I want to draw this for a while, and yesterday I saw the post that today(10th May) is Remembering Baelfire
day.
I spend my 4 hours free time draw this. (three hours crying and one to actually draw it.)
I love papafire, it’s my fav relationship on the show and I still hope they give me a surprise scene when Rumple get to reunite with his son in the final.
-Without Baelfire, there would be no show because Rumple took on the Dark One curse to save him from the Ogre War and he got Regina to create Storybrooke in the first place so that he could find Baelfire again. Regardless of the later inconsistencies regarding the difficulties of portal jumping, this is still an important plot point for the first three seasons of the show
-Baelfire had established relationships with much of the main cast including Emma, Killian, Belle, and Henry. There was also potential for him and Regina to have one as well since they were coparents. Unfortunately, the development of many of those relationships is in some very good fic due to the character’s untimely death.
-The character clearly meant a lot to both Michael Raymond James and Robert Carlyle
-Baelfire’s fandom has seen some shit to put it mildly but there’s some cool folks in that fandom who have managed to keep writing fic and rolled with the punches as best they can
Fics I’ve written with Baelfire as an important character:
It is highly unlikely that Baelfire will be seen in the finale of OUAT. It’s possible but not extremely likely that he will even be mentioned.
Baelfire is Rumple’s son. Baelfire is Henry’s FATHER. Baelfire was important to OUAT and he shouldn’t be erased from the narrative. So let’s honor this character.
Those of you who are so inclined, please consider writing a fic or making a fanvid or drawing fan art to remember and honor the character of Baelfire/Neal Cassidy.
This can be anything – it can be Papafire, Swanfire, SwanFireQueen, Henry and his dad, Gideon and his brother, Baelfire and his granddaughter Lucy, Rumbelle and Baelfire, adult Bae/Neal or kid Baelfire – so many relationships that were never explored because this wonderful character was written off the show for no good reason.
Due date for all contributions to this even will be Thursday, May 10 – the day before the penultimate episode of Once Upon a Time.
When posting your fan contribution, please tag it #remembering baelfire FIRST, followed by any other tags that are appropriate.
I hope many will consider participating. Baelfire was important and he deserves to be remembered. Please share and spread the word!
Continued from here: AU in which Mr. Gold constantly finds himself in trouble with the local sheriff (his daughter-in-law), and his exasperated son is so done with it.
