hey there! I’ve seen your posts about wicked and I wanted to say that you’re awesome for putting your honest opinions on wicked out there
the wicked obsession is INSANE rn, honestly surprised you haven’t gotten more asks that complain about you not likening wicked. As for myself, I appreciate how close wicked sticks to the plot of the musical, it is a very solid adaptation. For me I enjoy wicked because of its nostalgia (also you would not like the musical, it’s like the movie but condensed into 2 hours so the pacing is way off) I kinda agree with you that the gelphie obsession has just exploded everywhere, personally I don’t hate it (I’m neutral on it but the movie definitely queerbaits them so hard) but I definitely see where you’re coming from
I should probably bring this unstructured ask to a close, just wanted to say that obviously it’s fine to not like wicked. I hate when fans of a thing come at people with torches and pitchforks just because they give completely valid reasons of not liking something. It’s insane
anyways have a great rest of your day/week and thank you for reading it (if you do read it lol)
Thank you! 💖 Have a cupcake! 🧁
And I have gotten a few asks criticizing my wicked opinions, (especially the last one I answered lmao) but I assume people either just block me or they try to get me to say stuff in replies. Unless I can answer something in a short sentence, I prefer people to ask my explanations in an ask so I don't clog the original post.
And honestly, if the musical is the movie (not just part 1, but the FULL movie) but condensed into 2 hours, I might like it better. I'd rather have everything being brought up and dealt with but the pacing is all over the place, than to have things constantly being brought up but the pace is slogging for almost 3 hours until the final 5 minutes and 45 seconds, and then it ends on a cliffhanger with so many questions about everything, and then you're having to deal with the unfortunate possibility of some things you might want answered not even being brought up in part 2 whenever the fuck it comes out. I'll definitely read the book before I watch the musical, but I'm curious to see which of the 3 I'll like best 🌟
And I will admit, when I made my first post saying "I hate the Glephie ship", ngl that was mainly to get people to yell at me 😇 cause I'm
✨💃✨problematic✨💃✨
Hate's a strong word and I probably should've used "don't like" but eh, I made my bed so I guess I'm sleeping in it
I hate when fans of a thing come at people with torches and pitchforks just because they give completely valid reasons of not liking something. It's insane
Right??? It's so counterproductive. Granted, I specifically asked for this cause I was bored and wanted to talk about something. But when other people mention not liking something and giving valid reasons why, and then the fans of that thing go off on them, they're quieting criticism. Of course there's a difference between constructive and destructive criticism, but not allowing ANY criticism is bad for whoever made the thing.
If people were never given criticism and told that everything they make is perfect and they shouldn't change anything, artists would stop at a sketch, writers would stop at a first draft, singers and musicians would stop at a warm up, etc. And even if the thing someone is criticizing is already finished, that doesn't mean whoever made it can't take that criticism and put it into their next work to possibly make it better.
But also, gatekeeping the things you like and getting mad when people have valid reasons for not liking them and attacking them for it is stupid. I'm not just talking about Wicked, I've seen it happen with other movies, tv shows, cartoons, video games, ANIME!!! And what those people don't realize is the people in charge like to look at analytics. If they spent all this time and money making something, but only a few people are talking about it, then it won't matter how much they're praising it, they're gonna see it's only a few people and not bother wasting anything else on making more.
Certain fans spend all their time making sure no one dares talk bad about the thing they like and driving anyone away, and then turn around and wonder why more people aren't interested in it lmao
Again, I specifically asked for the yelling in this situation, but they shouldn't do that to other people just stating their opinions. The fact that people have had to come to me ANONYMOUSLY just to say they agree with me is ridiculous
Thanks again for your kind words! I hope you have a great day/rest of your week as well! Have another cupcake 🧁

“i don’t like wicked because it’s racist” how. how is that a human opinion to have. yes it’s an allegory for discrimination but what the fuck.
"I don't like wicked because it's racist"
Show me where I said that? Full stop, quote unquote, send a pic if you must. Idk if you can send pics in the asks cause I've never tried, but message me if you have to
Trust me, I had other problems with Wicked besides the discrimination. Did you miss where I said
"I didn't like Glinda's behavior throughout the entire movie (especially the end omfg), and I also hate how they brought up one plot point and then did nothing with it."
To boil what I said down to "i don't like wicked because it's racist" means you got upset, didn't read everything, and started typing your ask. Which is obvious because of the thing you said next 🌟
how. how is that a human opinion to have. yes it's an allegory for discrimination but what the fuck.
Believe it or not, even though that wasn't my opinion:
It's a human opinion to have because I'm a human being 😱😱😱🤯🤯🤯
Shocking I know, I'm sure most people thought I was just a sentient blog inside their screens causing chaos and installing malware, but no. I'm actually human. Sorry to break that illusion babes 😘
And again, that wasn't my only problem with the movie

tumblr has been showing me your posts over and over and over and over today. because I like a lot of gelphie posts, because I like gelphie. so while your “little posts” aren’t clogging up the tag, the “based on your likes” algorithm is. the tag system has a function, and misusing it to serve your own wants while ignoring how it might be affecting other people really sucks.
If Tumblr's showing you my posts "over and over and over and over" in the "based on your likes" system, and I only have 5 (now 6) posts talking about Gelphie, that's not a me problem, that's a Tumblr problem
I understand that it can be annoying when you're browsing stuff you like and you come across something you dislike and it keeps happening, but again that's a Tumblr issue. The only reason I can think of why that's happening is because I posted my stuff within a few hours of each other, before I went to bed and after I woke up, and I guess Tumblr pulls random posts with tags either within 24 hours or within the week? Idk
and misusing it to serve your own wants while ignoring how it might be affecting other people really sucks.
Like I said before, if I'm gonna talk about something, I'm gonna put it in the tags. If I was really misusing it, I'd be flooding everything by tagging things left and right with the most random shit possible. And I know I'm not doing that because I've seen other people do it, and it's the most pretentious shit. I remember a while back I saw a post that said something like
"Man, the food I just ate was really good!"
And the tags were FILLED with stuff like "SPN, Sonic the Hedgehog, Dragon Ball, Hamilton, Bluey, Twilight, Barbie, Across the Spiderverse, Helluva Boss, Hazbin Hotel, Transformers One, (insert ship name here), (insert ship name here), (insert ship name here), (insert ship name here), etc." And all they did was mention how they enjoyed their food.
If you look at my blog you can see I very clearly watch and liveblog the show 9-1-1. I can not tell you how many times I've gone to the "Henren" tag (a ship between 2 wives) only to see posts where people have added the tag of a completely different ship in the show that is not even MENTIONED in the post in any way, shape, or form, but they added the other tag anyway. Or it's the reverse and the thing I'm looking for has nothing to do with the post.
THAT'S infuriating.
THAT'S misusing the tagging system to serve your own wants, and seeing stuff like that made me make the decision that I'd only tag something if I was talking about it
I'm putting the "Gelphie" ship tag because I'm talking about "Gelphie", I'm putting the "Wicked Movie" and "Wicked" tas because that's where Gelphie is from, I'm putting the "Elphaba Thropp" "Glinda Upland" and "Galinda Upland" tags because those are the people who make up Gelphie, I'm putting the "henren" "911 abc" and "911 show" tags because I briefly talked about them, and I'm putting the "Echoes Essays" and "Echo Answers" tags because I do stuff like this often and if people want to see more then they can.
I'm tagging it because I'm talking about it.
Again, unfortunate for you to keep seeing my posts in your feed, but feel free to block me if that'll make you feel better 🌟

hey can you stop posting about how much you hate gelphie in the gelphie tag? like you're entitled to your opinion obviously but it's kind of basic politeness to not clog a tag talking about how much you hate the thing the tag is about
Normally I'd agree, but I usually tag something if I'm talking about it
Also, out of thousands of posts that are talking about how much they love Gelphie and showing artwork and sharing fics and mood boards and gifs and stuff like that, I highly doubt my 4 little posts (now 5) where I mention my dislike of the ship is "clogging" anything

Its kind of refreshing to see someone else on this website not like the Wicked movie that much, there's so much praise and love that I've been scared to come forward and say I didn't really like it 😭
Happy to help! I'm one of those people who doesn't really care about what others think, especially online
So I'm really not afraid to shout from the rooftops:
I THINK THE WICKED MOVIE WAS MID!!!!
Don't be scared, and if anyone gives you shit for stating your opinion on an open website where people state their opinions everyday
✨ They invented the block button for a reason ✨
And that goes both ways. People if you see something you don't like, instead of wasting time harassing them online, just block them
Except for me, you can "harass" me all you want, I don't give a shit and it's free entertainment

how DARE you think Wicked is mid, this is the WORST insult to ANY generation! AND NOT SHIP GELHPIE? THIS IS AN INSULT TO MANKIND AS A WHOLE. HOW DARE YOU WALK THIS EARTH WITH OPINIONS, GO TO MARS WITH ELON MUSK.
As I said with my friend:
And the reason I don't ship Gelphie boils down to
And as much I hate Elongated Muskrat, I actually love Mars. It's my second favorite planet after Saturn so...
😘

Have you read the wicked novel, it's not for everyone but it's very tonally different and I personally like it way more
I have not read the Wicked novel. I would like to but I've been super busy. It took me this long to actually sit down and watch the movie (even after my mom spent literal months begging me to watch it with her after it first came out in November). Ngl I haven't even had the chance to see if I can find the book online yet. I'll check after I answer one more question 👍

Can we hear more about your reason behind your Wicked opinion?
Particularly Gelphie, whatta got against the saphics man? (Joke that was a joke i am joking I assume you have nothing against them)
Just finished dinner (which took longer than I thought, ngl lmao. Had a huge plate of nachos I shared w/ my mom) so I'm gonna start answering these before I pass the fuck out 🌟
Can we hear more about your reason behind your Wicked opinion?
Of course! Buckle in cause this is kinda long
I was actually messaging my friend on Snapchat as I watched (which wasn't my original intention as shown by the "see you in like 3 hours") but I only sent them 4 snaps throughout the entire movie
This was at 6:30. At 7:10 I sent this pic
Particularly Gelphie, whatta got against the saphics man?
I get this was a joke but lemme just thank my past self for this one pic. I sent it to my friend at 7:55 which I think works as a mini explanation on how I feel about "Gelphie"
My friend told me: Yeah I've heard really mixed reviews on this ngl. Hopefully the ending makes up for it
And then I sent this one at 8:50
Then at 9:10 my friend and I spent time messaging each other (don't worry I asked permission and promised to keep them anonymous)
We then spent several hours trying to break the law so I could show them a recording of the only part I actually liked so they wouldn't have to see the entire movie (lmao) which was actually infuriating for 3 reasons:
It was only 5 mins and 45 seconds (after Glinda ties the cape on Elphaba and she does her "Wicked Witch of the West" reveal until the end where you see "To Be Continued") that I wanted to show and we were having so much trouble
It was only 5 mins and 45 seconds. From a movie that's almost 3 HOURS LONG I only genuinely liked FIVE MINUTES AND FORTY FIVE SECONDS
It was only 5 mins and 45 seconds. AND IT WAS AT THE END OF THE MOVIE!!! As soon as I started enjoying myself it was over
You can see how I formed my opinions based on what I showed you, but I can go deeper if y'all want. I was gonna explain in this ask but it was taking a while and I keep getting distracted (as you can see by the time on the screenshots 😂) so I'll go more in depth tomorrow if someone asks. Hopefully I'll be more focused then

Big fan of your blog not because I always agree with your takes (thinking this weeks episode is better than last is a CHOICE) but because you are so expressive in said takes
This was from last week but I literally didn't notice until now because my inbox is CLUTTERED 😂 But thank you??? You get a burger ✨🍔✨
Also I don't even remember last week's episode or the episode before 😂 I'll have to look
Btw for anyone who wants to know: I don't know if I ever explained this or not, but I don't rank episodes how you might think. It's not based on if I think they're better than the previous one or not, it's actually about how many things pull me out of the episode (in a negative way). I enjoy all of the episodes (minus that one episode in season 7, iykyk, but it's okay cause that episode doesn't exist 😇) and only take off "points" for things that prevent me from being engrossed in them
That one episode in season 7 where Bobby left to find Amir and we got flashbacks about his dad and how he started drinking, I gave that a 10/10 because it captured my attention so thoroughly that I remember I was barely liveblogging because I didn't want to miss anything ✨
Maddie and Chim's wedding episode is a great example. I forget what I gave it but I loved it so freaking much but DIDN'T give it a 10/10. I distinctly remember the only things "taking me out of the episode" was Temu showing up at the beginning and end of it, the show taking too long to tell us what was wrong with Chim (I was just impatient lol), and Mrs. Lee flat out saying "Kevin's dead" to Chimney when he clearly looked unwell instead of saying something like "He passed away a long time ago"
Hope this makes sense 😅 If not you can just ignore me and enjoy your burger 🍔✨
(Edit: I looked at the previous essays and the main reason I can say last week was better than the week before is because the week before had a lot of Temu and last week had a lot of Brad, and sorry not sorry, but Temu takes me out of episodes)

Alrighty!!! Here we go! ✨✨✨
First, -1/2 point for the old dude who beat up the "cart cop"
Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with the fact that he beat him up. I think it was a decent twist cause I was originally expecting the security guard or someone else who got him from behind. My problem was "Why the heck did he turn out to be an escaped convict in hiding or whatever?"
Literally why??? He could've just been an old dude who was pissed at the kid for causing trouble and "stealing his job". I was so on board with everything until they revealed that the old guy wasn't actually the old guy. And Athena said she figured it out because he was "too camera shy"??? Lots of people are camera shy?? Yes he was hiding his face but I figured that was just because he was used to the kid being there so he was more annoyed than angry, or he just really didn't like being recorded. I know people like that and they aren't criminals (at least I hope not lmao 😂)
I get that 911 wants to do the "bet you didn't see this coming!" thing all the time, but why do the stakes have to be so high? I get it's a drama but I literally said in my last Echos Essays that I wanted Athena to get a bad feeling about someone but they DON'T turn out to be a serial killer or anything like that, they're just a regular person who maybe needs to talk a couple things out in therapy
They didn't need to go to the extreme or come up with a reason for why the old guy was capable of such violence, just having the small twist that it was him who beat up the kid instead of the security guy was enough.
So yeah... -1/2 point cause it took me out of the episode (even though it was at the end)
...
Umm... Is there anything else that I have problems with?? 🤔🤔🤔 I can't think of anything off the top of my head so I'll just list the things I loved until I remember something ✨
THINGS I LOVED: 💖Brad💖
Brad was freaking incredible this episode 😂💖😂 From watching his own show with the entire fire station (and repeating his lines), to being overdramatic and thinking everyone hated it and blaming the things they criticized on the network 😂, to being at the accident with them and seeing someone was passed out in a car and trying to help (yes he didn't know about the c-brace and gurney, but he was learning and genuinely wanted to help someone 💖), to the way I couldn't tell if he was angry or turned on when Bobby yelled at him 😭😭😭, to his serious heartfelt talk with Eddie about their kids 🥺-
F U U U U U C K !!!!!!!!!!!
I just remembered that Maddie's PREGNANT!!!!! AND SHE GETS KIDNAPPED NEXT EPISODE IN MARCH!!!!!!
Holy shit holy shit holy shit!!!!! HOLY FUCK IT DIDNT EVEN OCCUR TO ME THAT THAT WOULD BE HAPPENING WHILE SHE WAS PREGNANT!!! I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT HER GETTING KIDNAPPED AGAIN AMD HOW LAST TIME SHE WAS IT WAS HER ABUSIVE EX HUSBAND WHO SHE ENDED UP HAVING TO KILL!!!! THE FACT THAT SHE IS PREGNANT DIDNT EVEN CROSS MY MIND HOLY FUCK!!!! WHAT THE SHIT!!!!! OH GOD WHAT IF THIS HURTS THE BABY 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Shit fuck wait but that's the promo not this episode I gotta focus, holy shit, fuck.... FUCK!!!! Okay ummm... Shit my fucking train of thought... fuck... Brad was great and dramatic and I still love him. Also loved the fact that he helped(?) the guy who was trying to kill himself to not want to kill himself anymore while also contemplating jumping himself and having to be talked down by the guy who was going to jump in the first place??? This dude is so dramatic and emotional ❤️🩹 Brad's back on his show but I hope we still get to see more of him 💖
Plus the fire fam guest starring in the episode he wakes up from the coma but being horrible actors? 😂😂😂 Do you think Christopher is gonna see the episode his dad is in? 🥺❤️🩹 (Also real quick, idk how much skill it takes for an actor to act as a character who's bad at acting but props to them because I just know it's always hilarious 😂 First thing that comes to mind is that one Supernatural episode where Sam and Dean were transported to "the real world" and replaced their actors 😂)
Hen and Bobby not being in the scene, probably by choice, was a mood and a half 😂 ALSO HEN USING THAT MED SCHOOL DOCTOR KNOWLEDGE LETS GOOO??? They remembered she went through that arc???? You could write it off as paramedic stuff, but paramedics know the stuff that'll get you to the doctors alive, and the doctors deal with the rest of the stuff (usually, this show is pretty lenient on what the paramedics are supposed to do. ie, when Eddie had to extract a bomb from a dude's thigh, Hen sticking her hand in a patient to keep them stable, Eddie doing the whatever he did to the kid who was ass backwards so he wouldn't die, etc.) I'm chosing to believe they remembered she studied to be a doctor 🥰
EDDIE!!!! EDDIE CALLED CHRISTOPHER AND HAD AN ACTUAL CONVERSATION WITH HIM 🤩💖🤩💖🤩💖🤩 AND IT HURT MY FEELINGS 😭💔😭💔😭💔😭😭💔😭💔
"I can get an autograph and you can put it up in your room!" "So you'll send it to me? 😃"
Like, damn dude I really wasn't expecting that 😭😭😭 Why did the show have to hurt me like that? What did I ever do to you except love you and criticize you when needed? 😭😭😭 That doesn't give you an excuse hurt me like that 😭💔😭💔😭 Ow geez. Not funny. Cried. Bitch.
Okay um, sewer water rescue was nice. I love how I made a joke about kissing under the sewer water rainbow, and then a couple kissed under the sewer water rainbow 😂😂😂😂😂 I swear you can't write this shit
...Do I really not have any complaints besides the old dude being a secret criminal?
Oh, no, wait
-1/2 point for the brief mention of Temu. Still gotta be petty 🤭💅✨
Buuuut it did give us the scene of Eddie enjoying Bucks baking and Buck (and the audience) finding out that he's looking to move back to El Paso 🥺🥺🥺
Nah, I'm still gonna be petty 😘
But also EDDIEEEE 😭😭😭😭😭 anD THE COUCH MENTIONED AGAIN?!?!?!? They were so domestic holy shit I've missed them hanging out 😭💖
...I'm trying to remember anything else but that's genuinely all I've got. To be fair, I had a bunch of fun this episode and was laughing a LOT 😂😂😂
So yeah! I think that's it 😁
FINAL SCORE: 🌈9/10🌈
-1/2 point for the old dude being a secret criminal, and -1/2 point for the brief Temu mention ✨
I legit had so much fun this episode, I was laughing so much I was interrupting the people I was watching the episode with 😂😂😂😂😂 When Brad said he finally felt like a real hero and then immediately banged his head on the firetruck mirror, I cackled so loud and my grandmother was confused/upset with me because it was so fast that she missed it and wanted to know why I suddenly burst out laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ah man, I love this show 🥰
...damn, it's not gonna be back until M A R C H 😭
Welp, see you then babes! I'll be lurking in the walls until it comes back 🙃
TCHAU!!!! 😘✌️✨
