this modern day fandom culture is killing me because we’re losing the art of shipping

these days you have to publish a dissertation and make a 100 page powerpoint with textual and subtextual evidence to back up the fact that you like seeing two characters together because apparently people can only ship what’s canon now

back in my day we used to be able to ship characters who never interacted,

we used to ship characters that didn’t even exist within the same media

Hey everyone, we would love to have you on our multiship Discord Server. 💚💙💗 The ground rules:

The server is 18+ only. If you are younger than that, please don't join.

This is a multiship server for Elphaba, Fiyero and Glinda, their characters and their different relationships with eachother (Fiyeraba, Gelphie, Gliyero, Thropple). No anti-behavior is allowed.

No character, ship or actor hate is tolerated. If you want to rant about another ship or shippers, please do that elsewhere.

You do not have to ship everything, but if you don't like one of the ships, kindly keep that to yourself, or don't join.

No discussion of real-life politics is allowed.

We have a few more general rules that you will be prompted to read upon joining, but these are the basics. If that sounds good, click here to join!

I’m very new in the Wicked fandom and fiyeraba corners but a lot has been made clear in that time while also confusing to me.

Finding out a lot of people don’t like I’m Not That Girl is absolutely wild to me. Apart from the beautiful performance that Cynthia has here it is so important for the story. I’ve even heard people say it’s not needed or call it pathetic and that’s truly missing the whole point and even if you get the point and still have this view of it…that makes even less sense to me.

This song is about exploration and discovering something you never thought you’d have…Elphaba has been alone for most of her life with Dulcibear being the first being to show her care and kindness from their very first interaction and Fiyero being the first person outside of her surrogate mother who didn’t treat her like or view her as a monster. He was curious sure but never mean, devaluing, or judgmental.

She never thought love would be in the cards for her. She definitely didn’t think that would be the case with the guy her best friend was dating but I’m Not That Girl does beautiful with showing her mirror without even knowing that’s what he was. Even though we know that second movie is going to give us a lot more with their dynamic and exploring those feelings what we get in the first movie is so important and necessary. This isn’t a love triangle (I used this term very loosely because while I think he cares about Glinda as a person the connection is only based on his looks and persona not the real him) for the sake of a love triangle. It’s choosing a vapid and hedonistic persona as the true you and living in that skin where you confront fears failures doubts struggles sensitivities and vulnerabilities can be hard, painful, and heavy (life is fraughtless when you’re thoughtless/those who don’t try never look foolish) among other things. What happened with Elphaba is someone seeing the heart of you and calling that out and empathizing and connecting to you in such a way you can’t go back to who you were as we see that he is now behaving and acting as his true.

That’s part of the absolute beauty and great storytelling in the INTG sequence. Elphaba is lamenting on how it could never be here despite what she feels and that very real connection and moment they have which makes it clear she’s not alone in these feelings. Seeing him have to slip back into his mask while also sincerely looking for her following their enchanted forest escapade which sets up the train scene. There is something really poetic about the fact that they both are operating on having this feelings alone while the person they have fallen for feels the exact same way. INTG is needed to get to the train station scene where we see the true him out and about as well as the fact that he has constantly been thinking about that time, their convo, that moment, and so much more he (and she as well) wants to say at that time but can’t.

Elphaba & Glinda’s relationship is the heart of the show and the primary focus rightfully so BUT I think that the way people write off Elphaba & Fiyero’s relationship is not only inaccurate but purposely trying not to see what’s right here in front of you. Seeing two people with similar values, driving forces, dedication, care, and then love for each other is such a way that they do…is always gonna be something that draws me in regardless of what haters are saying and it shall be that way! Part 2 is gonna give us so much more and I can’t wait to see like hearing Cynthia & Jonny sing ALAYM 😭😭😭😭

"I thought maybe you'd changed"

"I have changed"

She hasn't even been around, but even so he's been trying to be a better man because of her. He's been changed by her, but she loved/thought highly of the version that existed before.

And know I’ll be here holding you…
