Well, I don't know about you, but I'm prepared to mark today down as a motherfreaking success.

This probably isn't going to be a short chapter, but that's because the finale is next week and I have many emotions.

I'll start off by saying that even though I knew that it was coming Robin literally didn't do shit to deserve that like ?¿?¿?¿ no. But you wanna know why I still have hope? Because what happened to Hades when Zelena stabbed him? He turned into a pile of the dirt that he was. There's like no coming back from that.

(I say that and watch him come back next season. I swear to... Well, Hades, that if he does I will find a way to the fictional town and stab him myself.)

However.

Something different happened to Robin, didn't it? His body remained. And some may argue that it's because he wasn't directly stabbed by the crystal, but remember what Hades said about its effects? He said that those who were hit by it "Cease to exist. One moment you're there, the next you're gone." Well, I'm pretty sure that even though we (and Regina I think???) saw his soul leave his body, his body remained, something that didn't happen to Hades, who just turned into a pile of sand. Robin didn't cease to exist, he just died. So that's gotta mean something and we all know that the only people good at staying dead on this show are Daniel, Neal, and Cora.

The worst at staying dead being Killian Jones. Speaking of...

I swear this boy needs to make up his goddamn mind about whether or not he's dead because pretty soon I'm GOING to have a heart attack. Like please, for the love of all that that is holy, keep you heart beating for more that ten minutes this time, okay? Please. Literally no one is even going to believe you're dead next time.

Emma: Killian died... Again.

David: Give him a few hours.

Snow: He'll be back in like a day, tops.

Regina: Stop crying, he'll probably walk through that door any minute and you'll look like a fool.

Emma: No, guys, he's gone this time. He's dead.

Killian: *from outside the door* QUIT TELLING EVERYONE I'M DEAD!

David: Man, that's gotta be a record, he was dead for like thirty seconds this time.

Emma: That's not a record. The second time he died, I brought him back after like five seconds.

Killian: Anyone wanna let me in?

Emma: Oh yeah. KILLIAN BABY YOU'RE ALIVE!!!

I can see it happening.

But in all seriousness, that reunion scene destroyed me. The pure joy on both their faces, her just running to him and kissing the stuffing out of him, then kissing all over his face and his giggling and trying to explain what happened but her not caring and shutting him up with another kiss. Wow. I am a mess. The past few episodes have been one hell of an emotional roller coaster.

Also, Zeus ship's Captain Swan. No, literally, the fact that he sent Killian "where he belongs" and he ended up alive and right with Emma just means a lot to me okay?

Moving on, I'm actually soooo proud of Zelena. Like, I'm sure those who have been here since the "That Awkward Moment When" days remember how much I loathed Zelena, but she's grown on me this half season. She knew what the right thing to do was, and she was strong enough to do it, even if it meant choosing her sister over her true love. This is the redemption arc I've wanted for Zelena, and if you read any of my other stories, you'll know that I always write a redeemed Zelena in them. I'm so glad it's become a reality.

(Don't get me started on Raisin because I have no patience left for him.)

(Also, I don't plan on stopping calling Zelena's daughter Pistachio. During the episode I literally yelled at my mom "THEY'RE NAMING HER ROBIN OMGGGG" and I was right. But she'll always be pistachio to me.)

(I DIED when Arthur decided to be king of hell. How fitting. Also where the f is his wife like ????)

Everyone is feeling bad for Regina, and I get that, like yeah, her true love just died so obviously. But are gonna talk about Roland because the poor kid has been through so much more than a five year old should ever have to. Like can I adopt him and protect him from the world please because wow.

Yeah, that's pretty much it though. I'll either see you guys next week after the most definitely heart-wrenching season finale that I have absolutely no theories about, or at some point during this week for theories I may come up with after sneak peeks/promo pics are released.

One thing I do know is that the scene with Captain Swan making out and him lifting her apparently isn't a proposal, according to Adam and Eddy. Oh well, I think we've still gotten so e pretty awesome stuff between them in the past few episodes, like a true love confirmation. The norm. I'm honestly okay with that, I just wanted to let you guys know because I said before that I thought it was. We still get that epic kiss though, and obviously it's something big so we can still look forward to it.

What about you guys? Any theories for the finale? Do you actually think Robin is gone for good? Let me know.

Comment, vote, and thanks for reading!
