#and yeah I'll get to a little short story bc they're so CUTE like this!!
Text
owarimonogatari ge spoilers. rgu spoilers too i think
himemiya anthy and oshino ougi are both girls who exist for guys
and yeah i hear you thinking what, misogyny ?! toxic masculinity ?! thats not a big part of ougis arc and yeah it isnt and also other gender stuff BUT. the spirit is still there!! and i have to say it in that way first to do anthy's part justice
bc they Are both people who exist solely for others sake. their ability to define their own existences have been taken away from them. they have no agency! anthy obviously but also ougi has never had agency. ougi was created by araragi to do certain things he couldn't do himself, and this was literally the sole purpose of their existence. if ur in that situation what are you gonna do? not do it? and probably like, cease to exist bc the universe's internal coding is a total asshole? you don't have a choice, you just gotta accept the burden.
they're very silly and goofy and sinister and smiley about it of course but like. i'll say it now a lot of those smiles are not happy. i mean you look at the light novels oshino "ppl are so dumb i have to laugh at them but im crying when im laughing" ougi (edgelord ougi confirmed? LOL ok ok not really) oshino 'araragi theorizes her smile was poignant bc she knew how short her life would be' ougi like yeah ok. get a life, literally. lol
(note this is also. for those who have read it. what ougi stay is about. and what my next big thing is going to be about. this is what the significance. anyway)
and anthy does the same thing! all this fucked up shit happens around her and To her and she just watches it all with the same smile like nothing's wrong. the parallels are insane you guys you cant make this shit up. anthy smiling like nothing is wrong during the duels before slowly realizing she doesn't want to be separated from utena is the same as ougi smiling while about to be erased forever even though she doesnt want to die. its parallels!!!!!!
even where ougi's situation gets a little muddied with her being Literally araragi (even though she is still the part of him that he ejected and pushed all this work onto and still just exists for him at first so i wouldnt say this is a point against my analysis here), it still very much applies. and that part of 'being him' can loop back around and extend anthy if you want it to. she does whatever her fiancee wants her to, is molded to and reflects them. a reflection-- is that not, in a very big sense, what ougi is for araragi? you could even say that for anthy, the fiancee of the rose bride's attempted domination of her is a way to dominate the femininity within them, to quell and control it. (if this doesnt make sense my excuse is that i havent finished watching yet. but i think it does make sense, and a lot of it, actually)
theyve both got their Roles to play, and play them they do. anthy, the rose bride, and ougi, the culprit, the bad guy. i think about that 'bad guy' framing a lot too btw. when ougi is talking about her unfazed appearance when faced with Forever Death Via Black Hole, shes like 'don't you hate it when in mystery novels the bad guy is so calm in the face of their comeuppance? yeah that sucks so just letting you know im terrified 👍. gotta wonder what happens when your matter gets erased completely yk. like whats that gotta be like lol.' (not even exaggerating at all really) (also shes so funny she relates everything to mystery novels bc she loves them thats so sweet and real i love that :)) (and then she proceeded to say 'nah i think the culprit should kill themself instead' but i wont get into it)
theyve also both got those cute little interests come to think of it. anthy loves like animals and stuff and ougi loves their mysteries. are these two the Same Character (joking) (but really they should hang out)
theres a line in one of the short stories that summarizes it really well, describing ougi as 'a puppet who had come to life.' and yeah, basically. it's implied to be after the ougi dark resolution so there i have even more ✨textual evidence✨ but like fr. its an incredibly apt description for ougi. if yotsugi is a doll, then ougi is a puppet, who has gained agency (and thats the thing, rgu and monogatari are giving these agency-robbed characters agency, thats what ougi dark did, and im like p sure thats what rgu is going to do i havent finished it lol but i did get sorta spoiled on the ending so i think its gonna. in monogatari... its more rocky i feel. its not cut and dry, its not like whoops you have agency forever completely now. its like you Kinda have it. you Maybe Mostly have it. it's complicated i'm writing about it)... i wonder when yotsugi will get her agency, but part of me wonders if nisioisins plan is that she wont. because she's a doll, she's too stuck, she's fixed to what others need her for, she can't work by herself. she hasn't "come to life" yet like ougi has (being a corpse might do that to you)
anyway uhhhh i'm right good night
#really i think it makes quite a lot of sense#monogatari#owarimonogatari ge#rgu#but you know#maybe i posted nothing#(no i didnt i posted everything. bc its everything to me)#smash that subscribe button and let me know your thoughts in the comments down below#oshino ougi#himemiya anthy#ononoki yotsugi#ougiposting#this is also what i meant by that evil pixie nightmare girl post#for the record. if you even care.#analysis

Ch 45: Unluck Bullet
Very normal romance
Andy shoots his four fingers at Victor as four Unluck Bullets that each have a different effect. The first causes a gas explosion:
And it looks like this attack might work on Victor bc he doesn't understand why it's affecting him instead of Andy, plus he underestimated the attack as just "pieces of flesh." He struggles to figure out what this new gimmick is about.
Victor is looking very Vegeta right now, which makes sense since he's a stock shonen rival. He's both impressed and pissed that Andy has gotten this good, and he's doubly pissed that he hasn't figured out Andy's new trick.
The second Unluck Bullet causes a train to derail, which they both decapitate themselves to avoid, leading to some midair exposition.
"Yeah, that's why I changed."
Andy's such a positive thinker, and he won't let Victor bring him down or try to paint him as foolish for having a "worthless preconception."
Andy knows that being able to change (sorry, Gina!) is more important than being strong.
Both Andy and Anno Un have been talking a lot lately about manifesting desires and ignoring the "rules" of reality.
This is the best! Because of their conversation about death, Andy rewrote his own potential as a fighter. He took what began as a philosophical conversation and applied it to reality.
He's evolved past Victor's way of thinking:
Interestingly, this scene is really similar but not an exact match for the vision Apocalypse showed Fuuko in Ch 35. ⬇️
Victor and Juiz are so adorable in this flashback! Their personalities seem the same as they are now, but they look different. Juiz talked about how "Sex" had been added as a rule, and it seems like Juiz and Victor existed before that rule and so they're genderless/agender in these flashbacks. I wonder how long ago it was!
Without spoiling 150 chapters more of the story, I'll just say the existence of souls will be an important aspect of the story moving forward. But for now, I have some questions:
Is Juiz's soul the same every Loop?
Does this imply an afterlife in UU?
Do UMA have souls? Is that what the core is?
Do Andy and Victor share a soul or not?
For now, because Victor doesn't believe in souls, he couldn't harness the power of souls to help him grow stronger as Andy did.
"It's all a matter of how we perceive the rules." Earlier in the manga, there was a lot of focus on classifying and ranking Negator abilities (External/Internal, Voluntary/Involuntary, Round Table rank, etc.) Now we're learning that true strength is in COMBINING those abilities and redefining the possibilities of what they can do.
It's not terribly different from Scouters in DBZ. The rival shows up and quantifies the hero's abilities, but the hero proves him wrong because he's strong in unmeasurable ways.
And who better to show off this development than Victor, our resident Vegeta!
Vegeta, like Victor, is quick to call things "impossible."
The third Unluck Bullet causes the Union plane to fall out of the sky and land on Victor. This makes sense because they were in the area in Ch 1 when they went after Andy and Fuuko.
Then the fourth bullet hits Victor in the cheek, and a little device rolls out of the plane.
It's the perfect tool for capturing Victor! (Also short-haired Victor is really cute! He kinda looks like Fuuko's soul)
Is Victor finally convinced that Andy and Fuuko can take on God? Has he regained faith in Juiz's plan? Is he gonna stay in the time-out ball? And how will Fuuko get out of the book? Next time on Victor Ball Z!

Ok then now tell me about these sk8 big and little boyfriends? I'm interested by the distinction of big and little, you know? :P
ok after Thee category 5 doubleblack moment and watching tristamp w my brother i'll answer this sk8 ask. then i'll go look at deathnote images saved to my phone to complete the collection of anime i care about
so you will never believe me but sk8. is about. a bunch. of skater boys. we have langa who moves to japan from canada after his dad dies bc his mom's japanese. him and his dad used to do snowboarding together but langa got lowkey depressed after his death and doesn't feel much passion for snowboarding anymore. plus he lives in beachy town now so it'd be impossible anyway
he meets reki there tho. and Oh reki is just like. the sun. they're in class together but didn't really talk (langa doesn't talk much) but they bump into each other while reki's out skating and he gets langa to try it and it just. goes downhill from there
reki takes him to S !!! which is this like super secret skaterz place that opens at night on some mountain where they have races and place bets and stuff. long story short langa finds that Spark he's missed ever since his dad died in reki and skateboarding - as in, yeah sure skating's fun but it's reki that makes his heart beat fast and not the adrenaline or whatever. it's not Skating itself that makes him happy but it's skating With Reki. they're so fucking SWEET. they have a bit of a fight halfway thru the series bc reki has some inferiority complex and langa almost loses the Spark again. it's really sweet. at some point he vaguely talks to his mom abt this fight and she assumes it's about a girl he likes so she asks him. "you LIKE this person don't you" and langa BLUSHES HE'S SO CUTE and says yeah :// so she hypes him up to go talk things out and says. good lird. "show her she's a lucky girl!!" and langa. i am quoting word for word. answers. "what girl." gay people real
and those ^ are the little boyfriends. now the BIG boyfriends ugh !! unsufferable. you got kojiro aka joe and kaoru aka cherry and we meet them at s. in fact they FOUNDED s when they were teens along w adam who's the bad guy in this show and i want him dead. joe is. built like a brickhouse and mildly italian ?? he runs a restaurant during the day and the Gang meets up there a lot he's the sweetest in the world and worries and helps the kids anytime he can i adore him. cherry's gnc af (you're insane) he's pretty as fuck and had a Punk Phase as a kid where he had a couple of piercings and emo bangs and NO ONE has ever looked better EVER but he's Mean but still Cares. when they met adam back in the day him & cherry had a lil somethin somethin going on but he ended up dumping them Both for being boring bc he's insane. i don't wanna talk abt him. so that leaves cherry & joe alone again - which is cool. they've been together since preschool they're the type to bicker and talk shit 24/7 while still always being glued to each other. they're so Horny but they won't fuck. everyone at s wonts them carnally. the kids (by this i mean reki & langa but mostly miya who's like a little shit pro skater they picked up along the way) (shoutout to the icp clown rockstar legend shadow who's the 6th and final member of The Gang) call them mom and dad Frequently and they call the gang "The Kids" an incriminating amount of times (they accidentally adopted two 16yos one 14yo and one 24yo. at age 26)
realizing i don't Know how to explain joe & cherry you kinda just have to witness them. there's this bit where cherry's explaining to The Kids how adam does one of his moves so he skates right up to joe and says "Hello..." in a. weird fucking tone and joe hisses back "You're Too Close!!!" threatheningly like he's gonna fuckin Jump him. there's this other bit during THEE beach episode where joe's flirting w some ladies (he's a manwhore) and miya grabs him pretends that he's his dad and tells him that Mommy's mad !! pointing at cherry who's like napping sexily. and joe actually looks at him and like fuckin whimpers and blushes like a virgin and all he can say for himself is THAT IS NOT YOUR MOM !!!! hello. what was that. also there's the bit where adam fuckin slams his board across cherry's face (?!?!?!?) and joe picks him up like a princess (which he calls him sometimes. princess and pinky and the likes) and gets him to the hospital and THEN cherry sneaks out of the hospital to go to joe's restaurant and falls asleep there and joe looks at him sooo tenderly and says something like "at least we aren't alone right kaoru?" and it's Sweet bc cherry has troubles sleeping but he feels safe enough to sleep around joe..... don't u wanna scream
here look at them. the kids the parents the squad
#ask#if you're don't intend on watching. well u should. it's just One season anyway. but at Least consider looking up some clips on youtube#or smth#cause they're just cute. they make me so happy

Peeks...hi hello, so we can ramble about our crossfandom agendas here? 👁️
If you don't mind me— i have MULTIPLE of them, and would love to share about the multiple brainrots i have about them. heck i even made a whole very self-indulgent casual modern college au for them because i terribly need to shove all these characters in a single room and see what happens
I'll try to keep my first ask short tho, so I'll just drop my agendas and then maybe elaborate on them more in future asks? if that doesn't bother any of you-
(just a heads up, I'll be talking about characters from enstars, genshin and danganronpa!)
So first of all, my main and favorite duo (the one which started the whole college au mess)— my two favorite characters from two games i like, leo tsukinaga and lyney! :]
I have TOO MANY thoughts about them for it to fit here...so i might ramble about them another time. But please think about them for me 👉👈
Next one i am very insane about is the fontaine twins and 2wink because??? I am not the only one to see the multiple parallels between them right??? Especially lyney and hinata??? Both pairs of twins have such a similar past too— grew up on the streets by themselves (fontaine twins because parents died, 2wink because they ran away) and had to perform to earn money to survive
Then there's once again lyney, but with kokichi (danganronpa) this time— it's less i want them to interact, and more like holy fuck why the fuck are they WAY TOO SIMILAR??? they even have the same japanese va....
It all started september 1st 2023, when i was rambling about lyney to my friend who knows nothing about genshin (but was into dr with me), and she pointed their similarity out
And ever since then, i have not been over it at all
(scrolls back up, see: "I'll try to keep my first ask short tho", dies a little inside BECAUSE ITS ALREADY GETTING SO LONG I AM SO SORRY...i am normal i swear (i am not))
OK BEFORE I FINISH I JUST HAVE TWO MORE— do you know the fanganronpa dra? Because I've had a leo and yamato friendship agenda for so long now. I just think they would be the best of friends, because they have a lot of similarities imo? They're also both my faves from their respective medias so,
BUT RECENTLY I'VE ALSO BEEN THINKING OF YAMATO AND FREMINET INTERACTING...because they're both somewhat into machines right? So I'm just thinking...yamato acting like some sort of older brother/senior/mentor figure to freminet? I don't know??? I think it has the potential to be cute and wholesome
OK I THINK THAT'S IT I AM SO SORRY FOR JUST. popping out of nowhere...but finding a blog about crossfandoms just! Made me excited because i am very passionate about my brainrots about it...hope you guys don't mind! Have a nice day :]
OMG OMGGG OMGOGGNAJDHDJKAS
YEAH NO ITS COMPLETELY FINE TO GIVE A LONG RAMBLE!! HONESTLY THIS MADE US SO HAPPY!! DEFO FEEL FREE TO ELABORATE IM SO CURIOUS ABOUT THE COLLEGE AU HELLO???
putting under a cut bc this can get long, but also MINOR warning for genshin main story spoilers + enstars spoilers regarding 2wink specifcially, again its minor but still!
'' my two favorite characters from two games i like, leo tsukinaga and lyney! :] ''
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THOSE TWO AS WELL!!
THEY WOULD BE SO FUNNY AS A DUO, im pretty sure leo would love lyney's shows and even made a song based on them a few times, they would be very inspiring!!
as friends i think lyney is the oddly 'sane' one of the two, usually, in a casual normal day lyney has to put idealistic leo in place, honestly
BUT i also feel like in a way leo can ground lyney, bc that guy is someone who lies a lot, its all for a purpose, even someone's good, sure, he even puts on a happy facade bc thats what everyone likes
but all that has GOT to be exhausting and he's surely been in a place where he's just lying to himself even, saying whatever nonsense with a fake smile. leo might be childish but idk i feel like he tell when someone is at their limit like that, ground him back to the truth but not harshly
ykno?/w??/ ajdhasjkdsah am i making sense?? i sure hope so but i will defo be keeping them in my thoughts thank you
'' Next one i am very insane about is the fontaine twins and 2wink because??? --- Especially lyney and hinata??? ''
YEAH I SEE WHERE YOURE GOING WITH HINATA AND LYNEY HONESTLY
LIKE... IVE BEEN TRYING TO READ UP ON 2WINK LORE, I NEED TO READ THAT ONE ! ERA STORY BUT I HEARD WHAT HAPPENED?? DUDE??? HINATA WAS NOT DOING WELL AND I CAN ONLY HOPE HE'S CURRENTLY FINE
THEY BOTH FEEL SO MUCH RESPONSIBILITY AND GUILT FOR THEIR YOUNGER TWIN :((( HINATA WAS LIKE ALSO ANOTHER PERSON WHO PUT ON A HAPPY HAPPY FACADE, AND WOULD CHANGE WILLINGLY CHANGE HIMSELF AND SACRIFICE JUST FOR YUTA??!?? :((( THEN WITH LYNEY ALWAYS TRYING TO TAKE THE GUILT FOR ANYTHING BAD HAPPENING, TRYING TO HANDLE EVERYTHING HIMSELF FOR HIS TWIN + FREMMY NOW :((
TWINS MAKE ME SAD BRO, THESE FICTIONAL TWINS WANT ME DEAD
trust me lyney and hinata both gush about their younger siblings together, then lynette and yuta at the same time elsewhere are complaining about the trouble their elder got them into over tea hasjdhajksfha
'' Then there's once again lyney, but with kokichi (danganronpa) this time— ''
ahh yeah yeah! i remember seeing like, fanart of lyney and kokichi back when the fontaine vas where announced, but man thats a while ago now... BUT YEAH THEY ARE SIMILAR, LIARS, LIARS, PANTS ON FIRE
irl i hate liars sm but in fiction they scratch my brain so much, theyre so... interesting... give me more...
actually on the topic of same vas, wasnt there someone in genshin who had kiibo's va? i cant recall who tho, maybe it was just a random shitpost...
'' you know the fanganronpa dra? Because I've had a leo and yamato friendship ''
'' BUT RECENTLY I'VE ALSO BEEN THINKING OF YAMATO AND FREMINET INTERACTING... ''
hmmm im only familiar with official danganronpas unfortunately, so im afraid i can't comment much, but still by all means encourage you to tell me more about them!! since i know nothing about yamato, please tell me more about how you think these characters interacting would go? :o
please please please give fremmy more people to look up to and to encourage him, he deserves all of it and all the love and care!! imagining him building robots with someone else makes me ahsdkjashdkjahskdjahsjkhasjk EXPLODES /pos

Hai, I'm
I'll probably end up posting pictures or small story parts/ideas. I'm not good at writing full blown stories which sucks because I love writing. Like a lot. I write all the time.
Anywaysssssssss if you want to use like a lot of my ideas then feel free to, just give a tiny bit of credit. Who knows it might help someone else as well :)
Also! I'll probably be writing both male and female characters, and I'll list names that will be used below.
I won't use all the names. There might be some names I use that won't be listed here.
It'll probably be mostly flower names or nature names because I think they're cute, and I love them, and im really, really bad at y/n types. I apologize if it gets annoying at times. I'll do my best to switch it up constantly. Anyways, the names will be listed below! :))
Oh also they're gonna be different colors bc I made 3 different lists! I couldn't figure out how to do them like side bc side, and also have room so I just made a really long list. I apologize 🙏
Amaryllis, Aster, Celosia, Clover, Dahlia, Daisy, Daphne, Dianella, Diascia, Erica (heather), Heather (erica), Iris, Ixia, Ixora, Jasmine, Kalmia (heath), Lily, Linaria, Lunaria, Magnolia, Nymphea, Orchid, Phlox, Rose, Scilla, Snowdrop, Sun Drop, Tulip, Viola, Violet, Wedelia, Wisteria
Autumn, Basil, Willow, Ivy, Wren, Raven, Holly, Sage, Jade, Rosemary, Dawn, Dove, Finch
Jupiter, Pluto, Ceres, Eris, Mars, Callisto, Eros, Ida, Calypso, Elara, Lysithea, Ersa, Ymir, Fenrir, Kari, Cordelia
Um, anyways! I'm probably gonna write mostly fluff honestly, because I'm not that good with smut. I mean I'll probably attempt it here and there, but I'll definitely have warnings if I write smut!
Also I'll mostly be writing about my favorite bands, favorite shows, favorite movies, favorite kdramas, and just random ideas I get.
I get A LOT of ideas but I can literally never finish a story. I've tried at least 100 times now, I just can't. So I just end up writing short little story ideas or short story parts. Um anyways I hope you enjoy! I hope my grammar isn't too bad and hopefully you like at least something I've written? Maybe? Hopefully?
OH YEAH ALSO, on the smut posts I'll 100% have a 'read more' thing as well as on the long long posts. If they're pretty short then I won't add one. Also this one most likely has one.
Okay hai sorry, that was A LOTTTTTTT but if you made it all the way to the bottom then congratulations! You went through a lot, you really did so uhm here's a little emoji party for you!
🥳🥳🥳🎂🍨🍾🥳🥳🥳
Anyways! I hope you enjoy what I write or at least I hope it gives you some ideas for your writing :))
Have a good day and remember to drink water! <3

Uuh dunno if you would like this prompt : Anna and Elsa as a mythical creatures.
Would love too see what you will write them as ^^
@like-redhead-probably I sat thinking about this ask for a long time, because while I IMMEDIATELY thought of one for Elsa, Anna’s absolutely eluded me. And I know you were probably looking for a story, but I am unable to stop myself from first EXPLAINING my choices xD
I was already thinking about the myth of the Hulder (or huldra if we’re speaking of the creature in general instead of the specific Norwegian myth) for other story-related reasons, and as I did more research, I felt like the Hulder REALLY shared similarities with Elsa.
Generally speaking the huldra is a Scandinavian myth of a pale skinned, blonde or brown haired, attractive young woman who lives in the wilderness, often luring men away with song or dance to be killed or misled, stuck wandering forever. Sometimes she’s connected strongly to water, and instead of making men lost, she drowns them. Sometimes she is described as similar to an elf or fey-like creature, with characteristics related to other Huldufolk (we’ll get to them later) such as living in a parallel world, or a world Underground, and therefore preferring caves or appearing and disappearing suddenly. Sometimes she is depicted as having a hollow back, or a cow’s tail, which she hides out of embarrassment or to conceal her true identity. Which… how cute is that?
Before the 11th century, the myths were focussed more around the Huldufolk, which literally means “Hidden Folk”. There are lots of stories as to why and how the Huldufolk came to exist, but for the purpose of Elsa I think it most appropriate to look at the Christianization of the myths. Why?:
Frozen and Frozen 2 are modern movies made by an American company and Christianity is nigh untanglable with American culture, they take place in ~1840s Norway, F1 has a dedicated place of Christian congregation depicted in said movie, an official royal crowning overseen by a Christian faith leader, and the adaptation of Frozen generally comes from author Hans Christian Anderson and therefore should take his life and society into account, etc.
The Christianized myth says that one day Eve was washing her children (presumably after Cain, Abel, and Seth) in the river, when she heard God approaching. Ashamed that He would see her kids unclean, she hid the half she wasn’t done bathing, and when God asked, “Where are the other children?” Eve claimed that she had all of them present, indicating the clean ones. This gave God pause, but in the end He said, “Then let all that is Hidden, remain Hidden.” The children that Eve lied about became the Huldufolk, unable to live among humans. These people would eventually become characterized as dwarves, elves, fairies, etc., as time and interpretations rolled on, the huldra being just one of many mythical “species”.
So. Who is Elsa? She’s a:
fictional, blonde-haired, blue-eyed, fair-skinned young woman who led thousands of men wlw to wander helplessly into the dark caves and wildlands of social media with a power ballad and a jaw-dropping transformation sequence
Okay I’m joking… mostly…
In fact my interest in choosing the Hulder for Elsa lies purely outside of any romantic or sexual appeal, especially since Elsa as a character exhibits next to 0 romantic or sexual interest across two whole movies and an additional two shorts. Indeed, there’s a reason people headcanon her as either asexual, aromantic, or both! No, the reasons I chose the Hulder are:
Elsa’s name
Her upbringing
Her duty as queen, and
Her general behavior, specifically in regards to Frozen 1, as Frozen 2 Elsa is, at times, an almost completely different character
Elsa’s name was chosen very specifically by the filmmakers because it means “God is my Oath”. Oaths are binding, heavy, and invoke the maker’s or subject’s actions and personhood in the future. In Elsa’s case specifically, it invokes divine witness: perfect for a queen, someone born to rule. A promise to be fair, to uphold, to protect, to lead, to be a dignified and honorable face for the country. And Elsa was so ready to be that… except for the powers of course. Or at least, when they became something other than a magical gift of wonder and joy. When they became dangerous. Then there comes another oath, spoken to powerful creatures of magic, the Trolls, and born from parental fear: “She can learn to control it.”
Binding, heavy, invoking of Elsa’s future. As she grows, Elsa becomes closed off, quiet, hiding in her own home. She still takes her duties seriously, but now that she has been Other’d, taught to hide herself and her curse, she is just as much shadow as person. To young Anna, Elsa must have been almost ghostlike, disappearing right when Anna thought she’d cornered her, only to reappear sometime later down the hall, out of arm’s reach.
God promised Adam and Eve that their children would inherit the earth, even after leaving the Garden of Eden. Then suddenly that changed, due to Eve’s fear and shame of her unwashed children, and some would now inherit Underground, or somewhere else entirely. The lost children of Eve had become Other’d, needing to hide, disappear, and resort to inhuman tactics just to exist. Maybe they’re jealous, maybe they're just tricksters. But it’s not their fault. And it wasn’t Elsa’s either. Another reason they are similar.
Now, it’s not all doom and gloom for the Hulder, or for Elsa. While the Hulder is generally known for her more chaotic and negative attributes - just like our favorite snow queen, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. There are a few myths that say burning a charcoal fire -instead of a coal or gas one- is most pleasing to the Hulder, that she’ll even watch over it during the night, and wake the sleepers in case something happens. If a traveler leaves supplies behind with a note or offering for the Hulder, they will travel safely. In fact, some people leave caches for her, as though to cater to specific requests. Coming across the Hulder by chance can have a multitude of outcomes, but if an astute observer spots her cow tail and mentions it, she may become shy and run away. Don’t mention the empty back though, that’s almost certain death.
Basically my point is… trade out the word “traveler” for the name “Anna” and we can draw all the similarities we want. Anna did all of those things, in a way. Anna gave Elsa a little gift of their favorite snowman every Christmas. Anna knocked on Elsa’s door and spoke to her, treated her kindly despite the distance between them, literal and metaphorical. It’s not hard to imagine that Anna left little notes around the castle, hoping Elsa would find them, read them, and know that Anna still loved her, still missed her. And, well, hopefully Anna wasn’t setting any fires and falling asleep next to them - but Anna always kept a light on for Elsa, in her heart. And it flickered and wavered sometimes, but it was a strong fire most days. And we know Elsa was always drawn to it, drawn to Anna because she loved her right back. Loved her first, even. And because it was a warmth that pleased Elsa, she tended it, quietly, carefully, warmly. Like putting a blanket over an Anna that had fallen asleep in the painting room, refusing that slice of chocolate cake so Anna could have two desserts, and listening, for hours and hours, days and days, for the sound of Anna’s glorious bonfire-like soul outside her bedroom door. Even when her secret was revealed, Elsa believed that the best way to protect Anna’s life, her flame, was to distance herself, running to a secret, special place all her own - much like the Hulder might run away back to the Underground.
And this last part’s just me, but I’d like to think that if the Hulder was treated kindly, respected, and given dignity, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if someone came across her accidentally. That instead of being instantly drowned, or the Hulder becoming sheepish and attempting to run, it would feel recognized. It could be called by name. And instead of feeling the need to hide it’s Otherness, it could be treated as part of it, and cared for just the same. I don’t even need to be subtle here: Anna called Elsa by Name, really saw her, and reframed her darkness into light. Anna hasn’t fought God yet, but she did walk through hell and back for a sister that everyone else saw as a threat, monster, and sorcerer. A category 9 Other. Too bad for them, Anna’s got a Category 10 heart.
Speaking of. We finally got to Anna.
Anna was difficult to pin down because to me, Anna is so very, very human. That’s what makes her special! Yes, yes, you could throw any mythical creature at Anna and the fun part would be trying to make it work within her personality and characterization BUT since the question was Anna AS a mythical creature, that changes the game! The word ‘creature’ itself tends to conjure something distinctly INhuman. So I…. tried, and cheated maybe a little. Because I picked for Anna the Norse Valkyrie.
Most people know what Valkyries are so this one takes significantly less explaining. Valkyries are women that are warriors, shieldmaidens, and the hands of Odin, and they choose who lives and who dies during battle. Their chosen dead ride with them to Valhalla, while those they choose to live are usually granted honors in life. There are the darker sides of Valkyries that paint them as blood hungry maidens waiting on the sidelines before a war, singing the names of who will die with glee… but generally speaking the version of Valkyries that most people know and admire today are accurate! And thank goodness because attempting to depict Anna the other way would probably give me an ulcer.
Anna, much like the Valkyries, is a woman of valor and strength, who is perceptive, guides others, sees into people’s hearts and reveals their goodness. Valkyries are also warriors of prowess themselves, and Anna in Frozen 2 with that ice sword? We all know she was ready to use that for real. She also exemplifies traits that Valkyries both look for and have! Bravery in the face of danger: hello Marshmallow, Elsa’s own blizzard, Hans’ lethal sword strike, LIVING MOUNTAINS, and a damn collapsing.... dam. She also defends those who cannot do it themselves: saying publicly that, “My sister is not a monster… she was scared, she didn’t mean any of this,” even if that cast suspicion or doubt on herself, and the crown, as a whole. Anna knew and believed in Elsa, despite all the years and heartbreak and anger. Despite the impossible magic that literally just happened before her very eyes. Belief in character, despite appearances. And once they were reunited, Anna made every effort to stay by Elsa’s side because she STILL had that faith in her. Anna’s name means “Grace” or “of Grace”, and damn if she didn’t extend that to the person others found most unworthy, even to Elsa herself. Valkyries see what others don’t, and their decisions are final.
[Deep breath] SO! You asked for Anna and Elsa as mythical creatures. You got… a small academic paper, by social media standards xD. I intend to write a little piece about a Valkyrie who encounters the Hulder on the edges of a battlefield and… realizes she never made a choice about this particular woman. And wonders why she can’t ;). BUT I didn’t wanna leave you hanging any longer. Hope you like my choices!
Oh also, nobody asked, but Kristoff is a werebear. No research required
#there's almost 2k words to this uhhh..... eyup that's all I have to say about that#the inner academic kinda popped out#begging to be utilized after a few dusty years xD#I have links to all this stuff btw if people want them#but now I should REALLY go to bed#or I'll be slowly flame-broiled by a certain someone who is about to find out I'm awake in the worst way possible#like-redhead-probably#mythical creature au#Hulder!Elsa#Valkyrie!Anna#mythology#also yes I know I didn't stray far from Scandinavian territories for the mythical choices I couldn't help it#once I got digging into the huldra I had a hard time looking anywhere else#still I think Valkyrie fits so nicely for anna#she might as well be on irl tbh#Elsa#Anna#my writing#and yeah I'll get to a little short story bc they're so CUTE like this!!

Yeah, well, I thought about it and decided that now I'm going to combine the characters in some way why not.
I hope I don't get eaten up for these designs, I will of course explain why and how, but don't beat me up anyway.
I didn't give Zane and Pix their battle suits because they wear them probably twice in the whole story, but I have them if you want them.
So, here we go:
Zane — I gave him the ponytail just for fun, like "hmmm that looks good though". And yes, look how good he looks in yellow. He has done nothing useful for the plot so far, but tried to make up with Echo, but made the situation worse lmao.
Pixal — I gave her a dress and a leather jacket together because I wanted to show in her design both elegance and brutality at the same time. Also a "background" so to speak, but she has a longer storyline than her husband. And yes, Pix and Zane are married.
Kerry — magician, trap, a broadcaster, and just a nasty person. I won't say much about her, I'll just say that all the pins on the other characters are from her. Echo's sidekick, as well as (unsurprisingly) his sister. It's a long story there, Julien has four children, if not more.
Echo — I'll go over the design and then the story. A lot of the parts that fell off of him were replaced with new ones, which might explain the different color eye and the white strands. Has potential head p r o b l e m s and bonks everyone with a stick. Also, he somehow died and then resurrected. He's a master of plants there, btw.
Vincent (read as Mr. E) — GOD DON'T EAT ME. Anyway, yeah, questionable headcanon on appearance, but I was fine with it, and I gave him glasses on the same principle as Zane's ponytail. Yep, he's not dead. Of course he died in season 9, but they rebuilt him. Don't look at the cute face - he'll wipe you out if you look at him the wrong way. Btw he owns a little restaurant where Lloyd works.
Kat — just a random florist, and she's also a doctor by education. Unlike everyone else, she is not related to anyone else in this reference. Vincent's childhood friend, yeah. Secretly in love with Echo, but shhhhh, he's had enough of relationships in this life.
Tyler, or as Kerry also called him, "pink mf," is another Julien's child who came from nowhere. According to her, he was in the war with Kerry, but nobody don't really believe him. Only knows Echo so far, they don't want to see Zane, and they're afraid of Kerry 🤨
Goldie — Pixal's little sister, who is a bit uhhh... Crazy. She was commissioned by Zane, who wanted a normal partner for Echo (yes, he has a partner, someone whose name begins with "V"), but alas, Goldie got a little fucked up and ended up trying to kill herself, Vincent, and Echo, whom she couldn't reach, bcs he was taken on an expedition thousands of miles from the capital. In short, of the three planned, she was the only one to die. Well, nothing new.
There are five more nindroids in the story that I didn't draw because I don't know where to put them in the story.

oooh what is the plot about 👀 have only gathered that it'll be dark... and sad... with evil characters LOOL. and yes i love ur ateez smau 🥺 i sometimes find it hard to get into smaus in general but the mystery has me hooked for that one <3 oh yeah speaking of ateez, thoughts on the world tour? i'm still holding onto my 2020 tickets rn but likeeee the thought of being in such a large crowd still sounds risky to me 😭

ahh the multi life :') how do you decide which group/member to write for?? it's hard enough choosing amongst even just one group LOL
omg i heard one of the members say that they're gonna do one of the rtk/kingdom performances at the fancon??? i'm still hoping for drink it at least once... somewhere :') and yeahh i thought the mv would be a whole storyline like golcha's mvs these days but it's nice that we got to see some acting!!
but yeahHH maverick era ended so fast </3 do you ever feel like the promo periods are too short though? i remember back in the day everyone would promote on music shows for at least a month, but i guess they're preparing end of year stuff already :')

pls why did tumblr put the pic in such a weird place lol 😭 i was seriously laughing so hard he was really holding it for dear life
omg yes i have !! i love alice in borderland ! i wish it got the same hype as squid game is bc it's so good !! and the games omg 😨 seriously was on the edge of my seat the whole show ! like the bus one was insane :O i hated how they left it on a cliffhanger but i saw its getting renewed for s2 :D i was really obsessed w it when i first watched, i looked up all of the character profiles and how it differed from the manga + future games and the ending but i still have so many unanswered questions 👀
i love psychological thrillers and shows like those ! wbu???
haha yes 😭 txt really made a whole short film lol
yes 😭 i saw those comparisons and how ppl were bringing up what sunwoo said abt the character comparisons to the members and im ready for PAIN 🥲
cinematic mvs >>>>
drink it halloween dance practice would have been spectacular :")
i don't really collect pcs ,,, idk i just get the ones that come w the albums and put them in a lil card organizer lol but i've never traded or bought any wo an album
omg no 😭😭😭 i hate when things sell out so quickly
haha we love that ! they're all so lovable tbh, it's hard to chose a bias 🥺
yeah ! i am a sunwoo enjoyer :D & my bias wrecker has gotta be eric 🙃 he is constantly coming for my throat..heh when did u start stanning?
THE HIGHLIGHT MEDLEY 😭😭😭 WAS SO GOOD ! as soon as the announcer thing came on i was so happy, they're really going all out ! haha omg 😂 maverick is definitely an intense lil song but i feel like i alr love it ! yes the songs all sound so nice n spicy i'm so ready
LMAOOO tumblr putting the pic there makes it even funnier :') died laughing ngl. and ikr borderland was so good, though i feel like it was a little too scary for it to have the hype factor? oh i totally forgot about the bus one until you mentioned it!! yeah that was so intense... omg also the one with the hanging electric pole things with rising water?? oooh i'll have to check out the manga but yeah hopefully s2 gives us all the answers (unless netflix chooses to drag it out... knowing them, that might happen 😭). and YES!! i also love psychological thrillers!!!! not so much straight up horror, but i love suspense and mind games 😍 do you have any faves or recs?
we're all ready for pain :') and at the same time tbz be playing red light green light in such a cute and funny way in their mcountdown teaser?? they're gonna give us whiplash from this :')))
ohh i see, yeah i heard that sunwoo was one of the umm expensive/sold out pc members LOL but i hope you pull him if you do decide to get the album!!!
maknae line!! eric has been... very bold lately so i hope u survive this comeback hehe. i started stanning towards the end of last year!! i was eyeing them during stealer era but their MAMA 2020 performance convinced me 😍 wbu!! and who are ur biases from the other groups you stan?
yeah omg the chanting in maverick is kinda catchy!! i can see myself looping it until i'm numb 🤡 ALSO MV TEASER??? THOUGHTS? i thought the other one counted as mv teaser already so definitely didn't expect this one, but hopefully it's a sign that we're getting like a full on story and plot and everything 🤩
