thepixiewoods:OKAY I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS GIF FOR MY WHOLE LIFE. THERE IS SOMETHING DESPERATELY IMPORTANT I MUST POINT OUT ABOUT THIS.THIS is the best CS scene. I love the kiss, don’t get me wrong, but this is my favorite because it has juuuuust the right combination of Hook persona, Killian, the man of honor, the man who cares about Emma choosing him instead of being chosen for her by someone else, and most importantly, THE VULNERABLE MAN who is not as self-assured as he would like us all to think he is. The eyes here are all intensity. ROMANTIC intensity, knowing intensity. Now. WATCH HIS MOUTH. After he says “because you want me” his bottom lip/chin area QUIVERS. Thanks Colin, like you weren’t perfect enough. Hook knows by now that there’s something between the two of them. He WANTS her to choose him desperately. Probably more than anything he has ever wanted. She’s more than just his chance for happiness - because she’s not his chance just because she’s there and they get along well. It’s more than that. She’s his chance because she’s Emma, and Emma, just Emma, is the person he wants and loves. The reason he HAS the hope for a happy life that he now has is BECAUSE she’s Emma, not because she’s a girl who he thinks is pretty and would make a hell of a pirate. It’s SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT, and that’s why they have parallel life events and an immediate understanding of one another.So when people say that Hook can have a happy ending but it doesn’t have to be with Emma, I’m sorry, but it absolutely does. Because that’s how he feels, and it’s been established again and again by his sacrificing of his own potential happiness so that Emma can be happy, and by his attempt to TLK her. Because you have to remember at that point, Hook has spent probably the entire year with the Charmings. Where do you think he LEARNED about TLK? From the fucking masters, obviously. He KNOWS by that point what it means to try to TLK someone, and he knows it’s obviously a magic that can’t be tricked. If he truly didn’t love Emma, he wouldn’t have tried to do it. By now, he also probably knows that losing a true love means the other person feels they can’t move on. Charming probably told him that. Hook has had a year to talk to the experts on true love, to get the skinny on TLK, and to think about how he feels about Emma. Clearly, the TLK tells us everything we need to know about his feelings. He couldn’t move on if Emma was gone. He’d accept it if she chose someone else, because he’s an honorable man with a code - he says he is himself. But that doesn’t mean he’d be able to move on. So sorry, but his happy ending is with Emma.And even though he comes off as arrogant…clearly he’s not. Just watch this moment. -- source link
