EW Spoiler Room March 1: Rumple and the Guardian

[RumplesGirl]

Anything about Rumple and the Guardian please? Rumple’s the only Once Upon a Time character you haven’t asked about during the hiatus, so it’d be great if you asked one about him before Friday’s new episode! — Texas Oncer

Truly sorry, but I hope I can now over-deliver on the Rumple scoop: “We know that he has a very tough mission, which is to resist his darker impulses, so he can keep his heart clean and go back to Belle,” EP Edward Kitsis says. “That is going to be challenged. The thing is, as Weaver, or as Rumple or Gold, he is The Dark One, which wields the most powerful dark magic, and at some point, someone is going to want to take that knife. We’re going to see a couple people go after him in this second half and it’s going to be very tough for him to not punch back.” The OUAT bosses also promise they will answer why Rumple had reverted to his old self in that midseason flashback. “There’s more scaly Rumple to come, don’t worry,” EP Adam Horowitz adds.

“so he can … go back to Belle”

I know that a messed-up character’s beliefs don’t necessarily reflect the showrunners’ beliefs, nor that they’re meant to be taken as instruction for the audience, but it just tears my heart apart every time someone talks about a death wish as the ultimate expression of love.

We love people, and they die. It breaks us. We go on (for a while) and learn to cope (somewhat). We don’t have to seek our own death, because that’s inevitable, and making it happen early would just pass on our pain to others.

There’s a better way of looking at it, I think.

Rumpel seeks to be mortal again so that one day, some day, he will die and be reunited with his wife.  But also he doesn’t want the dark one dagger to continue to effect other people and cause further evil. The easiest way for him to die would simply be for him to allow someone to kill him  but he doesn’t want that.

I admit I barely recall anything with the guardian situation though so ??‍♂️

I understand him wanting to be able die. It’s a curse to remain here forever and everyone you could ever love moves on from you.

And god forbid he allows someone to kill him and he ends up trapped in the vault of the dark one (since Nimue was able to bring the other dark ones with her when she appeared to Emma I’m guessing that’s exactly what happens)
