Description Belle (c) D!sney/ABC

This is Emilie de Ravin's version of Belle. I'd honestly forgotten about this (considering how I wasn't too pleased with how it turned out), but oh well, might as well upload it. lol

Why do you keep saying you're not pleased with how your artwork turned out???? You're just hard on yourself! Shut up! It's beautiful and you're talented!!!!


Annnnnd... because I made a deal way back then and you did not turn your back on Rumbelle (this lovely picture is proof of it)... I shall to do a Emma/Gold Picture! I'm inspired enough to attempt it... just let work quiet down... and let me get past this wedding weekend.

I don't know, I've always been my worst critic... Don't kill me! But thank you! haha

Is it? I don't consider artwork of just Belle or just Rumpel Rumbelle, but yay, I can't wait to see it! Ick, it's a major wedding season, so I don't blame you. I went to two weddings in a row back in March, and by the end of it I wanted to sleep for the rest of the week. LoL

I would consider this one Rumbelle. She's holding the Rose that he gave her... smirking at HIM. I know which moment in the scene this is.

So a deal is a deal. I'm curious as to whether I can even draw Emma in my style. I'm unsatisfied with how my Belle looks, but have found a Rumple in my style that I don't completely loathe. lol

BLOOD-and-LUST-87 In reply to Lagger2 [2012-04-26 07:07:33 +0000 UTC]

Ah, well true...I didn't even think of it that way. I still wish she knew she was holding Gaston in her hand, 'cause I'm sure that would give way to an amusing scene.

Yay! The great thing about this fandom is we all honor our deals. I saw one of your pics, and I thought it was lovely. Belle looked good, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. But I know the feeling...I can never, EVER get Rumple the way I want! *shakes fist* Emma's relatively easy for me, though. I hope she eventually gets to be in FTL, 'cause I'd like to see how they dress her... Probably in leather like Charming, LOL! Although for some reason, I picture her looking like Rapunzel from Tangled. *random tangent is random*

I've been designing a FTL Emma... *grin*... and I am quite pleased with it. She'd be an action princess... but "swan" implies graceful, so I've incorporated some feminine touches as well. I may or may not write out a scene between the two of them... and while it wont be about them feeling passionate about each other... they are totally having a moment... which could later bloom from admiration to attraction. (its much more hotter in my head then it sounds... I'm in conflict with my raging Rumble side telling me to flee from the ponderings of Golden Swan.)

Oh I can't wait for you to see it!

BTW... "The Stranger", in no way shape or form, had NEARLY enough Rumple/Gold goodness in it! *pouts* Is this seriously how it's gonna be? Every six episodes we get a Rumple-centric storyline and then Staaaaaaarve for more scenes of him???? I... I just... MY HEART!!!! *collapses*

BLOOD-and-LUST-87 In reply to Lagger2 [2012-05-02 18:11:17 +0000 UTC]

Yay, sounds awesome! I agree, I'd see her absolutely REFUSING to wear the dresses Snow would give her, so then Snow would give up and sneak in some feminine touches to at least SORT of get her way. lol That's ok, I don't usually appreciate scenes where they both are in love from the get-go anyway, since it doesn't seem "right." They're both stubborn, so there'd definitely be a fight on the attraction front. Like, "Eww, no way in HELL," and then later, "Oh...I guess he's not a TOTAL ass." :') lol I wanted that sort of relationship with Rumbelle, but didn't get it.

Really? I thought it was really good! Probably one of my favorite episodes. We at least had bits of Gold in the past two episodes, unlike after Skin Deep when there was NONE of him. RAAYYYYGE. lol

Naaaaaw. I'd have to say "The Return" is my new favorite. Robert conveying soooo many feels! Oh, how I love that wonderful man...

I chronically loathe any shape or form of Pinocchio...so I hated that there was an entire episode about him. But I do love the actor they chose as Pino's father. It wasn't a horrible episode... I just hate that fairytale. Many shades of weird.

BLOOD-and-LUST-87 In reply to Lagger2 [2012-05-02 23:22:04 +0000 UTC]

Haha, oh yes. The "many feels" was epic, although I thought that was a total dick move on August's part. *slaps him* He KNOWS what it's like to be estranged from your father, so what the dealio?

Ew, I hate that fairy tale, too. I thought Pinocchio as a kid was cute (he looked nothing like August o-O), and I agree that the actor for Gepetto was great. I was more interested in the Storybrooke timeline, 'cause the FTL part was a bit dull.

ForeverACharmedOne In reply to BLOOD-and-LUST-87 [2012-04-24 03:52:19 +0000 UTC]

Agreed. I'm such a bookworm. When I was in middle school/junior high my school librarian used to tease me and remind me not to read my book while I was walking because I'd run into a pillar. That only happened two times! Sheesh. LOL.

Yeah...one of the things about OUAT!Belle that tick me off so much is that they completely ignored her love of reading. How do you DO THAT to BELLE?! Aurgh.

LOL!!! I've run into pillars WITHOUT the aid of books, so don't feel bad. I've done something similar though, haha.

Exactlyyy. T___T And the fact she seemed to love changing Rumpel opposed to loving him for the psycho, demonic little bastard he is. LoL

lol I've done that too. You saw nothing. lol. I just hate that nowadays I have so little time to read for fun.

Yeah she never even saw him as a demon psycho. He was so nice the whole time. I know Rumple can be nice when he wants but THE WHOLE TIME? BEFORE he fell for her? Not buying it. Even Bae saw the demon side. I shudder to say it, but it's almost like OUAT tried to Harley-ify Belle.

xDDD Haha, that's actually a good description... I realized that Belle's like a Mary Sue in OUAT, which is probably why I didn't like her all that much. :/ I liked aspects of her, but she was just.....flat. And I agree! That's EXACTLY what bugged me about the couple. You can't just be all happy and cute the entire time!

ForeverACharmedOne In reply to BLOOD-and-LUST-87 [2012-04-24 20:21:44 +0000 UTC]

Yeah...unfortunately agreed. It's like they took the "Belle" stereotype from what it known as the Beauty&the Beast-type romance and threw it in, rather than do justice to the ACTUAL Belle from the ORIGINAL story. I kept waiting for the book-loving spitfire I know and love and I got a giggly cardboard cutout masquerading as Belle.

I KNOW!! There is more to Belle than just being the Beauty who fell in love with a Beast. Sheesh. And it still irks me a little that they made her born a princess. Maybe if they'd done Belle right I wouldn't mind but because she's all messed up I get to be picky over everything. lol.

BLOOD-and-LUST-87 In reply to ForeverACharmedOne [2012-04-25 19:19:21 +0000 UTC]

LOL!! No, trust me, that irked me as well... Belle was better able to understand beauty because of the way she was brought up. How can a princess be expected to be a maid? A woman of privilege doesn't cook and clean! I liked the idea someone else had FAR better, which was Belle called on Rumpelstiltskin to help since her father was sick/needed a cure.

Exactly!! And if they wanted to make her royal, they could have had humor or something with the class difference and her messing up and struggling. Oh, are you talking about the fanfic "Not Your Usual Lion"? If so, I LOVE that fanfic. And it came out long before OUAT announced Belle/Rumple, too.

Hahaha no biggie. Yeah, "Not your Usual Lion" was actually one of the first Rumple fics on ff.net. It's because of that fic I liked RumpleBelle but then OUAT ruined it. lol. So only on the fanonverse of NYUL will I like that pairing. Because all characters are written right. lol. That is funny though that it was on the kink meme hahaha. It actually makes SENSE so take that OUAT writers! lol.

ForeverACharmedOne In reply to BLOOD-and-LUST-87 [2012-04-26 20:11:19 +0000 UTC]

I mean I don't blame Disney for Snow White and her Nameless Prince being sorta blah. It was 1937, their first feature film, art and drawing each frame of the film was new, etc. The film itself is a good old fashioned film that is dear to my Disney nerd heart because it was The One That Started It All (lol). Plus the dwarfs are awesome and the animals humorous and adorable. But OUAT!Snow has been pretty awesome most of the time. My fav episode with her is definitely Snow Falls. Anyways, I don't know how they screwed up Belle. I really don't.

No I didn't! O_O

Same here! And I know...it doesn't make any sense. Maybe they were trying to make her different and just...failed? lol Cuz they made Snow different and succeeded, but I think that's cuz they pretty much had a clean slate to work with.

And yep. :/ Apparently someone's going to die, and it's a death that'll seem unbelievable/like it can't possibly be right. That makes me think it might be Emma or Gold. >_<

No, I'm thinking Emma since that's the one death that would NOT make sense, and that's how they're acting. But yes, I'm thinking Henry... And Jane Epsenson said the Rumbelle fans will be happy, so that makes me mad. T_T I CAN'T ACCEPT THEM AS TRUE LOVE since she didn't like him the way he was! That's why I know Gold won't die, cuz if he did, Rumbellers wouldn't be happy. >_> So irritated right now...I'm close to giving up on this stupid show.

LOL!! Very good point, the canon pairings on the show SUCK. -_- I've found the only time I get any shipper feelings is when the characters are enemies, or frenemies at best. And I know, but if Emma's the one to die, I won't be interested in watching. She's my favorite character aside from Gold, so I don't want to watch some bizarre twist where she isn't actually the savior. >___>

Yeah I really don't see them pulling shit like that, making Emma not the savior/killing her off. I mean MAYBE she could die if it were the last episode ever...but...yeah no. There are some routes writers (generally) won't go because they piss off people. They'll mess with you and make you THINK they'll do it, to lure you in and watch the show, but won't really do it. Just look at J.K. Rowling. A year before Deathly Hallows came out (the book) she said on the radio Harry was gonna die and everyone flipped out. Did he die? SORTA not really. He's alive in the end is what matters. lol.

She seriously said that??? O__O I'd never do that, cuz then I'd be called a liar... lol I'm beginning to feel better, though, cuz apparently Belle's not coming back for S2 (yay!), and JMo's scheduled to go back to filming in July. So unless that's her ghost being on the show, I guess she'll be ok.

I forget her exact wording...but I think she just heavily implied it with tricky wording Rumple-style lol. Yeah I remember my mom heard it on the radio one summer morning then came into my room where I was still sleeping lol and goes: "Oh hey, J.K. Rowling just said Harry Potter is gonna die." Me: Hmmm? ...WAIT WHAT!? *falls out of bed* lol.

I'm sure she will be.
