Reaction to the latest episode

[wegotlucky]

Don't... don't say anything, okay?

I didn't want to... I did what I needed to do. To protect her.

I'd do the same in that horror show you've put me at, too. I'll protect Emma forever.

Comments

that episode just RIPPED MY HEART OUT.

[fuckyeahstarwars]

[There's a pause before Greg starts talking. He is stepping into dangerous territory and he knows it.]

It didn't have to end that way, you know. Still, I'm sorry for what happened.

[In an ideal world, that situation at the cannery would have been handled a lot better and with a lot less shooting.]

Mine too, man. Ow

[wegotlucky]

You shouldn't talk to me about how things should have ended.

Why me?

I loved her!

[fuckyeahstarwars]

I hate to put it this way, but you were useful. People like us are rare-most normal people never interact with magic like we did. Once that opportunity comes along...well, you've gotta snatch it.

[wegotlucky]

Lucky me then.

[The sarcasm is dripping with this one.]

[fuckyeahstarwars]

Look, I know what it's like to have your family ripped apart by magic. It's...horrible. So believe me when I truly say that I'm sorry for what happened.

[wegotlucky]

Yeah.

My mun let me know what happened to yours. Magic is terrible, but that doesn't mean I think torturing people is okay.

The minute you do that, you become as bad as them.

[fuckyeahstarwars]

No matter what I do, I'll never be as bad as her.

[wegotlucky]

Maybe not.

But your actions have separated a family. My family.

[fuckyeahstarwars]

And I'm truly sorry for that. But...it had to be done.

[wegotlucky]

If they die, I will never forgive you.

[fuckyeahstarwars]

Well, I hate to be that person, but it's not like you'll ever find out if they'll die or not, will you?

[wegotlucky]

It'll just be the third time I've ended up in the Land Without Magic.

[fuckyeahstarwars]

You really have horrible luck.

[wegotlucky]

That's one way to look at it.

[fuckyeahstarwars]

But surely, that ought to help you understand just what we're trying to do. Magic is dangerous-and we need to get rid of it no matter what.

[wegotlucky]

Killing people isn't the way.

[As bad as his father is, Neal doesn't even want to see him dead.]

[fuckyeahstarwars]

Sometimes it is. In this case, the end justifies the means.

[wegotlucky]

Sometimes... sometimes science is as bad as magic.

I don't know much about this world, I'll admit. But I do know that. You see a lot of parallels after a while.

[unvarnished]

Neal...

[just.. he doesn't even know how to process this okay. He's in space or something and can't deal]

[wegotlucky]

I'm.. I'm sorry.

I didn't want to believe it, when Emma told me. I couldn't believe it.

[unvarnished]

[the fuck is even going on, bro. He turns into a kid and things go to hell]

Look, it's... I understand. You had no reason to trust anything I said after what I did.

[wegotlucky]

I... I wanted to protect Emma, too. I wanted her to get back to her family.

I had no idea that things would go so wrong.

[unvarnished]

Things never turn out the way you think. I know that better than anyone.

[wegotlucky]

Yeah. Guess you do.

[unvarnished]

You have to find a way back to her, Neal. Okay? She needs you.

[wegotlucky]

I'm not going to let myself die.

I'll find her, August. I promise.

[unvarnished]

... Okay. I'm counting on that. [since he can't be there himself]

[wegotlucky]

You've got my word, I mean it.

[unvarnished]

[he nods. He's trusting you on this, Neal]

[pluckydarling]

My mundane insisted that I see you for some reason. I'm not exactly sure why. Baelfire, is it?

[wegotlucky]

Yeah, that's right.

Why would your mun want you to meet me?

[pluckydarling]

Erm...well, I'm not quite sure. My name is Wendy Darling, by the way.

[wegotlucky]

[Wait what.

Stare.]

You... you do look a lot like her.

The Wendy I know.

[pluckydarling]

You know another Wendy?

[wegotlucky]

I do! Well, did. A long time ago.

Wendy Darling and her two brothers John and Michael.

[pluckydarling]

You really do know me? And my brothers?

[wegotlucky]

You were family.

But then we got separated.

[pluckydarling]

Family? So in some way, we're related?

[wegotlucky]

That's right.

Your parents took me in after you had been helping me out. I was an orphan living off the streets, and you wanted to help me after you caught me stealing food.

[pluckydarling]

Strange. I don't recall this ever happening in my life. It must be an alternate universe...

[wegotlucky]

Probably.

You know how Neverland is a separate world from Earth?

It's kinda like that. There's another Earth where I met another you. You don't seem so different, though.

[pluckydarling]

Oh. So there are seperate worlds. That's actually...quite interesting.

[Not so different, except she's a cartoon.]

[wegotlucky]

It is!

[Not that that would surprise him. He was kidnapped by a Lovecraftian Peter Pan, after all.]

[emchanted]

I know why you did it. I get that.

But I never would have let go, never!

[wegotlucky]

It's okay, Emma.

I know you'll find me again.
