Those sort of storms are an annual thing in my homeland; across the ocean from Corona. Particularly in the plains region. Though the same atmospheric conditions that cause the green sky also tend to bring damaging hail and tornadoes with it.

"Hmm... I wonder what makes the lightning burn green. Maybe it's the elements in the atmosphere? Or the heat of the bolt? I'll have to read into it... But I'd still like to see it in person!"

Hey, all! Giving you a heads up that I'm going to be out of town from May 16th - May 25th. I'll have my laptop with me, but no guarantees that I'll be available/up for writing at that time.

On top of that, this is my first ever solo long-distance drive (~1100 miles, one way), so I'm pretty distracted in the weeks leading up to my departure as I make sure everything is ready to go (both in the packing sense, and in making sure my car is fit to travel (it is)). I'll write/answer asks as I am able, but we'll see, and no promises.

Have you ever seen a severe thunderstorm? Like, the sort that turns the sky green?

Rapunzel's eyes opened wide. "No...?" she said hesitantly, a spark of excitement in her eyes. "Is that a thing? Where can I see one?!"

Muses are fickle. Reblog if you understand that your partner’s muse can sometimes wonder off for a while, but that you will still be willing to write with them when they come back.

perhaps one of the funniest things happening on twitter right now is Brazillian/Portugese fans of Tangled finding out Eugene's name in English is, in fact, Eugene

New Dream but I drew them on my phone

My finger is sore but my heart is full

i've always thought palm kisses are one of the sweetest kisses you could give - they're chaste, but feel very intimate. so i like to imagine the fist time Raps sprung one on Eugene he short-circuited a little bit i hope u enjoy the doodle!

I enjoy the doodle more than life itself right now. You really made my day with this amazing piece of fanart and headcanon, so thank you. ;u;

What is the coolest thing you've seen a friend do?

"Does Eugene coming back to life count as a cool thing I've seen a friend do? Because that was pretty cool."

I haven't sewn anything in a long time, but last night I altered a store-bought poncho thing into a little mini cloak for Ren Faire this weekend, and it felt really good to be creatively productive. ☺️

Hey Bex, I hope you're doing well. I've been thinking about how the tower has a functioning sink next to the kitchen (there's a brief moment in When Will My Life Begin where Rapunzel is washing something I think). My question is how exactly does the tower get running water? Are there pipes that runs through the tower into the river below or is there a pulley system where Rapunzel has to basically bring the water up with a bucket?

Well, there is a stream that runs right by the tower.

Also, the sink you mention has a water pump!

That black thing isn't a faucet, and that swoopy handle on it is the pump. These were common before indoor plumbing was a thing*. You pump the handle and it creates a vacuum in the pipe (so, yes, there is at least one pipe running from this pump to the stream) and expels the air and sucks the water up. (Think of it as an industrial straw.) Indoor water pumps over the kitchen sink can still be found in historically preserved houses from the 1800s.

That porcelain sink is probably removable, and Rapunzel would likely fill it, then transfer the water where it needed to go (a bucket for mopping or a tub for washing her hair/laundry -- chances are very good that she used the basin to sponge bathe on a daily basis rather than filling an entire tub for that purpose. This was very common practice before indoor plumbing was common. But that basin is obviously not big enough to wash her hair/do laundry).

*Note that at the vague, hand wavey time period Tangled takes place in, it's not impossible to think that the palace may have been retrofitted for indoor plumbing at this point. The series credits Varian with bringing hot running water to the palace, but that's hot running water. That means he perfected his boiler system that he was working on in "What the Hair?!"

(Sonari) A 14.6ft tall, metal dragon was casually wandering in the forest beside Old Corona. She could hear civilization nearby but she was preoccupied with mimicking the vocalizations of wildlife like she were an oversized lyrebird. Her black scales and neon purple feathers were a stark contrast to the greens and browns of the trees around her.

Rapunzel had been visiting the Snuggly Duckling, which was approximately halfway between the island capital and Old Corona -- maybe a little less -- when she decided to wander around the forest instead of going home. You never knew what you could find right in your own backyard if you bothered to take a moment and pay attention!

And so she was wandering that cool spring day, Max carrying her and Pascal on her shoulder, listening to birds and the calls of other forest creatures. And to think! Once upon a time, she'd been terrified of the animals that lurked in the shadows of the forest! Now, that seemed laughable!

Then she heard several calls from several animals, all coming from the same direction. "Did you guys hear that?" she wondered. Strange... you didn't usually hear foxes, larks and deer all talking to one another like that...

Curious, she urged Max to followed the sounds, and what they found made all three of their eyes open wide. Quickly, Rapunzel looked around for more dragons (perhaps Little Big Guy?), but this one didn't seem the same type. For one thing, it was made of metal. Was it actually... an Ingvaarian machine?

Looking around again, this time for a person, she called out, "Um... hello?"
