sorry!

2. known weather facts about Arendelle's seasons from the films, books and comics: a) sunny spring with pleasant temperatures b) mild to sometimes very hot summers, mountain peaks in the surrounding area are snow-free c) pleasant autumn, very fertile for harvests and livestock farming d) snowy, long and dark winters

Note: based on the assumed location in the real world, the probability of seeing the Northern Lights is close to zero, as Arendelle would be far too far south of the Arctic Circle (so in the Frozen universe the Arctic Circle must have simply been placed further south). Only from Bodø, Norway, which lies within the Arctic Circle, and further north, does the probability of seeing the Northern Lights increase. Tromsø - the Arctic capital, known for the iconic Arctic Cathedral and the Polar Museum - is one of the most popular destinations for this and is famous for the midnight sun in summer. Winter is the high season there. The highest activity for the Aurora Borealis is in spring (March/April) and autumn (September/October) and is best seen in cold, dry weather and clear dark skies.

3. comparable reference locations in Norway (north/south line), based on the map of virtual-winter (based on a map design of the ‘Golden Age’, where the prime meridian is somewhere in the Atlantic and therefore places Arendelle in the middle of the North Sea, still off the west coast of Norway, here 62°15'N 0°E): a) a few kilometres south of Ålesund (harbour town on the west coast, located at the entrance to the Geirangerfjord) b) Ørsta, in the province of Møre og Romsdal, village on the innermost part of Ørstafjorden, surrounded by the Sunnmørsalpene mountains c) The village of Volda, in the province of Møre og Romsdal, about 10 kilometres southwest of Ørsta, on the northeastern shore of the Voldsfjorden. d) Straumshamn, a village in the province of Møre og Romsdal at the southern end of the Kilsfjord branch of the Voldsfjorden. The Bjørkedalen valley runs south of Straumshamn and cuts between the Sunnmørsalpene mountains. e) Bjørkedal, in the county of Møre og Romsdal, between Nordfjordeid and Volda by the Bjørkedalsvatnet lake. Not far south of Bjørkedal is the border between Møre og Romsdal and the province of Vestland. f) Nordfjordeid, a picturesque small town in the province of Vestland, situated on the banks of the Edisfjord and surrounded by impressive mountains and unspoilt nature. Note: Bergen is on the one hand far too far south - almost on a par with the ‘southern islands’ - and on the other hand has a high probability of rain 268 days a year! Options b) and c) are therefore comparatively the most likely. Hint: @virtual-winter has transferred the coordinates on Iduna's map in Frozen II into real-world coordinates. According to this, Arendelle would be in the centre of Finland, near the town of Pieksämäki (see picture below). In this context, I highly recommend reading his 39-page PDF analysis ‘An Odyssey through Frozen Geography’ in the updated version from September 2023! LINK

How I feel talking to those who missed the obvious transfem coding of Jax:

LIKE… HELLO???

NOTE: THE PHOTOS OF THE MOVIE SCENE WERE NOT TAKEN BY ME! I FOUND THEM IN A DISCORD SERVER OF PEOPLE CHATTING ABOUT THE MOVIE

-the whole scene with Ribbit putting a bow on Jax’s head and saying “your secret is safe with me” after she vented all her problems. (This is like the most obvious reveal)

-Jax said her mother laughed in her face when she revealed something “personal”, which caused an argument. (Then with Ribbit putting the bow on Jax’s head after this was told, hints that the personal thing was her being transfem)

-Gooseworx is trans herself, and has stated that Jax isn’t just her favorite character, but a self insert character, and one she projects her own inner “demons” onto.

-goose states that Jax mainly bullies girls because “He has issues he hasn't worked out with himself yet.”

-Jax was originally designed to be a girl.

-Goose has posted drawings of Jax as a woman

-Jax’s character design is made with pinks and purples which are often feminine colors

-Jax has an overly feminine room he hides from everyone else

-When entering the circus, Jax chose her own name, which choosing/changing your name can be a trans thing

-Jax’s pressure to be super masculine was forced on her by her parents. Her dad who left her, and her abusive mom who wanted Jax to be more like her dad.

-Jax says “My ears and tail are kind of the pinnacle of masculinity.” And then his tail is gone, symbolizing his loss of masculinity or struggle with it.

-goose has drawn Jax saying “I READ SOMEWHERE THAT TAKING PROGESTERONE MAKES YOU BETTER AT GAMBLING” (which is a drug for mtf transition)
