So I want to talk about Kristoff and consent
One of the fun things about Frozen is how it makes fun of the idea of love at first sight and actually examines what goes into a romantic relationship. Anna falls head-over-heels for Hans largely because she’s so desperate for company. Kristoff, her ultimate love interest, is the one who challenges this the most and points out how absurd it is to think you’ve fallen in love with someone you don’t even know.


He immediately starts giving Anna a hard time about it.

Even in the middle of their fight with wolves, he can’t resist needling her, as well as bringing up the very legitimate point that one such bad decision might be an indicator that she’s likely to make other ones.



It’s refreshing to have a Disney movie where this trope is challenged, and it serves the added bonus of building up Anna and Kristoff’s genuine relationship. But what really strikes me about it is how well the film manages to avoid taking away Anna’s agency in all this. It would be very easy to diminish her right to make her own choices in light of what a bad choice marrying Hans is, but Kristoff never does this. He might judge her and her decisions, but he also respects her right to make those choices.
When Kristoff takes Anna to meet the trolls, they immediately assume the two are romantically involved. When Kristoff tries to explain that this isn’t the case, the explanation he gives is very telling.

He doesn’t say that he’s not interested in her (which he clearly is by this point) or that she’s a princess who needs to marry a prince. The thing that makes their relationship impossible is that she has chosen someone else. Whatever he thinks of that decision, it is to be respected. And when Grand Pabbie explains that Anna needs an act of true love to save her, Kristoff doesn’t hesitate.

When it literally becomes a question of life and death, Kristoff puts Anna’s experience before his own. It doesn’t matter if he thinks her relationship with Hans is silly or premature. If she says she’s in love with him, he believes her.


Ultimately, of course, Anna and Hans don’t share any kind of love, and she comes to realize that what she has with Kristoff is a genuine relationship. But even though Kristoff knows this, he never tries to push it on her or convince her that she should choose him instead. He’ll give her his honest opinion, but ultimately he knows her decisions are her own.
The last thing I want to talk about is this scene:




By this point, Anna and Kristoff have a developed relationship. They both clearly care for one another. But still, Kristoff is careful not to make Anna uncomfortable with his advances. He asks if it’s okay to kiss her, and doesn’t do so until she has explicitly said he can.
I love that this movie manages to challenge the stereotypical narrative about love, but never devalues Anna’s agency to do so.
I was standing over a bubbling cauldron with Luna Lovegood when Thanos approached us and told us that half of everything had to go, and to pick which one of us would have to die. I asked in a ridiculously squeaky voice, “Why can’t you go? Why do we all have to endure the aftermath?”
Thanos, who was our Potions professor, went lavender in the face and decided to reconsider buying the infinity stones. I gave Iron Man a high five and had to go to the hospital for broken fingers.
“So stay safe, keep fighting and kick it in the ass.”

The Ood
Okay so I’ve seen the Ood before (or rather later) in Doctor Who episodes and have never found them particularly creepy. However, I had never seen the episode, The Satan Pit, until tonight during the Doctor Who marathon. And can I just say, there is something really creepy about the Ood crawling through the air ducts. Satan isn’t even as creepy as the Ood chasing Rose and the two others through the ducts.
