"For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved."

   -Romans 10:10 ESV

My muse died in the hospital without yours knowing. Send me a "✉" for the letter they left for your character.

I love you. I need you to know that, to understand. I'm so, so sorry. For everything. I know this may be scary, and I know it's hard, but I also know you are so very strong Henry. My little prince. My saviour.

         I've made mistakes. You know that. I've been so close to falling, I could see the edge Henry. You... You always pulled me back. When I adopted you, you became my everything. My entire world.

   I knew that day, the day you got the book... I knew something had changed. I could feel you pull away, distancing yourself from me and I admit, not to hurt you but because I need you to know... It hurt Henry. It hurt, but I still loved you. As I do now. As I always will.

    Do you remember when you were six? There was a thunderstorm, and you ran in to my bedroom, terrified? I pulled you on to my lap and we hid under the blankets. You told me a story, and I sang you to sleep? That was me. Not The Queen, not The Mayor. Me. 

    You were then, and will always be, my son. As I am your mother. Nothing anyone says can change that, not for me.

Yeah, but Rumple has never raped anyone either, and the argument was made that she did it more. Honestly, the overall argument is that people have different reasons for hating a character or liking another character far more, and those reasons are always personal. For many people, they hate Rum for killing Milah or for what he did to Regina. For others, they hate Regina for raping Graham, continuously blaming other people for their own choices, or [insert whatever else here].

Second, no, I don't think the show is doing that with Rumpelstiltskin right now because, at the core of his character, he always lays the blame on himself. He rightly realizes that many of the things he goes through are his own fault, because he made the wrong choice, and he constantly views people through that standard. Regina is evil because of his machinations and because of the choices she herself made, Cora is evil because of the choices she made, etc. And he hates himself for it, which is one reason I prefer him over Regina who constantly goes, "But it's not my fault; I was the hero! Snow made me evil, etc." Every interaction with his own father and how he views himself is seen through that lens and, if you read Adam and Eddy's comments on him, they say the same thing, "Rumple has always chosen power over love" or "this is actually the first time he does something selfless," etc. 

Not to mention that 99% of Rumple's fanbase agrees that he is, and I quote, a "cold-blooded son of a bitch."
