On Rapunzel’s Return

I don’t like that Cassandra is Gothel’s daughter (and I still think it might be some kind of fake memory Zhan Tiri put inside her head).  I’m still in doubt about the whole Frozen vibe of that song... And Cass opening the door and all that.  Also didn’t like the final sequence. I KNOW IT’S A SHOW FOR KIDS, but after all the powerful stuff we had, It kind of seemed... off. A little too childish. I mean, I like the references and New Dream cuteness, but overall, meh. BUT

ABOVE ALL

Good God, the necklace. That huge golden necklace completely ruined Eugen’s new outfit for me. He reminds me of a hip hop singer, which is so not him. (Nothing against hip hop singers, ok?)

Not that he’s less charming, of course. It’s more like, if this was Ocean’s Eleven, in season 2 he was George Clooney, and now he is Brad Pitt.

On a 1-9 Rapunzel scale, how do you feel about the lack of a SINGLE GODDAMN PROMO?

[nodenied]

please, please do that. will you post the link on your tumblr, @starxapple ? I’m so desperate about this ridicule time they decided to air the episode, you have no idea. 

actually, I’m full of bad feelings, and that’s not cool. I’m sad because the show it’s getting to an end; I’m angry at Disney for not properly publicize it; I’m disappointed that the show wasn’t a bigger hit, due to lack of publicity and wrong time schedules and etc.; I’m scared because the time schedule may not allow me to watch the episodes for a while, and I’ll have to run away spoilers; I’m anxious as hell to know what’s Cassandra’s deal... 

Gotta keep in mind the show is supposed to make me happy, to make me have fun. Right? Right. 

okay i figured out a decent way to screen record so although the future of the discord streaming new episodes at midnight is unclear (we are trying our best), i will be posting a download link for the new episode probably around 1AM PST. (granted the episodes go up at midnight as they used to) that gives me time to capture the video and then upload it to my google drive and post it!

ill do this for everyone but i only ask that ppl let me make the first varian ‘reveal’ gifset HAHA i know its silly but it means a lot to me that i make his first gifset!!! OTL ill try to do it immediately after uploading the episode even if it means i have to stay up til 3am and then get up with my daughter at 7am OTL thats life

Thoughts on Tangled the Series

Today I was thinking about why I decided to collect Tangled. I’m a natural collector, I love to collect things – once upon a time, I had a big Aladdin collection (I have a thing for locked up princesses and thieves, as you can see) – and the thing is… it’s the series. I fell deeply in love with Tangled because of the series (which I’m gonna call Tangled the Series, but I know it’s also Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure).

I already liked it a lot, don’t get me wrong; I see the light is my wedding song, and I already had quite a few dolls and figurines, including the 17’ bride. But I didn’t love it.

That is, until the day I found out there was going to be a TV show, showing Rapunzel’s life outside the tower, getting adapted to the world. This made me so happy! And every detail I read made me even more excited. The care about the art, the same voices, the songs, everything!

And above all, for the first time ever, a Disney Princess would be “real”.

She was going to be angry, and make mistakes, and make a fool of herself and have fights with her boyfriend. She wasn’t going to be the perfect model of princess I have dealt with since I was born. Not that I don’t like the princesses as they are, but I always wanted to see life after happily ever after. Not Aladdin or Hercules or The Little Mermaid style. Those series are cool, but they don’t really tell a story, it’s just a lot of different stories. I wanted more!  

And damn, did I get it. So much more. What an amazing show. Worthy of the amazing movie it was based on.

So, there: this series made a 30-something lady into a collector and a die-hard Tangled fan. So, why it’s not a success with kids as well? It’s a cartoon, right? It’s on Disney Channel!

Well, I don’t know if this is a fact, but the way I see it, Tangled the Series is not really for kids. Some amazing mind created this story with a lot of layers and so much depth that it is more suited for teenagers and adults, and for some miracle Disney accepted it and decided that is should be put in production.

However, because it’s about a Disney Princess, people immediately assume it’s for little girls. And the girls like the show… to a point. But I think they were expecting a little more princess life, and in this sense, they are much better with Barbie or Sofia.

The Rapunzel in the show is all but a classic princess. Not only she’s barefoot and travels in a caravan, she has some serious issues to work on ��� doubt, self-doubt, uncertainty, betrayal, fear, anger, coexistence, injustice… and some crazy magic powers that don’t heal or create beautiful snow or are incrusted in a beautiful stone connected to the princesses of the past or to the sea. No: her “magic” is pointy black rocks that bring destruction and a huge hair that spreads around her head like menacing snakes when she wakes up. It’s ugly, dangerous magic that we don’t usually see connected to a princess.

I kind of got lost somewhere, but it’s just that there is so much to say about this show that I end up getting too excited.

In a nutshell, I love Tangled the Series and if Disney’s purpose with it was to sell merchandise, well, I did my part. However, I think this show deserves more love from Disney; a different kind of love. A different approach, different time slots. Try to get teens and adults into it, guys. I know we are not the main audience, and we usually don’t buy merch, but this show is such a treasure, it deserves more recognition. Spread the word, share this gift of empowerment and good storytelling.

And just give us a date for season 3. Pretty please!

(long text. so annoying. If you read this far, you are a dear <3. Also, sorry, English is not my first language)

Yep, still re-watching everything looking for references. Or some funny coincidences, who knows. 

Here, in Challenge of the Brave, she is presented as “The Iron Handmaiden, Cassandra”. Iron Hand? Uh? Uh? Perhaps her injured hand is now superstrong? 

(Eugene would be jealous. “Can you imagine the possibilities of it?”) 

(Also, Rapunzel healed Eugene’s hand with one incantation and hurt Cassandra’s with the other. Do this mean anything? I guess it means I’ve been watching too much Tangled.) 

[nodenied]

you see? I N S A N E !

also, I’d love to know all these details you get to know for being friends with the crew. It’s so awesome! 

Crows. Not very common in Corona. Are they watching Eugene? 

(Really, Ricky’s quest is making me I N S A N E)

[nodenied]

also, I didn’t remember how painful it was to watch Quest for Varian. 

[nodenied]

I don’t follow many things about the series, so I don’t know if things have been pointed out a bazillion times before, sorry. But does this key looks a little like Zhan Tiri? 

[nodenied]

I’m also rewatching all season 1 because of Ricky’s Quest, and decided to start with Painter’s Block because... well, because it’s in this episode that Eugene says “Rapunzelocity”, which is the name of my blog. Could this obvious image of Cassandra painting the moon be what Ricky meant? Has this been pointed out? Well, I’ll keep on looking!!

[nodenied]

hey, it’s also on “Painter’s block”

Ricky’s Quest is driving me nuts, so assuming the Great Expotations clue is valid, the first painting we see is this statue with a person leaning on short column thing. Okay, let’s see where this goes.

When they are cleaning the corridor we see this painting again. There may be something here!

Now Varian is cleaning another version of this same painting in another corridor.

And there’s another one right next to it!? There are four! versions of this one painting. 

This has to be it, right? But then I noticed something else….

Wait a minute, there is that doorway painting above Ariana’s painting. I saw that before somewhere.

That same doorway with the curved road and tree. Zhan Tiri is big on trees and this one is a bent one. 

Thanks a lot Ricky and friends. Here are two possibilities for the clue to season 3: A statue or a doorway.

remember that time when Eugene confronted the freakin’ KING to say that keeping Rapunzel locked in a tower was an absurd? and we were like WOOOOW. seems like ages ago. and we’ve been WOWED so many times since then. 

[nodenied]

“Eugene, son.” “What?” “I think Hamuel is spending too much time with Rapunzel. He’s painting. That’s not right.” “Because...?” “... He should be drawing!” (ಠ_ಠ)

Get to know me - [1/10] favourite pairings  ⇢  Rapunzel and Eugene Fitzherbert (Tangled) 

“Eugene, is all this everything you ever dreamed it would be?” “Rapunzel you are my dream, so as long as you’re with me that answer will always be yes.” 

Happy 7th anniversary Tangled 🖤

Also not available on Google Play Store anymore. Doesn’t even show up when you search for it. 

Hey, guys, for those who purchased the Season 2 soundtrack on iTunes or through Apple Music, I was listening to mine, when for some reason, the Buddy Song is nowhere to be found on my playlist. It only says that the song is not available. Anyone else having this problem?
