hahahaha total chaos basically

we knew that there was a picture in that week’s EW issue that “captain swan fans will want to see” and then we saw it and it was this:

and OH, THE SHIT WAS LOST. remember, this is early in season 3 where Neal is not yet actually dead and we just had season 2 where 2b had no Hook at all and most people still think we’re off our nut for thinking that CS was going to be a thing. Jen had teased that “it’s always fun when you get to kiss someone” and we were basically sure it was Hook, so we were already on high alert. This was the first time we were conclusively validated that CS was romantic and happening, even though most of us, myself included, had predicted it all along. And we basically went crazy.

Then came the gif. Which I don’t have, but it moved. IT MOOOOOOOOVED.

EW openly admitted they were camping out in our tag and laughing at our fangirl explosions.

Then came the preview for 3x05 with a “shocking” (trolololololol) “hookup”:

Then came the actual, no-music, sneak peek of the real thing.  Which tumblr is maddeningly refusing to let me embed but it’s here.

WE

DIED.

WE STILL DIE.

WE WERE DEAD.

WE MADE ALL THE EDITS, ALL THE GIFS, ALL THE GRAPHICS, ALL THE GENERAL DEADNESS HAPPENED AND LEFT NO FANGIRL BEHIND. IT WAS A TSUNAMI OF FEELS LIKE YOU CAN BARELY IMAGINE IN THE DAYS WHEN WE GET KISSES AND CUTE STUFF AND COUPLENESS ON THE REGULAR.

i perfectly remember that moment!

i found that famous gif released by EW

and here are screenshots from the first article about CS kiss :D

AND if you want I have a tag on my blog HERE that has all the posts from when it happened and all the fangirling (pretty sure i reblogged a lot of it lmao). ACTUALLY BEST WEEK ON TUMBLR TBH

The last thing i remembered after hitting the floor and fai ting is putting me crying and moaning
