Cryokinetic Sámi Lesbian power couple vs. 1950s homophobia: who would win? (Who would get buried under layers of snow?)
Reference and inspiration from this :
I wanted to give credits to the artist as I usually do, however unfortunately this is a pretty popular artpost from a long while back, and so has circulated around the internet uncredited quite a bit. I did try a reverse image search but it didn't yield any favorable results. If anyone knowns please feel free to DM me and I'd be sure to give credit where it's due.
Now, explaining some artistic choices:
I wanted to draw an elsamaren version of this piece because the girls in it reminded me of elsamaren look-wise.
Elsa's style is kind of based on her concept art back when they were experimenting with her looks pertaining to her role and character in the movie, when it was still undecided. I headcanon her and Honeymaren as one of those revolutionary queer and indigenous activists from back in the day who weren't afraid to throw hands (and sharper-than-normal icicles) for the sake of their causes.
There was no real reason to draw Hans here; he's just the in-canon recognizable antagonist who's pursuing someone close to Elsa she'd rather he didn't. He just fit the box here, that's all.
+ Cryokinetic here refers to ice manipulation and not the actual real-world, non- fictional term please don't come for me I just wanted a cute description and its like 4 AM as is usual for me.
Here's another version with Elsa's clothes slightly different (styles are swapped) just bcz I couldn't help myself and was really happy with the outcome.

I wanted to make so much Elsamaren content for Mermay (I was going to call my version Mergay) but as it comes to a close I'm gonna have to accept I really couldnt fulfill my expectations. Still, not losing heart and trying to keep making more content, written and drawn as Pride June comes around. Trying to remind myself that facing major surgery due to domestic abuse, a covid scare and juggling work complications with that isn't easy. I'm happy I've at least managed to reinvigorate my interest in writing again and I'm having fun with my artwork. All's not lost but so long, another Mermay gone.
