Rapunzel’s other two designs!

The first is of the “OG/Oldest” Rapunzel. Technically. Basically in The Book of Kings Rudabeh offers for her love Zal to climb her hair in order to sneak into the harem. He declines, because he has brought a rope to climb. I love it so much. I am so happy to have found it. Trying to find an accurate time-period to draw Rudabeh in… let alone try to costume her in that period’s clothing would be… very difficult. However her design is based directly on Persian Miniatures of Rudabeh from the historic published versions of The Book of Kings.

The last design of Rapunzel is this very quiet dark gown… the colors gave me so much trouble for this redesign… anyway when Claire Keane did the concept art for Tangled she says she was inspired by 18th century clothing. I wanted to avoid fashions that resembled my Belle redesigns so I initially wasn’t going to pursue it BUT then I found a portrait from 1776-78 and she had puffy sleeves & tapered long sleeves! So I recreated her gown (kinda) here!

☀︎ an afternoon in the gardens.

rapunzel was already sprawled across the acacius gardens black hair spread throughout the grass, a scroll of hairstyles for the ball clutched in one hand like it was a map to hidden treasure. “you do realize i’m going to trip over someone’s tunic and take out at least three senators, right?” she groans dramatically, swinging her legs off the edge. “my mother says i must stand beside her with poise and nobility, but i’m fairly certain i’ll faint by the appetizer course. or worse—i'll try to talk to someone and forget how human words work!” | @saintplanet

☀︎ a morning in rome.

she had never seen armor shine as the gods had dipped it in firelight and crowned the man within as their champion. the great general acacius : the lion of rome. the kind of figure they whispered about in the gardens when they thought no one was listening, but rapunzel had listened. she knew the stories, read the reports, and now she stood in his presence, sandals brushing the edge of the mosaic floor, hands folded politely before her, trying not to seem too small, too curious, too enchanted by the weight of legend wrapped in bronze and command. he greeted her with a respectful nod, as clarissa’s friend, as if she were just another courtly petal caught in the wind of rome’s affairs. but rapunzel saw him, saw the little ways the general seemed weary. the way he carried the room, even in silence. [ as if the weight of the wars were somehow heavier now. ] she bowed gently, the way clarissa had taught her, but with a spark of her own wonder. “it’s an honor, general,” she says, her voice airy but warm. “i’ve read about your victories, but i think the stories forgot to mention how tall you are.” a beat of quiet. “or how much quieter everything gets when you walk into a room.” | @saintfights

☀︎ the land outside. the world is impossibly wide, and so was his smile. she hadn’t meant to fall so fast : wasn’t that how all the stories began? a bookmark in the fairy tales once gifted by her mother. but there he was, in the flesh — wild in a way that made her laugh, rogue in the way of forgotten princes, and like the tale of a story brought to life. [ something so kind of him. so very kind. ] how he never called her silly for staring at the stars, never flinched when she cried over lanterns or the softness of grass beneath her bare feet. he'd tease, of course [ always ] but he never seemed to stray far from her. as the sky lit up with floating lights, rapunzel leaned closer, her voice hushed in awe. “ they’re even more beautiful than I imagined," she whispers, her fingers clasping around the edge of his. then, quieter, leaned in: “thank you… for bringing me here.” | @saintknights

HIGH IN A TOWER — SHE SITS ALL ALONE.

AISHA'S RAPUNZEL. INSPIRED BY FOLKLORE, MY FRIENDS, DISNEY, & MANY OTHER INSPIRATIONS. VERY OPEN TO OTHER VERSES INCLUDING (1) ASIOAF (2) MODERN (3) MARVEL + SUPERHERO (4) PRIVATE LORE WITH FRIENDS. PRIVATE AND LOW ACTIVITY. GUIDELINES BELOW. AFFILIATED WITH @SAINTKNIGHTS <3

Please note that this blog operates on a mutual follow basis. I prefer to connect and roleplay with accounts I also follow to foster a more engaged and familiar community. If I do not follow you back, please don't take it personally.

This is a private roleplay blog, and all the written content, graphics, and any other media you see here are created solely by me. Please respect this by not reposting or claiming any of my original work as your own. I appreciate your understanding in maintaining the originality of this space.

I will not be writing any sexually explicit material (smut) on this blog. Additionally, if your blog content includes smut or depictions of spiders, I kindly request that you tag these themes clearly in your replies. This helps ensure a comfortable experience for everyone interacting here!

I love duplicates and am very friendly towards most blogs! But for this blog, I will not be engaging with du that portray Rapunzel as a white character. I just had a really shitty experience with some white roleplayers over fancasting Rapunzel and I'm just not comfortable seeing it. I also rarely follow those in the animanga rpcs because of past experiences.

My interpretation of Rapunzel is built upon the common fancast (basically fanon) that Rapunzel is South Asian. While I myself am not South Asian, I am dedicated to portraying this respectfully and accurately through thorough personal research and by actively consulting with my close friends who have South Asian heritage. I appreciate your understanding and respect for this creative choice.

Ultimately, I am here to have fun and enjoy the process of collaborative storytelling through roleplay. My aim is to create engaging narratives and connect with others who share this passion in a positive and respectful environment. Please do not be weird. That would suck for both of us!
