Hi, Santee! I hope you're well. Today I would like to know what's your favorite thing about how Rumbelle interacts. For me, it's that their senses of humor match. I imagine them going through their lives making jokes no one else finds funny, until they meet each other, and at long last are able to make someone else laugh.
hello, santa! i totally agree! the two of them have such a unique humor they share. like in skin deep with the quip about skinning children, she wasnāt even mad at that! itās like for the first time in 300 years, he has found someone who actually finds his humor funny and not freaky. itās very sweet. and iām sure belle did not have anyone prior who had a weird sense of humor. her life before the dark castle was probably too mundane for her liking.Ā
what i love about their interactions is how (from when they are first reunited in S2) they immediately act like theyāve been best friends for years and years you know? like in the outsider episode, she comes into his shop and is like what did you want to tell me? and he is so excited to tell her and she is so happy for him and they have their dorky flip phones. they have dorky lunch dates. they talk to each other and listen to each other. they have picnics.Ā
also, they are BOTH massive dorks. she loves to read. he loves to collect things. there are major stories in both of these. they like old things and they refuse to acclimate to this world of technology (aside from the flip phones but even then, emma had an iphone. gold so could have afforded that but either refused to bend to technology or was too dorky to realize that was the āinā thing).
lastly, i love that they find comfort in each other even when they did not have the words (because a lot of skin deep was them not knowing what to say like when he talked about his son, there was that long silence) even with the not knowing, they still chose to spend their time in the dark castle in the exact same room. this is a HUGE castle and they easily could have avoided each other but they liked spending time together for whatever reason. in the EXACT same ROOM.
so to put it simply, i just love that they find comfort in each other and that they are each otherās best friends and biggest supporters. itās the little things. just the two of them together is all they need. just tenderness.
i hope that answers your question!!!Ā
