Thanks for sharing!
There is so much contrast between the photos of Milha and the one of little Bae and Rumpel. Whereas Milha looks like a well-kept woman with expensive jewels (which she probably gets from Killian), Rumpel and Bae are dressed in humble muslins. There is so much anguish in little Bae’s and Rumpel’s faces, and Milha looks like she was just caught in the act. I feel so much for poor Rumpel and Baelfire. No wonder Rumpel became so consumed by gold, wealth, and power. He must’ve been devastated and humiliated beyond description by Milha running off with the likes of a dashing pirate like Killian.
I didn’t catch Milah wearing jewels before. I guess I was too busy hating her guts now, 😀 . Seriously though, that reminds me of an idea someone brought up at Television Without Pity about Mysterious Man. Well first someone speculated that because of his suit, it looked like he was a businessman or lawyer of some type, but not a successful one because of his apartment. However, someone interjected that perhaps he could be successful, but it might make sense that he purposefully chooses to live in a crappy apartment even if he could afford to surround himself with better things because he associates nice things with the loss of his father. If his mother left because of not only wanting adventure but because she was tired of being poor, then it makes even more sense that might be why his apartment is so crappy.
Of course, it could just be that’s all Bae could afford to live in since NYC is so expensive, but I could see this idea being true since he might be okay with wearing a nice suit for whatever his occupation is since that could be a requirement, but in his private life, he chooses to live like he does because he associates wealth with corruption. That could also be a small part of the reason that if he and Emma were some kind Bonnie and Clyde type of small time criminals that he left her to take the rap because he thought he was becoming too much like his parents. Well that, and mostly he probably felt that Emma would eventually turn on him first because of his trust issues.
