It's nice to hear someone relating to what I've said and have been in similar situations :-)

I would like to say that, especially with Elsa in this film, a lot of people conncect with her; you just have to look at the poll on the homepage to get an idea of it. Superficially, it may be her looks that'll catch your eye first, but there is a lot more to her than that!

The picture I have as my avatar is just one of those moments I love about Elsa; part of the way through her transformation, with her hair down, and showing that gleeful, almost cheeky expression, about to complete her physical - but also mental and metaphorical - transformation. Many, including myself, love all the characters, but there's something - especially with Elsa - that keeps people loving and relating to her.

I had to put someone in their place when they responded to someone elses comment that said "I love Elsa." They put back something about her being "nothing more than pixels." Not cool man, not cool. I sorted them out. This comment was one of the reasons I started thinking about why something fictional can have such an impact. I responded with something about how pixels are extremely evocative and subjective things, just like any form of storytelling device, and they agreed, proclaiming their love for  Frozen; I could tell by previous comments of theirs they loved it anyway. So I sorted them out ;-) You can't single out pixels. What about books? Although you can touch a book, (which, as he pointed out you can't do with pixels) you can't physically see the characters, (like you can with pixels. No, not pixels - images!) you construct them in your mind. But they, for the same reasons as I stated earlier are just as evocative and subjective as an image, in some cases more so.

And thank you for your nice words :-) I would sound like a crazy person somewhere else - I don't even attempt to get this deep with my friends. It's not their fault or anything, it's just that I feel that if you open up too much to someone, especially like this, you leave yourself vulnerable if your relationship sours with them, and your traits become weapons to be used against you. I don’t just mean talking about Frozen by the way, although I have to be careful what I say. I have had the same trouble with Halo. A great series, but even when your other friends like it, it still only takes one to interpret you differently and so they begin to stir up the whole group, leaving me to bring them all back down, to make them see through this exaggeration. They know I like it, and in many situations you don’t have to mention something too often to be called “obsessed”. An obsession is when you are troubled constantly by something. I’m not troubled by any means – what I have said is just a small amalgam of a few parts of the thinking I have done over three months or so. Relative to everything else in my life, I don’t think the ‘philosophical’ thinking I do takes up any more time than any other aspect of my life. If I’m doing nothing, why can’t I do something, like think? And if so, why can’t I have somewhere to put my ideas down within a group of like minded people? This is why I love this Wiki, and others, plus Youtube, where you can talk, agree, disagree, but respect another individual's opinions, just as yoou hope for the same mutual respect in return.
