it’s mildly funny (in a sad way, of course) that Peeta so refuses to undergo the “the world has made me cold” process many a MMC does that Snow has to invest presumably thousands of taxpayer dollars and untold man hours (this is why you lost the war) into chemically rewiring him and it still doesn’t work

So between Peeta mentioning to the morphling that he once took three days to mix a perfect color, having very detail-oriented hobbies like painting and cake decorating, being careful with his words, and having a mom who gave him a black eye if he made small mistakes like burning bread, it’s safe to say the books hinted at him being a perfectionist.

Which if it’s true makes his backstory of feeling like he’s never needed or the first choice so much more intriguing. The dad who always wanted a daughter, the being second place in wrestling, the abusive mom who calls him stupid, the youngest son who probably won’t get the bakery, the non-survivor compared to Katniss. All while trying his best to minimize mistakes. Maybe almost to a detriment, since he was shown to count himself out as a contender of the games and showed a hesitance to talk to Katniss.

This all makes his ending of coming back to D12 so much more profound. Peeta’s not broken but he’s recovering from his worst nightmare happening to him, and it is something he is going to have hard days with. There will be days where he can’t hide it away under talking eloquently. He’s also going to feel some guilt about what happened with Katniss even if he knows it’s not his fault. But he still chooses to come back to Katniss. They both made mistakes over the course of their relationship, they’re both fully aware of each other’s flaws, but perfectionist Peeta is happy with that and wouldn’t ever go anywhere else.

There’s a lot of discussion when it comes to how Peeta developed over the course of the books, but it seems like while he taught Katniss how to live and not just survive, she also taught him how to live and not count himself out just because he isn’t perfect. Because while the Peeta at the beginning of the books wouldn’t have abandoned Katniss in D12 alone and was very brave and rebellious, he probably would’ve been much more shy about appearing at breakfast and carrying her up to bed after she cried with Buttercup in light of everything that’s happened.

And she's talking to his unconscious body

Katniss because Peeta fell asleep without giving her a goodnight kiss: okay so you hate me. A lot. Understood.

It’s so funny to imagine Wicked from the perspective of one of the normal students at Shiz. There’s this girl and she’s weird and an overachieving nerd and no one likes her, but then the popular girl becomes best friends with her overnight so you guess she’s chill now. They might be sleeping together but no one’s really sure. They’re also low key dating the same guy but you’re not clear on if it’s a polycule situation or a love triangle. Whatever. You’re just trying to study for finals. Your history teacher gets arrested and no explains why. You just hope this won’t effect your grade in the class. The weird nerdy girl gets a letter from the president inviting her to come see him. Wow, that’s exciting. She and her maybe-girlfriend go off to the capitol and you go back to homework and dorm room parties. One day later one of your professors is on the national radio saying that the weird nerdy girl, who used to be her favorite student, is now a terrorist, has stolen the nuclear codes, and is on the run from the government. You are still expected to show up to class tomorrow.

Galinda gives me U-Haul lesbian vibes

[amtcurlyq]

They're so funny for always looking like a rich couple actually

[amtcurlyq]

there's no way this hasn't been done yet but come on, she is the epitome of this tweet

CRYING at Galinda performing the most flamboyant like...tropical bird mating dance the world has ever seen

Meanwhile poor Elphaba, who has never experienced flirting with ANYONE before, let alone the world's most flamboyant closeted lesbian tropical bird, has no idea what the hell she's looking at and is just like ??????

Still, points for at least attempting to match Galinda's freak

Truly the most magnificent sapphic fail-flirt scene of all time.

watched wicked and I think glinda and elphaba should get gay married

I love how Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel specifically cameoed during One Short Day, because that’s the song where Glinda and Elphaba are talking about their future together- a future that we know they’ll never get. BUT having Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth there feels like we got to see a version of Elphaba and Glinda who DID get their happy ending together living in the Emerald City 💚🩷

[amtcurlyq]

I see Elphaba, Glinda, and Fiyero as a doomed bi polyam trio and I’m tired of denying it

[amtcurlyq]

We got challengers spring, chappell roan summer, agatha autumn and wicked winter. The girls and gays are winning!!

[amtcurlyq]

I Need deeply in my heart a fanfic series where it's like a semi fix it AU of wicked where it's a slice of life sitcom thing with the students at Shiz just being fun kids and friends and Galinda and Elphaba are gay and Boq and Nessa are happy and not terrible people and fiyero just gets to be bisexual and stupid and nothing bad happens cause I'm delusional and dillamond can be the fun teacher character and morrible is the fun-police principal who sucks and blah blah whatevs

[amtcurlyq]
