I think the library (and possibly bedroom library–the pillow is totally on the bed/couch in the corner of the scene) was his way of thanking her for stopping him. When he realized what he would have been doing by killing Robin Hood, it hit super close to home. Belle saved him from committing a crime he would have hated himself for later. (You know, more than he already hates himself.)

I’d say it also reflects a blossoming affection for his caretaker, but I think that’s what his logic was in his mind.

Yes, I agree.

Once again, awesome character break down analysis thelonebamf. I read that whole thing from beginning to end.

I agree, Rumpel giving Belle the library (even as another space to clean) was definitely “testing the waters of a potential relationship.”

Over all, I think the episode was less about Belle falling in love, rather more about Rumpel opening himself up to love. With Skin Deep, you see the reverse: Belle seeing Rumpel in a different light and falling in love with him.

I saw this on Tumblr and have to share:

Ok that’s just awesome lol

I didn’t think about that when I watched, but yeah 😆 😆 😆

I actually cannot stand the mention of Stockholm Syndrome in reference to Belle falling for Rumpel. B/c their relationship is NOT that.

I am a huge Belle fan- always have been, since the Disney film came out- and I love the Once version. I don’t think it was the pillow that made her fall for Rumple…it was just the first inkling that maybe he had some feelings. She still believed him to be a monster until the moment when she knew he’d intentionally let Robin Hood go.

I agree. The pillow did not make Belle fall in love with Rumpel.

Very good essay thelonebamf.

Maybe it’s because I’m able to separate the two, but I have no problem with OUAT’s version of Belle.

In Belle’s defense, (because I just watched the episode a few hours ago), this episode was supposed to show the early days of rumbelle. She was taken away from her family and friends with the possibility of never seeing them again. Who wouldn’t cry in a situation like that? If she didn’t show any kind of negative emotion about being separated from her family, that would not be healthy at all. So it’s okay for the girl to cry about that.

But it doesn’t make her weak.

I agree about the context thing. In addition, I think she can not only see the best, but probably it’s opposite too — the worst in people.

I really wasn’t keen on Belle in S1- I don’t know why exactly, because Belle is like my fav disney princess…or maybe that is why (didn’t want my childhood fav being portrayed in away I may not like) lol.

She has grown on me this season, as has Rumplebelle, I still get frustrated with her sometimes, but I don’t have any problems with her at all, she is just… Belle….. Lacey on the other hand- now that chick is mentally unbalanced & creeps me out now 🙁
Maybe someone else who really dislikes her can shed some light on possible reasons….. 😕

Yes, I really don’t care for her either and still hasn’t changed.

But why though?

The way that I view Lacey after finally watching the episode, she is the opposite of Belle. Like how David possessed the qualities opposite of Charming. The curse was supposed to bring that out in their characters. I think still there’s hope we may get Belle back at some point, although it probably won’t happen right away.

I’m actually excited for Lacey/Gold right now b/c we might finally get some sexy time b/t those two. Even if we don’t get some on screen, just point me in the direction of some sexy Lacey/Gold fanfiction and I’ll read it.

I would love to hear the story of Robin Hood. I think his character is not as noble as noble as he is in the stories we know. The sheriff was made out to be a creeper but what if robin was the reason he became that way

Hmm, I’m not sure how I would feel if Robin turned out to be a bad guy? A man who’s stood for good and helping people for centuries suddenly becoming bad? That is not Robin Hood.

I think Regina casts a spell on Henry. 😕 What is Regina thinking? Now Henry will never want to go near her, unless she cursed him to stay with her. What is she going to do-keep him forever in a drugged state? Yep, mother of the year. 🙄

I agree.

That is a great line. Also, totally not fitting with what Regina said in The Queen is Dead when she told Snow in Granny’s that they had added Evil to her title.

Also, I agree about the evil queen adding evil to her own name. There was a clip of an entire town being massacred and corpses everywhere at the 36 sec mark. She’s like a female Stalin. :x.

It’s very fitting indeed. Can’t wait for this episode.

What does ST stand for? Surely, it’s not Swan/Tiny! If so, I just can’t see it.

I had this same question a few pages back. It’s short for Swan Thief = Emma & Neal.

Okay, I’d like to shift the conversation.

I’ve noticed some hate towards Belle (which is baffling to me b/c she is awesome). Without flaming or bashing, can people who hate Belle explain why they hate her?
