Am I the only one who remembers RC comparing the clutch magic has over Rumple to a drug? Cause ya'll, we've all slept on this holy shit. Rumple desperately trying to ween off magic, shaking and vomiting in the bathroom, while Belle holds a cool flannel to his head and tells him it'll be worth it, just a few more days of this. Rumple's chronic pain in his ankle growing worse from how tense his body is as it craves the magic it so achingly needs. Rumple being disoriented and hazy, not knowing what day or what time it is. Rumple itching to relapse but the thought of feeling like that again sending nausea down his spine. Rumple throwing away his potion vials and spell books because they're too tempting. Rumple's anxiety spiking as he uses magic less, and him having to go to Archie more. Rumple celebrating a week, a month, a year being clean. Rumple helping others (Emma, Regina, fuck, even Snow) to be clean too, because he knows how hard it is. Rumple hating himself for Gideon inheriting his addictive gene, and having to watch his son struggle with it too. Magic being a drug, guys,,,, he was using it for 300+ years,,, guys,,,
