I really love Belle and I really love Rumple. I also love Rumbelle. I usually don't care much about ships, but I really shipped them in the early episodes. "Skin Deep" remains my favorite of the series, their reunion in the first season finale is a favorite scene, and they had cute and tragic moments all throughout the second and third season. Since the dagger swapping incident, that ship has been extremely butchered though. Very much so. They have really been ruined as a couple. I still love them though; I love their shared scenes, whether they're good or not. I don't like how they've been handled, but I do like them, and I also want them to be together. I acknowledge how poorly handled it all is, and I don't even like wanting them together. It's complicated, really. I don't want them together, but I do.
