Look. I’m Not Saying “fear Is The Heart Of Love” Is Gonna Get A Follow-up Oneshot, Because That

very good analysis and i am honored you spent so long on it!

My critique with season-3 Rapunzel is that Cass hurting Eugene in “Cassandra’s Revenge” should have been the last straw, in my opinion. Or, if not that, then when she took over Corona. Or, if not that, then when she stole the Sundrop from Rapunzel.

It would have served both characters so well to have Rapunzel give up on Cass, even temporarily, so that Cass could realize that this is having consequences she doesn’t want. And so Rapunzel can display that polarizing mentality we’ve come to expect from her. And so little kids and tweens— and even teenagers and adults— watching this don’t walk away with the lesson that the person who’s hurting you has their better self “still in there”, and you just have to try hard enough to save them. That’s a thing I’ve heard from parents who stopped letting their kids watch after the third season.

just for clarification:

disliking parts of the way rapunzel’s character was handled in the show =/= disliking her.

movie!rapunzel means a lot to me personally, and i absolutely adore some aspects of her character in the show. i think she’s loving, creative, funny, intelligent, and she tries her best to help the people around her.

if i have a critique with her in the show, it’s because i believe that isn’t how she’d behave as someone who went through the events of the movie. or maybe i look at how she acts for one episode of the show, compare it to the foundation they’ve established in an earlier episode, and find that they contrast one another. my criticisms are for the inconsistent or out-of-character writing, not for rapunzel herself. i understand she has flaws; i just wish they were addressed properly and that she didn’t always have to be in the right.

you’re welcome to reblog this if you feel the same way.

Your brother is SIXER??

rapunzel. rapunzel, i feel you. i understand that you’re lashing out because of demon magic and stress.

however.

you are talking to the man who chose to die for you.

i think he understands what a tough choice is.

Arabian scops owl. With the freaky eyes <3

you are now a bird ! go into [this] generator and generate one (1) bird, and that is your new existence. i'd love to see what everyone gets, either by replies or tags if you reblog !

ADD is quite the mental illness to have, because you could simply get into gravity falls as a show. you could merely watch the episodes and have a favorite character.

or you could be consumed by it to the extent that you map out 24 years of ford’s portal adventures, arrange those 24 years into 74 planned-out chapters of a fanfic, and get to work.

^^^^^ precisely. also whoa, I can’t believe you’re on good terms with Hugo.

Varian gets tanner and more freckly in the sun and Hugo just burns. There is no cure. Aloe vera & whatever concoctions Varian can whip up are helpful, but they just reduce him to his pale self again. He is doomed to either be pink/red or pasty. Varian desperately tries not to find it funny.

he just wanted to be involved in the conversation

he just wanted to understand

Ford horrific misunderstanding

Pls don't tag this as stancest, I will fucking cry

What are some of your favorite Hugo headcanons because I love seeing what people think of him

AH IT’S HAPPENING

-i love robotic arm hugo. i think it’s an absolutely fantastic concept. however, if that were the case, he’d either have to have lost his arm or been born without it. either way, i imagine donella had to do surgery both on his shoulder and his brain to attach it, which gives him phantom pains. varian’s noticed that hugo tends to use his human arm for things, but he didn’t put it together until he grabbed hugo’s metal wrist a bit too hard and saw him wince.

-he’s insecure about his singing voice and usually sings out of key to tick people off, but when he actually tries to sing— be it to calm someone down, or serenade varian— it sounds incredible.

-he has worn a dress to smuggle stolen objects in, multiple times. that made him begin to feel introspective before he Noped himself right out of that spiral. (i think he’s genderfluid/genderqueer, but he’s usually okay with being called he/him when he knows it’s someone who would adjust the term if asked.)

-he does Not like bugs. bugs of any kind. even butterflies are pushing it.

-the absolute biggest sap, but all on the inside. varian loves in feelings and gestures, and he does great with words of affirmation, but hugo’s mind is like a poetry mill that never stops. if anyone was able to tell what yearning, dramatic thoughts he was thinking, they would never let him hear the end of it.

-he had a celebrity crush on the alchemist of old corona. and eight different conspiracy theories. this is a pretty common hc but i love it.

-attracted to varian’s “villain voice”. nuru judges him so hard for that.

-a huge love language of his is physical touch, but he’s trained himself out of it. fast forward a few years after the events of vat7k, and you will see hugo glomping onto his chosen people.

-horrible at art. he can draw blueprints and schematics, but he cannot draw people. he’s only managed to draw his robot mouse by thinking of her as various mechanical parts. he tried to draw himself once at eight and once at nineteen and both drawings look the same.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE ASK 😭 NEVER HESITATE TO SEND THEM

FUCK YEAH!!
