30-something, he/him. I think too much about Frozen. Analyst, mapmaker, infrastructure engineer. Arendelle-content and trips down memory lane! Banner: photo of Nærøyfjord by me!

Ownership meant a physical copy. Now you own nothing and can't find what you want across multiple streaming platforms.

Bring back headphones that plug in. Bring back expandable memory. Bring back owning media.

[frozenbassist]

Luckily enough, I happen to be one of those keeping physical media alive since I've built my own PCs since 2013 and put in modern Blu-ray drives.

I also regularly buy my favorite TV shows on Blu-ray (I've recently been on a Star Trek streak lol)

Proud 90s kid with plenty of physical media and a modern phone with a headphone jack.

About Kristoff being of Northuldra descent

We know that Kristoff and the Northuldras was inspired by the Saami, but after Frozen 2 placing Anna and Elsa as the descendants I left this aside, however, today I found a connection in the films!

Until then, only the Northuldras seemed to know about the Fifth Spirit, but there is another group that knows about Elsa's power and how it works, the ice collectors!

In the opening song of Frozen they talk about her, and I know this was just a resource used and aimed at us, but when we go back to the world of Frozen it's interesting for them to know.

Despite this, I don't think they stayed out of the forest the day it was sealed, but rather that it was a group that went to Arendelle much earlier and their legends ended up being diluted over time.

Am I traveling too much?

[virtual-winter]

This aligns perfectly with my headcanon about Kristoff and the ice harvesters in Arendelle being a different branch of the Northuldra people. I like calling them the Southuldra as a reference to them both having one common ancestor: the "Uldra" people. You can actually find Northuldra spelled out as "North uldra" on the back of a book that is part of the scenery at Frozen Kingdom in Tokyo, indicating to me they are merely the northern branch. And since Northuldra is a name given to them by outsiders, it seems like a rational way to distinguish them from their southern relatives living in Arendelle.

As shown in the novel Dangerous secrets (ch. 22), the ice harvesters clothes are apparently so similar to those of the Northuldra that Iduna mistakes an ice harvester woman for her own people.

This passage also reveals a lot of other interesting stuff: the ice harvesters are nomads just like the Northuldra and sing the same kind of songs. I also find the line about the Northuldra having "expanded quite a bit before the day of the dam" interesting as it could mean there had been Northuldra living outside of the mist for over 30 years by the time of the movies.

Outside the movies and novels, a few comic books show that other members of Kristoff's people appear to be limited to only two lines of profession: ice harvesting and reindeer herding, possibly indicating they are only allowed to have these jobs and that they possibly belong to a different class than other Arendelle citizens.

There is an interesting comic called This land is our land that brings up a conflict between reindeer herders and muskox farmers and I've always seen it as a parallel to real-life conflicts of interest between the Sámi and Scandinavian settlers. In the end though, both groups are convinced they are dependent on each other.

One reindeer herder named Yan reappears in the comic Reindeer games.

Also about magic, I've always found it interesting Kristoff wasn't the slightest bit surprised about Anna's question about seeing magic on the North Mountain and I do fancy the idea that his people has a deeper connection with folklore and mythology and treat magic as something more "everyday" compared to the average Arendellian (although that could of course be unique to him as he grew up with trolls).

I really hope Frozen III will explore Kristoff's family and that we'll learn something about his people.

Frozen 3 was presented during the National Film Promotion Conference in Xiamen, China

It is a major film industry event in China where movie studios, distributors, cinema chains, and filmmakers promote upcoming films, share trailers, announce release plans, and build business partnerships. It is more of an industry and trade event than a public film festival. Disney, Warner Bros., Universal, and other major studios often present their future movie lineups there.

Anddd, Frozen 3 was presented there too!

My friend got the picture below from a friend who wishes to stay anonymous.

They said that during the event, they told everyone to “stay tuned!”, but sadly nothing else was revealed.

If you’d like to know more about this event, you can refer to this website (you may need to use a translator if you don’t understand Chinese)

Cracky Crossover Jumpscare ☃️

Redrawn after a 12 year time gap

The original was drawn with the intention of having ALL FNAF 2 animatronics drawn, but like most pieces, it’s forever in WIP limbo.

If for whatever reason you’d be interested in seeing more of this crossover, I’ve made a custom guard mod for Five Nights at Frickbear’s 3 called “Frozen Pizza” where you get to play as Elsa. You can find the link for it with the redraw image.

(Anna guard still in the works but it’ll be a thing too eventually, trust)

Does any of this make sense? Probably not.

[virtual-winter]

Makes a lot of sense when you factor in that Elizabeth Lail played both Anna in OUAT and Vanessa in the FNAF movies😯
