I think there's something deeply symbolic about how Mother Knows Best, the song about Rapunzel's mom manipulating and sheltering Rapunzel so she can use her for her own benefit, being shot in the dark, with Gothel snuffing out Rapunzel's every attempt to light a candle, meanwhile, the song about Rapunzel realizing that her dreams are not out of reach— that love is real and that she can be truly loved— is called At Last I See The Light."

The fact that Cassandra got off scott-free for her actions while Varian got sent TO JAIL and STILL wasn't fully forgiven by the townsfolk after Rapunzel forgave him when Cass did FAR FAR WORSE than him and for LESS SYMPATHETIC reasons will never not annoy me.

Why are these Disney heroines "adorkable"?
Tumblr media
Rapunzel (Tangled): Because she was raised in isolation her entire life. She doesn't have a clue about the outside world or social graces or other people besides her "mother" in general. But she's extremely eager to learn and eager to please, not to mention is a pent-up ball of energy waiting to run wild, which leads to her adorkability. It makes perfect narrative sense.
Tumblr media
Anna (Frozen): While not as badly as Rapunzel, she was also raised in isolation for much of her life, largely having to rely on the books in her castle library to teach her about the world and things such as proper etiquette, life skills and romance. But real life is not a book, so when she actually has to do these things, she often flounders due to her nervousness, excitement or inexperience, which leads to her adorkability. It makes perfect narrative sense.
Tumblr media
Moana (Moana): From early in her life, she was raised under a very strict set of rules and instilled with a strong sense of responsibility, which is at odds with her instinctive desire to break these rules and her fears that she isn't up to the challenge her responsibilities pose. All of this pent-up stress she carries within her will often cause her to explode with emotion at the slightest provocation, which leads to her adorkability. It makes perfect narrative sense.
Tumblr media
Mirabel (Encanto): As a young child, she failed to receive a special gift and room the same way the rest of her family did. Now feeling like the failure of the family, Mirabel's coping mechanism became trying to make herself as extravagant and quirky as possible. She's an incredibly "Try Hard" person, which leads to her adorkability. It makes perfect narrative sense.
Tumblr media
Asha (Wish): Um.....well, she.....yeah, I got nothing. There is no narrative justification here.
Disney doesn't have an Adorkable Problem. Just an Asha Problem.

When you go through a tag with a character or story you love, but it's filled with the one (awful) version of the character that you hate because it's the most popular version of the character or story. But you still go in because you’re desperate for content:

The more I think about it, the more I hate CS for using Varian saying "Daddy" when he found Quirin sealed in the amber as "proof" that he's still "too inmature" for the truth.
Because as someone who lost her mother at the age of 28, even I went back to my "mommy" phase during the grieving process.
Wheter you call your parent dad/mom or daddy/mommy says literally NOTHING about your maturity, ESPECIALLY when you're grieving them.

I am thinking of Alicent secretly adoring those big poofy dresses with dozens of stiff petticoats and wide skirts that lets you kinda flounce around but never lets herself wear them because she is Holy and Holy People Do Not Suffer Vanity, I am thinking of twenty-two year old Alicent stroking her mother’s extravagant Hightower dresses like a child playing pretend in secrecy, never allowing herself to try them on, never letting herself experience joy because of the pressure she’s put on herself

What are your salty takes on Tangled?
It's not the masterpiece everyone says it is.
Rapunzel's purple dress sucks (I like her other dresses tho),
I don't like how disney keeps marketing the tower/hair because those were the two main sources of her trauma
tangled the series season 3 isn't good
I like her ship with Jack Frost from ROTG better than with Flynn
Varian should've gotten the moonstone/Evil arc while cass could've opened a school for knights of ALL genders
I also hate how tangled overshadowed Princess and the Frog
Tangled ripped off the Barbie version, i mean blonde princess who likes art, has a light theme, wears a purple dress AND has a reptile companions, being a lost princess of one of two kingdoms locked in a stalemate/rivalry is too much to be a mere of a coincidence
Also Rapunzel should've cut her own hair to symbolize gaining her own independence

Who is more into grooming, Varigo stans who babyface and uwufy Varian to the nth degree and make Hugo an asshole stud who does whatever he wants,
OR Varipunzel and Cassarian enjoyers who draw and write Varian as taller and stronger than Eugene and a man who makes his own decisions instead of letting himself be pushed around?
Pot don't call the kettle black 😒
OooOooohHhh lOOk aT Me iM trYinG tO juStIfY a MorAlLy wRoNg sHIp
The amount of cassarian shippers who are flooding my inbox is just goofy at this point so I’ll just answer this last one.
Honey, babyfacing is not inherent grooming or pedo*helia. We are talking about two teens/young adults who have a carry the specific stud/twink dynamic (which honestly, is not very common with Varigo as they are both mostly depicted as two nerds in love). You can find this dynamic in any ship- sunshine/gloom or sunshine/grump is a thing yaknow?
I’m not saying that Varian cannot be a strong tall man in this dynamic with Hugo, but using the whole “age up/Varian is now big and burly and masculine” excuse to ship cassarian or varipunzel is just plain wrong because as I’ve said 2028183837291 times, ITS GROOMING!!
I will say that this does being an interesting point worth of discussion. The implication that Varian can only be “feminine” counterpart with Hugo is a bit heteronormative just as much as implying that Varian can only be a “real man” that “makes his own decisions and isn’t pushed around” if he is seen romantically with Cass or Rapunzel (which to me, sounds a lot like ‘the conquest of older women to prove your masculinity’ sorta thing [especially when you note that Cass is more on the masculine spectrum and more of *challenge* (I hate that term, it’s gross *shivers*)]
Then again, queer dynamics are much much different than heterosexual relationship dynamics, but Varian being a ‘twink’ or ‘the more feminine’ counterpart to Hugo doesn’t equate it to him being a stupid ass kid who’s a doormat and ‘can’t be a man’ or be assertive, and if you’re using Cassarian or Varipunzel to make the argument that Varian can only be a assertive masculine man if paired up with women much older than he is idk what to tell you other than ur using *very weird* heteronormative standards to make Varian -a character you claim to love- a much more shallow person that he simply isn’t.
If anything (and from the info I know about Varigo) Hugo is a big support to Varian in terms of how he wants to grow as an alchemist and as an innovative individual. That’s what makes the ship sweet. Cassarian and Varipunzel in comparison is just very shallow even if you manage to ignore the weird grooming and age gap.
Also come on anyone can agree that Varipunzel is more of a sibling-like ship.
Anyway, cassarian shippers please leave my blog and block me if you must. Idrfc

I find it interesting when people say they like Nancy except when she's a girlfriend. Interesting because more often then not people are just upset her top priority isn't a guy or that she won't bend over backwards for a guy(usually steve). It's not actually sn analysis of her character or an understanding of her and what role that plays.
But I think Nancy is one of those characters where you can see her growth/change/development through her romantic relationships with Steve and then with Jonathan. Like we didn't get Jonathan's whole spiel about her conforming and living the "perfect life" for no reason. We didn't get her talking about how Ted and Karen are pretty much in a false, society pleasing, relationship for no reason.
The thing is Nancy is fighting those things. She is navigating and learning, through trial and error and mistakes(we learn from mistakes) that she doesn't have to condemn herself to that fate that she's known probably all along that she didn't want. Just hadn't fully realized she could have.

I can’t comprehend why Chris Sonnenburg somehow expected billions of people all around the world to watch his show and assumed that everyone would automatically gravitate towards Cassandra as our favorite character, then lash out at fans on the internet when it’s clear that Varian has become the fan favorite.
Cassandra has her fanbase. And Varian has his. Then there are many fans who don’t necessarily care for either of them and gravitate towards Rapunzel, Eugene or other characters. And you know what? That’s okay.
Fandoms bring diversity. And it is that diversity that makes fandoms fun and enjoyable. We’re all different people with different life experiences and personalities, and as such we gravitate towards different characters. We form our own interpretations and opinions about them and discuss them together. That’s the beauty of being a part of a fandom. If everyone in the TTS fandom only paid attention to Cassandra, and only Cassandra, then the fandom wouldn’t be such a fun place, would it?
The fact that Chris Sonnenburg cannot accept this diversity, and even hates it because it means that fans disagree with him, shows what a narrow minded and narcissistic man he truly is. A story does not solely consist of the protagonist, but rather, of all the characters together. Side characters are often just as enjoyable as the main characters, and add a lot to the story of the protagonist while having interesting storylines in their own right.
Varian is an excellent example of this. I think it goes without saying that Varian’s story touched millions of people that watched TTS. This isn’t something that should anger a creator. Rather, they should be thrilled and happy that their character resonated with the hearts of so many people. The idea that this would be upsetting to a creator just…baffles me. Varian wasn’t an original character from the Tangled movie. Chris created him! Regardless of what a creator intends their character’s role in their story to be, you would think that any creator would be overjoyed that their character’s story connected with so many people.
If Chris can’t accept that, then that is on him, not us.

Every time I see a tweet like this I think to myself that She’s literally a walking stereotype of multiple harmful tropes. It’s so obvious growing up that she is. What the hell were the writers thinking?
