anytime Belle or Regina get mad at Rumple they hide pictures of Rumplestiltskin from shrek around the shop for him to find with little notes that say things like "took a picture of you yesterday xoxo"
Watching that scene where Peter Pan, this teenager looking creature, tell Rumplestiltskin that his lady back home 'looks fertile' and that he should just go home and make a 'new child', after finding out that he's actually Rumplestiltskins father is so funny XDD
If I had a nickel for every time I fell in love with a ship that consisted of a grumpy old man who's angry at the world and hates everything and deems himself unworthy of love due to his past mistakes and a younger woman who sees the good in him and loves him as easily as breathing but still isn't afraid to put him in his place I'd have two (2) nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice right
This moment literally made me go "!!!!!" And pause the episode, because - that's a me-phrase. I say that. I used to complain about characters claiming not to have a choice a lot.
And the first time i watched ouat i was, like, ten.
So that's where I must have gotten it from, right???
I can't believe fuckin' Rumplestiltskin from fuckin' Once Upon a Time had this much of an impact on me
(but also i can totally believe it, pretty sure i copied his whole Dark One demeanor for, like, a solid year and a half.)
honestly it’s so frustrating trying to figure out how old pan actually was. my current guess is roughly 250 bc hook once said that he was in neverland for about 200 years and rumple was probably a little over 50 when he killed milah and hook decided to go to neverland and yeah idk. almost feels like too short of a timespan but idk idk. to an extent, any guesses like that are irrelevant because ✨time doesn’t pass in neverland✨ except it kinda does??? like what does it even mean for time jot to pass except for that not aging thing???
like it makes so little sense actually. because the dreamshade poison was able to travel through david’s body, so it’s obviously not completely static in terms of bodily functions and metabolism. but also that cut devin got from henry never healed like at all as far as we saw in the show, so it’s obviously not on the same level as in other realms.
so like my theory is that some type of time has to exist in neverland, otherwise everything would’ve had to have been more static, but the time in neverland is slower or at least seems slower than normal time.
another example for this is imo when wendy spent that one night in neverland the first time and was surprised that she had only been gone for a day bc she thought it was longer.
another question i have here is how old rumple is by the time the neverland arc happens bc he was never really in a situation where time was altered after his first time being on neverland and being in storybrooke (although that’s debatable bc time did still pass there but more in a soft groundhog’s day kinda way and again without aging and everything). bc if we figured out rumple’s age we could also figure out hook’s, baelfire’s, and pan’s ages with at least rough but grounded estimates.
Alright so I talk (or at least reblog) a lot of Rumbelle stuff but as some of you may or may not know, that is not my only Rumple ship.
One rare-ish pare that has managed to burrow its way into my heart and make me mourn the fact that there just is not any fucking content for them is MadGold.
I don’t think I talk about MadGold enough on here, so… here I put my headcannons about them down on a template! Feel free to debate me on things or share your own opinions!
Gonna start referring to the general populous as “dearies” because “my dears” sounds creepy and I’ve been watching too much of that Once Upon a Time show from 2013.
i actually think ouat rumplestiltskin would've been a better character if a. they had made it very clear that he was queer and b. also made it clear that despite liking all genders no one wanted to fuck him
