I’m shipping it now. This has to be the end result. I won’t even be angry. It’ll be perfect. They belong together. 😀
If they would stop giving RumBelle that icky good true love touch, it could be more interesting. Wouldn’t mind a more dark Belle then – but guess that is something most of audience won’t like, being so romanticized by the Disnyfied fluffy version of Beauty and the Beast. But Rumple is still good for some interesting dynamics.
I would actually love a darker Belle. It just feels a lot better than having her be pulled by a string. Rumpel also seems to be more interesting with a stronger woman, not someone who is (I’m sorry, Belle) so naive. Someone to kick him in the pants every now and then.
I’m calling it. The best season ever with the highest ratings will contain Darker Belle, and OutlawGranny.
