Day 5- Forbidden Love

Obligatory Tags: @our-newdream @autumn-sundrop @seadrreams @the-writer1988

For today’s prompt I decided to do a small drabble! This takes place in an au where Eugene was pardoned, but isn’t allowed to date Rapunzel or be in the palace. For now at least, Frederic wants to try out a few suitors for Rapunzel. It was inspired by this particular concept art, because it’s really cute and I love it XD

~~~~~

“Let me guess, date with Prince Bradley didn’t go like you hoped?” Cassandra asked as she glanced down at the full cup of tea.

“Oh, nono, it was fine!” Rapunzel quickly reassured, “Well..until he called Pascal a salamander.” Ahhh, so that’s why he’d been red all day.

“Could be worse. Your dad could be setting you up with one of the princes from the Southern Isles.” Cass tried to cheer her up.

“I know, but I don’t want a prince from the southern isles. I don’t want any stuffy old prince.” Rapunzel replied, “They’re nice and all, but I….they just don’t understand me. And they’re WAY too interested in my hair. I keep telling them, it doesn’t heal anymore.”

Cassandra frowned, her heart breaking at her friend’s misery. She didn’t like this any more than Rapunzel did, but neither of them had any choice. Rapunzel had to find a suitable prince to marry, and Cassandra had to act like she was in full support of it.

“I just wish I could be with someone who loved me. Not the princess.” Rapunzel sighed, falling down onto her bed. Without even looking, she reached her hand under her pillow and pulled out a small flag. The flag Eugene bought her for her birthday. He’d given her the kindest smile when he handed it to her, and chuckled when she held it up to the light.

“It’s no lanterns, but any true devil may care rogue makes sure to get the birthday girl a present, Blondie.” She recalled him saying.

“Yeah I know, Raps.” Cassandra responded, “But…sometimes life doesn’t always work that wa-“

“Oh, Rapunzel! Let down your hair!” A familiar voice sang out.

“Lance! I told you not to sing!” They heard Eugene mutter. Cassandra and Rapunzel gave each other a look and headed outside to the balcony. To their surprise, they found a familiar pair of faces scaling the tower to Rapunzel’s room, bickering to each other about a dramatic entrance.

“Eugene! Lance!” Rapunzel cried out happily.

“And there’s the someone, right on cue.” Cassandra snarked, “Looks like he was preening a little extra today.”

“You know what Cassandra?” Eugene started to retort, but his voice died in his throat a little as he laid eyes on Rapunzel.

“Hey..” he whispered.

“Hi!” She chirped, her smile shining brighter than the sun. Eugene couldn’t help but find himself smiling back. She looked So beautiful with the sunset behind her like this, practicality bathing her in a halo of light. From up there she looked like an angel. That stunning dark purple dress that brought out her beautiful eyes. Those gorgeous freckles that perfectly painted her rosy cheeks. Short bubble sleeves like the one on that dress complimented her so well. She should wear them more often.

“What brings you and Lance out her?” Rapunzel asked.

“Damaging stone that’s hundreds of years old…and breaking into the palace…again.” Cassandra added dryly.

“Well a little birdie, or rather frog, told Eugene that you had a bad day.” Lance explained.

“So I brought a picnic!” Eugene announced. He moved his arm to grab the basket so he could show her, but then his arm flew right back to the arrow lodged in the wall as soon as he felt himself falling.

“And I’m here for musical ambience!” Lance announced proudly.

“And I’ve also got some candles too!” Eugene added, “And lanterns in case you wanted those instead of candles. But both are very romantic.”

“Exactly how long have you guys been scaling the wall like this with all this stuff?” Rapunzel asked.

“Uhhh….2 hours?” Eugene answered, “But don’t worry, my arms aren’t tired at all.”

Rapunzel barely stopped herself from giggling, “Do you want to climb my hair?”

“…Yes please, this is killing me.” Eugene finally whimpered, looking up at her like a kicked puppy. Rapunzel let the giggle out this time, and let her hair fall down from the balcony. Eugene quickly abandoned the arrows and grabbed on, now climbing much quicker. Rapunzel couldn’t help herself from leaning over the railing as Eugene finally made it to the balcony. Her heart soared as their eyes met and they smiled at each other. He must’ve gotten closer without her realizing, because before she knew it his lips were on hers. She giggled once more and happily kissed him back, her hands rising up to hold his face.

“Hey.” He purred when she pulled away.

“Hi…” she whispered, her cheeks flushing.

Lance chuckled to himself as he saw the scene, walking over to Cassandra as the two love birds pulled their picnic out.

“I doubt the King will ever approve of this.” Cassandra warned him quietly, “He’ll never allow them to be together.”

“Are you gonna say anything, goody two shoes?” Lance teased, but the twinkle in his eyes gave him away that he already knew the answer.

“I won’t say anything if you won’t.” Cassandra said anyway, “Besides, what they do when the king isn’t looking is their business.”

New Dream Appreciation Week: Sun and Moon WIP

Wanted to give a sneak peek of what I’m working on for the first prompt :)

the original sketch was started in 2020, then I came across this photo of the Antennae Nebulas and had an idea for the Sun and Moon prompt! The Antennae Nebulas are a pair of colliding galaxies that are causing intense star formations, resulting in this beautiful explosion of light and color.

You see the connection to New Dream, right? Entities drawn together, light, new life, celestial implications….

Yeah, you get it ;)

Fanart for Forbidden Love by @nerdasaurus1200

∘⟡˖* Do not repost ∘⟡˖*

Obviously used the concept art featured in @nerdasaurus1200's original post as reference, as well as the literal wikipedia photo for facepalm to do Cass and some rock climbing videos for Lance xD

I loved that little story, it's so cute! Features most of my fave characters! Has that beautiful combination of serious politics, humour and beautiful new dream love!

Go check out their fic if you haven't!

Yeah. Just another piece of fanart for NDAW I guess. This one was honestly a lot easier cause I got a reference and obviously inspiration included with the fic!

[kelseyfitzherbert]

i started this drawing last week and then @tangledbea reminded me it was NDAW so it's perfect timing!!

they're planning their wedding idk xD

New Dream Appreciation Week: (Day 5) Forbidden Love | Coworkers Modern AU

Flirting during office hours? Against the company policy. Sharing totally relevant information (“are you free after work?”) with your coincidentally charming colleague? Completely fine.

Didn’t think my Ipad would arrive in time for me to participate, but it did! Hopefully, this sorta fits the prompt even though it’s pretty cliche. I’m also still adjusting to drawing digitally too so yeah, but at least I got one day in. :p

New Dream Appreciation Week Day 2

Did I get up at 5am to finish this before my Pilates class, taking advantage of the my time zone meaning it's still day 2 in most parts of the world? Yes.

Am I going to regret this later? Probably.

Here's a little something I wrote for the hurt/comfort prompt for NDAW.

Title: The First Night (link to Ao3)

Summary: On their first night in the palace of Corona, neither Rapunzel nor Eugene can sleep. So of course, they end up finding each other.

Thanks to @seadrreams, @autumn-sundrop, and @the-writer1988 for hosting!

Also just a note to say that I will definitely be coming back and interacting with other NDAW posts very soon, but I am currently still in the middle of watching RTA for the first time! And while I have definitely managed to spoil some big plot points for myself, I haven't spoiled the finer details of how those play out, and I'm going to try to keep it that way. I should finish Season 2 tonight or tomorrow, and Season 3 by the end of the week.

[mizu-writes-kumo]

Pairing: New Dream, Pre-New Dream

Rating/Warning: T, none

Summary:

Her day was not going like she planned. It was a very simple 5 part plan. Break into the Castle.  Steal the crown.  Escape the castle and the city by going to the woods to shake the guards.  Double cross the Stabbington Brothers.  Profit. Simple. -- New Dream Week - Day 4: Fairytale/Roleswap AU

AN: Here is Day 4, I went with Role Swap, cause it's fun and I love it. Additionally the Moondrop is the flower that heals, and Eugene is a dorky little bean.

Thank you to @seadrreams, @autumn-sundrop, and @the-writer1988 for putting on this week.

“But what about the princess’ boyfriend?”

What if the Stabbingtons took Eugene up on his offer and left Cassandra behind?

Eugene gets hurt and Rapunzel has to save him.

An alternate ending to Cassandra Vs Eugene, a fic written for Day 2: Hurt/Comfort for New Dream Appreciation Week 2023!

Original Announcement

[nerdasaurus1200]

I just realized I forgot a couple headcanons-

After Eugene was resurrected, he was the one to gather all of Rapunzel’s things from the tower so they could being them to the castle. He grabbed her doll, her guitar, her chessboard, her paint supplies, and all three of her books and had Rapunzel sit down so she could take a moment for herself and calm down after the harrowing experience

Once everything settled down after they got back from the dark kingdom, Eugene asked Rapunzel how she dealt with finding out she was a princess cause he was really struggling with being a prince.

New Dream Appreciation Week Day 5: Forbidden Love

∘⟡˖* Do not repost ∘⟡˖*

Find rambles about the drawing and process of getting here under the read more!

Thanks to @autumn-sundrop, @the-writer1988, @seadrreams for organizing this appreciation week!

I like this piece. It's nice.

Anyway, what's going on?

So, forbidden love I was strangely not sure about, until... I remember the brainstorming document for the S1 finale in Two Tangled Sisters.

For anybody who doesn't follow the fic or can't remember, in Before Ever After, Eugene sneaks the princesses out against Frederic's demands. I always intended for this to come back and cause trouble later, specifically in the finale.

Now, what I ended up doing with this was... a tiny bit darker (this is sarcasm some people were temporarily traumatised but they're doing better now), but for the finale all that needed to remain is Rapunzel touched the black rocks and they left Corona. So one of the ideas for this was that Frederic upon finding out of Eugene's 'betrayal' by sneaking the girls out, he had Eugene arrested and sentenced to exile.

Rapunzel visits him often, promising to convince her father to change his mind, but if that ultimately did not work, she'd try to run away with Cassandra to meet Eugene outside.

So this is that AU of an AU turned into a picture that didn't require this added explanation, but I warned you, I said rambles below!

Program: Procreate

Tracked Time: 2 hours and 22 minutes

[dreaming-in-seams]

Me 2 weeks ago: I’ll be trading off driving 2,000 miles next week, I’ll have all that time when I’m not at the wheel to draw for #newdreamappreciationweek !

Me last week: *is tired from moving* *cannot focus on screens in moving car* *cannot draw a straight line in a moving car*

Suffice to say, I have several unfinished WIPs but nothing ready this week, so I will just be enjoying the beautiful work everyone posts!

I’ll post the stuff I have eventually, just very late probably. :/

Stoked to see all the prompts!!! Have a wonderful week you lovely people!
