Sofia

Those were her parents too that she just witnessed dying through a memory made of ice, but she had to put on a brave face for Elsa.

What happens next is continuation of this dynamics. I don’t think Anna is shoving her own grief and horror, yes, she supports her sister and tries to find a way to make the gravity of situation less grave, but this is how extroverts usually react: they focus on other people what helps to deal with their own feelings. And since indeed Elsa, not Anna, was an indirect cause of their parents death, Elsa is the focus of Anna’s attention. We have seen this dynamics before, for example in a scene that brought us a ton of memes:

While it is all fun and giggles, it settles how any exchange of arguments ends between the sisters. No matter what arguments Elsa uses (I have powers to protect me, you don’t) Anna will always find counter-arguments that will demolish Elsa’s ones (I have no powers but I am more than capable to take care of myself). So instead of finding new arguments Elsa does an introvert thing: stops arguing and does what Anna wants. Except that this time Anna’s life is in the line so instead of wasting time on an argument she would lose anyway, finally she does what Elsa wants (Anna alive), and not what Anna wants (Elsa alive), of course again in the introvert style.

Watching/listening to/thinking about “Show Yourself” after seeing Frozen II

Seriously one of the thing i love most with Elsa is that

she can be a total boastful nerd

but also very insecure about herself

like, very VERY  insecure about herself

heart filled with anxiety because of a traumatic childhood memory

but in the same time

she’s such a caring sweetheart

full of attention and love

but also a huge bitchy dork

and an actual giant mess at times

and also has a obsessive perfection disorder

and all of those things make her so incredibly accurate and very relatable

that i seriously am close to sob everytime i realize Walt Disney Animation Studios built her as a strong female character

because hell yes we can have anxiety, angst and be perfectionist and have disorders about that and still admirably rule a goddamn kingdom at 21 freaking years old
