#Jack Frost

How did Jack Frost learn to fly? Here’s “Learning to Fly” by Rise of the Guardians visual development artist WoonYung Jung, inspired by an idea from Peter Ramsey.

Guys it was written in the stars that Jack would become a Guardian one day

When I was little, before I even knew the name of the constellations or what a star cluster was, I always imagined that the Pleiades were actually Jack's staff.

When I happen to look at the Seven Sisters at night I can't help but smile, thinking about that resemblance.

"Freezing is a common response to feelings of shame and trauma: shame often involves feelings of inadequacy, worthlessness, and being exposed, which can lead to a freeze response as a way to protect oneself from these feelings. Also, shame can be deeply rooted in trauma, and the freeze response is a common survival mechanism in response to traumatic experiences."

Think about this:

Jack has had to live alone, invisible to people for over 300 years. This means that, for the most part, he has always been on the sidelines, always a spectator and almost never the protagonist. He existed watching other people live their lives.

"Freezing can be a survival mechanism, like animals hiding from predators, making the person less visible. It can also be triggered by past trauma, anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed in a situation."

How many times in the movie did we see Jack feeling ashamed? Too many.

Every time something negative happens, his first thought is always one and only: it's my fault

"Shame and low self-esteem are intimately linked, often with a cause-and-effect relationship. When shame takes root, it can erode self-confidence, leading to a negative and inadequate self-perception. Low self-esteem, in turn, can make a person more vulnerable to shame, making it easier to feel judged and therefore experience shame."

Jack is not used to being seen and, when faced with danger, his thoughts are mainly two: "I'm invisible" and "I deserve it".

We see this many times:

▪︎When Jack tries to explain that it wasn't his fault when Easter was ruined (he can't explain himself because he's convinced that it was his fault)

▪︎ When, during Sandy's funeral, he stays apart, as if he was grounded. As if he wanted to punish himself. His words are "I could have done something". Hence the sense of inadequacy and low self-esteem.

▪︎When Bunnymund tells him that he is invisible, as if he didn't exist, Jack can't speak. That's because he believes so too. How many times has he thought: "do I really exist?" when people passed through him like a ghost?

There are toooo many examples that lead us to guess that Jack thinks that he's not enough and that it's always, everything, his fault.

Although, especially at the beginning of the film, he tries not to show it, Jack is a highly sensitive character. Highly sensitive persons are known for their deep emotional awareness, empathy, and strong connection to their surroundings. This sensitivity can lead to both unique strengths and potential challenges, like the examples above.

On a brighter note, highly sensitive people often have a vivid imagination and a deep appreciation for art, music, and nature, leading to a rich internal world. And I'm so glad that we can see some glimpses of this too in the film.

I swear, this movie has been thought through to the smallest detail. It's so REAL. The characters are so real.

you wanna know the fun thing that I noticed about Jack when I was rewatching rotg?

On both instances that Pitch was about to attack him, he froze up.

#I MUST read them ALLLL #I actually just read the first chapter of Prelude to Time Feelers and cried A LOT #THANK YOU WHIMZYCLE FOR SHARING THIS LIST #I'm gonna read lots of fanfictions during this summer break #giggling and kicking my feet

Hi Whimzycle! I'm a HUGE fan of your art, it makes my days brighter and I absolutely love how you draw Aster! <3 I started enjoying ROTG and the GOC saga again and I was wondering if you felt comfortable sharing your top 3 fanfics! :)

Thank you so much!

Daawwee thank you!! I appreciate it!! I used to be intimidated when it comes to drawing Bunny but lo and behold, he is the only one that I drew the most out of all the rotg cast lmao.

As for fics though...[Sweats in majority of the rotg fics I read are Jackrabbit centric]

I'll try to keep it as neutral as possible though lmao

Top 1. Prelude to Time Feelers by atimefeeler

I'm sorry I know I said I'll keep it neutral but I really can't help it. It's a really good fic, Jackrabbit notwithstanding. In my defense, the romance isn't really romancing, really they're more queer platonic that's why I like it very much. This fic is so good, genuinely. It's a reimagine of events that happen in both the book series and the movie. The fusion of both media is really well-done and it's world-building even more so! It features perspectives from Mother Nature, Bunnymund and Jack. So like, essentially, you get Mother Nature's backstory, Bunny's backstory and Jack's pov all in one chapter. It's great I love it. High tier, 10/10 fic. Though if you really aren't comfortable with the Jackrabbit part of it, it's cool. I still think you should give it a try lmao.

Top 2. My Stars and Your Valleys by ketren

This is one of the really cool ones lmao. It's a science-fiction au!!! Almost like the likes of Star Trek but it feels more like a treasure planet for me lmao (I've never seen star trek, I'm sorry I'm a degenerate lmao) One of the things that I really like about this fic is how well it incorporates elements of the movie into this fic like oh my god. Especially Jack's initial relationship with the guardians is almost like the movie and it's good, it's great I love it. Oh and the plot!! Goddamn the plot!! It's so eerie and mysterious and I love it. It keeps you interested for the entire duration of the fic, wondering what the hell is happening lmao. But oh! I most love Jack's relationship with his sister, even though it's only at the first and last chapters lmao. They're so good, I love how complex it is. It's a high tier, 10/10 fic!!! Please read it!!!!! It's so good!!!!!!!

Top 3. 188 Hugs by Icka M Chif (mischif)

Affectionate Guardians are my weakness and this fic exploits my love for it. Also, it's Jack and Bunny centric so it's a two-for two punch of things that I love. The title says it all when it comes to the plot lmao. It's essentially an exploration of Jack and Bunny's friendship through hugging lmao. It's a great fic high tier, 10/10. (Although really, any fic from this author is a 10/10) I love how it tackles the Jack is lonely for 300 years bit and the only way to dismantle that is through the power of friendship and found family. Really, the only solution to everything. And I love it, it's great, it's amazing and I feel so much joy over this fic. I really don't need to explain much lmao. This fic is just so good, I'll let it explain itself for you. So please!! Read it!!! So you can experience the immense joy I had when reading it lmao!!!!!!

Now, I know you only said my top 3, but I'm adding honorable mentions because it is a crime if I do not include any of them:
