Line #49 Creator/FrolloFreak


1	Frollo Freak and [=CrazedWriter=] are the pen names of a FanFic writer focused primarily on ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame\|Disney}}'', specifically the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon version.
2
3	She wrote about Danisha Wood, a time-traveling teacher who is Frollo's OneTrueLove. She is introduced in ''Fanfic/BackToTheFrollo''. However, Frollo is still allowed to have somewhere in the vicinity of 30 other women as mistresses. Danisha and her future friends have zany adventures in the past while Frollo can come forward in time to hang out in the future (circa 1997).
4
5	The thing about Frollo Freak is that it is clear when you visit her [[http://crazedwriter.lbbhost.com/index.html website]] that she couldn't distinguish herself from her character. She wrote an entire series about her/Danisha's affair with Frollo, who goes from a racist murderer who raises Quasimodo as penance to a man who is fair and is a good if stern parent to the bell ringer. That other characterization? Was a [[http://crazedwriter.lbbhost.com/revealed.html ruse created by the gypsies.]]
6	----
7	!!Frollo Freak's writing includes examples of:
8
9	* AffectionateNickname: Danisha calls Frollo "sugarbritches" a lot. In [[http://crazedwriter.lbbhost.com/fanfiction/dibym1.html Didn't It Blow Your Mind, Claude Frollo?]], a sequel to ''FanFic/BackToTheFrollo'', Iggy calls Phoebus "Jethro." A lot of people tend to call Danisha a "Nubian princess."
10	* AlternateTimeline: ''Back to the Frollo'' seems to indicate that this is the case—Danisha and co. regularly bring 90s' technology back to the Middle Ages and spread it far and wide, playing country music for important political figures and holding city-wide festivals that basically just celebrate rural America. They even tell their 1400s friends about the outcomes of wars and the creation of new countries. Despite all of this, though, whenever the protagonists return to the 90s, everything is exactly the same, and introducing loads of new technology into 1400s Paris never changes the future at all.
11	** This was later abandoned in ''Didn't It Blow Your Mind, Claude Frollo?'', in which the protagonists suddenly come to the conclusion that causing even minor changes to the past can have massive repercussions in the future. They, of course, immediately ignore this revelation, and continue to tell people from the past about the events of the future and drastically change the course of multiple peoples' lives. This has zero negative effects whatsoever.
12	* AnachronismStew: Most of her time-travel "Claude and Me" stories are like this. Sometimes it's because Danisha and her friends bring all sorts of modern tech back to the 1400s, and sometimes it's because Frollo Freak didn't do the research required to portray the middle ages accurately.
13	* AuthorAppeal:
14	** Every scene with Frollo in it, whether he's the villain (like in ''The Disney Seven'') or the hero (''Claude & Me.'') To most readers, it comes across as FanDisservice, but it's obvious that the author really enjoys writing about [[DracoInLeatherPants Frollo in leather pants]], true to her name.
15	** Characters tend to talk about certain parts of world history with astonishing frequency, regardless of their location, level of education, or even time period (with time travel, sometimes they're talking about world ''future.'') Even medieval French peasants are obsessed with time periods like the American Civil War, and Frollo loves the 6th century Byzantine empress Theodora even though strong, sexually empowered women (other than Danisha) are usually a bit of a sore spot for him. Frollo Freak herself is a history teacher, and it's pretty clear that the only reason her characters like these specific historical periods is because they're her favorite topics to teach.
16	** Most of her stories take place in small Midwestern towns, and there's a lot of discussion about why said Midwestern towns are wonderful, welcoming places to live. Even if the story itself doesn't take place in a Midwestern village, odds are that at least one main character will hail from a similar location and do a lot of talking about how great their hometown is.
17	** One of the antagonists from ''Back to the Frollo'' is a young boy who's based on one of Frollo Freak's problem students. His presence is basically an excuse for her to talk about how annoying he is.
18	* BerserkButton: Besides Danisha's reaction to being mistaken for a gypsy, she also doesn't react well when anyone threatens her beloved Frollo.
19	* BigBeautifulWoman: Danisha. She is described as "curvy" and "voluptuous" yet is considered beautiful by people other than Frollo. He may be considered a ChubbyChaser.
20	* BurlyDetectiveSyndrome: ''Constantly.'' ''Didn't It Blow Your Mind, Claude Frollo?'' is absolutely rife with this. It doesn't help that she tends to refer to characters as "the [InformedAttribute] [Profession Name]," like "the foolish soldier" for Phoebus.
21	* ButterflyOfDoom: Played with. ''Didn't It Blow Your Mind, Claude Frollo?'' indicates that this might be the case; Fern mentions that changing anything in the past, no matter how small, can drastically change the future. However, the protagonists all immediately forget about this, and their constant meddling with the past never hurts them in any way—the ButterflyOfDoom winds up being more of a Butterfly of Hope, as it only helps the characters, never hurts them.
22	* CasualTimeTravel: Every work in the "Claude & Me" series has this. People regularly travel from 1990s America to 1400s France with relatively little fanfare, and although characters sometimes state that changing the past can affect the future, the protagonists' constant meddling with the Middle Ages never actually has any negative effects.
23	* ChangedMyJumper: Danisha and her friends walk around medieval Paris wearing very 90s clothes, some of which the author describes as pretty revealing, and nobody ever notices or cares (unless they're remarking on how cool the clothes are, how attractive Danisha is, or both.)
24	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Esmeralda is dragged away to be tortured at the end of ''Back to the Frollo'' and is never seen again. Nobody ever mentions her after the fact–including Phoebus, who was married to her at one point–and people seem to forget that she ever existed. Nobody mentions her dying or escaping, but Frollo never comes across her in the Palace of Justice, either. She's just inexplicably gone.
25	* ColdBloodedTorture: In [[http://crazedwriter.lbbhost.com/fic2003/disney7-1.html The Disney Seven]], Frollo has a torture chamber set up. [[spoiler: He ends up in it.]]
26	* CreatorProvincialism: Danisha goes back in time to medieval France. Does she spend time trying the native foods? Listening to the traditional and contemporary music? Learning the history and local stories? Of course not! She--and her companions--spread American culture throughout 15th century Paris. They teach the kids how to play baseball, kickball and other games you will find on American playgrounds. And American history -- or rather, American ''future'' -- as well as American literature. Danisha--and clearly Frollo Freak--is from Indiana, so she puts emphasis on foods like fried chicken, mashed potatoes, pecan pie, ice cream, lemonade, etc. They turn medieval Paris into a small Midwestern town. When they go to the future, Danisha takes Frollo around places Frollo Freak must frequent. It also happens in [[http://crazedwriter.lbbhost.com/fic2003/disney7-1.html The Disney Seven]] where Walroy is described as being in the Midwest.
27	* CreatorsCultureCarryover: Most of Frollo Freak's medieval characters speak American English, have contemporary American cultural traditions, and care a lot about American history and politics, even though America doesn't exist yet in their timeline.
28	%%* DerailingLoveInterests: The ''Claude & Me'' series does this with Phoebus and Esmeralda first, then Frollo and his other mistresses later.
29	* DramaticEllipsis: She had a tendency of ending... her sentences... with awkwardly-placed ellipses... intended to be dramatic...
30	* FelonyMisdemeanor: In [[http://crazedwriter.lbbhost.com/fic2003/disney7-1.html The Disney Seven]], Frollo takes over a town and does the awful, awful thing of changing the annual Founder's Day picnic into a (gasp) formal luncheon! He also cancels the annual basketball game between the high school team and a team comprised of Creator/{{Disney}} characters. Everyone gets all upset over this, despite the fact that Cruella de Vil is making their children work in her sweatshop.
31	* FoodPorn: Danisha loves to cook. Also, her family tends to offer her food as incentives to return to the future.
32	* ForgotAboutHisPowers: In ''On the Edge of Time'', Danisha is sold into slavery. She has her pager, which doubles as a time travel device, but never considers using it to escape.
33	** All of the characters in general just forget that they have access to easy, consequence-free CasualTimeTravel whenever they want. In never occurs to Frollo to travel back in time to stop the thieves from stealing Theodora's box in ''Didn't It Blow Your Mind, Claude Frollo?''; instead, he hatches a complicated plan involving multiple duplicates and an astounding amount of luck.
34	** Frollo also sometimes forgets that he's a powerful judge. Half of the drama in ''Didn't It Blow Your Mind'' happens because one of his students was falsely accused of a crime. Frollo knew it was a false accuastion, and he probably could have pardoned the student, but he (and everyone else) just ''forgot'' that he's a public figure with power and influence.
35	* FutureSlang: In ''Didn't It Blow Your Mind, Claude Frollo?'', Iggy calls Frollo "slick," then has to explain that it's 20th-century slang.
36	* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: Danisha. If she's wearing anything, it will nearly always be purple.
37	* HairTriggerTemper: Danisha becomes a 'dissed sistah' almost at the drop of a hat.
38	* HeadTurningBeauty: Every time a scene is written from a male characters' perspective, Danisha will be described like this. Frollo think she's the best and prettiest out of all of his mistresses, and even men who aren't romantically involved with her constantly describe her as drop-dead gorgeous, even going so far as to call her a "goddess" or "Aphrodite."
39	* {{Hypocrite}}:
40	** Frollo Freak seemed to think that Esmeralda is a gold-digging whore, but when you look at the reasons on her site on why Frollo is a "hearthrob" his money is at the top of the list.
41	** Danisha is quick to classify herself as a BigBeautifulWoman, but other women are just fat.
42	* IdiotBall: Her characters tend to pick this up every time a major conflict occurs. It's most notable in the ''Claude & Me'' series, in which characters ''constantly'' forget that they have access to time machines. And if they do remember that time travel exists, they almost always wind up using it in an incredibly stupid way that complicates the plot even more. And then, to make it even more obvious, the characters will rub how smart they are in the bad guys' faces, which comes across as very arrogant and silly when the reader can see that there was a much easier solution that they didn't take.
43	%%* TheImmodestOrgasm: [[http://www.angelfire.com/crazy2/scribbler/purple/peaches2.html According to this...]]
44	* InformedAttribute:
45	** Frollo is allegedly a horndog, with at least thirty lovers who could never be tied down to one woman. In practice, he's completely devoted to Danisha. Across multiple stories, the other [=FSMs=] only show up twice. Once as a band of [[AbhorrentAdmirer Abhorrent Admirers]] and once as plot device who overheard important information when showed up hoping to have sex with Frollo, while he was out having sex with Danisha.
46	** Everybody talks about Iggy's wasted potential, but we never see anything to indicate this.
47	** Phoebus is consistently called stupid by other characters, but never once does he do anything particularly idiotic. Most of his "dumb jock" moments in ''Didn't It Blow Your Mind, Claude Frollo?'' happen because he accidentally ate a bunch of edibles, but he could hardly be blamed for that, seeing as he's from Medieval France and had no way of knowing what edibles were or what they'd do.
48	** Danisha herself has quite a few {{Informed Attribute}}s; she's described as nice, but most of her kindness comes across as CondescendingCompassion, she's a massive {{Hypocrite}} who judges other women for doing the same things she does, and she wholeheartedly approves of Frollo's ridiculously harsh punishments, like torture and hanging. She's also supposed to be a badass who doesn't take any shit from anyone, but most of her fights happen against captives or assault victims, and one of her earliest enemies was a literal ''child.''
49	%%* InsaneTrollLogic: Her theory on what "really happened" in a nutshell.
50	%%* ItsAllAboutMe: See SupportingHarem below for details.
51	* LastDisrespects: This happens a lot in her works. Most egregiously, as the thieves from ''Didn't It Blow Your Mind, Claude Frollo?'' are about to be hanged, Frollo hits one of them for "insulting his lady," then gives him a short TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. When Frollo is done yelling at the men who are about to die, Danisha and Iggy celebrate in the audience and preform what's practically a mini variety show in the process. It involves impressions of Saturday Night Live characters, references to modern pop culture, and a full chorus feat. Phoebus and Quasimodo singing about how you should never mess with Claude Frollo.
52	* ALittleSomethingWeCallRockAndRoll: Iggy and Danisha lead a tavern of French people in 20th century American hits, including songs by the Jackson Five. Later in [[http://crazedwriter.lbbhost.com/fanfiction/dibym1.html Didn't It Blow Your Mind, Claude Frollo?]], Danisha performs for the King of France on a piano (which wasn't invented yet) and chooses a slew of ragtime and {{jazz}} songs to perform. He loves them.
53	* LostAesop: And how. The ''Claude and Me'' series can't seem to make up its mind on whether sexually empowered women are good or not. On one hand, it portrays Frollo keeping a harem of 30+ mistresses as completely acceptable, and never [[SlutShaming slut-shames]] said mistresses for their involvement with him (although it does portray Danisha as being better and more lovable than the other girls.) On the other hand, it viciously attacks Esmeralda for dancing in public and "tempting" Frollo. So it's good to be sexually empowered, but only if you actually have sex? Or maybe it's only good if you're a member of Frollo's harem? At first, it can seem like this is just an example of clear-cut ProtagonistCenteredMorality, because Danisha is always right and Esmeralda is always wrong even when they're doing the exact same thing, but sequels muddle the waters even more with the introduction of the subplot about Theodora's box. Theodora was a real life Byzantine empress who famously worked as an [[TheOldestProfession "actress"]] before marrying the future emperor, and her sexual exploits are well-recorded (although some are most likely exaggerated.) She was ''also'' an extremely competent and powerful leader who had a lot of influence over her husband, whose legislation greatly expanded women's rights. Needless to say, Theodora, a devout Christian who instituted the death penalty for rape, would probably ''not'' approve of Frollo's attempts to sexually assault Esmeralda. But inexplicably, Danisha loves Frollo ''and'' hero-worships Theodora despite the obvious contradiction, and the audience is expected to like them both, too. Except... are they? The innuendos about Theodora's "box" are many, to the point where it seems like SlutShaming all on its own. So... are we supposed to like her or not? Are we supposed to approve of her for being generically cool and powerful, and not think too hard about her actual, real-life accomplishments or backstory? What on Earth is the narrative trying to say about sexuality, empowerment, and women's rights??
54	* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: Many of her stories are like this. ''The Disney Seven'' features dozens of Disney movies, and ''Jedi in Oz'' has characters from Star Wars, the Wizard of Oz, and various other Disney properties (even more obscure, old movies like ''Dinosaurs.'')
55	* MoralMyopia:
56	** Danisha has a lot in common with Esmeralda. They're both dark-skinned, sexually empowered women who get Frollo's engines revved up, but while this is admirable in Danisha, we're supposed to look down on Esmeralda for it.
57	** On a more general level, Danisha and Frollo will wax poetic about how horrible racism is, but still condemn and persecute gypsies.
58	** A more specific case is the soldier who stole Frollo's horse, but then got thrown down a hill, seriously injuring himself. Danisha finds the story ''funny''. Once she learns that she actually knows the soldier, she's filled with concern for him.
59	%%* OfficialCouple: Frollo and Danisha.
60	* OutOfCharacter: Nearly everyone in her Disney-centered fanfiction:
61	** Esmeralda is one of the worst, as she's consistently portrayed as a manipulative bitch and a gold digger who asked to be assaulted. Supposedly she only pretended to befriend Quasimodo and fall in love with Phoebus because she wanted to piss Frollo off.
62	** Phoebus is [[TheFool a bumbling idiot]] who inexplicably loves Frollo and supports him enough to sing about how great he is during a hanging.
63	** Quasimodo is a {{Manchild}} with some kind of mental disorder, and he mostly acts like a very young child who loves Danisha.
64	** Frollo himself is a sexpot Casanova with a giant harem and a love for rural Americana in the "Claude & Me" series, and a rather forgettable villain with no clear motive in ''The Disney Seven'' (in which he makes minor alterations to a town event and cancels a basketball game.)
65	* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Probably the most noticeable thing about her work, especially the stories that center on Danisha Wood. Frollo is depicted as a genuine, nice, caring man because that's how he behaves with Danisha, but he's still incredibly racist, sexist, and mean to others, and patronizingly condescending towards Quasimodo. The narrative doesn't care about any of this because it's not Danisha he's being rude to.
66	%%* ReallyGetsAround: Frollo.
67	* TheReveal: In [[http://crazedwriter.lbbhost.com/fic2003/disney7-1.html The Disney Seven]], the seventh hero needs to be found. The other heroes muck about while waiting [[spoiler: and while the villains dispatch themselves]]. Frollo Freak starts teasing who the hero might be before having the Big Reveal in the end. [[spoiler: It's Stitch.]]
68	%%* SassyBlackWoman: Danisha. Oh boy, Danisha.
69	* SidelinedProtagonistCrossover: ''Jedi in Oz.'' None of the main characters from any of the franchises Frollo Freak uses in her story get any real focus. They're all sidelined in favor of OCs.
70	* SupportingHarem: There are women who call themselves Frollo's Secret Mistresses. And there are at least 30 of them. But of them, Danisha is the only one Frollo truly loves. The others are just "distractions." Keep in mind that these other mistresses were characters created by the other Frollolusters Frollo Freak hung out with online. From what others have said, Frollo Freak made these writers acknowledge Danisha was his true love in their own stories.
71	%%* TimeTravelRomance: The whole point of the "Claude & Me" series.
72	* WeirdCrossover: ''Jedi in Oz,'' which involves characters from the Harry Potter series, the Star Wars prequels, Disney's ''Dinosaurs,'' and the original Oz books. ''The Disney Seven,'' which includes characters from a very wide variety of Disney properties, can also fall into this territory (especially when a character from a lighthearted kids' movie is in the same scene as a character from a much darker movie.)
73	* WhatTheHellHero: Frollo Freak seemed to think that if you accidentally turn a man on and then refuse to have sex with him, even after he sexually assaulted you, you deserve to be beaten and tortured.
