The Land of Frost and Frogs (LOFAFHS) is Jade Harley's planet in the Medium. It is a frozen land covered in preserved tropical plants and wildlife.

Concept and creation[]

The second word in the Land of Frost's name was initially hidden behind scrambled textHS, much like Kanaya Maryam's Land of RaysHS. Andrew Hussie's authorial commentary calls Frogs "a word shared with all Space players' lands",[1] necessitated by these Heroes' frog-breeding duties. It is the only descriptive word known to have appeared in the names of more than one planet.

Though frost does not seem to be a concept particularly pertinent to Jade herself, in fact contrasting with her tropical upbringing, it does place the planet at odds with the Land of Heat and Clockwork, which represents the opposite Time aspect. The presence of uranium underlings on the planet connects Jade to the piece of uranium found in the first iteration of Can Town, just as the other three items connect to John Egbert, Rose Lalonde and Dave Strider.

Geography[]

Land of Frost and Frogs

The Land of Frost and Frogs was initially covered in constant snowfall, with bodies of water and plant life all frozen. Green stone architecture is also hidden beneath the blankets of snow, including someHS based on the real-life Ta Prohm temple in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

The planet's skies are filled with beautiful aurorae much like those found in real-life snowy regions on Earth's poles.

Habitation[]

The Land of Frost and Frogs is presided over by the denizen Echidna, and inhabited by blue iguana consorts. A population of pink hummingbirds also live on the planet, searching among its frozen flowers for nectar, while its native frog population can be seen encased in its thick ice ponds.

Uranium Imps are the only known underlings, though the powers given to them by the prototyping of Becquerel more than made up for their diminutive size.

History[]

The Land of Frost and Frogs corresponds to the fourth planet in Can Town.

Arriving on the Land of Frost and Frogs after the Reckoning, Jade's island was connected to a much larger land mass.

Kanaya Maryam suggested Jade heat up the planet by stoking the Forge, as part of her frog breeding duties as the Hero of Space.

She accomplishes this in an extremely short time (several hours, as compared to Kanaya's "rushed" several week time) with help from Dave's time traveling powers. Jack Noir follows Jade around her planet while she was collecting frogs due to his loyalty to her given by the Becquerel-prototyping. Jack later fights Jade and Dave here as they are working on Jade's quest, killing Dave and forcing Jade to revive his dream self with a kiss.

Jade shrinks the planet, along with the others, with her god tier powers and takes them beyond the reach of the scratch. It was put into orbit in the post-scratch kids' session. Jade switched the planet with Derse to prevent it from being destroyed by Jake's Hope field. Aranea used her abilities to collide LOLAR with this planet in her battle with the Condesce.

  1. Andrew Hussie. "Here's another non-reveal reveal like disguising Karkat's blood color while showing it, kind of a cheating way of hiding but not hiding something. I didn't feel like it was the right time to show the second word of Kanaya's land yet, because it's a word shared with all Space players' lands, including Jade's. There were various reasons I didn't want to tip off the name of her land, but also, garbling the text signals to the reader that this information is a mystery worth taking note of. Aside from that, let's enjoy the fact that Kanaya dragged all her nice pillows up to the edge of this volcano so she could be comfy while computing." Homestuck: Book 4: Act 5 Act 1.
