Hugo, I'll lend you gay water but please stop with the dairy.
so someone has a gay river full of gay water and i have a strong suspicion they're giving Hugo some of it
Why do you Anons like making my child sick? It’s just more of a mess for me to deal with than anything.
Do you guys think that Hugo is actually blonde but light blonde is just not his natural shade? That he made his hair lighter to— …Nevermind.
Even when Rapunzel figured everything out, Gothel is still using her usual manipulations.
"Why would you ask such a ridiculous question?"
Undermining Rapunzel and going in for a hug to show she still 'loves' her despite her stupid question.
But Rapunzel pushes her away, accusing her of everything. Gothel deflects, still playing the 'loving protective mother' role.
"Everything I did was to protect you."
But Rapunzel finally sees through her mask, and can't believe that Gothel's still trying to feed her the same bullshit she's given her for 18 years in order to control her. And she pushes her away again. She's done listening.
And it's here Gothel realizes she can't manipulate Rapunzel with her usual tactics anymore. But that doesn't mean she doesn't have another weapon up her sleeve.
"He won't be there for you."
So she brings up Eugene.
"What did you do to him?"
This time she doesn't bother denying that she's behind everything. But that's not the point. She brought up Eugene because she knows Rapunzel is going to ask about him. Then Gothel goes for the jugular.
"That criminal is to be hanged for his crimes."
She tells Rapunzel of Eugene's fate, and Gothel knows the news will devastate her. She thinks this is where she gets her control back. Eugene 'leaving' made Rapunzel run back to Gothel, and thinks his death will keep her in her grasp for good.
But even then that doesn't work either.
This is where Rapunzel completely breaks away from her. Only when Rapunzel denies Gothel her hair, her eternal youth, that Gothel finally puts down her mask. She doesn't need it anymore. She has another forceful way of controlling Rapunzel anyway.
("You say I'm the bad guy? So be it.")
(edit because i posted this in such a hurry and i still have more notes for this scene)
Just as Rapunzel sees the real Gothel, Gothel in turn finally sees the real Rapunzel. She's taken aback at her strength (i mean she knows Rapunzel pulls her entire weight up the tower several times a day but this is where she finally gets how strong she is as she tries to break free)
For years Gothel has a tight grip on her, now she is in Rapunzel's. The power dynamic has shifted, and Rapunzel uses this to tell Gothel straight to her face that she can't control her anymore. And Gothel sees this tiny girl finally stand up against her and sees what she's really capable of.
And bitch is terrified.
Stop lying to us and yourself you lying liar
here a bedtime story ^^;
once upon a time, there was an idiot named Hugo Stupido. Stupido drank soda vodkas and ate a shit ton of dairy, despite being lactose intolerant (and then wondered why he was drunk). He then falls in love with a boy like the faggot he is and lives drunkingly ever after ^^
this is not inspired btw trust
Wow. Maybe I should tell this story to my son tonight to help him sleep. (Or whisper it in his ear while he sleeps to knock some sense into him.)
Happy birthday Varian!!! (Might be a little late whoops)
Every time someone brings up the topic of Varian can't wearing skirts but Hugo can it's so fucking tiring to me
Both characters can be complex in gender
Both characters can wear whatever at any giving time
The clothes don't have gender or sex, they are a form of expression.
You can wear a fucking skirt and not giving a fuck
You can wear pink as a guy and not giving a fuck
If it applies for one character it can apply for the other too
Fiction is fiction but fiction is still expression.
A character is a vessel for you to explore the character and yourself on the way
I'm tired of repressed views in fictional media
I'd need to write it down since right now it's just a bunch of ideas floating around my head, but I love the idea of Varian finding out about Hugo at some point before the finale, and giving him a second chance. Then the finale happens, Donella says some things, and it looks like Hugo broke his promise and wasn't deserving of Varian's second chance. That would be why Varian would be upset, in my eyes. This plot hole has been bugging me for so long, you're onto something
I personally hate vat7k fics or posts that have Varian being all angsty and crying over Hugo double crossing them. One, because Varian isn’t one to cry easily, he wouldn’t cry over Hugo, and two, because Varian knows all too well that circumstances can lead people to do bad things and he quite literally comes from the kingdom of second chances. He’s a reformed criminal, his brother figure/hero is a reformed criminal, all his friends are reformed criminals, he knows the power that second chances can hold. Everyone who is a bad person has the potential and capacity to still do good and be good, he himself is a country bumpkin turned terrorist turned shadow ruler turned royal engineer.
And I’ve never seen a fic where Hugo promises he’s good only to break a promise he made, (mostly because Varian would outright deck him for seemingly no reason and tell him to not make promises) and Varian is frankly too smart to have never considered the possibility of Hugo having alternative motives (the guy steals a totem then comes back wanting to be friends??? It doesn’t make sense; obviously Varian would theorize).
Don’t get me wrong, Varian would be absolutely pissed at first and would probably storm into the eternal library out of spite. It just wouldn’t be in a “I’m crying and need to escape this situation” kind of way. More in a “I’m so pissed and I’m so stupid I need to cool off and come back to this later” kind of way. Although he doesn’t get to come back for a while after…
Hc that Nuru just has sparkles following her around everywhere she walks. Like nobody can explain it she just does.
