So, if Corona is the Kingdom of the sun, then it wouldn’t be hard to believe that they worship some form of the sun. (admittedly subjective headcanon but still) We know Rapunzel literally is a part of the sun, so much so that she brought Eugene back to life with the sun(drop)s power, and Eugene calls her Sunshine as a pet name.
So basically, Eugene is literally calling Rapunzel a goddess/ angel when he calls her Sunshine.
The thing is, I have a long and convoluted analysis about Corona’s relationship to the Sun and Rapunzel (from the point of view of the movie only), but the long of the short of it is this: they already treat her like a goddess.
Think about it; Everyone in the kingdom loves her, and is taught to love her, even though she hasn’t actually been around for almost 20 years and no one knows what she’s really like. Even once she does show up “in disguise”, everyone automatically loves her, but not in a way where they’re jealous that other people love her too, or when she pays attention to someone else for a while. There’s a shrine to her honor where the whole kingdom can see it where people leave gifts (flowers, etc). They have an annual holiday in her honor with a very ritualistic event in which they pray for her return. They don’t call her by her name, but by an honorific (”The Lost Princess”).
Corona literally worships Rapunzel, and considers her to be the embodiment of the Sun Goddess, who they worship (a headcanon I’ve already mentioned), and it’s likely due to being unable to mentally separate her from the miracle of the Sundrop which saved her life.
Now, I don’t see Eugene as being a particularly spiritual man (and the series even made that canon) but the one thing he does have faith in is Rapunzel. So your analysis there is correct, that the use of “Sunshine” is like calling her “angel” or “goddess,” based on the concept of Corona being a sun-worshiping kingdom (which we all know I fully support).

okay so my friend and i were rewatching tangled and we came up with a theory that rapunzel can technically sing someone out of existence
let me explain. you know how she can make mother gothel younger by singing her song? what if she made someone so young that they cease to exist?
think about it! gothel is so old that when raps’s hair was cut and the power was un-reversed, she literally turned into ashes. that means that raps is capable of reversing 100+ to make her young again. so that means if she did that to a regular person, she can not just reverse 10 years to make them look a bit younger, but she can technically go back in time 100+ years to when they’re a fetus, or when they’re just… nothing
rapunzel can be the most powerful disney princess if she can actually do this. imagine having the power to make someone not just disappear, but not exist entirely
ps: i might be wrong about this and this might have been answered already but i haven’t seen or read anything that said otherwise + i have not seen the tangled series so idk if it was addressed there. please tell me if this question has been answered because i am genuinely so curious about it
I personally don’t think that Rapunzel ages people back a certain number of years. I feel that her healing does one of two things at a time. 1) It heals any immediate illness or injury. 2) It restores someone to the prime of life.
Rapunzel was not taking x number of years off of Gothel’s age, she was just restoring her to the prime of life, and it stopped there every time. It wasn’t something Rapunzel particularly controlled.
As for Gothel turning to ashes, she had been reversing her own age for centuries and was living on borrowed time. When Rapunzel’s hair was cut, all the age she should have been caught up with her all at once and turned her to dust.
In that case, could she age someone up? I’d guess it’s counting prime of life as mid 20s, early 30s range?
No, I don’t think so. It reduces age to the prime of life, but people who haven’t reached it yet won’t be taken forward. If she were to attempt to de-age a child, either it wouldn’t work, or it would take them back to the last time they were healthy.
Granted, this is all speculation and headcanon, because we don’t have any definitive answer on the subject. Anyone and everyone is allowed to speculate and headcanon whatever they like.

haha rapunzel you are dating my daughter
[Image Description: A digital line drawn image of Rapunzel and Mavis Dracula. Rapunzel has long hair. Rapunzel’s hair is draped all throughout the image. Part of her hair is wrapped around her, holding her up in the air, like an aerial silk acrobat. The hair wraps from her foot, up to her hands, and continues. Mavis is sitting on a large lock of hair as though it were a swing. They are smiling at one another. End ID]

I think we need a little reminder that people in specific spaces shouldn’t kick each other out all because you like a character that other person doesn’t like. That’s not cool and not very welcoming. In this case, someone sent a message to a Cassandra fan who likes new dream saying they weren’t welcome in a new dream space. Y’all need to be better than this :/

Potentially unpopular opinion but I don’t think it is:
You can be a New Dream fan and a Cassandra fan. There is no rule to state you can only like one side. That is just a crazy idea if you believe New Dream fans cannot be Cassandra fans or Cassandra fans cannot be New Dream fans.
Do you ever think about Tangled “What If” scenarios? If so, name five! I thought of the idea right now, and I’m honestly really hooked on it lol

- What if Arianna had been the focal parent of season one instead of Frederic?
- What if Rapunzel had managed to get back to Varian after the storm, but it was obviously already too late anyway?
- What if Rapunzel had painted that tree, thus “pledging her allegiance to Zhan Tiri,” as Sugracha put it?
- What if Rapunzel had never been kidnapped, and Gothel had gotten into the palace by getting herself hired as her nanny/governess?
- What if Rapunzel and Eugene had been separated in the river after the cave flooding, then found each other again months later?

sometimes i just think about how, eugene fitzherbert, most wanted thief in the kingdom, in danger of being caught at any moment because of several wanted posters hanging everywhere, walked up to a food stall directly and bought rapunzel some bread and cheese with actual good-to-honest money instead of stealing it and i scream
