🥃 what’s your biggest regret?
Rumple tightens his grip on his drink, staring down at the bar. He sighs, "Letting go of my son."

What's your favorite part/element of Rumple's story arc?
SHSKSHS HOW DO I NARROW IT DOWN??? THERES SO MANY ELEMENTS I LOVE. Okay I’m gonna put this as a few points here.
My top favourite element, the first thing I thought of, is his relentless battle with himself for goodness. He is half and half, half himself and half the dark one. And he’s been this way for centuries, so of course it’s an ongoing battle that’s not easy to drop. He continues to fight it, continues to try to be good, even when he has moments of weakness. He picks himself up again and continues. Whether it’s for Belle or Neal, he doesn’t stop trying to be good. Isn’t that so human of him? Rumple believes himself a coward, but it’s so brave to continue to try to be good when you have a dark curse latched to your soul and the world is seemingly saying “hey, goodness is impossible.”
Tumblr media
My second thought is how STRONG his capacity for love is. He takes the curse of the dark one for it. He battles against the curse because of it. When he becomes the dark one, one of the first things he does is end the ogres war and free all the children. He didn’t have to do that. Baelfire was not on that field, yet he did it anyway. He dies for love. He lives again for love. He continues to fight to keep his loved ones safe, even if that means he risks himself. He spends what, 300 years (?), living alone because of his love for Baelfire, because he’s so determined to find his son. And sure it causes some problems. He loses Belle because it’s either her or his magic, and his magic will lead him to Bae. He causes people to hurt because his capacity for love is so fucking strong, it’s never going to be a mild thing. It’s everything or nothing. He dies TWICE for love. And we can’t forget, before Rum became the dark one he gave what little he had to beggars and took care of his emotionally abusive wife, even when he could barely stand with aid. He crippled himself and ruined his reputation for love. His capacity for love fills him to the brim and I adore it.
Final point is: you mentioned his story arc, and he has many? It twists and turns a LOT. So far I’ve focused on elements but I think my favourite arc (and it’s HARD to pin down) is the bits with him and August in s1. And you might be thinking “Bella, that is a weird fucking choice” but hear me out. With August he faces what he’s feared for so long: that his son hates him enough to try and murder him. And he takes that wholeheartedly, actually goes to therapy for it, and approaches who he thinks is his son and delivers a heartbreakingly emotional speech. And even when he realises August isn’t Bae, after their little dispute, he reunites August with his father cause at the end of the day, Rumple is always going to be papa and he can’t stand to see lost children screaming out for their parents, whether that’s actually screaming out or a haunting look in their eyes. That moment of kindness? In the shop when he invites August in and Marco is there? He didn’t have to do that, but he did it anyway. Why? Because Rumple is a good man. He saw a lost child and it reminded him of his son, and isn’t that the point? Neal is his driving point. He is what makes Rumple good.
(Bonus arcs for your consideration: ALL of Skin Deep, the Neverland arc is hauntingly beautiful. And we get Goldstiltskin. Beauty in s7, oh- and that one moment where Rumple says to Emma “please, he’s my son” in s6 about Gideon. Heart wrenching. When he faces his mother and says the world is dangerous because of villains like her and himself- the tone in his voice and the look on his face!! I die inside. And finally, and this is more of a funny bit than a ‘deep’ bit, but that one scene in Underbrooke where he introduces Milah and Emma to each other always cracks me up.)
@martianbugsbunny thank you so much for the ask!! What are your fave elements in rumples story arcs?

I think you've reached terminal brainrot when you see two of your regular customers (unrelated to each other AFAIK and are rarely if ever in the store at the same time) at work interacting with each other and think "wow. crossover episode"

Falling for Darkness
Tumblr media
"Rumple, giving me gifts isn't going to make me less worried about telling my mother you know." I explained when he created a necklace into the palm of his hand with magic. He shakes his head when I turned around clipping it on. "I'm simply giving you this because I like seeing you smile, Y/n. It has nothing to do her majesty." The thing about my mother is she's really my adoptive mother. My younger brother Henry and I got brought to Storybrooke years ago. And somehow I ended up falling for the pawnshop owner Mr. Gold or as he was known in the Enchanted Forest Rumplestiltskin. The shop door suddenly opened and it slammed behind my mother where I gasped seeing she is angry. "Y/n, why are you spending your time with him so much."
Playing with the new necklace he had given me I walked up feeling nervous to tell her the truth. "Mom, I um - I'm dating Rumple..." She bugged her eyes out hearing my confusion. She crossed her arms over her chest whispering to me. "Sweetheart he's a snake you need to be careful who you get into bed with." Shaking my head I grabbed her hands wanting her to allow me to be in a relationship with him. "Mother, please. I know you lost your love but I trust him with my heart." Rumple slowly walks up resting his freehand on mu shoulder staring directly at my mother. "Regina I will take care of her I promise. She makes me a better man so I will do my best to treat her the right way."
"How do I know you're not lying just to rip her away from me and make her not love me anymore?" She scoffed stepping up where they barely have space between them. Rubbing my hand down my arm I hoped that the two powerful villans wouldn't start a fight with their magic. Because that would not end well for Storybrooke. "Fine...you can date her. But if you ever hurt her I will find your dagger and make you suffer." She teleports away in a cloud of purple smoke leaving us alone. Without thinking I fling my arms around his neck kissing him slowly. He cups my face in his freehand kissing me back. "See my dear you were worried for nothing. I love you Y/n." He mumbled into my hair when I lay my head on his chest. "I love you too Rumple."
Comments really appreciated ❤️

You are singlehandedly responsible for me being 16 eps deep into the Once Upon a Time marathon, despite me avoiding the show for all these years. Fuck you (affectionate bc I too can appreciate Rumple apparently)
🙈🙈🙈 I'd say sorry, but I feel so proud.
Just glad I'm not the only one so late to the party. I, too, avoided the show right up until this year when apparently Rumplestiltskin reached through the screen and demanded I watch every season right now or he won't give me my brain back!

I would like to know what happened with Dior and Helene before she died
For sure! So with Dior his background is basically just spoiled rotten French Prince. The Beast with no character development + a downward spiral into despotism.
But Hélène 's story is that she was a child from the Everrealm traded to Rumplestiltskin, one of those "I'll help you out of the dark woods you're lost in if you promise to give me the thing you have that you don't know you have" fairytales where it turns out the thing is a baby on the way. Oopsies.
She's kept as a servant by him in his castle, and she isn't treated horribly but she isnt really loved either. She's a tool in his arsenal to be used for later, whenever having a random beautiful girl on hand might be useful.
Tumblr media
I feel like there were a few times she played the fairytale role of "beautiful girl kept in the monster's castle that helps the hero steal the thing he needs o learn the secret he needs to learn to fulfill his quest" and she was swept off her feet each time thinking this time this prince/millar's son/theif would sweep her away to her Happily Ever After--but they never did.
So by the time Rumplestiltskin asks her if she'd like to be a queen for a man who'd prize her like a precious jewel she readily agreed, and took her place as Dior's wife. Realizing soon after that he'd only ever value her for her beauty and the fact that he could possess it.
By then she was convinced that True Love as talked about in stories didn't really exist, and was resigned to her life. Even when she chanced to meet a wandering Enchantress, this powerful being could not summon a up a True Love for her. (Though this was more due to Rumplestiltskin's magical bonds over her obscuring the Enchantress's magic then any true lack of potential for her to find one)
Her happiest moments were when she could spend time with her son, Adam. She often took him with her to their summer palace where they could be with the kind staff she'd chosen herself and away from the backstabbing gossiping court life her husband prefered.
Tumblr media
But unfortunately when Adam was 9 she fell ill from a sickness crossing the land and died, leaving him to fall under the sole care of his father, who eventually stuck him in the summer palace permanently until he could be old enough to be useful.
Due to his grief from his loss of his mother and rejection by his father Adam began to lash out at his caretakers, and to act more like his father in hopes this would meet his approval and he'd be taken back by the only parent he had left.
Unfortunately his worsening temper landed him afoul of a powerful Enchantress, who in her own grief over discovering the loss of her friend lashed out and cursed the young prince and all within his palace...
Also it wasn't intentional to have her be all dressed in gold and Belle having a gold dress, Hélène 's gold was meant to be reflective of her link to Rumplestiltskin and Dior, but I kinds really like the idea that Belle's ballgown once belonged to Hélène
Tumblr media
So yeah that's the backstory for the Beast's mother!
