Can we like, not go through the same thing again this year where people who stan Emma more, or people who stan Killian more tell each other that if they don’t see a situation a particular way that they don’t love Killian/Emma as much as they do the other. Because I stan both equally, and this kind of shit hurts my heart.
Not agreeing with the way Emma is handling this secret business doesn’t mean I don’t get where she’s coming from.
Being worried about how her lying to Killian (and promising him that nothing is wrong) might negatively affect him doesn’t mean I love Killian more.
IDK why we have to have this same conversation every year when one of them does something like keep a secret and suddenly some people aren’t really Emma stans, or aren’t really Killian stans. It’s stupid and I want it to stop. I want to be a happy CS family where people can love both halves of CS equally without having to pick a side to be considered a true Emma/Killian stan.

Honestly this might be the most stressful aspect of being in this fandom for me, this battle between shipmates and misinterpreting people’s criticism on a character choices as hating on that character. Of course I understand why Emma is doing this, of course it is human, but that doesn’t mean it is correct or that Killian won’t have a right to be angry and hurt about it when he finds out, especially if as many are speculating, they parallel this completely to Charming in Neverland (right down to how he was backed into an echo cave to come clean to Snow).
Can we just be nicer to each other? Please? And understand that people have different reactions to things and different points of view, and that none of those makes them less of a stan of a character; I also love Killian and Emma equally, which is why I want them to keep growing and becoming their best selves. And that being critical of a character’s actions =/= hate
*For the record, I want to say that it is ALSO 100% OK to love one of them more than the other, what’s not OK is to look down one’s shoulder to anyone that doesn’t have your same exact opinions or interpretations on a character.*
Just be kind to each other, that’s all.
