You can’t really go there seeking out discussion (on Tumblr). I mainly just very selectively posted on certain topics, uploaded a few pictures that may have stimulated discussion then got involved with that. By all means check it out (r/Frozen). It’s interesting though, because it is fairly quiet over there too (I say quiet, there are over 20,000 members, but it’s relative). Hmm, threads, or do you just mean subs? In general the things posted there are quite safe, and every so often the NSFW tab is added. Yeah, just some vandal on the Wiki renamed her page Shrek… it wasn’t too long ago.

Yes, kudos to them all. Definitely one of my favourite teams when it comes to these kinds of creations. They all seem quite selfless and communicate so well for the betterment of the project. As in you’ve never seen “Let It Go” as a source of interpretation for making Elsa a sort of gay icon? I think it’s the source of almost every interpretation, the moment where the most people connected to her. The thing with all these ships is that they exist for the people who want to ship them; but then to try and project that into the universe itself somewhat defeats the object of the ship, especially the more out-there ones. They’ve already got it for themselves by making it up. Why do they then need it to be projected for everyone else to see? Self-validation I imagine. And it shows what people did with Honeymaren just how easily people will run with something. And even if it isn’t, just add your own subtext and away you go! We got this awesome sequel without them implementing any of the derived ideas people had from the first film. It all just stemmed from the question of where Elsa’s powers came from, and how that can be answered in the most constructive and fulfilling way possible.

I don’t think the people of Arendelle had a problem with the Northuldra – it seems to only be Runeard that seriously had it in for them it appears. Eh, I don’t think they’re separated, just living apart some of the time. It’s a bit of an allegory for life where you can’t live in the pockets of your family: I think Anna learnt that, otherwise she would have been a bag of nerves by the end of the film. It took Elsa to effectively die for Anna to realise how strong she was, to stand on her own and face the world. Now it’s all open for another adventure, if any. I’ve no idea what Elsa is doing in the Forest: she even says that in a deleted scene. It’s all just left open like at the end of the first film. The chapter ends and we are satisfied with the closure, but as in life, the book never closes completely.

No problem :-) I’m figuring with the end of your love for Marvel you were in search for something else. It’s wonderful that it was Frozen :-) That’s cool that you did that. Keeping a private diary can also help, just on Word or something. That way you can organise and restructure your thoughts and feeling as they evolve. It’s so great to see these female leads, and more so the impact they’ve had. I am still trying to fully conceptualise it, especially the impact it’s had on me. No film or characters has ever hit me quite like this has. Thank you. I try not to rant so much, more just bleed of steam in controlled bursts.

It’s pretty funny, yeah. Some of it is a bit too close to the bone, almost bringing the entire front crashing down, which makes it more unnerving than funny, but still brilliant.
