I was over on TV Tropes and looked up "Creator's Pet."

Also, if you have a slanted view of irredeemable (what evil deeds are we talking about? Dying to save the town? Not snuffing out characters like so many candles when they threatened his wife?). But, that's beside the point. The point is that I realized one of the big reasons I may not always follow the non-fans' complaints. To me, it's perfectly clear that what matters most to Rumple (in order) is: 1. The safety/well-being of the people he loves. 2. His relationship with the people he loves. 3. Being able to protect the people he loves. 4. Not being tortured, abused, etc. and being able to protect himself. By that criteria, Rumple has paid and paid and paid. His son is dead. His grandson's view of him has been so twisted, he was willing to trap his stepgrandmother and uncle/aunt in a permanent coma (with nightmare torture) to stop him from removing the curse. His wife is still in a coma. His wife may reject him when she gets out of the coma. He has crystal clear evidence that he can be kidnapped, tortured, and threatened with death--and that the people he cares about can be kidnapped, tortured, and threatened with death--and no one will lift a finger to help him. But, he has power. Or he does until the next time someone gets hold of the dagger, at which point, its tea and apocalypses all around. From my POV, he's done nothing but pay. But, if I believed Rumple's only goal was to get more power and be in one piece at the end of the day, yeah, he hasn't done too badly. Not sure what's a good summary line. It's an earthshaking distance in how Rumple's character is viewed. It's like watching King Lear and assuming it's all about a guy who's glad to get away from family and go camping on the moors. But, once you make that leap, I can see how you'd think he's living the dream. |

I think Hook fits that trope more than Rumple but no matter. I did read the article Kelanie and it mentioned another character who was the creator's pet, Daniel Jonas from Days and like Hook, he fits the definition. Regina does as well.
I am sorry I have been absent. I have been on the couples fandom a few times. I am just not looking forward to this season. I am tired of the angst and the injustice that goes on on this show especially where Rumple is concerned. There are shows I am counting the days to return and this isn't it and that is sad because it used to be just the opposite. I do have some hope for Rumple and I do still love some of the characters even though I may be angry at some of them. I am still a diehard dearie and I always will be. I go back and forth on Belle, loving her and not loving the way she is written same with Rumple. I love them both but I wish Belle would keep Red, Granny, and Leroy as friends and not hang out with the rest. Did you guys do the gif contest? I am sorry I missed it but I am still torn between baby Rumple and Goldstiltskin! I love them all! Anyway, I have been reading a lot of fanfic and I wanted to recommend this one since it involves everyone especially Emma and Rumple. It is a canon au where Emma saves Rumple from the witch and they go to the town where Pete's dragon takes place. They eventually come back to SB to face the witch and Rumple not only develops a friendship with Emma but teaches her magic. Emma is strong in this one and has the same sense of right and wrong that she had pre season 3. Here is the link! https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1197301...oddy-Impromptu I am going to dvr the show and watch it later or do a marathon. I haven't decided yet. I will definitely see you guys back here after the premier! here are a couple articles I found that I thought you might be interested in! http://thebestpoll.com/the-most-hand...he-world-2016/ Robert Carlyle is on the 3rd page! https://voiceoftv.com/post/voice-of-...unders-of-2015 Number 5 is criticizing Zelena and the Dark Swan arc based on fan reactions! they are spot on! __________________

Yeah, it's not the best pic.. And it's from when they were filming the first season, so it's not even recent. Interesting choice indeed..
