Let Me Make You Proud Premier Recreation

My first ever video, guys! I decided to recreate the video they used to show us at D23 Expo in 2017 that premiered “Let Me Make You Proud”!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed seeing it come together!

This is such a little detail but I love how Cass makes sure to have her rocks pointing away from the pub thugs so she doesn’t hurt them

I'm bored so just posting some unpublished Tangled pictures from my "Inshot" folder for a little excitement!

1. I want a Rapunzel doll 🥺.

2. It was a meme material 😂.

3. Unpublished thumbnail for one of my old YouTube videos. If you are interested to watch it, here it is with the final thumbnail—

4. Unpublished profile picture for my YouTube channel (I painted her hair)!

5. I could relate to it so much.

6. When I was in the depths of despair.

7. Snapshot from another YouTube video!

8. I accidentally froze the screen at that moment and discovered this frame! Eugene looks so different here!

How come no one ever talks about how Attila is most likely dyslexic?

[bananaphone---t]

I was rewatching Max's Enemy, and how the hell is that I either didn't notice, or I forgot, that literally all of the pub thugs, Eugene, and Lance, all make 'Oh, shit' faces when the woman yells, "Stop! Theif!" at the beginning of the episode.

Comparing the Text of the "TANGLED: Before the Ever After SERIES BIBLE" and the "Tangled The Series: Series BIBLE"

I wanted to compare the text from the two Tangled bibles from the Disney leaks since there seemed to be a lot of overlap in the language and I was interested to see what had changed between the initial BEA bible(2015) and the TTS series bible(2018).

I'm in the asoiaf fandom and we do this with old George RR Martian drafts and manuscripts all the time, a sort of literary archeology. I took the plain text of both documents and ran a comparison to see what had changed between the two bibles. ((My dumbass put the 2018 TTS document as the original and the 2015 BEA doc as the "modified" one. So the Struck through text is actually the older/original/BEA.))

So obviously, the TTS bible was far longer since it was created and modified far later into development and even after wrap. It encompasses waaay more material. So naturally, all the S2 material outside if a brief synopsis was not in the BEA.

S1 Characters that do not appear in the 2015 BEA bible, but do in the 2018 TTS bible include: Angry, Red, Sugarby, Monty(even though his episode was), WRECK MARAUDER (Same as Monty), Fidella, and surprisingly: Stan and Pete.

And most surprising of all: the Captain didn't have a character profile in that initial document even though I could swear he has more episodes than characters like Lance, Varian, Quirin, and Xavier who all do have profiles in the 2015 BEA one.

I wonder if this indicates the order in which the characters were developed, or if they had different initial plans to use certain characters with more frequency and that didn't work out.

And as I sort of mentioned, in the BEA document, there were only summaries of six episodes after the special; "Challenge of the Brave," "Rapunzel's Enemy," "Cassandra Vs. Eugene," "In Like Flynn," "Under Wraps," and ""Fitzherbert PI."

It's fascinating to me how most of these are Cass and Eugene focused eps, with only one truly Raps focused one.

Anyway...

First big difference in the text:

By far the most common and consistent change between versions was Cassandra's job.

In 2015 in the Before Ever After pitch, she was consistently referred to as a "handmaiden" and then as of the 2018 TTS series bible this was changed everywhere to "lady in waiting".

I always wondered about this shift. At first I wondered if the change was to distance the show from the wildly successful, but thematically dark/adult "Handmaid's Tale" which came out within like a month of TTS, but now I'm wondering if it was more to align her thematically with her later characterization of "the Lady in waiting who is sick of waiting." It's probably that latter option. But I did kind of prefer the handmaiden angle since a lady in waiting is still comparatively powerful nobility. And imo a "maid" taking on a Kingdom is way more sympathetic than a lady doing so. It could have just added that extra layer of class conflict, but oh well.

No matter the reason, "Handmaiden" is out, "Lady in waiting" is in!

Attila got a little fleshing out between versions! Though this never seemed to materialize. I almost wonder if someone needed to hit a word-limit or something. I would have liked to see an ep showing Attila more and more integrated into Coronan society. See his progress from S1 to S3.

It seems the decision to have the full entourage outside of the main three on the mission might have been a later addition. (Alternatively the 2015 bible might have just had need to be more short and concise with the S2 details.)

It did seem(unfortunately) like the spare 5 didn't contribute much to the overarching plot, so I wouldn't be surprised if that were true. (And I'm including the Hookfoot filler episodes with that.) It would have looked pretty different, but might have been more character focused if they had gone in that direction.

Seems the Lorb episode was originally REALLY different...

The idea of them being mythical leaf people was a later addition, as well as the island aspect of the setting.

And it looked like the human "distinct tribe of people" were originally going to be worshiping Rapunzel and not Pascal. I can certainly see why they changed this so much.

It would be hard for Raps to beat the Demigoddess allegations and maintain the everyman vibe, plus the God Guise/Cargo Cult tropes are awkward as hell in that context.

"The Brotherhood of the Stone" ?

"The Brotherhood of the Stone" ?

"The Brotherhood of the Stone" ?????

..... Brotherhood fans btfo, its so over, we will literally never recover from this. *passes away*

No but really, no distinct mention of Adira or someone in her role. I wonder if the idea of discord/disagreement among the Brotherhood members didn't come about until later.

This is pretty cool! I didn't know that "Plus Est En Vous" seemed to be the initial name for the special! Then it got changed and used for the finale.

It also looks like "Cassandra vs. Eugene" was a pretty different episode initially as well.

It looks like originally, the scavenger hunt was not intended to lock them in the dungeons, and the Stabbingtons weren't involved.

I'm kind of of two minds on this one since on the one hand I like when decisions are deliberate and not just a matter of coincidence gives the characters agency. Plus I like the Stabbington's as villains and was glad to see them. But on the other hand, Rapunzel locking people in a cell when being locked away against her will is so central to her character and no one ever calling her out for it was so off-putting to me. Plus it made the Stabbingtons much less threatening.

I almost want to see that original version of that ep. I wonder if it would have been more character-focused.

And the last little changes I noticed were to "In Like Flynn" where they changed the word "crime" to "scheme" in the description and dropped the "King" for just "Frederic" probably just to convey the lighter tone of the episode better.

Oh, and one more!

The "Moonstone" didn't seem to be named as of BEA and there was some intentional(?) ambiguity about Edmond and his title and origin.

Overall not a lot of big differences. But it was a bit surprising what elements and characters where emphasized compared to what ended up manifesting in the show.

No one else gets me...

[eclipseofthemoonsmood]

So rewatching last episode of Tangled The Series, I was studying all the people in this last frame- and i gotta say. I found something a bit strange. But it wasn't who i saw. It's what.

Here, we can see Attila, holding a cake.

In the shape of a key.

As we know, Chris Sonnenburg, was pretty rude to Varian fans online for a while. " They're aren't focusing on the right things." He kept saying. What if he meant the little things like this? And if he did, what does this mean? Could this little key mean something deeper for the show? If you look closely, it almost looks like the top of the key is in the shape of a crown. But it could just be pixelated. Will we ever know for sure? Is this key a metaphorical key for the show? Meaning that the show is a key to a new realm of possibilities? Or am I just crazy. Tell me your theories! And if anyone knows anything about this interesting easter egg, I'd love to hear about it. Also yes, I was listening to Kronos Unveiled from The Incredibles while writing this.

tangled the series series bible 4 of 8

[tangledbea]

Hi Bex!

I was going through your speculation tag a little while ago and saw that one of your headcanons for Tangled is that the royal family's surname is Solaris (which I love love love !!). idk it fits in so well with how sun-centred corona is and all. and it's pretty teehee

I've always been a little bit frustrated by the fact that we don't really have a lot of characters with canonical surnames. to be fair a lot of things about tts annoy me... but we don't need to get into that. i know it's not particularly important to the story but it's important to me LOL, names are a powerful thing !!

So I was wondering if you had any surname headcanons for the other characters? apart from Eugene and Lance, of course (shout out to them though </3 my scrunklies)

love your blog!

Aww, thanks! I've always been fond of using Solaris for them, simply because of that sun connection! (To be fair "der Sonne," which many people use because of the series, is also related to the sun.)

My headcanon name for the Captain is Dominik Collins, which would make Cassandra's last name Collins, too. (Granted, I gave him that name long before the series came out, and I might have made it different if I'd thought it up post-series.)

I don't really have last names for anyone else, but if pressed, I'm sure I could come up with something I was satisfied with. For example, Quirin and Varian would be given a Greek last name, like, Makris or Galanis. Kiera and Catalina would have the same last name, which they chose together (and then later, they obviously both become Schnitz).

Oh! But did you know that Feldspar's last name is canonically Wilipeg, and Old Lady Crowley's first name is Hortense? So there's two more full names for you. Plus, Attila's full name is Attila Buckethead (though I have no personal headcanons as to what his non-ruffian name would be).

In fact, here! Here's a list of all the names that @darkprince-eugene collected. Most of them have been looked up for meaning, but the project kind of fell by the wayside after a point.

[twotangledsisters]

🧠 🎞 and 📚 for the tangled ask game

Oh, all of these are so good and thanks so much for asking but I do apologize in advance because that last one may get me rambling!

🧠- Random Tangled Headcanon you have?

Oh, this reminded me that a while back I did an entire post with head canons of all the cast!

It's a bit old, may need to re-visit that sometime in the future but the first on that list is the first headcanon that came to mind for me and one I reference often in my work!

It's the idea that the flower in Rapunzel's hair are hand-picked by Eugene every morning!

It started as Eugene giving flowers to his girlfriend because that's a normal couple thing to do! But Rapunzel being new to relationships didn't think to put the flowers in a vase so she'd start adding them right into her hair, a reminder of Eugene to bring with her throughouth her day!

And Eugene, of course, got into the habit of picking her fresh flowers every morning because only the best for his love!

I just think this is something they'd do!

🎞- Movie or Series?

If I had to choose I guess I'd say series, but honestly they're inseparable in my mind!

I only got into the series because I saw the movie in cinemas as a kid and it was one of my fave Disney films since! I remember that first trailer for Before Ever After on YouTube, the excitement!

I remember the first season which I watched on Spanish television. So excited to see Eugene, Rapunzel, the new characters! Attila! Seeing these background characters get extra screen time!

But if I had to choose, I have to say series because it's what drove me into fanfics, and tumblr and back into the fandom after so many years!

📚- Favorite Tangled Fanfic?

The idea of choosing just one... I don't think it'd even be honest for me to do so because it honestly depends on what I feel like! I don't have a singular fave but I'll try to keep the list short!

If I want some cute kid, gentle, Cassandra content, literally one of @frozenwolftemplar's fics, I can't even name a specific one because she has so many one-shots that are so beautifully written, so adorable, her Young Cassandra series though is my safe space! Lots of them center around Cass' childhood which I love, I have an entire page on my kindle of her one-shots and if I'm not misremembering I was reading her fics before getting back into commenting and interacting in the community. It's possible you could credit her I came to this fandom at all? After all, I needed cute one-shots which would help feed my desire for more tts content and her fics just suck you in!

If I feel up to a longer fics, to nobody's surprise as I've talked quite a bit about it in the past I'd have to point to Tangled: Between The Kisses by @the-writer1988 and @tangledbea. It's a full series re-imagining and it just takes so much time and care in flashing out so many different characters!

Although my all time fave character isn't in it, my other faces: Eugene, Arianna, Lance, they are not just in it but perhaps some of my fave representation of them in any fanfic!

The way they do POVs is so amazing! It's just a really good read, especially if you love New Dream, or any of the characters I just listed!

And having mentioned New Dream and having mentioned One-shots how can I not mention my fave short New Dream fics:

All at Once Everything is Different and Where I'm Meant to Be by @roygbivv

Look, if you love New Dream and haven't read them just do so! They're super short but they're beautifully written and for whatever reason, maybe the prose, maybe how gentle and thoughtful they are, I don't know, they just hit me really hard!

All of these fics are ones that occupy my mind even when I'm not reading, which let me tell you isn't easy! Simply because I have really bad memory so even a fic I enjoy a lot will very soon escape my brain, but these are the ones that outdid those odds!

It took a lot for me to reduce the list down this much because there's just so many amazing Tangled fanfics out there!

I really should post recommendations more often because so many fics do not get the attention they deserve! But I'm really scared I'd end up forgetting some really important ones or something.

For now, I do have my 'fanfic fanart' tag where I post my fanart sketchbook spread (or I should if I tag correctly), and hopefully the posts under that tag will only grow! (I have a few I'm just drumming up the bravery to post while they wait in drafts!)

But I'm always looking for new fics to read! Especially ongoing ones or shorter ones, as I'm a pretty slow reader! So if anybody has recs, please send them my way! (including your own fics, of course!)

And yeah, thank you so much for the ask and I apologize for getting rambly towards the end! It's just so hard to talk about fanfics without rambling because they're so good and there are sooo many!

I hope you're having a lovely day and have a lovely week!
