Beautiful little things in life that we take for granted 💕

🌸 Having a cold drink of water when you're thirsty

🌸 Taking a breath of cool, fresh air

🌸 The sound of a robin's morning song

🌸 Being noticed/thought of by another human

🌸 Making someone smile

🌸 When a baby or small child smiles at you

🌸 When a dog is excited to greet you

🌸 Taking a bite of your favourite food

🌸 Putting on clean clothes after a shower

🌸 Reaching a goal

🌸 Seeing your favourite person smile

🌸 Belly laughing

🌸 Realising and fully knowing that you're loved

🌸 Hugging someone you've been longing for

🌸 Succeeding, and watching others succeed

🌸 Waking up in a perfect, comfortable position

🌸 Watching a sunset or sunrise

🌸 Finally hitting that bird in Solitude

🌸 Watching someone perform an act of kindness

🌸 A favourite character that brings you sheer joy

🌸 Cuddling with someone you adore

🌸 Dancing like nobody's watching

🌸 Feeling proud of yourself

🌸 Receiving love from your friends

🌸 That brief moment of sheer content when you hear your favourite part of your favourite song

"Sorry to be “controversial” but Elsa was the villain. In both movies."

How she was in the second?

she was in both movies. her behaviour, her actions - it drove the plot in a negative way. every body that suffered, suffered because of her. her motive was selfish and senseless.

there is more forgiveness and understanding for her in the first movie, sure. she didn't know any better and was a victim herself. but in the second, she knew better and still chose to act poorly.

i've seen her behaviour in real-life cases of domestic abuse and incestual violence. people that defend her are very scary.

and yes, it is a movie, and no, it isn't that deep. but she's definitely not a character i'd want my children to watch and learn from.

Frozen III thoughts?

not interested. the second was awful imo

[the-blue-fairie]

No, Frozen would not have been better if Elsa was the antagonist.

Whenever someone (like a video essayist on Youtube) says something like, "The first Frozen would have been better if Elsa were the antagonist. It was the original plan and it would have made for a better film," I just have to roll my eyes. No. You're wrong.

"But Hans's whole personality changes." No. The mask drops. There are enough instances that show his true motives - "looking my whole life to find my own place", glancing up at the chandelier and finding a way to kill Elsa while still making himself look sympathetic to her so that he remains in Anna's good graces, etc. He may not be the greatest of the Disney twist villain trend, but he works well enough and fits perfectly into Anna's arc by playing on her insecurities.

"But Elsa is so mean." No. She's not. She's been trained since childhood that she has to "limit her contact with people." The trolls and her parents reinforce to her that she has to keep her powers secret from everyone, including Anna. Are you really going to blame someone who has been conditioned since the age of eight to stifle herself for stifling herself? @hb-pickle who tragically no longer seems to be in the fandom once called this "the adult-ification of Elsa," wherein people place the blame for the separation solely on Elsa's shoulders without factoring in the trauma of the accident and the way Elsa was raised for YEARS afterwards. You're going to be more than a little fucked up after that, and Elsa has been trained that cutting ties with others and keeping her powers secret are the best option.

"But Let it Go is so angry." So fucking what? LET her be angry. She's ALLOWED to be angry. She's been forced to hold in her emotions and "conceal, don't feel" for years. She's allowed to be frustrated with her lot in life. I've said this in the past but I like the way I said it so I'll quote myself directly:

"Aspects of it still feel like a song designed for us to condemn Elsa, but instead of judgment, we get empathy.

And that’s radical."

TLDR: Elsa being the antagonist wouldn't have made for a better movie. It would skew too close to the "sinister witch" trope even if she was portrayed as a sympathetic antagonist. Sympathetic antagonists are a dime a dozen. But Elsa being caught up in this flawed system of thinking because she's been trained for years that it's for the best if she stifles herself and then having her arc be about self-acceptance and unlearning that self-hatred? That's revelatory.

Frozen is good and Let it Go is a good song, you guys are just mean.

[the-blue-fairie]

I'm begging you you to take a step back, breathe in, and consider the hyperbole of your statement, and then consider your own personal biases that lead to that hyperbole.

Also

villain, n. : Oxford English Dictionary

The OED is the definitive record of the English language, featuring 600,000 words, 3 million quotations, and over 1,000 years of English.

of the definitions in the OED, d is closest to the context you are using and...

 d. (Usually with the.) The character in a play, novel, etc., whose evil motives or actions form an important element in the plot. Also transferred, esp. in villain of the piece.

…even in that context, Elsa is not written as the villain of either film. Whatever your issues with her choices and decisions, she is not written as such - particularly not in the first film, but also not in the second.

Step back and consider the surprising intensity of your antipathy towards a fictional character and chill.

[verannaca]

“and chill” you say, at the end of an unnecessary essay lol.

i stand by my statement.

Anna: Yield or die.

Kristoff: Just, take it down to like...a seven.

Anna: Yield or else.

Elsa: You’re standing on thin ice.

Anna: I’m standing on the floor.

Elsa: It’s an expression.

Anna: It’s a carpet.

guess it’s been, what... eight years now? wild.

[verannaca]

just a progression of how i feel at work when a customer orders something, i repeat it back to them, they correct me to what i originally said, i repeat it again, they correct me again, it goes on for three minutes during rush-hour......then they change their mind in the end to order something we’re sold out of and then yell at me for being sold out (:
