Other girls want flowers and jewellery and fancy car rides and dinners and shopping spree on bf's card.

Me?

I just want a handsome cardiac suregon, with the tendency to name pets after medicine, who seems cold, but has heart of gold, boba eyes and who will care for me quietly.

Just want him to come out of that little phone screen and be real.

She does. Fundamentally, Rapunzel is a quirky Disney character that works. For one simple reason: She's not quirky for the sake of being quirky.

Rapunzel is "quirky" because she has lived her entire life isolated in a tower, her only company being her 'mother' and Pascal. She has zero life experience. She has no friends. She knows nothing. Her being "quirky" is a direct result of never living in civilization and thus not knowing the social norms (ex. wearing shoes) something that we percieve as making someone 'quirky'

This "quirkiness" is used to show how she is naive to the world, and the movie does an amazing job playing into this while also showing that she's not just a 'quirky' naive little girl, she's also really bloody smart and competent when it comes to hitting people with a frying pan.

Her character is built on even more in the animated series -- Tangled Before Ever After -- She's still super 'quirky' and I will admit in a few episodes it's WAY too 'quirky' for my taste, but that's not her main character trait. After season 1 you don't see her as that one 'quirky' character, because that's not who she is. Unlike recent characters whose main personality trait is being different, that's not Rapunzel.

Current 'quirky' Disney characters do not work because that is their main character trait. Rapunzel is quirky, however that is not who she is. Please, for the love of god, stop lumping her in with 'quirk'y characters you dislike just because she is (most likely) the reason Disney went in this direction with newer characters.

With love, Someone whose favourite Disney princess is Rapunzel

think about it. music room is a rather closed space compared to the library and them being a couple and making out in a very open and public space means much more. on the other hand, when you have problems, you try to work it out in a safe place but you wouldn't choose to broadcast it to strangers. so you would rather be alone.

I do. But my mind and imagination are more like a dry well than lush jungle. And no, I'm not looking for excuses.

Here, take this while I gather my draft notebook together:
