Hiatus High Jinx I Will Go Down With the Ship Week 2

[puppetmaker40.livejournal.com]

I’m going for the low hanging fruit first so this week it’s Rumbelle or Rumplestilskin and Belle.

So below are a few questions to start the discussion but feel free to add to it.

I do ask polite discourse which has been done in the past so I feel good about the future.

What do you like about the relationship?

What do you think they could work on?

Do you think they will need a marriage counselor any time soon?

What one scene made you swoon?

What did you think of their first scene together (being Skin Deep in Season 1)?

What did you think of their last scene this season (being season 3)?

Thanks for playing.

What do you like about the relationship?
Almost everything.

What do you think they could work on?
Belle seems fine but Rumple had better work on his honesty.
EDIT: Belle should doubt him a bit more. No aspersions on her, but she had to remember that he plays fast and lose with words and has had hundreds of years of twisting the truth/playing with words. It will take the poor dear some time to get the honesty thing right.

Do you think they will need a marriage counselor any time soon?
If/when Belle fines out that Rumple killed Zelena, yes. I think she could have forgiven him for giving into temptation and killing her but, lying about it and the dagger? I think they'll be in major trouble.

What one scene made you swoon?
Rumple's reaction when Amnesia!Belle walked into the shop. This centuries old man who plays with words was totally speechless.

What did you think of their first scene together (being Skin Deep in Season 1)?
I think Belle was more intrigued than scared of him. Not to mention annoyed at her father's reaction.

What did you think of their last scene this season (being season 3)?
AWWWWWWWWWW!

But also irritated but mostly becasue
1) I hated her dress, it was awful.
2) I keep thinking about how he lied to her about Zelena and the dagger. I'm really worried about this for next season (providing the writers don't just gloss over the whole thing)

What do you like about the relationship?

I liked that it wasn't about him becoming good for her or about her completely bending to him. She was independent. She knew who he was. She wasn't trying to change him, but she was subtly encouraging the good parts of him.

What do you think they could work on?

Honesty. The last few episodes of season 3 kind of spoiled my love of the ship given what Rumple did and his lack of concern for her. And yet he gets his marriage and I just have feelings on it.

Do you think they will need a marriage counselor any time soon?

Yes, absolutely. The minute she finds out what he did. And he needs a councilor period.

What one scene made you swoon?

I love the scenes where she makes him think. The library scene.

What did you think of their first scene together (being Skin Deep in Season 1)?

I fell in love with the ship right from the beginning.

What did you think of their last scene this season (being season 3)?

Awful. I guess my love for Rumple kind of has lessened. And he doesn't deserve her right now. And it isn't okay that he got his happy ending after what he did when Regina doesn't get hers even though she actually earned her redemption.
