[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"
*sigh* I stand by my previous insane fandom remark.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Why are people going for them?
Because this fandom is insane.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Is the filming for the first or second episode.
Probably the 2nd. It takes about 7-10 days to film an episode so episode 1 likely just wrapped.

It depends on how one is defining “creepy” which is such a nonsense word to begin with because people are “creeped out” by different things. For example, I am “creeped out” by the obsessive level with which Snowing love one another–disregarding their own lives, their own desires, their own individuality, their own internal characters, and, of course, their children (with Emma in NVL and with Baby Snowflake since he was born).
The question is not “is this ship creepy” because that question has no real answer given the rather fluid nature of the adjective.
The better question is “does OUAT demonstrate love in all its complexities and problems while keeping it believable, grounded, moral, ethical, and true to the characters as they were conceived and have been developed through the narrative?”
The answer is no.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"All the relationships on OUAT have a high creep factor; even ones that started off well.
Look at Snowing—it began as an epic love story and now they attached to the point that they are willing to die for each other (and sometimes Regina) leaving their two children behind!Nevermore is right that it’s largely thanks to Bobby’s portrayal that Rumbelle doesn’t have a high creep factor. If you read the initial draft of Skin Deep there’s much more to the opening war cabinet scene–interactions between Rumple and Belle that show he was drawn to her and took her because he found her desirable, not simply to upset Moe, as it comes across on screen thanks to some editing.
(and this is, of course, to say nothing of the fact that Rumbelle has taken quite the emotional beating over the past few seasons with a real ugliness coming to bear in the way Rumple AND Belle both attempt to negotiate each other’s identities to fit into some sort of more acceptable mold)
Love on this show is petty, demanding, childish, stalkery, creepy, obsessive, and sacrificial to the point of self annihilation and internal/identity annihilation.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"They did well enough with Hades but pretty poorly with Zeus so their track record with my beloved Greek gods is mixed.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Adam said on twitter, not that i believe in what he says that Regina sword fighting is for the premiere, but then again a hooded character swaord fighting with Emma, is suspicious to say the least.
Lana is probably doing sword fighting for the EQ…and it’s the EQ in the hood.
