captain–kitten:

Can I just say how much I die over how Captain Swan has become like one of the most domestically steady and normal couples on the show?

The two that everyone has basically side-eyed when it comes to romance because WALLS and PIRATE and CLOSED OFF TO LOVE and UNTRUSTWORTHY and SCOUNDREL and SCARED and ISSUES and so on…just like quietly defy it and build this solid existence together. 

Everyone (including her parents) were all “this won’t last” and “he’s bad, you’re good it could never work” and CS was just kinda like “ok” and then go about having quiet lunches and dinners and sitting by the ocean talking and getting to really know each other and supporting each other and meeting for coffee before work and listening and sharing and kissing and holding hands and lowering walls and more kissing and having Netflix nights and dressing up to go on dates and just opening their hearts to one another.

In the midst of literally living in a fairytale full of insanity and dRaMaaa, their relationship continues to grow at normal, well-paced, and logical intervals – meeting, flirting, dating, dating seriously, saying ILY, moving in together, planning their future, etc – even as the world around them goes up in flames. 

It’s just…it’s hope. 

If these two crazy kids could defy the odds that the world and their families and their histories stacked against them, if they could work through all of their walls and baggage and crazy destinies and connect in such a true and honest way, in such a steady and normal and organic way, in a way that lays a solid foundation for a happy future together…then…man. 

What a beautiful ray of hope, you know?
