I’d Like To Remind Y’all Of The Disney Couple Of All Disney Couples

[tangledinraps]

happy mother’s day to these literal queens ❤️❤️

[arcadianmoonshadowjedi]

First Drawing in my sketchbook is of Fitzmom! (Who my headcanon name for is Irene 😊) I've always wanted to know more about her and her story but I guess that's what writing fanfic is for! (Planning to get back to writing her backstory very soon!)

[tangledfanlove]

Hey guys so I've been thinking about this for awhile now and I got the idea from watching an episode of Grandfather's and I'm thinking that what if Eugene got his big ears from his mom and like that why in her portrait you see her having really big earrings because she's trying to use that to make it seem like she have smaller ears and what if she hates her big ears like him Please tell me what you think because i think it's so funny and makes me feel closer to the dark queen

Headcanon: Edmund met DQ (Dark Queen) by asking her if she wanted some of his figgy pudding.

[rendellstreet]

Not to sound bitter or anything (for real this was a GREAT episode) but like

Cass waltz right pass Edmund and no reaction? At all? Like okay you can chalk it up to him already knowing or being informed she took the Moonstone but no urgent “hey you really shouldn’t be using it” or “don’t let it fill your mind with lies!” because. That was a thing Edmund warned right? He warned about the Moonstone filling people’s minds with absolute baloney.

If not that, just in general Edmund feels so... underutilized? No one asking him more questions about the Moonstone? Or any kind of father step-daughter bonding with Rapunzel? Or questions about the Brotherhood? Does he know where Adira is? Hector? Is he aware of Quirin at all?

ALSO just, no mentioning or reference to the Dark Kingdom’s queen? We’re just gonna mentioned she’s six feet under and that’s it? No “oh you’re mother would’ve loved to see this/Oh my wife would’ve loved to meet you Rapunzel”

Just??? I would like some answers to some questions

Just to clarify nothing’s wrong with Ricky! I just loved this episode so much and I’m so proud and happy for him. But also everything in that episode was so perfect and amazing. Like the Trevor bits (who is his favorite character to write about) and the New Dream bits and my sweet smol bean Eugene freaking out and wanted his sunshine to just love him so much I’m. Thanks Ricky for everything you do for this fandom :,)))

I can’t wait to find out who she is

[darkprince-eugene]

Eugene being royalty was foreshadowed back in Queen for A Day when Eugene said “Since Rapunzel is pretty much the Queen for a couple days that makes me pretty much the King.” I feel like I’m the only person in this fandom who hopes that Eugene doesn’t doesn’t deny/renounce his heritage because I believe that he would make an excellent King, for both Corona and TDK, due to his own rough life. I hope that we see tons of bonding in S3. I have so many head canons now that I know that DPE is canon.

Haha, I know! Him drawing that black crown on his head was our first indication of him being the Dark Prince (I think) - I just didn’t realize it until a little further on after I had developed the theory 😅

Well, Eugene could still renounce his heritage, but in the end it doesn’t matter. The Dark Kingdom is probably going to be destroyed, so he won’t have to worry about staying behind to rule (even though, if given the option, we know he wouldn’t). But I hope he doesn’t deny his heritage either. I want him to build a relationship with Edmund. I mean, I certainly want him to get angry with Ed at first, but I want them to have a good relationship.

And I think Eugene will be a good adviser to Rapunzel when she is Queen. I don’t think he wants to rule fully, but he will definitely help her make decisions.

A Eugene and Dark Queen Reunion - Eugene Appreciation Week | Day 3 - Angst

Meanwhile, back in Gothel’s tower..... Rapunzel was desperately trying the healing incantation even though her magical hair was now gone. But Eugene couldn’t allow her the chance. Already too much had been taken from Rapunzel during her life and he wasn’t going to take any more from her. Not even to save himself….especially not to save himself. Eugene summoned his last tiny bit of strength with Herculean effort. “Rapunzel,” he insisted, pulling her face to him. He had to tell her. “What?” she whispered at last. The effort cost him dearly, left him gasping. “You were my new dream,” he breathed, as Rapunzel laughed through her tears with bittersweet joy. Whatever the price, it was worth it to Eugene just so he could hear the sound along with her next words. “And you were mine,” she replied with loving sorrow, fervently wishing she could just hold Eugene here in this moment with her forever. At least…..at least she could put a smile on his face before he slipped away for good. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eugene was swiftly awoken and bidden to stand by a mysterious brunette with long flowing hair. She quietly stood next to him, dressed in an elegant white gown, and looked up at him serenely. He briefly wondered if she were an angel before reminding himself he didn’t believe in such nonsense.

He couldn't really pay much attention to her at first....as upon standing, he had turned around and was jolted by what he saw. Eugene’s gaze was instantly glued to the scene playing out before him. It turned out he was still in the tower. Rapunzel, now clearly resigned, despondently finished the healing chant he had so stoutly refused her and wept openly over his dead body.

"Oh no....." Eugene fell to his incorporeal knees in anguish. “No!” Eugene had thought dying would be the saddest thing to happen to him. Yet he’d been sorely mistaken. "Rapunzel, I...."

"She can't hear you, son," the brunette said softly. She came up behind him and put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "I can promise you, however, she will not be sad for much longer." At the moment, Eugene felt anything but reassured.

"Who....who are you?" demanded Eugene of this...this interloper, in spite of himself. For the moment, he just wished to be alone with Rapunzel and their shared grief. The mystery woman seemed to have sensed Eugene’s reluctance to her presence and carefully moved away a few paces. She now stood opposite him on the other side of Rapunzel as she cradled Eugene's body.

"Well, I did call you 'son' for a reason, you know," said the woman, with an impish twinkle in her eye.  "Wuh--" Eugene nearly choked on his own tongue as he stood up in a rush, trying to get the words out, finally settling upon, "--Mother?" He gaped at her, openly searching for any signs of his own features within hers.

"That is one of my many titles, yes," replied the regal lady, smiling enigmatically in front of him, “and my personal favorite.” All at once he noticed she was wearing a black tiara with purple jewels. It seemed all the more stark against her crisp white dress. Eugene’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. "Alas, there is no time to discuss them all, though. You need to go very soon."

"What?" Eugene protested. "Go? But didn't I just get here? Wherever here is? How can it be that I already have to leave again?" "Observe," said his mother, gesturing to his prone self on the floor. A tiny starburst of golden sparks showered his cheek where Rapunzel's solitary tear had fallen, only to travel further down toward the mortal wound in Eugene's side. As they watched, the garish gash began mending itself closed amidst a thunderclap of bright spiraling magical tendrils that grew to encompass the entire tower. "What is happening?" Eugene cried over the thunderous roar of healing magic, shielding his vision against its brightness. "I should think that much would be obvious," his mother replied with what was now characteristic vagueness, once again wearing her Mona Lisa smile. Eugene groaned in exasperation and he found himself getting mildly annoyed with her cryptic amusement. It even reminded the young man a little bit of....himself. So that's where I get it! he marveled as realization dawned. "This time, the Sun Drop chose you, Eugene," his mother was looking him right in the eye now. "Chose me?" Eugene echoed skeptically, his eyebrows knitting together. "Why ever would it choose me? It's Rapunzel who's into this whole 'destiny' business." His mother laughed throatily and it mesmerized him; he was completely enchanted by the sight and sound. "Come here, Gene." He was utterly taken by her use of his diminutive name as he walked around to meet her. He almost couldn't ask. It seemed too surreal. An orphan wouldn't dare to hope....but he gestured to her tiara. "Are you...." She slipped an arm sideways around his waist, pulling her to him. He couldn’t help but notice how tall she was as she replied, "Yes, I was royalty when I was alive, which means you have royal blood too. And as long as you keep putting your faith in and keep choosing this young woman, you will find all of the answers you've sought about your family -- past, present, and future. And sooner rather than much later. However, I fear right now it’s time we take our leave of one another." "Now?? But--but I have so many questions!" Eugene pleaded. His mother put a quieting finger to his lips and patiently said, "In due time, dear son of mine. The only thing I want you to have on your mind during this present time is you….and her.” She reached up and lightly tapped his forehead three times and bade him into her loving embrace. Still somewhat unsure of her, he accepted, eventually melting into her arms as she stroked the back of his hair. She hummed an old German lullaby, the same way a young mother would soothe her small child. Hot tears sprang to Eugene’s eyes, completely unbidden. Just how could this song sound so familiar?? his mind cast-about wildly. He was both amazed and bewildered, yet he felt far too overwhelmed to speak.

Eugene felt himself fade out into soft white nothingness while in his mother's warm embrace. Then before he knew it, Eugene’s eyes were fluttering open again, as if he'd briefly fallen asleep and taken an unintentional nap somewhere. Immediately, his mind filled with thoughts of….

"Rapunzel?" he said breathlessly. Back! He really was back within his own body! Mentally, Eugene checked himself over.....he could breathe easily again. No more aching stab wound in his side. He remembered passing out…. Somehow Rapunzel had actually done it!! “Eugene??” gasped Rapunzel hopefully above him. Her hands reflexively held him closer. The way she whispered his name sounded like a little prayer. His eyesight was gradually returning, as he blinked and saw the blurry figure above him coalesce into his newest dream.

"Have I ever told you that I've got a thing for brunettes?" he kidded breathlessly, to let his love know that he was indeed all there for real.

"EUGENE!!" cried Rapunzel in exultation, throwing her arms so joyously about his neck that she nearly pulled him back to the floor with her. He caught her in a one-armed embrace, holding her as tightly to him as he dared. Never before had such a remarkable woman loved him so fiercely. Eugene had scarcely dreamt it was possible. A lilting voice filled his mind, But if something's not impossible, it's not worth doing... he dismissed it as his own fleeting thoughts playing tricks on him....until the same lilting voice confirmed outright his next thoughts: Yes, you really are just that lucky to have Rapunzel. And yes -- you will remember our little meeting here when the time is right.

Then Rapunzel grasped the sides of Eugene’s doublet in both of her fists and literally took his breath away with the ferocity of their first kiss. Eugene enthusiastically responded in kind. And although Eugene never completely forgot his memories of the very brief encounter with his mother, in light of recent pressing events, those memories completely faded to the back of Eugene’s mind as if it were a dream. For the greater part of two years, he was pretty certain he had hallucinated them anyway. That is, until this very moment.....

When after he sees this portrait....

And a light of familiarity appears to dawn in his eyes.

It has always been my theory (well, I s’pose it’s wish fulfillment now -- since all the series episodes have been broadcast) that even all of Eugene’s old wanted posters wouldn’t have been enough to convince him to turn away from Rapunzel. It had to be something more....something huge. If Eugene had a visual confirmation of who his mother is prior to seeing this portrait because he’d recently already seen her during the 1-minute-40-second interval that he was dead in the tower.....then I postulate that this is why Eugene was convinced to go against Rapunzel, if even for a few hours.

Which is actually COMPLETELY NECESSARY!!!

[tangledinraps]

‪oh my gosh edmund was wearing his wife’s necklace when he tried to destroy the stone but qtip pulled him back and he sent everyone out.. we’re getting answers to her i know it. maybe my theory is actually true because that would mean she died before he fully destroyed the kingdom..‬ he’s wearing the necklace in memory of her so she didn’t die in the fallout.. like i said she would’ve died before so i think like i said again we’re gonna get an answer to her.

Even Alexa acknowledges Eugene as his real name!!! 😂 (not sure how true the singing part is)
