Welcome to my mess

Mine

....I don't mind

At last my hyperfixations pay off! We shall be very happy in the enchanted forest— she can do the magic while I make the soup 🍲❄️✨

Haven’t seen the anime yet, but I’ve seen lots of edits and I certainly don’t mind 🤭

We know that Kristoff and the Northuldras was inspired by the Saami, but after Frozen 2 placing Anna and Elsa as the descendants I left this aside, however, today I found a connection in the films!

Until then, only the Northuldras seemed to know about the Fifth Spirit, but there is another group that knows about Elsa's power and how it works, the ice collectors!

In the opening song of Frozen they talk about her, and I know this was just a resource used and aimed at us, but when we go back to the world of Frozen it's interesting for them to know.

Despite this, I don't think they stayed out of the forest the day it was sealed, but rather that it was a group that went to Arendelle much earlier and their legends ended up being diluted over time.

As shown in the novel Dangerous secrets (ch. 22), the ice harvesters clothes are apparently so similar to those of the Northuldra that Iduna mistakes an ice harvester woman for her own people.

This passage also reveals a lot of other interesting stuff: the ice harvesters are nomads just like the Northuldra and sing the same kind of songs. I also find the line about the Northuldra having "expanded quite a bit before the day of the dam" interesting as it could mean there had been Northuldra living outside of the mist for over 30 years by the time of the movies.

Outside the movies and novels, a few comic books show that other members of Kristoff's people appear to be limited to only two lines of profession: ice harvesting and reindeer herding, possibly indicating they are only allowed to have these jobs and that they possibly belong to a different class than other Arendelle citizens.

There is an interesting comic called This land is our land that brings up a conflict between reindeer herders and muskox farmers and I've always seen it as a parallel to real-life conflicts of interest between the Sámi and Scandinavian settlers. In the end though, both groups are convinced they are dependent on each other.

One reindeer herder named Yan reappears in the comic Reindeer games.

Also about magic, I've always found it interesting Kristoff wasn't the slightest bit surprised about Anna's question about seeing magic on the North Mountain and I do fancy the idea that his people has a deeper connection with folklore and mythology and treat magic as something more "everyday" compared to the average Arendellian (although that could of course be unique to him as he grew up with trolls).
