Can I say something that I KNOW is not nice? I'm. Rewatching ouat again and in s5, when SOME OF THEM are marked for dead, rumple tells belle "say goodbye to your father and go" he really hates the guy xD I know it's not nice, moe is not nice either to be fair, but I love that he doesn't give a damn about his father in law (and neither does belle clearly, she never mentions it lol)
Here we are, years later and I don't get it. I don't get rumple's cowardice (at list how it's depicted)
1)not wanting to die and be a dead in a pointless war (especially since we know it's still on hundreds years later) not a coward... Smart. It's like, closest real example I can think of, people who didn't want to fight in the Vietnam War would be depicted as cowards... Mmm no
2)a guy with a limp, medieval time, doesn't sword fight with a pirate for a woman who left him... How is that cowardice?
3)not wanting to sword fighting... Is not cowardice... And neither is using your brain out of situations...
4)runole was a coward when he took the short cut, when he used regina to get what he wanted, he was definetely a coward when he didn't follow Bae through the bean hole (it can be argued its because of his previous experience with beans, but still)
5)im still on S5, but I remember him being pretty cowardly in 6a (and not because he became the dark one again, but because he looked for short cuts)
He wasn't a coward when : he tried to take Belle out of town in 5x06 (what am I here for, people who hate me?), when he killed himself (how convenient everyone forgets that), anytime before 1st curse (bad, yes, coward, no). I just think it's very screwed up to keep telling us "rumple is a coward" when he is not most of the time. He's an addict, and if I were Belle I'd have dump his ass at the townline in s4. But he is not a coward. Or we'll see all of us "not cowards" at the Afghanistan border fighting back"
I know I have been anti Belle since end of 5b,definetrly in 6....but u go my girl, the time line scene remains her stronger moment to me. Togethernwhen she first agree to go with him and that "I'll never stop fighting for him" that's my best belle. And I'm thinking of skipping their scene in 5b 6a becasuei know it ends well and I want to forget how much I hate her there. We'll see
One thing besides chipped bug I remember fondly of my ouat years, it's the people in the Fandom, specifically in the ouat fanforum (yes, we spoke in fanforum back then) I loved all those people, speculating together, guessing, doing polls.... It was so fun, I miss that. Also because I came along when things went badly, around s4, a d all of them were still great and loving. It was a good Fandom
Rewatching ouat angry moment:
Belle s1: there's a man behind a beast
Belle s2: I'm a pawn of Regina, I'm gold gf to the heroes, still...
Belle s3:saves sb, still is too in love to see the beast but still saves Wendy, Ariel, all but Neal (unfortunately)
Belle s4: I love u but stop being an ass... U are still an ass rumple, but I'm that good girl that's gonna be beside u as u go (I'm not ironic, I love her in s4)
S5: well u were an ass...but I still love u, it's never too late (quote) u go back i say no (completely agree)... Then we sleep together because u give me your car (????)
S6:and from now on is anti Belle, sorry... SO I'M GONNA BE BFF WITH THE WOMAN WHO KILLED YOUR SON, WITH THE MAN WHO STOLE YOUR WIFE, GUNNED ME, THE WOMAN WHO ASKED YOU TO KILL ME, NEVER APOLOGISED (unlike regina), then I'm gonna trust u so little that I'd rather have unprotected sex with u than trusting u to love our kid... Though that's your only red timing qualities
S6:belle does not exist, she's a plot device. Also, we spent 6 years establishing rumple is the worse, his only redeeming quality is that he loves his family.... Apoerantly not, s6 belle doesn't catch that
S7.... At least she is at peace in the afterlife
That's why "the town line scene" is my favorite scene:
-it's my turn to talk-that's bellle being courageous and nothing from the other Mary or Gary stue (hook and zelena). Rumple messed up, Belle is that strong to say "nope" no other stupid plot
-the weakness... I think belle misunderstood this, but again, it's the 2 of them
-it means that I... That we... Oh no nono. Rumple u idiot. Belle has every right to protect herself here
-the acting. If only they didn't make Belle a hook (?) and zelena (?????) cheerleader
So I watched "skin deep" again tonight... What was I thinking.... Though I was reminder why I love Lana
How I loved to hate u in that ep...
And why I love those two dorks...
Now I hate everything but those three.... But I do hate u lana too....
I also hope they don't buy that on valentines day
I love this episode so much
Also u have my forever love u evil beautiful babies who are not that evil but are so sexy when evil
And also why I loved rumbelle so much... She's perfect, until. S6, he's a beast, an imbecile, like... Rumbelle. 10 years from now I ll ignore the bad writing, I'll just remember why they were so good. And they were.
I can't seem to sleep tonight, and I'm going over my ouat tags....
As disorganized as they were. And thinking about it, I love it until season 6,with its ups and down.
I'm glad for:
Rumbelle from s1 to s5
But most especially, though they weren't my main ship:
Swan queen and chipbug (God I love u)
Outlaw queen (your support was amazing)
Snowing (we honestly had so many ups and downs, but everyone shipped rumple and charming come on)
Swanfire: to be honest we were on the same side from the beginning. And I still miss bae
Golden Swan:that was crazy, hope it was meant to be, but so much fun.
Golden queen : as a hard-core rumbeller, when I didn't want them together anymore, it was so on to me. Like my two favs, yea. Cora could have been a problem, but damn their chemistry.
Some from captain beauty. As wrong as it felt to me, u guys were generally a very good supporting Fandom.
I can't get how many years I'm late with this, but with all the ups and downs, and fighting, u guys were the best and funniest Fandom I've met (whether I agreed with it or not). If I'll remember something in 30 years about ouat it won't be rumbelle or Robert (i' ll remember him and love him from something else, don't worry) it's u guys! U taught me how Fandom work and I love u all. For. It
if I’m glad about something, what I’ll remember this show for is Swanqueen. No matter how they rouined it, sq will always be what I remember this show for (and chipped bug). Sq is what we get, what we moved for.
Besides the total loathe I have now for OUAT....it’s always good and sweet and nice to rewatch and rewatch <3 @avatoh who btw should be studying, not watch skin deep
This blog is personally amused of how much panicking Adam (and I guess E. is at this point).
And will keep that as a victory and won’t give the prick the satisfaction to give viewers (because seriously, if even an episode with all good but Rumbelle goes below 1....) ihihih, u hate the fandom? u want it gone? enjoy your below 1.
Also, last time they said S6 would be fun for Rumbellers, now the next episode we’re gonna enjoying...I’ll leave you to your math
“But Rebel, why can’t you make one post for this additional info?” “Because I’m a messy mess of messiness and things come out randomly”
Anyway, just three last thing to remember
1) Remember to # so it’s easier to track, so #RumbelleNeedsHope
2) If those who are on PC can keep track of the trends, I’ll be on my phone so I won’t be able to personally
3)REMEMBER TO HAVE FUN. Even if it’s not easy to make it work, you’ll have an hour of tons of Rumbelle posts, of positivity, of the great creations this fandom makes and of fandom unity. So enjoy the #Project, tweet and be happy!!!!!!
And since I don’t know when I’ll be back, thanks everyone who will participate and everyone who organised this! RUMBELLE ROAR!
