You’ve got Rumplestiltskin - early, with the limp.
And you’ve got The Dark One - at that point he’s very dangerous.
And then you’ve got Rumple (I call him “Rumple”) after that - who’s so old that he’s sort of lost the bloodlust. He becomes more… he’s not funny, but he can see the humor in situations. He’s so old that he’s seen it all before.
I wanted to make Mr. Gold entirely different from the Rumplestitlskin we see at the beginning of the first season. To make him calm, very much in control. Whereas, on the other side you’ve got Rumplestiltskin, who is crazy, capable of anything. (x)
“He’s 300 years old. He’s met so many people over the years that he’s been impressed and unimpressed by, he’s taken on their voices, he’s taken on their accents and their mannerisms. He’s layered so much he’s lost himself.” Once Upon showrunners Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis point out that every time we meet Carlyle in fairy tale land he’s in a slightly different time period and so therefore Carlyle actually uses a to show this gradual layering effect.
And once again, I’m so sick of and disappointed in this fandom.
I swear lately there are more out right rude people in the tags than there are good.
Here’s some tips for you all:
- Nothing good will come from tagging your hate. All you’re going to do is upset others. There is only one reason you’d tag your hate and specifically insult fans of certain characters, and that’s to be a troll. Find something else to do with your time.
- We all need to sit down and understand that everyone has an opinion. I’ve never been involved in a fandom that is this ridiculous with shipping. People see things differently. One ship that might be revolting and unrealistic to you might be someone else’s heart and soul. Get over it.
- As well as the fans having different opinions, the actors/writers do as well. They have all been nothing but gracious and loving towards the fans, and so many of you jump down their throats for every little thing they say that doesn’t agree with you.
- Understand that there is a difference between healthy debate and insulting another person’s opinion. You can talk about the show and debate over it without being plain mean and putting down others. Something that you might not care about might be something that another person takes very personally.
Just be thankful for the show and the characters. Obviously, if we can all get this heated and frustrated over it, we care deeply. Just be happy that you have the show, be happy that it’ll be on again this weekend, be happy with whatever ship floats your boat, and leave others alone.
For Once Upon a Time, how long did it take you to learn the sword fighting?
OKAY THIS IS GETTING SERIOUS NOW
