I’ve Got This
(Cass’ version)
So one day I was singing along to “I’ve Got This” while thinking about Cass (as I typically do) when it hit me:
That thread of “I’ve got this” is a very Cass-like line. She prefers to work alone and be independent. There’s multiple times where she tries to handle things on her own because she’s determined to prove others wrong or just simply prove herself to others. In any case, her response is the same: “I’ve got this.”
So, that’s how this song came about. I enjoyed rewriting I’d Give Anything to include her perspective (see here) plus writing my own original song called Plus Est En Vous. Without further ado, here’s I’ve Got This (Cass’ version)!
p.s. this took me almost two whole years to write since I started it then forget about it 😅 also, it’s Cass’ perspective throughout the series as a whole (up until the start of Season 3)
[CASSANDRA]
Royal princess-sitting?
That’s not what I had hoped for
But I’ll do it just to show them
To prove that I am worth more
Bring it on, I'm ready
'Cause I got this
I’ve got this
Just watch
[CAPTAIN] (spoken)
Cassandra, meet Princess Rapunzel
[RAPUNZEL] (sung)
My hair’s grown back and just won’t break, it’s stronger than before.
[CASSANDRA]
Uh oh...
[EUGENE]
Zhan Tiri’s here and stirring up Corona’s biggest storm.
[CASSANDRA]
*sigh*
[LANCE]
Now we’re on the road but we don’t know which way to go
[RAPUNZEL]
To find and take the moonstone!
[CASSANDRA]
Right!
Let’s just listen to Adira, she’s done this before
I hate to admit it, but I think that she knows more
Now we’re through the forest but the great tree is before us
Raps just burned my hand, it’s seared
[LANCE]
Let’s get out of here!
[ADIRA]
Short hair’s injured and angry
Says she can handle herself
She doesn’t want or need me
She tries to prove to herself
Nonetheless, this girl still thinks she’s got this
She tries
But she’s got no clue
~~~~~ start flashback ~~~~~
[CASSANDRA] (spoken)
I could have stopped it. You should have let me try.
[HECTOR]
Listen, your friend is right.
~~~~~ end flashback ~~~~~
[EUGENE] (sung)
But since we left the tree we’ve all got on each other’s nerves.
[CASSANDRA]
Ugh!
[RAPUNZEL]
Cass won’t talk to me and I don’t know what to do.
[CASSANDRA]
I’m fine!
[EUGENE]
Now they’re back together
[RAPUNZEL]
But things aren’t really better
[CASSANDRA]
My time is long overdue!
[RAPUNZEL]
Cassandra, wait!
[CASSANDRA]
Now that I’ve got the moonstone
I’m off to test its power
Since they denied the best of me
They get to see the rest of me
At last I can say that now I finally got this
Is it worth it?
I don’t know…
Who would've thought how far from getting this I could go?

Yeah, I’ve only posted on 2-3 of them in the past year or so. I’m not good at juggling either 😅
Hi! I’d just like to say that you seem really nice and we seem to be into the same things, so I thought I’d say hello 😁
this got dorky I apologize 😂
No, don’t apologize! This is like the second “ask” I’ve gotten, so I appreciate it! Hello and thank you so much! 🥰
p.s. I’m a nerdy introvert so I understand dorky

Oh, then congrats and welcome! I’ve been on tumblr since 2015, but I only started interacting with people in the last year or so. Other than that it’s just been sharing interests. I have 13 other blogs, half of them centered around a specific ship from various fandoms (Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts, Frozen). The others are faith-based, music-related, or relate to some other aspect of my personality. It’s definitely a great place for sharing interests!

Funny Story
That moment when you’re singing “Nothing Left to Lose” and thinking, “Wow, I wish I read that book (The Turning of the Screw) so I would know if this line of the song is an allusion to the book’s plot or theme.”
That’s when it hits me.
It’s Taming of the Shrew, not Turning of the Screw.
* eternal facepalm *
It’s fine, I’m fine, everything’s fine. 🙃😅😂😂

Don’t mind me reblogging past posts because they include Nothing to Lose to honor the song’s 2 year anniversary 😅❤️❤️ okay, goodbye for now
Nothing Left to Lose
So I love to analyze song lyrics and while I was listening to this heart-wrenching tune, I thought about the back and forth part between Varian and Cass. Here’s the lyrics in case you need a refresher (Cass’ part is in parenthesis):
Listen, please (Lose)
You've lost your grip and lost your mind (I'm not gonna lose)
All's not lost, don't be so blind (I refuse)
Cut your losses, drop the IOUs (I refuse)
Ooh, choose!
When Cass sings “lose”, what exactly is she refusing to lose? Her grip and her mind? Losing to Rapunzel just like she’s done all her life? All of the above?
I think it’s during this song that Cass really allows her insecurities to drive her decision-making. She’s so upset and blinded by the fact that she has to win at something, has to prove herself to others by taking control of her destiny in order to feel worthy.
Part of me thinks that her singing “I’m not gonna lose” also refers to her belief that she won’t lose control. She literally thinks there’s no way she’ll lose control because in her mind, she is in control despite being manipulated by Zhan Tiri the whole freaking time. So she’s trying to convince Varian (and maybe even herself) that her turn to “the dark side” isn’t so bad; everyone’s making a big deal out of it when to Cass, she’s just following her destiny instead of silently waiting in the wings like she’s always done.
Finally, our black rock goddess refuses to “cut her losses and drop the IOU’s”. I completely understand this part and letting the meaning sink in really hurts. Cass is done accepting things as they are and decides she’s no longer gonna let things slide. After all the times she’s swept things under the rug for the sake of her job or duties, Cass prioritizes her feelings and desires for a change. Her response to this line (“I refuse”) is pretty straightforward, but it could also reveal Cass’ belief that it’s too late for her to turn back and make things right. Now that she’s chosen this path, there’s no turning back.
All this to remind our souls that Cass just wants to be happy but feels that she must do so at the expense of her friends and loved ones. Why do I love to torture myself with these characters and songs?

Happy Anniversary!
“Nothing Left to Lose” is one of my favorite TTS songs, if not my absolute favorite. It’s probably between that and “Crossing the Line”. Anyways, I can’t believe this song has been out for two whole years! Huge shoutout to Eden Espinosa and Jeremy Jordan (as well as the rest of the crew) for creating this spectacular soundtrack! Seriously, it inspired me to create my own alter ego/villain song. I don’t know if that’s a good thing, but it felt good. I’m about to find the behind the scenes footage for this song because it’s just as insanely impressive. Long live Nothing Left to Lose! 😍🤩😍🤩
Happy anniversary to the boppiest bop

I’m currently rereading Moonless Air and find myself gasping and giggling every time Moira or Cass have a Moment™️ or even look in the other’s direction. Like, I can’t handle this. I’m a wreck, guys, but it’s fine. I’m totally fine 😭😭
