Friends. Readers. Gentle folk. Under the Skin fans. I am here to take your face very carefully in my two hands and turn it towards this fic because you need it in your life like eyesight, space, and liberty, possibly also oxygen and water. Elenothar is always an infinitely subtle writer but here she has outdone herself in taking the omegaverse genre, picking it up very carefully and turning it absolutely inside out, and in the process, giving us one of the most nuanced and intimate character studies of Shen Yi I’ve ever read. It’s alternating POV so you get Du Cheng’s inner workings as well (though they revolve more around snacks and Shen Yi, and are therefore simpler, but no less affecting). Elenothar has this trick of making you feel everything the characters feel, and it sure is a lot. In conclusion spend some quality time with this fic; you will be glad you did.

"Why are people shipping everything now!" Newsflash asshole! People shipping non-canon ships has been going on for a while. Hell, people have been shipping characters, not even from the same universe! And it's always on a Itafushi post or on another gay ship post. Like my god, get a hobby if you don't like the ship, don't comment, just scroll or hey, what about not being fucking homophobic. The block button exists for a reason. You don't have to share your backhanded comments or your pathetic whining on how a certain character isn't gay.

Seriously, what is it with Chris Pine and him voicing animated dreamboats?! 😍

[the-old-man-has-the-phonebox]

I’m convinced Disney’s Wish is a personal hell created specifically for Chris Pine as punishment for being Jack Frost in RotG which made all the tweens want him

[rokupo]

At All Costs (Snowflake Version) - Chris Pine & Idina Menzel

Art I commissioned from Frost_Art on Instagram.

LYRICS UPDATED: 11/7/2024

*DISCLAIMER: These lyrics are fan-made lyrics of a song created and owned by Disney for characters that are owned by both Disney and Dreamworks respectively . No money is being made off of this. This was solely written for recreational purposes.*

Context: This is set during Frozen II, in the middle of the Dark Sea scene. They’ve barely survived the Nokk, and Jack is the most upset he’s ever been. Elsa left him behind not once, but twice. The first when they left Kristoff and Sven behind, and the second when she sent Olaf and Anna away. Not only that, she recklessly runs into the Dark Sea, and that’s not mentioning his fear of water. Coupled with the fear of being sent away, and not feeling like he has a place in Arendelle, he’s really struggling to prove his worth without being selfish.

Love is selflessness, and he has taken that to heart since the events of Frozen 1, where he abandoned Elsa before her parents died, and he did everything in his power to make up for it when she finally sees him again. However, it doesn't always work in the right way. So he’s desperately trying to not be what he perceives to be selfish, for being selfish is what almost lost him his best friend in the first place, and he is deeply afraid of losing his new family. Of losing Elsa.

But somewhere along the way, whether he understands or want to admit it or not, things changed. Jack sees Elsa differently, just as she started to in her late teens, but kept quiet due to what happened and out of respect to her friend, also because she's not sure she understands it either.

They argue in the Dark Sea, telling her he doesn't want to lose her, but right as Jack’s about to say what he actually wants, he relents, saying what he wants doesn’t matter. Elsa doesn��t accept that. Once they get to safety, she tells him what he wants matters to HER.

And he tells her he wants to stay with her forever. That he sees her the way Kristoff does to Anna. But time, fate, what have you, makes it seem like no matter what he does, he can’t. But still, he wants to be with her regardless. Because she is his destiny. And being with her makes him feel better, and whole.

So then he starts singing. And so does she. And for the first time since entering the Enchanted Forest, they're on the same page. Better now than ever before.

Sing = Siiing

(VERSE 1)

J: If destiny is a set-in-stone thing,

Mine would be you.

If you'd have told me the feelings you'd bring,

I'd think them untrue.

Yet I never thought I’d meet someone like you.

Not in this life.

You still amaze me after all this time.

(PRE-CHORUS)

You… pull me in like some kind of wind,

Steer me through all the doubts within,

Make me brave enough to tell ya...

…That I…

(CHORUS)

Love you as one does.

I, I would protect you 

At all costs.

Face the storm, and all the odds.

I, I will protect you 

At all costs.

At all costs.

(VERSE 2)

E: How to say… the words that I wish to convey?

That I want this, too. Even if I tried to,

I can’t go back to life before you.

If someone tried to stop this, there’s no

Way I’d let that happen.

I'd fight for us in ways you can't imagine.

I’ve felt this once before, so I hope

It would be alright to stand right here and tell you…

(CHORUS)

B: I love you as one does.

I, I will protect you 

At all costs.

Hold you right here in my heart.

I, I will protect you 

At all costs!

At all costs!

(BRIDGE)

If you're ever feeling like you're lost,

I’ll come find you!

Man all fronts! There's no ocean I won't swim across

To be right by you!

And not just once. Here and now, I swear on my response,

I'll remind you…

(FINAL CHORUS)

I love you as one does.

I, I will protect you 

At all costs!

Keep you safe here in my arms!

I, I will protect you 

At all costs!

At all costs.

(END)

Debated whether or not to do this after posting the Jack Frost This Is The Thanks I Get?!, and finally hearing this for the first time. I got giddy, as this is definitely one of the top songs from the Wish soundtrack, and it struck me as odd that the villain, who in the movie was married, and the protagonist would sing something that sounded... well, romantic.

After seeing Wish for the context of it, and later discovering the Demo Version, learning that it WAS originally written as a love song, well... I had to go back and tweak my original draft.

@doodlemel's Animatic of them singing this song definitely didn't help, either. XD

I had to tweak bits that weren't making sense for Jack to say, especially parts that Magnifico said in the movie that kinda hinted to his more flawed persona. Because Jack is a good guy, but also someone who has never experienced these kinda feelings before, as well as also dealing with a lot of mistakes and trauma that influence his perception of whether or not his feelings are genuine, and whether he has a right to feel these feelings.

Elsa, for her part. is more straightforward, remarkably. Because I headcanon that she fell in love first, but Jack was being Shonen Protagonist oblivious to it. And by the time he started feeling a spark of something similar, stuff had already happened between them that they needed to clear up. But her feelings for him never really went away, even if she got better at hiding them. So when she hears him FINALLY admit that he feels the same way, she doesn't have to hide anymore. She lets him say his piece, and responds in kind.

Ultimately, I didn't really change much but the first parts where they sing, and parts of the choruses. Especially the “love” parts, as I just HAD to incorporate the original Demo Version into it. It's telling a sort of story. Of them slowly synchronizing once more, and finally ending with them being of one mind and heart.

For to love on a spectrum that has both beings as one, in my opinion, is truly a beautiful thing.

A little follow-up from this post! 🌊

+ corny drabble and art under cut

“Is there a mall or something nearby?”

“A m— Jack, we’re in the middle of the woods. Berk barely has a general store.”

“You know those like — tall box thingys? You take pictures in them?” Jack says, and Hiccup knows he’s frustrated with himself for not finding the right words. Nobody’s memory is perfect after hundreds of years of floating. The photo in Hiccup’s hand flutters with the ocean breeze, threatening to tear out of his grasp and fly away. This could help with that.

“Oh,” Hiccup blinks, “a photobooth?”

Jack snaps his fingers. “Yes! That!”

“I dunno, I doubt there’s any in this county, let alone—” Hiccup feels Jack’s grip switch from his shoulders to a more firm hug under his arms. The wind picks up, pulling at his jacket, lifting the heel of his boot - and Hiccup shoves the photo of Jack in his pocket. “Wait—!”

“Wind!” Jack crows, and Hiccup can hear his puckish grin.

They take off into the sky.

Everyone on the hate train for the new Wish movie, meanwhile I’m enjoying the Chris Pine Jack Frost to King Dude pipeline, like, all I’m saying is 2012 tumblr would’ve eaten this shit up

[gonsia]

My favorite BillDip.

And, of course, the cartoon “Rise Of The Guardians”, underrated by many. In particular, I always loved the unusual chemistry between Pitch Black and Jack Frost

I used to really love reading Jack and Pitch fanfiction. I was especially inspired by this artist - YARA. I bow to her. and it’s a shame that I can’t find her and her creativity at the moment

OH, JARNATHAN.

@twiafom and I watched the DnD movie a couple weeks ago and IT’S SO GOOD YOU GUYS. Naturally a hijack au came out of it, with 30% being actual hijack and the other 70% being a buddy comedy with barbarian!Astrid and bard!Jack :'''D
