Blockchain Disruption: How Student Engagement with Technology Courses Shapes Career Trajectories

In an era characterized by rapid technological advancements, the role of education in shaping career trajectories has evolved significantly. Among the emerging technologies that have garnered substantial attention is blockchain technology. Its potential to disrupt traditional industries and revolutionize various sectors has prompted educational institutions to offer dedicated blockchain technology courses. This article delves into the intricate relationship between student engagement with blockchain technology course and the subsequent impact on their career paths. By examining the multifaceted dimensions of blockchain disruption and its implications, we aim to shed light on the transformative power of this technology within the context of education and professional development.

Understanding Blockchain Technology and its Disruptive Potential

Blockchain technology, initially introduced as the foundation for cryptocurrencies, has transcended its original purpose and found applications in numerous industries. At its core, blockchain is a decentralized and immutable digital ledger that records transactions across a network of computers. This design ensures transparency, security, and traceability of data, eliminating the need for intermediaries and instilling trust within digital interactions. As industries such as finance, supply chain, healthcare, and more embrace blockchain, the demand for professionals with a comprehensive understanding of this technology continues to grow.

The Emergence of Blockchain Technology Courses

Recognizing the unprecedented potential of blockchain, educational institutions have swiftly responded by offering dedicated courses aimed at imparting knowledge and skills in this field. These blockchain technology courses encompass a wide array of topics, ranging from the underlying technical aspects of blockchain to its practical applications and implications. Students enrolled in these courses gain insights into cryptographic principles, consensus algorithms, smart contracts, decentralized applications (DApps), and the broader socio-economic impacts of blockchain adoption. The goal is to equip students with the expertise needed to navigate the dynamic landscape of blockchain technology.

The Nexus Between Student Engagement and Career Trajectories

Student engagement with blockchain technology course extends beyond mere classroom participation; it involves a proactive commitment to learning, exploring, and applying the acquired knowledge. Engaged students delve into hands-on projects, collaborate on blockchain-related initiatives, and seek internships or co-op opportunities in the blockchain industry. This level of involvement fosters a deep understanding of the technology and its practical implications, positioning students as frontrunners in the blockchain talent pool. Consequently, their career trajectories are shaped by a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and practical experience, making them highly sought-after candidates in an increasingly blockchain-driven job market.

The Evolution of Career Opportunities

The influence of blockchain disruption on career trajectories is evident in the diverse range of job opportunities that have emerged. Traditional roles, such as software developers and systems analysts, have evolved to incorporate blockchain-specific skill sets. However, the scope extends far beyond technical roles. Professionals with expertise in blockchain find themselves in demand across legal, regulatory, managerial, and entrepreneurial domains. This highlights the interdisciplinary nature of blockchain disruption, where a convergence of technological acumen and domain-specific knowledge is crucial for success.

Navigating the Future: Challenges and Prospects

While the prospects for blockchain professionals are promising, the journey is not devoid of challenges. The rapid pace of technological evolution necessitates a continuous commitment to upskilling and staying updated with the latest advancements. Furthermore, as blockchain's societal impacts unfold, ethical considerations and regulatory frameworks become paramount. Professionals in this domain must navigate the complex landscape of data privacy, security, and decentralized governance.

Conclusion

the nexus between student engagement with blockchain technology course and subsequent career trajectories underscores the transformative power of education in the digital age. As blockchain continues to disrupt traditional industries and redefine business processes, professionals equipped with a deep understanding of this technology are poised to shape the trajectory of innovation. The interdisciplinary nature of blockchain disruption necessitates a holistic approach to education, where theoretical knowledge is complemented by practical application. As students engage with blockchain technology courses, they not only position themselves as leaders in a dynamic job market but also contribute to the ongoing evolution of this groundbreaking technology. The journey from the classroom to the professional realm exemplifies the profound impact that blockchain disruption can have on the future of work.

One of my favorite things about MLQC is the frequent use of symbolic imagery and motifs to set scenes and center characters. I think it’s incredibly clever, considering the importance of MC’s dreams, that the dreamlike symbolism is present throughout the story. At times, in MC’s confusion of piecing events together, reading the story almost feels like a sort of dream or vision interpretation. I love how consistent these symbols are for the characters and the way conflicting or contrasting imagery is used to add depth throughout the story. Also, since the story is told through MC’s perspective, the use of imagery shows us that her perception of the world is colored by her care for the main cast. When she’s with Gavin, MC notices fluttering leaves, when she’s with Victor, time slows, when she’s with Kiro, the sun is brighter, and when she’s with Lucien, she’s more attentive to light and shadow.

Under the cut, I have written more (1400ish words more) about symbolism in MLQC and how it adds depth to Lucien's characterization in particular.

Aside from adding to the mood of the story, the symbolism can also be used to narrative effect, showing us how MC is interpreting a character’s actions or motivations.

For example, we can look at how MC sorts through her feelings about Kiro/Helios in Chapter 29. Sun imagery pervaded previous chapters that centered Kiro while moon imagery is associated with Helios. In CH29, MC uses the harmony between the sun and moon as a metaphor when she accepts that Kiro and Helios are one and the same. This adds depth to what MC is feeling about Helios and also serves to contextualize the relationship between the two identities. (Note: I just love the idea that Helios has the same “sunshine” as Kiro but that he reflects it in a subtle way rather than being overwhelmingly positive like Kiro. This dynamic is only ever implied by the imagery and symbolism but it’s so perfect.)

In particular, though, I want to talk about some of the symbolism associated with Lucien and what we can learn from the way these symbols interact with one another.

Light and Shadow

One motif that is very present when the story is focused on Lucien is the balance between light and shadow. (Note: It’s very on the nose at times but executed well, I think, so I’ll give them a pass.) This motif is introduced far before Lucien’s betrayal is ever revealed, as early as his first meeting with MC. (Note: I literally wasn’t sure when the motif was first introduced but I went back to Lucien’s first scene and SURE ENOUGH, there it is. I love how consistent the writing is in this regard. The motifs are handled so well and so intentionally.)

During Lucien’s first scene in the game, light shining in from the window obscures his face. Far ahead of the betrayal, light and shadow are symbolically playing at obscuring his identity from MC. The light/shadow motif is used at first to symbolize Lucien being duplicitous, without much hinting toward his internal struggle. Later, when it’s clear that Lucien is struggling with a choice between metaphorical “dark” desire to continue his mission and “light” of protecting MC, light is used to hint at that internal conflict. An example of this is below, from Lucien's first standoff with Victor in Chapter 11.

Notably, though, sometimes, the “light” represents MC directly while the “shadow” represents Lucien. After Lucien’s internal conflict and desire to protect MC is first touched on in Chapter 16, the two are symbolically juxtaposed by scene-settings back-to-back in the last two units of CH16. 16-24 opens with a description of Lucien’s dark, gloomy room and 16-25 opens with a description of the lamp on MC’s desk casting a bright light. (Note: MC’s Evol is also represented by light often, so I think this imagery for her works even beyond its juxtaposition with Lucien.)

The same thing happens again when MC comes back from the Eternal Winter world, Lucien’s office is described as dark and shadowy when he is alone and then it’s cast in an “ephemeral glow” as soon as MC steps into the room.

Mirrors

A large part of Lucien’s character arc is his failure to properly make sense of his own identity, this struggle is represented by mirrors/reflections. Often, mirrors are shattered or distorted, implying an added difficulty of perception.

Because of the expectations that have been put on him from a young age, Lucien is very disconnected from his own identity. Even with Black Swan set completely aside, because of his savant-like personality and inability to relate to others, Lucien doesn’t view himself as a human being. Beyond that, there is also a struggle between the two identities of “Lucien” and “Ares” implied.

I think that the answer to this struggle is MC understanding Lucien and having clarity about who he is as a person. Light reflected in mirrors represents this concept symbolically in the Mirror Painting date. (Note: I believe this date is only currently available in the CN server, I read this translation) In this date, Lucien and MC paint each other and then use mirrors to reflect light onto the painting when it’s displayed. After being painted and, therefore, symbolically seen by MC, Lucien is finally allowed to turn away from the mirrors and stop worrying about who he is. The mirrors that represent his struggle with identity are able to add depth to a beautiful image when paired with the lights that represent MC’s understanding.

Shattered and Distorted Glass

This goes hand-in-hand with the mirror motif but is worth mentioning on its own because the symbolism is slightly different. While distorted mirrors imply difficulty for Lucien to perceive himself, distorted glass implies a difficulty for others to perceive Lucien. Shattered glass also represents a fractured relationship between the identities of “Lucien” and “Ares” in a few scenes.

On the wall of the abandoned Ultima Bioresearch Lab, MC finds a quotation written on the wall from the Bible. “For now we see through a glass, darkly. The truth is projected into the hearts of men through a glass lens. It’s distorted, blurry, and one-dimensional.” (Note: I’m assuming that this verse was translated from the Chinese dialogue and not transcribed from an English Bible translation, because this is, at the very least, not a popular translation of the verse that I’m familiar with. Ironically, it’s more popular to translate “glass” here as “mirror” so there goes this whole section LMAO.)

Because of the way it’s presented, I think that this image of distorted glass represents not how MC actually perceives Lucien but, rather, how Lucien believes he perceives her. Obviously, this is also foreshadowing the betrayal so, in a way, he’s correct in asserting that she is not seeing all of him. But, on the whole, this distorted glass imagery is delivered in a way that implies the distortion more as an insecurity on Lucien’s part rather than the reality of MC’s vision.

Rainbows

Keeping with Lucien’s themes of paradox and duplicity, one of his main motifs is the appearance of rainbows, despite the fact that he is colorblind. This is, again, representative of MC’s “light” being transformative to Lucien because the rainbows appear when they are together. I think that, rather than being a symbol for Lucien alone, rainbows represent Lucien’s relationship with MC. It’s a sort of combination of MC’s light imagery and Lucien’s refraction/distortion imagery. In the right circumstances, they can create something beautiful together.

It’s also implied throughout the story that Lucien is able to see colors when he’s around MC, so he is truly only able to appreciate the beauty of rainbows when he is with her. (Note: It’s unclear how this works but I think that it’s a side-effect of his Evol mimicking hers. There’s a footage mission where it seems like Lucien has to ask MC to look at something before he can tell the color of it so I think that he is somehow able to see the world through her perspective, possibly by using her Evol to have real-time visions. Does this make sense? Who knows, but I refuse to accept it just as soulmate magic!!!!)

If you haven’t, I highly recommend reading Lucien’s “Rainbow Luck” R&S. (Note: A recording is available here!) In this story, told from the perspective of Lucien’s pen, Iridescent, MC and Lucien see a rainbow together and it’s implied that this is Lucien’s first time being able to see a rainbow because MC is there. (Note: Iridescent as a name itself is an instance of Lucien’s rainbow motif.)

(Note: Lucien's Moments also features a rainbow paperweight at Bond Level 40.)

TLDR: Imagery and symbolism are used in MLQC to imply things about the characters and their relationships with MC. In particular, with Lucien, recurring imagery is used to represent his internal conflict and his desire for love and understanding from MC. The symbolism of light and its reflection/refraction is used to great effect throughout Lucien’s story, implying a complex web of internal struggles.

which mlqc characters fits which mysme character!

Okay, this was a challenge because some were really easy, but some just don’t have a close match up at all.

Because I really had to reach for some of them, these have extensive spoilers for both Mystic Messenger and MLQC. It addresses basically all the secrets the characters have. You should have played their routes for Mystic Messenger, and you should be caught up to the english release (ch 24) when it comes to MLQC boys.

We’ll just put the most obvious thing aside first. Victor and Jumin let’s not kid ourselves. We’d be naive to suggest Victor and Jumin weren’t intentionally similar - Victor is deliberately similar. He’s the cold and unapproachable filthy rich young businessman who’s also the exact same age as Jumin. He’s insanely, fiercely dedicated to the person that he loves, to the point of smothering them in his panic to protect them if he’s fearful for their safety. He prefers cats to humans, and will literally abuse his time stop evol to gently pick up a cat in the road and move it to safety. He’s also much gentler than he lets on or people would think, as he’ll put himself at risk by revealing his evol to save a perfect stranger, and will pull over to the side of the street and run full speed into a crowd to save someone he doesn’t know. They’re both deeply hung up on a woman in their past that makes them immune to the advances of other women.

Now yes, Victor is self made while Jumin is possibly old money, Victor is tsundere while Jumin is kuudere, Victor stops time and Jumin has ‘make people pretend that time has stopped’ money, but the differences aren’t significant enough to separate this. Especially as much of fandom loves to write Jumin as MC’s boss in one form or another, and Victor can be seen as a outgrowth of that.

Moving on to Kiro, I have said he’s multiple people, but if I have to pick just one, it��s Kiro and Luciel/707 Kiro puts on a super happy and friendly face, like he’s never down or ever has dark thoughts, but if he’s with the person he truly cares for, he reveals his true insecurities and fatigue to her and only her. He also pushes the MC away for a while and acts cold and cruel, though the reasons he does so are radically different from 707, as well as his methods. They both look like they’d never hurt a fly, but in reality they’ll kill without even flinching. Kiro also has an ‘other half’ who is a cold and cruel man with dyed white hair. Also, you know. Key. The ultimate supreme hacker Key. They’re also both motherless, and missing the person who was next to them as a child.

Of course, 707 is owned, while Kiro is a free agent except when he doesn’t want to be. Kiro is an orphan while 7 only wishes he were, and 7 has a brother and a lot more personal connections than Kiro, but like Victor and Jumin, they’re extremely similar.

The other ones are a bit harder.

The best comparison I have to Shaw is Unknown, because they’re both mysterious strangers who are brothers to another character secretly, they both have a bad family life they’re now away from, they’re both criminals, and they both have a soft spot despite themselves for the MC as long as they get to know her. This one is pretty tenuous, but Shaw just isn’t really a good fit with Mysme.

Lucien and V are the most likely compatible pair. It’s tough, because Lucien doesn’t really have a ready match. V will sacrifice himself basically endlessly to avoid harming anyone else, while Lucien isn’t particularly concerned about individual people being hurt, and instead cares about the big picture. He will, however “happily sacrifice himself” if it would save humanity. They also agree that if the result is assured, making a choice for other people without giving them input is reasonable. More solidly, though, they both hold deep secrets, with a personal connection to the ‘dark’ group. They also both love the ‘queen’ or ‘savior’ figure of the group, as Lucien loves and is doggedly loyal to The Queen, and V loves Rika. Because of their secrets, they seem unapproachable and untrustworthy (except to the person they love) and they are willing to allow other people to believe negative untruths about them for what they think is best, particularly the well beg of someone they care about.

Gavin is honestly the worst fit. No one is really like him in Mystic Messenger, because he’s not that compatible with the format, much like Shaw isn’t compatible with Mysme and Yoosung isn’t with MLQC. My best fit for him is Gavin and Zen they’re both crazy popular with the women, but even if they wanted to pursue one, their careers don’t really leave them open to relationships. Their parents are abusive, they can both be characterized as loyal puppies, and immediately have feelings for the MC for really no particularly profound reason. They’re also the two kind of ‘super heroes’ who most readily rush into danger to save not just the woman they love, but anyone in danger. Neither has an affinity for cats, but rather dogs. Gavin is associated with birds and if Zen sang outside, birds would probably appear around him. They’re also the most traditionally masculine, with the common ‘that’s just how boys are’ behaviors and assumptions, and the most simple and straightforward relationship. Gavin and Zen don’t really have any secrets for the MC, they push themselves too hard and hurt themselves, but MC doesn’t really need to be their therapist. They’re the least complicated relationships, where you know what you’re getting from them fairly early on and that never really changes by later revelations.

It’s not a great fit, but it’s what I’ve got.

New in Pubmed: Genomic landscape of mutational biases in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas.

Genomic landscape of mutational biases in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas.

Genome Biol Evol. 2020 Jul 28;:

Authors: Song K

Abstract Mutation is a driving force of evolution that has been shaped by natural selection and is universally biased. Previous studies determined genome-wide mutational patterns for several species and investigated the heterogeneity of mutational patterns at fine-scale levels. However, little evidence of the heterogeneity of mutation rates over large genomic regions was shown. Hence, the mutational patterns of different large-scale genomic regions and their association with selective pressures still need to be explored. As the second most species-rich animal phylum, little is known about the mutational patterns in Mollusca, especially oysters. In this study, the mutational bias patterns are characterized by using whole-genome resequencing data in the Crassostrea gigas genome. I studied the genome-wide relative rates of the pair mutations and found that the predominant mutation is GC -> AT, irrespective of the genomic regions. This analysis reveals that mutational biases were associated with gene expression levels across the C. gigas genome. Genes with higher expression levels and breadth expression patterns, longer coding length, and more exon numbers had relatively higher GC -> AT rates. I also found that genes with larger dN/dS values had relatively higher GC -> AT rates. This work represents the first comprehensive research on the mutational biases in Mollusca species. Here, I comprehensively investigated the relationships between mutational biases with some intrinsic genetic factors and evolutionary indicators and proposed that selective pressures are important forces shaping the mutational biases across the C. gigas genome.

Bookshelf Briefs 6/12/18

Arakawa Under the Bridge, Vol. 3 | By Hikaru Nakamura | Vertical Comics – It really does surprise me how invested I am in rec and Nino’s love affair, given that it’s not really an affair yet and this book is more about everyone being hopelessly weird. But in a series like that, you need something to ground you or else you risk not caring about anything, and for me it’s the moments when the two really show how devoted they are to each other. Elsewhere, a battle royale between the cast goes about how you’d expect in terms of the winner (hint: she’s on the cover), and there is also the occasional hint that these happy (sort of) days for rec won’t be able to last forever. Arakawa requires a love of gag comedy to appreciate, but if you do there are a lot of rewards here. – Sean Gaffney

Durarara!! Re;Dollars Arc, Vol. 1 | By Ryohgo Narita, Suzuhito Yasuda, and Aogiri | Yen Press – The last time we had a DRRR!! manga volume come out over here, we were just beginning the light novel release. Almost three years later, here’s the new arc. This starts to adapt the fifth novel, meaning that Akane and Vorona, two of my favorites, make an appearance. There’s not a whole lot of extra content here for those who have seen the anime and read the novels, though I was very appreciative of Shinra’s fantasy of why Akane would want to kill Shizuo. But for those who like following DRRR!! in manga form, this adaptation remains a good go-to choice. It’s drawn by Aogiri, who also did the Aquarion Evol manga art. Sadly, it also has Izaya being Izaya Alas. – Sean Gaffney

The Elder Sister-Like One, Vol. 1 | By Iida Pochi | Yen Press – While I was reading this, the first thing that came to mind was “this reads like porn with the sex removed.” Which indeed it is—the original was a pornographic doujinshi, but the author made the relationship non-explicit and a bit more familial (only a bit, mind you) for this mainstream release. The premise involves a young man who has been passed along from relative to relative and his demonic familiar who becomes a sort of twisted family. If you’re thinking “This sounds like Natsume’s Book of Friends only written for guys and with lots more cleavage,” you aren’t far off. It actually manages to respectably straddle the line between supernaturally sweet and supernaturally skeezy as hell. We’ll see how long it can keep that up. – Sean Gaffney

Flying Witch, Vol. 6 | By Chihiro Ishizuka | Vertical Comics – The cast expands a bit here, as we meet Sayo, a “student council president” sort who thinks that Makoto is a bit too laid-back and relaxed about her witchly duties. Which, to be fair, is 100% correct. Fortunately, they bond over a case involving a repeating town block, and Sayo shows off her shy, cute side. Elsewhere in the volume, most of the rest of the cast show up for a barbecue of sorts, as we get much discussion of giblets and just how common it is to be loving it as a delicacy. Speaking of food, turns out the school’s pork cutlets are delicious to cats as well as humans, and also that you can get winter in July provided you’re associated with witches. Flying Witch is always peaceful, but never boring. – Sean Gaffney

Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma, Vol. 24 | By Yuto Tsukuda and Shun Saeki | VIZ Media – I haven’t enjoyed this Central arc much, so it’s a relief that the end seems to be in sight. It turns out that Erina’s dad once idolized Soma’s dad and is unable to resist a challenge in which a defeated Joichiro would become his minion. Now the resisters are going up against the remaining council members, with the possibility of taking over the council themselves, and we get fun training action like a three-on-three battle during which Takumi reveals just how much he’s grown and Erina attempts unorthodox cooking for the first time. It’s a lot of fun and the air of amiable challenge that exists between Soma and Joichiro ends up inspiring Erina to stand up to her dad and publicly side with the resisters. We barely get started on the team shokugeki before the volume ends, but I’m happy to find myself once again enjoying this series immensely. – Michelle Smith

Haikyu!!, Vol. 24 | By Haruichi Furudate | Viz Media – This was one of the best volumes of Haikyu!! I’ve read yet, and it’s not a coincidence that there’s no tournament going on. I do love the games, but volume after volume of them can get exhausting (and hard to review). Here we see a jealous and driven Hinata follow Tsukishima to the all-rookie camp… where he wasn’t invited. What’s worse, the coach of this camp is Shiratorizawa, whose motto is basically “no short kids.” Still, he lets Hinata be the ball boy. This is actually really good for him, as it allows him to realize how much there is to learn by just watching. His raw instinct is combining with actual game smarts, and it’s terrific to see. I am really waiting to see how this plays out in the future. – Sean Gaffney

Laid-Back Camp, Vol. 2 | By Afro | Yen Press – I mentioned this in my review of the first volume, but it really is striking how much the series is trying to separate the main cast. We start off with Nadeshiko and her club at a hot spring camp, and Rin… far away, looking for another hot spring (which turns out to be closed) but finding her own solitary camping experiences. It’s nice to see that the manga tells people it’s fine to have fun on your own. Still, I think I appreciated it more when Rin and Nadeshiko were actually interacting in person rather than by phone, and I do hope that in future volumes we can have the four together… or maybe five, if we can convince Rin’s weird friend to come along. Still a nice series as laid-back as its name—I just wish it had more characterization. – Sean Gaffney

Takane & Hana, Vol. 3 | By Yuki Shiwasu | Viz Media – Takane & Hana is still at its best when its romantic pair are snarking at each other, and there’s plenty of that here. Elsewhere, though, Hana’s grades are starting to slip, leading to a studying binge which Takane actually proves pretty adept at helping with. It’s not without cost, though, as he gets a bad cold, and she realizes just how much it is that he actually does. Meanwhile, a trip with Takane, Hana, and Hana’s friends also includes the high school boy who likes her, and he brings up the elephant in the room, which is the fact that Takane is a decade older than Hana, she’s still in high school, and this is pretty creepy if you stop and think about it. That said, I’m content right now to let the shoujo manga keep the romance on a slow simmer. – Sean Gaffney

Yona of the Dawn, Vol. 12 | By Mizuho Kusanagi | VIZ Media –Yona of the Dawn is always good, but this volume is particularly so. Yona and her retinue get caught in the Fire Tribe city of Saika as an invading army from the Kai empire approaches. I appreciated the atmosphere of tension while everyone waited and also loved seeing Tae-Jun be brave, keeping his promise to protect the villagers. It turns out it’s all a traitorous plot and even though Yona would also like to get vengeance on Su-Won, she can’t let this army attack the palace lest they throw the nation into chaos. Potentially my favorite aspect of this, though, is that Kusanagi keeps showing that Su-Won actually is a better king than Yona’s father was. I expect eventually she’ll have to recognize that for herself. At turns light-hearted and intense, Yona of the Dawn really is something special. I’m glad this story exists. – Michelle Smith

Nealfire/Bae. Honestly, if Gideon has come at a time on the show when the writers weren’t hellbent or destroying every element of Rumple and Belle’s individual characterizations, their dynamic, and their relationship together to prop up Crapstain Hook/CS, then I could have been completely on board with a Rumbelle baby. But as it was, the Rumbaby came at the worst possible time for Rumple and Belle in their relationship, they used him as a plot device to vilify Rumple, and completely destroyed what little remaining credibility and realism existed in both characters and their relationship to make CS look better after 5A.

Yeah, Gideon turned out to be a sweet kid, and I’m glad that Rumple and Belle got to raise him together happily ever after, but that doesn’t mean that I’m ever forgiving Adam and Eddy and these writers for using the Rumbaby as another convoluted way to emphasize how EVOL Rumple was, and another way to further fuck up both his and Belle’s characters in 6A, so they could make CS look better after 5A.

I had to quit watching after S5 because the writing for everyone’s characterization was so unbelievably OOC, infuriating, and mutually toxic, especially for Emma, Rumple, and Belle, who were my faves. They’d even turned Henry into a whiny and selfish little shit with no empathy in the 5B finale of “Only You” with that stupid “destroy magic” PLOT twist. Of course, I couldn’t really blame the characters for behaving in wildly OOC fucked up ways, and/or doing, and/or saying wildly OOC fucked up shit to each other that no one would ever realistically forgive. I could understand if it actually made believable sense why they were all being characterized as such as toxic messes, but on the show at this point, it was blatantly clear that Emma, Hook, Rumple, Belle, Snowing, and Henry were all victims of A&E and these writers external forces of nonsensical PLOT-driven magical fuckery Drama™️ on this show that had devolved into a soap opera, and not really due to anything that had to do with them being inherently unlikable or unsympathetic characters.

Plus, after that unbelievable, wildly OOC, and melodramatically mutually toxic extreme low the writers took CS to in 5A with that character destroying Dark Swan/Dark Hook nonsensical PLOT twist, I knew there was no way that A&E and these writers weren’t going to purposefully fuck up Rumple and Belle in a way that was so wildly OOC, illogical, melodramatically mutually toxic, and cringeworthy that I couldn’t defend or excuse either of them anymore as written in canon sooner or later to prop up Hook/CS again after 5A, and I couldn’t deal with that shit anymore, especially not after S4-S5 being more than bad enough to Rumbelle for Hook/CS’s benefit enough already.

Yeah, I think OUAT was the first show I watched on television that taught me the difference between hating a fictional character and hating the writers/creators behind them.

I used to be one of those people who thought, “Oh, people who ignore canon writing for their favorite problematic fictional characters when they do fucked up things, are just being babies! They signed up for a problematic fave, so they should know better!”

The problem with OUAT wasn’t the characters as originally written, and/or when written in-character and developed organically. I loved Rumple, Belle, Rumbelle, and Emma as originally characterized and developed from S1-S3 in canon on the show, and I love them in canon-divergent/AU fanon scenarios! But A&E and the writers were ultimately lazy, and chose to misuse them as tools in their PLOTs to emotionally manipulate the audience to blindly feel whatever they wanted them to feel, rather than telling an organic story with realistic characters who dealt with realistic relationship problems, development, and/or consistent characterization in favor of cheesy magical soap opera Drama™️ I had to quit watching after S5 to save my sanity.

The big issues, in my opinion, were that:

A) It was only ever a melodramatic big deal “OMG, SO EVOL” when Rumple so much as considered committing crimes and/or abusing magic in ways that violated autonomy or consent that could recklessly hurt/potentially endanger other people for, generally speaking, good reasons. But Emma, Belle, Regina, Snow, David, Zelena, Hook, and Henry could abuse magic for their own ends in ways that could/actually did potentially hurt and/or endanger other people recklessly all the time now too, and no one batted an eye. Rumple wanting to do the same with magic to protect family in narrative shouldn’t have been excused either, but character assassinating him by having him fuck around with bizarre and contrived magical macguffins out of nowhere and framing him as awildly OOC cartoonish mad villain for it, didn’t make the other characters look any better for getting away doing the same whenever it suited them on the show. Just because the writers had Rumple look bad under a magnifying glass of deliberately character assassinating bad writing by having him abusing magic to counterbalance everyone else’s magic abuse on the show, it didn’t automatically make the other characters look morally superior to Rumple or make them better characters. It just made them look hypocritical, self-righteous, petty, narrow-minded, and lacking in self-awareness. I feel like Adam, Eddy, and these writers felt like they could make everyone else on their fucked up and toxic show look better by deliberately tarnishing Rumple as their scapegoat to vilify in an increasingly obvious attempt to emotionally manipulate their audience to side with all of their other also incredibly fucked up and problematic characters by singling out one character as the “worst” on a show where everyone else was/ended up becoming just as much of, if not worse of a toxic mess of bad writing in one way or another anyway. Not surprisingly, they failed.

B). A well-written problematic character is not necessarily redeemable, but your audience still sees and understands the realistic reasons of how and/or why they got there gradually and consistently unfold on screen and/or within their backstories behind the scenes that build up to increasingly problematic behaviors on screen by not taking care of their mental health/sanity, even if they don’t end up liking them in the end.

A badly-written problematic character may suffer from unresolved issues of abuse, mental illness, addiction, trauma, grief, and loss to flesh them out more sympathetically in a narrative, but those realistic issues don’t end up being the issues the writers behind them choose to focus on to drive their increasingly problematic and out-of-character behaviors from point A to point C. On OUAT, they chose to focus on contrived, biased, externalized, hypocritical, and blatantly emotionally manipulative cartoonish “hero vs villain” character destroying Drama™️ by breaking, and bending their own rules of magic with bizarre macguffins and flashy magical PLOT twist fuckery character destroying garbage to force the audience to feel the way they wanted them to feel about the characters. Consistent, realistic normally intelligent, loving, open, kindhearted, devoted, loyal, cautious, and sane characterizations in these characters and their relationships were thrown away out of the blue if and/or whenever the writers stupid PLOTs demanded they suddenly start acting like wildly OOC caricatures who were acting bizarrely cartoonishly evil, exceedingly distrustful, exceedingly deceptive, exceedingly gullible, exceedingly conniving, melodramatically toxic, melodramatically cruel, reckless, and/or unbelievably stupid because the writers wanted for them to be ridiculously oblivious to solutions to conflicts and/or problems with each other thst should have and would have been obvious for them to resolve by taking a fucking chill pill, asking questions and doing research, sitting down to talk to each other and make compromises with each other like two mature adults for no realistically believable reason because they wanted for them to self-destruct to the worst possible rock bottom in their magical Drama™️ soap opera character destroying PLOT fuckery “twists.” (CS in 5A and Rumbelle in 4A-6A).

I could understand if it were a gradual, realistic, slow-burn, and organic build up of insanity in an unhealthy response to a character being constantly abused, rejected, misunderstood, ostracized, emotionally manipulated by false hope, and/or fucked over for trying to be good, anyway. However, on OUAT, especially in later seasons after 3A, you would have Rumple, Regina, Belle, Emma, Snow, David, Henry, and even Hook himself going from being seemingly normal, loving, rational, sane, and/or trying to be good in one moment to very uncharacteristically melodramatically abusive, cruel, criminal, dark, deceptive, distrustful, petty, impatient, insensitive, reckless, triggering, stupid, and/or batshit insane in the next out of nowhere within a timeline that took place over a day or less from the end of 3B-S7 because their asinine PLOT twists or contrived macguffins demanded they do a complete 180 for senseless character destroying Drama™️ for “fun” in the next few episodes of an arc.

Then, they just “went back to normal” after the writers were all done outright destroying their characters credibility and integrity for wildly OOC needless Drama™️ in their magical PLOT fuckery twists by making them do, threaten to do, and/or say horrifically and unbelievably OOC, melodramatically and needlessly cruel, destructive, hurtful, mutually toxic, traumatizing, reckless, violent, and/or stupid shit in regards to each other for a few episodes of an arc that no one would ever realistically forgive, even if they meant well. At least not without a logical explanation for why it happened, and/or or a lot of time to process it to let go of the hurt they caused each other first, which we never got to see on screen in the aftermath as a resolution on screen.

It’s the most infuriatingly lazy type of writing that I have ever seen on a television show and such a total waste of potentially interesting and relatable characters for cheap shock value and Drama™️ in the PLOT.

C) When you kill off a character, especially a redemptive anti-villain/tragic hero type character, kill them off once and then be done with them for good. I’ve seen it work in fan fiction, but on television where you’re expected to stick to rules, it never does.

D) “Foil” does not mean you outright destroy another character to fool the audience into thinking that the other one you want them to root for is any better without them actually doing or saying anything to prove it. That’s just lazy and blatantly emotionally manipulative bad writing.

E). Stop with the “Evil is sexy” in female villains and Rumple, a feminine-coded anti-villain. It honestly was so cringeworthy and unsexy on OUAT.

F). Female “empowerment” and “feminism” does not mean being a control freak with a man, refusing to let them get a word in edgewise, interrupting them, belittling them, walking away, and/or being needlessly cruel, and/or a petty bitch every time they so much as slightly disagrees with you. It does not mean giving men ultimatums for you to be together, or leading them on with borderline emotionally manipulative false hope to get what you want from them, only to drop them right afterwards/if they don’t do exactly what you demand 100% of the time. It does not mean being emotionally, verbally, physically, and/or sexually abusive of men. It does not mean needlessly kicking men when they are already down by using their emotional vulnerability against them to mock them about how “weak” they are for expressing their very real fears to you in a desire for your emotional support and understanding. Being a “strong” woman does not mean treating men in relationships like “projects for you to ‘fix’” just as being a “strong” woman does not mean giving up your own personal convictions and independence to be with them. My god, they really fucked up Emma, Regina, Belle, and Zelena with this Empowerment™️ trope…

G). Male characters should progress and regress with more than just the solely emotionally manipulative force of a female love interest. Female characters should be able to progress and regress with more than just a male love interest’s emotionally manipulative force. I’ll always love Rumbelle, Snowing in the early seasons and in fanon scenarios, and even CS wouldn’t have been that bad, but the writers either destroyed both halves of them with Drama™️ in the PLOT, and/or sidelined them and made them unhealthily codependent. I think killing off Nealfire killed that core theme of family, especially in Rumple and Emma.

But basically, Rumple, Belle, Snow, David, Emma, Neal, and Hook should have all been more developed as individual characters who could grow and regress as more than just love interests.

H). Stop this trope of using female love interests to vilify their male love interests by turning them into OOC emotionally abusive/whiplash PLOT devices to trigger them with on-and-off-again bs or problematic behaviors to drive them insane. They did this with CS in 5A, Rumbelle in 6A, and Phole on Charmed in season five. It’s not fun to watch. It’s actually really misogynistic writing that does not make either halves of your couples feel blameless or likable in anti-heroine/redemptive anti-villain couples. It ruins and limits both of them in a way that feels mutually toxic and gross. Acknowledge that both halves of your anti-heroine/anti-villain couple are imperfect and flawed, or break them up amicably for good. But stop trying so hard to make the audience see the problematic female love interest as the “blameless” victim for consciously pushing the male anti-villain’s every button, and getting away with problematic behavior towards him! Stop doing this trope of having the male anti-villain as a “pure EVOL abuser” driven to insanity by the woman with this trope, and then wonder why fans aren’t rooting for either of them when they are being written this way by you.

J) When you “have” to kill off, sideline, and/or outright destroy other characters/ships to get rid of competition for your favorite character or ship, it doesn’t make you a good writer. It just makes you look like a petty hack with a Gary Stu/Mary Sue or a creator’s pet that’s polarizing the show.

K) You are are a very bad storyteller if you think that “fun” means deliberately destroying/derailing your normally sympathetic and/or intelligent characters characterizations into something inexplicably, melodramatically, unbelievably, and uncharacteristically mutually toxic, stupid, and unsympathetic for contrived, needless, and senseless self-destructing Drama™️ in your PLOTs.

L). If your goal as a creative writer is to mindfuck your audience with “SHOCKING” twists that you pull from your ass with no lead up whenever things seem to be headed in a direction that actually feels interesting, promising, and starts to makes organic sense, then we will lose emotional investment in the stories for these characters you’re not interested in telling, and catch on to a pattern the more often you do it because we’re a lot smarter than you think we are.

M). Accept that character growth and/or regression can’t just happen right away because your PLOT demands it. Take time.

N) Guest characters should be fleshed out, and well-developed. Don’t use them as discardable plot devices

O). Stop going back to the status quo! (Rumple’s the Dark One, Emma’s the Savior, Hook/Neal is her boyfriend, Rumbelle are separated for reasons x, y, and z, Rumple does something stupidly self-sabotaging with magic to try to fix a problem in the wrong ways and only makes it worse, Rumple does something selfless for the “first time,” Belle’s a failure hero, Hook wants to get revenge on someone who wronged him, particularly Rumple, Regina has a hole in her heart she wants to fill by artificially absolving her guilt, Zelena fucks over Rumple, Emma has to learn to open up her heart to love, Snowing keep dark secrets from Emma, etc. This show became such a predictable soap opera by S5 that I had to finally quit to preserve my sanity…)

P). Stop romanticizing rape culture!

Q). Dealing with visible negative symptoms mental illness and trauma is not just something that just “bad guys” deal with. “Good guys” can deal with it too, and it’s not something that makes then “weak” or “evil.”

R). No one is entitled to forgive someone who abuses them.

S). Committing murder in immediate self-defense is common sense, not evil.

T). Do not keep trying to force the audience to sympathize with and forgive a villain who feels no remorse for their crimes, and who does nothing to earn it (Regina in S2, Hook, Zelena). The best they did for writing redemption on this show for a villain that I actually cared about was with Rumple, but they even fucked up their best written character.

U). Commit to a single moral standard that applies to everyone on your show, not just one person on your show.

V). Stick to your own rules of magic consistently, and make sure they apply to everyone. Don’t bend and/or break them.

W). Romantic relationships can still be interesting and entertaining to watch without becoming toxic or unhealthy.

X). There’s a way to write hurt/comfort and relationship break up angst that makes realistic sense with a realistic and satsisfying conclusion. Then there’s OUAT romantic couples who get angst for angst sake that feels forced by becoming on-and-off again, juggling the idiot ball, getting written as wildly OOC, and/or getting character assassinated for “SHOCKING” magical PLOT fuckery bullshit contrivances and twists that make no sense to force them to unbelievably toxic and/or stupid extremes that make no sense.

anneelliotscat replied to your post “I’ve said it before and even though I swear it’s been explained to me…”

Well, I put it down to two things: first, fiction requires Plot, which means conflict, and angst makes great conflict for these two. Second, they are both so pretty when they suffer. And the reason we yell at the OUAT writers about the angst is that their angst is Badly Written. Too often it depends on OOC behavior, Reverse Character Development, or the Idiot Ball.

I guess. But doesn’t all angst require one of those three things anyway?

I mean, the natural state of these two is to be together, so if we want to force them apart, then we have to make them do something stupid in order to do that.

@white-throated-packrat

I think Belle would be convicted of attempted child abduction in real life at the beginning of 6x08 because “My estranged husband’s former molester said he was doing something bad, and he’s locked himself in the shop, so I know he must be up to something EVOL,” would not be an legit excuse that would hold up in court.

But in 6x09, I get why she gave the baby away with that threat Rumple made, though I think they dumbed her down by making her not ask if he actually did or not. Rumple actually was acting seriously off the rails here in a wildly OOC atrocious way that I 100% cannot excuse, even if he is my favorite character on the show, and I know that this low point for his characterization in canon wasn’t really him, and just another contrived character assassination to make Hook look better after 5A, which was still way worse, anyway in my opinion...But you get the idea.

I think that both Rumple and Belle were pretty illogically off the rails OOC in triggeringly toxic ways to both each other and their unborn child in ways that I cannot excuse. No seriously, I did not like or recognize either one of these characters as Rumple and Belle. They were both being uncharacteristically horrible, reckless, and stupid in regards to their treatment of both each other and as parents to be. However, I knew this wasn’t really who either of them were supposed to be as characters, but obviously another way to make CS look better after making Hook and Emma do and say far worse to each other and all of Storybrooke in the 5A Dark Hook/Swan arc the season before by deliberately character assassinating Rumple, Belle, and Rumbelle by making them look as uncharacteristically unhealthy as possible to try and even out the playing fields, so I didn’t really see the point in taking sides between these pod!people wearing my faves faces, blaming them for it, or defending much of the writing for either of them in the awful crack!fic on screen that canon has devolved into.

But in this pod!person Belle’s defense, this pod!person Rumple did threaten to speed up her pregnancy, so I can see why she would have believed that he did, even though he backed off. Though the Belle of “Skin Deep” to the end of s3 ish would have been smart enough to ask Rumple questions about whether he actually did it or not, or crossed the town line, I don’t think giving the baby up was about spiting Rumple, or abandoning the baby, though. I think she was afraid, and I can’t totally blame her for that.

I did, however, have a serious problem with Belle unilaterally naming both her and Rumple’s baby after a knight in shining armor who defeated a dark sorcerer from her fairytale book. Everyone was like “Awww...How sweet,” but I was just cringing in total anger, disgust, and shame with these writers! Seriously, Belle had every right to be incredibly furious, and even hateful of Rumple in this episode with that threat he made to speed up her pregnancy, but she is not a petty, spiteful, and shallow bitch who likes to hold onto grudges. Even if she hated Rumple with good reason, she certainly wouldn’t want to be reminded by why she felt her relationship with him failed for the rest of their lives by naming their child after a knight in shining armor who defeated a dark sorcerer from her fairytale book! She would want to make sure that their child had no attachments to his father, and she wouldn’t be petty in her hatred of Rumple by naming their son after a hero who defeated a dark sorcerer in her fairytale book, even if she had every right to never forgive him again.

At this point in the series, I had quit watching back in 5B because I was genuinely worried that Kitsowitz and their team of hacks were going to deliberately fuck up both Rumple and Belle in such a disgustingly OOC, contrived, hateful, unfair, reckless, and stupid way that made me feel too sick to my stomach to defend either of them in canon anymore sooner or later when they realized that they went too far with Hook and Emma as the Dark Duo back in 5A.

I didn’t want to stick around to see what little remaining credibility Rumbelle had in canon get completely destroyed. That’s also why I wasn’t taking sides in this Rumbelle Drama™️ anymore. Their characters were obviously both victims of deliberate character destroying bad writing driven by external forces to prop up Hook onto a pedestal he didn’t deserve, much like Emma had been, so I didn’t see the point in getting angry with characters who were being deliberately ruined to prop up a fuckboy. and to enable stupid plot twists anymore. These characters weren’t really Rumple, Belle, or Emma anymore. They’d been becoming cardboard cutout pod!people to prop up Hook’s “redemption” arc and dumbfuckery magical plot twists ever since the end of 3B.

Ironically, they’d ruined Hook in their rush to “redeem” him with their magical plot fuckery Drama™️ too.

“changelings” impressions

{Quick request to anyone reading: I’m watching OUaT for the first time, and I want to avoid spoilers. So, if you want to discuss something spoilery, I’d be grateful if you could start a new post for that. Thank you!}

Well, damn.

Where do I even start?

Ah, yes, ridiculous fashion choices. Thank you, that’ll do nicely.

Seriously, what is up with this belt? Is there a funny story/deep significance I missed here? Did the Evil Queen get really into wrestling while off-screen? Is this a Fight Club thing?

So many questions, and neary an answer in sight…

…yeah, OK, I’ll get to the actual episode. Under the cut, though. Be warned, this wasn’t a happy one for multiple reasons. For one it’s so long and I am really sorry. I just kept going “and another thing…!” until we got to the current state of things. There are some “skip here” suggestions in the text, though. For another… yeah, just go ahead and read the thing. Short version right here: I did not like this episode, and its also a microcosm of this show’s issues with character continuity. (As in “which bits are canon this episode”)

Keep reading

Yeah, I think OUAT was the first show I watched on television that taught me the difference between hating a fictional character and hating the writers/creators behind them.

The big issues, in my opinion, were that:

I could understand if it were a gradual, realistic, slow-burn, and organic build up of insanity in a character’s unhealthy response to being constantly abused, rejected, misunderstood, ostracized, emotionally manipulated by false hope, and/or fucked over for trying to be good, anyway. It wouldn’t excuse them for their actions or necessarily make them forgivable, but I would believe that I would do what they would in their shoes in similar circumstances as theirs if I saw the build up happen organically without bizarre twists, contrived magical macguffins, prophecies, and rules of magic being bent and broken to melodramatically and inorganically derail them from being seemingly normal to totally losing their shit and essentially having a completely different characterization/personality in the blink of an eye for whatever PLOT demands. I would see realistic reasons and build ups for why they became the way they did by not taking care of their mental health or getting healthy emotional support, and choosing to give into darkness/insanity instead without any strings of PLOT forcing them there inorganically.

However, on OUAT, especially in later seasons after 3A, you would have Rumple, Regina, Belle, Emma, Snow, David, Hook, and even Henry going from being seemingly normal, loving, rational, sane, and/or trying to be good in one moment to very unbelievable, and uncharacteristically, melodramatically cruel, criminal, dark, deceptive, distrustful, petty, impatient, insensitive, reckless, triggering, stupid, and/or batshit insane in the next out of nowhere within a timeline that took place over a day or less from the end of 3B-S7 because their asinine PLOT twists, magic prophecies, and/or one-season magic macguffins demanded they do a complete 180 for senseless character destroying Drama™️ from one episode or scene to the next.

Then, they just “went back to normal” after the writers were all done outright destroying their characters involved for wildly OOC needless Drama™️ in their magical PLOT fuckery twists by making them do, threaten to do, and/or say horrifically and unbelievably OOC melodramatically and needlessly cruel, destructive, hurtful, mutually toxic, traumatizing, reckless, stupid and/or problematic ugly shit in regards to each other for a few episodes of an arc that no one would ever realistically forgive, even if they meant well. At least not without a logical explanation for why it happened, and/or or a lot of time to process to let go of the hurt they caused each other first, which we never got to see on screen in the aftermath as a resolution on screen.

C) When you kill off a character, especially a redemptive anti-villain/tragic hero type character, kill them off once and then be done with them for good.

E). Stop with the “Evil is sexy” in female villains and Rumple, a feminine-coded anti-villain. It honestly was so cringeworthy and unsexy on OUAT.

But basically, Rumple, Belle, Snow, David, Emma, Neal, and Hook should have all been more developed as individual characters who could grow and regress as more than just love interests.

H). Stop this trope of using female love interests to vilify their male love interests by turning them into OOC emotionally abusive/whiplash plot devices to trigger them with on-and-off-again bs or problematic behaviors to drive them insane. They did this with CS in 5A, Rumbelle in 6A, and Phole on Charmed in season five. It’s not fun to watch. It’s actually really misogynistic writing that does not make either halves of your couples feel blameless or likable in anti-heroine/redemptive anti-villain couples. It ruins and limits both of them in a way that feels mutually toxic and gross. Acknowledge that both halves of your anti-heroine/anti-villain couple are imperfect and flawed, or break them up amicably for good. But stop trying so *hard* to make the audience see the problematic female love interest as the “blameless” victim for consciously pushing the male anti-villain’s every button, and stop having the male anti-villain as a “pure EVOL abuser” driven to insanity with this trope. It’s so annoying and disappointing! If you’re going to make it so that *both* halves of this kind of relationship are toxic to each other in an anti-hero/reforming anti villain romance, then stick to being fair, and call them both out to resolve their issues, rather than trying to make the audience take sides! Don’t chicken out halfway through, and go to “evil abuser” versus “blameless victim” mid-way through and/or at the end because you’re too afraid to admit that the “good guy” in the relationship is imperfect and hurtful in regards to the “bad guy” in the relationship! If you can’t be realistic and fair enough to discard your “hero” and “villain” labels, then just break them up amicably after their first fall out. I’m so tired of this on-and-off-again hypocritical character destroying Drama™️ bs, though.

M). Accept that character growth and/or regression can’t just happen right away because the PLOTs you come up demand it. Take time to get them from point to the next in development and/or regression.

N) Guest characters should be fleshed out, and well-developed. Don’t use them as discardable plot devices

Hi! Are you also a fan of Emma Swan?

Hello! Yes, I’m generally a fan of Emma—but with a caveat. I’m not a fan of how she was written in the later part of OUAT, but I love who she was at her core and what she could have been. Sometimes it feels like I’m more of a fan of the pairs that Emma is in—her relationship with Neal, or Regina, or Snow and David, etc—and fanon!Emma… but yeah, I’m a fan. She was a lost little girl who kicked ass fought for what was right and found more family than she could possibly know what to do with. :D

I was pretty much done with the ship in canon as written because of the way they were characterizing Belle in after 4x11.

Look, Rumple has done some awful things to Belle that I cannot excuse, especially with the wildly OOC character assassinating bs for both him and Belle in 6A that I didn’t watch and don’t even acknowledge as canon because it was clearly A&E’s attempt to make Rumple look abusive by finally having him snap at Belle, so that they could “make up” for what they did to CS in 5A, misusing Belle’s character to trigger his breaking point almost every step of the way, and having him fuck around with stupid magical scissors that he wanted to use on his son to supposedly “make him love him” because a dream zygote told Belle that he would destroy the family for no reason.

Belle had every right to break up with Rumple after 4A because of his lies and shadiness, and with the stupidity with the shears in 6A. She had every right to never want to be with him again.

However, she did not have the right to banish him across the town line with nothing, and the fact that she got framed as “heroic” and “blameless” for it was gross abuse apology in the narrative.

She did not have the right to abuse the dagger in the UW to try to stop Rumple from re-killing Gaston in self-defense.

She did not have the right to lead Rumple on with false hope for their relationship in S5 to get him to be on her side when she needed his help, and then drop him like a hot potato when he was no longer of convenience to her afterwards.

She did not have the right to go to Zelena for a sleeping curse.

She did not have the right to blame Rumple for “having” to save his life, and “tainting” her “pure” heart, making him feel guilty for her problems, or puttingherself under a sleeping curse with their child without his consent.

She did not have the right to want to stay in a sleeping curse with their unborn child forever because a dream told her that Rumple was EVOL before he even did anything wrong. Unless Belle was under some kind of weird hypnosis by Morfetus to hate Rumple, which was never made clear in canon, she started off as being weirdly pissed at him for no reason (I’m talking about before the shit where he trapped her on the ship to protect her from Hyde because she stupidly insisted that she didn’t need his protection, and the bizarre shit with the shears, which were all done in overreaction to her cruelty and irrationality) there was no excusing that shit, or coming back from being as bad as her no good father, and it shows you just how spitefully written Belle was written by misogynists at that point.

Staying on H00k’s ship because she couldn’t trust Rumple because of a dream (and I’m talking about before he trapped her on the ship, started overreacting, and fucking up left and right) was OOC, gross, and too stupid to believe.

She did not have the right to be needlessly cruel to Rumple by telling him “that’s just being too weak to be good” when he brokenly reached out to her about being afraid to fail their son when she fucking knows about Bae!

She did not have the right to attempt to kidnap their unborn child from Rumple with Zelena because of hearsay that she got from Zelena. Even “dangerous” parents get supervised visitation rights. That’s right Disney, A&E made Princess Belle a criminal! You guys must be so proud!

Belle had a right to be angry about the ship protection spell, which was still done in an overreaction to her. She had every right to be angry about the shears. She had every right to be wary about him taking back the curse. She had every right to break up with Rumple after 4A. She had every right to be freaked out by him when he threatened to speed up her pregnancy.

However, ever since the town line scene they created this entire narrative of “badass blameless victim special snowflake Belle,” and “Rumple’s ALL to blame for their problems,” even though they constantly misused Belle’s character to needlessly trigger the breaking point of his already fragile sanity and heart. Rumple’s not blameless for their problems, he fucked up, but so did Belle. A relationship can’t work if only one person ever gets called out on their shit, and it’s only on them to change for the better, while the other gets away with being shitty whenever they feel like it. There needs to be equality in a relationship with shared blame and resolution for mistakes in order for it to work out, but they didn’t want to do that with Rumbelle after 4A in canon, so it became difficult to ship.

#look into these big eyes #eyes of a broken man who still let himself hope #hope that maybe this time the woman he loves so much really is back for him #that maybe there still is a chance for him #and then that hope is destroyed and shattered #in seconds #and that broken man just feels like nothing again

#anti belle #at least anti ooc belle #look I get that rumple fucked up with belle in ways that I couldn’t excuse too #but BELLE DID JUST AS MUCH IF NOT MORESO TOO #by being written as needlessly cruel reckless fickle and stupid to trigger his breaking point in S4 and S5 #like I love S1-S3 canon Rumbelle and I’ll always love fanon Rumbelle #but the reason why A&E ruined the relationship in canon was because they kept trying to push this ‘blameless belle’ and ‘PURE EVOL rumple’!#You can’t have a relationship where BOTH halves do and/or say objectively inexcusable awful things to each other #and only call out/punish ONE half of the ship for the inexcusably problematic things they did and/or said to their beloved #while letting the OTHER half get away with needlessly treating their beloved like total shit because they are the ‘hero’
