me a while ago, seeing fanart of POC varian: that’s a neat concept!
me, getting back into this fandom: …HOLY SHIT WAIT that would add so much to s1. the persecution he faces from the king and his village. the way he’s vilified. even the s3 stuff, like how he has a fawn response around the mains and how hard he has to work for them in order to be treated like he belongs, though he’s apparently only paid for his efforts when he becomes the royal engineer-instead-of-alchemist… people who depict POC varian, you geniuses.
fanartists, i’m curious. did you factor in everything that canonically happens when you reimagined varian in that way, or did you make the drawings first?
(warning for a small essay in the tags)
sometimes a character does include little “heh”s in their dialogue that would feel unnatural not to write (varian) and sometimes a character is so incredibly smirky that to write his smile as anything else would be a lie (hugo)
only been on tumblr for a few days and already it’s like “yeah this is where i go. this is my enclosure.”
would. would the tangled the series/vat7k fandom send me some asks about my headcanons/thoughts regarding the Characters. is that a thing i can request.
do you ever look at someone and think “i miss the days when i could rely on you”
just for clarification:
disliking parts of the way rapunzel’s character was handled in the show =/= disliking her.
movie!rapunzel means a lot to me personally, and i absolutely adore some aspects of her character in the show. i think she’s loving, creative, funny, intelligent, and she tries her best to help the people around her.
if i have a critique with her in the show, it’s because i believe that isn’t how she’d behave as someone who went through the events of the movie. or maybe i look at how she acts for one episode of the show, compare it to the foundation they’ve established in an earlier episode, and find that they contrast one another. my criticisms are for the inconsistent or out-of-character writing, not for rapunzel herself. i understand she has flaws; i just wish they were addressed properly and that she didn’t always have to be in the right.
you’re welcome to reblog this if you feel the same way.

choosing to believe that rapunzel didn’t check on varian because she got hit by the Bad Writing Curse that left her suspended translucently in the air for the three to five months that passed. she was just ghostly and floating in a comatose state with the words BAD WRITING CURSE printed in times new roman font down the length of her body. and then the three to five months were up and she was suddenly rejuvenated. and nobody else checked on him because they were all so worried about her. and then varian learns of the curse and asks “is that what made me make the ‘sweep you off your feet’ joke?” and everybody says some variation of “no, that was just you being a cringey teenager.” and he goes “dang it” and kicks one of his prison bars.
just realized that most people will go their entire lives without hearing “nothing left to lose” and that honestly shook me up a bit.
love when theres a character whose entire existence is spoiler tagged by default. go behind the curtain boy
