That’s ah.

Rapunzel: I did. I broke it…

Captain: No. No, you didn’t. Fitzherbert?

Eugene: Don’t look at me. Look at CassAndra.

Cassandra: What?! I didn’t break it.

Eugene: Huh. That’s weird. How did you even know it was broken?

Cassandra: Because it’s sitting right in front of us and it’s broken!

Eugene: Suspicious.

Cassandra: No, it’s not!

Stan: If it matters, probably not… Pete was the last one to use it.

Pete: Liar! I don’t even drink that crap!

Stan: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

Pete: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that, Stan!

Rapunzel: Alright let’s not fight. I broke it, let me pay for it, Captain.

Captain: No. Who broke it?

Eugene: [whispering] Captain, Maximus has been awfully quiet…

Maximus: *indignent whinnying*

Eugene: Yeah, really!

*everyone arguing*

But god damn it I have never wanted so badly to work for a series as I have with this one. I've got to try. Just gotta finish these two storyboarding scenes in my project, and then I can apply. I can do this in a week.

A Tangled OC I put up on twitter! Professor Nicodemus, castle archivist/astronomer/know-it-all, Professor Nicodemus! Heavily based on the inimitable Prof. Ludwig von Drake, he's far too excitable, far too forgetful, insatiably hungry for knowledge and more stepstools in the archives. Don’t ask him questions or you’ll be there all day. And make the poor man miss lunch because he was too excited.

So I went into the other guards and I was originally going to go into these ones too, but given they only show up one or twice and we haven’t seen hide or hair of them in the new series, I figured I’d just briefly extrapolate.

Given how much fancier this fellow looks compared to the others, combined with the fact that in both times we see these guards they had no armor nor weapons, I’m going to guess this is an Honor Guard or Color Guard--even though it’s still sort of weird they have no weapons: usually even Honor/Color Guards still have weapons even if purely ceremonial. 

Cross straps are very very late 18th century/early 19th century, as is the clawhammer coat--which, given the colors and look, might be similar to what the regular guards wear underneath their breastplates.

Hat is an Albert Shako cap, more practical than the typical shako caps of the time. Not actually invented until 1844, popular in Britain.
