F.R.I.E.N.D.S but make it 2020 [Part 4]

After a moment, the young man found what he was looking for: a crystal! Sven did not appear to be convinced by his discovery.

However, the adventure hadn't really begun! next step: the valley of the trolls. When they arrived, their family greeted them warmly.

Then, Kristoff showed them the crystal. "Oh, it's perfect!" rejoiced Bulda.

The trolls got right to work with tiny tools. they carved the rock so it looked like a precious gem.

Kristoff and Sven had never seen an engagment ring so beautiful!

But they aren't done yet, the last step: the proposal.

-I will look Anna right in the eyes, and i'll tell her.... explained Kristoff. Well...i'll know what to say when the moment comes. the young man seems hesitant.

Bulda and Cliff, his adoptive parents, start giving him their advice. a proposal shouldn't be taken lightly!

-How will i know it's the right moment? asked Kristoff. follow your instincts, Bulda told him wisely.

Something really special about Eugene and Kristoff is they are considered consorts.

They become spouses to women who are of royal birth and reign their kingdoms.

Rapunzel and Anna, their girlfriends/wives, were Princesses when they first met Eugene and Kristoff who were eventually crowned Queens (I am only speaking in canon from the film Tangled— despite at the time of meeting Eugene nor Rapunzel knew she was a Princess).

As shown at the end of Tangled/Tangled Ever After and both Frozen films and the Frozen shorts, this fact did not bother the men. They never expressed feeling pressure over being in love with women of royal status or seemed overwhelmed that they would become royalty themselves through marriage. As their relationships progressed Eugene and Rapunzel didn’t let these facts alter their decisions on whether or not they wanted to get married to these women. They never expressed feeling nervous over the responsibilities and duties that came along with matrimony. They didn’t pretend to fall in love only to gain power, status, and a title (LIKE HANS). Marrying a Princess/Queen wasn’t a big deal.

This is because both men looked beyond the women’s status.

All that mattered to Eugene and Kristoff when it came to the relationships were that their true loves were safe, happy, and healthy. That’s all they cared about. Royalty or not. They truly fell in love with Rapunzel and Anna for their hearts, not for their power. Both men willingly and wholeheartedly chose the women they were committed to.

Bonus:

I love this moment between Anna and Kristoff in Frozen 2. Kristoff gets formally dressed for Anna’s coronation and she lets him know in her own words (by flirtatiously saying she prefers him wearing leather) that she likes him the way he is. The way he dresses is perfectly fine and she loves him for it.

Kristoff’s face after Anna says this and walks away is extremely precious. He’s so happy to hear that she loves every part of him.

It’s gonna be fine. Come here.
