Eugelsa

Eugelsa (also known as Felsa) is the name given to the pairing of Eugene from Tangled (2010) and Elsa from Frozen (2013).

Relationship Overview
Rapunzel and Eugene were seen in a cameo during Elsa's coronation. Though the setting would be vastly different, the odds of "Flynn Rider" arriving in Arendelle to steal something from the castle and meeting Elsa on the way out is theoretically possible.

Both characters' life messages focus on the aspect of self image and negative freedom (escapism), where love, acceptance, and second chances give the deuteragonists redemptation. As quoted by Zachary Levi and Idina Menzel, they learn to "own who they are and be their truest selves" without introjection, perfectionism, or overcompensation. For example, the facade that was "Flynn Rider" was an imitation of a storybook swashbuckler to conceal the character flaws, childhood agonies, and insecurities inside Eugene (as he, himself, calls his childhood a sob-story where no one accepted "Eugene Fitzherbert"), while the facade that was "Queen Elsa" was an imitation of her father's expectations to conceal the character flaws, childhood anxieties, and insecurities inside Elsa.

Being accepted for who he really was and sacrificing himself rights Eugene, while being sacrificed to, and then accepted for who she really is, rights Elsa. The deuteragonists finish their arcs knowing it's okay to be themselves no matter where they stand, needing to not be diminished to or ocstraized by labels and flaws by the people around them (or even themselves) in order to grow. Letting insecurities go are the silver-linings that mature them beyond their greatest obstacles: harmonizing with themselves and society.

What some shippers may create as a rapport between the characters is what led to this proclaimed symbolism. The deuteragonists missed out on family life (or in this case, family warmth) in the impressionable years of youth, followed by a loss of parents. Forced to grow up too fast without parental validation, and (according to Eugene) disesteemed by factors regarding their true selves, they left those deemed their younger siblings (Eugene's bio calls him, "something of an older brother to the younger orphans" in his Flynnigan Rider era, despite never being accepted as himself by anyone but Rapunzel) by running away from 'home' to overwrite it with a path that permitted them to make their own lives.

The comfort "a new life" provided was the Tangled/Frozen idea of a "fixer-upper" for psychological issues that the deuteragonists believed to be strictly physiological ''(I.E. Elsa and Eugene feeling that the orphanage and the kingdom, or even their social statuses, are what "held them back"). ''Finding where their potential could be expressed, they went on to operate from where they were most comfortable, which was out of range and miles away, where the natural "take charge" drive prevalent in their characters served as their own beacons.

Some fans interpret that they submitted to decline ("I can't rise above my obstacles, so I have to find a burrow") by hijacking the belief that being escapists paved new opportunities, as he found no way to deal with his drastic circumstances other than to steal from nobility, while she found no way to deal with her drastic circumstances other than to abandon nobility.

Others apply some lyrics of "Let It Go" to both of their departures from what they believed to be restrictive, "downer-sob-story" upbringings:

"It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small. I'm never going back; the past is in the past. I don't care what they're going to say. That perfect is gone. No right, no wrong - no rules for me; I'm free. You can't find me; the past is so behind me. Turn away and slam the door. They'll never see me cry. I know I left a life behind, but I'm too relieved to grieve..."

Though unlike Elsa, Eugene refused to accept and angst over detriment. Despite his less than ideal, self-proclaimed "dysfunctional" environment, he chose to "inhabit dreamy waters" by extracting the mud from it, and is also that much more light-hearted because of it.

The redeeming side of this ambitious nature urged Rapunzel's arc to embody "all that one imagines themselves to be," that "we needn't necessarily accept the broken situation into which we're born; that we may live according to our own design and decide to be self-made. When life pinions you, you, 'go out and find a new dream.'"

Unlike Eugene, who "believed he had nothing to lose by becoming as extraordinary a character as he thought he could be," Elsa suppressed her need for automony and extraordinaire, "exchanging personal will for obedience and service." It's here where the "seeds of resentment planted themselves," making her shadow bend towards his pathway when she finally does, "sacrifice her humility along with the strict responsibility she imposed on herself in youth" by allowing herself to become extraordinary and independent. "It's time to see what I can do..."

To shippers, this gave them a sassy peasant who became -- not only an unbeholden individualist, but an outlawed runaway, and a sassy queen who surrendered to both levels of that same path to transform.

When they run away and revamp themselves, they ultimately leave (or believe they have left) the damaged (child) part of themselves behind, including the flaws and traumas. It seemed the meaning of growing up and transitioning into adulthood. Aside from this, they romanticized solitude (his island "to be rested and alone on," her mountain to be alone and free on), but never acquired true confidence by being solitary.

The outlawed peasant and exiled queen are later sentenced to death after being blackmailed. Although they were in the act of embracing their true selves beforehand, they faced the gallows with the possibility of not seeing the ones who loved them (for who they really were) again.

With the full consequence of hitting rock bottom before they're allowed to repair their shortcomings (or even reverse their mistakes), they realize on their own that they can't run from themselves anymore, or from the past. They end up accepting both their flaws and their pros, finding the meaning of love in self love, as well as reconciliation with love, which results in finally "Letting It Go." Merging back into society equated the healthier definition of taking charge of one's own life ''(positive freedom). ''

Some shippers build an empathy between them where their antics serve comical, bantering purposes, while still having an understanding of the other's primary functions at the very end of development based on either the above or the characters' perceptiveness to see through others. Some use the elements of politics, manipulation, prejudice, snarky innuendo, wit, and ambigious motives in an "outlaw x queen" setting to create a morality tale between the two. Some unite Eugene's role of "the sacrifical lamb" to service love and Elsa's role as the "God who must be sacrificed to" to acknowledge love after the former gleans from the latter's selflessness or feels sympathy for her "locked up" isolation "for being a deformity" the way he does Rapunzel. Some use Eugene's fixation on storytelling to have him recite "the story of The Snow Queen" to a campfire of children with the purpose of humanizing Elsa to others.

Others play off Eugene "Seeing the Light" when she "Lets It Go" (I.E. watching her own who she is, and feeling some inspiration to do the same). Others make them sour before sweetening them with the collisive chaos of their canon plots.

This pairing may commonly be shipped by those who also ship Jackunzel.
