I never got to watch Olafs frozen adventure!!! Tell me something What can we garner about arendels size based on the houses Olaf visited?

I’d say the town is a pretty decent size for a small town. Olaf went to a pretty wide range of homes during his little montage, from various houses in the village to a houseboat and all the way out to Oaken’s. 

Here in this concept art we get a pretty good sense of what the town centre looks like. Many of the houses are tall, at least two if not three storeys, slender, and ornate. The colours as typical for a Scandinavian town, and it definitely appears like everyone who lives in the town at least is very comfortable, well-off, and open to express their own individual traditions. 

Everyone is free to celebrate the winter holidays how they want, leading me to believe that Arendelle is way ahead of most of Europe when it comes to religious acceptance. (Also I’m going to assume that one woman is a baker by profession because no one would have had a personal oven big enough for that gingerbread Norway). So while it might be small, Arendelle has an insane amount of variety in its people if we consider time period and location.

But speaking of size:

You can get a pretty good sense of it here, taken from Frozen Fever instead of OFA. It’s not big, but I still maintain that this town isn’t all of Arendelle. It’s just the capital.

The map from FF depicts two nations we know: Arendelle, and the Southern Isles. Both of these countries’ capitals are marked by a castle icon (at least, that’s what we can assume for the Southern Isles). Both countries’ territories are indicated by colour: Arendelle that greenish-grey, SI by purple. And because we don’t see an edge to that green, we can assume all that land is Arendelle’s territory. Which makes more sense as to why Hans would want to be king of Arendelle - it’s a larger swath of land for him to lord over his brothers, likely has more resources in the mountains, and, based on the castle icons, has the bigger castle and potentially more wealth. This is all speculation, of course, since the only part of the SI that we see is a manure pit, but it would make Hans’ actions at least a little more understandable. If Arendelle was only the town that we saw, and the entire kingdom was contained within that wall (which, in itself, doesn’t mean much because walled cities were definitely a thing and didn’t actually mean that the owned land stopped at the wall) then why Arendelle would even be considered relevant in the year 1840ish when empires were all the rage and owning as much land as physically possible was all anyone was concerned about is beyond me.

But going back to the town: the capital is small, yes, especially for a kingdom that does seem wealthier than at least the Southern Isles. So I’m going to propose something new that I don’t think many people have thought of yet: what if this is a new town? Not, like, within Anna and Elsa’s lifetime, or even their parents, but within the past 100-150 years? Capitals can move, as can towns. Maybe what was the original capital was either deemed unfit or no longer as strategic as the current location? We don’t know much about Arendelle’s history, except for the fact that they’re a Nordic people living in the part of the world that can get very cold and they build primarily out of wood. So it’s not entirely out there to assume that a city-destroying fire occurred in the past. Take the real-life Norwegian town of Bergen, that has been destroyed and rebuilt due to large-scale fires over the course of its history. So it’s entirely possible that Arendelle’s capital was either moved here after the last capital burned to the ground or it suffered a devastating fire maybe 100 years ago and what we have now is what has been built up. The fire thing might also be why the royal castle - so the home of the most important people in Arendelle and the seat of power - is separated from the town by a small inlet, and the only way to get to it is via a stone bridge. Actually, that might also explain why all the houses are built largely in the same architectural style. Typically, in older cities and towns there would be a mix of things built throughout history. Cities that are largely homogenous in their architecture are ones that witnessed mass-construction within a relatively short timeframe. So, town burns to the ground and then is rebuilt within a couple decades, resulting in all the houses looking similar.

Sorry, I’ve gotten away from the question at hand, but it is true that OFA at least shows more of the kingdom than we’ve seen before. Most of the town can be seen in Olaf’s song, but we do get more wilderness adventures, leading me to believe that the forests around Arendelle are largely unpopulated because of the rampant wolf attacks and the random gorges that seemingly appear whenever it's most inconvenient. So that could be another reason why the town is so small, I suppose.

Loving how gay Elsa is in WIR 2 And in general

Mainly I just love how Elsa is gay XD

Bloop

Margot Berger was born into a rich Austrian family, and her parents were passionate art lovers. She had all the best tutors, and went to Switzerland to study at an art conservatory for young ladies there. That’s also where she fell in love for the first time, with a fellow student. Their relationship was discovered and Margot was sent home in shame--except she refused to be shamed, and immediately immersed herself in the artistic community in Vienna, attending salons and going to clubs. Her parents, embarrassed by her unladylike behavior, cut her off, but Margot was able to support herself with her art, especially her excellent portraits. She also had a rich patroness, although their romantic relationship was discrete because the lady was noble and married, and eventually ended. Several other pleasant but brief romances followed, and Margot decided to travel, visiting galleries in many cities to study the work of great masters. After Margot’s art was exhibited abroad, it was seen by Queen Elsa, who invited her to Arendelle to paint a series of family portraits. Margot’s curly hair is cut short, and she wears an apron because she has a bad habit of wiping her brushes on her skirt. She’s very good with children. She likes hiking (in the Victorian sense of hiking) and collects flowers to press. Margot is very interested in philosophy, and loves to discuss new ideas. 

[Send “Bloop” to my inbox and I’ll spout a random fun fact about one of my OCs. You can specify an OC or ask a question if you’d like, otherwise it’s dealers choice]

[tiii13]

Are you ace?

I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT I AM AND WHAT I AM DOING IN THIS WORLD...

Humans are so complicated, I can’t keep up....*cry*

[badjura]

That talon picture is amazing but WHERE IS DOOMFIST

i don’t take orders from randos lmao

[wlwkiryuu]

Ummmm isn't nami the only one who ISNT a lesbian

lmao its just my personal headcanon. i read her as a lesbian because i feel like she’s a closeted one facing coercive heterosexuality + i dont believe her sexuality was ever specified in the series so its up in the air

[yangxiaolongprotectionsquad]

But seriously what THE FUCK could the CREWBY be building up to? Like seriously how mad are you going to be when they don't give is bumblby? They've been building this up all season and they missed resolving such a built up problem in one season so WHY THE CEREMONY? What are they building up too? I can't put my heart into something like this to get hurt again

Well, whatever happens it’s best to remember that it is a show. I’d be lying if I told you that I know how the reunion is going to go; but that can be positive too, in its own way.

Will bumbleby be canon? I truthfully do think so, and if it doesn’t happen that’s just something we’re going to have to accept. We don’t have to be happy, obviously, but let’s take everything with a grain of salt. I am trusting Rooster Teeth right now; they tricked us with Yang going to Ruby/Raven and I believe that they are going to make all this build-up worth it. Also, I mean we know it’s going to be super emotional. Arryn and Barb both said so. Positivity yay

Also go to sleep my dude it’s late omg

[justlookatthosesausages]

In case something happens (an actor can't play the role anymore or you suddenly lose the funds to pay for the trip) I would go see it sooner rather than later

I’m still thinking about it!

[honeyby]

I was prepared for a lot of cool head cannons on this blog but Blake dancing with Yang in Atlas is one that has me shook

I’ve been highkey dying for it to be a thing ever since we found out we’re going Atlas. I’m a sucker for fancy party plots in general, and a fancy party with dancing bees that serve as a callback to Burning the Candle, an opportunity to hear a version of BMBLB, and the potential for more Beauty and the Beast parallels? Sign me the fuck up please.

[frozenartscapes]

I'm going to ask justlookatthosesausages the same thing but! I also want to hear from you Which school based subjects do you think Elsa is the best at in order?

Like, what level of school? I’ll go for general first, then I might apply some University-level stuff at the end.

1. I’m gonna say math, specifically geometry.

2. Ok, I’m going to use a course I took when I was in high school: Tech Design (it was like an intro to architecture). We got to work with an old-ass version of autoCAD and design houses and picnic tables, so right up Elsa’s alley.

3. Visual art.

4. Physics.

5. Civics.

6. History.

7. Gym. She’s able to run in a dress with a heavy, velvet cape across a fjord without breaking her pace, and then up a mountain before daybreak during the time of year when nights don’t last too long. She’s easily the best runner in the whole school. (However, anything involving using her hands doesn’t work out so well. Coincidentally, she’s really good at soccer.)

8. English (So literature studies).

9. I’m gonna say some other language, like French, Spanish, German? I’m inclined to say French but that’s largely based on the fact that for me, French was the most prominent second language school course you could take.

10. Chemistry. The theory part is really good, doing labs not so much. A lot of reactions require specific temperatures and the fact that she can freeze stuff upon touching it throws a wrench in a lot of assignments.

To be fair, though, Elsa strikes me as the kind of person who doesn’t really have a bad subject in school. Some might be harder than others, but I feel like she’s the kind of person who refuses to let her grades slip below an A-. So while the list above goes more or less in order of what’s easiest for her, none of the other subjects really give her a hard time.

Now onto University level:

1. Architecture

2. Physics

3. Law

4. Business

5. For some reason, I can see her really being into history, so some kind of history major.

And just for fun: photography. (Largely because of all the art fields, it’s the most technical, requires working knowledge of optics and physics in general, and depending on the type of photography lends itself well to creative ideas. I feel like Elsa would really enjoy something methodical, like food or product photography for ad campaigns, which doesn’t involve any awkward interaction with models and allows you to just kinda work steadily toward the perfect shot).

[dirtyrainbowstories]

Do you....have all these fethishs? Or are you simply a vessel for which those who posses such strange delicate interests may read what day so enjoy sexually put to word

I am actually into most of the things I write about, yeah.

[yurinnocent]

Ok the last two what's the girls in the kimonos Are they actually gay or is this queer baiting

I think it counts as queer baiting unfortunately

I mean they are obviously gay, even their classmates think they are dating, but they never kiss or anything 

[teadalek]

Wait the Elsa what's up I'm gay post Was that Kent to be HER speaking or YOU speaking

I mean I meant me but also

[almea]

Or the Worst case scenario…… Yang and Blake don't reunite until next season or they don't explore the feelings until next season

In my opinion, there’s no chance we’re not getting the reunion in this volume.

At multiple NYCC interviews/panels, they’ve said the theme of this volume is rebuilding. Going by what’s happened in the show so far, the specific thing that’s being rebuilt is team RWBY. And they can’t finish rebuilding team RWBY without Blake. It’s literally impossible.

And it also doesn’t make sense to keep Blake away from the team for an extra volume because that creates a sense that she’s less a part of the team than the others are.

But there’s definitely a possibility that we won’t get all of the Feelings between Blake and Yang in this volume. I think we’re going to get something because it’d feel a little incomplete to get nothing after we got Yang talking about her feelings in episode 8, which I just realized is the first episode of the second half of the volume.
