Rumble and Belle. I call bullshit on this one. I know there are some Rumbelle shippers out there (well, I guess that ship has sailed) but there are no real parallels here (other than the fact that they denied their feelings at first) and there is NO way this is TL. Rumble chose his desire for revenge over his love for Belle. And Belle is so delusional, she can't see Rumble for who he really is. Far from TL, this is a dysfunctional relationship that's going to end badly. We'll see in 4A. The thing with Rumple and Belle is that it's complicated. A&E confirmed that Rumple's proposal was genuine, so he does love her. Belle is the only person who always sees the good in him, even if it's just a very small part. The way I see it, is that Belle is the one who has to keep Rumple on the right track. I know she'll be angry with him for killing Zelena, but I believe that in the end, she'll forgive him. That's just how Belle is (And Rumple too)
