Something I feel that was a lost opportunity...

You know, we added some of the pub thugs, namely Hook Foot, to the main cast of RTA, but they never really utilized him in any sort of meaningful way aside from letting him help Lance do the Actual Physical Heavy Lifting when it came to the caravan, and then there was that whole thing with the mermaid and the storyline with Hook Hand... but they were standalone episodes, I'm talking about something that would have made him important (besides physical labor) to the actual main cast.

They could have used him when Cass's arm got burned after the Great Tree. They could have shown him trying to help Cass, not in a "romantic interest" kind of way, because that wouldn't make sense for either of their characters, but just in a friendly "I know you're in pain, I've lost a limb before I know what this is like, it's okay." way.

Because that's exactly what Hook Foot has - his leg is not actually a fashion statement (well, it kind of is), but rather it's a functional part of him that allows him to live his every day life in a modified way. Does it look bad-ass? Yes, but have you seen the guy move with that thing? That means it's functional. And before any one of you tell me that it's simply a body mod... as someone who lives as an amputee, let me tell you that nothing about an amputation is optional or even in the same realm as 'body modification'. (We're not talking about that psychological syndrome in which people want to chop off their limbs, we're leaving that out of the equation for one minute.) So please do not confuse an amputee's life with someone who is dedicated to body modification, because it is not the same at all.

That being said, when Cass went evil, it would have been a great exchange to see Eugene talking it over with Hook Foot or one of the other disabled pub thugs (there are several who are missing limbs) and having one of them ask him, "Have you ever lost a part of yourself, Fitzherbert? Why do you think we turned to a life of crime? We had other dreams, you know." and it would've been perfectly on-brand, but maybe a little bit too introspective for TTS. Before some of you say, "But that's going to frame people with disabilities in a bad light." speaking as someone who has an actual physical disability - no it would not. You would definitely have to write it properly, and do your research, but it could have added a layer to Cass's grief besides the petty "you took my Mom away from me" argument.

The sibling rivalry angle is kind of old, and did not really apply to Cass and Raps because they were not raised together as sisters. I'm not saying that they couldn't end up viewing each other in a similar light but it's kind of a reach, IMO. Also, a conversation like this would have provided a good opportunity for Eugene to actually - oh I don't know - act like a Big Brother to Cass and act concerned about her well-being instead of constantly trying to one-up her or make her look bad. Give me something to work with besides the throwaway line, "She's like a sister to me."

Oh yeah, buddy? Fuckin' prove it.

What I am not saying with this post, is I'm not saying that anything would have worked. Just because you are nice to people, just because you give people the benefit of the doubt, just because you give them every opportunity to do the right thing, doesn't mean that they will. In that case, they could have turned Cass into a Real Villain by actively not accepting any help that she was given... but what pisses me off about Cass's arc is that it seemed that no one actually tried. Ya'll can fight me about that.

Going back to the disabilities thing though, it would have been a profound way to expound on disability awareness because when you are forced to modify your every day activities then that comes with its own levels of grief, anger, and resentment and wishing that things would just go back to normal so that you could just get on with your life - nothing about having a disability is fun, especially one that gets in your way of physically getting around.

While Cass's disability was not leg related, it still hampered the way she lived her life, if you look in certain screenshot after the Great Tree it's clear to see that she is in PAIN while using that arm and pain can cause you to react in emotional ways that aren't always logical to someone who is able-bodied and not in pain. I'm just saying we lost a valuable opportunity.

tangled x mayrthur (mary/arthur)

in this au, mary's mother gets sick but doesn't die- in her sickness, her husband takes control of the kingdom and becomes a ruthless tyrant, citizens go behind his back and work to heal the queen

queen gets healed, gives birth to mary, chases her husband out of the kingdom, husband steals mary away

queen spends years searching for mary, never finds her, remarries, has jamie

arthur steals the crown with mac and davey, they get separated, no betrayal, mac and davey get caught by the guard while arthur escapes, finds mary, he's smitten already

marys father doesnt hide behind niceties, he's much more cruel than mother gothel, i would say its more of a cinderella situation for mary where mary actuals gets her skills n hobbies when he's out of the tower, she still has her long hair n healing powers

the pub thugs are the van der linde gang, arthur takes her there so that they can help her n so that he can discuss mac n daveys capture n how to save em

agent milton n agent ross are the guards

and thats really all i can think of rn - lemme know what you think n if u wanna add onto it feel free to <3

i dont know if this fandom is very big

but to my toa/tangled fans...

krel's face shape is pretty similar to rapunzel's, give or take some mass in the slope of the cheeks to the chin. I found this out while making an extremely self-indulgent gaylen!krel tangled toa au a while back. here's my sources. the sketches are two years old please ignore how bad they are

the idea was that Gaylen's Core was shallowly embedded in Krel's chest (still removable with a knife or smthn without too much damage), whoever you ship Krel with (or if you don't, Aja) rescues him from the tower. morando is gothel. fialkov and coranda get to be alive. varvatos is the captain of the guard, a tiny, Pascal-sized Luug is. well. Pascal. Buster is Maximus. Stuart is a pub thug.

So... yeah

Only an entire week late to celebrate the 12th anniversary.

I guess for my two cents, what I love most about “Tangled” upon rewatching was how genuine and real everything is. You see, most family/ kids movies and shows have REALLY simple dialogue. Not all of them, of course, but most of them feel the need to have very floundered (or flat) characters that speak in animated tones. Like, they’re trying to jingle keys in front of kids just to get them to understand. I’ll gladly say that classic Disney movies don’t feel that way (most of the time), but what I love about Tangled is that it’s a simple fantasy story, but it doesn’t feel dumbed down at all.

Characters talk and act like regular people and not like caricatures or stereotypes. Rapunzel is bubbly and talks very peppy, but she still has quiet moments and can get angry at times (especially towards her kidnapper). Eugene has a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor, yet a caring and shy side to him that makes sense for his backstory. Gothel is a wicked “stepmom” if you want to go with that archetype, but she has an UNCANNY amount of realism to her dialogue. Even though she's a old-fashioned Disney villain, there are PLENTY of people in the world who use her exact same type of abuse and manipulation.

Of course, this doesn’t apply to all characters, but for a movie with a magical Disney princess who wants to see the world, everything feels so grounded. The healing magic is (mostly) the only real mystical thing in the world (until the series -_-) and even then, it’s treated very realistically and incorporates the magic system in a clever way with the ending.

No, it’s not 100% realistic. You still have horses that act like doggos, pub thugs that can burst into song, and a thief that’s pardoned for all his crimes at the end, but for the type of movie it is, it doesn’t treat its audience like kids. It has a very believable world, romance, villain and tone, and that’s why I won’t ever stop watching it.

Also, it took me years to understand that “I don’t remember most of it” joke, so good on it for having subtle adult humor lol

#I also have like a billion more things I like about the movie but we can save that for another month #tangled #tangled 12th anniversary #also sorry for no fan art #it's been a BIG semester #hopefully I'll have more time during the holidays for some new dream fluff

And At Last I See The Light - A SebeSil Tangled AU

Had this AU stuck in my head for awhile

Where Silver as Rapunzel

Sebek as Flynn Rider/Eugene

Lilia as Mother Gothel

And Malleus as Pascal (I don't regret this at the same time I want him to feel included too)

!! Giving you guys a little heads up but long post up ahead !!

So we start off with the basic plot of Tangled where a magical flower that heals people sprouts out, which will be used by Lilia to stay young, but the flower gets taken because it was used as a cure for the ill Queen (who also happened to be pregnant). After that, the Queen gives birth to a baby with silver hair (number one reason for this au: imagining silver with long hair), which possesses the same healing powers as the flower. Lilia discovers this while sneaking into the castle one night, but it loses its powers once cut off (look i don't wanna make it lose its color like the original okay I like Silver's hair color 😭). Of course, we don't forget what happens where Mother Gothel kidnaps Rapunzel and takes her to a tower, to raise as her own. Which Lilia does to Silver as well (come on this might be possible with chapter 7 yknow 👀). The Royal Family was devastated with the disappearance of their son, so every year on Silver's birthday, they release sky lanterns in hopes for him to see and use it as a way to find his way home.

While Lilia wasn't a bad parent (except for his cooking, in which the birds have to sneak some berries to Silver so that he has something to eat), he is very protective of his son, but that doesn't stop Silver's curiousity from rising about the lights that always appear during his birthday . Since his 18th birthday was approaching, he decided to ask his father if they can see the lights in person. But Lilia refuses, saying that the outside world is too dangerous for someone like Silver (oh boy the amount of gaslighting in the original), which discourages him at first, but he gets comforted by Malleus (I've been giggling over Malleus as Pascal I'm sorry ya'll it's just too funny not to pass up). Later, we are introduced to Zigvolt (there is a reason for this just trust the process), a thief who works under Azul and was tasked to steal the lost prince's crown together with the Leech twins (yes I am bringing the fish mafia here because why not). It was a success but the guards found out which caused Zigvolt to separate from the twins, with the crown in hand, and seek refuge in the tower. Silver knocks him out though, hides Zigvolt in the closet in which he shows to Lilia as proof that he can take care of himself. But Lilia won't budge at all, so Silver decided to send his father on a trip to find the perfect gift for him.

Once Lilia was away, Zigvolt awakens tied to a chair with Silver's hair. This is where the bickering between the two starts (of course SebeSil won't be complete without the fighting), save Malleus from their fighting. But they come up with a compromise, Zigvolt will get the crown if he takes Silver to see the lanterns. They both escape the tower and start their little adventure in the outside world. They first visit a small pub, where thugs try to get Zigvolt caught (ya'll know those scenes where Eugene sees his wanted posters, but they keep fucking up his nose, yeah do that with Sebek but fuck up his eyebrows) but Silver's Disney Princess TM charms come to the rescue, since he ends up unintentionally charming them into helping them escape once the guards came in. But what they didn't know is that Lilia came back early, with a gift in tow, but the tower was empty and soon he finds the hidden crown. It doesn't take long for Lilia to notice what was going on, so he goes out to find Silver and along the way he teams up with the Leech twins.

Back to our main boys, they get into more trouble with the guards once again, which leads them to nearly drowning in a flooding cave. Thinking that he was going to die, Zigvolt reveals his first name to Silver, which is Sebek (see what I did there). But Silver reveals that his powers could help them find an exit. After nearly escaping death, they reside in the forest for the night, but Sebek was injured while making their escape.Silver then wraps his hair around Sebek's wound, sings the incantation and boom it's now healed, which scares Sebek once again cuz holy shit we got hair that glows and heals people. I just want that part to be the start of Sebek falling for Silver, but he doesn't realize it yet.

After that, they actually start talking about their lives (omg no bickering for once), how Silver's been stuck in the tower all his life with only Lilia and Malleus as his companions and Sebek's family being ridiculed due to his parent's marriage which lead to him stealing for a living. Of course, Sebek asks Silver as to why he keeps his hair obnoxiously long, Silver then explains about the magic of his hair, how the incantation he sang earlier was a way to trigger it, and cutting his hair off makes him lose the power. After hearing about Sebek's story, Silver's only way of comforting is by hugging him, reassuring him that even though he has no idea on how to comfort someone, he's willing to listen (causing Sebek's feelings to act up). But good things don't last long as Lilia overheard everything, but only appeared when Sebek was away, he then hands the crown to Silver telling him to use it as a way to test Sebek's loyalty.

Fast forward to morning, Sebek wakes up first to see a breathtaking sight of Silver sleeping with animals surrounding him. Not wanting to wake up the sleeping beauty just yet he leaves the area to find food, in which he gets caught by one of the guard's hunting wolves, Jack (and yes the wolf boy shall now become Maximus in this au). Silver then wakes up to the commotion (let's just imagine that Silver doesn't have his sleeping curse in this au, but he's still a deep sleeper) , and once again the Disney Princess charms go into action as it stops Jack from trying to eat Sebek and just go to Silver for some headpats. Jack then joins them on their journey (under the condition that he'll get headpats if he wont send Sebek to jail) as they encounter more people all the way to the kingdom (use this as an opportunity for our two main leads to fall in love with one another). As soon as they reached the festival, they had a blast. Hanging out with the townsfolk, braiding Silver's hair to make it at least shorter and Sebek talking to fellow men, and the moment Sebek sees Silver playing with the children, that's when he knew, it was love. When Sebek and Silver dance together with the townsfolk, Silver starts falling for him too (just seeing the guy being himself made him fall even deeper). As they were going to see the lanterns they encounter a painting of the royal family, in which feels familiar to Silver, especially the baby looks a lot like him. They get on a boat (leaving Jack and Malleus behind, but I have a reason for Malleus) and sail to see the lights.

And now let's go to my favorite scene in the original movie which gives us the iconic song "I See The Light". LIKE JUST IMAGINE THE TWO OF THEM DUETING THIS SONG IT'S JUST SO 💘💘💘💘, and maybe throw in a little kiss in the end, which leaves the two of them flustered. But that brings them to confess their love for one another (with a lot of screaming from Sebek of course), the two stay in the shore for awhile, just savoring the moment. Once they got back on land, Silver gives back the crown as part of their agreement. While Sebek was trying to return the boat back, he encounters his colleagues, the twins. Sebek tries to negotiate with them by offering the crown, but they beat him up and tied him to the boat to get him arrested and make Silver think that he left him. They also try to capture Silver as well, but Lilia comes to the "rescue" and drags him back to the tower.

The way the townsfolk looked at him like he was familiar and the baby in the painting all made sense now, Silver now realizes that he was the "missing prince" the kingdom was looking for. Silver then confronts Lilia about this discovery, which made his father come clean, about using him to simply stay young forever. This leads to the two of them fighting, with Lilia succeeding easily. Meanwhile with Sebek, he was able to escape from the boat with the help of Malleus, Jack and Silver's animal friends as he rushes back to the tower. Upon reaching the tower, he finds Silver bounded and gagged which gave Lilia the opportunity for him to stab Sebek from behind (a fatal one too can't forget that). While Sebek is slowly dying, Lilia tries to drag his son to a new hiding place but Silver keeps fighting him off, saying that he will willingly go if he heals Sebek first. Lilia reluctantly agrees as Silver immediately rushes to his aid, crying how he didn't mean for all this to happen. While healing him, Sebek realizes that Silver has to be kept prisoner due to his powers, he uses the opportunity to say his (supposedly) last words as he cuts off Silver's hair. This causes Lilia to start aging rapidly as he doesn't have any powers to feast on anymore, and turns into dust while falling off the tower.

Silver starts crying even more because he wasn't able to save Sebek, but his one of his tears still held the healing power, which landed on Sebek's wound, saving his life. They once again savor the moment with a kiss and reunite with their two animal friends. Silver also reunites with his real parents in the kingdom, but a lot of begging had to be done to pardon Sebek from his crimes. But hey at least they got their happy ending now ✨.
