//i have like a really really major hankering for a frozen AU like i talked with alois mun about it for a little bit but itās been living rent free in my head for likeā¦ 2 weeks now lmao (esp with all those cool dresses ive been doodling, bc those all fit into that specific AU), but like if we threw out all the dumb shit that di/sney does with their characters and plots lol so no more trolls, no weird inconsistent betrayal plot point, etc, unless itās like,, something you feel inspired by, then we can like talk about it?? bc i really like everything to do with this world, except the fact that it was written by disney who have no idea how to actually write womenās empowerment lmao anyways
//rene doesnāt hurt someone else, he ends up hurting himself with his own powers (thus creating his signature streaky hair, which are brighter silver in this AU instead of the more blended greys of his usual hair color). He also scars his hands, which is the main reason why he wears gloves (which i always seem to forget whenever i draw him in dresses, ugh).
//his storyline is also very much about freedom of expression, but taking on a more āidentityā route (i guess more like frozen 2). I also justā¦ a lot of random fun headcanons about him
//he looks even more like a corpse than usual in this AU, bc heās literally frozen, like the reason why he doesnāt feel coldness is bc his body is basically always at 0C or below. He can be warmed up by external sources, but he doesnāt provide his own heat (kinda like a reptile lmaoo cold blooded or some magic thing blah blah blah). When he blushes, his skin starts to look like a regular healthy human beingās. If heās outside in the cold for a long time, he can start to look a bit like a walking corpseāhis bad joints are a result of being so cold all the time and also not really doing self care or anything. Hot baths are a nightmare, he might melt.
//heās also very cold to the touch (another reason why his primary design will probably have him wearing long sleeves, gloves, long pants, etc etc, all buttoned up and stuff, to prevent people from touching him directly). If itās warm and humid heād probably form condensation on his skin lmaoooo and he can freeze people with a touch, if heās consciously doing it.
//also like i feel like he wouldnāt just wander into a forest and create a giant castle, heās too much of a disaster for that, heād wander into a forest, stumble into a river or like do other clumsy shit bc heās a spoiled rich boy who has never run or climbed or done any mountaineering for a single minute in his whole life, climb out, walk another short distance, then fall asleep next to a log, and the next day someone finds him and thinks heās a corpse, goes to investigate, wakes him up, and he freaks them the fuck out bc the person who discovered him thought he was dead (this just,, idk im just very attached to this idea bc i think itās funny ghasdlkfjhsl like rene sleeping peacefully, looking like a very run of the mill frozen corpse, then suddenly standing up amidst the cracking and creaking of a thousand old man joints and also the ice that formed on him while he was asleep). By the end heād probably not look the best, like torn clothes (even if he magicked himself a new outfit), matted hair, skeletal looking thinness, discolored skin, etc, yāknow, like the ice witch that elsa was supposed to look like, before they decided to make her more marketable and gave her eyeliner and makeup and shit
