aww yeah it's question meme time
Time to bring back one of my old faves...
Simple and easy! Here's how it goes:
1. POST a top-level with your character name
2. REPLY to other people's top-level with a question for that character
3. ANSWER the question you were asked
4. ASK a question of that person's characters in return!
We go back and forth like this asking questions in a thread until one or both of us runs out of questions!
QUESTIONS CAN BE ANYTHING. Serious or silly as you want! What does Jane think of (x)? What does Sarah have for breakfast? How many times a day does Alex masturbate? What's Tom's dream job? The only limit for questions is your imagination.
Replies can be as monosyllabic or as tl;dr are you want; it's up to you. Go wild kids!

Oh boy oh boy oh modern teenagers. They've been infantilized by their culture, in her eyes; treated and kept as children for six years longer than on her world, and not expected to have the same sorts of responsibilities or accept consequences until after Annie's age. She can't even hold it against them, they're such a product of their culture, when we talk about teenagers from MoMverse alone.
Now, imPort teens are a different story, depending on where they're from - some she feels are much younger, based on certain lacks of experiences that she and her peers have, others she finds closer to what kind of adult behavior she expects out of her peers. People like Jayden she ends up thinking of in younger terms despite him being a year older than she is, simply because the world he comes out of parallels the culture of this one so closely, and things he says at times are very much "immature" from her point of view. Not that his intelligence is, but that his breadth of experience hasn't included certain things, and it shows. Superhero kids (Wally, Jaime, Artemis, Robin) she treats more as peers, because even while they're caught up in modern dynamics of what being a teen is, they're so much closer to having had to act as adults in recent years, with those responsibilities and expectations. Not quiiiite right, but closer! It's the same with many of the shounen and video game characters from Eastern Media (the Kill la Kill cast, Persona cast, Ken Kaneki) in that they have aspects that come across as closer to her expectations of people at those ages, but by and large, she wonders why the hell people don't act more responsible - they're all old enough!
What does ring true as similar is the emotional impact of situations on all of them, because hormones are hormones at that age, and emotional experiences simply hit harder regardless of the culture. How the AoT kids handle those hard hitting moments is with more kind of... at least with tears, more freedom than modern culture in the US allows, and I think she'd find it weird if people weren't crying in times of high emotion, because... even Annie and Mikasa do, and Mikasa is the most emotionally repressed of her peers. TOTALLY FOCUSED NO NONSENSE crying when Eren proves to still be alive, crying in happiness for the good things right before she thinks they're going to die SO her other disconnect comes from the ways people talk about crying as if it's bad around here, and that does... tie into teenagers. Whatever guys, feel what you feel. It's okay!
Question: What does Elsa find the most difficult to adapt to in this modern world?
no subject
As for what was hardest to adapt to! As a cast we agreed to say that Frozen takes place in the 1860s-ish (a magical and anachronism-filled 1860s), so she was seeing the beginnings of the technology that's out now. It's been weird skipping completely past the context of how telegraphs were replaced by telephones and fax machines and email, but she can at least make a connection in her mind. There's still been a learning curve, and she's pretty clueless as to a lot of what technology is capable of (she's figured out the internet as far as using google goes but anything more complex than scrolling wikipedia is beyond her), but she's been getting the hang of it. Stuff like the microwave and the toaster are some of the coolest things to her (you can make food like instantly okay it's amazing).
Technology aside, I think her biggest challenge has been the informality and the reach of information, just how much people are able to know about things they aren't involved in. Royalty are celebrities even in her time, but there was still a lot of privacy involved, and no one really knew much about her. Now people think it's fine to do things like take pictures of their lawmakers or celebrities while they're just out with their family or doing mundane things or even in their house and she thinks that's pretty crazy. And you can just learn so much about everybody. What if the people that get talked about in magazines don't want everyone to know they're going into rehab or they're getting married at this place on this day? Apparently everyone has decided this is their business!
tl;dr Elsa has privacy issues and people in the 21st century seem cool with invading anyone's privacy once they blip on the public radar, worst thing about the future tbh
QUESTION: would Annie considering going on to college or some other secondary school if she stayed long enough?
no subject
Annie really only would if a) she's around long enough and b) she finds some goal or objective that requires that sort of education. It comes down to a relative worth and time investment, and how like a semi-permanent situation she ends up treating this place.
QUESTION: Does Elsa have a short term plan for MoMverse? Does she have a long term plan if she ends up stuck here for a significant amount of time, verging on years?
no subject
Okay seriously, she doesn't really have one right now. She enjoys her life here and she enjoys working in the antique store and she's pretty happy right where she is, all things considered. The developments with the government are worrisome, but right now her only contribution on that front is to donate money to unsettled imPorts and help them if she can.
Long term: Elsa's plan is that if she ends up getting to stay here the rest of her life (as she'd like to do), she might go on to college or math or history or something like that. She learned a lot as queen, of course, but she's interested in the chance to learn more, especially with how much the world has changed.
If things for imPorts keep going south, her queen side won't be able to avoid it anymore and she'll get more involved, but for now she's just keeping that on her radar and trying to keep her head down.
I'm starting to hit the food questions now: what's Annie's favorite kind of food (like Chinese, Italian, etc)?
no subject
but she is enjoying trying new things along her cautious way, and she's been introduced to vegan ice cream, which is nice SHE CAN EAT IT NO PROBLEM as long as it's not too sweet whoops
this kind of shoots off sideways into the sunset, but do you think Elsa will ever feel comfortable getting close to another person in a personal, maybe even romantic sense, once she's come to terms with accepting herself and her emotions for what they are - hers, and okay to feel and have and experience?
