#disney's tangled

[jakebakingbaconpancakes]

Tangled treating its audience by not leaving them confused or being omitted from anything for the entirety of the movie. We are told and made perfectly aware of each of the character's motives, and the plot twists are more or less foreshadowed.

Right from the very beginning of the movie, we know Gothel is the villain of the story, yet Rapunzel doesn't know that. We see her being manipulated and deceived by Gothel so it's very satisfying to see when Rapunzel finally stood up to her.

Scary-looking ruffians? Actually big softies singing about their dreams five seconds later.

Even when Rapunzel thought Eugene took the crown and left her, they could've excluded Eugene's perspective from us and left us heartbroken as Rapunzel. But they didn't.

Eugene dying was foreshadowed in the very first line of the movie, "This is the story of how I died."

Rapunzel's tear reviving Eugene is a plot twist the audience and the characters didn't know about, unless the audience has known about the original Brothers' Grimm story of Rapunzel healing her prince with her tears.

And if the audience did know about the original story, they'd know Flynn Rider being a thief is a twist, and it's a twist that his real identity is actually Eugene Fitzherbert. Though from observant audiences they can tell Eugene wasn't the rogue thief he's trying to make himself out to be. (And someone's reaction on Youtube immediately knew Flynn Rider wasn't his real name).

Anyway, Tangled is a story that started with the sun and the audience aren't left in the dark.

Saw this tweet and was like "haha you said 13 years" because I thought it was an exaggeration like when you say something like "this thing is a thousand years old" but then I did the math in my head and felt my bones turning into dust in real time

Another - you guessed it - limited color challenge, but this time of Rapunzel. ♥ It's incredible what you can do with three random markers, isn't it? But the colors really suited her and I loved how they created that perfect, golden hue for her hair. *_* (As always, keep reading below to see the pens I used, as well as a close-up photo).

PEAK romance is that scene in Disney's Tangled when they are on the boat getting ready to watch the floating lanterns and 'I See The Light' is being sung and they just...slowly look at each other, enamoured by how the lanterns light up each others faces and realise they are in love with the other 💘

anyway i'm just so overwhelmed by it everytime and my hopeless romanticism increased tenfold ever since 🥺🥰💌💞🩷

Anyone else ever noticed that Rapunzel's fake mom only kissed her hair and never her forehead or a cheek? She only loved her usefulness, not actually her. The tragic characteristics of an extremely narcissistic mother.

I am probably late to the party...

but I just discovered there's a pro-shot of the Disney Cruise Lines Tangled Musical on youtube.

That was a fun way to spend an hour on a Sunday evening.

"Flynn Rider, Wanted Man" is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the week, though.

"What do I say to her?" Cassandra asked the Enchanted Girl as she walked back to where her mother would be waiting for her.

"Don't tell her you found a piece of the scroll." The girl instructed. "Not yet at least. Once she's proven that she can be trusted, then you may show her. if you wish."

Cassandra nodded. When she got back to the spot, she saw her mother was already there, sitting on a stone, looking bored.

"There you are!" Gothel snapped. "I don't know who you think you are, young lady, but its rude to leave without telling someone."

Cassandra was about to apologize, but then she saw the Enchanted Girl float silently next to Gothel, shaking her head at Cass.

"Mother, of all the places to take me to practice my power, why specifically did you bring me here?" Cass asked.

Gothel rolled her eyes. "You already asked me that. I told you-"

"You didn't really tell me anything." Cass declared. "The closest thing to an answer was that this tree was hundreds of years old, but you didn't tell me anything important."

Gothel scowled at her daughter. "Cassandra, you watch your tone! I am your mother, and you will not speak to me like that!"

The tone she used, it was one Cassandra was very familiar with, ever since she was a child, whenever she acted out of line, at least when her mother said she did, her mother would use it to, as Gothel would say, 'remind her of place.' For a moment, Cass felt herself shrink a bit, ready to apologize and beg forgiveness.

But her Enchanted friend wasn't going to let her. "Don't let her control you like this again. You are stronger than she ever wished to be. And she knows it too."

"Well?" Her mother asked impatiently. "Aren't you going to apologize to your mother for hurting her like this?"

"Hurting you?" Cassandra whispered. As the phrase repeated in her mind, something inside the Dark Princess snapped. Years of trying so hard to gain her mother's favor seemed to crash within her soul.

Years of feeling she was not good enough as Gothel's daughter, years being second best, if she was even that, in Gothel's eyes, years of being punished for things she didn't do by Gothel.

"Why should I?" Cassandra asked. "What have you ever done to deserve an apology?"

Gothel glared at her daughter. "How dare you?" Then she marched towards her daughter. "Do not forget that I am your mother, I have made countless sacrifices for you, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't even have this power."

"This wasn't because of you!" Cassandra pointed out. "Princess Rapunzel was the one made the Moonstone easy to take, and I grabbed it myself, no thanks to you!"

"And who led Rapunzel to that chamber in the first place?" Gothel reminded. Then she raised her hand. "Everything I did, it was to make sure you could be as powerful as you could be, and this is the thanks I get? You are nothing but a spoiled little brat!"

Just as Gothel was ready to backhand Cassandra, the younger woman grabbed her mother's wrist before she could hit her. Gothel's eyes grew wide as her daughter had her wrist in a painfully tight grip and glared at her.

"Everything you did, it was for yourself!" Cassandra realized. "The only reason you want to help is so you can use the moonstone's power through me! Everyone was right about you."

Before Gothel could get another word in, her daughter shoved her hard to the ground. "Growing up, I've heard whispers and rumors about you. But I ignored them, I even stood up for you because you were my mother and I thought you had a shred of decency within you that they didn't see. But know I see you are as selfish, vain, and manipulative as everyone said you were."

Then she took out her piece of the Demanitus scroll and smiled at it. "Well, it doesn't matter anymore. Because I don't need your approval anymore. Because now with the moonstone, I can be the person I was destined to be."

When Gothel noticed the scroll piece in Cassandra's hand, and she shrunk into the ground and raised her hand in a feeble attempt to defend herself. "Cassandra, sweetie, please! I'm your mother! You wouldn't kill your own mother, would you?!"

Cassandra glared at Gothel. "Of course not. As angry as I am at you, I could never kill you. Besides I need you alive if I am to unlock the power of the moonstone. But first, let me show you what I found."

"I hope everything's going alright." Rapunzel said as she and Adira stood in the hallway.

Once they had returned to the castle with Eugene, Adira had said it was time for Eugene to talk to his father. Rapunzel didn't need her to explain what she meant by that. She wanted to be there with him, but Adira insisted that this was something Eugene and Edmund had to go through themselves, without the others.

"No need to worry, Princess." Adira assured. Though if she was being completely honest, Adira herself was a bit worried about the pair, worried that they wouldn't go through with talking. But she had to believe that they would. "We both know they need this."

Rapunzel nodded. "I know, I just don't feel right leaving Eugene to deal with this alone."

Adira smiled at her. "That kind of you to care, but this is something they need to sort out themselves." Adira's smiled then turned teasing. "A pity the engagement is broken off. You two seem like you'd be a wonderful couple."

Rapunzel blushed and looked at her feet, earning a chuckle from the older woman.

Then they heard the door open and saw Eugene and Edmund come out of the room. They could see their eyes were a bit red and they could tell that they washed their faces before exiting, but there were still hints of tear stains on their faces. But their faces also showed no pain, but peace.

"Are you two okay?" Rapunzel asks.

Eugene smiles at her. "Don't worry, Blondie. We're okay."

"I won't speak for my son, but I certainly feel better than I have in a while." The King added.

Adira and Rapunzel smiled at the men.

Then King Edmund's face grew serious. "But there is still so much that needs to be done. Bring everyone to the War room. We have a lot to talk about."

"Yes, your Majesty." Adira replied. "I'll gather Quirin and Hector."

"Rapunzel and I will get Varian and Lance." Prince Eugene added.

"What's going on?" Rapunzel asked as the four scattered.

"We're going to find Cass." Eugene answered.

"Thank you all for meeting here." King Edmund started as everyone was in the War Room.

"Good to see you back on your feet, Sire." Hector declared.

Edmund smiled at him. "Thank you, old friend." Then he frowned. "But we have important matters to discuss. I have been informed that while the Kingdom has taken some damage, reconstruction has already begun and has been going well. Correct?"

Quirin nods. "Yes, sir. So far, we've been able to divide our resources to rebuild homes and other necessary infrastructure. However, I must admit that we might be spreading ourselves a bit thin."

"With all the construction in town, we don't have enough resources to restrengthen the castle." Hector explain. "And while many have recovered from the numerous rock attacks, we're still don't have enough people to help with reconstruction or to protect us from potential threats."

"Can't we ask Corona for help?" Lance asked. "The Queen seems like she'll be willing to help if she was willing to give us the flower and the scroll piece. And the King's probably calmed down by now."

"I'm willing to ask." Rapunzel offered.

"Thank you, Princess Rapunzel." King Edmund said. "We'll keep that in mind, but for now, let's talk about the reason I called for this meeting in the first place. I might have an idea where Cassandra could've gone."

"How do you know?" Rapunzel asks.

"I admit, I am not completely certain, but it is still a good place to start." Edmund admitted. "The Great Tree."

"I think I read about that while researching Demanitus." Varian comments. "You think she'd go there because of his connection to that tree?"

Edmund nods. "It is possible. It would be an ideal place for her to go if she wants to learn more about the moonstone and how to control its power."

"Then we should head there as soon as we can." Eugene declares.

"We can't be too rash, my son." Edmund insists. "As I said, I am not completely certain she would go there. And as Hector and Quirin point out, we're low on capable workers, so we'll need all we can here. I propose sending a small party to see."

"Well, I insist on going to." The Prince says. "Cass is my sister."

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Edmund nods. "I'll send Hector to go with you." Then he turns to the warrior. "I know I can trust you aid my son."

Hector nods.

"Sir, I insist on going as well." Rapunzel speaks up.

Edmund didn't seem too sure. "Princess-"

"Please, your majesty. I want to help." Rapunzel begs. "And since I am the Sundrop, I might be able to help her in case she's in danger because of the moonstone's power."

Edmund was quiet for a moment, thinking about it.

"I agree with Rapunzel." Prince Eugene adds. "She's more capable than you think she is. Trust me."

The King looked his son, then the princess again. Eventually, he nods. "Very well, then the three of you will go to the Great Tree and see if Cassandra is there. You'll leave in 2 hours, that will give you all enough time to prepare. And Princess, if you're willing, I need you to help me write a letter to Corona to ask for help."

Rapunzel nods. "Of course, I'll head to office and begin writing." Then she leaves the room.

Edmund smiles at Eugene. "A wonderful young woman."

Eugene smiles back. "She certainly is."

"Once we get this situation under control, we might have to plan your wedding again." Edmund comments.

"DAD!" Eugene screeches, his face red in embarrassment. Then he storms out of the War Room while the others laugh/chuckle.

"What did I say?" Edmund asks in confusion.

(I have put off this story for far too long. Hopefully, I'll be able to get back to writing and completing this. Wish me luck and hope I post another chapter soon!)

An older Fanart of Varian, from another of my favorite fandoms: "Tangled the Series", also known as "Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure". That adorable, little alchemist boy immediately stole my heart the moment he first appeared - which is unsurprising though, considering he's voiced by the awesome Jeremy Jordan.
