If people only could open their eyes a little...

The thing that got me the most about Helsa is how Hans was always able to understand her, like in every single scene they have ever had together he was capable of that and it felt like he wasn't even trying to do that, it was just a natural thing between them.

So when I saw this comment under one of my tiktok edits and I've decided to elaborate on that a little.

Helsa is a ship people like to hate on for no reason and it's been going for years now. Although what I've noticed lately is that even if the haters say how much they hate the ship, how dumb it is and all - they will still say Hans understood Elsa. I swear, I've had like 10000+ comments full of helsa hate but they always mention how he understood her. I don't know what's the deal about it because if people can admit that he did... why still sooooo much hate. I mean I've been here, with Helsa and tumblr since F1 came out so it is nothing new for me, we as a fandom are used to this but It really makes me upset.

It truly amazes me every day how in todays world Enemies To Lovers trope in movies, books etc is probably the most loved trope ever but yet, people deny it when it comes to Helsa???? Strange.

Idk maybe it's all caused by the Oh Anna scene that caused all of yall some huge PTSD like it happened to me, maybe that's why😂😂

idk its 2024 its time to forgive Hans 🤓

my favorite variation of Hans's redemption will always be the one where he sacrifices himself for Elsa.

they had an "unpleasant experience" in which Hans came close to, well, killing Elsa (antis' favorite argument, okay, I take it). yes, we can analyze this more deeply, find signals that he really "didn't want to" and that this was literally the only way they saw to stop winter, etc (up to Elsa's passive consent due to guilt over Anna's death, about which Hans in general did not lied), but... the fact remains that Hans came damn close to hacking Elsa down with his sword.

so I don't think we can be surprised by Elsa's reaction after all, yeah (however, I think it's more about how he hurt Anna).

I accept this for what I'm going to say next. you know, complicated relationships with the dynamics of "from enemies to lovers", "love/hate". we enjoy it.

and the hardest part of all this is that Elsa will never be able to let Hans get close enough. she won't be able to really trust him, knowing that he can manipulate and suspecting that Hans can always pursue personal goals. she has a right to be suspicious after all.

what can fix the situation? that this man would risk his own life for Elsa's survival, her life and safety. consciously, at the risk of dying and ready to accept it. because Hans, who begins to develop feelings for Elsa, will be ready to act in accordance with these feelings. but something else: Hans, who begins to develop feelings for Elsa, will himself be burdened by past actions "to kill Elsa, stop winter, become a hero and a king."

I like the poetry of it, the symbolism and how it's really redeeming: yes, in the past he came close to killing Elsa, but now he's gone so far from it that he's literally ready to die for her.

in this scenario, Elsa herself gets rid of the suspicions that are rooted inside her, because when Hans is ready to die for her, it really changes perceptions and creates a "new level".

you know, Anna too can change her extremely negative attitude and still accept Helsa relationship. of course, it's difficult when your sister, the closest person, develops her own dynamic with your ex, who manipulated you and traumatized you, and from whom you shielded her with your body in the past... however, if Anna sees that Hans almost died for Elsa, I think she will be able to accept it.

honestly, when it comes to Helsa, the fact that Hans is her ex is the last thing she'll care about (she's found her "true love," after all). she will be worried that Hans could potentially use Elsa and harm Elsa. but if she sees that Hans is really willing to sacrifice himself for Elsa... well, I'm not talking about absolute forgiveness on Anna's part (and Anna has every right not to give him forgiveness after he treated her), but acceptance in such a scenario takes place. Elsa is her top priority, after all.
