Mr. Gold/Rumpelstiltskin Character Analysis

[a chipped cup]

^My dream job. 😆

Ok, due to recent spoilers, we've received quite a bit of information about Rumpel. In the season 2 promo, it was revealed that Rumpel will be working with a new weapon, a medalion. And yesterday it was also revealed that he and Belle will be able to kiss. Which is strange considering true love's kiss has the power to break his curse, thus robbing him of his powers. So, what does everyone think of this? I'm really surprised by the second development. If Rumpel isn't afraid to kiss Bele, does that mean his curse has been broken? Or does it mean that his curse is no longer a factor in this world?

So many questions. 😯

I think Rumpel’s medalion will do one of two things. It’s either a weapon that will be used against Regina or the final battle, or it’ll help him find Baelfire. Someone on Tumblr said that the symbol on the medalion meant “white arsenic.” So, Rumpel may be using the medalion as a way to poison Regina or any of his other enemies. But someone else said that the symbol on the medalion was also the symbol for gold. This theory makes more sense to me. Rumpel was able to spin gold during his days in Fairytale land, and his name in Storybrooke is Mr. Gold. So, I’m going to go with this explainanation. However, I’m not sure how the medalion will be used to find Baelfire. I’m just guessing that’s what it’ll be used for. His main objective is to find Baelfire, so most of his actions will be fueled by that desire.

And the kiss…oh the kiss. WAY. TOO. HAPPY. ABOUT. THIS. I don’t think his Dark One curse is fully activated in this realm. So kisses and other forms of romantic physical contact are easier to achieve now. But if Rumpel does somehow manage to return to Fairytale land without finding Baelfire, then Belle is going to be in trouble. He’ll be the Dark One again, and he’s going to need his powers to find his son. So, let’s all just hope that he find Baelfire QUICK. 😯

Looks more like the Alchemy symbol for Gold, as opposed to the Alchemy symbol for White Arsenic.

Last night was the first time I’ve seen a negative response to the rumbelle kiss. I was listening to the OUAT fan podcast and some people were saying in the chat room that the rumbelle kiss in the premiere episode was gross. 😕

I should have asked, compared to what exactly? I thought it was hot. And seeing gifs of the kiss all over my tumblr is awesome.

I liked the kiss though I did notice that they went from being a little distance apart when Belle made Rumple promise he wouldn’t kill Regina to suddenly being right up close so they could kiss.

What did you think of the scene between Rumple and Belle just after the Charmings left?

All magic comes with a price!

I do not think Mr Gold has the medallion in his possession anymore… but I could be wrong… I would have to see the episode again.

I think the kisses do not work because Mr Gold is not fully committed to Belle…. similar to Snow in revenge mode having forgotten Charming. Since Gold keeps things close to his vest he is not stupid enough to say this to Belle. I do not think he will fully commit until he has Bae back in his life….. Gold is a long term planner / strategist.

are we now into rating kisses…. instead of valuing love?
