disney concept art: the most beautiful dynamic original thing i have ever seen
disney finished project: rubber same face minimalism regurgitated plots
concept art:
final version:
What makes me so mad is that snow queen is such a lovely tale and there was an evil mirror that shattered and froze the queen’s heart. So the first thing the newly evil queen does is PLUNGE THE KINGDOM INTO ETERNAL WINTER.
And the kid Anna is based off of is actually this sweet peasant girl who is rescuing her best friend whom everyone else thought drowned and whom no one cared for because mirror shards got in his eyes and he only saw beauty in snowflakes while everything else was just disgustingly foul to him. Except he didn’t drown because he was whisked away by the snow queen.
Like this girl gives her shoes to the river to find out he didn’t drown. Her hair ribbons to the birds to find out who took him. Works her hands raw to get to him and has to suffer a mental breakdown because she got SO FUCKING CLOSE to saving him and he won’t even look at her because he wants to solve this puzzle the snow queen gave him.
And then her sobbing wakes him up and he cries and washes the shards from his eyes and the fact that she saved him is enough to melt the snow queens heart and she brings spring back to the kingdom.
Wow Frozen really is some weak shit
Let’s not forget Gerda’s journey takes her along a long road that includes meetings with multiple women, many of them old, most of whom are not evil witches but wise women who aid her in her quest. She’s also at one point held captive by a bandit princess who swaps clothes with her and insists on sleeping in the same bed and routinely threatens her with a knife, but she eventually lets Gerda go with a magic talking reindeer she was also holding captive. The bandit princess cries because goddamn Gerda you’re so NICE and PRETTY and BRAVE and you clearly care about this stupid guy I GUESS and I can’t bear it just GO ok just GO and also you better fucking take care of her reindeer or I will CUT YOU.
The story is full of interesting complex women of many ages and magical talking animals and it’s a real shame we didn’t get an adaptation closer to the original ‘cause it’s really cool.
hey good news about the adaption:
There was a Soviet animated movie from 1957, that doesn’t brush over any of the things you just listed.
You get Gerda on her journey, meeting all of those people that both hinder her quest and help her, with older women from different regions of northern europe, as well as several princesses who aid her
also the art style and animation is absolutely gorgeous and I always feel like it’s a shame that older Soviet animation is barely recognized around the world
you can see the entire thing with english subtitles here

I’m certain I’ve seen the soviet one dubbed in english before. I loved it.
I was walking around my neighborhood and saw a bunch of police surrounding a small house for a drug bust. As I got closer, I heard the policemen barking aggressively, so naturally I was like, wtf??? And one of them caught my eye and said, “Oh, we’re trying to scare them out of there,” and minutes later a bunch of furries came out the house whimpering and shit.

Hey Bec I just want you to know that the concept of Dashiell Robert Parr being deleted entirely from the Incredibles canon was so funny to me that I had a ten-minute meltdown on my girlfriend’s living room floor and then started crying because my gut hurt so bad from laughing that I thought I was gonna throw up. Thanks
The only acceptable icing is buttercream. Whipped icing is a cowards choice and fondant people are demons and gotta meet me in the street for their poor life choices that led them to accept Play-Doh as acceptable cake decoration
turn on ya location and we can talk
Hope you understand sign language then cause all you’re gonna be seeing is hands
Cream cheese, meringue, ganache, and glazes are all valid. (ง •̀_•́)ง me.
How the Hell have I scrolled through all the notes and you are the only person who even mentions ganache?!
Ganache is the only proper filling and icing for chocolate cake and I will take you all on.
Do you people even actually eat cake or are you all just Food Channel/GBBO hipsters with broken taste buds? 🤬
You gotta have different frostings and icings for different cakes.
If you try to come at me with anything other than glaze on a poundcake, I will slap that plate to the ground and fight you like a blonde soccer mom with an a-line bob at a bake sale.
Whipped cream on anything heavier than angel food or trifle? That’s a paddlin’.
Anything other than cream cheese frosting on red velvet or carrot cake? Square up.
PS: OP is absolutely correct on fondant. Fondant is fucking garbage. Sure, it’s a way to make your baking work look nice, but cakes are food. They shouldn’t taste like they’ve been shrink-wrapped in vaguely semi-edible plastic. I peel that shit off and it goes in the trash can. Fondant. Fuck off! Go make marzipan and shill that shit to bad candy enthusiasts.
I totally agree with Z on the different toppings for different cakes but nobody has mentioned penuche. It doesn’t work for everything but frosting that is also perfectly delicious candy on it’s own? That is a real winner! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Penuche is acceptable.
Someone upthread was saying that people don’t/can’t eat cake decorations made out of harder crystalline sugar, and I got keyed up again. I eat those! Then I remembered I’m one of those Pokémon shiny level rare folks who purchases Jordan almonds and eats them independent of weddings. Those are basically what they taste like to me, except softer and with less almond flavor.
I also eat those horrifying corners of sheet cakes with decorative piped flowers. Unless it’s a grocery store cake/cupcake with a dye in the red family (red, orange, pink, especially vivid or neon variants). That dye has a really unpleasant flavor.
I think we need to talk about sprinkles and what kinds of cake topping they can be combined with, or whether they should be banned from cakes and restricted to ice cream and cookies. I can go either way!
I wonder if I could find someone who decorated a wedding cake with those tart sugared fruit slices. Gummy candy on a cake sounds like an hilarious disaster. But it would be aesthetic!
I’m gonna send this post to T and preempt her: strong cake opinions are probably a large factor in my pre-diabetes. 😅
