Uh, OUCH??? I Love This Headcanon So Much!

"Send me drawing pro-" I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED

Uhh how bout Rapunzel? OO BRAIN THINGY

Rapunzel in a suit??? Plssss

HEREEEE YOU ARE!!! after literally forever

Pretty sure that's still happening and I'm just waiting until I wake up at this point

i distinctly remember dreaming about everyone using Varian as a brush in ibispaint and it was irreversible and terrifying

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.

I know the animation industry has been going through a serious rough patch in the past 10 years. I just hope the medium and the artists making it can get the respect they deserve someday soon. So I wanna take a moment to spread a reminder of the powerful emotional scenes we've gotten from animation in the past 10 years.

This is just making me want to write a fic abt Hugo's backstory but I gotta wait until I finish the rest of Vat7k which will be like two different fics 🥲

Random idea that's been living in my head rent free and I needed to yap about it even a little: Hugo doesn't have wanted posters. Like at all. Donella made sure to get rid of all of them because dealing with her employee/son being wanted in like a million towns and kingdoms and whatever would just be a hassle. Donella did keep at least one of them, maybe Hugo's very first since he started working for her. So if in one of the trials (maybe the iron trial) Varian finds Hugo's wanted poster in Donella's base... I really wanna figure out what would happen

I think Varian should call Hugo “Blondie” but kind of unintentionally. It just comes out. He’s so used to hearing Eugene affectionately refer to his beloved partner as Blondie, that when Varian and Hugo become close, he too begins to affectionately refer to Hugo as Blondie.

He’s not intentionally trying to copy Eugene, he doesn’t even realize what he’s doing, until he does it in front of him- and dies of embarrassment. Rapunzel thinks it’s adorable though.

And even if Eugene vehemently hates Hugo at the time, he can’t help but be a little fond of how he rubbed off on Varian.

they enter every establishment like this probably

happy valentine’s day!!! 💚🩵🩷

I think I'm too far gone in this fandom. If you asked me who my favourite character was back when I only knew about the movie, I'd probably say Rapunzel or Pascal. Now if you ask me the same question I'll say the eternal library.

Donella and Cyrus as wlw and mlm solidarity

Thank you.
