Too much epic visual media today.
(And I imagined Jack Frost saying the traditional ST opening at the end of the movie.)
“Well… water doesn’t feel very different from healing. Sure, it’s fickle, but it’s very, very soothing. Soothing is what I’m all about! Too bad I can’t do this in my own body.”
“Cool, at least it gives you the edge up over other…people who poses water manipulators.” Emerald sounded a little awkward at the end there. “You know that sounded a lot better in my head. Anyways, you’re right, it’s pretty soothing. I kind of wish you could do it so you could show me some pointers. The only water than I seem to be semi good at doing that to is the ocean.”
“Why’s that?” Rapunzel wondered. “Because the sea is so energetic? I’ve never been to the ocean. Maybe we could go sometime and you could show me! That would be fun!”
She decided to try again with the water, moving her arms and body as though doing a slow dance with the tide.
“I didn’t mean it like that!” She waved it away with a chuckle. “I was more explaining how my gift works, rather than wishing I could change how it was. I’ve learned a while ago that I can’t change the past, only move forward.”
“I see” He chuckled “Your gift is really amazing Rapunzel, though how you cope with the weight of it and how you are so positive is a thousand times more amazing”
“I’m finally helping people. It makes all the difference. I was used for so long…” She shrugged slightly at the memory. “Now my gift is used selflessly, to anyone who needs me.”
“I probably could have saved them,” she reasoned thoughtfully. “But it’s way too late, now. I can’t reach back in time for long-healed wounds. I can’t heal scars, for example.”
“…Rapunzel don’t worry about it, it was way back when I was young” He said and chuckled “I’m sure if you were there you would have been a great help but.. I like how I am now, I don’t wish to go back to how I was…I can’t go backwards only forwards..”
“I didn’t mean it like that!” She waved it away with a chuckle. “I was more explaining how my gift works, rather than wishing I could change how it was. I’ve learned a while ago that I can’t change the past, only move forward.”

Her smile didn’t return with Tooth’s. She looked thoughtful, pensive. “Is he like you and Jack and the other Guardians?” she wondered. “Does he need people to believe in him?”
Tooth breathed in deeply, her eyes looking into the distance, unfocussed. Slowly, her head began to shake. “No, I don’t think he does. Granted, his powers are greater when more people believe in him, but it’s impossible to kill fear. That’s what makes him even more terrifying, really. He simply is, a fact of life. Pitch Black is older than the Man in the Moon, you know.”
“No, I don’t know,” Rapunzel confessed. “I don’t actually know much about the Man in the Moon. Is he a Guardian? Is he a god? Is he a force of nature like Jack and Pitch? I’m afraid that, because Jack doesn’t know much about him, neither do I.”
Rapunzel took a step back as if seeing Gem for the first time. She looked him all the way up and down, chewing her lip thoughtfully. “I can see how that might be a problem,” she conceded. “If you don’t mind my asking, when and how did you lose your limbs…?”
“Hn..? Oh I lost my arm when I was a young man in an accident” He chuckled, “And my leg just had to come off for medical reasons, it was just getting unbearable…”
“I probably could have saved them,” she reasoned thoughtfully. “But it’s way too late, now. I can’t reach back in time for long-healed wounds. I can’t heal scars, for example.”
As soon as his face appeared at the window, her heart leaped. She pushed away from the wall to face him properly. “I’ll explain it all later. We have to get you out of here! I can’t let this happen, I can’t!”
He was so close, and yet there was a wall and bars keeping them apart. She reached through, needing to touch him.
Jack held her hand when she reached out. He smiled sadly, hating to be so far from her. “Rapunzel I don’t want you to risk yourself for me, okay? I’ll…I’ll get out of this…” He sighed. “This is all my fault…I didn’t want this to happen.” He looked around his cell, seeing if there was anything to help him.
“It’s not your fault,” she insisted. “It’s not! Jack, I can’t leave you. I-I can’t just walk away and not know what’s happening. I love you. I’ve got to save you!”
Ooh, a person! Rapunzel hadn’t met many people yet, but she was intrigued every time she did. She tugged on her hood one last time before stepping from behind a tree, hands raised openly. “It’s just me,” she called back. What else were people supposed to say under these circumstances? Oh, right! “I mean no harm!”
It was now that she got a good look at the man before her. He was dressed well and had a harrowed look to his light eyes. Judging by his stance, he was good with the sword at his hip. “I’m Rapunzel,” she offered to further diffuse the situation.
David looked over the woman, really more of a girl, trying to place her. She was dressed well and had the look of someone of the upper class. But that didn’t make any sense, she seemed to be alone and he couldn’t think of any castles nearby.
“What are you doing out here, Rapunzel? Are you lost?” he asked. He let his hands fall loosely to his sides, approaching while trying to make himself look as harmless as he could, not wanting to scare her.
She looked over her shoulder and moved a few steps closer, and excited gleam in her eyes. “I’m on an adventure!” she said in hushed tones. “But only for a few days. I’m sorry, what was your name?” She self consciously tugged on the edge of her hood again. She’d already said her name, but luckily, he hadn’t seemed to recognize it.
Rapunzel continued at it, swishing her hands back and forth. Slowly, she lowered herself down to the surface of the water, letting her fingers and palms brush the rippling surface back and forth. She willed the water to follow her hands, and when she lifted them, it worked! For a moment, at least. Two handfuls of water followed her palms up a few inches before splatting back to the surface.
Water was a fitful beast but Rapunzel seemed to have a good handle on it, which made Emerald happy. It was honestly a good thing that Rapunzel was able to do this. In a way, the wolf woman felt like this was a good confidence booster for her friend.
“That was great Rapunzel. That’s a hell of a lot more advanced than some beginners get within weeks of training.” Emerald praised her friend, honesty in her voice. “You are a freaking natural with that sort of stuff.”
“Well… water doesn’t feel very different from healing. Sure, it’s fickle, but it’s very, very soothing. Soothing is what I’m all about! Too bad I can’t do this in my own body.”
One reason that I like the idea of Jackunzel is because without the moon or the sun, neither of them would be alive. I like the duality yet similarity of it.
jackunzel week ❉ day 1 ~ once in a blue moonthe lanters festival was something that only happened once a year, at rapunzel’s birthday. it was a day that the girl waited for with great enthusiasm. however, rapunzel’s 18th birthday had been a while ago, leaving a few more months till the blue sky was painted with the golden light of the lanters… or that is what she thought.
She was patient, even when she knew she had limited time. When the buzz seemed to die down, she hurried closer to the wall. She’d seen a flash of his face when he’d looked out the window and needed him to know she was there.
“Jack?” she called up in hushed tones, her back pressed against the stone. She had to find a way to free him!
Sitting there, he waited in silence before hearing her voice. At first, he thought he was imagining things. It sounded too real to not be, though. Looking out the window again, he saw Rapunzel there, sitting against the wall. “Rapunzel?!” he questioned, surprised and worried. “What are you doing here? I..I watched that guard drag you away!” Catching his breath though, he looked down. “You need to go Rapunzel. Before they catch you.” Last thing Jack wanted was for Rapunzel to get hurt for his mistakes.
As soon as his face appeared at the window, her heart leaped. She pushed away from the wall to face him properly. “I’ll explain it all later. We have to get you out of here! I can’t let this happen, I can’t!”
He was so close, and yet there was a wall and bars keeping them apart. She reached through, needing to touch him.
