TTS Cass being insanely jealous of Gothel abandoning her for Rapunzel when Cass knows Gothel sucked (literally stole Rapunzel and kept her prisoner for almost 2 decades) and when Cass has a loving stepfather is still so fucking stupid. And it doesn’t even make sense in the context of Crossing the Line.

#crossing the line is clearly about power dynamics/rapunzel having more political and social power #born into wealth. born with special powers. cass has to work twice as hard for that recognition #that respect and admiration #and as someone lower on the rung she legally has to defer to rapunzel #the beggars and the choosers. the winners and the losers #the luckless and the blessed #she’s constantly overshadowed by rapunzel and she’s forced to obey rapunzel as her superior #she’s also sick of being overlooked by her dad - the head of the guard #and the subtext is that it’s bc she’s a woman. she’s expected to be a handmaiden. the corona guard is full of men #and that’s another layer to her fed up with the social/political order and wanting to defy it #to take power and cross the line #‘you don’t know how much I’ve been denied’ !!!#like it’s such a good song and it sucks that it ultimately makes no sense #tangled the series #sorry it showed up on my playlist and i got mad lmao
