Galinda making Elphie laugh.

[gveret-fic]

Yes they hold hands, they fall asleep on each other, whatever. Can we talk about Elphie consistently laughing at Galinda's little jokes

[gveret-fic]

this video is CUTE, the animal is clearly in distress but it is a vile creature unloved by any god and we are correct to derive pleasure and satisfaction from its misery

Case in point Elphaba Thropp Needs a Hug is not a recognized ao3 tag and the only works using it are movie-verse. Clearly not because book or musical Elphie doesn't need a hug, she was carefully engineered in a lab to be the most fundamentally hug-deficient character of all time, but she simply does not seem huggable. She's a wounded wild animal, scary and unapproachable and won't show her belly on pain of death. Cynthia Erivo's Elphie is the most huggable creature in the world from the word go

I do think it's interesting that Cynthia Erivo's Elphaba is sooo much gentler and sweeter and quieter and more like feminine and vulnerable than the usual Elphie characterization, and while I miss the more brash, confrontational, visibly angry and strange and off-putting Elphaba, it really does work. It makes sense that this is how a Black woman coded Elphie would be versus a typically more Jewish coded Elphie. It feels like a culturally grounded depiction, and I like that. Also she is just so so so cute yknow

Something I like about the movie's rendition of Popular is how much Elphie is clearly enjoying it. She's laughing, she's having fun, she's playfully mimicking Galinda and delighted by every second. Adorable

she's great at dirty talk

It really is nice how obviously fond Elphaba is of Glinda right off the bat in the movie, with What Is This Feeling showcasing how much Elphaba enjoys their little feud. For the first time in her life, someone's judging her for her, rather than her skin or her magic. Glinda doesn't give a shit that she's green, she's mad that Elphaba's taste in clothes and decor clash so severely with her own! She doesn't care that Elphaba could accidentally kill her if she got too angry, she's too busy being upset that Elphaba keeps minorly inconveniencing her! How refreshing that would be, to meet the most annoying person in the world and discover that her own narcissism has caused her to be the only person who sees you for who you really are. Of course Elphaba would take the hat seriously as a gift -- has anyone other than Dulciebear ever gifted her anything? Of course she would gamble her own self-confidence at the Ozdust -- at worst, Glinda's ego is so massive that she would never allow her mortal enemy to be the butt of someone else's joke. And in the best case, well, Glinda recognizes how important she is to the one person that she knows has no one. The only one who gets her, the only one who has ever understood her, standoffish and rude the way a stray cat is before it finally follows you indoors.

It's a real shame this story couldn't be anything other than a tragedy, huh?

Griddlehark isn't enemies to lovers. It's "crabs fighting to keep each other in a bucket" to "crabs sacrificing themselves to help each other out of the bucket"
