Chipped Cup
Like most Rumbellers, I fell in love with
Rumbelle from Skin Deep. However, I
hadn’t originally planned to love them.
Beauty and the Beast was always, and
still is, my favorite Disney movie, and I
was sure Rumplestiltskin as the Beast
was going to ruin the whole thing. Boy,
I was wrong. There seems to be something
much deeper and real about this version.
The boundary between belle and Rumple
was more than his physical appearance;
he had some serious problems! But despite
that and despite his vow to never love again,
she was able to get past his walls and love
him when everything seemed to say it was
a bad decision. My favorite moment is also
the saddest-when he put the chipped cup
on the pedestal, crying.

Reasons Why I love This Ship
1. Can’t resist the age old story of Beauty &
the Beast
2. Because Rumple is just awesome and
Belle is brave.
3. Because Gold is an attorney and so am I
4. Because Belle was a feminist before her time.
5. Because even after Rumple threw her out,
Belle was still loyal to him. For instance
in the scene with Dreamy/Grumpy.
6. Because even though they seem like
polar opposites, they really have a lot of
the same values, not the least of which:
family is number one and willingness to
sacrifice for ones’ loved ones.
7. Because they are both such great
multi-dimensional characters.
8. Because even though she’s beautiful,
Belle truly believes love is layered and not
just about physical looks.
9. Because they both have cute giggles.
10. Because they are each others one
and only true loves.

Redemption
Never in my life have I ever shipped a fictional
pairing like I have with Belle and Rumpelstiltskin.
Their story has touched me like none other.
The romance, the tragedy, the sense of
forgiveness and redemption pulsates through
their entire story and is the beating heart of
the pairing. Out of all the love stories featured
on the show, this love story demonstrates that
love is powerful enough to survive even death.
Worlds, realms and magic cannot tear these
two apart.
The Looking Glass-

Chance and Fate
What makes their love never dies? My answer is chance
and fate. By chance, Rumple brought her into his life
when he was just looking for a highborn maid; by fate,
Belle always found her way back to his arms when he
thought she was gone.
Their love passes the test of time, infiltrates in their
souls and seizes full control, of which the depth is
what I've never seen on any soapy operas and
teen dramas. Given to the harsh circumstance
of their separation in the finale, their relationship
is at stake, but I wish it could endure, remain
and continue.

Love's Unique Abilities
Love has this unique and amazing ability
to strip away all our pretenses and show
us beauty where we couldn't see it. It is
not bound by the aesthetics of a world
shackled by glamour. Love is, perhaps,
the only emotion that can both raise you
to unimaginable heights of joy and fill you
with terror. It is proof that anything is
possible. Even a beauty, loving a beast.

Two Flames
To me, Belle and Rumpel are like two
flames.Two flames that had their beginnings
on separate ends of the universe, and yet,
managed to cross each other’s path in
one brief moment of ecstasy. Soul mates.
And even though they were mercilessly
separated, like all soul mates, the found
their way back into each other’s arms.
Sweet Charity-

Undeniable
Because their chemistry is undeniable,
their love for each other, insatiable.
Because even though he was awful to
her at times, she saw past his beastly
personality, and could see the man he
so desperately wanted to be. I honestly
believe she's the only one who can, and
will eventually, break his dark spell.

Essence
Rumbelle is the essence of true love.
True love is complicated, but worth it when you
overcome the trials, and boy have they had trials.
Despite the hardships, neither will give up on the
other! They both feel that what they have is worth
fighting for. If they weren't true love, Gold would
have given up, and Belle would have given up.
These trials will only strengthen their love, and I
will be there watching their journey till the end!

Infinite Love
He’s doesn’t see good in himself, he's the Dark One.
He doesn’t believe himself capable after 300 years of
darkness,
emptiness, and loneliness, and being cursed
to be good.
He gives people the showman, the beast,
and then along comes Belle.
She saw him hesitate, and embraced that.
She took a hold of that moment in the forest and
lit it again.
She wasn’t going to let that small ember of a loving
person inside him vanquish into the darkness.
She saw what the curse was doing but instead focused
on the
better nature inside. And it worked. Rumplestiltskin’s
dealings with others changed and he was not as
horrible as before.
Love grew out of a tentative friendship. Slowly, uncertain,
but it was there. She brought out the good hearted man
that needed to get to his son, and he in return gave her
a man that saw her as equal. Let her make her own
choices,
valued her as more than a trophy.
They are the infinite True Love couple.

Love That Transcends

When I think about Rumbelle,
I think about undying, everlasting love, a
love that transcends time and place.
It's something powerful, so powerful that
I actually feel it.
Emilie and Bobby's off-the-charts
chemistry, we wouldn't be talking
about a phenomenon
- just another well-written story.
You can't explain chemistry
- it either does or doesn't exist - and in this case,
it exists to a remarkable degree.
I've never seen anything like it,
to be honest.
They make you believe in their love -
it's absolutely and
exquisitely real as they portray it. Whether their
characters are flirting, talking seriously, kissing
or even yelling,
that chemistry just pours out of the tv screen.
What makes it all the sweeter is that they
obviously get along very welloff-screen.....
I think that does make a difference.

Beautiful and Inspiring
I have loved Rumbelle from the moment he caught her
or as we call it the "Curtain catch." Their chemistry was
just so palpable right there and then. Her love saves him,
gives him the strength and inspiration to fight the
darkness inside himself to become a better man.
Because of this he gives her honesty and the purest
of feeling he has ever felt for anybody. As much as
her love saves him, his love saves her too.
He's the only who's ever truly valued her as a woman
not just as some little simpering princess. He realized
there was something really special and different about
her from the moment they met or it could have been
the moment she chipped his cup and apologized for it.
Falling in love with her, was unexpected to him as he
was so guarded but in the end he couldn't help but
love her, she made it almost impossible for him
NOT to love her.
They might be opposites but they also complete one
another: she saves him and he frees her. They are truly
the epitome of true love in its purest and simplest form.
They make me long for a chance to have a true love
like theirs someday. They have rapidly become my
second OTP because they are just so beautiful and
inspiring.

Stronger Couple
While at first I was not sure what I would think of them.
But then Skin Deep aired and
I fell in love with them very quickly.
And since then my love for them has only grown.
I love how they care and trusted about each other.
While they have troubles at time I am not worried
because I am sure that will make out together and
becoming a stronger couple than they were before.
I am so very happy that we have reached 100 threads
though I am not shocked because of how brilliant the
poster on this thread are.
