THE SHELL SHOCK TANGO
This filk sprung from an idea I had tonight of doing a Cell Block Tango with the ladies of The Big Four expanded fandom. It's all for the sake of the characters and the things that happen in the films.
The title comes from the fact that they're all traumatized by the offences they have commited. It's a fine pun with the original title, don't you think?
The following filk contains violence (you ought to watch this with discretion), a crackship or two (maybe even more!), and gratuitous German.
Readers beware!
THE SHELL SHOCK TANGO
Dedicated to everyone at class
[Captain of the Corona Royal Guard]
And now, the Six Merry Murderesses of Corona State Prison
in their rendition of the Shell Shock Tango!

They had it coming,
they had it coming,
they only had themselves to blame...
If you had been there,
if you had seen it,
I bet my life you'd done the same!
[Toothiana]
You know how people have these little habits that get you down.
Like... Jack Frost.
Jack loved to freeze things.
No, not frost. FREEZE.
So I come to headquarters this one day, and I'm really irritated,
and I'm looking for a little more sympathy.
And there's Jack Frost, lying on a couch, freezing the glass he's drinking from.
No, not frosting. FREEZING.
So, I said to him:
"Jack, you freeze something one more time..."
And he did.
So I summoned two Baby Teeth, and I fired them as a warning
INTO HIS EYES.
He had it coming,
he had it coming,
he only had himself to blame...
If you had been there,
if you had seen it,
I bet my life you'd done the same!
[Calhoun]
I met Honey Lemon at San Fransokyo University, about two years ago.
And she told me she was single.
And we hit it off right away.
So, we started living together.
She'd go to her research, she'd come home, I'd fix her a drink, we'd have supper...
And then I found out.
"Single", she told me...
Single my arse!
She had six significant others.
One of those sentai, you know.
So that night, when she came home from her research, I fixed her a drink, as usual.
You know, some scientists just can't hold their iocaine!
She had it coming,
she had it coming,
she took a hot shot in her prime,
and then she used her,
and she abused her...
It was a murder, but not a crime!
[Astrid]
Now, I'm standing in the stables,
checking out our dragons before training,
minding my own business,
and in storms my rival Snoutlout in a jealous rage!
"You've been screwing Hiccup!", he says.
He was berserk, and he kept on screaming:
"You've been screwing Hiccup!"
And then, he ran into my battle axe.
He ran into my axe ten times.
If you had been there,
if you had seen it,
I bet my life you'd done the same!
[Rapunzel]
Aber warum bin ich eigentlich hier?
Die Leute sagen, dass ich meinen Geliebten in einer Falle lockte
und dass ich ihm in den Rücken gestossen habe.
Das ist nicht wahr! Ich bin unschuldig!
Ich weiss nicht warum Frau Gothel sagt, dass ich es getan habe.
Ich versuchte dem Königspaar alles zu erklären.
Aber sie haben es nicht verstanden.
[Astrid]
Yeah, but did you do it?
[Rapunzel]
Uh-uh! Not guilty!
[Elsa]
My sister Anna and I had this double act,
and my fiancé Hans travelled around with us.
Now, for the last number in our act, we did these twenty acrobatic tricks in a row:
one, two, three, four, five,
somersaults, triple flips, back flips, flip flops,
one right after the other.
So this one night before the show,
we're down at the Hotel Weselton.
The three of us, quaffing and laughing together...
And we ran out of ice.
So I go out to get some.
I take off my gloves, I concentrate...
Let it go! Let it go!
The cold never bothered me anyway!
I come back, open the door...
And there's Anna and Hans, doing Number Seventeen:
Love is an Open Door!
Well, I was in such a state of shock...
I completely blacked out.
I don't remember a thing.
Absolute zero.
It wasn't until later,
when I was putting on my gloves to conceal the blood on my hands,
I even knew they were dead.
They had it coming
they had it coming
they had it coming all along...
I didn't do it,
but if I'd done it,
how could you tell me that I was wrong?
they had it coming all along...
I didn't do it,
but if I'd done it,
how could you tell me that I was wrong?
[Mavis]
I loved the Once-ler more than I can probably say.
He was a really artistic guy... sensitive... a musician.
But he was always trying to find himself.
He'd go out every night looking for himself,
and on the way...
he found Merida, Ruffnut, Tara... and Jamie.
I guess you can say we broke up because of artistic differences.
He saw himself as alive
and I saw him DEAD.
they had it coming all along...
I didn't do it,
but if I'd done it,
how could you tell me that I was wrong?
They had it coming,
they had it coming,
they only had themselves to blame...
If you had been there,
if you had seen it,
I bet my life you'd done the same!
Annotations:
People say that I tricked my lover into a trap,
and that I stabbed him in the back.
That is not true! I'm innocent!
I don't know why Frau Gothel says I did it.
I've tried to explain it to the royals,
but they didn't understand!"

Annotations:
- 0: Six is an intertextual shout-out to new film Big Hero 6, from which Honey Lemon comes. Weselton is for the Dukedom of Weselton in Frozen. Corona is Rapunzel's, Flynn's, and Gothel's homeland.
- 1: A Baby Tooth is one of Toothiana's hummingbird-sized mini fairy servants.
- 2: Calhoun/Honey sounds like a crack pairing, yet, as foils to each other, they may have a good start.
- A sentai (Japanese for "regiment") is a team of colour-coded superheroes, like the Pretty Cures, Sailor Senshi, or Power Rangers. Honey Lemon is the Smart Gal of the titular sentai in Big Hero 6. And yes, a seventh member joins them in the end.
- Iocaine is a poison, in the form of powder, which kills the drinker like lightning, featured in the classic fantasy The Princess Bride. There is some irony here, because Honey Lemon is a Chemistry student.
- 3: Astrid's weapon of choice is a battle axe.
- A berserk is a Viking warrior in drug-induced rage. Snoutlout, anyone?
- 4: Translating Rapunzel's German-language rant:
People say that I tricked my lover into a trap,
and that I stabbed him in the back.
That is not true! I'm innocent!
I don't know why Frau Gothel says I did it.
I've tried to explain it to the royals,
but they didn't understand!"
- 5: Elsa would have no problem in fixing more ice with her powers.
- "Love is an Open Door" is the title of Hans and Anna's love duet in Frozen, during which they romance each other.
- Absolute zero: the lowest temperature that can be attained, 0 degrees Kelvin, -273.5 degrees Celsius. A nice self-referential pun with Elsa's ice powers.
- 6: The MavisxOnce-ler crossover ship, or Mavler, is rather popular, and I ship them sometimes (when I don't make Oncie gay)
- The Once-ler is a sensitive guy to the core, and he enjoys singing and playing the guitar.
- Oncie's alleged lovers: Merida from Brave (obviously), Ruffnut from How to Train your Dragon (the female of the fraternal twins), Tara the Leaf Queen from Epic (a more dignified and mature, older lover)... and Jamie the muggle boy from Rise of the Guardians. I usually make Oncie gay or bi, and this filk is a perfect example.
- Coda: Rapunzel's German needs translation once more: "Why have I been imprisoned?"
JACKUNZEL OTHELLO AU
Fusion with Othello: Jackunzel Style
So, this is all I have to say: this is a fusion AU with characters in the Rise of the Brave Tangled Frozen Dragons expanded universe. Ships featured (aside from Jackunzel): Jelsa, HansxElsa, Hans/Kristoff, Hans/Flynn, FlynnxAstrid. And Kristanna in the end.
The mood of this one switches irreverently from lighthearted parody to some rather dark scenes. Yes, that kind of dark. Kind of like in The Shell Shock Tango, in which everyone is badass to do the trick but the murders are retold in that sunny merry style.
Dramatis personae
STARRING
Jack Frost as Othello
Rapunzel Corona as Desdemona
Eugene Fitzherbert (AKA Flynn Rider) as Cassio
Astrid Hofferson as Bianca
Hans of the Southern Isles as Iago
Elsa of Arendelle as Emilia
Kristoff Bjorgman as Roderigo
FEATURING
Anna of Arendelle as Herself (in the role of a Barmaid/Peasant Maiden)
Tamara Jane Calhoun as Herself (in the role of the Former Governor)
The Duke of Weselton as Himself (in the role of Ludovico)

JACK FROST - A LEGEND
Now listen : Once upon a time,
There lived a foolish boy,
Who would not be contented
With any pretty toy.
But one thing did he wish for,
You ll think it very droll
For sure enough he wanted
To see the great North Pole.
He rode upon a donkey,
Once in the summer weather,
These two fit companions
Went on their way together.
They travelled through great deserts,
And forests that were greater ;
They waded through the seas, and then
Jumped over the Equator.
And so they journeyed Northward,
A long, long, weary way ;
It was a toilsome journey
For the longest summer day.
At last they reached the great North Pole,
And it, with age, was white ;
To see it there so stiff and still
It was a wondrous sight.
Then, foolish boy, he touched it
With one finger only one
But quickly he repented
What he had rashly done !
For three tall icebergs round him,
Each shook its great white head,
And then there were no icebergs there,
But three tall men instead.
" Foolish little boy,"said one,
"You shall be always cold."
The second said, "And you shall live
Till you are very old."
The third said, "You may tremble,
For all we say is true,
And everything you breathe upon
Shall be as cold as you."
And so it is we always know
When that little boy is near,
And when our lips are pinched and blue,
We say, "Jack Frost is here."
He walks about at nightfall,
And kills the poor field-mice ;
He breathes upon the rivers,
And they are turned to ice.
He passes through our gardens,
We see where he has been,
For every little blade of grass
Is white instead of green ;
And if a foolish snowdrop
Lifts up too soon its head,
He holds it in his prickly hand
Till the little thing is dead.
He stays here all the winter,
Sometimes till almost May,
Then come the gentle summer winds
And blow him quite away.

REVIEWING SAGAS: THE BIG FOUR
 |
| Game of Thrones AU. Fitting mottos, aren't they? |
 |
| Camp Half-Blood AU. Hiccup = son of Hephaestus. Jack= son of Hermes/Boreas. Merida= Hunter/Lieutenant of Artemis. Rapunzel = daughter of Apollo. |
 |
| Seasons' Guardians: Rapunzel-spring-creativity, Merida-summer-courage, Hiccup-autumn-change, Jack-winter-fun |
 |
| Adult Season Guardians (plus Toothless) |
 |
| The best looking picture of the Season Guardians I could find |
 |
| Another good picture of the Season Guardians, plus Toothless |
 |
| Benders AU. Rapunzel's got pretty long tresses for an Air Nomad novice, but still... |
 |
| Hogwarts AU. If you wonder, Hiccup's a Hufflepuff and Jack's a Slytherin. Don't they look good in uniform? |
 |
| Hogwarts AU: A nap in the courtyard, between lessons. Here, Jack's and Hiccup's ties can be seen. |
 |
| Another Hogwarts picture (with Short-haired!Rapunzel), which showcases their personalities |
 |
| Above: with Living!Jack and Long-haired!Rapunzel. Below: with Undead!Jack and Short-haired!Rapunzel. |
 |
| Beauxbatons students Elsa and Anna (Hogwarts AU) |
 |
| Another popular AU's basic premise: |
 |
| The Big Four as pirates of the Caribbean... |
 |
| ...in the late seventeenth or early eighteenth century. |
 |
| In Frozen Tangled Guardians, also known as Rise of the Frozen Tangled Daughters... |
 |
| ...Jack and Rapunzel are the parents of Anna and Elsa. |
My own review:
I support Jackunzel (JackxRapunzel) and Mericcup (MeridaxHiccup), and I have even created a pair of AUs myself. One is a 30YW AU (with all of the leading cast minus Rapunzel on the Protestant side, and based loosely on The Ringstetten Saga), there is a Nazi AU (French Resistance involved, and Eugene as its leader)...
There is a third AU I have created, a sequel featuring the Frozen Tangled Guardians (Jack + Rapunzel = Anna & Elsa) and Epic Brave Dragons (Hiccup + Merida = MK & Nod) continuities, which casts the original Season Guardians' children as their respective successors. Anna = Guardian of Spring/Innocence. Nod = Guardian of Summer/Daring. Mary Katherine = Guardian of Autumn/Knowledge. Elsa = Guardian of Winter/Passion.

I give this extended universe five stars *****

MY OWN FAIRYTALE ILLUSTRATIONS
I made these myself with Paint:
"Mrs Holle", the Grimm version of "Diamonds and Toads". The heroine, Gold-Marie, looks intendedly like Alice Liddell. She lost her spindle in the well and leaps in to retrieve it, descending to the underworld and meeting the kindly Mrs. Holle, who rewards her for her sense of duty and punishes her lazy, envious stepsister Pech-Marie (Misfortune-Marie).
"Hansel and Gretel". Love how this one turned out, with innocent children, a candy-themed wicked witch, and beautiful birch woods.
 |
"Red Riding Hood", with the transgender wolf in bed and a round yellow sun. Want to know a secret? The heroine is carrying a loaded gun in that basket...
"Snow White". I gave the dwarves different hats, including a Che Guevara one and a Santa one, just for fun.
Rapunzel, with Flynn Rider climbing up her long tress. It clearly gives the appearance of a stone tower where the heroine is imprisoned.
Three little courtiers dancing the minuet, supporting characters from an Oscar Wilde tale. They are so cute that I can't resist drawing them!
A Pietà based upon a Swedish folktale about an undine and a military officer. The two young people fall in love, but they are separated by the call of duty. He is, quite obviously, killed in battle...
