Maybe Because It’s So Subtly Done Throughout The Show It Feels So Natural - Blog Posts

So I mentioned I would do this in a thread the other day with @tangledbea and I’m finally doing it. I honestly think the evolution of the way Rapunzel uses her powers is so dang underrated. She spent her whole life just sustaining Gothel, being fueled paranoia that people would use her for her magic. And yet throughout the show we see that proven wrong time and again and yet…Rapunzel never really volunteers to use it for Corona all that much outside of big fights. Until PEEV, where Rapunzel uses her powers to save everyone. And I just-….there’s such an interesting dichotomy to that; Rapunzel being so afraid that anyone could use her for her power and then using it to save her kingdom without even being told to. Because SHE chose to, SHE wanted to help.
