Crawling out of my cave of inactivity to say I think Adira would love Hornet silksong
varian during qfad: help me please, my dad is dying, you're the only one that can help! *gets kicked out of the castle*
rapunzel: oh my god oh my god oh my god i just turned my back on a desperate friend in need...
rapunzel like one episode later:
This is one of the few things I despise about S1. The conflict between Varian and Raps was great, but poorly set up. There was absolutely no reason Raps couldn't have gone to check on him.
to be fair its implied heavily that rapunzel TRIED to check on him but he was mostly in hiding because the rumors had spread around that he attacked the princess….rapunzel definitely felt super guilty abt it but shes always one for pushing off her emotions until the last minute and trying to avoid them. :( it doesn’t mean she didnt care about varian or was intentionally trying to avoid him but fred was also being pretty strict on her at the time too!!!
I definitely agree that the writers wrote it really badly. I think my issue comes down to the writing being so bad that I didn't believe Rapunzel actually cared about Varian. To me, it felt like she just paid lipservice and talked about being worried, but then she never chose to go check on him herself or send anyone else to do it for her. Her total lack of action made her claims about being concerned come across as really insincere to me. Also, Raps is eighteen; she's a legal adult. Her dad should never have been as strict as he was with her (and in my opinion she had every right to buck against his inappropriate strictness). Plus there was literally nothing stopping her from going to check on everyone in Old Corona after the blizzard was diverted. But instead she just sat at her window, and claimed that she was worried about Varian, without doing anything to make sure he was okay. That's not even in-character for Rapunzel; we know the lengths she would go to to befriend someone like Monty, who actively hates her, but she doesn't go down to Old Corona in-person (or send a trusted member of staff) to make sure Varian is okay? It makes no sense to me.
okay, like i said it is implied she looked for varian. that was my original point of the post lol. but i agree the show portrayed it really badly, im not trying to argue with you at all /gen i honestly just want to talk about how i personally see her character for a minute here, because i really like talking about her LMAO
in regards of it being out of character for her- rapunzel is an adult, yes, but she is also a princess, and its made clear to us from the beginning of the show that fred is protective of her and is fully capable of exerting his power over her. despite rapunzel having every right to rebel fred is still objectively the more powerful one in the dynamic. he is the king, after all. and i suspect he definitely wasn’t happy about rumors of his daughter being attacked so him pushing castle security after his return doesn’t seem unlikely to me.
also, rapunzel is extremely traumatized. for pretty much her entire life gothel coddled her and when you’re coddled like that you kind of learn to just sit back and let things happen…. it’s called learned helplessness and it’s something i relate to a lot in her character. i feel like the incident with varian was like, one of the things that really pushed her to start working through that feeling of helplessness. she’s determined and bullheaded in a lot of situations- eager to rebel even if it gets her into trouble, eager to help people when they’re in danger. but the thing that’s different about varian’s situation in particular is that rapunzel already feels like she’s responsible for it.
she was given a choice, evacuate or help varian. and heres the thing, gothel never gave her a choice about anything. gothel had her entire life planned out from the day she came to that tower to the day she died; and now all of a sudden she has power over an entire kingdom and has to make choices that will affect thousands of people. thats a lot of pressure for someone, especially when up until just a few months ago the most important choice you had to make was whether you were going to make cookies or pie after dinner and what you were going to paint on the walls next.
it’s fucking scary, especially when youve been coddled your entire life and told that you’re naive and worthless, because now you’ve convinced yourself that you cant even trust your own judgement and that everything you do will always be wrong. gaslighting fucks you up, man. and it can sometimes make you look uncaring or insincere because you can’t find it in yourself to stand up and use your voice when you really need to.
rapunzel tries to look for varian. she does what she can. but she’s not as relentless because her decision was what lead him to get dragged away in the first place. shes scared because she thinks whatever she does, she’s only going to make things worse.
rapunzel knows gothel was wrong. she wants to be strong and she wants to help people. but it takes years to push through a mindset that’s been drilled into your head since the day you were born, and as much as disney wants her to be, rapunzel isn’t perfect.
that’s why rapunzel isn’t ready to be queen yet, and that’s why she doesn’t seem as determined to help varian. it’s not because she doesn’t want to, or because she doesn’t care about him. it’s because she’s convinced she can’t.
and that’s not her fault. its the fault of the one who told her she was helpless.
An underrated dynamic is Eugene and Lance saying they're like brothers, meaning Eugene and Rapunzel's kids would probably see Catalina and Angry as cousins. Lance with his college-aged kids that are very invested in the New Dream toddler because it can hold things in its little baby hands
NO LITERALLY. YOU GET IT. YOU GET ME.
Listen. i’m on vacation and i’m in a rental house right now this is literally the first thing that has made me go through the effort of setting up my tablet here because i just needed to doodle these
one of my first ever drawings of my uknighted dream twins was actually with kiera and catalina, though it’s somewhat outdated cuz along with just being Old these are technically my early teen designs for them and i think they’re more like 17 when the twins are born. but this is them playing with baby ryder :3
i also think it’s kinda funny bc like kiera and catalina would be cousins to eugene’s kids but more like aunts to varian’s. but they refuse to ever be called aunts because they say it makes them sound old.
alina loves bugs actually. she chases people with them
she claims now that she never had any ill intentions and just wanted to share her interests, but he also doesn’t remember most of these incidents; and some of them just seemed so deliberate that nobody can be completely sure

i still cant believe the writers of tangled went "okay so there's this group of dedicated and highly trained knights from the dark kingdom who've sworn their life to protecting the moonstone! did they grown up together? have they been knights in the kingdom for years before the brotherhood was officially formed? how old were they when it started? what were their duties outside protecting the moonstone? who knows! anyways, they argue and disagree on some things but they clearly have a very deep and personal history :) oh and also one of them is Varian's dad lol he struck out on his own because he decided he just wanted a calm farm life but he's carried the weight of his past with him for years!! ^^" and then said "oh you want more screentime of them? no <3" and every day it drives me insane
Sleep deprived idea hi hello: rapunzel trying to explain to her parents how she’s polyamorous afraid they won’t understand but they’re just like “oh yeah like us and quirin :)” and she goes. Excuse me
glace. glace glace what is WRONG with you. /affectionate
this ask has haunted me for 4 MONTHS and it still inflicts exactly the same amount of psychological damage every time i reread it. essentially what i am saying here is please do not EVER stop
Love this man. Not drawing him before today is just shameful on my part.
newdream x la belle dame sans merci
character who is sun-coded but not in the traditional ray-of-sunshine way. character who is sun-coded in the sense that they burn hot and bright and powerful, that they're a raging fury of fire and passion, and that maybe, just maybe, they are destroying themselves as they do so.

I did baby brotherhood a little while ago... soooo, how about teenage brotherhood?
This was actually harder than the baby brotherhood, cus at this point they gotta look like they're starting to grow into the adults they become while still being distinguishable from their adult selves
