Trying To Draw Timeskip Hugo And I Don't Even Know What To Do With His Hair. Like I Made It Longer So

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.

Team radical goes to the spire and meets Calliope and it's just a contest to see who can out "uhm actually" the other

when I learn to animate, I'm so doing this! Though maybe I'll change some things to fit with my version of Vat7k.

Something something, Scylla from Epic song- Having to do with Hugo and Varian and betrayal. Varian like has this huge prejudice against Hugo throughout the whole thing, having to do with a lot of things- Hugo just betrayed their group and V and him had this huge argument where they're on terrible terms atp. Hugo fought back in this argument mostly bc he just wanted to V to see where he was coming from and how much he didn't want it to happen. Varian's beyond heartbroken rn, just shattered and numb that he trusted someone to just have it broken again. It's kinda like The Great Tree incident with Raps and Cassandra on terms of strained but make it 80 times worse. So like they're in front of this giant library type building in my mind right- but like- huge- its HUGE and the doors are very very much locked and this is where the song starts- The lair of Scylla This is our only way home

Deep down

Hugo: "You're quiet today"

Deep down

Varian: "Not much to say"

Deep down

Ulla voice:You hide a reason for shame

H: I've got a secret I can no longer keep

Deep down

Ulla voice:You know that we are the same ( in this context she's like, hiding. )

H: I opened the wind bag while you were asleep

^ ( basically, Hugo admits to at one point having an opportunity to leave Donella, but in return he gets completely disowned, and Hugo didn't want to lose her. He didn't want to choose, but he obviously looked up to Donella like a parent figure. Since she's all he had)

Ulla voice: Leaving them feeling betrayed

Breaking the bonds that you've made

H:I'm so sorry

There is no price we won't pay

H: Forgive me

We both know what it takes to survive

Full speed ahead, full speed, full speed ahead Full speed ahead

Deep down

We only care for ourselves

Varian: Eurylochus, light up six torches

^ ( basically, he's just ignoring Hugo like Ody did originally )

Deep down, we're lonely demons from hell

( Ehe, so they use the staff to go inside the library. Its dark and the only light is these blue flaming torches on the walls. Very spooky lighting. )

Hugo: Captain, something approaches

^ ( they hear some shuffling, and Hugo's like "wtf was that-"

( Ulla, showing herself slowly in her weird ghost-like form, not in a pretty way. She's terrifying. )

^

Hello

(The gang stands there for a minute, Varian, not even recognizing his mom yet, just tells them to run )

... Run for your lives!

Ulla, attacking them: Drown in your sorrow and fears!

Choke on your blood and your tears!

Bleed 'til you've run out of years!

We. must. do. what. it. takes. to. survive!

Give up your honor and faith!

Live up your life as a wraith!

Die in the blood where you bathe

We must do what it takes to survive!

( Ulla, and then like- Hugo and V, mentally- )

^ We are the same, you and I, I

End

I dont want to see ANY of yall say ANYTHING.

oh damn, I just thought they paused production. That's actually kinda funny. The live action remake reign of terror is over guys!!

Suppose Tangled did have a sequel in the future. In that case, they'll probably de-canonise Tangled the series/Rapunzel's tangled adventure like replacing Varian with a female or an elderly alchemist, or that one book called "What Once was Mine: A Twisted Tale" where Cassandra was replaced with a thief named Gina. Or the book titled "Mother Knows Best: A Tale of the Old Witch" based on Mother Gohtel. Where it doesn't reference Gothel being part of the Zhan Tiri followers, or the new book coming next year called Rootbound: A Tangled Novel, where it wouldn't base its novel on the series. But maybe because the author wanted to do their own take on the movie, and not bases off a show. Varian and the seven kingdoms (Cancelled idea for a spinoff of the series) are already scrapped and would probably be the project that Disney's portfolio of scrapped and abandoned projects. And the spinoff for Tangled the series will probably be Eugene and Lance, or Cassandra.

I just know I'll listen to it and then add it to my list of animatics straight after

OKAY HEAR ME OUT

Only Us from Dear Evan Hansen but Hugarian. Listen listen listen listen listen listen liste

IT’S THEM. TRUST.

Honestly just just just DEH is so Hugo-coded look I’m very normal I PROMISE I’M NORMAL ABOUT THEM

For every like Elon Musk gets a kick to the balls, for every reblog Trump gets fucking punched

Happy birthday Varian!!! (Might be a little late whoops)

Almost forgot to post this but a while ago we made clay animals and I chose a raccoon and just turned it into Varian.
