New poll idea! Hugh’s 3 animated animal characters. Roddy from Flushed Away, the Easter Bunny from Rise of the Guardians, and Memphis from Happy Feet!

I think we all know who @princessanglophile is choosing 👀

😄

Okay dokes - best animated animal character Hugh has voiced

Unsure if nightlight only interacting with kids/avoiding adults in the early days has more to do with the adults in his life being abusive, a specific trauma like Pitch’s attack, him not knowing how to interact with people other than children/not being permitted to interact with anyone but the children… or all of the above?

Like I get it’s not that deep but, also, it is to me. This is how I choose to vibe with him. His trauma is so delicious i want to know more. What the fuck was happening in the Golden Ages??

thinking about how the concept art book has Tooth’s father being the maharaja, while in the books the maharaja is her sworn enemy.

love was always hard to feel, for jack

admiration, that’s easy.

the frosted illustrations on pine and glass alike brought forth joy; knowing, that the little doodles and curves and shapes he created could be seen even if he can’t be.

a mother whispering lullabies into her child’s ears as they fell asleep, that’s where admiration and peace come from.

but love? love escaped his grasp countless times. there was no love for the man in the moon. his silence brought no olive branch to try to create a loving relationship. he had no family, no childhood, only the freezing hold of his pond before he awoke to silver tinted rays of moonlight pulling him into the air.

maybe the affection he held for the wind counted as love, though. and the pride he felt for the children he goaded into snowball fights could, too. watching a kid build their first snowman, laughing in delight at their creation—that could be love, maybe.

but it was through a window that jack felt the love. the wind could hold him and whisper wispy nothings into his ears, caressing his skin and ruffling his hair, that could be love, too. a kinship that was wordless and truly the closest he could reach to be loved and to love.

but… what was love, really?

jack had no one to remember with wistful sighs, no one to share his first kiss with. how many firsts does he have, and not have? did he have a lover before he was jack frost? was there a life he had before he was woken up? was he born? or was he made, like other elemental sprites? but even they were born, in their own special ways.

maybe jack wasn’t meant to find love, to learn about its quirks and oddities. the closest he would come to knowing and understanding love is with the wind. the wind, who has many sides and personalities. jack could come to learn those sides more, as he has for the past however many years. some parts of the wind jack knew best, others he didn’t know at all.

in truth, jack felt he was destined to be loveless. it’s not easy to consider an element to be his first love. not… not a lustful love, not a fanciful one. how would he truly know those, anyways? but a love of familiarity, of no conditions. one born from time, of countless adventures and sights shared.

My friend used to doodle on my hand during our free time so I'm projecting that trait on Bunny.

oh it’s time to share my favorite quote from this book series

ik i just said that goc is a kids book but then they'll go and use words like "legerdemain" and i really fucking doubt who the intended audience even is

[stormingfrost]

Okay *rubs hands together* how about a final showdown with this week's winners

Professor Logan v Bunny v Leopold v PT Barmun...

I have a theory who will win but given how fun these have been to watch, I think we need the ultimate winner.

Anon, I love you 🥰 poll after the pics - just go with what feels right 😁

I’ve had Rise of the Guardians brain rot since April, someone send help.

Anyways, here’s a Jack Frost drawing 🤲

[stormingfrost]

crazy move to describe North as being "old enough for the beginnings of a beard" and a "daring young rascal"... and then show me this guy

like.. sorry but one of these things sounds like a 14 yro and the other looks like hes in his late 30s???

General Kozmotis Pitchiner

kinda insane that goc literally says that the "good guys" of the golden age "entombed" all of the criminals in eternal darkness that reduced them to shadows of themselves...

i kinda wish we stuck with the original thought that pitch opened the cell to "let in some air" because at least then it sounds like he had sympathy for them or disagreed a little with their treatment? go for the 180 character arc from golden boy to political rebel. hell, even insisting on taking that post could have been a line up to a really interesting struggle!

alas it is a children's book!

but that on top of the slavery of the nightlights.. the golden age isn't really looking so golden?

[stormingfrost]

it's not really talked about in goc fandom but ... nightlight was essentially a slave?

like he and all the other nightlights were born into servitude to protect a child. they had to care for them all night, every night, likely longer since infants sleep more often. they had to stay with them or near them all the time...

idk, they were slaves? and somehow the narrative completely glosses over this fact and goes "oh but how beautiful the golden age was!"

no? you just established that the most "beloved" and royal family of the golden age employed child slaves, that then ritualistically killed themselves once they weren't needed anymore???

and nightlight canonically rarely ever speaks because he had to be quiet for the baby to sleep. he only speaks when he has to even after he's freed from his service!

and then he also canonically distrusts most “tall ones” and only really likes the “small ones”?? what were these grown adults doing that made him feel uncomfortable around any adult he didn’t know?

excuse me????
