UGLY SOBS
being haunted by a person you’ve never met and never will, someone you’ll never actually be
but you’ve got people who love you, maybe it’s gonna be okay
I feel that Rapunzel and her Dad's issues relied too heavily on demonizing Varian as their problem. True he kidnapped the Queen, but their was more going on with them before Varian lost it on them. I dislike how defeating Varian is treated as solving the issues between them.
Honestly, all of Frederic’s shortcomings are too easily explained away because the show uses Varian as a scapegoat. Frederic hiding the knowledge of the black rocks until they are literally starting to destroy the captial? Somehow he convinces the angry townspeople to turn against the one person actually working on stopping the rocks. Frederic sending disguised guards to harass Varian in his already destroyed home? Completely overlooked in favor of Rapunzel just being angry about being lied to. Even Rapunzel uses Varian as an excuse to lesson Frederic’s actions when Frederic even dared to try to take responsibility for his mistakes.
Varian didn’t cause the rift between Frederic and Rapunzel. It was Frederic’s lies that caused that rift. It’s Rapunzel’s inaction until she literally couldn’t not ignore the black rocks that’s part of the problem. The townspeoples’ rage about the black rocks destroying their homes and livelihoods shouldn’t have been “solved” by directing that anger on a single teen. Frederic was WAY more responsible for the conflict in S1 than Varian was. All Varian did was allow his sorrow turn into rage, borned from the desperation that was forged by Frederic and Rapunzel actions and inaction.
Also, Frederic and Rapunzel has had their issues with each other before Varian was even induced to the series. Frederic was already understandably overprotective of Rapunzel, while Rapunzel felt like the kingdom of Corona just became a larger tower for hun to hide her away. Rapunzel comparing Frederic to Gothel for that brief moment was the true conflict between the two of them. Varian was just a boy who wanted to help when it was clear to him that no one else was trying to stop the rocks. Whatever weird obsession the show has in portraying Frederic as this “poor and misunderstood, soft-hearted” father just makes his character suffer due to not letting him develop.
I think Donella’s base/orphanage is an abandoned prison for a number of reasons.
It’s ironic, and they’re all criminals so it fits the theme
who would look for a mob boss in a prison? Just a good hiding place.
really helps build the idea of uniformity and compliance in the thieves. She treats them very regimented, getting up at the same time every day and having very strict rules. If you don’t want to follow them, you’re back out on the street.
it helps communicate how trapped hugo feels in his current situation, and how he thinks that he is inherently bad. He sees himself as a criminal who can’t get better, and the fact that he lives in a prison cell really adds to that.
Of course, none of the cells have doors, and the ones that do have broken locks. The place is very old. Most of the cells have blankets and tarps up so you cant see into the cell, with some things here and there. Very visually messy, unlike a prison, but literally very clean and organized.
Hugo’s room is especially very clean and organized compared to everyone else’s, if not cluttered. The most luxurious thing he has in there is a big pile of pillows instead of a bed (Based on one of the concept drawings where hes all lounged out in a pillow nest), and his nice furniture. He has nice things, better than the other kids because of his status, but everything nice in his room has to be too big to steal, or nailed down. Its very tidy, as luxurious as it can be, and very obviously still a prison cell- a good representation of Hugo himself. Donella does not like to be bothered, so unless it’s an emergency, you deal with the other children yourself. Hugo is not very popular among the other orphans- hes seen as a suck up, and only ever spends his time around Donella.
