randomly went to read up on some old issues and reopened the gaping hans and anna hole in me. my shipper feels were unfulfilled in the movies so i'm indulging in those here. i want them to end up together!!!! but will it be foiled because anna is latching on to the first person who seems to care?? the pain!!!!! the forbidden!!!! I WILL DIE IF I NEVER FIND OUT
dude i hardcore shipped anna and hans before the first movie came out. I was so down for a legit love triangle in a disney princess move lol. we were both let down lol!
there is still so much to come on the hans/anna front in this comic....that’s all I can say for now. I’m sorry!!
Ugh!! The latest issue (223)! Jack is such a sad bean I can'tttttt I just can'ttttt my poor bean all that complex emotion you wrote it so wellllll ya I just want to wrap Jack up in a blanket
Right?
Jack hides what he’s been through so well but when he finally breaks down, we see how much he’s had to go through for a person so young and ahhh. My heart aches for him.
And yesss, he deserves a nice warm blanket and a hot cup of cocoa.
lovelovelove the latest issue!! the dynamics among the teachers are just so much fun to watch!!! i felt so bad for hans tho. a lil confused about why elsa and esme seem to be plotting together against him. and like the other anony i don't like the looks between hans and esme. anyway this has just been a bucket of feelings. protect hans at all cost
This was for Issue #216 and I’m so glad you are loving the dynamics! The teachers/staff make me so happy because they act like a bunch of angsty teens and that’s all I could really ask for.
I feel for Hans too. Like I know Elsa and Esme started this over Anna but lets keep it within reason. I know he’s sus but let’s hear him out, you know?
I’ll be honest, I’m LIVING for the looks between Esme or Hans. Whether it’s flirting or growing animosity or just teasing, I’M HERE FOR IT.
What does that last panel mean?? WHAT DOES IT MEAN??? On a related note I am super enjoying this tiptoe-y phase between them bc I remember a jackunzel post floating around about how they'd totally be the "will they won't they" pair that just FRUSTRATES EVERYONE AROUND THEM [continued]
So as per the usual, I’m going to answer all these asks individually because it’s easier for me to reply to everything that way. Also, these asks honestly made me jump up and down and just hold my face because I was so happy. And I thought you should know that.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. YOU TELL ME.
And that post was so right. Like they honestly are both so shy in their own way that that doesn’t surprise me at all.
[continued] Also, I really really enjoyed the panels with them walking on a bridge against that amazing backdrop of trees. It was such a pleasant surprise and the scene felt so real and I suddenly felt like wow this is a real movie (A+ cinematic zoomout and visual arrangement) and I just hadn't realised how much I really enjoy your creativity in editing so thank you and I hope this gives you a boost to remember people love your work 👍
Honestly this means so much. More than I can explain. Because at that point of the editing I was like “Do I really need this? Do I? I can just as easily zoom up to them and edit it in half the time” But I really wanted to show how they were spatially from being inside and show them on a bridge and give this entirely different perspective. So I stuck with it.
And you freakin’ noticing that and appreciating that is everything. And calling it a cinematic zoomout as a film geek is just AHHHHHHHH. That’s where I was jumping up and down. I was really hoping it would look like a movie scene so thank you so much.
This really was the boost I needed to remember that people like you are out there and are amazing and here for all of it. Thank you so much. *hugs*
[MORE APPRECIATION COMING YOUR WAY] I loved this issue so much I looked at it slowly again. Can I just appreciate how many different backdrops you had to choose and arrange to make a smooth progression of them walking realistically through the campus??? On that note, I know the asking-Gothel-about-dorming thing will totally be important to the plot, but I love how nothing else is happening in the issue except them walking together. It's so simple but it feels so peaceful [continued]
AHHHH. And you continue to make my life. So many background images. And frustratingly a lot of them didn’t work. But I finally got to a place I was okay with. And again, you noticing that is just so encouraging. Like it literally is telling me “Hey, keep doing this. It is appreciated.” So again, thank you.
And totally agree- while I know the next issue is going to be intenseeee, I liked that this was really just all about a convo. That’s it.
[continued] It feels like those scenes in movies that aren't really for the sake of plot but simply for enjoying the characters and relationships. I like how it cuts from the panel with them almost holding hands to the one with the green backdrop and the exchange where Jack asks what's on her mind. Classic film move. So quiet, I feel like I'm listening from a distance and trying to catch this conversation just for two. [continued]
i’m on the floor now and i’m just flailing around. what more can i say. at this moment i have nothing.
THANK YOU FOR NOTICING THE ZOOM IN TO THE ZOOM OUT. I LOVE MOVIES AND I TRY TO MIMIC SHOTS AND CINEMATOGRAPHY MOTIFS WHENEVER I CAN AHHHHHHHH.
But seriously, I can’t describe it better than you did. Especially with how you described this as scene that does nothing major for the plot but it does everything for characters. That’s all I was hoping for.
[continued] Okay, I'm done arty-geeking out. If you can't tell already, I really really love this issue, for its almost-cinematic quality on top of the pure jackunzel fluff <3
Your art-geeking made my life. PLEASE, PLEASE feel free to do so whenever you want in the future.
Almost-cinematic quality? Go shut your face. Go shut it.
Jk, I love you and you made my everything. 💙
also i’m @fictiondotcom so you see this because I know I sometimes let long, beautiful asks fall into the abyss but I didn’t want to do that this time.
I've been in Hong Kong and China for the past two weeks and have had little access to the web, let alone Tumblr. so right now I'm on a machine in the hotel gym using their web access and i have read the past seven pages of WTWA updates on this cycling machine and it is so hard to type on this stupid screen but i hope this is saying something about how amazing your work is (oh i've burnt 47 calories cool)
Sent at around Issue #66 and this is for sure one of the best asks I’ve ever received.
nonononono I'm trying to block out all the theories suspecting Hans bc like the ridiculous idealist I am I have kind of always liked the idea of Hans and Anna so this is like a dream come true and PUMPKIN IF THERE'S ANYONE I'D TRUST TO OVERTURN CANON IT'S YOU
“PUMPKIN IF THERE'S ANYONE I'D TRUST TO OVERTURN CANON IT'S YOU” haahahahaha i am SO OKAY with having this reputation
but I feel you so much. Like I genuinely want this to end well...or not even end well but just “be well” lol. I just want Anna to be happy and if Hans can appropriately be part of that, that would be great. That would be so great.
No sympathy for Flynn from me. Very irritatingly thoughtless. Pocahontas is right in dumping him. Why does she even love him?! Flynn gotta let it go man.
That’s a completely fair opinion to have. Honestly, I still think there needs to be a discussion of Flynn’s actions the past few months (not just his overall view on relationships) cause, for sure, some thoughtless actions have gone down.
I personally think there’s a lot more to be said on this front. a wholeeee lot more. A lot that can place fault on one person and a lot that can’t. Again tho, that’s me.
And I think Hon’s love for Flynn is going to require a lot more explaining and backstory. Not that people can’t just love people because they make them happy (which Flynn does) but so much of their relationship is based on the past. And I think we need that (as readers) cause surface wise, a lot of it isn’t clear. I totally get that.
OPINION THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE UNPOPULAR: stoked for Hans and Anna. I shipped them from the movie although yeah I know it's messed up but I'm so excited to see them here now they're so cute??? Only bummed it's technically/generally not allowed - and relationships between students and teachers/staff are disturbing to me too. Also lowkey terrified for the possibility of horrible things being revealed about Hans later that will crash my hopes. But HANNA HANNA HANNA HANNA
HEYYY, I’m down for differing opinions.
I was indifferent to them in the movie but I’m a person who can easily view a lot of ships outside of canon (and with this one it’s def a messed up canon liked you mentioned) and Hanna is def one of those ships.
But yeah, the factuly/student relationship is where I think the true issue is....yeahhh. But I do like their dynamic already, regardless of romantic or platonic.
Frick I hope nothing bad is revealed. Wouldn’t it be amazing if Hans just remained like the first half of the movie throughout the entire comic? YEAH. that would be cool...
