Rumple

Posted on by

OTP: Rumbelle of course, kinda goes without saying šŸ™‚

BrOTP:Ā Probably not a popular answer but got to be honest – Regina. I love those two working together.

OT3:Ā Donā€™t have one. Well not unless either Rumple or Belle split themselves, or their counterparts from an alternate reality come to town. I could see Belle/Rumple/Lacey, or Gold/Belle/Dark One!Rumple or you know any variation thereof because itā€™s still Rumbelle at the end of the day.

NoTP:Ā Anyone but Belle to be honest but especially GoldenQueen. I love Rumple and Regina working together as frenemies, family though Henry, former mentor and student etc. but romance just no, no, wrong, very wrong.

Belle, anyelle edition too :p

Posted on by

Awww I love you! Thank you for blowing up my inbox šŸ™‚ For anyelle I can only go off the 14 things Iā€™ve seen. That being said:

OTP: Rumbelle of course, but this is the anyelle edition šŸ™‚ So out of all the anyelle possibilities I would say Rushbelle.

BrOTP:Ā Belle and Barney. I just canā€™t ship her with him but I think with a lot of exasperation Belle could probably straighten him out.

OT3:Ā Rush/Belle/Gold although I donā€™t think Lachlan would object to an OT4 šŸ™‚

NoTP: Well obviously Hitler or Sergei as they are too evil and donā€™t get a Belle but as they kinda go without saying, Iā€™m going to go with Renard.

What MCU pairing do you want to rumbelle? :D

Posted on by

Well the pairing I had in my head was Tony Stark and Pepper Potts.

Tony is brilliant, the best at what he does, just like Rumple. Tony is dependant upon his tech, his suits, like Rumple depends on his magic. They are both the richest men in town. Tony struggles with the shrapnel injury and needs the arc reactor. Rumple struggles with his limp which his magic heals.

There are other similarities too like they both have trouble letting go of guilt, their responsibilities weigh heavily on them – ā€œI have to protect the one thing I canā€™t live without.ā€ and they both have self-destructive tendencies. Obviously there are many differences as well but I can see Rumple in Tony. The bitter sarcasm, the mask to keep people at a distance etc.

Pepper runs the company, she is brilliant and formidable in her own right and sheā€™s not afraid to call Tony out on his shit. Sound familiar? When I think of Pepper trying to get Tony to eat and sleep when heā€™s been pulling all-nighters I think to myself ā€œI bet Belle had to do that at the Dark Castle.ā€ Pepper was never just an assistant, she was always Tonyā€™s partner because she balances him – they are equals. Itā€™s the same with Rumbelle.

So yeah if I was going to do an MCU AU I would make Rumple Iron Man heh šŸ™‚

Another Second Chance!Belle — How did you know how to make a sleeping potion? Did Rumple teach you, or did you learn from a book? Were you afraid to do it? Afraid you might never wake up?

Rumple never taught me the sleeping curse specifically but I had helped him with various potions before, so I knew my way around his workroom and what books to look in for the instructions.

Truthfully I was more afraid not to do it. Something had obviously gone dreadfully wrong and I had no idea how long I would be trapped in the Dark Castle alone. Rumple blames himself for that but it wasnā€™t his fault, we both agreed to the stronger wards. I was afraid of the isolation, I was afraid if I didnā€™t find a way to ā€œstop timeā€ then I wouldnā€™t be around when Rumple returned.

The one thing I wasnā€™t afraid of was never waking up. I knew that one day Rumple would return, and I knew that he would wake me. It could have been a thousand years but I knew it would happen because Rumple can only be killed by the dagger. He was always going to return one day.

*laughs* or were you really asking whether I doubted our true love? No I never doubted that, I could never doubt that.

Little Insurance!Rumple, why doesn’t Belle’s kiss break your curse? You can feel the magic of her true love, so it’s not a lack of that, is it because you’re choosing to stay cursed? If you are, why? Will you ever let Belle break your curse?

Well dearie itā€™s our kiss, our true love and itā€™s not a decision either of us would make alone. Itā€™s not about letting Belle break my curse, why that makes me sound like the beast that needs to be vanquished! True love means true acceptance dearie, and there would be no possibility of true loves kiss if Belle didnā€™t love all of me, just as I love every part of her.

Our true loves kiss doesnā€™t break the curse because neither of us wish it. At first I needed my powers to find Bae, and then after he was found Belle and I discussed it. Weā€™d been together for over ten years at that point, we were happy – we still are, and so there seemed little point. I have many enemies, and they wouldnā€™t stop just because I was rendered powerless.

I have had a number of desperate souls beg me for immortality, I wonder whether they have any idea of what a curse it would become.

My curse will break one day because I have no wish to live without Belle, and neither of us have any wish to outlive our children. Belle will age naturally and when the time comes, our true love will break the curse of the Dark One.

Another Second Chance!Belle, how long was Rumple gone before you knew something was wrong and you decided to put yourself under a sleeping curse?

Two months.

Rumple had gone away for deals before but the longest had been three weeks, and it was only that long because something had gone wrong. He came home then half-naked, soaking wet and very grumpy. This time, after a week I had a bad feeling, after two weeks it turned into a sinking feeling. By the time it had been three weeks I knew, I knew but there was nothing I could do.

I waited two months, spending far too much time staring out of the castle windows, hoping against hope to see him appear in a cloud of magic. It was obvious that whatever was keeping him was blocking his powers, he would never have left me otherwise, not for that long. It was also obvious that there was no easy way out for him, it had been two months which meant it could wind up being forever. The sleeping curse was the only choice I had.

Writing/Reading Ask Meme: 2: Which author has influenced you the most?

Posted on by

Tough question. I feel like a fraud as a writer for a lot of reasons. One of them is that I never had a ā€˜lightbulbā€™ moment, where I was inspired by another writer and I just knew I wanted to write. Iā€™ve enjoyed reading hundreds of books, and there are some authors I like more than others, but I canā€™t point to any author specifically as an influence. Iā€™ve never wanted to emulate any authors style, or had a ā€œbooks I wish I wroteā€ moment. Like I said I feel a bit like a fraud because of it.

However, and there is a however to this answer. There is one author who I would say has influenced me but not really because they were an author. Holly Lisle is an author, and has lived my dream and made a living from her writing, but it wasnā€™t her books that influenced me, it was her courses. Sheā€™s offered a number of online writing courses and ā€˜How to Revise your Novelā€™ is the single most useful writing ā€˜lessonā€™ Iā€™ve ever taken.

It gave me the tools to be able to analyze my own work, so that I could (hopefully) work out what was wrong with it. I canā€™t tell you how much confidence that gave me. I guess I felt more in control of the process which was something I sorely needed. I still wouldnā€™t call myself a good writer but I can see how much I improved from this. I wrote this book, itā€™ll probably never see the light of day, but I must have redrafted it, and then ripped it to pieces, half a dozen times or more. That taught me so much and I would never have been able to do it without Holly Lisle giving me the starting point.

Crossover Meme: OUAT/SGU

Posted on by

Wow that was instant. Thank you! *happy dance*

A crossover ship Iā€™d dig: Well the obvious answer is Rushbelle. Except in a crossover Rumple would still be around, in which case no way because true love! Rumple and Belle just belong together. Hmm Iā€™m actually giving this serious thought. The problem is so many people are already paired up. Alright, I think actually Iā€™d go for Regina and Varro because Varro is like a cross between Robin and Graham, so I can see how that would work.

A crossover BroTP Iā€™d dig: Has to be David and Lt. Scott I think, they are very much cut from the same cloth. Although I think TJ and Snow would get on well. Eli and Henry would definitely be friends. I think if Belle made friends with anyone on Destiny, I would hope it would be Volker. Heā€™s a good guy.

A crossover Frenemies I think would be inevitable: Rush and Rumple. They are far too similar to be friends but I think they would sometimes work together, sometimes against one another, depending on whether they wanted something that was mutually beneficial or not.

A crossover badass duo I think would be inevitable: The humorous answer would be pairing Brody with Hook because Brody was the maker of alcohol on Destiny, and we know how Hook loves his rum. I doubt anybodyā€™s liver would survive. However, the serious answer, well Greer was the best fighter on Destiny, itā€™s hard to pick the best fighter among the Once crew and Greer has serious trust issues. I would say in a fight, pair Greer with one of the magic wielders (Rumple, Zelena or Regina) and no enemy would survive.

A crossover animosity I think would be inevitable: Rush and everybody? No, not a good answer. Greer and everybody? No, alright Iā€™ll try and be serious. I think Camille and Regina would snipe a lot to be honest. Camille was never the leader she should have been, she was rather ineffectual to be honest and I always hoped for better from her. I think Camille would probably bluster and try and take charge, and then Regina would just do it effortlessly because she was the Queen and Regina would do her sarcasm thing, and Camille would be offended, and then it would degenerate from there.

This was actually a harder thought experiment than I thought it would be, but definitely interesting! Thank you very much šŸ™‚

The Price We Pay!Rumpelstiltskin – Is there any reason you’d consider telling Belle of your feelings for her?

Posted on by

(OOC I need somebody to gif Operation Mongoose. I can only find the Rumbelle kiss from their interactions together)

What good could come of ever admitting how I feel? We can never be together and acknowledging the truth will only lead to heartbreak. I suppose if Belle were to confess to feeling feelings, then I would of course not let her believe that she was alone in that. However, I canā€™t imagine that Belle would ever admit such a thing, or indeed feel any such feelings.
