⌈ ⚔ ⌋ BLOOD BOILS WITHIN HER VEINS , white hot anger sparking about the opal embedded over her chest. even the air between her fingers crackles menacingly —— UNCONTROLLABLY. always that lack of control , no matter how hard she reaches for it. she doesn’t want a reunion like this , NOR ANY REUNION. not with her. a woman she barely knows , yet recognizes all the same. the same head of thick , dark curls. the same piercing eyes. the same condescending look cassandra feels she’s seen her whole life , calling to her deepest SUBCONSCIOUS no matter who the eyes truly belonged to. the scene of that night still wedges itself firmly at the forefront of her mind , holes pierced in her innermost defenses. leaving them RAW AND BLEEDING. the opal only responds in kind , electricity loud over the rush of blood in her ears , over the way her breath comes in sharp pants.

“ is this the part where you pretend you care ? ” cassandra snaps , venom dripping from pink lips. brows crease hard , narrowing her gaze into angry slits. her body feels so WEAK. at this point , she cannot tell whether it’s the adrenaline fueled rage , or her body has simply edged dangerously toward collapse from countless hours grasping at her newfound powers. nevertheless , cassandra clenches her fists hard. her left finds the nearest rock and drags herself up. it feels ice cold within her palms , yet the heat within her remains. “ you’re— YOU’RE DEAD. it’s not like you’re real anyway. ” gothel can’t be anything but a figment of her imagination. stress and anger and HURT given form.

* MEME : ACCEPTING . ⟶ @safewithme * ☾

“Pretend to care, pretend to be real, pretend to be dead---” Gothel’s bright emerald eyes begin to dull from their ethereal glow, like the incantation has reached its close. “Darling, all of life is pretend!” Her arms splay as if she is opening a door or curtain, her feet rooted in the ground like a tree’s trunk, knees locked just so. Strength is important to both of them. It’s important that Gothel make her point, even if she’s not really here to make it.

“Pretend to be beautiful, pretend to be strong, pretend to be young, pretend to be wise....” Gothel drones onward. She could make a million examples out of the both of them---and life really has, as it does for all witches, all women who are not fit to be Princesses, who do not want to be trapped in the life of a sidekick or pet lizard.

“It doesn’t matter---what we try to be, or what we want to be. People like us, my dear. We’re not meant for the starring roles.” Hopefully speaking in her daughter’s own language will get through to her---’waiting in the wings’ indeed.

“You’re no more meant to be the hero than you are the villain---and we both know you don’t want to do this. So why pretend? Just be yourself. That sweet, little girl that used to cuddle with me to sleep---That’s what you want. That’s what Rapunzel wants. Is it really all so hard as you’re making it out to be, my sweet little gemstone?”

#mondstarke #( ic: mother knows best. )#this took me forever lmfao

so i’m watching kh3 right, and i get to mother gothel, and here are a few quick character notes that are gonna be put into their own big posts at some point later:

-gothel is nice to strangers, overly so, until she realizes she has no use for them. then she discards them.

-gothel DOES touch rapunzel, her cheeks and face, her shoulders, her back, it’s not just her hair. this is a misconception i had because there is a lot of symbolism with her going ‘i love you most’ and kissing the hair, etc, but gothel DOES show physical affection for rapunzel in other ways.

-gothel loses her heart to darkness when she says the infamous ‘fine. now i’m the bad guy.’ line. this is true to my hc, where she really, really wants to be... not a good person, not a good mother, but better than her mother was. she doesn’t want to be BAD. she’s not a villain in her own eyes, she’s a WITCH, and there’s a difference in it, a freedom, a confidence, a love for herself that can be construed as selfishness, a destructiveness that can be construed as killing instead of evolving---but to her its part of being her truest self. not good, not bad, just a witch, a natural part of the world order.

-when she has to face the music--- that she’s the BAD GUY, that she’s a BAD MOTHER, that she’s a BAD PERSON, she gives up hope on the fantasy life she’s made for herself and rapunzel.

-if you think about it, ‘mother gothel’ was a rather elaborate ruse if she never cared about rapunzel at all. pretending to be her mother was unnecessary from the start if she just wanted her hair. but she wanted to be kind, she wanted to be elegant, and charming----even if she was coarse and rude and rough around the edges, naturally so.

-rapunzel is her family, and the darkness in kingdom hearts is shown again and again to be ‘severed connections’ / ‘loneliness.’ she loses her heart to darkness because rapunzel makes her give up the only connection to humanity she had---and without that, without rapunzel, she’s literally nothing, just an old woman clinging to long-since withered flowers, in the same tower she grew up in, all alone.

ideas for frozen verse after reading a forest of shadows (still have to read conceal dont feel and phantoms tho)!

-gothel is a mystic from a thousand years ago! but she DID possess magic, as she is a ragana, a woman with magical powers, a witch, etc. she also expresses interest in science tho (her engineered anxiety room for rapunzel lol)

-the meterorite that fell to earth and was made into aren’s sword, revolute, was made of a star that fell to earth after the internal chaos in the heavens that detreminus refers to in rapunzel’s tangled adventure (that in my canon was caused by gothel & taz)

-gothel has been around a long time & is familiar with all the magical spirits around the world, tho she sometimes treats them and their rules as a bureacracy she just has to get around in order to ferry souls to the dead

-the ragana are in olaf’s book about magical shapeshifters. but there is no picture of gothel!!!

-gothel is in anna’s mother’s book about spells & the like, a myth about the woman that ferries souls to the underworld. another picture of her is here, in her youthful form, but not her true form!

-arendelle has heard about what happened in corona---but only barely. people know of a witch in the woods that stole the princess away---but they don’t know what gothel was on about, just that she sought the sundrop flower. most people think the witch is long dead (including the main tangled cast), and as gothel uses spells to keep herself young, people would never know or recognize her as this witch, and might be more likely to be recognized as Very Similar Looking (and having the same name) as the mystic who ferries souls.

that’s just ideas tho and i’m perfectly happy to change things for however yall wanna do things lol

𝚂𝙷𝙴 𝚂𝚃𝙴𝙿𝚂 𝙱𝙰𝙲𝙺 𝙵𝚁𝙾𝙼 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝚃𝚁𝙴𝙴. a bright smile painted on pink lips. pride alight in green irises. it might be the smallest tree she’s ever seen, but she’s done her best with the sparse collection of decorations she has. to some it might look a little sad, but rapunzel thinks it’s beautiful. ❝ what do you think, mother ? ❞

@safewithme 🎄

“Must we celebrate this boorish Holiday again? We just celebrated it last year, and I have still not recovered!”

Gothel sighs, her nails clenched into her armchair. She pushes upright---sinking from her seat to her full impressive height, and then, perturbed, tired, annoyed, she slinks over to the tree and finally extends her finger tips gingerly to the poor pine’s needles, as if testing her favorite child for fever.

“Ooh. My poor little flower. My darling child... This little sapling could’ve grown to be the largest tree in the forest. Could have...” She sighs. With a flick of her wrist, the tree begins to grow larger, its branches more full, years and years of impossible growth from its position on the table, until the large pot its placed in threatens to crack beneath its weight. From just a sapling---no greater than a bonsai, to at least six times its height and girthy width, without sunshine or even soil, just the love and support only a Mother can give.

Decorations fall to the floor as it grows, branches and pines spiraling like snakes as it creeps ever outwards. Thankfully, none of Rapunzel’s decorations cracks. Still, if they looked sad on the tree, they looked even sadder on the floor, especially after Rapunzel had done such dutiful work arranging them.

“There,” Gothel says with a relieved smile, finally satisfied. “That’s better, isn’t it, pet? Now, if we’re going to decorate it, we should do this right. Yes. I’ll go into town tonight and pick out some more decorations for this beautiful baby. In the meantime... we can make popcorn, and place it on the tree’s branches. If we must demean nature so, we might as well make it beautiful.”

Noticing Gothel had been a bit too harsh, frazzled as she may be with a holiday that willfully tears down trees for fun and without giving nature its due---Gothel finally gives Rapunzel a sad glance. Her voice comes out a siren song of positivity, kindness, false warmth, and, like every siren song---a promise for paradise, to guide you off your own ship into the trenches below the sea. “You did a very good job trying so hard, Rapunzel. But we’re going to make this holiday even better! Together. Okay?”

HC 004. THE JOYS OF MOTHERHOOD ( PART ONE of MANY ) / cassandra vs rapunzel.

every child is different. every child has different needs, and strengths, and behaviors. rapunzel and cassandra were very different children, even as infants---and gothel favored one above the other for a very specific reason.

gothel is a mother that likes to ‘pick’ at things. even healthy & non-toxic mothers perform this behavior. this is where the ‘nagging’ / ‘fussy’ stereotype comes from---but like many toxic & emotionally volatile people, gothel has something deep & empty & insecure within her soul, and because of this, she fidgets, she messes, she interferes, she says too much---and she hurts people in the process, often times on purpose, half because she wants to ‘help’ them---half because she wants to lash out at them for performing ‘unacceptable’ / ‘ugly’ behaviors.

cassandra and rapunzel were too very different children, not just in temperament---( by the standards of the OCEAN model of 5 big personality traits, in agreeableness, openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism, cassandra & rapunzel’s placements are relatively obvious, with rapunzel being more similar to gothel in openness (aka a Good Attribute they score highly in), and cassandra being similar to gothel in agreeableness & more obvious neuroticism (tho i rapunzel scores highly in this category as well if the series to be believed). ) but in the way they reacted to gothel’s mothering style.

cassandra & rapunzel were BOTH eager to please. they loved their mother. but as an infant, cassandra needed more, cried more, slept less---and when she DIDN’T need more, as as infants grow in toddlers, they grow to be more independent, more self-absorbed & almost pensive with their many baby thoughts & habits.

when cassandra DID relax by herself, or with her toys, or her cooking/chores, or this or that or the other as she grew into the child gothel would abandon---gothel would start ‘picking at her’ at any time, seeming at random. gothel would pick on her for big picture things, adult reasons consumed by patriarchal ideas of what a perfect woman should be. ‘u look like u have a double chin/ur tummy sticks out when u sit like that.’ ‘what are you glaring at? men don’t like squinting---and your face might stick that way.’ even as gothel taught her ‘masculine’ things, like swordplay, she expected elegance & perfection that a child by definition cannot possess.

cassandra would pick up on the emotional volitity / toxicity and start to cry, or get angry, externalizing the feelings of inferiority that her mother’s behavior and disparaging words gave her. rapunzel, on the other hand, wuld internalize those feelings as real flaws she thought she possessed, and thus, simply try to be better without letting out a peep of dissent.

gothel, being a primarily selfish & self-loathing person, sees only the bad in herself, and thus, in her child that has similar bad habits. rapunzel, meanwhile, who is so different, and new and exciting, never cried, slept well, thought everything was a fun, fan game and lavished gothel with attention---was adored, and became the ‘favorite’, for more reasons than just the fact that she was the sunflower, which seemed to matter less & less as the years progressed with gothel & rapunzel together, and more and more, in the years prior, when gothel was with cassandra.

MAIN VERSES FOR POST-TANGLED INTERACTIONS (does not include pre-tangled/past verses). bout to put this on my about page too after i clean it up some bc it needs a hashtag #update! i figure this will help me interact with people more and plot with people more so HMU IF ANY OF THESE VERSES INTEREST U!

ONE. ( THE THINGS I DO FOR LOVE. / post series MAIN. ) post season 2, gothel FINALLY comes out her cave when she feels cassandra connect to the moonstone. hiding her true form beneath layers of cloaks, and a mask----she uses all of her magic not to balance the world as she is meant to, but to look young & beautiful should the mask come off. subtly (and not-so-subtly, appearing often as a spirit or mirage). she tries to reconnect cassandra, rapunzel, & eugene, who are all key to keeping her mother trapped within the underworld located beneath the dark kingdom. [ note: this is not my most preferred verse? but it is a GOOD and slightly less complicated verse than my post series secondary / wishlist, and i am HAPPY to use it! ]

TWO. ( NEW PRETTY FRIENDS, NEW PRETTY FACES. / crossover disney verse MAIN. ) post-tangled movie (and mostly ignoring the sundrop/moonstone canon bc it Complicates Things), gothel cannot die---and so she spends her days using her magic to mask her age with spells & potions. it takes a good deal out of her, as it is a constant use of magic, but she is obsessed-----she ignores her duty as reaper&ragana as she searches the world for a way to retain her youth & makes friends and many enemies along the way. lonely as she is---she’s seeking out human companionship for the first time in a VERY long time.

THREE. ( THE SPIRIT OF MY YOUTH & BEAUTY LIVES ON. / post S2 SECONDARY. ) post season 2, gothel’s old & aging body still exists, weeping, screeching, manic & depressed, in the caverns in gothel’s mountain deep within the woods by the ocean, on the top peak where the original sundrop flower was found (and stolen). so depressed, so forlorn, so lost, what remains of her youthful spirit has projected into the real world in order to do her duty as reaper, and / or, stop the apocalypse that will come about if cassandra connects the sundrop & moonstone. she appears to them as an apparition, but should she succeed and accept her true form, old, wrinkled, but aged and mature as she should be, not ugly as she believes----she will return to her body.

FOUR. ( SAVE ME FROM AGE; SAVE ME FROM DEATH; SAVE ME FROM MYSELF. / post tangled WISHLIST [ open to crossovers, canon, whatever ] ) post canon, gothel is in her cave weeping & sobbing and completely in her head, your character (or another character) convinces her to come out and do her damn job of taking spirits to the underworld as she is meant to.

#( ooc: verse drop. )#( ooc: milf lover. )#( ooc: hc. )#( hc: careful the things you say. )

HC 003. SENSATIONAL / footwear.

gothel loves fashion, and is obviously, extremely vain---but she also loves, loves, LOVES dirt. she loves animals, she loves plants, she loves the snow, and the rain, and the sun, and the moon, and the freedom that comes from nature & the world---and while a core part of my character is that her obsession with looks comes from patriarchal standards of beauty forced upon her by both men & her own mother (the same way she passes it down to rapunzel)----she’s very much the witch that dances naked in the moonlight around the fire when no one can see (and always has been, tho that desire is stripped from her wholesale when she feels she is ugly, wrinkled and old---covers herself and banishes herself from the warmth of her garden, in some strange parallel to eve).

in my particular hc, rapunzel gets BOTH her barefoot tendency and her habit of talking to animals/making friends with animals from gothel, who never wears shoes, and talks to animals & plants constantly---more than she talks to humans besides rapunzel, in fact.

(furthermore, the first time gothel stepped outside that same tower was IDENTICAL to how rapunzel felt & acted when she stepped outside it. the excitement, the feeling of grass and dirt and pond on her skin. in her more lucid, less self-absorbed moments, she feels guilty for not giving this gift to rapunzel herself. those moments just happen to be few and far between, and covered with fear, insecurity, & equal parts narcissism and self-loathing.)

if it weren’t for rapunzel---she’d never talk to anyone living at all, besides, perhaps, the occasional stiff who makes her laugh.

i just realized... i can have a wolf among us verse on here....

the ‘gothel’ ( frau totenkinder ) in fables apparently has to sacrifice two children for eternal youth & beauty and also experienced visions of the future.

>: 3c

so i’m thinking:

gothel has two daughters (the sundrop rapunzel who is stolen from a king&queen; & the moonstone cassandra) and has to sacrifice them both in order to grant her eternal youth & beauty, but at the last minute---falters, and becomes an old crone who loses her memories of her glorious past & then is fooled into letting two strange children into her house. they burn her and she is healed by snow & rose years and years later. she starts to regain her memories as she helps & protects the townsfolk with her magic, given a youthful appearance by a necklace containing the root of the sundrop flower---the belleflower.

wintersovereign‌:

“I’m never going to be two hundred —and no one is murdering anyone. You and I are nothing alike, Gothel. You represent everything about magic I am trying to fight against.”

“Why fight it, when giving in feels so good? Magic is a part of nature---a part of your nature. We were given great gifts. There’s no need to squander them with morals. Magic, Nature---both are far older than humanity. You don’t have to limit yourself to men’s rules.”

Sensing she’s gone too far, Gothel places both her hands up in surrender.

“But fine. No killing. What about some light maiming? Just a little? Just a little light maiming? Ooh, and then some WINE&dessert. Maybe manicures, while we’re at it. Lucky for you, I have the best recipe for chocolate chip cookies.”

“ Her Majesty seems perfect in every way. But that couldn’t really the case, could it? You can’t be that beautiful and powerful AND completely sane. I should know. I was half of a bridge between worlds once, too... In a manner of speaking. ”

“She seems fine now, the regal Snow Queen. But the other half of the bridge will crack---eventually. Give it time. Magical women in our kind of stories always end up alone. ”

“ If she’s lonely enough---I might try to be there to catch her when she falls. Call it... witch solidarity. It’s not a kindness---it’s what all of us deserve. ”

“ She really is... so very beautiful. Even without the ice rhinestone detailing. It’s a nice touch, all the same. As a fellow amateur fashionista, I appreciate the design choices. ”

#wintersovereign #( ic: drabbles & ask responses. )#THANK U FOR SENDING THIS IN! i'm hyped to interact!

@sunsreign [ POSITIVITY MEME ( Send 💞 and my muse will say something nice about your muse ) ] “CAN SHE DO IT? CAAAN SHE? “

“Of course I can say something positive about you, Rapunzel! You’re my daughter---my one and only daughter, who I wuv and chewish with all my heart! Yes I do! Yes I do.” Gothel grips Rapunzel’s cheeks, playing pattycake with them as she babytalks Gothel as if she is talking to an infant or one of her plant or animal babies instead of a fully grown teenager.

Seeing that it doesn’t seem to be quelling Rapunzel’s nerves, Gothel’s shifts gears, and sighs.

Maybe a small dose of truth with help.

“Rapunzel, do you know how special you are to me?”

“You are the love of my life; the light of my life. My sunshine. My purpose. You make me a better woman just by standing beside me. And not just because I look better by comparison,” she smiles at her own joke, and then drops it. “No. It’s because you’re special, Rapunzel. You’re warm, and gentle, and loving, and so very soft---not just your tummy!---” Another joke, quickly dropped.

“....But the world is... not. It’s cruel and its ugly and its cold, especially men. That’s part of the reason I have to protect you, you know. They would be so vicious to you---take away your precious smile, and if anything ever happened to you---” She swallows. “My heart couldn’t take it.”

“And... I suppose you are good with the painting and the cleaning and the baking. Which reminds me---you said you made cookies?”
