Rumpel talking to the Blue Fairy is right after he loses Baelfire. His clothes, appearance and voice all place him at that point in the timeline. Regina and Jefferson came 200-250~ years AFTER he lost Bae.

When has there ever been a mention of such a timeline? I didn’t think Rumple had been around that much longer. Surely after 200 years he would assume Bae was dead?

To make the perfect working curse he needed every piece in a specific place – it was a long-term solution. He needed to get Cora to marry Henry, and then to corrupt Regina to get her to enact it, he needed Snow and Charming together to have a child, he needed to be imprisoned in Price of Gold… He had to manipulate things every step of the way. But whilst he was doing that he was searching for an easier way, a way that wouldn’t make him lose his memory for 28 years, a way that would get him exactly where he needed to go when he needed it. So he was searching and searching for something that could be a fast solution.

Also, Crest1994: Robert Carlyle confirmed that Rumpel is 300 years old. This is why all the theories about Rumpel being able to manipulate time, or Baelfire going to Neverland and becomign Peter Pan are very popular.

Perhaps Rumple doesn’t want to acknowledge the possibility that Bae is dead. Imagine how heartbreaking that would be, after everything Rumple has done to be reunited with Bae, he discovers Bae is already dead.

I posted a theory on what I think happened to Bae when he went through the portal. https://oncepodcast.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1826

All magic comes with a price!
