Does Belle make a habit of sneaking into other people’s houses to have sex with Rumple?
Oh wow, this is fanfic worthy xD
Fifty Shades of Gold… Lol
You know… this has potential (well, Ok, maybe not in terms of a fanfic. Although…). Anyway, as this article suggests (in a few more words), Fifty Shades is essentially about the fantasy of having sex with capitalism.
In this vein, Rumple’s Gold persona is a kind of parvenu magnate (he’s sort of all the negative capitalist stereotypes — pawn broker, lawn shark, landlord — rolled into one.) There is also the sense that Gold’s fortune (just like Rumple’s magic) are not legitimately acquired, and hence are empty in the end. (As to why that is, see my occasional rants about OUAT’s feudal ideology of privilege). So from this perspective, it’s interesting that Belle has a tendency to shun Rumple when he’s closest to his “original” persona, but comes back when he’s more “Gold”-like or “DO”-like.
(Also, I leave for a week, and this is what SF is talking about?) XD Trolololo
