Right, so you mean to tell me that Emma, not even being fully the Dark One, loved the power more than she loved her own son, with whom she does share True Love, and she was choosing the power, to stay the Dark One and hurting him, abandoning him, because hey, she healed someone of no importance to her & she loved that! She tore a young girl’s heart out, broke her son’s heart, manipulated him, in order to free Merlin to free her from the Darkness, excusing all of her bad deeds as trying to stop the Darkness & “for her son”, but when it’s about trying to stupidly justify Hοοk’s failed attempts at TL kiss, before said bad deeds, she was “loving” the power of being the Dark One, didn’t want it to stop it, was choosing it over being happy Emma with her son & that’s why he failed, you guuuuuys!
They want us to believe as fully the DO she still loves her son, but before, just barely having becoming the DO, she was loving the power more & she was choosing to stay the DO. If only I had a dollar for every facepalm I had to endure because of OUAT f*ckery in order to push emetic pairings… *sigh*
Rumpel wanted to stay the Dark One in order to find his son, Emma “was loving the power” & choosing to be the Dark One hurting her son in the process? How do they honestly expect anyone with half a mind to believe that she ever loved anything more than her own son? Because by becoming the DO, she was losing him, not choosing him, not saving him. If all this is not a desperate and quite pathetic attempt in order to try and force CrS as “TL” then I don’t know what it is.
Plus, didn’t Emma say that she doesn’t want the power to Nimue? So how exactly is she loving it & “choosing” it when she aggressively asserts that she is not nothing & that she doesn’t want that power? They must’ve seriously written themselves into a corner when they can’t turn around a pairing and make it seem good without literally contradicting themselves/the show/its history/the continuity!
