“Elsa didn’t look up as Jack floated himself down to the ground just a few paces behind her and the Nøkk, nor did she make any movements as the wind and the leaves curled about his face, whispering to him that the people of Arendelle were safe—but devastated, and banding together against the pain.”

more than you know, ACT III: i

Some mermaid×wind-spirit Jelsa AU. I just thought the idea is pretty neat. And it had to be frienemies to mates for life, *cough cough cough... . While Elsa deals with her problems and finds solutions, Jack deals with answering his own questions regarding this sassy mer-lady.

Now that's my trash description, I'm sorry😅. Let me know if you need me to add or change anything.

Also feat: Bruni, the flying fire fish.

Direct pen work, no pencil, no reference. Please believe me, this took two hours to complete.

Dearest @therentyoupay, since we all love a funny and fun mermaid AU, consider this as a warm up for what's coming after the fifth part. 👀👀👀✨️✨️✨️. Shh don't tell!!!

Anyways have a good day sweets. 😌😌😌🤭🤭🤭.

Incase you're still here. Let me know what you think about the dialog script in the image. Excuse me if they're any spelling or grammatical errors. I'm sick at the moment. Thank you love ya all.

Ok, I must say it.

I've spent the last week reading "At the Center" by the talented @therentyoupay, it's a beautiful and heartbreaking story at the same time!

Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop, and those who have already read it will understand me (and if by any chance you haven't already, what are you waiting for?!) The story is a roller coaster of emotions that never stops! (My heart has been so beaten up by it, but I'm a masochist and I keep reading)!!!!

It's such a well-written story in every sense that it has now become canon in my heart and head!

I'll never be able to watch any of those movies in the same way again because I won't be able to avoid looking for them in the other respectively because now I feel like they have been together since the beginning! WAAAA

Anyway, I'ld like to share an interesting fact that perhaps some of you may not know...

Did you know that in the Latin American dub of both; Frozen and Rise of the Guardians the voice actress for Elsa as a teenager and Jack's sister is the same? (Andrea Arruti)

Additionally, their first line of dialogue is basically the same too?

"(Jack) / I'm scared" :'(

When I saw that scene in Frozen for the first time, I had a déjà vu, and right after that I remembered the scene with Jack and his sister, and something "clicked" inside my head.

And now that I read At the Center, "something simply BOOMED"!!!!!!

It was so easy (and natural) to imagine the interactions between Jack and Elsa. I could almost hear Elsa calling Jack for help (and protection) as his sister did once.

Remember that at the beginning of the story, their relationship was more “fraternal”, he saw her as someone to protect, and eventually he has the same protective feeling towards her, but now from a different perspective. <3

(This transition of perspectives was so damn painful!)

Jack, despite what many may think, has always had a protective instinct (being a Guardian in every sense of the word), and seriously, At the Center is a wonderful journey that allows us to get to know and explore the characters with so much depth (especially Jack).

I will be eternally grateful to @therentyoupay for writing such an amazing story, I hope to read the end someday when she decides it is the time to continue it.

:'3

En fin, JELSA FOREVER!!!!!

what are your favorite things about jelsa? ✨

Ah, it’s kinda hard for me to put on into words, actually.

First and foremost, the AESTHETIC, because my goodness, do they look good in the snow, not to mention how infinitely romantic those backdrops are.

But I think overall what I love is just the characterization. How often I can just imagine them getting into scenarios and adventures, and just how easily it MAKES SENSE. And how it makes sense for them to be able to complement each other because their experiences. Especially the angsty ones, because DRAMA, but also because just imagining them overcome and thrive just reminds me what it means to be human. Which is ironic coming from two super humans.

The deeper I dig into this hole, the more it feels to me - despite reality and corporate shenanigans saying otherwise - that they fit together like a puzzle you didn’t know existed.

guys college is hard

everyone says its supposed to be the best years of your life but low key this is rough

[therentyoupay-deleted]

hi all

🥲🥲 my account, @therentyoupay, was terminated today while i was eating dinner.

i have contacted tumblr support but reddit says that getting reinstated is really hit or miss. i don’t trust tumblr anymore so i don’t think i will be using it after this, even if they give me my account back. i have no idea what triggered its termination.

all posts from the last eleven years, as well as my fic-only blog (@therentyoupay-fanfiction), my advice blog, my organized fandom event blogs (@evenly-matched and @jelsaweekend), and my main have all been terminated. all the tumblr-only fic, the master posts, the manifestos, mutuals who i had not yet gotten phone numbers for, and fanart—gone.

will i be able to get it reinstated? i don’t know. even if i do, i think it’s a sign that it’s time to move away from tumblr.

it feels weird. i feel okay and also a little bereft. i hadn’t used tumblr for three years at one point but it was always nice to know that i could come back to it.

not sure if there is anything better than tumblr at this point. i think it might be time to just make a website of my own; or just stick to ao3.

i’ll use this account for now as a catchall for anyone who might be trying to find me. otherwise, the surest bet, for now, is ao3 and ao3 only.

thanks all 💕💕

🍅 ⇢ give yourself some constructive criticism on your own writing

Ooof, this one was hard. But thank you so much for this ask!

I would say that I blow things out of proportion way too easily. I'll have an easy, simple story idea in my head and then I'll give up on it once it passes 6k words and I'm nowhere near the point I was trying to reach. I would tell myself to focus on what I want to write, not what I think I should write. The beauty of fanfiction to me is sharing, but as a perfectionist, I often take away my own joy in my work by worrying about how it's received, how good or bad it is, or wanting to make my own writing too grand. I'm a fanfiction writer still learning to balance on her own two feet in this world, not even up to the same adulting everybody else is, so I don't have to write a historical, radically eloquent piece of literature. The allure of fanfiction is it's ease and connection that we find because anyone could do it. Maybe not everyone could touch my heart the same way some authors certainly have, but they probably touched others. So to give myself some advice, I would say breathe. Don't be afraid to get to the point. Don't over explain yourself. Appreciate your writing, and know that's it's good, that your enjoyment is the most important. Stop waking up in the middle of the night to write, for God's sake, that does not help your coherency. "Strive for excellence, not perfection," and most of all, do. The thing that inspires me the most about fanfictioin writers is the fact that they just sit down and write fanfiction in the middle of their busy lives. I've wanted to be able to write my stories and never believed I could, but fanfiction taught me there is no specific standard of writing ability needed, just an urge to share stories and ideas and the motivation and drive to do just that. I would tell myself to just write, but keep my eye on the goal that I want to reach, not the path I'm writing to get there.

Thank you so much for making me think about this!

HI 💕💕💕 WELCOME BACK TO TUMBLR, i am obsessed with your art style 😭😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏

AAAAAAA HELLO THANK YOU AGAIN!!

This actually means so much because I was actually in an art funk. Then the #kriscallicollab ripped me out of it and something possessed me to draw regardless of how rusty I felt 😂

ALSO check your pipes for frost is one of my favorite fics!! Thank you so much for all the stories!!!

[lady-harrowhark]

⭐ for your current/most recent WIP!!!

Ohhhhh boy 😂

I need to preface this with the fact that this is so early in the process that I don't want to publicly commit to saying much about about the plot or even speculate on any sort of timeline as to when this might be finished.

But I will give a little snippet of something I'm working on. In this project, one of the things that's both fun and challenging is working from a largely new-to-me POV and more intimately illustrating some experiences that I've previously only written from an observer's perspective:

Harrow said that just meant her insight was getting better, that she was more aware of “areas where she needed support” which was the sugarcoated term for “weaknesses.” In hindsight, Gideon knew that initially she’d truly believed many of the checks and safeguards were unnecessary; now she knew that without the lists and alarms and extra time and another set of eyes she was prone to impulsively giving into distractions, to forgetting things, to missing things that were obvious to everyone else. And it fucking sucked.

That's all [whistling innocently]

Hello sweets,

This is going to be a hella long post, so if you're new here, I'm working on a five part fanart series for the fanfiction "more than you know" written by the @therentyoupay and @callimara. So far I've completed and posted four from the series. They're posted in reverse chronological order so that they would be in line with the fifth and the last one of the series.

So yeah, feast my sweets:

The story so far....

Fanart part-4/5 :

Fanart part-3/5 :

So yeah that's it my sweets. If you made it this far, here is a potato 🥔.

Thank you all so much for your love.💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

8, 11, & 22! 💕✨

8. how many languages do you know?

fluently? just the one. i know enough french, spanish, japanese, and korean that i can get by as a polite tourist, but despite the definite want to learn a bunch of different languages, i always lose my grip on them by not practicing enough 🥲

11. are you an introvert or an extrovert?

an introvert, but the kind of introvert you become after you've worked in customer service for too long. i can turn it on at the right times, in the right situations, but it wears me out lol

and i can always be an extrovert for my fiance when he needs me to be 💛

22. best memory you could think of?

the more memories you have, the harder this question gets, jfc. i guess my gut response was my fiance and i went to disneyland for my birthday two years ago (back when he was still just my boyfriend) and i dressed as a jedi, and there weren't really a lot of plans for that day but i remember the moment when we walked up to the blue bayou restaurant without a reservation and they were able to seat us right away and it just felt like this beautiful birthday luck. maybe that's not my best memory, but it's certainly one i think about a lot

ask me questions
