Belle & Rumpelstiltskin Relationship Thread

[*The Looking Glass*]

Wow! Thank you so much for posting those! I'll be heaven for the next few days now.

I also agree that Belle and Rumpel's romance was very genuine and heartfelt. I didn't truly realize just how much Rumpel loved Belle until the scene with Moe French and the scene where Regina return the chipped cup to Mr. Gold. Before this episode, I didn't really expect anything substantial to come from OUAT's version of Beauty and the Beast. It just looked like another episode of how Rumpel dooped another poor girl. But after the episode finished, I was grateful for the episode. The writers turned a potential disatser into a masterpiece. It was so beautifully done. I still think Skin Deep stands as the season's greatest episode.

Oh, let me count the ways in which I love this ship. This story was surprisingly beautiful. I was shocked at how well done the Beauty and the Beast story was done. The Disney version of Beauty and the Beast had enough wonderful elements in it to pull in any viewer, but the OUAT writers did something different. They were bold and daring and took the story in completely new direction. Even though they radically changed the story, they returned it to the story's dark core. That's hat makes me love this couple. The darkness of their story.

I was debating where to put this, but if Belle does get out of that asylum and supposing she has her memories and she meets Gold at one point, do you think she'd actually know who he is? Gold looks a lot different than he did as Rumple and even his voice has a different, uhm, color, for wont of a better term. Sure this is supposing a lot, but I was pondering over this. Would he approach her first? Would she believe who he was? Or would she know immediately.

I have a thought about this. Ever since Mr. Gold came out in the open to Regina about who he was in "Skin Deep", some of his Rumple mannerisms have been coming out (especially on the Stranger ep!). So, I think if Belle were to observe the way he behaves there would be some feeling of familiarity...and if he were to show his gentleness and kindness the way he did in Skin Deep to her...then they would fall in love all over again

I created a separate tag for my rumbelle fanfics on my tumblr.

I was also surpised at how well the episode turned out. I thought it was just going to be The Price of Gold Part 2.

Belle and Rumpel's story could so many different ways. But I'm excited for all the possibilities. This is the only story that has actually managed to touch my heart this season. The show can be really cheesy sometimes. The romances are cheesy, some of the episodes are cheesy, some of the acting is cheesy. But Belle and Rumpel's relationship was very adult. Not in the admirable kind of way, but in it's content. Their story was very dark and gloomy. And the thought of Rumpel believing for all these years that his one true love died a horrible torturous death...*Tear*

Thanks for posting all the awesome fan fics! I'm going to be drowning in Rumbelle goodies all weekend!

Oh, I love this couple so much. After only one episode, these two have stolen my heart. I have never been this passionate about a ship in my entire life. It's so beautiful and romantic and heartbreakingly tragic. I don't think my heart could handle anything less than a happy ending for these two. I know I'll have to wait a few seasons for it (possibily the entire series) but it's worth the wait. I love everything about these two and I'll wait a thousand years for their happy ending.

I'd wait forever too. I'm very patient when it comes to my favorite ships. Just as long as neither Belle or Rumpel is killed off, I'll be fine.

I read a theory that said Regina will take "custody" of Belle and become her official guardian. Regina will take Belle into her home and dangle her in front of Mr. Gold whenever he gets...out of line. Oh, THE ANGST!!!

Even show writer Jane Espenson likes Rumple and Belle

[Midnight Dreary]

Of course she loves them! She's the one who brought them together. She wrote the episode!
