The new clothes from season 2 are really cool. Also it’s @agostaini ‘s birthday and she really likes Tangled, so I thought it’d be nice to draw Rapunzel

❝ well at least let me HELP you, varian. you don’t want to do something you’ll regret. scientists and alchemists need help too right? ❞

“ no. well, yes, i guess. i mean, i don’t know. this is my problem to set right. if i’m not enough to do this, on my own, i’m not enough for my dad. besides, what could you do ?  ”

a hand reaches up to rub the back of his neck.  “ guess that means, i mean, you’re saying you’re kind of in the same --- the same boat, huh ?  ”

                                   i  thought  i  did  my  best                                 ( it was nearly good enough )                                   but, all that effort, I guess…                                  it didn’t add up to very much

Not-so-friendly reminder that Rapunzel is not a weak female character but a victim of 18 years of systematic emotional abuse who ultimately learns to stand up for herself but is still very much haunted by the profound impact of the aforementioned abuse and if you still think she’s just another cookie cutter princess and not a strong woman for having to endure the effects of said abuse and learning to live her own life despite the aftermath of Gothel’s treatment of her then you can get the hell out of my living room

But back then, in those first days, I was so alone that every day was like eating my own heart.

I’m like everybody else: weak, full of mistakes, but basically good.
