don’t mind me i’m just thinking about how softly Eugene treats Rapunzel, brushing her hair out of her face ever-so-gently, cradling her cheek, looking at her as though she hung the stars, showing her a level of care that was previously unfamiliar to her. she spent her childhood in a tower hearing backhanded compliments and lies and experiencing a love that was both conditional and insincere, and then along comes this man who loves her selflessly and holds her tenderly and puts her first in everything he does.

don’t mind me i’m also thinking about how fiercely Rapunzel loves Eugene, the way she grabs his hand and pulls him along on all her discoveries, the way she throws herself against him without hesitation, the way she grabs his shirt collar and pours her whole heart into kissing him. he spent his childhood in an orphanage being given up and turned away and changing his identity because he thought he wasn’t good enough, and along comes this woman who sees past his all mistakes and jagged edges, who likes him better as Eugene, who wants him in her life and loves him with all that she is.
