Everything Disney Cartoon Related, Especially Frozen

Frozen fan art to wish you all a whole bunch of Happy Holidays!

P.S. This image isn’t showing up as the width of the Tumblr dashboard column and it’s bugging me big time. Does anyone know how to fix this or are you guys seeing it at maximum width?

Drawing her was a different feeling 😍

Buried in the Snow.... Let it Go..."

Not to get emo on main but you ever think about how the troop sang about their dreams of finding “a girl worth fighting for”, and they think their girl worth fighting for is one of romance, but the song abruptly comes to a halt when they find a different girl worth fighting for.

A tiny girl that had been killed at the hands of the Huns. A child too weak, too small to have any chance of withstanding the murderous invaders. That is their girl worth fighting for.

This is fucking horrific

It’s also worth noting that ‘A Girl Worth Fighting For’ is the last song in the movie. Up until here, it’s a fun movie, and the imminent invasion feels like it’s just there to keep the plot moving, and to provide a little bit of drama to spice things up. None of the soldier’s are quite taking this seriously yet; sure, Mulan wanted to save her father from the draft, and on some level she was aware that he would die if he went to war, but beyond that she’s interested in not being caught, and not shaming her family. Her motives are good, but they’re entirely self centered. All the other soldiers are more or less in the same boat - they want to get tougher, they want to impress girls, they want to be cool soldiers. Shang’s easily the most serious of the bunch at first, and even then it’s just because training bad soldiers will reflect poorly on him, and important people are paying attention.

The abrupt ending of ‘A Girl Worth Fighting For’ is the wake up call. The soldiers and the audience get slapped in the face with the realization of what’s really at stake here. China is being invaded. Villages are burning, civilians are dying, and this isn’t going to stop until the country is conquered or the invaders are defeated. This is not a fun musical, this is a major crisis.

Mulan is such a good movie for so many reasons, but the abrupt tone shift is such a major reason why. It’s an excellent commentary on the reality of war, and it being a kids movie just meant they had to make their point without showing any actual gore, which I’d honestly say makes it that much more poignant.

That moment, when they come over the rise and see the razed village is one of the best scenes in film. Period. Somehow, instead of giving me tonal whiplash, it took my breath away, and that’s one fuck of a balancing act.

Hello there!

I'm sorry I haven't able to continue reading your masterpiece. (Live's been busy, and with little time I have, I can only focus in one fandom 😔). Anyway I know you're an amazing writter.

So for the ask game:

2 and 15

Hope you have a great day 🥰

Hi, Tare-chan! Such a long time. I'm so glad to see you in my notification box. Please, don't apologise about that, I can't expect people to stay in one fandom for so many years lol. I'm the one who's taking forever to finish the story. And I know exactly how you feel, my only fandom atm is Frozen and I can't follow all the stories I'd like to. I have several in line tbh. Who knows, maybe one day when Søsken is finished you can stop by and see what happens at the end. I can drop a message when that happens if you want :P

Now, about the questions, let's see... 2. Do you read/reread your own fics? Oh, yes. Actually when you read the first chapters of Søsken you can see in the A/N that I constatly say the story is a personal challenge and that I am writing it for myself. I was not lying about that. I'm still challenging myself and writing it for myself. I was just immensely lucky for people like you to like the story and start reading it alongside me. Lately, I've been re-reading the latest chapters and I've had more trouble re-reading the first ten chapters. Whenever I go back to the very beginning I see all the little mistakes and things I'd like to correct and I get distracted. One day I'll correct those mistakes. For now, I just read and try to enjoy whatever thoughts I put into words. Re-reading also helps me see if I have already tackled major plot points or not. So, it's both entertaining and helpful.

15. How do you come up with titles for your fics/chapters? I've got to admit that titles are hard. Harder than I thought they would be. Usually, when the title for a chapter comes first and links the different scenes is better. When that happens I have a thread to follow. Most of the time, sadly, I can't find the right title and I end up listening to songs that inspired the scenes or part of the story to see if one of the words in the lyrics help me name the chapter. 90% of the time I write the chapter first and then I try to see what I can do about the name. Thank you for stopping by and leaving an ask! Thank you for your kind words as well! So glad to see you're doing okay, just vibing in a different fandom :D
