Please, reblog! IIt’s called self defense. Apart from having here, in the US, one of the highest cases of homicide and rape in the world and high rate of GBV, think about how this could help your mother or sister
Yes, they are both 18, but both of them are also daily accused of failed hair physics. I cannot even count how many times people bring these two up to me when I’m ranting about animation errors. So I’m now here today to make it clear why Rapunzel and Anastasia (and their character designers) do not deserve the criticism.
RAPUNZEL
Complaint: “When Rapunzel gets her hair braided it turns super short.”
Backstory: Yes, she has long ass hair. 70 feet of it to be precise. And her hair does indeed get shorter when it’s braided. But the hair itself is still 70 feet long.
The secret: It’s just folded on-top of itself several times.
The proof: We don’t see much of the branding process itself. The image below is actually from the only shot we get.
But take a look at normal braids from “Tangled” as well as “Frozen”.
Pretty small, right? Also check out how thin Rapunzel’s hair is when you grab it all in your hand: it’s not unaturally thick in any way.
Now look at Rapunzel’s huge ass braid. The thickness of it proves that there are several layers of hair hiding in there; folded over and over and arranged in a way so that the tips of the hair will still be at the end. Another design choice would have been to give Blondie a 70 feet long thin braid, but it would still have gotten stuck everywhere due to it’s length. So making a shorter and THICC braid was the best solution.
Conclusion: The braiding girls in Corona really know what they are doing and have bright futures up ahead.
ANASTASIA
Complaint: “Anastasia’s hair goes from short to long out of the blue.”
Backstory: When we first meet young Anastasia she has long hair, but when we meet her again as an adult she seems to have cut away her long locks.
But in later scenes her hair reaches her lower back??? But no worries! The animators haven’t been smoking gummybears while making this decision, since her hair was just hiding right under our noses all this time.
The secret: Anastasia hair is layered and she used her own hair to tie up the longest part.
The proof: When Anastasia removes her hat we can see a high ponytail; completely plausible for someone with short hair. But look at what’s keeping Anastasia’s hair in it’s place; it’s her own hair, twisted tightly in a loop. We even see this same technique used by all the burlesque dancers during “Paris Holds The Key”.
If this had indeed been a hairband of sorts then it wouldn’t have the exact same shade as her hair, nor would it have been drawn like this. But what about the hair at the nape of her neck? It’s just the shortest parts that did not reach the messy ponytail, a very common occurance for people with layered hair. But these short parts become practically invisible if you let down all your hair over it. Same thing if you let a professional do your hair, which happens to Anastasia after meeting Sophie (The secret here = Bobby pins).
For further proof you can below see real life examples of twisted hair, as well as short hair that does not reach a high ponytail.
Conclusion: Anastasia’s hair is misunderstood and deserves love.
I will now go eat vanilla ice-cream with hot raspberries. Ciao.

There’s speculation that Shang might have developed feelings for Mulan even while going by the guise of Ping, people are interpreting him as bisexual because of that.
“Mirroring” is a big thing with cats. It’s why they will lay in similar positions several feet apart, or will come and try to do things when you do them. It’s a sign that they love you and want to show.
This cat wants to be close to its owner, and also wants to do what its owner is doing, to be involved in some way.
Giving them their own thing to use is a really great way to redirect them and allow them to mirror the behavior in a non-disruptive way that frustrates neither party.
Imma vent here cause everyone I talk to is asleep rn
I feel like absolute fucking shit lmao I was in a debate competition and the topic was section 377 (for anyone who doesn’t know its the law which criminalized homosexuality in India and was lifted a few months ago) and I was put on the team who was against it and I’m an avid debater and I literally came to that debate to make people see that I had good skills and was a great candidate to be recommended by the teachers when the time comes and I was like OK I’m gonna talk against homosexuality and god I channeled my fucking mother into myself and said so many homophobic things, I bought up conversion therapy and that gay sex is sodomy and shit and the opposing team was fucking shit I could refute all their points easily (they fucking called homosexuality a choice) and now that I’m back home I’m rethinking about everything I said and I feel like fucking shit I feel horrible and its reminding me of everything my mother told me when I tried to tell her I’m gay and this all just made me hate myself more. My fucking college president seemed to agree with my points and that scares the shit out of me cause I do not stand for anything I said but I’m terrified of everyone who was in the room and agreed with me.
Literally people were coming to me and telling me I made them see things differently and that I was gonna win this debate and I was like don’t think differently please support homosexuality those people who were against me in the competition were shit but my stance was more shit please fucking god understand that it was done cause I was in a fucking competition and I’m fucking gay I don’t want being gay to be criminalized again
A similar incident happened with my college debate class. The topic was “Educate women vs don’t educate women” and I was put on the against side. Except I had a different problem from you… my team sucked but the opposite team was good.
So knowing there was no way to say “don’t educate women” without getting beaten up, I had to come up with delicate ways to say it. I brought up the whole “educated women marry and have kids late and having kids late leads to problems” thing and the sexual harassment on the way to school point, TRYING to keep the whole thing civil.
And then someone on my team said that “education makes women arrogant and not respect husbands” and that’s when the whole thing went to screaming, yelling, basically a mess on both sides. In the end we were totally destroyed by the other team.
I think this is something people need to learn in debate club, the wrong statements said the wrong way can turn a civil conversation into a fist fight.
