did anybody notice killian’s little smile when he said ‘when you love someone, you know.’ he’s so fucking proud to be in love with emma swan and i’m proud of their love in unity.

I like cancelled plans. And empty bookstores. I like rainy days and thunderstorms. And quiet coffee shops. I like messy beds and over-worn pajamas. Most of all, I like the small joys that a simple life brings.

@bashful-killian to the rescue!

I do just wanna mention that it looks like Killian is being lowered into the river of souls from the Disney version of the movie, NOT the Lethe River (which causes memory loss). So if they’re going to the Disney route, the river wouldn’t necessarily cause memory loss and I’m assuming it would just suck the soul out of his body, similarly to how it did that to Hercules when he jumped in to save Meg. 

Which isn’t a good alternative, but I wouldn’t be too worried about Killian losing his memories. 

However, I’d love them to parallel Hercules jumping in to save Meg & have Emma do the same to Killian. I’ve been wanting that on the show since I found out we were doing the Underworld arc!!

How do you know that’s not one of Hades’s tricks? Because I know. When you love someone, you know.

Killian vs Hades

Killian: LBR, you know the only name I'm carving is Rumple's, right?

Hades: listen here, you little shit-

Killian: no, you listen here! IDGAF! What are you gonna do about it? Kill me? Lol

Hades: GDI, why can't I ever get a compliant prisoner?

From the difference in my dash between last week and this week (ghost town vs. manic flailing), I can tell how this episode was much better received by this corner of the fandom, even though that was ep 100 coming back from hiatus.

And I gotta say, I found tonight’s much more enjoyable as well.

hilary’s smartass guide to the episode: 5x12

WOOHOO OUAT IS BACK. AND IT’S BEEN 84 YEARS.

This wasn’t one of my all-time favorite episodes, mainly because of the formulaic flashbacks (but as I’ve said, I understand why they were there – Snowing vs. Regina was the base the show was originally built on, and Regina’s Evil Queen outfits were, as usual, ON POINT) but I still liked plenty of things about it, and for me, it pretty much hit the emotional notes it needed to, while setting up the promise of a really interesting storyline to come. What I liked most about it was how deeply it felt like an OUAT episode, and in the best way: fairytale land flashbacks, a lot of emphasis on hope, heroism, family, and love, and a sense that despite the dark and dangerous world they have arrived in (ruled over by its fabulously give-no-fucks evil overlord, aka Mr. QQueenofHades) you can still tell it’s going to be all right in the end. It was much slower and lower-key than the frenetic action of 5x11, and felt at times a bit TOO sleepy for a midseason premiere and landmark episode, but I don’t think a big celebration or light-hearted slapstick or anything of the sort would have properly addressed the gravity of the situation and the depths of the emotion that our heroes are confronting in the UW, from threats both external and internal.

Because I have a lot to say, I’ve put it behind a cut so it doesn’t massively clog your dash. Let us hail the return of the show and the Smartass Guides by taking the ferry to said underworld.
