#and s3: now that she has experienced freedom in another way she's able to make the choice to still live in corona

ok this might be weird but concerning the whole rapunzel wants to go on an adventure thing, do you think she wants to spend a lifetime travelling instead of being queen after plus est en vous because I recently saw I post said she should have gone with cass instead of staying with eugene because he is more of a settle down guy, so what are they trying to say here and what are your thoughts on it ?

ghsgdj trying to answer this without getting into ship stuff because honestly that's just what it is here (i have Thoughts about the idea that eugene just wants to settle down asfdhjd BEA was the first ep but it wasn't the only one 🙃), I think the problem here is just... I don't really understand what constitutes freedom for some people

Like the idea is that if Rapunzel is queen she will not be allowed to like... go outside corona ever again? She won't be allowed to explore? And i just. in s3 she was queen in all but name, and did that stop her from having adventures and taking the balloon to go to different places and in general having time to do what she wanted? Being queen is not the same as being kept in a tower by her abuser she's literally one of the most powerful person in the world! She can do whatever she wants lmao the whole point is that now she has a choice in what she does in life!

and the other thing is, rapunzel says multiple time that she likes being princess and she likes being queen. Yeah she went through some tough stuff but actively working to make things better for people in Corona is something she loves! I do not see her wanting to just... abandon all of that, and leave, when she enjoys being there for these people she cares about

So like, often this argument revolves around the idea that Rapunzel needs to be Absolutely Free and the only way to do that is for her to leave Corona but i don't know, personally i wouldn't feel free travelling constantly? Some people do and some people don't, bottom line being that freedom doesn't come in only one single form. I think in a lot of ways we're shown that Rapunzel loves being in Corona, and that it doesn't stop her from exploring when she wants to, but that she's also enjoying her freedom when she works to better the lives of people in her kingdom?

#i hope this makes sense fhdhdjd it's just... idk i think that someone who never had a home finally having one is very meaningful too #i also saw some variantions of this which were like 'she's only completely free to explore in s2 that's not enough' and i just #tts is like s1: she feels stuck in corona; s2: she can go wherever she wants #and s3: now that she has experienced freedom in another way she's able to make the choice to still live in corona #while still travelling when she wants #that's the general progression; rapunzel frees herself and finally is allowed to choose how she's gonna enjoy her freedom #and yeah 3 years is a short lapse of time to do that but. i am once again reminding people this is a CARTOON #TTS had three seasons to show this literally what kind of enjoyment would you get if it was stretched out for years to be more realistic? #they had these three beats to show us and they did; irl 1 year of exploring alone would be short but this is ONE THIRD of the show #THAT'S ACTUALLY QUITE A BIT OF TIME IN UNIVERSE #people are allowed their hcs and their interpretations but as it is? the narrative works fine and rapunzel being happy in corona makes sense #anyway yeah i tried to stay focus on what i think makes sense or not for rapunzel #because i don't really wanna go in the ship fighting thing #but also it's obvious that i have Thoughts about this so I'm gonna stop here gjjfjfjf #i hope this make sense!! #tts rambles
