the real duke of weselton

Well folks, here it is. Our 5th anniversary! The quote above comes from my friend @bigfrozenfan shortly after our 4th anniversary and we think it's a perfect summary of the works of Arendelle Archives since its inception in 2021.

The Frozen franchise is a fine example of Disney world-building and with two movies, several short films and numerous novels, books and comics, there is A LOT of material to dig into an analyse. And that has always been the goal of the Archives-project: to provide a platform for fans who want to create their own analysis-projects, write articles, post findings and theories and so on. We want to be a stepping-stone for fans, both old and new, to explore some of the underlying, niche Frozen-topics that only gets a brief mention or hint in the movies. Like, what's the deal with Hans's ship? When was Arendelle founded? How did Runeard build his dam? Are there any accurate maps of Arendelle and other Disney kingdoms? What's the chronology of the movies and the novels? How many named characters are there in Arendelle and why are so many of them called Lars?

These are just a handful of topics that we have explored during our five years and with Frozen III on the horizon, we expect there will be plenty more lore to dig into very soon!

For this special day, our co-founder @saiten-gefroren wanted to share this message:

Today is a special day for us. It's the 5th anniversary of Arendelle Archives! First, I want to say thanks to our team. It is the participation of us together that makes the Archives flourish and stay creative. Five years ago, we were only 4 members with 2 projects, but take a look at what we've achieved so far: there are 57 members on Discord with a variety of channels to discuss. There's a Tumblr blog where we post completed projects and answer to the questions people asked. We even have a video on YouTube through collaboration. I would say the achievements today have gone beyond my initial expectations, and I'm proud to be a member of Arendelle Archives. Special thanks to my friend @virtual-winter who has always been enthusiastic and putting a lot of efforts here for all these years. The Archives would not be so lively without his sustained efforts. Second, we will not stand still by admiring the past, of course. The next five years will be even more exciting! In one year and a little more, Frozen III will come out, followed by Frozen IV. I'm sure that the whole fandom will be heated once again in the next few years, and we royal archivists will get tons of documentations to work on then. I promise the Archives will always be a good platform to share ideas, discuss, collaborate and conduct projects freely. We have obtained all these achievements together, and we will continue to do this together. The flag of Arendelle Archives will always fly! 🎇🎇🎇

From our Discord-team, we would like to thank everyone who has commented, liked, reblogged and asked questions during these past five years and we're looking forward to the next five!

July 10th 2026 marks the 5th anniversary of the Arendelle Archives-project 🥳

come read my slop

• beatrice and benedick are hallway neighbors and the ultimate will-they-won’t-they

• the macbeths are the neighbors upstairs who are always either bickering or having loud sex or committing atrocities

• juliet finally saved up enough to move out of her parents’ house and she’s ready to make bad decisions when it comes to love

• orsino and olivia are exes who find out they both have been dating the exact same person

• puck is the neighborhood weed dealer

• everyone knows kate is too good for petruchio and wonders if they’re just together because they have the same kinks (that’s exactly why)

• horatio and benvolio are the stablest people in the building. their boyfriends hamlet and mercutio are the least stable

sorry anon you caught me right in the middle of my twelfth night hyperfocus so you will be subjected to my madness via headcanons;

viola to me is transmasc + bigender, hence why i often switch between the two names + sets of pronouns when referring to him, he doesnt super mind either way

she canonically has a lovely singing voice but i was thinking with how she addresses olivia she may be a poet as well. pretty handwriting in my head

following the shipwreck he does Not Like Being On A Boat. and as such he gets queasy when in too deep water

a bit of a comedy sniper in that he knows exactly what to say at the right time while seeming generally unassuming
