@wickedRegal you ship dark/heart?? I thouht i was the only one 🙂
I think the main reason i ship Cora with Rumple is because she is w refreshing new prespective on Rumple.
While everyone on the show keeps calling him a coward, belitteling him, thinking he is only interested in collecting power and nothing else, Cora sees him as the man he actuwlly is. She said “really, Rumple, hiding is beneath you” when he was dying in his back room and Emma made the protection spell, remember? She also came to his shop for a truce, she will find Regina undisturbed, and she gave him the globe to find his son. Showing that she knew what he was all about, and it was not collecting power, but finding his son. The parallels between Cora’s manipulation of her daughter and Rumple’s fear of his son not accepting him were starking. Cora is so smooth with poor Regina, while Rumple completely falls apart and has no clue what to say, how to ask forgiveness…
@nevermore, wow, from what you are saying… reducing Rumple’s complex and fascinating character to a woobified villain, just like another Hook…. i don’t know what to say… i am glad i stopped watching
Speaking of watching, i just watched “true north” of season 1, and by gawd! The way Emma right away thought about finding these childrens father, it was like she projected her own situation onto the twins’. When Henry asked if she has something of his father’s, she said no. (Haha) but this sentimentality is what gave her the idea that the mother must have kept SOMETHING to remember their father… just like she had… she obviously loved Neal throughout season one…
