relax-o-vision:

The parallels between Rumplestiltskin and Gaston (see here) are especially interesting, because Gaston was explicitly created to be a misogynist.

His entire character is driven by thoughts of possessiveness, jealousy, and superiority towards Belle. He wants to HAVE her. He wants her to stop thinking, and to be more obedient.

Those were characteristics we never found in The Beast. The Beast gave Belle a library to woo her. The Beast had power over her, because she offered to stay, and yet with him she had more freedom than she would have had with Gaston.

The message of The Beauty and the Beast essentially is that you need to treat others, especially your partner, as equals. You’re a team, not one master and one servant. You can’t make someone love you, especially not if you treat them like crap.

Gaston’s purpose in the movie is to be the “bad example”. He’s the embodiment of sexism.

This is so striking, because a large portion of the Rumbelle fandom seems to think that Rumple’s actions were not misogynistic—that Rumple is not a misogynist.

I feel like the writers of OUaT could make a podcast and flatout say that Rumplestiltskin is a misogynist and those fans would still deny it.

“…it’s no secret all of the fans love Mulan and Aurora together. What do you think about that lesbian twist?

You know, I’m all about it. I support it 100 percent and I think there’s some truth to that in terms of how much she cares — I think she’s the only person who she cares so much about, other than Prince Phillip. Out of all of the girls, this is her true one best friend and it’s a special kind of love. So, I’m not denying that…”

They do not slay their way to glory, to the wraith, to a prince in distress. They move in stealth, they hear as the rumors grow - a girl encased in the thorns of armor, running from something (not to; never to), from someone. A rose within the briars of metal. A knight for a companion to slay the threats, gouge the eyes of anyone who may see her, catch a glimpse of rosy skin beneath her mask. The stories are the same in every town. They follow them, words winding their way after the rose and her knight, twist around them as they look to one another and grin, hair down and masks off and eyes glowing.
Aurora wonders what will happen if they don’t find Phillip. Her fingers trace the stitching of her glove and she does not look at Mulan, thankful for the orange fire between them, a barrier of unpredictable heat.
“You’ve learned much, regardless of what happens,” Mulan tells her, gently as possible. It’s only half of the truth, she realizes, and she struggles to recall Phillip’s face, reminded only of the way Aurora speaks, the blue eyes of the woman who sits before her, across a blinding wall.
Aurora worries that Cora lied.
Mulan does not let herself hope that she did.
