I know that I'm a bit late, but the discourse about Rodrigue and Gilbert as bad fathers, I've seen it (although with a lessen extent) with Ingrid's father too. But precisely Ingrid's conflict is resolved when she talks with him. So, I don't know if again it's the fandom making Faerghus worst than it really is, when you can clearly see bad parents from the empire and the alliance and nothing is said about them, or it's because Rodrigue and Gilbert can be actually relevant to the story.

i’ve seen count galatea be dragged through the dirt before *cough* teatg *cough* but to a lesser extent than others since he makes no physical appearance. 3h definitely has a lot of weird parental relationships now that i think about it

here’s my take of all father characters in 3h in no particular order:

seteth: wonderful father that has spent 1k years taking care of his baby. maybe a bit protective but considering what he’s been through i don’t blame him. plus he and flayn talk and come to an agreement.

alois: 10/10 no red flags just wish we knew more about his wife and daughter

ludwig: shitty man but ferdie seems to love him. i suppose he was alright to his child and saved his nastier side for others

edmund: bro why did u think telling ur daughter to be afraid of herself was a good idea. this is frozen all over agin

king of almyra: implied to have consorts other than tiana so that takes him down a peg in my eyes. plus claude seems a bit miffed about some of his childhood due to his parenting. probably not intentionally abusive but i would keep an eye on him

mr. victor: kinda an ass ngl he knows his son doesn’t want to be a knight yet pushes him into it anyway.

gloucester: same as ludwig

vestra: a serial killer but definitely a better man than hubert gives him credit for. kinda ironic that he drilled imperial obedience into his kid and is in turn killed by said child for disobeying the crown.

galatea: seems like a nice guy who cares for his daughter. once they get to talking things smooth over.

rodrigue: good dad 9.5/10. the man has the patience of a saint to deal with felix’s melodrama.

lambert: nothing but good things are said and dimitri loved him very much. sad he got chopped

gilbert: i give him a 5/10. good dad while in the kingdom but let his grief cloud his judgment for what was best for him and his family. for that i’ll have to dock off five points

gautier: inheritance by crest is a flawed system but so is by sex or birth but at least his has some logic behind it. maybe could have given miklan some consolation money or land but i don’t blame him for kicking the man out. i would have done it sooner

ionius: nothing he says lines up with the timeline and edelgard implies that part of her reasons for being Like That is due to him grooming her beliefs. plus he had a harem and liked schoolgirls so… ew

lonato: once an honorable man who let his ignorance and grief over his terrorist kid cloud his judgement and was willing to kill his adopted one. i’ll give him a five like gilbert

bartels: dude literally wanted to marry his stepdaughter. -10/10

You know what? I actually believe that out of all the Dream Team, George is actually the motherhen/care-taker type

It may be different when the camera is rolling, or when hes being sarcastic and sassy but you can really see that this man has the patience of a saint and doesnt mind calmly and patiently talk to someone over something if they need help over it

Like the most recent being with Tommyinit, and how he got tips from George. Yeah, George hasnt finished a speedrun in a while but hes knowledgable over the topic and it doesnt really shock me as much knowing that he helped Tommy

Or another recent stream of him teaching Quackity how to play bedwars, you could see that Bad and him were actively trying to teach Quackity, even if it cost them the game or they lost. In the first parts, George would talk to them calmly and tried his best to give Quackity the general idea of the game, even when he stumbled a bit and got confused at times.

I mean look at his interactions witht the most recent MCC with Fruit, Ludwig and Karl

When Karl was getting stressed and confused George was there to calm him down and talk him through finding a way to fix his problem. When George was speaking to him you could see how relaxed his voice was, how chill his vibes were and how he calmly he was explaining rules and suggestions to help the more new team members: Ludwig and Karl

He was so attentive to them and didint mind taking the time to explain things and help them in understanding the game, even at the cost of his own

Theres also how in the older Quackity and Karl streams, whenever they did something dangerous or something that could possibly hurt them; George was there trying his best to desesculate the situation (even though he fails most of the time with these two and gives up half way lol)

Like when Karl first strated jumping on his chair as he popped off or the time he started to put things on fire, George would usually be worried and tell Karl to be careful. He also told Quackity this when he was streaming that one time and was dancing with open scissors; George was worried Quackity would hurt himself while his LOH was just a few minutes from starting

Or it could also be how soft he gets when interacting with kinder, softer people (like Bad or Niki) he doesnt exactly changed much, considering hes still a sassy asshole but you could see how hes less of a bitch with them and how hes calmer around them

And also how he interacts with most if not all animals he meets; not just irl but also in minecraft too. Hes so incredible soft and caring when he interacts with his pets (Dog and Cat) even going so far as holding them sweetly as if theyre babies

Then in minecraft, when hes not showing off or acting like a brat, he interacts with them kindly too; like the time he met with a strider and he saw it was cold and tried to help them, how he was softly speaking to a baby chicken to go to their mother hen, and how when he first got Beckerson he would go say hi to them on their little area and just stay with the fish and watch them for a while

Theres a lot of moments and times where you could see George switch from his 'sassy bitch mode' to his 'care-taker teacher mode'. Its usually the tone of his voice that changes and how his vibes suddenly get very calm and chill, and he also starts explaining things in detail to the other person

Idk i just believe this man is one of the most sweetest people youll ever meet, especially once you get to know him better; and makes me believe that hes the caring-parental type like Bad is :")

#this is quite long and idk how to do the cut scene thing in tumblr so im so sorry "orz #georgenotfound #i cant help it my brain going brrrrr #please som1 help me figure out the 'under the cut' thing huhu

Let me start by saying that I absolutly adored the wrong flag request with allies. Brilliance at it best really. If you don't mind I'd love to see a continuation with Axis + Romano, Prussia and Belarus if you don't mind.

Thanks a million over there! :) Glad to serve you more if that is the case.

Yandere Axis + Belarus

Belarus

„I guess you simply can‘t listen. Are those ears of yours really just decoration?”, he would Growl, evidently upset.

She had gone with you through the rules before and one of those clearly stated that you’re not the wear anything that could remotely indicate that you belong to somebody else. That means that flag t-shirts are an absolute no-go.

The instance she see’s you she’ll get passive aggressive and start piling up the insults:

“If Venus was the most beautiful woman to ever walk the earth, then you’re her counterpart. That disgusting cloth makes you look like an ogre.”

After a brief moment of hurtling around cutting words, she’d pounce on you. And no, she wouldn’t let you fight against her. Indeed, it would only make matters worse for you.

Soon, Natalya would have the offending rag shredded and dissolved in acid before your never eyes. After that, she’ll probably cut short on your pocket money if all you’re buying is rubbish.

Germany

“Mausi, come over here”, he’d suggest in a faux sweet tone. “We need to talk out your choice of clothing.”

Even as he has his hands on your waist, awkward stiff hands that want nothing more than to tear the article of cheap cloth for your torso, he’ll try to considerate. In a way, it would almost be cute to watch his attempts to be mellow while being firm, on the other hand it would be painful how desperate he would be.

If Alfred would glimpse the interesting sight of Ludwig trying to get you to pull the shirt off by your own volition, he’d be torn between laughing himself silly and regretting pulling out all of the wolf’s teeth in the late 40s. Then he would go on to mock Germany of having become so soft.Putting that aside,

Ludwig would eventually become impatient if you don’t comply. He doesn’t take nonsense to well, or beating around the bush – that is what Austria does and he is different from that Ösi.

Putting aside any regard for the feelings, he’d pull it off and later use it as a cleaning rag. No darling, that isn’t downgrading, that is recycling and such a flag is only good for getting muck away.

Japan

“So, a new shirt? Why don’t you come over and show it to me”, Kiku would say in his usual steady voice.

Like China, he would be more be more subtle about is approach, trying to convince you your choice of clothing isn’t the best. Furthermore, he’d try to see the whole matter from your point of view – Japan is just that perspective.

As insanely polite as he is, he wouldn’t let one insult come your way, just friendly suggestions and pointing out facts. In ways that don’t conflict with his delusions and his desires, he respects you as an individual and additionally, understands that insulting a person when you want them to do something for you is extremely counterproductive.

However, don’t expect him to share is feelings on that matter because even in your “relationship” he’d have his reservations, no matter how well you behave yourself.

On top of that, regardless of your previous behaviour don’t push him to far. Yes, this man has the patience of a saint, and that doesn’t mean that he isn’t capable of anger. Indeed, while he has his anger tethered as firmly as the Fenrir Wolf don’t go overboard, don’t insult him viciously.

While he understands politeness to be mutual, he’ll regard most of your rudeness with pursed lips and a steady voice – in the beginning.A fair warning – should the tether really tear, it will be Ragnarök for you.

Prussia

“Do you know exactly what you’re doing?”, he’d interrogate, circling you like a shark circles a seal. With his read eyes and sharp features, it is an oddly fitting metaphor.

You two would have talked about this thoroughly, at breakfast, after watching a movie, while you were standing in front of your wardrobe contemplating what to wear that day. You have a dress code that you have to abide to, and you wouldn’t be able to play dumb or oblivious.

Oh, so apparently there is a loophole? No mention of shirts with flags on them? Well, good luck for you, there is a new rule in the house.

Gilbert would give you a good dressing down for hurting his feelings and it wouldn’t even be in the fun way. Ok, should it be in the fun way then it would be rough as a way to show his ownership over you.

Don’t worry, he wouldn’t tear it from you if you’d show a lot of resistance, but that rag is going.

Maybe, as a form of psychological torture, he’d set the burning flag shirt on the meeting table right before everybody comes in. Then, when the specific country would have gotten really offended, he’d rub the whole matter in your face.

Romano

“What by the seven circles of hell…!?”, he yelled, but not before spitting out the coffee that he was drinking in the nearby sink. You really have ways of ruining his morning.

Wearing the flag of another country other than him would be a sign of betrayal. Heck, he’d even be suspicious if you were to wear the Italian flag, since he shares it with his younger brother.

While he wouldn’t swear around you since one simply doesn’t swear in front of your lover, his speech would suddenly be pepper with profanity. Still it would be mild compared to what normally comes out of his mouth around other men.

Of all the personifications, he’d probably react the most volcanically. No, he isn’t going to quiet down, you’re going to rid yourself of that filth before that happens.

Really, it wouldn’t take much for him to rip the thing off you and lock you in a room.

Veneziano

Wide eyes meet you when you appear before him. Disgust and shock curl together to an extremely aghast expression. Then, as tears came to his eyes, he whimpered: “Why?”

His beginning reaction would be akin to Heidi Klum up in the gif, really. Fashion is a science by this man, and it would wretch at his heart to see his dearest in such clothing.

On a part, his tears would be genuine – Feli is just an expressive person as it is – but on the other hand it would be because he is a manipulative little weasel that is guilt-tripping you by crying.

The most physical he’d get would be to paw at your torso like a desperate dog, but other than that he’ll do his best to appeal to your emotions.

Do you have no heart, lad? Don’t you see that you’re hurting your poor lover? Really, your lack of compassion is shocking.

Tangled Salt Marathon - Short Cuts

So the reviews for Rapunzel’s Return are taking longer then expected and due to real life complications I’ve now fallen behind in my intended schedule. So in order to catch up, I’ll be doing a series of rapid-fire mini reviews of all the official shorts that the series released in addition to the usual reviews.

Summary: Ten shorts were released throughout the three seasons of the show detailing Rapunzel’s misadventures in Corona.

Check Mate

Pascal tries to get Max to play chess with him, but the horse is too busy with guard duty to play. Pascal’s antics wind up causing a fire and Max must save him.

This short, plus the later Unicorn-y short, and the episode Pascal’s Story pretty much confirms that chess is pascal’s favorite game. Shame that’s the only idiosyncrasy that the series gives besides being the conscious of the group that sometimes gives the other characters guilty looks.

I said it before and I’ll say again, the animal sidekicks in the franchise don’t have enough personality to carry whole episodes by themselves, but shorts like this are ok and where things like this should have stayed.

Prison Bake

Attila recounts how he used his baking skills to break his fellow pub thugs out of prison back before they met Rapunzel.

This just raises so many questions. Why were they arrested? What was their punishment besides jail? Why weren’t they just re-arrested later after escaping? If they were all wanted criminals before meeting Raps then why did they try to call the guards during the movie to collect the reward money on Eugene’s head? Do we really think “crack-down on crime” Frederic would pardon them before Rapunzel’s return? How do we know they weren’t just framed given how shitty Corona’s legal system is?

Like I just need a tiny bit more context show. Two to three minutes isn’t really long enough to set up conflicts. These shorts should have been more like five or six minutes really.

Also Ludwig the Castle Cook is also just wasted. They built a model for him and hired a VA and everything and all he does is appear in this one short and nothing else. Like I think he makes a non-speaking cameo in The Alchemist Returns or something, but that’s it. It’s a clear mismanagement of resources.

Make Me Smile

Rapunzel tries unsuccessfully to make Old Lady Crowley smile, but it’s not until she holds an honest conversation with the woman does she find a solution.

This is best short out of the bunch, and not just cause it stars the great Pat Carol either.

This is how Rapunzel should have been handled in the main series proper. Which is why I screen-grabbed this whole convo. It’s perfect.

Rapunzel spent 18 years lock in a tower. Of course she doesn’t understand different perspectives from her own cause her development has been stunted. She’s compassionate but lacks empathy. So she has a hard time connecting with others, but once she slows down an actually takes the time to listen to people she is capable of learning.

We needed more of this; just on a larger scale. Have Raps make mistakes, have people be annoyed with her or right angry when she messes up, and then have her learn.

Why the series thought it was a good idea to have everyone kiss her royal arse instead while she dug in her heels and consendinly took charge of everything even while still screwing up, I’ll never know.

Hare Peace

Feldspar asks Rapunzel to take care of his “precious”. Rapunzel thinks he means a pet rabbit, and is run ragged trying to keep up with it, but it turns out he was talking about his prized cabbage instead.

These shorts overall work a lot better than the main show. They know what they are and don’t try to be anything else. Therefore they deliver what is promised competently. They’re nothing amazing nor groundbreaking and in truth I wouldn’t want a whole series of them, but I get the feeling this is what the head executives at Disney were expecting when they signed off on the show and not whatever mess the main series turned out to be.

Night Bite

Rapunzel, Eugene, and the animals are out camping for the night and Max gets irritated by all the bugs.

What doesn’t work so well is the placement of some of the shorts. This particular short aired during season two and indeed that would make sense given that they are camping out here. Which why would they do that if they were still in Corona...

Yet some of the later shorts, which also aired during season two, clearly do take place in Corona debunking that theory. Just some context would be nice show, that’s all.

Also this short is meh.. not bad, not, good, just there.

Hiccup Fever

Rapunzel gets the hiccups and everyone in Corona seems to have advice on how to get rid of them, but only Eugene has the solution.

I’d argue that this is the funniest of the shorts. I legit laughed out loud at some points which is rare.

However it does sadly prove on thing.

Rapunzel was always a shit girlfriend, even before season three.

Being a douche to your boyfriend isn’t funny show.

Snowball

Rapunzel and Pascal plan to have some fun in the snow and things go awry.

So where and when is this exactly?

Unlike the other shorts, the context and setting for this one is paramount to whether or not Rapunzel is a simply lazy or a an outright dick.

For you see, Rapunzel had never been outside in the show before Queen for a Day. Ergo, this can only take place during the latter half of season one or during season two.

Now season two makes a lot of sense. They’re at some cabin in the woods that was never mentioned are seen on screen before and this did air during season two anyways. If that is the case then Raps just avoiding her planned road trip like always.

However, the last short and the next two also aired during season two and all of those do take place in Corona during season one and even the wiki states that they were all meant to take place during season one in original concept.

Yet if that is the case then Rapunzel is ignoring Varian right now and playing around in the thing that almost killed him...

Oh and that still doesn’t explain where this cabin is. Is it the mountain retreat that the King and Queen were going to spend their anniversary at?

What’s really mind boggling though is that they made this short in order to reuse the character models from Queen for a Day in order to save money, but then went and built this whole set that’s never seen outside of this short.

Like seriously who was on charge of the budget decisions in the series?

Hairdon't

Rapunzel offers to cut Eugene’s hair but then messes it up. She spends all day trying to stop Eugene from seeing his new do, but turns out the hairstyle becomes a hit with the Corona townspeople.

Rapunzel seriously lucked out here and it borderlines on the main series style levels of BS. She asks Eugene not to get upset before he sees what she’s done and, guess what, he is rightly upset.

Honestly the series needed to let Eugene get angry at Rapunzel for stuff. That’s what happens in relationships, you will make your partner mad at times and that’s ok. It’s all about how both of you handle that.

We never get to see how Eugene and Rapunzel would handle a real ordinary conflict and not just magic/ex girlfriend shenanigans that don't end with them putting off talking about it.

Even their best episodes in season two still are over conflicts that don’t have any immediate impact on their lives and are mostly hypotheticals to them, like kids or how other people should approach dating. And of course by season three Eugene is just reduced to a doormat.

Unicorn-y

Rapunzel tries to help Vladimir find his missing prized unicorn figurine in this spoof of old detective movies. Turns out Max and Pascal had found it and were using it to play chess.

Ok, first off, Eugene has the patience of a saint and deserves so much better than Raps and her bullcrap here. Same goes for Lance who is tied up as well during this scene.

But also this is another short that needed to be more than three mins long. The “mystery” is over before it even starts and the film noir parody only barely has time register in the viewer’s mind and then it’s over with.

Shorty’s Theme Song Takeover!

The last of the shorts aired after the show had ended as part of the Disney Channel’s on going promotional gimmick “Theme Song Takeover!”

Shorty finds Rapunzel’s journal and sings his own version of the show’s theme song, “Wind in my Beard”.

It’s ok.

All of Disney’s animated shows for the 2019/2020 line up has done one and some are funnier than than this and others not so. The Shorty one is pretty middle ground but what makes it work is that Rapunzel is completely oblivious to what’s going on and only Shorty, always the anomaly of the series, can perceive the fourth wall. Thus proving he was never really human.

As for placement, we know it’s season three cause of Rapunzel’s dress and they’re mostly likely inside the Snuggly Duckling right now. So just slot it in wherever you see fit.

Conclusion

That’s it for the shorts. The rest of Rapunzel’s Return should be up later this week and then hopefully I’ll be all caught up in time to cover the next episode next week.

A key feature of my gercan is the idea that everyone else is so confused by pair of them because they can simultaneously bring out the worst and best in each other. Ludwig prides himself on being calm and even-tempered but once Matthew threw the foulest German at him and Ludwig had to be dragged back into the trenches lest he run across No Man’s Land to personally break Matthew’s jaw.

Matthew has the patience of a saint from dealing with the 3 most narcissistic nations in the world (Alfred, Arthur & Francis) and yet Ludwig once sneezed during the peace conference and Matthew thew his teacup against the wall by Ludwig’s head and called him a plague rat.

I mean, Matthew learned German just to. make sure Ludwig knew he was insulting him. And its flawless. Ludwig once got Matthew banned from his zoos.

So, yeah, Arthur doesn’t know when they started dating but the last fight they had in public was over who got to carry the new puppy in the baby carrier. So.

#the worst part is that both Matthew and ludwig pretend not to remember their fights #ludwig says: sure we fought for a few years but now I can't imagine my life without him #Prussia: Jesus Christ I fucked up somewhere with you #and that's coming from the guy who's best friends have tried to murder him several times #Matthew: I could never hurt ludwig #Alfred: but you did. often

How does 2p!Hungary deal with the bs that is 2p!Austria trying to sell her soul?

With the patience of a saint!

But, before I elaborate, let me give you some backstory.

In the wake of the impending collapse of the Holy Roman Empire, Karlheinz - by then fed up with the direction Roderich was taking their lands, especially as it concerned the very much unwanted union with Spain - sold his soul to a demon in order to launch the Austrian Empire.

Unfortunately, Karl did not read the fine print of his contract, and the empire he long dreamt of lasted only sixty-three years. In that time, Erzsébet chafed against Austrian rule and joined her people in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, which they (unfortunately) lost.

To control this rebellious woman, Karl’s ruler placed the Hungarian estate under martial law, abolished both Hungary’s constitution and its territorial integrity. In this new Hungary, the Hungarian people had no power of their own and were at the mercy of an absolutist Austrian rule.

In 1866, Karl’s empire lost to the union of Germany, Prussia, and North Italy in an epic showdown known as the Austro-Prussian war.

And, to add insult to injury, Gilbert united the Northern Germanic territories to create a territory for his darling, amnesiac baby brother, Ludwig, and politely but firmly told Karlheinz to fuck off - after laughing over his triumph in Karl’s face, dealing a blow to the Austrian’s pride that he still hasn’t forgotten.

It is at this point Roderich steps in and tries to salvage what is left of his lands and people, and it is Roderich who proposes marriage to the Hungarian ladies.

Now, under normal circumstances, when two countries marry, the 2P is not held to that union. But under normal circumstances, the 2P also has very little to do with the politics of its lands and people, and is a foot soldier at best. Karl, in seizing the reins from Roderich, broke that long understood separation.

And he paid for it.

Roderich may have tolerated Karl’s takeover, but he would not tolerate Karl’s defeat, and so Karl was forced to join the Austria-Hungary union. Roderich’s logic was, “You got us into this mess, so you’re going to help us get out of it” - but probably he also hoped marriage would cool Karl’s ambitions.

Enter Jolana.

Jolana was well-used to avarice of Austrian rulers, being first the representative of the Nyék tribe, then of Western Hungary in general, and more specifically of Royal Hungary, the remaining Hapsburg-ruled part of Hungary during Ottoman Hungary. Behind her back, she was referred to the “German” Hungary.

If you ask Karl, Jolana was - and continues to be - the most incompetent, spineless, stupid girl he has ever have the displeasure to know. After all, she somehow managed to burn down his entire collection of dark texts while cleaning his study in that the first week of their “marriage.”

And so you have the tone of their entire relationship.

Every time Karl moves closer to summoning the demon of his original contract for a refund, Jolana manages to completely botch his work with her clumsy, bumbling ways. Truthfully, he would have killed her off by now if he’d thought it do any good - but then who would wash his underwear?

What Karl doesn’t know is that Jolana made a vow in her heart that she would not allow her once-husband to ever again summon such dark forces. So, since their union, she has worked tirelessly to protect the rest of Europe from Karl’s ambitions, no matter what that entails.

You asked how Jolana deals with the BS that is Karl trying to trade her soul to demons in exchange for the return of his soul.

The answer?

She leads the man in circles and to dead ends.

Karl doesn’t remember the spell he used to summon his contract demon, nor does he even remember the demon’s name. Such knowledge was contained within his library, but Jolana ‘accidentally’ burnt that down ages ago. Now he lives in search of two things: a summoning spell and a contact list of demons.

Unfortunately, he’s found neither. Every lead he follows takes him across the world - always when Jolana wants to go on a vacation, oddly enough - and leaves him empty-handed (and a fair bit poorer). But, this is what happens when Jolana works behind the scenes to feed Karl anonymous (false) tips.

It may be a bit surprising, but in spite of their divorce in 1918, Jolana still lives with Karl. By her reasoning, it’s just easier to keep track of Karl’s comically inept mischief when she’s in the next room, playing the role of bumbling maidservant and enjoying the ‘expeditions’ to her dream getaways.

(Karl may be nice to look at, but dear lord is he dumb as fuck.)
