Rather Mistaken

A happy RCIJ to @celticheartedfangirl​ and you all! Get ready for some ridiculous misunderstanding all spawned from “shut up and kiss me” which, is a perfect prompt, thank you very much!

It hadn't started out as feelings.

When Belle started at Storybrooke Public Library, the one thing she wished for was that men who'd obviously stopped reading books in school, if not sooner, would stop coming by and lingering. Some of them were so comitted to hiding their lingering they'd actually signed up for library cards and checked out books, although Belle wasn't so vain that she assumed all the male patrons were there to ogle at a pretty young face.

Enter Mr. Gold.

She'd been told by the old librarian, Mrs. Potts, (sweet woman, made excellent tea, knew everyone's business in a matter-of-fact fashion as opposed to gossip,) that Gold was a regular at the library. He checked out one book, which he returned the following Thursday, and repeated the process unless the library was closed or he was out of town. But he always thought to return the book on time and had never had to pay one penny in late fees.

Did you notice that the “heroes” didnt give any...

Seeing how Rumple and Belle were basically off in their own tiny sideplot-bubble after she handed over the nameless pink baby, I’m not really surprised. I mean, yes, I could see this as a deliberate character choice for the heroes... or I could just assume that the writers didn’t remember to include a two-line “what about Belle?”-dialogue. (They certainly didn’t care enough to have Belle tell any of them about Hades’s threat to her baby. Or just have her talk to them once after that first time, really.)

In-character, though, yeah, it’s pretty shitty. The only half-decent explanation would be “well, her name was never on one of the stones, she can leave whenever she wants”, but that still means she’d have to rely on Rumple to get back out, and I thought he was untrustworthy and probably-evil again, right, Emma?

Basically: I think this is just lazy writing and time constraints, even if it is really frustrating.

There’s a possibility that you underestimate my capacity for bullshit *g* But I’ll keep it in mind.

I am SO GLAD that you’re clear that the book — ALL...

The whole authorship (or Authorship, if you like) thing is really confusing if you stop and think about it even for a moment, but as presented in the text it's absolutely clear that this story was Isaac’s brainchild/pet project for years--long before he ever talked to Rumple. The only creative collaboration between the two seems to be on the matter of Bae. Or, rather, Rumple’s memories of him.

Obviously, that opens up a whole can of worms like “why did Isaac even go to Rumple, then, if he knew what to write?” and “why didn’t he do that in the first place”, and honestly, I have no idea, but there’s really nothing in the text that suggests Rumple made up anything about that universe. (I also have a hard time picturing him dictating all of that stuff to Isaac while pretty much gasping his last on the pawn shop floor, but that’s another matter...)

I, for my part, intend to forget about the wedding myself as soon as humanly possible. Seems like the best way to deal with it, really.

There are tons — TONS — of Metas on Rumple not...

Yeah, I already noticed that people seem to have similar thoughts to mine on the topic. I mean, yay for character nuance, but also that poor sod. Someone convince him to do some sessions with Archie.

On the Dark One thing... ::sigh:: I’m really, really unhappy with that, to be honest. Because the way it was portrayed until now, it seemed like the curse gave it’s bearer’s own dark impulses a louder “voice”, if you like, while also screwing over their moral compass, which made them do things they would have considered unthinkable before. Sure, the actual difference between this and de-facto demonic posession isn’t that big, but it’s a very different thematic angle and I’m just so very tired of the “the devil made me do it” plotline. Don’t get me wrong, that can still be an interesting story, I just thought I was being told a different one.

As for that last comment... she’s in there, actually. By name, even. I just didn’t linger on that part of the plot for long, because frankly, I’m still watching this show to have fun and everything about this plotline is Not Fun and not even in a good and thoughtful way. It’s just a mess and it makes you feel slightly icky if you think about it for too long.

  “dark hollow” impressions

Did you notice Ariel just taking shit from the pawn shop and pocketing it? Cause that was hilarious.

I absolutely did and yes, it was *g*

Though I think if she’s saving his life, Rumple is willing to part with the odd corkscrew or three.

(I also noticed that the stuff Rumple and Lacey were drinking was still on the table. Open. The poor alcohol...)

The bottom line with the Hook/Rumple crap:Look how...

Yes, I realise that, but why did they have to do it so badly? I mean, I’m not happy with this direction of the plot either way, but at least they could have given Rumple believable motivation. Or dialogue that actually sounds like him. You know, writer stuff.

Honestly, I don’t pay much attention to the colour of the magical hearts (or any of the props, really) unless they’re shown in “look at this!”-closeup. Well, except for that lamp. That one still terrifies me.

Yeah, that door ticked me off, too, as you may have gathered. And really, in this episode, the “lack of time” excuse absolutely does not fly. They could totally have put some effort into that one. (Though at least you can argue that Mickey was actively avoiding the Dark One, so it makes some sense that this form of travel wasn’t available.)
