That’s because the characters don’t drive the plot. It’s the other way around, the characters are props of plots that don’t have any value or permanent print after they’re over.

And because the writers are too fucking lazy to come up with new a d interesting ways to create conflict. So time after time the characters go through the same shit over and again even if it makes no fucking sense.

And let’s face it, A&E seem to be if the mind that hero characters are only interesting when they’re suffering.

Yup, perfectly stated.

It stopped being compelling storytelling like two seasons ago lbr, but in the case of CS is even more ridiculous because after DYING AND GOING TO THE UNDERWORLD they had to lower themselves to the most tired trope for soap opera drama? “Temporary break up for Reasons” for real? (because lbr this is where they’re going with this, they’re going to separate CS because god forbid they find plot reasons to delay the engagement). Like I said, at least it’s not a love triangle, although I better shut up because watch them have Tiger Lily be like an ex-girlfriend or sth *rolls eyes*

It’s so frustrating though, like I thought we had earned our happy ending already after S5 but guess they just truly did forget they even wrote it -___-

I’m not watching that episode, I’m fuming right now

Seriously, like they can’t even say they don’t know how to write funny scenes without being hurtful and wful, the CS movie scene with past and present Hook is the best example of that. But hey it’s easier to make fun of him cause he was fat and old, right? So done tbh

Soulmatey preciosa, espero que este nuevo año te traiga muchas bendiciones y momentos felices! Te quiero muchísimo y a pesar de que no hablemos tan seguido como antes, sabés que te valoro un montón y agradezco a Dios tenerte en mi vida. Te deseo siempre todo lo mejor!

Mi soulmatey hermosa!!

Yo también te quiero mucho y agradezco tenerte en mi vida, espero que este año sea fabuloso para ti, con mucho éxito y salud y que todos tus deseos se hagan realidad 😘😘😘

not to defend the writers because they truly did a shit job in 610, but i truly believe that the answers to many of the questions and confusion we have are in 611; and splitting both episodes with a 3-month hiatus in the middle was a huge mistake. Still, the first half could have been executed much, MUCH better

yeah, I totally agree with you there, it’s clear there are still a lot of unanswered questions they will likely address in 6×11, and yes completely a mistake to separate both episodes with the hiatus, but the execution was still not good and that’s still on them.

como buenas soulmateys que somos, pensamos exactamente igual :/ :/ por lo menos por los spoilers el capitulo 6×12 va a tener buena pinta! (?)

Pues sí eso parece, con la Captain Charming “adventure”, pero en buen plan lo demás para nada me interesa y me chinga que estén dejando a CS en segundo plano, todo para exprimir hasta la última gota, y no es por nada pero claramente a la GA tampoco le gusta ni la R/EQ fest ni que CS no tenga nada que hacer, en fin…

i get you. it sucks when other fandoms try to guilt-trip us into apologizing for being fans of the ship that turns out to be canon! it’s completely idiotic! JFC.

Yes I mean, I fully acknowledge this is really inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, and I’m absolutely not trying to say we’re being abused or oppressed or anything, but honestly? On my lowest days it feels like if I truly want to not “offend” anyone in this fandom I should just pack my bags and leave my blog and do my fangirling in the privacy of my home, you know? That I really can’t ever be up t the 100 different standards apparently that you have to cover for being an “un-problematic” member of fandom it seems.

It’s just really exhausting and I already have to deal with rl issues on my self-worth and feeling like I’m a failure, it truly sucks to feel that way here too when I mainly remain an active memner of fandom to escape rl stress *sigh*

Anyway, as usual you’re the loveliest and I adore you a lot my soulmatey, sorry for ranting at you but thanks so much for listening, as always ❤

Throwback Thursday

swanjones:

This is for all the CSers who got into the fandom after the “Captain Swan” ship name caught on. You lucky people! You weren’t around to witness all the failed ship name attempts by fans and media:

  • Hooked Swan (a nice one, actually)
  • SwanHook (quite decent, too)
  • Knightly Hookers (too complicated) (the reason for this is that before Ugly Duckings -a name that JMo herself proposed-, the Emma fans called themselves White Knights)
  • Hemma (wtf!!)
  • Sook (what is this i can’t even)
  • Hookma (I don’t even have a comment ready for this one)
  • Killemma (seriously… how did people have the gut to actually suggest this?!)

We are seriously so lucky with Captain Swan, in every aspect!

Thanks to @allisonswan, @steff621 and @totheendoftheworldortime for reminding me of some of these treasures. 

Also, wasn’t Killemma a suggestion from Adam? I think I remember seeing something like that lol
