Nooooo
Nah this scene is so foul-- also--
I really don't like how so many people like, complain about Rapunzel's short brown hair. I mean-- my man Eugene was dying and literally sliced it with the last of his strength to SAVE HER from being held prisoner by Gothel. And her cut hair is supposed to represent a dramatic change within her, like she's reborn as her true self and is shows she is more than her magic hair. But noo people are still like "She's ugly with short brown hair" and say shit like "I'd rather die than lose my long blonde hair!" or "I can't even watch the ending to Tangled because of what he does to her hair" Like ummm 💀💀
I was baffled when I read those confessions on the Disney confession page-- 🤠
Rant over, now onto the sad chapter ❤️😭

"Faunus!" she says breathlessly as she pulls herself up, bracing herself on her knees to catch her breath. "I-- I didn't think I'd ever see your... face again..."
(Y/N) trails off with wide eyes, looking up.
Faunus lets out a muffled scream of warning, yanking on the chains attached to his wrist behind him as he tries to get to her. (Y/N)'s eyes narrow as she swiftly turns while drawing her dagger, elbowing Gothel, who was standing directly behind her.
Her elbow collides with his jaw, making him stagger back towards the window as she backs up with her dagger raised defensively, standing in front of Faunus. Gothel rubs his jaw, smirking wickedly as he draws his own dagger.
"So, the little girl wants to fight," he muses in a sing song, tracing his finger along the blade of his dagger.
(Y/N) doesn't respond to Gothel, glaring him down as Faunus continues to let out muffled shouts as the chains behind him rattle loudly. (Y/N) watches Gothel with sharp eyes, gasping as he charges at her. She dodges to her left and ducks below the swing of his knife, swiftly swinging hers with a shout at his face.
The dagger cuts his cheek, Gothel grunting in pain as he raises a knee and collides it with her gut. (Y/N) sharply exhales as the wind was knocked out of her, forcing her to bend a bit.
Faunus shouts out, the wooden beam groaning a bit against his strength as he yanks against the chains with all he had.
(Y/N) quickly recovers as she rears her fist back, colliding it with Gothel's jaw and knocking him staggering to his side. He turns to her with a snarl, charging at her.
He collides with her, the two getting sent tumbling to the ground as (Y/N) drops her dagger, the metal clanging on the ground loudly.
Gothel scrambles to his feet and raises his dagger, swinging it down at (Y/N). She rises on uneven legs and grabs onto his bruised wrist, making him wince in pain as she holds his dagger back, his arm shaking lightly.
He smirks with cold eyes, releasing his dagger. (Y/N)'s eyes follow the dagger's path as it falls, her eyes widening when Gothel catches the dagger in his other hand. He thrusts his arm forward, a strangled shout leaving her as the dagger pierces through her.
Faunus screams her name through the cloth gagging him, his breathing loud and panicked as he thrashes against the chains.
Gothel slides his dagger out as (Y/N) falls to the ground, her hand clenching her injured side.
"Now, look what you've done, Faunus!" Gothel clicks his tongue, shaking his head in disapproval. "But don't worry, dear."
He steps over (Y/N)'s form, (Y/N) gritting her teeth in pain as she weakly reaches for Gothel's cape. She grabs onto it, her hand shaking as she grips it tightly.
Gothel turns back, sneering as he yanks his cape free while turning to Faunus. "Our secret will die with her."
(Y/N)'s hand falls to the ground as she struggles to catch her breath, curling up a bit as she holds her side painfully. Faunus releases muffled protests as Gothel approaches him, untying the chain from around the pillar.
"And as for us..."
Gothel struggles to hold Faunus back, Faunus instantly yanking with all his strength when he feels the chains slacken. Gothel pulls the chain back with both hands, Faunus fighting him as he tries to reach (Y/N).
Pascal emerges from his hiding spot with wide eyes, his face hardening as he charges at Gothel.
"We are going... where no one will ever find you again!" Gothel speaks through gritted teeth, grunting with effort as he pulls Faunus towards the trap door.
Faunus yanks away from him, tripping a bit as he continues to try to get to (Y/N). Pascal snarls as he bites onto Gothel's cape, tugging on it. Gothel looks down in surprise, scowling as he grunts and kicks away the chameleon.
Pascal squeaks in pain as he hits the wall, landing on the carpeted ground.
"Faunus, really!" Gothel snarls as he pulls Faunus towards the trap door, Faunus looking at it with terror before he pulls against Gothel roughly. "Enough already!"
Faunus doesn't let up, fighting against Gothel.
"Stop... fighting me!"
Faunus lunges away from Gothel, his gag falling down with the jerked action as he lands on his hip while angled away from him.
"No!" Faunus roars, pulling against the chains as he glares up at Gothel. "I won't stop, for every minute for the rest of my life, I will fight!"
His chest heaves with anger, Gothel glaring down at him as he pulls the chain.
"I will never stop trying to get away from you!" Faunus shouts powerfully, his breathing calming a bit as his expression softens. "But... But if you let me save her, I will go with you."
Gothel's brow arches at this, his eyes squinting suspiciously.
"Don't--" (Y/N) gasps and winces, struggling to keep her eyes open. "Don't, Faunus!"
Pascal weakly rises, looking to Faunus as he speaks.
"I will never run, I'll never try to escape," Faunus speaks honestly, shaking his head. "Just let me heal her, and you and I will be together-- forever! Just like you want. Everything will be the way it was!"
He looks up at Gothel with pleading eyes, voice thick with emotion.
"I promise."
Pascal lets out a gasp at his words, squeaking sadly.
"Just like you want," Faunus breathes heavily, his eyes darting towards (Y/N) before he looks back up to Gothel. "Just... let me... heal her," he enunciates his words firmly.
Gothel looks down at him with a glare, though it softens a bit as he slowly nods.
...
(Y/N) was now leaning against the pillar while on the ground, Gothel clasping the chain that had previously been on Faunus around her wrist before he loops it around the staircase pillar and ties it securely.
"In case you get any ideas about following us," he lowly says, throwing her hand down as she winces.
(Y/N) coughs weakly as she tries to grab at him, Gothel rising as he walks away. She cries out in pain, her hand dropping and holding her side.
"(Y/N)!" Faunus stammers out fearfully as he runs to her, dropping on his knees beside her as he cups her face in his hands.
She opens her mouth to speak, only gasping breaths leaving her as Faunus pushes her hair from her face and looks down at her hands. Faunus gently moves them away and flinches as she whimpers softly, devastation on his face when he sees blood seeping through the cloth of her dress.
"I'm-- I'm so sorry," he whispers softly, turning and quickly gathering some of his hair. "Everything is going to be okay, though."
"Faunus-- no," (Y/N) manages out, weakly shoving at his hands when he tries to put his hair on her wound.
"I promise, you'll be okay," Faunus reassures, tugging her hand away from her injury. "You have to trust me."
(Y/N)'s chest rises and falls rapidly with her ragged breaths, her eyes falling shut a few times.
"No-- No, come on. Just breathe!" Faunus urges gently, moving to set his hair over her wound once more.
"Faunus," (Y/N) firmly says in a whisper, making him pause his movements and look to her. "I... I can't... let you do this."
Faunus lets out a soft breath, eyes tearing up as he looks down at her. "And I can't let you die."
(Y/N) shakes her head weakly, "If you do this, you'll have... have to go with that-- that man, and you'll never... never meet--"
"Hey," Faunus cuts her off with a small smile, cupping the side of her face. "It's going to be all right."
(Y/N) looks up at him as some tears fall from her eyes, knowing she couldn't change his mind. Faunus' thumb strokes over her cheekbone before he lowers his hand, grabbing his hair. He sets it over her, opening his mouth as he softly inhales to sing.
"Sunshine-- Faunus..." (Y/N) weakly stops him, making his eyes open in question. "Wait."
She reaches up, affectionately brushing some hair from his face as he smiles tearfully. Her hand trails back as he leans down towards her, their lips brushing against one another when--
(Y/N)'s hand bundles the hair towards the base of his neck, a shout of effort leaving her as she swings her dagger at it, slicing cleanly through it. Her hand falls to her side, the strength leaving her as the dagger rolls out of her hand.
"(Y/N)--!" Faunus exclaims in a whisper, reaching back at his hair as it starts to turn a light shade of brown.
Gothel's eyes widen as he screams, reaching towards Faunus. "No!!"
Faunus grabs at his hair and lifts it a bit, looking over it with horror as it slowly changes from gold to brown. Gothel frantically grabs at his hair, holding it in his arms.
"No, no, no, no, no!" Gothel blubbers hysterically, the hair in his arms turning brown as well as he looks down at his hand. "What have you done?!"
He shrieks as his hand and arm pale and wrinkle, his muscle thinning drastically.
"What have you done?!" he demands furiously, voice becoming weak and old.
Gothel's hair turns bright white, his face drooping with his old age as he wrinkles.
"No!"
He clenches his fist as he rushes towards the mirror, staggering on his weak legs as he falls to his knees in front of the shattered mirror.
"No... No! No!" Gothel screams in terror, rising and staggering backwards as he frantically yanks his hood over his head.
Gothel sobs loudly as he backs towards the window, Pascal's eyes darting to his side. He bites onto some of Faunus' cut hair, yanking it towards him. Gothel trips over it, exclaiming and flailing his arms and legs before screaming as he falls out of the window, Faunus gasping and reaching for him.
...
Gothel screams as he falls from the tall tower, the sunlight shining through the clouds. His screaming comes to an abrupt halt as he continues falling, colliding with the ground.
Only dust poofs out of his cape, marking the end of Father Gothel as the sun shines down on the ground where his cape lies.
