This side of her doesn’t get talked about enough and it’s a shame because it’s my favourite side of her! 🥰

Please let me know!

- Tale of Two Sisters: Cass watching out for Rapunzel by moving her away from the green fire even though they are on opposite sides. Also their short heart-to-heart convo about their season 2 memories is the first time Cass smiled at Rapunzel in s3.

The full version was never recorded, but Glenn Slater (the lyricist) released the full lyrics on Twitter.

THERE’S A LINE BETWEEN THE WINNERS AND THE LOSERS. THERE’S A LINE BETWEEN THE CHOSEN AND THE REST. AND I’VE DONE THE BEST I COULD, BUT I’VE ALWAYS KNOWN JUST WHERE WE STOOD– ME HERE WITH THE LUCKLESS YOU THERE WITH THE BLESSED.

AND THAT LINE BETWEEN THE BEGGARS AND THE CHOOSERS IS A LINE YOU NEVER LET ME QUITE IGNORE. HOW I’VE TRIED TO JUMP THAT GREAT DIVIDE! BUT I NEVER GOT THE CHANCES YOU WERE GIVEN. YOU DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH I’VE BEEN DENIED– WELL, I’M NOT BEING PATIENT ANY MORE–

I’M CROSSING THE LINE! SO GET OUT OF MY WAY, ‘CAUSE I’M NOT GONNA PLAY BY YOUR RULES. IT’S MY TIME TO SHINE, I DON’T NEED YOUR OK– AND I’M DONE BEING ONE OF THE FOOLS– I’M CROSSING THAT LINE.

THERE ARE LINES THAT I’VE BEEN WAITING IN FOREVER– THERE ARE LINES I’VE ALWAYS FELT I HAD TO TOE. SOME WERE BLURRY, SOME UNSEEN, SOME I’VE HAD TO LEARN TO READ BETWEEN– SO MANY BOUND'RIES, FAR MORE THAN YOU KNOW!

BUT THE LINE YOU THINK CONNECTS US BOTH TOGETHER? THAT’S A LINE THAT I’M NOT FALLING FOR AGAIN. ‘CAUSE THIS TIME, MY EYES ARE OPEN WIDE– I’VE BEEN TRAPPED BY LINES YOU NEVER HAD TO LIVE IN. YOU WERE NEVER REALLY ON MY SIDE, SO I’M DOING WHAT I SHOULD HAVE, WAY BACK WHEN–

DISNEY, HOW MUCH MORE GOOD CONTENT DO YOU HAVE TO CUT FROM US??? 😭

The sundrop is meant to be the “good” force, so to speak, while the moondrop is “bad.” But I’d like to say that one is painful and the other is wondrous (to quote Varian). Any transformation with the Sundrop feels like you’re being bathed in sunlight, like Gothel using it to turn her young. Though I feel like possessing it in the way Rapunzel did in the finale to heal everyone might feel like you’re being burned alive. And the moondrop. I headcanon that the transformation is painful. Like in the show its shown to be painful (rewatch the scene of Cass transforming and you’ll see the black rock armor and all that seeming to be excruciating). Considering that the energy from the Moonstone is electricity or whatever the magic equivalent of that is, I imagine it feels like being electrocuted when you possess it. And considering the fact that its energy resulted in Edmund losing an arm and his wife dying, I think thats what it feels like. I forgot the artist but I remember seeing someone make headcanons about what the armor did to Cass, and I really liked them(if i find the artist ill put their account) . To summarize a bit, they involve a lot of death elements, seeing as the moondrop exemplifies that. Like Cass’ organs kind of just stop needing to work and the moonstone powers her body. I like the idea of the sundrop being “life” and the moonstone being “death”. The incantations are of course a result of this, that being the healing and the decay incantations and the destruction the black rocks caused.

Also I’ve seen people make ideas for the Sundrops own equivalent to the black rocks. I’ve seen like fire or something like that and I think thats cool. My idea is like beams of sunlight that don’t change with the sun and they’re hot to touch. It’s hard to tell if theyre there or not but when you touch em you need immediate medical attention. Rapunzel’s hair is the only thing that can touch/break them. Idk thats just the idea I had.

And it was odd because a lot of these people used to like her.

And some very surface level investigation (aka clicking their blog), showed they were all interacting with this one New Dream fan blog who HATES her, and just like...... it's sad.

One single blog with a bad take is genuinely out here making the fandom worse and smaller because they can't handle the idea of there being people enjoying a more extensive fandom than this one singular ship.

Like you don't have to be into Cassandra. You don't have be into Vt7k. You don't have to like every character or every ship. But the moment you start being actively hateful, you are making the fandom worse for everyone including yourself.

"I thought a lot about how we left things and it makes me sad" serving cunt

"it's not that I don't trust you, oh wait that's exactly it."

"They were going to send me to a convent, literallyyyyy, a convent"

Moonsandra was her ✨ era ✨

ressentiment is a sense of hostility directed toward an object that one identifies as the cause of one's frustration, that is, an assignment of blame for one's frustration. The sense of weakness or inferiority complex and perhaps even jealousy in the face of the "cause" generates a rejecting/justifying value system, or morality, which attacks or denies the perceived source of one's frustration.

Paired with the similar way Midgar (final fantasy 7) treats its poor but adding the wall Midgar has around it also keeping others out (instead of the natural cliff in Ishgard, it feels more Ingvarr to have a big metal wall in the way). I don’t necessarily envision them having a whole plate between them, but I do imagine there are citizens who live under a sort of steel sky, living underground predominantly

And throwing in St Petersburg specifically from Anastasia

1. There are very little to no consequences to this. Cassandra never even learns that Rapunzel told Eugene about their trip. At best, the conflict is resolved by Rapunzel accepting Cassandra's wishes and respecting her boundaries for the rest of the episode, at worst Cassandra completely disregards her own feelings for the sake of Rapunzel and their friendship.

2. The whole "if you had just told me how you feel, none of this would have happened" narrative of season 3/2. Okay kids, communication is key, except that. whenever Cassandra does talk about what she wants, she's being completely ignored. The narrative acts like Rapunzel and Cassandra are equally at fault for the issues between them, like Cassandra isn't repeatedly expected/forced to do something she's uncomfortable with and when she speaks up, nothing changes.
