colinschest lthranduilion #snow is about to die #the woman who gave birth to emma #to the woman that hook is in love with #is about to die #and that means that emma is going to be wiped out of existence #so yes this scene is about compassion and comfort and just being there for emma #but it’s also about the fact that in mere moments #emma could be gone #it’s instinct to reach out and grab her #to hold her close #because there are many, many layers to this embrace #i don’t think either of them are consciously acknowledging that fact in this scene #because this moment is about emma and her mother #but goddammit the ripple effect is THERE #the consequences ARE THERE #killian is going to lose her again #and this time it’s forever #thank god for dark fairy dust Source: lthranduilion captain swanouat
