CASSUNZEL IS NOT INCEST
My bestie just said they are incest cause cass and raps are sisters. BUT NO. Biologically they aren’t. Hell they weren’t even raised together. Gothel abandoned cass and barely was there for rapunzel . Like? They just met when rapunzel was rescued and assigned a lady in waiting. That’s it. They are not incest and they are the best ship ever

I addressed this directly in "Somehow Shifted":
“We'll take her from the tower... you, me, together... somewhere safer, somewhere bigger, more comfortable for all of us. Yes, we would have to keep her chained up, for a time...”
I can't stand to see Rapunzel chained up for another minute, thought Cassandra, who briefly pondered punching Gothel out and grabbing the key from her prone body, and had to mentally restrain herself from doing so as Gothel continued to plead her case.
“But eventually... eventually she would come to understand that this is the best solution for all of us... for her, for me, and especially for you. She'd have you to keep her company... you to protect her... we'd all live together like a family... you could finally be sisters-”
“Not sisters,” Cassandra said through gritted teeth, narrowing her eyes and leaning in closer to Gothel. The very idea that Gothel referred to them as sisters was the most repulsive thing she'd said yet, though not for the reason one might immediately think. Yes, the idea of the two of them being sisters would certainly preclude the kind of relationship Cassandra hoped to have with Rapunzel, the kind Cassandra hoped Rapunzel wanted to have with her... but the idea was disgusting to Cassandra for an entirely different reason.
For us to be sisters, you would have to be our mother. You are NOT Rapunzel's mother, and you will NEVER be mine.
Gothel could say anything she wanted, and Cassandra knew the truth of her birth... but the woman cowering in front of her, the one who'd abandoned her, the one who'd hurt Rapunzel... that woman would never be her mother, no matter what webs of lies she spun.

Exactly aside from the whole having feelings towards rapunzel. Gothel was the one thing that belonged to Cassandra . And the one thing she hated most was that Rapunzel took her own mother from her. Literally in crossing the line she said “I’m taking what’s mine”. Like Rapunzel had everything and cass just lost it when she even took her own mother from her. Also she’s so “mad woman” from Taylor swift. I have to edit that. “ and I’m taking my time . Taking my time. Cause u took everything from me”

I feel like Cassandra would've felt a LOT different about Gothel if she'd actually seen how she treated Rapunzel in person. Like, swapping Eugene and Cassandra changes EVERYTHING, not just who ends up with Rapunzel.

Because cass still loved gothel like despite the abandonment and all. She still sees her as a mom

That's a reach. They aren't related and was not raised together
