I love Jay, but I’m kind of nervous to talk about my thoughts because what if I sound silly or I’m wrong…

#jrwi riptide #jay ferin #thinking about her in 127 and how she acts in general #the way she acts contrasting with her guilt and insecurities #some of it is her pretending to be okay yes #but some of it is just her nature i think #the way she makes desicions so quickly and confidently #and she’s pretty smart but she’s not calculating #her desicions are not calculated #her desicions are typically based on the question what do I want in this situation #and she picks the option that aligns with that and goes with it #does this make sense? am i making sense?#she’s always known what she wants and made her choices around that #until her dad gets involved #then she struggles more #with her autonomy #and so like. I think it’s interesting how much she’s regretting so many of the choices she made #because the choices and the way she decides them is so part of who she is #I cant tell if I’m getting my idea across properly #so i guess its kind of not just the decisions she’s regretting #but also upset knowing that she’s the kind of person that will keep making decisions the same way #and she does!!#her guilt doesn’t change the way she aproaches things! which is so fun to me I love it #she still acts so quickly #even assuredly #fascinating #i love jay #okay I talked about my thoughts #I did it #safer in the tags 🙂‍↕️

‘I promise. And when I promise something, I never, ever break that promise.’

I was thinking about Rapunzel and how promises are so important to her. When she gives her word, she’s going to keep it.

But the thing is, everything she’s learned when she’s in the tower came from Gothel. Everything is twisted from either Gothel’s point of view or from what she wants Rapunzel to believe. Even her books are limited to cooking, botany and geology. Everything is designed to make her stay in the tower (through fear and distraction) and to listen to Gothel.

So where did the idea of promises come from?

Rapunzel’s naturally inquisitive and curious, and with such little information and experiences I think she’d pay close attention to everything Gothel says to learn as much as possible.

And when Rapunzel’s a kid, maybe Gothel promises something.

Just something small. ‘I promise I’ll be back for dinner’ or ‘I promise to get you some new paints’. And that’s not a term Rapunzel is familiar with so she asks about it, and Gothel explains how a “promise” is when someone gives their word on something. And Rapunzel loves that, she loves that certainty and honesty.

But Gothel doesn’t keep her promises.

Doesn’t matter if it’s everyday things like promising that they will spend time together or big things like promising that Rapunzel won’t have to stay in the tower forever. Gothel gives out promises without any real thought, just hoping to shut Rapunzel up for a bit.

But Rapunzel remembers. All the promises add up, little white lies that stick with her - because she’s not allowed to lie to Gothel but her mother is allowed to lie to her.

And so Rapunzel decides to do better. That she will only promise something if she intents to keep it, and that she will follow through on her word. Maybe she hopes that Gothel will see the effort she’s putting in and do the same. Maybe it’s a small form of early rebellion, that Rapunzel knows more than she’s letting on and will do what she wants despite Gothel.

Either way, Rapunzel always keeps her promises.

I just really like the idea of Ruby's dorm mates being the only ones who can snap her out of it when she's going on a rampage ---
