Some Traditional Art...

(Click on it for the actual resolution in case Tumblr messed it up)

Omg a non TWST art it's probably going to flop so hard but lmao i guess I'll just accept that. Yeet I haven't drawn anything RWBY in a year... I'm hyped asf for Volume 8's continuation lol. I was planning on posting this on 2021 but I finished early so yeet lol

ALSO TWST MUTUALS GET INTO RWBY PARA ASTIG LOLOLOLOLOL

If you went back in time by two years and told my past self that a character who was killed by Cinder in the Volume 8 finale would eventually be brought back in a part-human, part-robot body, and then you told me that that character is Watts, I probably would have immediately exploded right then and there in front of you

I don't know what, but there's something about how it was specifically Penny's blades that separated Ruby from Crescent Rose here

Oscar Pine lays down a Salem diss track, leaves immortal witch shocked and dismayed at his based accusations

(+He had some help from Professor Ozpin)

I’ve had these concepts in my drafts for almost a year 💀

Is that ASGARD in my FROZEN??? (unsubtle rainbow bridge) Is that Ymir's shadow hunting them?? Are we making Atohallan = Muspellheim??? :0 Is Elsa a Vanir in 2027???? HELPPP (we are SO getting a complicated second layer to where her powers come from)

+no shot, if anyone sneaks canon comparisons between Elsa and Fenrir into this, I'll need to be fettered

I know we explore Norse mythology plenty in the Frozen expanded material. We get Skøll as Hans' heartless in KH3, draugr in Polar Nights, and viking constellations in Forest of Shadows (they also pull Aren's mythical sword out of a viking dragon-ship and use it to fight a giant nattmara wolf, so). Usually a lot of the viking-age Scandinavian legend, such as creatures mentioned in the Eddas, are tied to specifically Arendelle's history though.

This promo seems to imply that the Enchanted Forest has some connection with Asgard (I am assuming it is Asgard for now). Or at least we are geographically taking off from there.

Which could come at the expense of Northuldra story? Diff culture. Not every fairytale race is related to the Enchanted Forest, or needs to be-- we have the trolls in the Valley of the Living Rock and Huldrefólk at Miner's Mountain. Although! Nøkk is a more Norse legend as well, yet acts as Northuldra's respected water spirit, so: not unlikely that the Northuldra may honor the existence of Norse spirits. (They may not even appear much at all.)

ohhh fuck. i can smell the magnus chase crossovers three years away. what have you DONE /lh

but I'm just so so excited. What if the crystals from F2 were runic and Anna learned galdr so she could have a moment like Gerda's magic prayer in the Snow Queen? What if we had magical ravens, like the talking ravens in the Hans Christian Andersen fable? What if Elsa argued with the Nornir about destiny, or Olaf bantered with Heimdall and unintentionally caused Ragnarok? What if Kristoff accidentally used Andvari's ring for the vows and gave us the most glorious Disney dragon moment since Maleficent? And come on, Anna with a battleaxe and bloodlust?!

Ironically, first seeing this was the direction after F2, I felt unfavorably about stacking on brand new lore, thinking it might rehash the "newfound community arc" which would make it infuriatingly harder to develop old and new relationships from previous movies (for weak reasons)

This is because Elsa's new power from Frozen II wasn’t really something magical: she still has ice, she’s always had ice, and it’s not like her ice got any more OP than it already was. (F1 already proved she can bring snowmen to life, build entire castles in less than five minutes, and freeze a whole ass fjord. I don't think stopping the flood or talking to a sentient glacier topped all that.) What she gained was fellowship with other magical beings and people who understand magic-- a community to help. Not to mention the closure in knowing that her mother would have accepted her, affirmation that she has a purpose, and freedom to assume new roles.

I do want the new movie to spend time using the new lore to steady our characters though, not the other way around. Can't always become something new to move forward, yknow? Gotta nurture what she has instead of breaking the absolute ceiling eventually.

but seeing them break the absolute ceiling is liberating every time so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

actually wait. who's running arendelle right now?

First piece of concept art for Frozen 3 (2027) by Brittney Lee revealed at D23 Expo 2024

are MMD redraws normal? does anyone actually hyperfixate on watching MMDs enough to make fanart of them?

'cause I watched @britishmindslave's MMD of the Destiny trio flashdancing to Heroes Tonight for a full week back in November and it inspired me to make this. Please go watch the original video on their YT you won't regret it

I drew & printed a bunch of mini Xions

they're inspired by Tim Peacock’s comic Hole.
