TEXT 🥔 ANAGUS

Anabelle: Is that really how you speak to a lady, Magnus? Anyway WHAT exactly are you what-ing? I thought that was a really simple question?

Magnus: No, but I'm speaking with you, so I thought it'd suffice. It's a simple question, emphasis on the 'simple'. When my girlfriend asks random questions, at least she makes them fun. What the fuck can mashed potatoes mean?

TEXT 💖 ANNGUS

Annika: I think maaaybe Tiana’s Place was not the smartest of date places 🙈

Magnus: Was it the alligator playing trumpet? Because that seemed weird to me too. With what lips?

Annika: Lol no! That was cool! You didn’t like it? It was Tenney! I didn’t think about it but she’s friends with my sister and a SNITCH

Magnus: I didn't not like it, it was just kind of mind boggling. He was really good tbh. Huh. Want me to give her stitches? I'm kidding. But what did she snitch about? We weren't that bad, were we?

Annika: I know right?! It makes me want to give teaching Gerda how to kazoo a try again so bad! We weren’t bad at all! She told her that we were on a DATE and Vivi didn’t know that you were the boy I brought for Flemmy day so now she’s mad and it’s this whole awful awful thing!

Magnus: She tried the kazoo? That's cool. What about the drums? Hooves seem like they'd be good natural drumsticks. Sorry it's a whole thing, that sucks. I didn't realize us dating was such a bad thing? It just feels too good to think of it like that, you know?

Annika: Yeah! We love to be well rounded and that was the only one we tried that came out even close to kind of good. We tried drums too but her hooves went smashing through them all so that ended p fast. It’s okay, it’s not your fault. I sort of figured it would be, which is why I tried to keep us kind of low key? But us dating ISN’T a bad thing! I like us dating and you like us dating, right? So us dating is an awesome thing! It’s just the reactions that suck.

Magnus: Do you play kazoo too or is that strictly a Gerda thing? Makes sense. I always wanted to play an instrument but that shit is hard. Us dating is definitely not a bad thing. I like us dating too, a lot, and I'm glad you do. I was a little scared bad reactions might change that for you or something. Anything I can do to help?

Annika: I play it just as well as she does, so kinda! Instruments are SO hard! What have you tried to learn to play? I’m used to bad reactions, that’s no problem for me, don’t worry! I don’t think there’s anything that really like can be helped? It’s just between me and her and probably our parents at some point

Magnus: A little two person kazoo band, that's cute. I tried to learn the fiddle when I got here, actually, which might have been too ambitious but I don't know, I wanted to fit in with my cousins. I failed though, big time. Huh. Sorry you have to go through it alone then. Maybe I can distract you from it with another date?

Annika: It is! Maybe we could play you a song sometime! All your cousins play the fiddle? Also how did you fail BIG TIME at learning to play something? Did you like make the fiddle explode or something? It’s okay, I’m sure we’ll figure it out eventually. Another date would be awesome!

Magnus: Yes please, my own private A&G concert, I'd love that. Not all my cousins play the fiddle but it's a pretty big instrument where they're from. I wish I'd made the fiddle explode, that would've been way more interesting than what really happened, which is just that I tried for a few months and got fed up and never tried again. I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually too. We'll have to, because you're way too great and my life would be so boring if I had to stop seeing you. Nice! Where do you want to go? Should we do like a more private thing this time?

Annika: Awesome! We’ve never given a concert before so this is going to be so much fun! Oh it’s like a Southern Isles thing? That’s cool. Do you still have the fiddle you were learning with? You could explode it now, or like rockstar smash it! We’re definitely not going to have to stop seeing each other, my family isn’t that mean. It’s just getting them to like trust that you’re not going to try to chop my sister’s head off or leave me locked in a room to die, you know typical family stuff! We should definitely do something more private this time, even though Vivi knows now it wouldn’t hurt to be careful.

Magnus: Do you guys need time to rehearse? And yeah, it's one of the most popular instruments there, it really wouldn't have been my first instrumental choice otherwise. I do still have the fiddle. There's like a smash room in Auradon City where you can bring your own stuff and they also provide you shit to break, would you want to go with me to break my fiddle and other stuff? Huh. Okay. If I can do anything to help build that trust, let me know. And okay, maybe we can do the smash room and then go hang out at my place for a while?

Annika: Nah! Playing a kazoo again is like riding a bike but for our mouths! Wild! I really don’t know much about the Southern Isles at all, what else is popular there? Oh! I know about that smash room but I haven’t had a chance to go yet!! That would be so much fun, let’s do it! I’ll definitely let you know, if it all works out the way I think it will an opportunity will come up at some point. Oh that sounds um good. But uh? Is “hanging out at your place” like…code for you smashing ME?

Magnus: Awesome, maybe we can do that before we get back to school then. From what I've seen, people in the Southern Isles really like licorice and beer and riding bikes. There's so many freaking bikes. Sweet, I haven't gone to the smash room either but it's always sounded fun. Do you think they'd let us make a playlist for it? I mean, it's not a code so much as it's an invitation. I like hanging with you and we don't hang much in private. If we wanted to do stuff with that privacy that we couldn't in the middle of a restaurant, I'd be so incredibly down. You know I really like you. But I'm also not expecting anything. If all that happens is that we sit alone in a room together, I'd be happy to be there with you. It depends on what you'd be comfortable with and how we're feeling, I think.

Annika: For sure! I just have to find wherever we put the kazoos! Licorice, beer and bikes? No offense but that sounds like two of the worst things ever and bikes. Are the bikes to make up for all the beer and licorice? I don’t know, but we can make a playlist just in case and if they say no we can sneak in a little speaker? Oh okay! That’s great! We can hang out more in private. I don’t think I’m ready to go all the way just yet but I do want to work on getting more comfortable doing sex type things with you, if that’s cool?

Magnus: We could always buy you guys new kazoos too, unless it has to be the old ones for some reason. And yeah, no offense taken. When I got here, I was looking forward to awesome food, not gross ass licorice and bread soda. I don't know what the bikes are for but they're sure not for practicality. Nice, let's do that. And yeah, of course that's cool. I'm good with literally whatever you're good with, it's all a freaking treat for me, and that's an understatement.

Annika: We could but they’re not like lost lost so going to buy new ones is like kind of a waste since we don’t need FOUR kazoos! Maybe the bikes are for exercise? I’m sure that really must’ve sucked, especially after living somewhere where the food also wasn’t good. But on the bright side, Arendelle does have awesome food and I could give you the full cuisine tour whenever you want! And don’t worry, it’s nothing like the food for Flemmy day, I’m talking about the people food! What kind of songs should we put on the playlist? That’s an UNDERstatement? Lolololol Awesome!

Magnus: Yeah, I guess not. Would you guys ever want a third in your kazoosical or nah? Maybe they are but if you ask me, the bikes mostly seem like they're there for bragging. I don't want to complain about Auradon food, because anything's better than trash, but Southern Isle foods really get close. Really? I'd love the full cuisine tour. What's your favorite Arendelle food? And I don't know, we should either go with really angry sounding songs or really happy ones for an ironic contrast, maybe. Yeah, it's an understatement! I don't think you really get how awesome I think you are. I like everything we get to do together, I don't want to take even a second for granted.

Magnus: That last bit was so cheesy, you can pretend I didn't say that if you want.

Annika: Gerda says she doubts that you’re not tone deaf, but I think you’d be a great third and since I bought the kazoos, I outvote her so you can definitely be the third!! People brag about bikes? What’s so special about bikes? Awesome! We should start a list of cute date ideas and put that one at the top. My favorite is chocolate waffles, which doesn’t SOUND special since I already love waffles and I already love chocolate, but Arendellian chocolate waffles are the best in Auradon hands down. Let’s do both then, it’ll be a fun contrast! Oh gosh. 🥺 That’s so sweet! Ditto!!

Annika: Too late, I thought it was cute and I’m going to screenshot it and get it printed on a t-shirt so if I ever annoy you I’ll just point at my shirt and be like “ok but you think I’m awesome, so don’t take this second for granted either”!!!!!

Magnus: Tell Gerda that she's just jealous that I have opposable thumbs and she doesn't. I'll prove her wrong anyway, thanks for believing in me, maestro. Nothing is special about bikes, absolutely fucking nothing, but brag they do -- how fast they can go, how expensive their bike is, blah blah blah. Alright, I'll add it to the list, and also start the list. Chocolate waffles sound super special to me actually. Chocolate was the worst back in the day because it was moldy or easily mistaken for grosser brown stuff, but chocolate here in Auradon? Fucking stupendous. Maybe one of us should make the angry sounding playlist and one should make the sunshine one.

Magnus: Damn it, I wouldn't even be mad if you did do that, because I'd just think THAT was stupid cute too. What have you done to me?

Annika: I will NOT do that because I want my best friend to like you and she’s sensitive about that! You’re welcome! And even if you are tone deaf, 🤫so are we🤫 so you’ll fit right in. Ewwwww that’s somehow even lamer than Car people. Yay!! Oh gosh. I didn’t know you all didn’t get to have chocolate there too, wow. That’s awful. But I’m glad you get to experience chocolate now. I should’ve invited you for actual christmas so you could’ve tried our chocolate fountain, SO good. Well obviously we know who should make which playlists. My angry playlist is going to be so much fun! I mean ragey!😡

Annika: Good because I’ve already started trying to make it! I didn’t do anything! That really is a cute thing for me to do!

Magnus: She started it! Am I not allowed to stand up for myself? I honestly have no idea if I am tone deaf or not but I'll do my best to blend either way. Right? Bike people are a whole other breed; if we're ever in the Southern Isles together, you'll notice it, I promise. Yeah, all the food was just leftovers and it turns out a lot of people don't throw away chocolate. You guys have a whole fountain of it? Maybe if you still like me next Christmas, I can see for myself. And for sure, my playlist is going to be like smiles and unicorns and rainbows directly into the bloodstream.

Magnus: Everything's a really cute thing for you to do. It's almost annoying, really, how everything you do makes me feel things.

Annika: Nope. If I can’t, neither can you! You just gotta take it! Kazoos shouldn’t be that hard to blend I think? I’m not actually sure if I’m allowed to go to the Southern Isles, but I believe you. If I’d known that, I would’ve thrown away so much fresh chocolate. And just nice NOT leftover things in general. It’s not like a BIG fountain like the ones in the courtyard but like a small one for dipping things in! I have a pretty good feeling that I’ll still like you by next Christmas but we bring it out for more occasions than that, so I’ll just bring you to the next thing! I’m sure! You’re AMAZING at making me feel like there are smiles and unicorns and rainbows in my bloodstream all the time, your playlist is going to rule!!!

Annika: 🥺🥺🥺 But it’s a good annoying right?

Magnus: Fine, I'll deal with it so long as I get to deal with it with you. I don't think so either but I've actually never played with a kazoo. Why wouldn't you be allowed to go to the Southern Isles? You and your family didn't do anything to them; they see their youngest brother as a traitor who got what he deserved. What did you know about all of that? It doesn't sound like they taught you much. Oh, a smaller chocolate fountain makes much more sense than what I was picturing. And good, because I'm pretty sure I'll still like you by then too. Really? I've never gotten that reaction before. Would you believe I've been called a "grump"? Maybe I've just needed to be hanging out with you this whole time to bring out the sunshine side.

Magnus: That's the worst part, it's not actually annoying at all. It's cute as fuck. And weird in the best way. I didn't know it'd feel like this.

Annika: Good! We can bond even more over Gerda lowkey bullying us 💞 That’s so sad because kazoos are the most fun to play but also so exciting because we’ll have so much fun teaching you how to play! Not because of YOUR family, I mean mine. We hold grudges like crazy, that’s why I didn’t know about the beer, licorice and bikes thing. But it’s cool your uncles think of your dad as a traitor. Not a lot! Just the whole “no magic, no wifi, no way off” thing and which villains went over there and why. But I didn’t know you had to eat moldy leftovers, that’s extra unnecessary. 🤗 I would not believe that! Who calls you a grump? You’re not the GOOFIEST guy ever but grumpy? No way!

Annika: That sounds like the BEST part to me! But you didn’t know dating me wouldn’t feel good? That’s so weird lol

Magnus: Way to find a silver lining, babe. Kazoos already sound way better than fiddles so I'm excited. They hold a grudge against my uncles? Why? It's not like they sent their brother over or approved of his actions; in fact, he was punished by them the whole time until Queen Aurora and King Philip came up with a new punishment. And yeah, well, they never liked him but he acted recklessly and represented their kingdom poorly, of course they hate him. Yeah, I almost wish I hadn't told you about the moldy leftover thing now. It must be super unattractive to think of me eating that. I know, right? I'm a freaking delight.

Magnus: It's not the "you" part, it's the "dating" part. I've never done it before. It wasn't a thing where I'm from and I always heard it was supposed to be good but this and you are like way better than I thought it could be is all.

Annika: I know! I’m the best at finding silver linings. Also Babe 🥺 Not against your uncles, just the Southern Isles in general? There and Weaseltown are Placeana non grata basically. Although weirdly my aunt is a little less petty about the Duke of Weaseltown even though by like ALL accounts he was way more of a jerk like the entire time. You think that makes YOU unattractive? I can’t believe you like ME when you had to eat moldy leftovers and the only time I’ve even SEEN mold is science class and the time I left string cheese in my coat pocket for a month 😨 OH MY GOSH, HOW INSENSITIVE WAS IT THAT OUR FIRST DATE WAS IN A DUMPSTER?????? You are!

Annika: Oh wow 😍

Magnus: Its so hot of you. Also, was "babe" okay or does the emoji mean it made you sad? Ah, I see. That is kind of weird but I guess I can't blame anyone for having the bad blood that they do. I mean, the image of someone eating moldy bread is hardly a turn on so yeah. You not experiencing fungus doesn't change the way I see you at all. Hey, don't worry, I didn't take it that way at all. It made me realize how cool and unique you were if anything.

Magnus: I keep saying lame things, huh?

Annika: asdfghjkl it’s HOT of me? Wow! Yes! Babe was great! The emoji meant awww! Yeah, same. Well no, it’s definitely not a turn on but it’s not something that changes the way I see you either! Whew okay good! I still feel bad about it but at least it worked out for us!

Annika: Since when does a heart eyes emoji mean you said something lame??

Magnus: Yeah haha don't sound surprised, basically everything you do is hot to me. Okay, cool, because I liked calling you babe. I like your name a lot too but babe feels cool. You have no idea what a relief that is. Don't feel bad about it, babe. It got us here, didn't it?

Magnus: I guess I'm just used to my friend being sarcastic about that stuff, but it's good to know my girl who I'm dating isn't.

TEXT 📛 MAYNUS

Maya: Okay, I’m sorry. That was a nice idea, I shouldn’t have made fun of it. Having something special just between us would be nice! 😐 You really went on a date with a princess that made you, a former isle resident, climb into a dumpster and then you just texted over dinner? That is completely unexpected. Because I thought YOU were pulling a scheme and it turns out you just happened to pick a princess that might have some weird Isle fetish.

Magnus: Nah, you were right. She didn't make me do either of those things, please, no one can make me do anything; she's just different so treating her differently than any prince here might is part of the scheme and it's obviously working since she invited me to Arendelle for some weird ass troll holiday.

[magnuswestergaard]

TEXT 📛 MAYNUS

Maya: We can’t be good friends that use each other’s full names now? I guess you do kind of need to have a brain before you can brainwash anyone. But Less of a princess how? You only had to go ballroom dancing through the forest for five minutes instead of the entire date or something?

Magnus: We can and are good friends no matter what but I just thought it'd be nice to have something special between us, sheesh, forget it. No, no ballroom dancing at all. Did I tell you we had a food fight in a dumpster? And then we just like texted over dinner instead of talking. It wasn't what I expected like at all.

[magnuswestergaard]

TEXT 📛 MAYNUS

Maya: Or don’t? My name is only 7 letters total, it doesn’t need some doofy nickname. ESPECIALLY if the idea came from her? Vom. How’d your date go by the way? Did she brainwash you into being annoying or something? Is that where the nickname came from?

Magnus: The point isn't for it to be doofy, the point is it shows what good friends we are or whatever. Shut up, the date was fine. She couldn't brainwash me if she tried, but she's also different than I was expecting. Definitely less of a "princess", you know?

[magnuswestergaard]

TEXT 📛 MAYNUS

Maya: Idk, do you like Maggie? And also possibly being friendless? WHO told you that was a sign of friendship?

Magnus: I get it, I'll workshop it some more. Annika.

Magnus: I need to make up a cringy nickname for you. That’s a sign of friendship, apparently. Do you like Mimster?

TEXT 👀 ANNGUS

Magnus: Hey. Is this Annika?

Annika: Who’s asking 👀

Magnus: It's Magnus W. From school?

Annika: Why do you wanna know 👀

Magnus: Because I'd like to talk to her.

Annika: Why 👀

Magnus: Because I'm a fan of eye emojis, obviously.

Annika: Makes sense more sense than anything else👀👀👀

Magnus: What's up?

Annika: Nothing? What’s up with you???

Magnus: Just got done with fencing practice and idk I'm kind of bored. And you're unboring.

Annika: Oh thanks! I don’t know how how to make you unbored too though?

Magnus: You're doing it already but if you want to try a new method, I've got an idea. I'll say a word and you say the first thing it makes you think of. Sound good?

Annika: I am!? Yay! And okay sure! I love games, so sounds great to me!!

Magnus: Yeah, you are. It's nice that you're as entertaining as you are cute. Okay, let's start. Gnomes.

Annika: You think i’m CUTE? And entertaining? And it’s NICE?

Annika: Gnomes make me think of Gnomeo and Juliet

Magnus: I'm pretty sure your cuteness is objective but yeah, it's nice. I don't usually like fun people but you make it work.

Magnus: What is that? Next word, pungent.

Annika: What does that mean??? Also I didn’t think you usually like ME so wym???

Annika: Romeo and Juliet but gnomes, obviously? Pungent makes me think stinky but like in a cheese way. Even though I don’t think I’ve ever smelled a cheese that was actually THAT stinky.

Magnus: It means that if I asked anybody, I'm sure they'd agree with me, and if they didn't, they'd be wrong, not me. What do YOU mean?

Magnus: Is that an existing thing or did you come up with that? I've only ever smelled stinky cheese but that's because it's very fermented where I'm from. Okay, what about picnics?

Annika: Oh, cool! I mean! I didn’t think you liked me? Like at all?

Annika: It’s a thing! I wish I thought of it. Ohhh yeah, I’d bet! Was it good though? Blue cheese is very fermented I think and that’s what the blue is, but I think it’s great with hot wings! Picnics are boring.

Magnus: You can't dislike what you don't know, but I'd say you're off to a better start than you think.

Magnus: Is it a play like the original? I was never a huge fan of cheese until I got here, actually. I think picnics are boring too. And messy. Why put the food on the ground where the hungry ants are? Okay, movie theaters?

Annika: I dislike grapefruits and I don’t really know any like that but okay.

Annika: Nope, it’s a movie and not really a good one either. But the name and idea are super fun. What’s your favorite kind of cheese now that you’re here? Messy is fine and so is feeding the ants, they’re hungry! But no one ever wants to be FUN at picnics. Movie theaters don’t let in reindeers.

Magnus: Grapefruits? Why?

Magnus: Would you say its worth watching? I'm a gouda guy myself but I like most of them, really. You? Is it blue cheese? What would you want to do at a picnic then? Hmm. Okay, ice skating?

Annika: I don’t trust em.

Annika: Nope, I don’t even actually remember what happens other than Gnomeo doesn’t even die. Gouda to know about you! I like brie the best because they have that tough peely layer on top and I think it’s so fun and so yummy. Food fights, rolling down hills and everything everyone says NOT to do at picnics. I love ice skating! It makes me think of my Aunt Elsa, she makes thee best ice rinks in the whole world!

Magnus: As in you don't think they'd be as tasty as they look? Or as in you think the government bugs them?

Magnus: That's lame, Romeo dying was the best part. You better brie-lieve it. Brie is good too, especially for a soft cheese. You would've loved picnics back on the Isle, food fights and rolling around were par for the course. Maybe you've just had the wrong company. I've heard great things about your aunt's ice rinks. I've always kind of wanted to try them out. You any good as an ice skating teacher?

Annika: As in neither? They look like oranges and I don’t like oranges either. Do YOU think the government bugs them?

Annika: How is Romeo dying the BEST part? Thats so sad 🥺 I don’t think I’ve had the WRONG company because it’s usually my family and stuff, I just don’t think I’m a pincnic person in general but I probably would have so much fun at an isle picnic with food fights. Well it’s almost the good holidays so i’m sure she’ll put one up soon. I’ve taught lots of kids around Arendelle AND my reindeer, Gerda, so I THINK I might be a kinda good teacher!

Magnus: I was mostly trying to figure out on what level you didn't trust them, like if it was a surface level or a conspiracy theory one.

Magnus: Its the resolution of the play, what everything was building up to. Sad it may be but that's the point, the real tragedy is that these young people never got a chance to live and love as their true selves thanks to the grudges of old men, and that's the moment of no return. You've had the wrong company for the sort of picnic you'd more likely enjoy, I mean. If you ever want to go to one and have a food fight, I'm pretty good at those, but be warned, I don't take it easy on newbies. Do you think you could teach me?

Annika: OHHHH! Kind of both then, cuz why do they have to look like oranges so bad? Is it a trick from Big Citrus to eat more random fruits?

Annika: So? That doesn’t make it the BEST part! Just the saddest part! Ohh, then yeah kind of? I REALLY don’t like picnics, but thank you for the offer. I think I’m good at food fights in non picnic-y places too and i’m NOT a newbie! I just don’t get to do them a LOT but I can still hold my own in battle! Yeah probaby, you’d be a lot easier than Gerda since you only have two feet.

Magnus: What would BC gain from tricking people into eating more fruits outside their comfort zone? That's the real question.

Magnus: Its the part with the most payoff. My favorite part of the story is always when we get to why this story matters. Yeah? Okay then, food fight novice, choose your arena. If you'd be down, I'd love a few lessons. Who is Gerda though and exactly how many feet does she have?

Annika: You’re right! That is the real question! And another good reason for why I don’t want to eat grapefruits.

Annika: That makes sense, I prefer all the cute parts that usually build up to stuff like that. Gimme time to think of somewhere easy to clean and I gotcha! And I’m definitely down to give you some lessons, everyone should learn how to skate! Gerda’s my reindeer! She has four hooves!

Magnus: If I ever see a grapefruit near you, I'll stop-cut it.

Magnus: So you like the ride up the roller coaster more than the fall? Good to know. Wouldn't basically anywhere in your castle be easy to clean since you have, you know, cleaners? I think you're just scared of how soundly I'd beat you and are stalling. But cool, thanks. I don't really have a lot of money to pay for the lessons though. You have a reindeer?

Annika: What’s a stop-cut?

Annika: Yeah! I like it better on real roller coasters too! I guess, technically? But I make enough messes already and don’t wanna give them EXTRA stuff to do, so if we have a food fight I’d rather it be something /I/ can clean. I’m not scared of you, I’m sure I’d kick your butt in a food fight! That’s okay, I don’t need you to pay me for the lessons. I have enough already! I do! I thought everyone knew that tbh, she’s my best friend!

Magnus: Its a fencing term. It basically means I'd stab it with my sabre for you.

Magnus: That's cool. I like the fall better in real life too, even if it never makes me scream. I guess if we had a fight in a dumpster we wouldn't have to clean up. I don't think you could kick my butt in any kind of fight but that's cute of you. And cool, thanks. I don't know as much about you as I'd want to but learning is cool. What do you like so much about her?

Annika: Oh! Violent! Thanks!

Annika: The falls don’t make you scream? What do you do during roller coasters then? Just sit there like 😐 the whole ride? A DUMPSTER! I’ve never been in a dumpster! We can definitely food fight in a dumpster! You’ve never seen me fight, I could totally kick it all over the place! You’re welcome! We had an article written about us in RoyalTea a couple years ago that I could link you, they got the BEST pictures of her for it. I love /everything/ about her, we’ve been best friends our whole lives and do almost everything together!

Magnus: Violent but elegant, like the art of fencing itself. You're welcome.

Magnus: I've never ridden a roller coaster with somebody so I'm not sure what my face does but I'm pretty sure it's not all 😩 or 🤪or even 😲. Dumpster food fight it is. We can discuss the ground rules when we get there. You could be an incredible fighter, I'm not doubting that; I just know I'm better. I'm kind of trained, just saying. If there are also pictures of you in the article then yeah, please link me. Almost everything? What's the weirdest place you've ever brought her along?

Annika: Is that why you like it?

Annika: Haven’t you ever looked at the pictures they have at the end of the ride? I always look at those and I always look like 😫 in them! Yesssss! Full dumpster fight or empty? Are you TRAINED in food fighting? How does anyone train in food fighting? Yeah, it’s pictures of both of us mostly! {{LINK}} I made her come with me to the bathroom once? It was awkward for both of us since she didn’t really have room to turn around, so now it’s ALMOST everywhere.

Magnus: I like the elegance and how quick it is. I also love how the sport is equal parts physical and mental. Mostly I like it because I'm the best at it.

Magnus: They take pictures of people during roller coasters? I've never noticed. I bet you look more like 😝 or 🤗. Hmm, a full dumpster means more ammunition and softer blows, but an empty one gives us more space. You pick. I'm trained in all sorts of fighting. It's kind of required where I'm from. Food is just another weapon in the right, or wrong, circumstances. Aww. I always thought all of you princesses having your own animal sidekicks was a rumor but it suits you. She kind of looks like you, is that weird to say? I can't believe you took her to the bathroom though, that's hilarious.

Annika: You have to THINK to go stabby stabby but fancy???

Annika: YEAH! Most rides have a camera on the drop and then you can buy them at the end! So I have actual proof that I ONLY look like 😫 on them! Um I pick full, but only with like fresh ammunition since I don’t want to take HARD blows but also I don’t wanna smell like trash? Hmm okay, but I’m scrappy so I still think I can stand a chance! I don’t like to think of Gerda as a sidekick, we’re just equals! You think I kinda look like a reindeer????? She’s a cutie but like…that is sort of weird? It was an EMERGENCY and I didn’t want her to get lost! It wasn’t THAT hilarious at the time but I’m sure we looked so silly!

Magnus: Sort of. The stabbing itself is pretty thoughtless, the elegance takes practice, and knowing how to block an incoming attack while also spotting your opponent's next weak spot is where the thinking comes in. It's like chess but hot.

Magnus: They take pictures of you in your weakest moments and then sell them to you? And I thought the villains were evil. I'd love to see the proof though. You got it, let's find empty dumpsters and fill them up with ammunition and go to town. I don't ever want to smell like trash either. Scrappy does get people surprisingly far but I'm scrappy too. I mostly meant that she's also cute, albeit not in the human way that you are, and also the mannerisms? It's not that you two are like twins or anything, it's like how pets and their people grow to look alike, even though she's not your pet. If I was in a bathroom and saw reindeer feet under the door of a bathroom stall, I'd think I was losing my mind.

Annika: WAIT! Fencing is HOT? 🤺

Annika: I don’t think it’s supposed to be the WEAKEST moments, just at the part where you have the most fun reaction of being on the ride! Okay sure! I have some of them in my scrapbooks, so as soon as I find them I’ll show you! Dumpsters are like totally rentable, So I can just order one when I’m getting ammunition? I’m scrappy and smaller you so I’m not as easy a target as you are! 🤔 That still sounds like you’re saying I look like a reindeer but thanks anyway! OKAY TO CLARIFY IT WAS LIKE A ONE PERSON RESTROOM NOT ONE WITH STALLS! We wouldn’t have fit and she could’ve waited by the sinks or something!

Magnus: I'm guessing that means you think its not?

Magnus: Its just weird to me that they don't give you pictures of yourself for free, I guess. I'd say I'll show you mine if you show me yours but I don't have scrapbooks. I don't even take pictures. I can't believe we're really renting a dumpster for this but I did say anywhere. I'm good at minimizing myself as a target, like scrunching and ducking and stuff. Plus I'm fast. The fastest sabre in the land. I think you look like a lot of things, none of them reindeer based, but digging in to how beautiful a girl is when you haven't been invited to say so is rude. I appreciate the clarification. Still kind of crazy, but I like crazy.

Annika: I didn’t even know it was a thing people could find hot! So Nope

Annika: It is kind of weird, isn’t it? But I guess that just reduces paper waste since not all of them are keepers. YOU DON’T TAKE PICTURES? HUH? Why not!? Are you on the lam? 👀What’d you do? 👀 I can’t either but it’s not even the weirdest thing I’ve ever rented, if you can believe that! How little can you duck and scrunch when you’re already like six feet? There are no sabres in food fights, so good luck speedy! Okay but what if the girl is inviting you to say so now? ☺️

Magnus: You didn't think a sport could be found hot? I thought that was universal.

Magnus: It would also reduce paper waste by emailing free copies of the photo to those who give their email. I don't know, it just doesn't seem that hard to be eco-friendly and low cost. I'm not "on the lam", I'm not a criminal. I just don't like pictures. They're so fake; they don't actually represent real moments in time, they're just how you want other people to think of you instead. I can definitely believe it. What's the weirdest thing you've ever rented? A bouncy house? A pink limo? A hype man to follow you around all day? I'll show you how much I can duck and scrunch if you promise not to get too impressed. There might not be sabres allowed but my hands are fast and what do we throw things with? Hands. If you're inviting me to say so? I'd be dumb if I missed out on the opportunity to tell you how just uniquely gorgeous you are. I've never seen anyone else who can be both so cute yet so hot at the same time and I didn't think it was possible until I saw you. It's honestly kind of weird that a girl like you is even taking the time to message me back. Don't stop messaging back now that I've pointed that out though.

Annika: No? But also I thought people thought the people who PLAY the sport just happened to be hot, not hot because they play the sport.

Annika: They’re still low cost, last time I went they were only like Sixteen dollars or something like that and idk maybe it’s to make up for the fact that all the rides are like unlimited free to ride or something like that? Who doesn’t like pictures! Pictures are so fun! And that’s ONLY true about Instaroyal pictures! Pictures TOTALLY represent real moments in time, usually candid ones which are always fun but then even super posed up Instaroyal pictures are a good time capsule of how you wanted people to look at you at a certain point in time which is also really important to have to remember too. That’s what makes scrapbooking so fun! I can’t tell you what the weirdest thing is or else I’ll have to kill you but the fact that you accurately guessed both a bouncy house and a pink limo is so terrifying! I make no promises for how impressed I’ll be but please show me anyway! Fair enough! Oh. Okay. Thank you.

Magnus: Fair enough. I guess what I really meant then is that its like chess but physical.

Magnus: Sixteen dollars? For a photograph of yourself? That's a picture of you! Why does it cost you money?! Is entrance to the amusement park free? Because otherwise it makes no sense. Lots of people don't like pictures, I'm sure. I can't be the only one. Maybe that's what pictures are supposed to represent but that's not how people use them, and it's not like I have a ton of friends who have cameras around to capture actual candid moments of me. I've never scrapbooked but I feel like I could've guessed you do even if you hadn't told me. That's not scary, is it? I think it just means getting to know you is going pretty well. You're welcome. Any time.

Annika: You already called it hot, you can’t take it back now!

Annika: Yeah? It’s got a fun boarder around it and put it in a fancy little envelope thing and they didn’t HAVE to put a camera on the ride. No, but idk how much money amusement parks need to make! Really? Who? I don’t know anyone who hates pictures. It’s not how people use them ON PURPOSE, but it’s still something that happens. You have phones! Haven’t you ever taken a selfie? Really? I give off scrapbooker vibes too? It’s not SCARY SCARY. It’s just like “gosh i’m so predictable!” scary! But you’re right, it probably does just mean you’re getting to know me better. 👍

Magnus: Sure I can. I just did. It's not like fencing turns me on, or like I find other fencers hot.

Magnus: You scrapbook, you can add a fun border around it yourself, and a camera on a rollercoaster can't be that expensive that the admission to the amusement park doesn't already cover it. I don't know, I'm not in a club with other people who hate getting their picture taking, I can't give you a roster. Of course I've never taken a selfie. Why would I take a selfie? Yeah, you seem like you care about preserving memories and making fun things last as long as they can, idk, you seem bubbly, I guess. You're definitely not predictable though. I never would've thought my subtle questioning to find out the best place to take you out would lead me to a dumpster. You're just the right amount of predictable where it feels like I'm getting to know you and I can also get wildly surprised by you sometimes. Its pretty cool actually.

Annika: Nuh uh! You said it and it’s stuck in my phone and the internet forever since I took a screenshot! Then what’s the hot part?!

Annika: I can but it’s so much fun to have the one they make AND the ones I can make for myself! I don’t know! It could cover ride maintenance! Rides break down or have weird stops like alllllllll the time! How fun would it be if you WERE in a club with people who didn’t like getting their pictures taken? You could all show up with messy hair and pjs and there’s not going to be ANY evidence! I don’t know why you would since you hate pictures but it’s so weeeeird that you haven’t! I do like preserving memories and making fun things last as long as possible and I AM bubbly! You’re gr8 at reading people. Well kind of. Because if you were really great at it, you’d know that I had no idea that you were trying to take me out? What!?

Magnus: Yes, but your apt questioning of it made me think about what I meant and thinking about what I meant made me realize I misspoke. It gets pretty warm in the suit though.

Magnus: Wait, rides break down all the time and people still go to amusement parks? That's the real insane part. Would the only requirement for the club be to hate photos? Because that's not a strong common denominator for a club, and besides, plenty of people wear pjs and messy hair all the time, or at least to class. I think it'd be more like crazy hat meetings if anything. Why is it weird that I don't selfie? I know I'm handsome, I don't need pictures of me doing duck face to prove it. I mean... is it bad that I was kind of hoping you'd have no idea I was trying to take you out? Since we're being real, Plan A was getting you to hang out with me thinking nothing of it and we'd have such a good time that I'd get to the second hang out right away. I've never really asked anybody out before and I didn't know how to do it. Is that okay?

Annika: Mmhmm suuure

Annika: Yeah but not like in a DEADLY way, just in the way cars break down sometimes so it’s fine. Yes! It’s a great common denominator! You can all discuss why you hate pictures and all the pictures you’ve avoided and the things you do to remember fun times instead! But making it a crazy hat thing too would be so fun! Because selfies are fun! Especially with instaroyal and zapchat filters! And you don’t even have to do a duck face, it’ll really give you a DUCK’S FACE! Kind of? Why would you want to trick me into going out with you!? Do you need something from my parents? Or from my sister? IS THAT WHY YOU WANTED TO LEARN TO ICE SKATE? Dude she has a boyfriend and going through me is a TERRIBLE strategy

Magnus: It does. You ever try on one of those suits? They're sweaty.

Magnus: I clearly have not been to enough amusement parks because I was picturing, like, death. Discussing why we hate pictures sounds like it'd take nothing more than one meeting, and the only thing I do to remember fun times instead is journal, sometimes, which doesn't seem like a club activity? Crazy hats are the best, people don't wear them often enough. I've never used a filter, I wouldn't know, but it sounds weird. Like why wouldn't I just look up a picture of a duck? Okay, lots of questions, I'll try and take them one by one. I want to go out with you because you interest me and like I said, I've never asked someone out before so I don't know how to do it. I don't need anything from your parents, and I really don't need anything from your sister. I actually know how to ice skate already, that was just another way of trying to get a date with you, and I have no idea what that could have to do with your parents or sister. And I'm not "going through you" to try and get to her. She's not my type.

Annika: I have not, they’re ugly. Which is another reason it’s sooo wild you called fencing hot.

Annika: Clearly! Nothing here is ever DEADLY! Nuh uh, it would be like a support group so you all learn how to get better! Depending on the kind of journal, it could totes be a club activity! THEY ARE! !!!! Do your friends lowkey hate you or something? How do you not know how filters work either!!! IT’S YOUR FACE AND A DUCKS SMASHED TOGETHER TO MAKE A FUN PICTURE!!! So you thought TRICKING me was a good nice idea? Also my sister is a way better ice skater than me and if you want to get something official to my parents she’s a good place to start since she’s the heir and all. WHICH MAKES WAY MORE SENSE THAN HER NOT BEING YOUR TYPE BUT ME BEING IT APPARENTLY. HUH????

Magnus: You're really going to make me defend that word choice, aren't you? Fine. Strategy is hot, fighting is hot, and I probably look good doing it.

Magnus: What do we have to get better about? Taking pictures? Because I have to say, I don't think that's the character flaw you think it is. And I wouldn't share my journal with anyone. Writing is pretty personal, or at least, mine is. I only have one friend and she might hate me so yeah, maybe. I just don't use social media much. Do you have a picture of Duckikka? Because I want to see it. I don't know! I told you like an embarrassing amount of times, I've never asked anyone out before! Can you imagine if I just texted you and said "Hey, can I take you on a date? Also, my name is Magnus."? I don't know stuff about your sister and honestly, I don't really care to, and AGAIN, I don't want to get anything to your parents. I don't get how any of it is confusing. Like, no offense to your sister, but she seems pretty stuffy and I'm stuffy enough for two. She also seems pretty basic which is fine for some people but like... I don't know, I've never dated anyone before but you're fun and cute and not like anyone else I've talked to here. And that makes me want to keep talking to you.

Annika: Rest of conversation canceled. Rip ur fencing kink and ducknika. I’m very confused and all the extra words aren’t helping. YOU WANT TO GO OUT WITH ME FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN YOU THINK I’M INTERESTING AND FUN AND CUTE LIKE LEGITIMATELY EVEN THOUGH THE BEST DATE YOU COULD TRICK ME INTO WAS FOOD FIGHTING IN GARBAGE?

Magnus: That's not my kink, but fine! Look, I don't find people interesting often. Or like, ever. But you? You're interesting as heck, and you're also crazy hot. I had to shoot my shot. And in my defense, the food fight dumpster date was as much your idea as it was mine! But I stand by it. If the food fight doesn't sound fun to you anymore, I can renegotiate, but I'd rather have an unorthodox first date than something sterile like going to a dinner together and saying fake shit to impress each other, you know? And I'm not like good at fun. I know that. I need someone who is.

Annika: WHATEVER I DON’T KINKSHAME, MOVING ON!!!! I KNOW THE FOOD FIGHT IDEA WAS JUST AS MUCH MY IDEA AS IT WAS YOURS! AND YOU’RE INTO THAT? LIKE IN A DATEY WAY?! IT SOUNDS SO FUN TO ME AS A FIRST DATE IDEA BUT LIKE????? WHAT???

Magnus: You can't kinkshame something that's not a kink! That's what I've been saying this whole time, yes, in a date way! The kind of girl who would want to do something like that is exactly the kind of girl I want to take out. You don't even to have to be as good looking as you are, honestly! That's just a bonus! And now I'm using exclamation marks and I never do that but I guess I'm just hoping you hear me! What, am I not asking you out in the right way and you're like aghast at my decorum? Do I have to wait in line? Or ask in person? Because I will.

Annika: SURE SURE. I KNOW THAT BUT IT’S STILL NOT PROCESSING! I CAN HEAR YOU! WELL NOT HEAR BUT LIKE I GET THE IMPACT OF THE EXCLAMATION POINTS AND AM STUNNED! i don’t know the right way to ask people out! And WHAT line? Oh my gosh. Is there another Annika at school who you think this is??? Cuz maybe you should ask me in person so you know for sure who you’re talking to!

Magnus: Can I do anything other than exclamation marks to get the point across? Because you're taking a long time to process and it's making me nervous. I'm not asking about the right way to ask people out, I don't care about people, I'm asking about the right way to ask you out. I'll ask in person but I know who you are. You're Annika Bjorgman from Arendelle, friend to the reindeer, scrapbooker, renter of weird things, and hopefully generous to socially inept dudes who ask you on dates?

Annika: Dude, I’ll totes go out with you! I just like? Couldn’t fully process that it wasn’t like an accident or something mean. But you seem pretty legit? So you don’t actually have to ask me in person or anything else.

Magnus: I went into the conversation trying to work up the nerve so no, definitely not an accident. And the only mean thing is that I don't know how to do this like a normal person. But thanks! For saying yes. You still want to do the food fight? Because I'm pretty amped for it, honestly.

Annika: According to this movie I saw one time, after a date you’re supposed to wait three days before you call the person. But I’m not sure how long you’re supposed to wait to text?

Magnus: Did that rule work for the people in movies? For the record, you can text me literally whenever. How've you been? It's been a while.

Magnus: That was supposed to be a joke since, you know, I just saw you.

Annika: I don’t know what that rule is even supposed to do so i’m not sure??? Okay good to know! I’ve been good, I grew 6 inches, shaved all my hair off and moved to Atlantica!

Annika: I know, what I said was a joke too!

Magnus: It was a good joke. I was starting to think I'd have to stand on my tiptoes if I ever wanted to kiss you again which I'm not against but would definitely be an adjustment.

Magnus: I'm pretty bored again. Missing you.

Annika: 🥺 You’d still want to kiss me if I grew six inches? 🥺

Annika: Again?! You’ve really got to work on your boredness problem, Dude! How can I help?

Magnus: Its hard to think of something that would make me not to want to kiss you. I kind of haven't stopped thinking about it.

Magnus: I know, right? It's a real issue. You can help by telling me what the hell you'd want for Christmas, maybe. I'm thinking getting you a gift would be fun.

[magnuswestergaard]

Do you have a "type" and if so, how would you describe it?

I haven’t liked enough people to have a type, but if I had to come up with something for the sake of saying something, it’d be that I like people who can teach me things I don’t already know.

[magnuswestergaard]

How did you lose your virginity?

Where I’m from, dating was frowned upon, but at a certain point some needs come up so a friend and I made a mutual decision to just do it to do it. It went pretty well, all things considered, and I don’t regret the decision. 

[magnuswestergaard]

What would you say is your greatest talent?

I’d have to say fencing. I’m more than proficient at it and I really think my skills in that field can take me far.

[magnuswestergaard]

what's your weirdest sexual fantasy?

Probably the one where I get my partner jealous enough to the point where they take me away and we have what I can only describe as possessive sex. 

[magnuswestergaard]

What do you want for christmas?

A subscription to anything that can help me learn more languages. I’m fluent in English and Danish but I’m itching to add more to the list.

[magnuswestergaard]

Which royal couple do you admire the most?

Queen Rapunzel and King Eugene. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t impressed with his ability to go from thief to a ruler; it really shows anything can happen. And Queen Rapunzel cares a lot about her people and about second chances, she’s someone who never would’ve allowed the concept of the Isle.

[magnuswestergaard]

How are you the most like your parent(s)? The most different?

Like my father, I’m ambitious. Unlike him, I care about not disgracing my family name. As for my mother, I’m like her in that I’ve been told I’m mysterious. Unlike her, I don’t run away from things, like a child.
