At the end of this story, because this is the end, it’s became incredibly clear that
1) The writers never knew what they wanted to do with Rumbelle or Belle
2) The writers like Dark!Rumple more than AttemptAtRedemption!Rumple
They rushed through it for both reasons. If the shippers are happy that they got a HEA, then great! But I think looking back the story is more than just flawed…it’s bad.
