Neal cause I thought it was brilliant. "No man will ever be as noble as my Neal. Well maybe Archie, but that’s his job. Neal has been through so much in his life, terrible mother, terrible father, terrible everything. He was alone for 6 months, until the Darlings took him in, then he was taken to Neverland. Alone again. Then the Shadow let him go. So he was alone again, and became a thief. Then he met Emma. He met Henry for the first time in 2x14 and immediately tried to be a good dad to him. He forgave Rumple (why I’ll never know) after he abandoned him and always tries to put his family first. goud ster Neal." This is so true, whether u ship Swanfire of Captain zwaan-, zwaan I think it should be known that Neal is one of the most noble characters on the show. His entire life he has sacrificed his own happiness for others. Just think about it, when Rumpel became the dark one and went all cray cray, Neal chose to sacrifice everything he's ever known so his father could be himself again. When that plan backfired, he met the Darlings when their family was in danger of being separated, he sacrificed his nice life with them so they could be together. When he found out that Emma was destined for greatness, he sacrificed his life with her so she could go after her destiny. I mean for Pete's sake he even forgave Rumpel! Isn't that enough for u to like this guy? Out of all the people in this toon he is one of the ones who is most deserving of a happy ending.

Evilregal14 Thanks for agreeing with me about Neal. Yeah, whether you ship SF or CS you can't deny it's true. Some CS fans hate Neal simply because he is a threat to their ship.

Diamond_Queen Neal certainly deserves to find his happy ending:) If not with Emma with someone else.

matchesrulezu Well, I might not think he's the most noble character on the show, but I don't dislike his character. I dislike many of his actions and some of his characteristics, but not because he's a threat to my ship. While I don't think he and Emma would be a good couple, I do want him to find a happy ending with someone and I want him to be able to find love again too. I think that is such a strong message to send. That anyone can find love again. That your first isn't your last and that if you lose your first, it's not the end. [i]Anyone[/i] can find love again (Ahem.. Rumple, Regina, Hook..). And I'd like to see that for Neal too.

thisisme365 Agreed, I know he hasn't always made the best decisions, but I think the intention of his decisions is more what I'm going for. I hope that makes sense (I feel like a lot of the time the way I phrase things can be easily misunderstood :P).

DR76 I really can't agree with the assessment that Neal is the most "noble" male character on the show. I don't hate him. But he's simply not a favorite of mine.
