"Where the North Wind meets the sea...
There's a river full of memory.
Sleep, my darling, safe and sound...
For in this river, all is found.
In her waters, deep and true,
Lie the answers and a path for you.
Dive down deep into her sound...
But not too far or you'll be drowned."

The French version of Show Yourself is a yikes
I seriously don't know how they manage to change the song's meaning so easily. I tolerated Let it go because of the vocal performance that was really good and powerful but Show Yourself ? Please don't.
And I'm not talking vocally, I'm saying this because of one specific part of the song, the part where Elsa belts out : "I am found" after seeing her mother in Ahtohallan
That part was so powerful I teared up, and I really didn’t expect tears that day.
So why did they think it would be a good idea to translate "I am found" to “Rien ne meurt" which literally means "Nothing dies" ? I mean okay it is nice, it's deep and stuff but it's not really the point of the song.
In show yourself Elsa quite literally finds herself—what/who she really is, and in the French version they made it a kind of reunion thing between Elsa and her mother, and it’s cute, but like I said : it is not what the song was fully about.
The same thing happened with Let it go :
- "let the storm rage on" = "Perdue dans l'hiver" = "lost in the winter/snow".
They kind of did the same thing in some parts of Into the Unknown I'll give some examples again :
- "I've had my own adventure, I don't need something new" to "I've tried adventure, and I lost myself"
- "I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you" to "I don't want to leave"
By doing this they also change the meaning of the songs and it is way too important in a movie like this. The songs definitely aren't bad, if I did not watch the movie in English I would have been okay with all of this, but since I didn't, I clearly know the original message that the writers wanted to portray and it really is way too bad that some people will not get to fully understand all of it.
Guess it's one of the cons of translation
You’re speaking my language, varian.
Rip anyone who attempts to sing it.

Not entirely true to the prompt but I still had fun with it and that’s all the really matters. By the way this is the Over the Garden Wall one. NOT the Frozen 2 one. Ew.
I decided today that I'm going to quit my job. I have nothing to fall back on. I do feel selfish and irresponsible. I have a family and bills to take care of. But I also have never done anything for me. I have been struggling with my mental health for a while now. Just last year I started doing something about it because I left one job and hopped right into another without taking any time off. I didn't want to do that again. I don't want to carry the same ill feelings into another space. It defeats the purpose of me starting over. I honestly don't know what my next step is. Am I worried and scared? Yes. Surprisingly I'm not as much as I thought I would be. I'm mostly relieved. I like a lot of weight is lifted off of my shoulders. Anxiety is caused by the fear of the unknown. I'm letting that go. I am doing what's best for me and not what I think is best for me. This is my first major step in making changes in my life. If you have any advice or encouraging words, please feel free to comment. They may come in hand on bad days.
Take Care, Be Considerate, Have Compassion💜
IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN, FOLKS!

Frozen 2 Review
I wasn’t the biggest fan of the first Frozen movie. I thought it was a mixed bag. The songs were catchy and emphasis on Anna and Elsa’s sibling relationship driving the movie were all high points for me, but I didn’t like Hans as a twist villain and found some of the execution a bit lacking. So I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this movie. I was pleasantly surprised and left the theater having enjoyed the movie.
This film once again put heavy emphasis on the sibling relationship of Anna and Elsa and I felt that it was easily the strongest aspect of the film. Elsa’s anxiety and guilt is explored and expanded upon. She still feels that because of her powers she is the cause of the misfortune and unhappiness that her family has faced and it’s revealed that her parents died trying to learn the truth about her powers which just reinforces these fears and causes her to take the final leg of her journey alone. Anna is struggling to help Elsa see her own self worth and maintain their connection. Both of these character journeys are emotionally impactful at times and make the characters relatable. Elsa finally gets closure on her powers and her meaning in life. Learning that her being born and her powers have a purpose which lifts a large burden that she has had since the beginning of the first film off her shoulders. My favorite part of the film is how their relationship at the beginning of the film is portrayed. Elsa and Anna are allowed to do normal everyday things with each other and comfort each other. I appreciated the scene where Anna notices something is wrong with Elsa and they end up cuddling while Anna sings the song their mother used to to Elsa. I always love when media portrays caring sibling relationships.
I was surprised by the dark subject matter the film chose to cover. It depicted the conflict between white colonizers and peaceful indigenous people with Elsa and Anna’s grandfather killing the unsuspecting, unarmed Northuldra chief, which leads to a non-graphic massacre of the indigenous people. The film deals with the erasure of these past misdeeds and the responsibility of the newer generation to acknowledge these wrongs and work for a better future. I can tell you as someone who is native American that I personally appreciated that this issue was given focus within the movie because it sadly mirrors real world events.
The standout songs are “Into the Unknown” and “Show Yourself”, which are to no surprise, sung by Idina Menzel (the voice of Elsa) who has an incredible voice. I found these songs to be more emotionally resonant than the songs in the first film while not being quite as catchy as “Let it Go”. The animation in this movie was stunning. The particle effects when Elsa used her powers were incredible. Everything from faces to movements to hair to clothes were so detailed. It seemed like you could see the individual hairs on a character’s head and threads of their clothes.
All that being said this movie wasn’t perfect. I didn’t really like what they did with Kristoff this movie. I found the repeated failure to propose to be tiresome and wished that they had cut this subplot to give more time to Anna and Elsa’s relationship and maybe expanding upon the Northuldra people’s culture. While I thought Olaf was funnier in this film than the first I felt he wasn’t really necessary. I also wasn’t the biggest fan of Elsa and Anna ending the movie separated. They spent the majority of their childhood apart and now they are once again apart after only being together for a few years. It seemed a bit counter to the arc between Elsa and Anna they had set up. The first movie Elsa’s arc was about learning that shutting herself off from the world and those that care about her didn’t truly free her like she initially thought and it was only through those connections that she could come to accept herself and be happy. And heavy emphasis was put on their sibling bond in both films, so having Elsa decide to live in the forest and live away from Anna and the kingdom was not the ending I would have liked.
Overall I enjoyed this film and found a lot of the character beats hit me harder than the first. I also liked the story more and the expanded mythology within the movie. While not a perfect film I think it was worth the price of admission.
Ooh! You better be wise and don’t believe his lies…
