betsypaige22 reblogged your photoset and added: “betsypaige22: sieben9: When Belle Knew No, I am not obsessed....”
I agree. We need to remember that Belle is young -...
That young? Huh, I don’t really know. I mean, it tracks with her, uh, “marital state” (engaged, but not married), but I have a really hard time believing anything under 25 from the actress. Not in a bad way, mind! It’s just... that is the facial structure of a grown woman with no residual teenage-ness whatsoever. I get that in TV you have to suspend your disbelief over such things on occasion, but considering the whole love story... eh. *shrugs* I suppose it just makes me more comfortable. After all, you can be inexperienced with love at any age, as long as you didn’t have the opportunity before.
I definitely agree on the rest, though. (And I have seen that deleted scene; personal space and Rumplestiltskin are not the best of friends, I think *g*) I also think that she’s looking for an excuse to ignore her own feelings, because... well, like we both said: it’s terrifying. Being loved is scary. Being loved by someone who gleefully lets people think of him as inhuman and who told you he hasn’t loved anyone or anything in a long time... yeah, you can’t blame her for running.
And in the end, she did come back. Because it was the brave thing to do.
(It is now 2am and Sieben is still overanalysing fiction. In my defence, though, it’s a really easy episode to overanalyse *g*)
EDIT: Dang, I just re-read this and realised how accusatory that first paragraph sounds. Clarification: I absolutely did not mean to make her age a Thing. I was just thrown by the significant discrepancy in our respective headcanons and I wanted to elaborate on my thoughts. Sorry if I came across as agressive, I absolutely didn’t mean it that way.
