#ouat 5x16

"You wanted me to be a better man, and you've done that. But if you want me to be a different man, I'm sorry. This is who I am." He's actually right about that and Belle should've accepted it way sooner. I wish they had spoken about this more when Rumple did get his redemption. "You weren't always" // "yes I was. Even when I was a coward I craved power." Number one I do not like calling him a coward bc its not true. But yes of course a man with no power or authority who had been beaten around by everyone in his life would crave power. That's normal. The difference isn't that now he has it, it's that he's addicted to it. And addiction does not make him a bad person. "I won't let it go. Not again." THATS the overkill addiction talking now. He didn't have to make himself the dark one again to have the kind of agency in his life that he needs. He needed magic to get the power he's addicted to. Saying he won't let it go, no one's asking him to be the village coward again, but he equates that to not having his magic which is what he needed to get over. "Falling in love with the man behind the beast isn't really what happened to you. You fell in love with me because there was a man and a beast. Neither exists without the other." BARS!!! absolutely correct. Because no one is all good or all bad. And the man was always fed by the beast with the craving power OVER others and needing to prove himself as Better. The beast was fed by the man by always convincing himself that everything he did was necessary. The truly Bad part of him is the part that enjoyed seeing other people in pain/suffering because of him, but again that comes from how he was always treated by other people. But he didn't admit to liking it all the time, he didn't always lean into it, and he NEVER killed someone just for fun. (Maybe if you strip the layers back, he did, but that's not how he thought about it.) He always rationalized. He kills people because they did X to deserve it, because it's necessary for the plan to get Bae back, etc. Just a few episodes before he said he didn't enjoy killing Milah (the second time) and he would never do anything like that again. He meant that.

He is both. He was always both. He always stayed both. Belle always loved both. His redemption didn't change him at his core. He had to reject his addiction to all consuming power and realize he couldn't have everything and he shouldn't expect to have everything or for everything to go his way. But he had the power he really needed, and he realized the difference. He doesn't have to hurt people to have power. He has the power to make his own choices to not be like his father and to work to deserve Belle's love and to accept her love without being told he wasn't good enough.

#idk where i was going with this #i just have a lot of jumbled thoughts about this part of rumple/rumbelle #and that scene is a catalyst for a lot of it #and its really hard to articulate #once upon a time #ouat #ouat 5x16 #rumbelle #rumplestiltskin #belle french #belle gold

"Why would you steal a baby?!"

... Girl do you know who you married? That's Rumplestiltskin. The man whose original fairytale is literally about taking someone else's baby.

Once Upon A Time Rewatch: Links to My Recaps

So, I finished 3 year long rewatch of ouat & ouatiw a few weeks ago and I thought I’d post links to my live reaction posts of each episode. If anyone’s interested in anything specific you can find it here. It’s also just to have them all in one place. I would love to see your comments about the episodes or in regards to any questions I raised, or anything really if you would like to add anything! I’d love to talk Ouat with you!
