I reject the notion that Killian manipulated Emma into kissing him in Good Form. He issued a challenge yes, but she’s a big girl and could have easily walked away from him. She didn’t want to because she had feelings for him even though she was far from admitting it. Emma initiated a kiss perhaps partly to settle a score, but they both wanted it and both were clearly screwed afterwards.
Same here. No, he didn’t manipulate her. No way.
And like you said, it was Emma’s choice to kiss him.
He didn’t manipulate her, but like you said Kris @flipperbrain, he issued a challenge and she jumped on the chance. In fact if we put our minds to it we could probably come up with a good argument that she pushed him to challenge her
Another thing to note, and maybe this is just me thinking this. But after saving David’s life and he was getting praised for doing so (though it wasn’t about saving his life), he didn’t want that recognition so he resorts to flirting. It’s who he is when he doesn’t want to be vulnerable. Whip out an innuendo here or there and it diffuses the tense situation.
And like you all said, it was Emma’s choice to kiss him, she could’ve walked away but she didn’t. And never has Killian ever forced anything on her, their entire relationship she’s setting the pace. Hell, she practically had to ask him to tell her how he got to her in New York. Remember how he didn’t want to say anything until she had to get it out of him?
I just get so tired of the ridiculous scrutiny Killian goes through. I mean, I’m a flirty, dirty talking, inappropriate person 90% of the time, lol, as are many of my friends and colleagues. We are adults and interact as adults sometimes do. You always have to consider the situation of course and the comfort/friendship level of the people you’re talking to… but I see things said about what I consider innocuous remarks like the “that’s usually my tactic” line and think I’ve said the same kinds of things myself when I’ve been out carousing. It doesn’t mean I acted on it and roofied some dude at the bar. It’s the literal interpretations and the jump to half-assed psychology that bugs me. This is why I have decided NOT to run for President in 2020. I’m sure my illicit behavior would do me in even though the bar has been set pretty low these days. 😉
Case and point he was literally standing at least far enough away that she had to reach out and grab his lapels to haul him in for a kiss that it shows he was not up in her face or in any way in her personal bubble. Sure he issued a challenge but he probably thought he was going to get turned down yet again. Besides lets look at her face right before she locked lips with him
she hasn’t even grabbed him yet but she is laser focused on his lips and the WANT in her eyes is about as obvious as bonfire in the middle of darkness
This is when she is hauling me in and that is the same look I get when I am about to eat a big old bite of Triple Death Chocolate Cake, She is HUNGRY to lip lock with that flirty Pirate and she is about to take no prisoners. She has been WAITING for this moment and excuse to kiss him and nothing is gonna stop her….
She hits him with such force, her face squishes up against his….
and the force of her attack throws them both backwards… Meanwhile she gripping him hard making sure he ain’t goin nowhere…
THey rock back and lo and behold one of her hands has traveled to the back of his head, further making sure he is not gonna break away from her till she is good and ready…
And now her brow is slightly creased…she must be thinking. “OMG this is waaaaay better that I thought it would be and I don’t want it to end!”…..
Killian is enjoying this too. ;)….
Ok, time to take a breath of air…..
ROUND 2 !!!!!!!!
Killian tries to be a gentleman and disengage here…..
And Emma thinks “Oh Hell NO!!” and chases him for more…
A few more eternal moments of bliss and she disengages but you can tell she is fighting herself here.. she is so far gone and WANTING more that it scares the begeezus out of her…
SO yeah..she wanted it and she wanted it BAD/……sorry I got carried away with the pics. 😉 😉 🙂
Firstly, bless that beautiful analysis and commentary.
Secondly, if I may add….
Emma purposely snuck behind those bushes with intention.
That’s my personal opinion.
Homegirl could have went back to camp with mom and pappa dearest, but she had this look on her face before turning in the other direction to lead Killian underneath the bleachers so her friends and the principal wouldn’t catch them.
Look at that face. She’s all “target locked and ready”.
I mean- look how out of sight from the others she went.
She may as well have said “psst! Killian! over here so we can make out!”
if she didn’t have plans to grab a piece of pirate, she could have stayed where she was *shrugs*
And when Killian teases about gratitude being in order….
SHE IS SMILING.
SHE’S GOTTEN THE REACTION SHE WANTED.
THIS IS CALLED ‘PLAYING HARD TO GET’, FOLKS.
OPERATION ‘LUSTY LIPLOCK’ IS A GO.
Seriously. Emma wasn’t some confused delicate flower tricked into owing the guy a smooch.
She’d been been wanting the same as him for days.
She just didn’t want him knowing it.
eye fucking….
damn, he caught me…
LOOK. AT. HER. WATCHING. THE. BOOTY. WALK. AWAY.
EVEN SNOW KNOWS WHAT’S UP!
Tell me that’s not a mother knowing her daughter is going after the ‘bad boy’ and is mentally planning an intervention.
