Look im not gonna dictate to anyone what they can and cant post everyone’s welcome to have their own opinions and biases but all im gonna say is I think if i see one more post about cassandras s3 arc i may snap

I genuinely dont care if you love it or hate it or are neutral about it. if i see one more post related to cass in any way that starts out with “hot take but-“ No. Its been five years. Yall are running out of shit to talk about. Can we talk about lance or something instead please

do not repost my art pls

Varian's main outfits from Tangled: The Series and Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. I'll do his 'Varian and the Seven Kingdoms' outfit in a different post. I don't think he has many variations so it's likely I'll include some fan made stuff later as well.

I love vat7k as much as the next guy but as a message for the fandom, as both a vat7k and tts fan, can we please all collectively agree to just stop putting tangled the series tags on exclusively vat7k posts. Please. I stopped ages ago because it’s just not tts anymore. It’s gotten far enough that its it’s own thing. Unless it actually has like rapunzel or lance or cass or anyone can we please just tag vat7k and nothing else. Varian doesn’t count anymore. His existence is not enough to justify a tts tag. Just tag it as vat7k it’s enough i promise. I love it too but sometimes i just want to look at tts fanart and not vat7k okay 😭

I got inspired by @birb-tangleblog to share my TTS pin collection (with other fandoms mixed in). Most of these came from Etsy, with a few from links gleaned from tumblr postings (plus one golden policy-violating ao3 comment shhh don’t tell ) I really wish they were easier to find; it’s such a fun hobby!

Uhh I'm sure this is a hot hot take in this fandom, but I personally don't find the whole moon!Varian theory/idea very interesting in terms of narrative or character.

Varian's always worked best as this scrappy kid who used his intellect to solve problems but whose emotions got in the way of that. He's so desperate to impress Raps and the gang that he neglects his giant boiling water tank and almost blows up the village. His emotions towards Cass are what get him running around helping her until the last minute, making his science presentation a disaster. His need to please his father and later his hurt/distrust towards him is what leads him to recklessly experiment with the rocks behind Quirin's back.

This is also probably why he's drastically more competent as a villain, up until the end. He puts aside his emotions in favor of cold, ruthless tactics, and it's only when his emotions once again get the best of him that he's defeated. Varian's intellect has always been his strength, but his emotional immaturity and volatility is what got him to fail.

So then you give a character like that magic power that has all to do with emotions, it doesn't work. There's no reason to show off his intelligence or persevearance, because the rocks are a physical manifestation of power. And while he goes on this journey of growing up and gaining emotional maturity in season 3, he's never in a struggle with his emotions, if anything, he lets them have control more often than not.

Now compare that to Cass, who a) solves problems physically, so the rocks are a perfect extension of that power and b) fucking sucks at emotions. While Varian acts on his emotions constantly, she stuffs them in a box and relies on her anger instead.

Moon!Cass works because the power set it gives her works for her character. It doesn't work for every character, and especially not Varian.

Something i find very interesting abt the tts fandom (mostly in the older fandom, i dont see this As much anymore, but its definitely still There) is that in pretty much every fanwork ever made eugene is always portrayed as this intelligent, mature older brother/father figure who’s just a little silly sometimes while lance is just the “dumb friend”. Hes the one whos always getting into varian’s shit and causing problems and just being That Guy in the friend group.

Meanwhile if you watch the actual show, eugene does just as much (if not Even More, considering the vast difference in screen time between the two) stupid shit as lance does. They Both get into varians shit and Cause Problems. Eugene puts his friends in danger by making stupid decisions on SO MANY OCCASIONS, and, just like with lance, its played off for laughs— and yet you never see this part of Eugene being utilized for fics or art- Eugene is always taken Completely seriously. its always Lance who has to be “that guy”.

Hmmm…..Lets all put our thinking caps on guys……Why do we think that might be…………🤨🤨🤨
