omg are you me

[les-lenne.livejournal.com]

Oh well, same here. It doesn't bother me in the least, though.

[(Anonymous)]

It scares me that you really think she had the perfect life.

And that you thought Gothel was devoted to her. She was only devoted to Rapunzel's hair.

Like... seriously, you think being locked in the tower was a perfect life?! That is just not right, anon. Not right at all.

[(Anonymous)]

overbearing but devoted mother? wtf. the mother kept her LOCKED UP IN A TOWER out of her own selfish needs. she insulted rapunzel everyday and veiled it under the guise of a joke.

[vivalana.livejournal.com]

The anon isn't saying that Rapunzel had an ideal life, but that it would have been the anon's ideal life. And who are we to know if she's wrong?

[miakun.livejournal.com]

She only had three books. It was my worst nightmare.

[micromyni.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't mind being her for....maybe three or four months. A nice vacation. But I DEFINITELY like being able to go places.

[joshua-glass.livejournal.com]

I would be happy as Rapunzel if I had my RL mom and not Gothel. Because Gothel was all kinds of crazy.

[(Anonymous)]

If Rapunzel had Internet, I would have been perfectly fine with her life.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, obviously you don't actually mean that you want to be imprisoned and exploited for your magical power, I'm not going to jump on you for it. I know what you're getting it. Some people are enthusiastic gadabout adventurer-types, and others are total homebodies who like nothing more than to stay in and... make stuff. I know a highly successful fashion designer who's like this: introvert, hates partying, cares nothing about romance, loves nothing more than staying home and sewing. I'm probably one of his only close friends, and he's fine with that.

You would probably still need to step out every now and then, though ;)

[(Anonymous)]

I think the point is that she didn't get a choice. :\

(On another note, I kind of wonder what Mother Gothel did to provide for Rapunzel. Was she a prostitute, or a highwayman or something?>

[amazing-e-ko.livejournal.com]

Everyone else has already commented on the "perfect mother" bit of this secret, so I'll leave that alone, but what strikes me is that you talk about her having "time" to be creative. If I was in her situation constantly, I wouldn't be able to be creative, since part of being creative means gaining life experience that you can use in your work.

[angathol.livejournal.com]

In the end she had all of those except for the crazy-ass mom. She can still spend her time being creative and talented as a princess, I'm sure.

[pocketseizure.livejournal.com]

I spent the first twenty minutes of the movie thinking the same thing: OMG SHE LEAVES?! I thought the movie was totally going to go a different way, with Gothel being redeemed through the revelation of a tragic backstory and Rapunzel deciding that she didn't need Flynn after all (although she could keep the horse). But of course this is Disney we're talking about, and of course I was disappointed.

But then I also wanted Ariel and Ursula to live happily ever after together, so maybe I am not the target audience.

[justaminuet.livejournal.com]

As other people said, Gothel didn't give a damn about her. She only coveted her hair. If she could have found a way to cut it off with it retaining its powers, she probably would've offed Rapunzel at the first chance.

And why I understand the idea of being free from any sort of adult responsibilities might seem swell, you do realize it was at the expense of being able to do anything else but stay in a tiny tower with only three books and some paints. She wasn't even given canvases, just the walls! I would've gone crazy with boredom after a few weeks, forget about years or the rest of my life.

[dudette-in-town.livejournal.com]

Really? Her and Quasimodo were the two Disney characters I felt most sorry for. It sounds really depressing living in the same place for years without a goal or human contact other than their respective abusive parental figures.

[i-am-a-rose-4.livejournal.com]

1. She still is beautiful at the end of the movie.

2. Her best friend is still with her, and she's made EVEN MORE FRIENDS. WHO ARE PEOPLE.

3. The mother that she discovers in the end, aka her real mother? I'm gonna guess she's actually a VERY devoted mother who won't be using her daughter for magical powers.

4. She move's into a castle in a beautiful land.



Um, yeah, how do you not see that she was waaaay better off in the end? She's run out of places to paint. She doesn't have real friends. The entire time, she's LONELY.

Like, seriously?

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, I just realized that that's my life right now. And I worked hard to get it just this way. And I love it. Thanks, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

This secret makes you sound like you're twelve.

[(Anonymous)]

I won't get nitpicky about the details and argue about how much Rapunzel's life sucked. I'm just going to say that yeah, it sounds pretty good to me too. Unlimited time to spend on my arts and crafts (hell, with that kind of time, I'd finally be able to go pro), no social responsibilities, yet getting all the love I need from those closest to me and over the internet. Call it unhealthy, but a hermit's life for me!

[xanykaos.livejournal.com]

Nah, I do feel a little envious when I hear/sing the song, because I would love to be able to spend every day drawing (that's my goal in life anyway), but to also have time to paint, knit, bake, play guitar, sew, reading etc. It would be pretty swell.


I'd need way more than three books though. Also a working computer with internet.

[kiaxet]

I feel like it's really easy to say this from where you are, Anon, where I assume you haven't been stuck in the same thirty or forty cubic feet for your entire life and have the choice to leave and go to other places.

Grass is always greener, I think.

[contrary-izybel.livejournal.com]

Weirdly enough the only thing that bugs me about this is the beautiful comment. She was still beautiful at the end of the movie but the bigger problem is why should it matter? You're locked in a tower. Why do you need to care about being beautiful? You're the only one to see it and if you have no interaction with other people how do you even know that's what qualifies as "beauty?"

*over thinking and nitpicking over tiny crap. go get a life, self*

[fairhearing.livejournal.com]

Wow, really?

I suppose you'd exchange
A walk-on role in a war
For a lead role in a cage~~
