Emilie & Michael GET US.

So I was in an Instagram role play for less than 24 hours… my character was Baelfire (surprise surprise). Two girls literally bullied me out of it just because of their hate toward Baelfire… I cried, and then I left. My emotional and mental health deserves better.

I’m sorry they did that to you. I’ve been lucky, I’ve never had any issues. But I’m part of the Rumbelle fandom and others have had countless issues with CSers bullying them. Stand your ground; you love Baelfire and Swanfire, don’t let them take that from you.

Can any other Rumbellers chime in with advice?

Thank you <3 I stand by my statement that C$ is evil. Now the admin came on and called me a terrible person and that I’m the reason no one respects SwanFire… I admit that I called Hook two names… but it was only after I couldn’t take it anymore. She also said that God is mad at me for how I treated everyone in the group. I get that I was wrong to stoop to their level but that was kinda hurtful. Why do they have to dominate the entire fandom? They also lied to me and said it was going to have a SwanFire endgame … but then they changed their minds once it turned out the players of Hook and Emma were friends. UGH! Sorry for the rant, I’m just so annoyed. It also turned out that a majority of the girls were half my age anyway and that explained a lot I guess. 

One more thing: Back when I first got into Once Upon a Time, I thought that RumBelle had the nicest shippers and I still stand by that statement, five years later. Y’all are so nice to us SwanFire shippers <3

I’ve been in a couple of fandoms, but I’ve never seen a ship dominate an entire fandom and TV show the way CS did/has. I probably would have minded CS as much if it had originally been about them, but the show started out about Emma, Snow, and Regina. I often wonder what OUAT would have been like if Hook had stayed on briefly and disappeared as many other characters did. And the way the majority of the followers behave is insane. I know every fandom has its crazies, but CS seems to be full of it. ::eye rolling:: As for God - I’m sure He has better things to worry about than fandom squabbles. Gotta love it when people use Him for their own justification. ;)

As a Rumbeller, I’m happy to hear that you’ve had positive encounters. The majority of Rumbellers love Bae/Neal because he was Rumple’s son and first true love. Even before Belle, Rumple’s world revolved around Bae and Bae was Rumple’s motivation for the curse. Bae was a true hero in every sense of the word; he made some mistakes but out of his own goodness was eager to atone for them. I loved his and Henry’s relationship. Before season 3, it appeared that Swanfire was endgame. Bae/Neal’s death was devastating and we felt, pointless. Just an avenue to work Hook in there. I’ll always be bitter about Bae/Neal’s death. Michael Raymond James is such an amazing actor and completely under utilized. <3<3<3

Is this MRJ talking about what Edward Kitsis did to Neal or….?

Oh crap!!!!

I commented on one of Michael Raymond James’ pics on Instagram. Auto correct did something stupid and so I tried to reply and correct it. I accidentally sent Michael Raymond James a message. It said “bad ass…stupid auto correct.” ::wants to dig a hole and drop in::

Great ice breaker, sis. I wish I did something like that to get his attention. Just introduce me to him as your sis who is lusting after him.

You could send him a message yourself. Like “hot ass” or something equally witty. We’d be in competition though.

“I’m gonna marry your hot ass” think that’ll do or… perhaps too much?

Nope, just the right amount of pizzazz.
