Because It Can Spawn Angst Like THIS - Tumblr Posts

@kelseyfitzherbert and I were discussing Eugene’s reactions to Rapunzel becoming a bird forever. Here’s what we’ve come up with so far:

Think about how he scrambled forward to catch her at the end of SotS. Now that times 1000 while he hip checks Cassandra out of the way.

His world is crashing down and he lashes out, blaming Cass for letting it happen, blaming Lance and Hook Foot for distracting him, blaming himself for not going with her because he was too busy showing off.

Swearing to this tiny cheeping bird that he will spend the rest of his life trying to find a cure, and that he loves her forever and DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW LONG CANARIES LIVE?!

keeps her on his shoulder

cant bring himself to keep her in a lil bird cage because its too ironic to handle

Is terrified that she’s not actually a tame bird and will one day fly off and never come back.

“IS SHE A MIGRATING BIRD?! I NEED TO KNOW!”

he’s super paranoid about open doors and windows

And he feels TERRIBLE for not wanting to let her go outside unless he’s there.

He bans cats from the palace.
