RG it may be wierd but it makes sense to me, it even make sense to me with Jafar. He loved his father and trusted him and as his father that should protected and loved him, killed his unwanted son. The hate was as strong as the love Jafar had for his father This kill and how Jafar did was understandable for me. Jafar told him that he wanted his father killed by one he love as much as he did once, but why did he then not just trick somebody his father already loved into murdering him, because Jafar couldn’t kill his father without be loved by him once. I know … I should visit Archy or maybe one who get the degree not of a curse.
fine. all of that may be true, but you’re sorta forgetting that ONCE isn’t WL and Rumple isn’t Jafar and that I literally have no idea how this relates to Rumple.
According to A and E, he’s self absorbed, self interested, selfish and everything on screen is in service of that. He doesn’t talk about missing Neal, he doens’t talk about being damaged from Zelena, it’s just that he can both Belle and power and he’s going to do that. He wants the power. All of it.
