WEIRDLY mean-spirited imo. probably not intentional but it doesn’t sit right with me at all#‘fck dem kids fck doing ANYTHING different lets just put the same exact characters on the same exact ship because thats superior’#it didnt even get the style refresh disco’s (and snw’s) enterprise got!!!!#3. this was literally the most obvious route this could go like come onnnnnnnnnnn could you imagine how much extra story#could’ve fit into this season if every episode wasnt half dedicated to nostalgia jerkoff LMAO.#ugh sorry anyways. last one next week!!!!!#f: star trek#trek: shows#trek: picard#picard spoilers#also like. at least we could all agree that s2 was bad LMAO#everyone watching this who is like ‘BEST TREK IN DECADES’ uhhhhhhhhh what are you watching and can i watch too??

Cassandra the nun. Her worst fear.
As relieved in the episode 'What the Hair', Cassandra is terrified of the thought of being sent away to a convent, something that almost becomes a reality in TSOtSD, when she is taken of duty. I just thought it would be fun to show her off as she could have appeared as a nun.
Now this might be a kind of foreshadowing, if you ask me: I don't know for certain as season 3 has yet to arrive, but after learning of her betrayal in the end of season 2, I have a strong feeling that the convent eventually will become her fate, as a kind of punishment for her actions.
The first figure is her as a novice. I have taken a look at costumes like Sound of Music, where Maria as a novice shows off her hair slightly under the hood, and the nuns show nothing. I don't know how nuns would appear in Tangled, so I have just taken the liberty of designing a nun costume myself based on pictures I've found all over the internet. This is something I am thinking of using in a future fanfic that I have yet to write, but it's not gonna be about Cassandra in general.
Do you see her hand in the novice costume? It's black, and that's why I have given her dark gloves to use as a non. She's using it on both hands though, as it would look weird with just one glove. To avoid any religion signs, I have just given her a simple pendant it straighten the impression, and a pair of keys to indicate how well she eventually could do it in time. Keys are a symbol of responsibility and respect, something she wants.
I have a feeling she eventually in the future would have made it rather well as a nun. I can imagine her non-nonsense attitude would be rather welcome in a strict convent and that she would have used this chance to get herself a position where she could boss around and command all she wants.
To be honest, (I know allot of Cassandra fans out there would probably hate me for saying this, but everyone has a right to have an opinion of their own, which I will respect nevertheless...) I can't understand what's so great this character. To be honest, she was the main reason I didn't watch Tangled series in the first place. When I heard there was gonna be a series about Tangled, and that Rapunzel would have this tough-as-nails handmaiden as a best friend, I thought to myself, screw it, I'm not watching that.
Yet I ended up watching parts of it, for other reasons. But I'm not too satisfied with it. But that's snot what I am to discuss here.
About Cassandra, alongside Eugene and Rapunzel. The whole thing about the tree of them as a best-friend-trio through the series, when there were so many other characters that had even more potential (let me not exclude a certain alchemist, some have probably guess the reason why I watch some parts of it at least, or even adoring Lance, and even the Pub Tugs) the constant bickering between her and Eugene, and not to mention her anger issues and respectless behavior adn the simple fact that she HAD to be a tomboy(What is it about girls have to be tomboys and so darn strong now, I'm so sick of that, I mean look at Rapunzel, she nails being a girly girl, a cool girly girl). I just don't get why Rapunzel looks so much up to her like mentioned in Challenge of the Brave.
And in the same episode, where she laments about not being respected and only being Rapunzel's servant in everyone's eyes; I can honestly understand why she's not respected; I have yet to see her show respect and care for other people by herself. How can she then expect respect from others? She seems so obsessed with her own ambitions and goals that she is blind to other people around her. That's at least my impression of her. Like the way she just uses Varian in Great Expotations, taking on the honorable job of protecting Doctor St. Croix, telling Varian in the last minute that she can't help him anymore, giving him only five minutes to find another assistant, even though Rapunzel pointed out to her that she had some place she needed to be (btw, I'm giving Rapunzel a boo along with Monty for not confronting Cass harder about this. She should have!). And we all know how well that went. And in Goodbye and Goodwill, she makes such a big deal about being a good fighter and how it's fun to play hurtful games, not to mention that she thinks fun is something like making Owl bother Lance, seen in Freebird.
During the second season, she also develops a hate towards Adira, and I just see some reasons; jealousy is the main reason. Rapunzel starts to trust Adira over Cassandra, and Adira seems to outbattle Cassandra in Outside the Corona Walls. I can imagine this does something to her self esteem. In Rpunzel, she finally found someone who views her like she wants to be seen, and when suddenly Rapunzel starts to trust herself, Cass realizes he's not needed anymore. A crack in her pride. Amd whem she tells Rapunzel she should have trusted her to use the spear of Demanitus to save them rather than Rapunzel using the dark incarnation. I can see Rapunzel's need to do what she did; she felt a responsebility towards them all and felt a need to do what she thought was best. But again it seems like Cassandra is just out to proove herself, lie in her solo Waiting in the Wings. It wasn't about Rapunzel loosing trust in her in my opinion, things just got out of hand. And Cass ended up with a black hand. We don't know if she could have saved the day on her own, but just the whole thing of her thinking so high of herself just makes me hate her more.
It's kind of awkward that makes such a big deal about giving Rapunzel her freetime, but later promise her father to look after her, and becomes upset when she tell her she can manage on her own and don't need her to watch over her anymore. I know that people will say, yes she is underestimated by her strict father who don't want her to follow her dream because he wants to protect her and holds her down, but he's doing what he thinks is best for her as King Fredric does for Rapunzel. And he does give her dress in the end of season 1, so she shouldn't complain.
Don't know what people think. I didn't actually expect such a long speach about her when I made this picture, I just couldn't stop.
