At All Costs (Snowflake Version) - Chris Pine & Idina Menzel

Art I commissioned from Frost_Art on Instagram.

LYRICS UPDATED: 1/13/2025

*DISCLAIMER: These lyrics are fan-made lyrics of a song created and owned by Disney for characters that are owned by both Disney and Dreamworks respectively . No money is being made off of this. This was solely written for recreational purposes.*

Context: This is set during Frozen II, in the middle of the Dark Sea scene. They’ve barely survived the Nokk, and Jack is the most upset he’s ever been. Elsa left him behind not once, but twice. The first when they left Kristoff and Sven behind, and the second when she sent Olaf and Anna away. Not only that, she recklessly runs into the Dark Sea, and that’s not mentioning his fear of water. Coupled with the fear of being sent away, and not feeling like he has a place in Arendelle, he’s really struggling to prove his worth without being selfish.

Love is selflessness, and he has taken that to heart since the events of Frozen 1, where he abandoned Elsa before her parents died, and he did everything in his power to make up for it when she finally sees him again. However, it doesn't always work in the right way. So he’s desperately trying to not be what he perceives to be selfish, for being selfish is what almost lost him his best friend in the first place, and he is deeply afraid of losing his new family. Of losing Elsa.

But somewhere along the way, whether he understands or want to admit it or not, things changed. Jack sees Elsa differently, just as she started to in her late teens, but kept quiet due to what happened and out of respect to her friend, also because she's not sure she understands it either.

They argue in the Dark Sea, telling her he doesn't want to lose her, but right as Jack’s about to say what he actually wants, he relents, saying what he wants doesn’t matter. Elsa doesn’t accept that. Once they get to safety, she tells him what he wants matters to HER.

And he tells her he wants to stay with her forever. That he sees her the way Kristoff does to Anna. But time, fate, what have you, makes it seem like no matter what he does, he can’t. But still, he wants to be with her regardless. Because she is his destiny. And being with her makes him feel better, and whole.

So then he starts singing. And so does she. And for the first time since entering the Enchanted Forest, they're on the same page. Better now than ever before.

Sing = Siiing

-

(VERSE 1)

J: If destiny is a set-in-stone thing,

Mine would be you.

If you'd have told me the feelings you'd bring,

I'd think them untrue.

Yet I never thought I’d meet someone like you.

Not in this life.

You still amaze me after all this time.

(PRE-CHORUS)

You… pull me in like some kind of wind,

Steer me through all the doubts within,

Make me brave enough to tell ya...

…That I…

(CHORUS)

Love you as one does.

I, I would protect you 

At all costs.

Keep you safe here in my arms.

I, I will protect you 

At all costs.

At all costs.

(VERSE 2)

E: How to say… the words that I wish to convey?

That I want this, too. Even if I tried to,

I can’t go back to life before you.

If someone tried to stop this, there’s no

Way I’d let that happen.

I'd fight for us in ways you can't imagine.

I’ve felt this once before, so I hope

It would be alright to stand right here and tell you…

(CHORUS)

B: I love you as one does.

I, I will protect you 

At all costs.

Hold you right here in my heart.

I, I will protect you 

At all costs!

At all costs!

(BRIDGE)

If you're ever feeling like you're lost,

I’ll come find you!

Man all fronts! There's no ocean I won't swim across

To be right by you!

And not just once. Here and now, I swear on my response,

I'll remind you…

(FINAL CHORUS)

I love you as one does.

I, I will protect you 

At all costs!

Face the storm, and all the odds!

I, I will protect you 

At all costs!

At all costs.

(END)

Debated whether or not to do this after posting the Jack Frost This Is The Thanks I Get?!, and finally hearing this for the first time. I got giddy, as this is definitely one of the top songs from the Wish soundtrack, and it struck me as odd that the villain, who in the movie was married, and the protagonist would sing something that sounded... well, romantic.

After seeing Wish for the context of it, and later discovering the Demo Version, learning that it WAS originally written as a love song, well... I had to go back and tweak my original draft.

@doodlemel's Animatic of them singing this song definitely didn't help, either. XD

I had to tweak bits that weren't making sense for Jack to say, especially parts that Magnifico said in the movie that kinda hinted to his more flawed persona. Because Jack is a good guy, but also someone who has never experienced these kinda feelings before, as well as also dealing with a lot of mistakes and trauma that influence his perception of whether or not his feelings are genuine, and whether he has a right to feel these feelings.

Elsa, for her part. is more straightforward, remarkably. Because I headcanon that she fell in love first, but Jack was being Shonen Protagonist oblivious to it. And by the time he started feeling a spark of something similar, stuff had already happened between them that they needed to clear up. But her feelings for him never really went away, even if she got better at hiding them. So when she hears him FINALLY admit that he feels the same way, she doesn't have to hide anymore. She lets him say his piece, and responds in kind.

Ultimately, I didn't really change much but the first parts where they sing, and parts of the choruses. Especially the “love” parts, as I just HAD to incorporate the original Demo Version into it. It's telling a sort of story. Of them slowly synchronizing once more, and finally ending with them being of one mind and heart.

For to love on a spectrum that has both beings as one, in my opinion, is truly a beautiful thing.

hi all

🥲🥲 my account, @therentyoupay, was terminated today while i was eating dinner.

i have contacted tumblr support but reddit says that getting reinstated is really hit or miss. i don’t trust tumblr anymore so i don’t think i will be using it after this, even if they give me my account back. i have no idea what triggered its termination.

all posts from the last eleven years, as well as my fic-only blog (@therentyoupay-fanfiction), my advice blog, my organized fandom event blogs (@evenly-matched and @jelsaweekend), and my main have all been terminated. all the tumblr-only fic, the master posts, the manifestos, mutuals who i had not yet gotten phone numbers for, and fanart—gone.

will i be able to get it reinstated? i don’t know. even if i do, i think it’s a sign that it’s time to move away from tumblr.

it feels weird. i feel okay and also a little bereft. i hadn’t used tumblr for three years at one point but it was always nice to know that i could come back to it.

not sure if there is anything better than tumblr at this point. i think it might be time to just make a website of my own; or just stick to ao3.

i’ll use this account for now as a catchall for anyone who might be trying to find me. otherwise, the surest bet, for now, is ao3 and ao3 only.

thanks all 💕💕

I am now getting close to finishing my first ever Fanfiction story in my life.

Usually I would only write drafts, prompts, or at max 3 chapters and then would forget it.

But now? I am reaching my final chapter on writing a fanfic. Kazumiya (Kazuha x Yoimiya) from Genshin Impact to be exact.

After learning storytelling for 8 years, inspired by a lot of people that I met on this Tumblr, I made it... I made my first ever finished fanfic.

I’d like to thank several people, in Frozen, ROTG, ROTBTD, and Jelsa community for helping me learning every bits of storytelling for the last 8 years. Even though you may forget me, or doesn’t remember me at all, I still know and remember you guys.

Especially to @arialene on her Frostbitten. It’s been so long that I want to make a finish fanfic, inspired by her Frostbitten. And also to Shina Matsuoka, I lost her Tumblr, she once owned @thequeenandherguardian-blog, her work really is a staple for me to make a fanfic at the first place.

I just want to say, that I won’t forget you guys ever. When I’m up there and achieve the aspiration which is to become a film director, just know, that you guys will be on top of my mind that I would like to thank you. Forever.

Brought colors to our lives | My Tribute to @strongyu 

I decided to reupload my old post back from early 2015. I remembered making this specific graphic inspired by the works of Gyu, but I don’t know what makes it looks that way. Maybe the way she use colors in her edits, or the way she empowered us to contribute something to the fandom.

We maybe joined the shipping through different meaning, and different ways. Strongyu’s connection to each one of us is unique.

One thing for sure, she impact us deeply in our heart. Through her works and arts, driven by her passion of the fandom, whether it’s Jelsa or Reylo, draws us closer and connected with each other. Which made Gyu’s legacy, even more colorful.

We never met, we only met through our screen, virtually. But through the same interest and same feelings, she touches us.

This next one I will mostly talk about my friendship with Gyu.

Back in 2014, I was fairly new to the world of GIFs and Graphic. I got through this shipping by scrolling through endless arts and GIFs circulating on this website. Lots of them are special, and one of the art blew my mind straight away, and it was Gyu’s.

Along with others, she is one of the giants of the shipping community, lots of friends and fans loves her art, and I thought there’s no way she would noticed me with my mediocre gifs. 

Yet somehow, in mid-2014 she noticed me and followed me. My mind blew away, it’s like one of the famous person follows you. We talked and straight away I feel connected. And because of her magnificent arts, I thought: “Since she followed me, I have to level up my edit game”.

And since I made some edits throughout 2014-2016, I always cherished every response I’ve got, but when it comes from Gyu, there’s a certain value that makes my heart even more pumped to do more.

We then expanded our connection through other social media, particularly Instagram. We say hi and keep up with each other news for quite some time. To this day, she and @royalefrost​ are the closest friend from Jelsa’s community that I have been keeping up with in the last two years.

She lives in Thailand, I lives in Indonesia. It’s within reach and same timezone but it’s still hundreds kilometers away. But through Instagram, we keep connecting with each other. The way she still supports me through my art on Instagram is heartwarming.

And on our very last conversation, when I’ve just done watching Frozen 2, I joke with the edits of Jelsa from @nobodypunk​ saying that I watch the wrong Frozen 2. Straightaway she responded, and for me it’s like a nod, that we didn’t forget where we came from and how we still loves that ships. Even when we became older, the toxicity surrounding art theft, and how the shipping made us who we are today.

It’s really sad, that she passed away in such a young age. Knowing that she motivated me to do so much more, and to make one of graphic that compliment her art style is one of the tribute that I could give to her, even though I made it 5 years ago.

To see her respond, is always a special feeling. Feelings unlike any other.  It’s noticeable, when I joined the Discord for Jelsa’s community. That Gyu’s brought colors to our lives in unique ways. There’s always different experiences, and different story. 

I apologized for being too self-centric. It’s just, I want to spill it out, the way Gyu’s impact my lives. But I am positive that she influenced your lives as well, and has the same value and meaningful experiences.

We never met, we only met through our screen, virtually. But through the same interest and same feelings, she touches us.

We want to say thank you, deep from within our heart. For bringing colors to our world, for accompanying us in our time, for your lovely personality. And finally, for your passion that makes us connected and makes us feel alive, so that we can see more colors, in our ordinary lives.

We will meet you up there @strongyu!
