I noticed you censored “G-d,” are you Jewish or just appropriating because you think it’s cute?

I'm not Jewish. I do it as a sign of respect, and I'm not sure how it's appropriation. Can any of the folks reading this give me a better explanation of if/how this is appropriative?

How old is the kingdom of Arendelle according to the movies, books, and comics of the franchise?

Hello Anon and thank you for your question!

There are basically two main but wildly opposing theories about the age of the Kingdom or Arendelle:

1 - It is a "young" kingdom formed less than a century before Frozen. This is supported by some of the novels making references to Runeard and his people "arriving in Arendelle and building themselves a castle".

Excerpts from the Frozen II The Junior Novel Prologue and Dangerous Secrets, ch. 6.

2 - It is an "old" kingdom many centuries old. Some of the novels make references to Aren of Arendelle, a legendary hero and ruler from "the time before time" who settled by the Arenfjord with his people and founded the kingdom. This idea which is very much in line with the history of Arendelle's real-life Nordic neighbours Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Several books and comics make references to ancient relatives of Anna and Elsa and there being at least "ten rulers of Arendelle" who would not exist without it being a kingdom centuries old.

Excerpt from Polar Nights, ch. 10.

The idea of Runeard as "the founder and builder of the castle" seems to originate around the time of the release of Frozen II and related novels (Forest of Shadows and Dangerous Secrets). Both novels contain some vague references about Runeard and his role in the construction of the castle and possibly in the founding of the kingdom itself (it's not said directly). It's very likely that Runeard's role in Arendelle's history was more fleshed out in some early draft of the movie script but as changes were made, these details were watered down and only traces remain in some books.

In the later novel Polar Nights, nothing is mentioned about Ruenard's connections to Arendelle's past and instead, Aren is credited as the ruler of "Arendelle of old", suggesting Arendelle did in fact pre-date Runeard's rule.

In the anthology-novel All is Found, in the chapter A Midsummer's Song and Dance, there are some references to Runeard being responsible for building the castle but nothing is said about him being the founder of the kingdom.

Our takeaway from this conflicting information is that Disney authors and editors have not been given clear instructions about how to treat the history of Arendelle. It's also impossible to say whether the filmmakers will preserve any of these ideas in Frozen III and Frozen IV.

Below, you will find links to our previous articles on the matter. To make a long story short, depending on the source, Arendelle could have formed as a kingdom as late as the mid/late 18th century or as early as the 6th century AD or even earlier! It depends heavily how you choose to interpret the very limited information we have about Arendelle's history.

Questions for older men (30+): What are your thoughts on the awkwardness and shyness of younger girls in your presence?

I usually find it hard to stop smiling awkwardly, blushing and mumbling, I'm always afraid that I look stupid. Do I?

[menhi-and-jiri]

I’ve gone through your posts and, at the moment, your story doesn’t make much sense.

How do you expect me to identify with a character who’s constantly being demonised, whilst another is portrayed as the best

Sorry, I’m a menhera-kei, and from experience, I’m not looking to portray a character as good or bad.

But we always tend to see self-destructive behaviour as bad and positive behaviour as good.

In this case, my story isn’t about looking for good or bad; it’s about two different people who can’t be together because of the way they are.

Jirai isn’t a bad person; she’s just a damaged person. Menhera isn’t a good person; she’s just an obsessed person.

The two hurt each other in every possible way, even in the good aspects. Lore spoiler:

Her mission isn’t for Jirai’s sake, but rather driven by a selfish desire to protect something she believes is right; in a way, she ends up adopting the same attitudes as her father.

Subject and Object

Why is it said subject and object are one?

This goes back to the common denominator of "experiencing" and "existence"

If you can only be certain of beingness, awareness, existence how could the split of subject and objects be verified? If all that appears can only be verified by your experiencing of them, what would that indicate? That all dualities and definitions are occurring "within" and made up of beingness, no? In which case they are empty appearances of being and not a solid actuality. Again, what do the words infinity and limitless imply? (You are not to be boxed into any frameworks, concepts, ideas)

You might ask why do I see a difference between silent eternal awareness and this chaos of experience? This is merely thought imposing a duality. "Silent eternal awareness" is a made up term, and sometimes used as a pointer that's not to he taken seriously. You cannot confine ungraspable infinity(that you actually are) to any one given term, pointer, state, experience, and then try to find it within those confines. That's just thoughts in a loop, just you going over your own head in a frenzy.

All that you see is in fact the infinite! You see? You notice the indivisibility of what you are, what is experienced, and see that nothing is beyond your purview. Noticing you're always meditating on yourself.

And like this has been said before, don't trust words or writings. Don't trust anything. What do you have without verifying this for yourself? Ignorance. That's all you have without your own direct verification of actuality. Because words and concepts will always fall short, you are always one step ahead of your own illusions.

What is trust even? Who can trust? Can thoughts really trust thoughts? Or is trust just another idea? You're just playing games with yourself (which is fine)

Also the entire philosophical word vomit of subject vs. object is exhausting. Don't think too much about it, just notice the indivisibility of your being and what appears within. You don't need to "figure" anything out.
