Frozen: Salt Ask 23: Unpopular Character you love? Requested by @bettynes.

My favorite character from Frozen is Elsa, no comparison. However, given that this question is about an unpopular character, I’ll be talking about somebody else, since I don’t think that Elsa or Anna are unpopular in the Frozen fandom for obvious reasons.

So the character I will be talking about is the Nokk. This might seem like a strange choice to people, since the Nokk isn’t exactly a human character, but when I saw Frozen 2 in theaters, I fell in love with the Water Spirit. As we all know, the Nokk is the guardian of Ahtohallan and all its secrets. It’s a beautiful, mysterious, yet fierce spirit. However, I feel like when Elsa bonds with the Water horse we see a softer side to it as it grows attached to her.

When Elsa first encountered the Nokk, it was an opposing force, trying to stop her from crossing the Dark Sea and entering Ahtohallan. After a fierce battle, Elsa managed to tame the Nokk and earn it’s respect, creating a deep bond between the two that I love. After the dam was destroyed and Elsa was thawed, the Nokk saved her from drowning and aided Elsa in saving Arendelle. I definitely felt like the Nokk (along with Bruni) had grown attached to Elsa, and would have been sad if she had left the Enchanted Forest.

I feel like a lot of people in the fandom don’t like the Nokk because of the common theory that the Nokk sank Agnar and Iduna’s ship. However, there isn’t much evidence to back up this theory and Olaf concludes that there was nobody on the ship when it passed through the mist. So unless there is any canon evidence that this theory is true, I’m not going to buy it.

As I mentioned above, I love the bond Elsa and the Nokk form after she tames it, and that bond is ever more clearer when the Nokk saves her and then helps Elsa save Arendelle. And of course, at the end of the movie, after Elsa reads Anna’s letter, seeing Nokk rise out of the water and trot excitedly around before (he?) and Elsa both go on their ride. Seeing the Nokk trot around Elsa and neigh like a happy little colt is so cute, and again, speaks well to the bond they share. You can tell that the Nokk trusts Elsa completely, and seeing them ride as one through the forest and across the frozen water is so beautiful.

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you. Learn to know your mutuals and followers ❤

five things that make me happy, in no particular order:

mythic quest. it’s a fantastic show and as every one of my followers probably know by now, i’m quite taken with it.

my nephew ! he’s three and he’s just begun talking really well, and i think there’s few things more precious than hearing him discover the world. he’s extra talkative right now because his mind is extra curious, and i don’t know, i think that’s neat. plus, he’s prone to telling me that he “really likes me” every ten minutes so that’s very good on the ego

good music. i’m obsessed with listening to music, truly. every minute of the day that i can be listening to music, i am, and i just really love music that hits all the right spots. right now for me it’s an endless cycle of the songs nothing new by taylor swift and phoebe bridgers, congratulations by mgmt, then you can tell me goodbye by bettyne swann, and guilty by lady wray.

this interview with danny pudi where he discusses his experience with being from two ethnicities. this interview was the first time i ever really heard anyone talk about what i’ve gone through/struggled with my entire life and that felt nice, because that’s just never happened. what i am has always felt sort of unique to me, and being unique is great, but being unique and seen is even better.

pedro pascal. i love that more than words can explain and just about everything he does brings me happiness.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, fancast

1) Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange / Doctor Strange

2) Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff / The Scarlet Witch (appears as Strange’s travel buddy like how Natasha was Steve’s travel buddy in Winter Soldier)

3) Benedict Wong as Wong

4) Richard Armitage as the human form and voice of Nightmare, a demon that rules the Dream Dimension and the main antagonist of the movie

5) Constance Wu as Clea, Dormammu’s niece (revealed in the mid-credits scene) and Strange’s love interest.

6) Julia Jones as Sara Wolfe, one of Doctor Strange’s new students and Wong’s love interest

*had to edit this line after someone pointed out Sara is Native American. Damn Wikipedia didn’t mention this, sorry about that.

7) Chiwetel Ejiofor as Baron Karl Mordo, a former member of the Sanctum Sanctorum who has gone rogue (his role is minor in this movie, will appear as the main villain of the third movie)

8) Will Poulter as Nightmare’s cousin, the Dweller-in-Darkness (minor role only)

9) Adam Driver as Terrence Ward / Trauma, Nightmare’s son and the secondary antagonist of the movie

10) Andrey Ivchenko appears as Nightmare’s main enforcer and the “boss fight” of the movie (like Lucian from the first Doctor Strange movie)

11) Natalia Dyer as Lorna Dane / Polaris, Wanda’s half-sister who she turns to when she and Stephen need help fighting Nightmare (minor role similar to Falcon’s role in Winter Soldier, mainly here to set up the mutants in the MCU)

12) Aaron Taylor Johnson appears as Pietro Maximoff / Quicksilver, who turns out to be a hallucination created by Nightmare in order to torment Wanda

13) Bella Ramsey as April Strange, Doctor Strange’s deceased sister who appears as a hallucination created by Nightmare in order to torment Stephen

14) Gong Li as Umar, Clea’s mother and Dormammu’s sister (only appears in the mid-credits scene to set up the next movie)

How I pictured the characters’s roles would be in the movie:

So the main group for this movie is Strange, Wong, Wanda, Clea, and Sara. Strange falls for Clea and Wong falls for Sara (think: Far From Home featuring both PeterMJ and BettyNed). Wanda is traveling with the group as sort of a third wheel.

The main villain is Nightmare, with Trauma as his second-in-command. Andrey Ivchenko is their lead enforcer, who is defeated before the climax.

Polaris appears midway into the movie to help Wanda out.

Baron Mordo briefly appears at the start of the movie, battling Strange before disappearing to parts unknown.

Dweller-in-Darkness briefly appears to talk to Nightmare and reveal some exposition.

Pietro Maximoff and April Strange appear as hallucinations created by Nightmare to torment Stephen and Wanda.

The mid-credits scene introduces Umar, reveals Clea’s relation to Dormammu, and sets up a future clash between Strange and Dormammu.

Andreassonin tapaus: tosikertomus neljännen asteen kontaktista

90-luvun alussa tohtori John Mack, Harvardin yliopiston psykiatri, kysyi mitä oikeastaan tapahtuu niillä ihmisillä jotka sanovat joutuneensa avaruusolennon kidnappaamaksi. Skeptinen mutta kiinnostunut Mack haastatteli useita ihmisiä vuosien aikana. Lopulta hän tuli siihen päätelmään, että kyseessä ei ole mielisairaus eikä epärehellisyys, joka on näiden väitteiden takana. Hän sanoi että vaikka hän itse ei koskaan ollutkaan avaruusolentoa nähnyt, kaikkein järkevin vastaus on että ihmisten omat tarinat selittivät tarpeeksi hyvin heidän muistonsa.

Toinen hyvämaineinen UFO-tutkija oli tohtori J. Allen Hynek, astrofyysikko joka kirjoitti johdannon Raymond Fowlerin kirjaan ”The Andreasson Affair”, joka julkaistiin 1979. Hynek otti käyttöön tunnetun sanonnnan ”lähikontakti” kategorisoimaan UFO-havaintoja:

aste: UFO nähdään 250 metrin etäisyydellä

aste: UFO on jättänyt fyysisiä jälkiä

aste: UFOssa on ”liikkuvia olentoja”

Toiset tutkijat ovat lisänneet kategorian lisää, neljännen asteen lähikontaktin, kuvaamaan abduktiokokemuksia.

Fowler on viettänyt suurimman osan ajastaan tutkien UFOja yksityiskohtaisesti sieppauskuvauksista. Hänen kirjansa ”The Allagash Abduction” on pääasiallinen informaatiolähde tunnetusta tapauksesta, joka sattui Eagle Lakella elokuussa 1976. Se kuvaa neljän osallistujan läpikäymien hypnoosisessioiden sisältöä, joilla pyrittiin herättelemään muistoja heidän astumisestaan alukseen, jonka he näkivät leijuvan järven yllä eräänä pimeänä iltana, siitä kuinka heitä tutkittiin ja sitten palautettiin leirialueelle.

“The Andreasson Affair” ottaa saman tulokulman. Se koostuu pääosin hypnoosisessioiden puhtaaksikirjoituksista, joissa Betty Andreasson ja hänen tyttärensä Becky kuvaavat South Ashburnhamin tapahtumia tammikuussa 1967 Massachusettsin osavaltiossa. Tarina on, suoraan sanottuna, outo.

Perhe näkee kirkkaan valon ulkona. Sähköt menevät poikki hetkeksi. Sitten heidän päivätajuntansa muistot sumenevat. Kuumottuneena unenkaltaisen tapauksen omituisista kuvista Betty 10 vuotta myöhemmin kuulee Hynekin tutkimuksesta ja kirjoittaa tälle. Hynek kertoo Fowlerille, ja Betty vakuuttuu ideasta käydä hypnoosiregressiossa. Hypnoosissa hän kertoo tarinan klassisesta sieppaustapauksesta — klassisesta koska, kuten Mack ja muut tiesivät, monissa sieppausraporteissa on samanlaisia kaavoja ja tapahtumia.

Betty kuvaa kuinka hänet johdettiin ulos talosta metrin mittaisten olentojen saattelemana, joilla oli ”harmaa iho ja ylisuuret, päärynän muotoiset päät [sekä] … suuret, kietoutuvat, kissamaiset silmät”. He tyynnyttelivät häntä koko kohtaamisen ajan, veivät hänet alukseen, tunnelien läpi, tutkimushuoneeseen ja täysin muunlaisiin paikkoihin, joissa joillakin paikoilla oli uskonnollisia merkityksiä, ja sitten kotiin- He kertoivat hänelle, että hänet on valittu paljastamaan rakkauden ja henkisyyden hallitsevasta tärkeydestä kertova viesti ihmiskunnalle.

Suurimmalle osalle lukijoista tulee mieleen kysymys: Tapahtuiko tämä oikeasti?

Fowler ei ota kantaa kysymykseen suoraan. Hän pysyy pääosin Bettyn narratiivissa, jonka tapahtumat hän tuntuu ymmärtävän epäsuorasti olevan oikeita. Hän tarjoaa kommentteja ja vertailuja muihin abduktiotapauksiin, ja tässä vuoden 2014 versiossa on lopussa tiivistelmämateriaalia, mihin kuuluu mm. “The Andreasson Affair – Phase Two” (1983) ja “The Andreasson Legacy” (1997).

Miten otat tämän kaiken vastaan riippuu siitä miten hyvin pääset sisään siihen. Jos mielestäsi lähikohtaamisraportit ovat kusetusta tai mielisairautta, silloin et saa irti paljoakaan. Jos kuten John Mack olet kiinnostunut siitä mitä oikeasti tapahtuu, silloin tässä on paljon mietittävää huolimatta siitä uskotko avaruusolentoihin vaiko et.

Saatat jopa päättää pitää tätä kirjaa fiktiona, ja silloin, vaikka se ei hiottua proosaa olekaan, sen tapahtumat kasautuvat levottomalla vaikutuksella.

Ja niiden kasaututessa kysymys jankkaa alitajunnassa: Jos tämä on jollain tapaa totta, mitä helvettiä oikein tapahtuu?

When Adolf Hitler confidante Unity Mitford came to stay – BBC News

Image copyright Alamy

Image caption "Nobody knows exactly what the sexual charge was between Adolf Hitler and Unity Mitford," her biographer David Pryce-Jones says

As one of the high-society sisters who enthralled and scandalised 20th Century England, Unity Mitford's return home from Germany in January 1940 caused an outcry. Fresh from an ill-fated dalliance with Adolf Hitler and with a bullet lodged in her brain, Unity had the government, MI5 and the nation's gossip columnists hot on her heels. So how did she end up living with a family in a quiet Warwickshire vicarage?

The first memory Margaret Laidlaw has of Unity Mitford is of her standing under a chestnut tree in Leamington Spa with Margaret's mother.

Margaret, who was eight years old, remembers the most notorious of the Mitford sisters looked like nobody she had ever seen before.

"She was very tall with a lovely ruby brooch at her neck - she always wore that. She had fair hair. That's my first real memory of her," Margaret said.

"My mother said, 'This is Auntie Unity and she may be coming to stay with us'. I remember feeling confused - I had never heard any mention of an Auntie Unity.'"

A few weeks after that first introduction, Unity was installed as a permanent house guest at the vicarage in Hillmorton, Warwickshire, where Margaret lived with her father the Rev Frederick Sewell-Corby, her mother Bettyne and her younger sister.

Margaret remembers watching bewildered as her father's clothes and books were removed from her parents' bedroom.

Margaret's mother had to sleep in the same room as Unity and nurse her through the night.

"Unity was incontinent - I knew this from the sheets galore that were hung out on the line each morning," Margaret said. "And she had a leg that was paralysed and swung like a log when she walked."

Margaret's father went to sleep in his dressing room and locks and bars went on all the vicarage doors and windows.

"I think Unity was under what you and I would call house arrest," Margaret said. "She was never, ever alone."

But unbeknown to the little girl, "Auntie Unity" was no relative and her reputation was notorious.

She had been discussed in the House of Commons. Her whereabouts was considered to be a matter of national security.

For she was rumoured to be the girlfriend of Adolf Hitler himself.

Unity was one of the six Mitford sisters who were the daughters of Lord Redesdale

"Unity saw her beautiful older sister making waves and wanted to go one better, by picking up Hitler," says Unity's biographer David Pryce-Jones

She discovered where Hitler liked to have lunch with his cronies in Munich and waited there until he asked her to his table. She wrote she considered the Fuhrer "sweet"

Hitler invited Unity to his box at the Berlin Olympics and paid for a flat in Munich for her

Most historians do not believe there was a sexual relationship but Mr Pryce-Jones estimates she met Hitler about 100 times. "Nobody English got so close to Hitler," he said. "She was right in the inner circle of the Nazi leadership"

She had returned to England, after several years in Nazi Germany, following a failed suicide attempt.

When Britain declared war on Germany in September 1939, a distraught Unity went to the Englischer Garten park in Munich (the English Garden) and shot herself in the head.

Upon her return to Britain - with a bullet remaining lodged in her brain - she was vilified as an enemy of the state and the Home Office faced calls to have her interned.

It was finally decided the vicarage in Hillmorton was a safe enough haven for Unity - a place where she could receive the care she needed and live a less troublesome existence.

Lady Redesdale, Unity's mother, was a client of Margaret's mother, a chiropodist, and it was agreed Mrs Sewell-Corby could act as Unity's nurse.

"The vicarage was always open to everyone," Margaret said. "People that were down-and-outs came and asked us for a cup of coffee.

"My mother obviously thought it would be kind to have her. No doubt there was a lot of government correspondence going on.

"I think [my father] found it very, very difficult. He was doing his wartime effort, which was to look after a potentially dangerous person.

"Unity had no money, she had no passport, she had no writing paper. She was allowed absolutely nothing at all. For a while, she wasn't even allowed a library ticket."

Image caption Unbeknown to the young Margaret Laidlaw, her family's new house guest had a notorious reputation

Margaret believes Unity stayed with the family for long periods between 1943 and 1948. The arrangement was largely kept secret.

"We weren't allowed to talk about it to anyone," she said. "It was just completely taboo.

"No doubt my parents were extremely worried and concerned but I had no idea at all about it. I didn't realise she was under lock and key. She was just a visitor."

Some historians have suggested Unity was carrying Hitler's love child - although Margaret insists there is no evidence of this.

"It's absolute rubbish," she said. "I don't believe she was capable of having any children."

Fondness for fish and chips

According to MI5, Unity was "mentally unsound" and "harmless"

However, the Home Office reported complaints from members of the public that Unity was "driving about... picking up airmen". The local police inspector was forced to launch an investigation

Mrs Laidlaw says Unity's presence in the vicarage was probably not popular with locals. "I'm not sure people were happy to have someone so closely connected with the enemy in their midst," she said

But she was, nonetheless, a source of fascination. John Howes, from Rugby, remembers his grandfather Frank telling him about Unity's fondness for chip suppers. "She used to go walking through Hillmorton eating fish and chips. My grandfather was amused by this sight as she was 'a member of the aristocracy'," Mr Howes said

Unity brought with her a dog Lieblich, a dachshund said to have been given to her by Hitler.

The Mitford sister had to be accompanied everywhere. Despite the atmosphere of constant surveillance, Margaret remembers these periods as happy times.

Image caption Unity brought her dog, Lieblich, to the vicarage - he was said to be a present from Hitler

"She was always very cheerful, very jolly," Margaret said. "She was a very good artist. We used to pick ragged robin and dog roses on the country lanes and we would come back and she would show us how to paint them.

"I don't remember being in the room with her for any length of time on our own. Mother was always there, knitting or playing the piano.

"My memory is that Unity liked Bavarian marching songs and would stride around singing. I remember she had a record player and a lot of 78 records. She was a very good singer - a bit loud and very spontaneous."

Margaret now believes she and her sister were protected by their mother and father from some of Unity's more extreme views.

"I'm sure our parents were very careful," she said. "There was great emphasis on the fact that the Jews were as good as anybody else.

"In later life, I was horrified to discover Unity was anti-Semitic. I think my parents did a very good job in keeping that one away from us."

Image copyright Hulton Archive

Image caption Unity tried to kick Margaret when she failed to express regret over the death of Hitler

Margaret clearly remembers the final days of the war in Europe, as word of Hitler's suicide in a bunker in Berlin reached the breakfast tables of Britain.

"My sister said, 'Morning Auntie Unity. I'm so sorry your boyfriend's died' and she said, 'Oh, you are such a sweet child'," Margaret recalls.

"And I said, 'Oh - that man'. And she went for me - she went to kick me and I fled under the dining room table to get out of her reach."

Image copyright Margaret Laidlaw

Image caption Margaret believes her father - pictured here with his family - was doing his bit for the war in looking after Unity

Later that year Margaret was sent to boarding school. She believes Unity continued to live with the family during term-times but in the holidays travelled to the Scottish island of Inch Kenneth, where she lived with Lady Redesdale.

"Latterly Mother went up there to nurse her because Lady Redesdale knew she could trust my mother implicitly not to say anything to anybody," Margaret said.

Image copyright Margaret Laidlaw

Image caption Today Margaret, 82, lives in Dunbar and is an MBE for her service to the children's charity Unicef

Unity died in 1948 in Oban at the age of 33 as a result of meningitis caused by swelling around the bullet lodged in her brain.

"We came home from school and Mother was upstairs in the bathroom crying," Margaret remembered.

"I looked at Daddy and he said, 'Thank God it's all over.'"
