So how do we all feel about Frozen on its 10th anniversary? Does it still hold up for you all?

Frozen Through the Years

Yearly Spotlight: 2013 (Part 2)

Written by @toriofthetrees

The world's first exposure to Frozen from the teaser trailer gave almost no indication of what the plot of the movie was actually about. Hans Christian Andersen's “The Snow Queen" is an episodic journey of a young girl trying to save her friend from the powerful, but lonely Snow Queen. Frozen had whispers of that... but it turned out to be a very different story.

The film, instead, revolved around the of-age heroine, Princess Anna of Arendelle, and her journey alongside an unlikely group of allies to save her kingdom from the wintry magic of her sister, Queen Elsa. Anna does this by lovingly thawing Elsa’s frozen heart.

It was released on November 27, 2013.

It was different.

It was a massive hit.

It also brought several groundbreaking things along with it. First, it was only the second movie from Disney to be animated with the help of CGI (the first being Tangled released in 2008). Second, Frozen would go on to become the highest grossing animated film of all time (overcome only by its successor Frozen II). Within a short time, it received an unprecedented amount of awards, including an Oscar for Best Animated Feature at the 86th Academy Awards in 2014.

But most of all, through the love of the sisters Elsa & Anna, Frozen shared the revolutionary message that true love can exist anywhere and with anyone.

NULL MAGICAL GIRL - ENGLISH TRANSLATION NOW AVAILABLE!

Project Mokyuu is excited to release our English translation of Null Magical Girl (by @The_Gen_Gen), an official spin-off light novel which was released to commemorate Madoka Magica's 10th Anniversary. Translation courtesy of our project manager @nymphatix

"This is the record of a crime.

The story of an event hopelessly inexplicable, jumbled together like a tangle of knots. This is the record of something profound yet shallow, pathetically hilarious, and bizarre yet ordinary.

The perpetrator of this deranged act is already known, and let me give you a spoiler: I am responsible for all of it. I am the source of this madness, as I am a Magical Girl...and at the same time not a Magical Girl."

It's a perfectly normal and unremarkable sort of thing. It's not anything he should spend time thinking about. Because it's meaningless, and he knows that it is. Bodies simply have reactions sometimes, and there's nothing more to it, or behind it.

After all, adrenaline is a hormone that can lead to many responses in a person.  And when adrenaline is combined with very, very physical fight choreography — with bodies so close, with so much contact, well — well, of course, these things can happen.

Physical responses shouldn't be a surprise at all. 

Sometimes, all that adrenaline is just energy that helps perfect the choreography. Sometimes, it buzzes over bone-deep exhaustion and helps him make it through to the end of the day. 

And then, sometimes, when he's coursing with adrenalin, his body reacts to being pressed into someone else's body — to moving with and against someone else's body. But, as an adult and a professional, he doesn't need to even notice that. There's no reason he should notice that. 

Not about himself or about the body that's tangled with his, so often, these days.

It's nothing worth giving a second of attention to. Not in the moment, and certainly not — 

Certainly not later and when he's alone.

Certainly not later, alone, and picturing that other body pressed against his in a less professional context. Certainly not later, alone, picturing that body pressed against his in a less professional context, and thinking about what it might like if that familiar deep voice was whispering into his neck. 

Certainly not later, alone, picturing their bodies moving — grinding — together, that voice whispering to him, and imagining their hands traveling — as his own hand travels a similar path on his own body, as he bites his lip and — 

No. Because there's nothing to inspire any of that. 

It's nothing but adrenaline and normal responses to so much physical contact. 

And, if the way that, a few moments later, he's swallowing down a shout and his heart is pounding loudly in his ears, seems to contradict that conclusion? 

Well. 

Those things are just normal physical reactions, too.

Nothing to think about.

Tangled 10th anniversary piece

Your Venus sign & your love language

numéro un

Earth signs 🌿

Capricorn 🕊

You’re a grounded and sincere lover, consistent and committed in the pursuit of love. You may take some time to fully envelope yourself in your lovers embrace, and to trust them but when you do you’re in it for the long haul. Love takes time for you and you’ll never stop working away at your relationships, knowing that anything you commit to will prove successful and abundant. You treat love like it’s hard work that’s worth doing. This is the kind of love of high school sweethearts who endure the long stretch of romance well into their older years. Or the kind who marries later in life knowing that all good things are worth waiting for. Likewise you can be a paternal lover, someone who sees the value of fostering your relationships with a fatherly approach. Keeping a steady and firm grip of any unsettling issues that may arise. You may even seek a lover of higher status than yourself or someone in the public eye as Capricorn is ruled by the 10th house of the public.

love language ~

Gift giving | Your love language is the art of gift giving. Whether that be the gift of time, an experience or something of significant material value. You see that your love should be cemented with something of financial or fiscal merit. You may also enjoy the transactional nature of love and a lover who can relish the practicalities and ambition of your showing of love. Think, a lavish birthday or anniversary gift of a trip to Paris where no expense is spared and where you can experience your love in a tangible real way.

Taurus 🕊

You’re a lover of the five senses. Here your Venus sign is in is home place, Taurus being ruled by the goddess planet Venus itself. Love for you is all about indulging the senses and feeling the sensation of love. Taste, touch, smell, sound and sight are all essential in your romantic and pleasurable pursuits. It’s a slow burn for you and you would love to enjoy every last hedonistic drop of your courtship with your lover. Earthy and secure, you’ll take your time to get really comfortable with them. Comfort is actually key as you’ll need someone you can build a grounded nest with. You want a relationship that builds over time, and being a fixed earth sign you wont want to move once you’re materially secure. This is the kind of romance between two lovers wrapped up in comfortable silk sheets letting the day wile away, or you both lying lazily in the garden sunshine wrapped up in each other’s arms. You may see the value in security above all else.

love language ~

Physical touch | Being so cued into sensation you’ll love long drawn out kisses that dance on the tongue, lingering strokes up and down the back. Love to you should be expressed by always holding hands and tousling your lovers hair. Everything should be felt in perfect harmony with one another. You may also love indulging, whether that be with a sweet luxurious dessert that you both devour over the same fork or a warm comforting movie tangled up on the love seat.

Virgo 🕊

Youre a gentle and a pure lover. After all Virgo is the sign of purity, and service. Love for you is an act of giving to your lover. You know that no amount of material gain or physical affection could ever be compared to the sincere act of looking after someone with genuine concern. Love for you is medicinal in it’s approach, taken every day like a shot of healthy wheatgrass juice. You care in the practical and genuine ways that are necessary. Romance is a routine for you that should be followed with perfect precision. You enjoy all the hallmarks in taking the proper steps to love. This is the kind of love of two practical partners who would get up at the crack of dawn on a cold winters morning to put an extra blanket over the other in bed. Or the love of two analytical thinkers who can succinctly put together an ikea wardrobe in twenty minutes. You care in ways that are simple and ritualistic but essential and romantic in their wholesomeness.

love language ~

Acts of service | There is simply no other way to love for you than by a simple act of service to your lover. You see your time is best spent by paying attention to the virtues of the day to day with your partner. Picking up shopping together, cleaning your apartment or cooking a healthy meal. You may like to work out or go for a brisk hike outside. Healthy rituals will be baked into your romance like a warm apple pie. You’ll love to see your love play out in little acts of genuine care and concern.

October Finds, Pt. 2: Plushies, Clothing, Accessories, Dinnerware, Prints

As we are getting closer to the holiday season, I thought it might be nice to share links to cartoon merchandise I've seen floating around. I use a lot of the websites listed for gift-giving inspiration or to fill up any wishlists that friends and family ask me for. I've tried to keep most things on this list under $50, and most items are on clearance or discounted heavily.

I know items from Hot Topic and Box Lunch can be very hit or miss, so I've tried to only pull items that I have felt were high-quality in the past. Also, I would encourage you to have your items shipped to their stores and pick them up in-person if you are able / comfortable, and help us keep malls alive for a little bit longer.

All of the prints from Gallery Nucleus were designed by people who worked on the show, worked in the same studio, or were very big fans of the show. I encourage you to look up the names behind any print that catches your eye and find out what they're working on now!

In the same vein... While this post was made to share semi-official to official pieces of merch, please support fanartists on platforms like INPRNT and Redbubble! I guarantee that many of the artists you follow on Tumblr sell some of their pieces online, and it's a great way to show your support in addition to reblogging their work.

You can find Pt. 1 of the list here, where I share links to music, books, comics, and graphic novels.

NOTE: I am not affiliated with any of the stores linked under the read more. I'm just someone who watches a lot of TV and reads a lot of books and likes to celebrate that by buying merch every now and then.

Hi, do you happen to know if we can expect something big for Frozen 10th anniversary? Like LE dolls, some short, new funko pops... We did have it with Tangled, BatB etc., but I'm worried at now Disney's 100th anniversary is gonna overshadow Frozen...

I don’t have any idea honestly. I know they made a video about it, but whatever they’re planning (if they’re planning anything at all) it’s a big secret.
