with you by my side

sideblog to @waitlifted for various Tangled muses

[tangledupmuses]

PINNED POST

Welcome! This is a sideblog to @waitlifted​ for muses from Disney’s Tangled franchise, with heavy (but not exclusive) focus on a particular AU known as the reversed verse. I’m presuming you came from that blog if you’re seeing this blog, but if not, go there first!

Rules:

All rules that apply on Cassandra apply here. In addition, you must be following me there first.

For now, this blog is exclusively for people who I have already written with (or at least plotted with) at least one time on Cassandra’s blog, and is a testing ground for various muses.

As part of it being a testing ground and very light, it is currently dash only and iconless.

Not all of my muses are available in all verses: the list below states any verse restrictions. Please respect my decision and don’t ask me to write a character in main verse if I state they’re exclusive to a particular verse.

That said, the inverse doesn’t apply: since I created the reversed verse, if you have a plot for that verse that requires a character other than one I have listed, toss it at me and I may very well decide to take you up on it for a thread!

Muse list as of now:

Princess Rapunzel der Sonne (any verse)

Queen Arianna der Sonne (any verse)

King Frederic der Sonne (any verse)

Prince Horace “Eugene” Fitzherbert (reversed verse only)

Emerald der Sonne (reversed verse only)

Amethyst der Sonne (reversed verse only)

Tentative/incomplete muses:

Lance Strongbow (any verse)

Captain of the Guard (any verse)

Rapunzel by Dim-Draws

[tangledupmuses]

honestly that last post is exactly the key to understanding frederic and rapunzel's relationship in my opinion.

frederic loves his daughter so, so much, but he doesn't understand her. he doesn't understand why, after only just finally being returned to him, she's so eager to run out into that same world that took her away. he didn't see those 18 years of isolation, caged like a songbird. he doesn't realize that, in her eyes, being kept in the castle is just trading one tower for another.

but in return: rapunzel loves her father, but she doesn't understand him, either. she doesn't understand why he's so afraid of the world and afraid for her safety when she's proven she can take care of herself. she didn't see those 18 years of grief, living every waking moment with her ghost. she doesn't realize that, in his eyes, if he fails this second chance at protecting her he'll lose his daughter all over again.

(( my brain has decided for the past couple of days that I'm going to design a theoretical updated rapunzel figure based on the series that is essentially "what they might have released when TTS came out if infinity was still around" ))

a thing I brought up talking to my sibling the other day that is worth sharing here:

given rapunzel's tendency to paint elaborate colorful designs on every surface she can physically reach, I 100% see modern verse rapunzel getting lots of color tattoos

@gravityvampire liked for a starter

Rapunzel’s eyes were wide, taking in the appearance of the stranger before her. Now that was a sight for a painting. (Hopefully she could differentiate it enough that it didn’t look like a self portrait.)

“Is your hair magic, too?” Rapunzel’s cheeks flushed pink as she remembered you were generally supposed to start with “hello”, but too late to take it back. “It’s just— I’ve never met anyone else with hair that long before.” Apparently it was ‘impractical’. Nobody seemed to pay any heed to her argument that once it got long enough it became extra practical.

|| 🌙 ||: ❝ Oh! Oh no it’s- it’s just regular hair. ❞

Naomi half-laughs, a hand finding it’s way to said locks, gently brushing fingers through them now that attention was brought to it- and to check if it was floating around. She’d wondered why the other had been staring at her, though she assumed it was because of her eyes. The fact that it was her hair, needless to say she was thrown for quite a loop. 

|| 🌙 ||: ❝ I-I just like having it long. S-Sometimes it’s a-a hassle but I like it- ❞

With that said she offers a soft smile, 

|| 🌙 ||: ❝ So– You asked it it was magic too?  A-As in your hair is magic? ❞

She’d obviously noticed the very very long hair, how could she not? She’d figured it would’ve been rude to comment on it earlier, but that implied fact made it a little easier to ask. Otherwise what else was she going to say? How did you get it that long? Why keep it so long? No that would be too forward, and possibly personal, she couldn’t risk that.

[tangledupmuses]

Rapunzel offered a slightly sheepish smile at her response, hoping she didn't come off like a crazy person. Her own hair was magic, after all! It was a legitimate question! Maybe not the best opening line with a stranger, but still!

"Yeah, it is," she answered, mirroring the other girl's motions as she ran fingers through her own hair in the exact same nervous tic. "Unbreakable, actually, that's why it's still so long— not that I don't like long hair! I just, you know, wouldn't have picked this long. But, it won't cut." Ruined a perfectly good pair of scissors (and several bladed weapons) finding that one out. "I just— well, I thought it might be something similar. Never know unless you ask, right?"

Arianna turned at her daughter's voice.

"Good morning, Rapunzel." the queen said with a warm and inviting smile.

"I am well, did you sleep alright, I know it's hard to sleep in a unfamiliar place sometimes." I grieved her that her own child was a stranger to her. But now was the time to get to know and learn about the child she had missed these long eighteen years.

[tangledupmuses]

"I slept really good," Rapunzel admitted with a nod, fingers wandering to play with her hair only to awkwardly hover in the spot where her hair used to be. "I mean, I kinda wanted to keep exploring, but with everything that happened, I was already really tired, and the bed— I never knew beds could be that soft!"

The tower had been comfortable, no doubt about it. She slept like a princess in her big comfy bed, wrapped in her blankets and her hair. But it turned out, "like a princess" was nothing compared to what an actual princess got. Plus... despite being a completely new place, for once, she felt completely safe and at peace.

"But, it's a new day! First day of the rest of my life, right?" No pressure or anything. "So! What should we do today?" The amount of new things suddenly opened up to her left her almost paralyzed with indecision, and besides, her mother— her real mother— probably had some ideas of her own.

tangledupmuses​:

@laxchra liked for a starter (for Eugene)

“Okay, just a liiittle to the left… perfect! Stay just like that.” Rapunzel peered through the frame of her fingers as she lined him up before dashing back to her easel. Expression softening, she added, “Thanks for doing this, Eugene. I’ve just— never had a male model before.” A weakness in her art she intended to correct. But that meant a lot of practice.

Eugene shifted the pose as directed, though a grin did flash on his face. “I’m always happy to be of service, Blondie.” He told her with a wink. “Besides, got to this good looks for future generations to see.” He said, mostly joking...mostly.

[tangledupmuses]

Rapunzel gave that short laugh she often did at Eugene's playful puffery, smiling back at him. "I'll do my best!" Drawing guys shouldn't be that different from drawing girls, right? Eugene was taller than her— a lot taller— and definitely more chiseled, but the basic principles should hold the same.

She started to sketch his outline, thankful he was staying still— previous human portraits had to be with herself as a reference model, and it was difficult to both pose and draw at the same time. "Has anyone painted you before? Since you're such a good subject." There were the wanted posters, of course, but Rapunzel didn't want to count those.

so I finally gave in and made a pin board for rapunzel bc she's really the secondary muse behind cass and the spread of content I've added so far is really emphasizing to me how much more influence I take from the series vs the film

like, despite the fact that one of (if not the) most iconic visuals associated with her is the tower, I don't have any towers on the board (a couple of images evoking the interior of the tower, but none of the tower itself). what I do have several of, however, is brightly colored caravans out in nature. she may have spent most of her life in a tower... but the caravan was a home that she chose.

[tangledupmuses]

I don't really engage with AUs on this blog beyond the reversed verse the way I do with cass, but since I've been practically glued to starbound again the past few days

I want everyone to know that starbound verse rapunzel is a novakid, a golden glowing gas (potentially with glittery purple rocks suspended in it as a reference to the look of the old anodyne race that was the prototype for the novakid) with the corona sun symbol as her brand, and her hair becomes this long comet trail that she leaves in her wake
