Exactly. I would have actually thought something was wrong or off if Belle rejected Mr. Gold in the finale. I would have thought that she was brainwashed or something. It’s already been proven that Belle and Rumpel are each other’s true loves. And having her all of a sudden being deathly afraid of him would disprove that. I know in the real world you can love someone and still be afraid of them. But like it or not, this show isn’t about the real world. It’s about fairytales and magic. Its rules for true love are different from those in the real world. It’s supposed to be pure and unyielding. There can’t be any doubt or fear in it. That would taint it, thus making it impure and not really true love. Normal love? Maybe. But true love? Definitely not.
Exactly. Belle didn’t recoil in fear because she’s not afraid of him. She loves him. So yes, she’s going to be happy to see him. And having her all of a sudden hate him or fear him would be a complete retcon of the already established canon about their relationship. So Belle’s reaction to Mr. Gold in the finale was completely in character and not at all shocking or confusing. I don’t think the writers would say they’re true love, only for them to go back and say “whoops, we made a mistake. We were just kidding.” š
In her final scene with Rumpel in Skin Deep, she was pleading with him to understand and change his mind. She wasn’t angry at him. She was trying to talk some sense into him. I thought it was quite obvious what the writers were trying to do. I actually thought Belle’s love for Rumpel was quite clear. When we see her again in Dreamy, she’s going on and on about true love and how valuable it is. She was obviously talking about Rumpel. She was hurt and still missed Rumpel. That was made abundantly clear.
