It's so maddening
I just don't believe that Disney wants to please its fans anymore, I honestly don't.
I can't see why they'd not want to take up an interesting and compelling storyline (that links links nicely to the first story, so no struggles trying to connect anything there cough cough F2) that would be A; a breath of fresh air from the stuff they've been making (cheap remakes and flops) and would please a significant portion of people who watched the original. We are some of the loyalist Frozen fans, we have our own stable section of the fandom, and there isn't a good reason why not to take the leap as far as Disney is concerned. They don't even have to dive straight into Helsa but if they just allow Hans to be seen in a sympathetic/understanding/redeemable light, that would be something.
I really think that Disney's response to Hans and the treatment they've given him post Frozen (giant snowball, Elsa crumbling his ice statue, the charades game) is very of this age. There are Disney villains of the past (Maleficent and Cruella got sob stories and 'rebranding', which I at least think was an odd stance to take on a spiteful witch and a literal puppy-murderer. Then that villain doll in TS4 got redeemed only minutes after trying to leave Woody voiceless and stuck in the antique shop, because we were super invested in that doll's eventual undeserved happy ending amirite) who have been treated with less derision and contempt than Hans, and I think it's in part because those villains were regarded as long enough ago that you can do what you want with them now (their evilness is regarded as "lessened"), and also that I think Disney is kinder to its female villains (that they must have some background trauma as to why they act the way they do, they can't just be evil) and finally that while Frozen is obviously magical and fantastical in most of its elements, it seems to try and attempt a 'realistic' approach to the interactions of the characters. I don't like this, it's inconsistent and an example of lazy writing - "Hans is bad just because he's bad", the writers don't even attempt to add any extra layers or facets to his character.
I feel like Hans is treated with a special vindictiveness and I think that is unfair and I don't understand why it seems okay to do this.
I desperately hope that someday (Frozen 3) our hopes will be realised by Disney and we can see Helsa (or even hints at Helsa, I'd settle for that) become canon, but honestly I am extremely doubtful. I suspect I know how F3 will play out and I'm already apprehensive.

DANCE WITH ME YOU LI-IA-IAR ♡
OVERBLOT ASHI??? ANYBODY??? the ANGST that this baby can store!!! SHEESH!!!!!!! <3 I only have one post dedicated to her and liar dance lyric analysis (the post is kinda outdated in gen) BUT…… I also have an overblot monologue as a treat 🫶 I wanted to better explain her angst and so!!! BABAM!!! enjoy
ASHI’S MONOLOGUE:
Sometimes I wonder why I ended up here.
A place named “Twisted Wonderland”, and at a school named “Night Raven College”.
At first, I figured that I was the odd one out— Y’know, the Ramshackle prefect and everything. The magicless girl at the magical all boys school? Nuts, ain’t it?
I’m known for a lot of things. Things that are different from the others. The fact that I stand out is part of the Ashi charm, something I’m known for.
But… Over time I found myself sorta feeling in place here.
Because as much as I try to believe it, I can’t safely say that I’m better than anyone else here.
I’m a fake. I make conversation and lots of friends, but for what? A backup in case something goes wrong? A sense of protection for my reputation? In what case are any of those friendships something I truly want? In what case are any of these strings more than just a tool instead of a thread made of my real feelings?
Behind this, I’m no different from any other student here. Even through my individuality, my cheerfulness, my endearing oddness… I’m still a horrible person. Using people to get what I want, toying with people and their feelings in order to gain power and gain a spot the top. All to become untouchable. It’s screwed. It’s not right.
My insides are ugly. The truth of me is something I want to keep tucked away deeply, because I don’t want people to see this part of me. A brash, annoying, selfish version of me, everything people hate to see. I don’t want this side of me to be seen because people will run away— people I don’t care much about, sures, but people I love, too. I don’t want to drive them away. So I keep quiet and give them a shallow show.
I give them a source of entertainment that’s controlled by the real me, every calculated movement translating into a marionette-like response. The only show I allow you to see is one that’s so carefully crafted by the chaotic clown backstage. The one that is shunned away from the light, the strings being the only hint of the puppet’s phony existence to the foolish audience.
But suddenly, I feel as if being here has started to let this side of me come crawling back into the spotlight.
It scares me.
It scares me to be vulnerable, let all of my faults lay out on the table like playing cards. To take the risk without the protection, to gamble everything I’ve built up away just like that. But you…
You.
You make me feel safe. You make me feel as if I don’t need to hide anything. I can give you the key to my heart and you would have no malicious intent. You wouldn’t cut out the parts people don’t like. You would enjoy the performance in full, every bit of it.
You make me believe that I’m nothing special, and yet something so valuable at the same time.
It’s silly. You’re silly. And yet that’s something that’s helped me.
It’s helped me realize that that truly is just how people are.
We aren’t villains. We aren’t antagonists. We aren’t monsters.
We are nothing but people, with faults and feelings that should be valued.
I am more than just a jester, a sake of entertainment.
I’m a person who is entirely worthy of love. All of me.
It reminds me that I must’ve came here for a reason.
Because this is where I belong.

So... New pfp and some news, I have literally fallen in love with yet another fictional man, and this one happens to be the Grim Reaper.
Fans of A Date with Death, I welcome you with open arms and my requests for fics are open lmao
Also! I thought it would be about time that I opened requests again, so to give myself motivation, I'm deciding to do a request event. since Christmas is gonna be a thing in like 3 weeks or so, its time for Christmas fic requests! and also another reset, since my inbox is full of old requests I have no ideas or motivation for- but anyways, as always, if you are a previous requester, you may request your... request a second time if it is something you'd really like done. This time, I swear on my life your requests will be done at some point, if I don't do your request at all you can send a firing squad at me /j (Or remind me via asks)
This event is open for Genshin Impact, Twisted Wonderland, and A Date with Death. I would add Obey Me but I'm not really in the fandom anymore.

Walking in Heels
⋆﹥━━━━━━━🎧━━━━━━━﹤⋆
“Alright, good day to everyone in Twisted Wonderland! I’m Yuu, Ramshackle Dorm’s Prefect and this broadcast’s host. It is currently…6:07, it would seem like we started the program a bit early today.” Yuu spoke into the mic, as upbeat music played in the background.
They looked over their shoulder to see Ace, Deuce, and Epel sitting behind them(Grim is on Yuu’s lap), all of them smiling encouragingly at their friend.
Yuu’s nervousness was reduced, even if it was just but a fraction, they’re still thankful for their friends’ support.
“As you may know, I’m here to give some advice to anyone who needs it; free of charge, of course! Unlike a certain merman I know.” Yuu muttered the last part, causing snorts and short laughs to be heard farther away from the mic.
“Anyways! It seems like quite a lot of you are already sending in e-mails, but we promise we’ll get to all of you later,” they scrolled through the monitor beside their mic. Yuu looked at the time.
06:09:27
“Our first phone call from you listeners will be coming in a few seconds. I’d bet we’ll be bombarded by calls when the clock strikes 6:10,” a light chuckled vibrated through Yuu’s throat.
“For the mean time, here’s some tea from NRC this week; the science club’s laboratory almost blew up this Thursday, they suspect it was because of the poisonous mushroom they found after the incident was resolved. How the mushroom got into the science club, let alone in a potion, is now something students are coming up with theories with. Most of these theories include a certain nature loving 3rd year.” Yuu told the listeners.
“Bet it was Jade-senpai.” Ace whispered in the background.
“Who else would it be?” Epel whispered back.
“But I don’t think anyone would have the bravery to go up to him and just ask.” Deuce shivered, remembering Jade’s terrifying smiled when he worked at Mostro Lounge after signing a contract.
“Oh, and per request of our dear,” Yuu’s eye twitched.
“Headmage, we urge you to ignore any news of an ancient magic chandelier breaking inside school grounds; we would like to confirm that anything of that sort has ever happened at NRC.” Yuu added.
“Oh, would you look at that! It’s 6:10AM, I’ll be answering phone calls now,” Yuu picked up their phone and turned it on, as the screen lit up they opened their contacts to see their number.
“You know the drill people: which ever call comes in first will be answered, if your signal isn’t all that good, we’ll be sure to get back to you after.” Yuu said.
“Now, here’s my number: 1989-9489” Yuu read out loud.
(This is a fake number; please don’t call)
After a mere few seconds, Yuu’s phone rang.
“Well that was quick,” Yuu said, immediately pressing ‘answer’ and putting the phone on speaker.
“Uhm…hello?” A timid voice said.
“Hello! This is Yuu from Unique Magic: Listen Up, what do you need advice for?” Yuu greeted.
“I…uhm- hello, I’m Altaire, and I like to cross dress for fun, but I find myself struggling to walk in heels, I just can’t seem to balance myself.” Altaire said.
“Ooooo~ cross dressing? As Pomefiore residents would say; Slay.” Yuu giggled.
“But in my personal experience, balance usually isn’t the problem in wearing heels, it’s the discomfort that makes balancing harder than it really is.” Yuu explained.
“So, to avoid discomfort, and misbalancing by extension, you should walk heel-first. Don’t put all the pressure on your toes and the balls of your feet.” Yuu said to Altaire.
“Will this work on 7-inch platform heels too?” Altaire asked.
“Damn, your wardrobe sounds more extravagant than mine,” Yuu laughed.
“But, usually with platform heels, they have platforms for your whole feet, not just your heel. So, usually platform heels wouldn’t feel like how tall they actually are, because the platform would usually be the height of half the heel itself. Not to mention most of the platform heels made for wearing are padded for comfort.” Yuu answered.
“Ohhhh, I see.” Altaire said, their smile bleeding into their words.
“Glad to be of service. Is that all?” Yuu asked.
“Yes, that’s all, thank you and goodbye!” Altaire said before hanging up.
⋆﹥━━━━━━━🎧━━━━━━━﹤⋆
Our fairytale has come to an end.
