Magical/Advanced Objects in the Tangled Universe and Their Fates

So, I was randomly thinking about all the magic that was introduced in Tangled the Series, and how much of it was gone by the end. This, of course, isn't true for literally every magical thing we saw. Natural things, like the Forest of No Return still exist by the end, but even the catalytic items of the Sundrop, Moonstone and black rocks are just... not there anymore by the end.

Here's a noncomprehensive list just on idly thinking about it.

Black Rocks

Demanitus Device

Automatons

Demanitus

Idol of Vershaftsbezeigungengien

Demanitus Scroll

Mind Trap

House of Yesterday's Tomorrow

Mother and Father (and their house)

Time Travel Hourglass

Portal to the Forgotten Realm

Sundrop and Moonstone

(Gee, it's almost as if they knew they'd introduced a magical element to the series that wasn't present in the movie and wasn't tenable to carry through to Tangled Ever After, and that the series had to reset everything to status quo by the end in order to make continuital sense.)

i do think it's interesting that even when knowing his future on mortis (hello vader foreshadowing to the point of just saying this is going to happen outright), anakin STILL turns to the dark side immediately. the Brother promises peace, and anakin's just like ok bet KNOWING who he is. I know it's to prevent the future he sees, which despite the Father's assurances, the audience knows WILL happen, but it's still telling.

also, love the parallels to RotS of anakin bringing balance to the planet by everyone dying. the Father, the Daughter, and the Son. Granted, he was only responsible for the Son's death, which is ironic in and of itself.

i find anakin to be the most compelling when he is struggling to find his way like in this arc. there is something unmatched about vader foreshadowing, it hits every time for me.

Modern Trance

Gentle notice: this writing has a calming, drifting rhythm. Follow only if you feel safe doing so.

✦ ᛉ ᚨ ᚷ ᛟ ✦

No pendulum. No velvet voice.

Just the glow of a screen at 2 a.m. The same song on repeat. The thumb that keeps scrolling long after the question has faded.

If that’s not trance, it’s close enough to feel familiar.

The body knows the rhythm. The mind follows quietly.

Nothing mystical. Nothing dangerous.

Just rest disguised as habit.
