franky n iceberg's relationship is definitely one of the more compelling dynamics that i've seen so far (to me). they can't be in the same room without resorting to fighting. so much bitterness, so much anger, so much resentment. because franky is franky -- and he can't change that. and iceburg knows that. they're polar opposites. oil and water. iceburg will never forgive franky for what happened to tom. for destroying their family, even by association. and god knows franky won't forgive himself. stood in front of a sea train even though it almost killed him...... to the point that he was so mangled he had to rebuild himself with metal..... all for retribution. but they're devoted to the ties between them. iceburg -- sturdy, frozen, larger than life -- sobbed because he was so glad franky was alive. he hadn't lost him too. and franky, despite knowing he had little left in water 7 except painful memories, stayed because he wouldn't let iceburg be taken by the government. he'd protect him in a way he'd failed tom. its complicated and its NOT easy but they're family and they love each other no matter how much it hurts (to the point they coexist in a city as enemies. as ship builder and ship demolitioner. mayor and crime lord)

Usopp + Robin = Parent abandons them to pursue a “dream” which their child then emulates + ostracized at a young age for reasons beyond their control.

Usopp + Robin = Trust issue central + Suicide Symbolism + Spending Water 7 in a full blown trigger spiral.

Usopp = Refusal to Accept Death vs Robin = Refusal to Accept Life

Usopp + Robin = Association with Giants

Usopp = Lies vs Robin = Secrets :: Usopp = Future vs Robin = Past

i simply can't hate fiyeraba when fiyero was the only person in the world that stood by elphie's side through everything and who inevitably was the first person in the whole world that put elphaba first. Straight people when the man loves the woman more than anything in the world we love you!

Hello 👋,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞

The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔

Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

"Glinda is not the villain she is just a complex character" Listen, i love Glinda. I do. But...she was. She was actively working with the Villain of wicked. She promoted the villainization of Elphaba. She (accidentally!!!) did help with the murder of Neesarose. She for the most part of teh first part Wicked, was ignorant and self serving, no matter how much she loved Elphaba. She chose to grovel into submission, she chose the Wizard over Elphaba after knowing what he did to the animals, to her professor. And the thing is she knows it too!!! Not only through No One Mourns The Wicked but there's a literal line in the finale where she says "I will try to be Glinda the Good" SHE KNOWS SHE WASN'T GOOD. SHE KNOWS. SHE REGRETS IT AND SHE WILL ALWAYS REGRET IT. IT COST HER HER SOULMATE HER OTHER HALF. Knowing Elphaba changed her forever and she tries to become good by the end!!! She starts actually being good only through facing consequences for her actions!!! Because you can't be good for the forgiveness of someone you love, you have to do it on your own behalf. Elphaba changed her entire worldview and her life forever but its up to Glinda to become a better person. So yes Glinda was a villain but by the end of Wicked she starts becoming actually good! Because she finally uses all her privilege and her power to do GOOD while also facing consequences for the bad stuff she has done. Anyways For Good (2003) you have destroyed lifes.

ariana's portrayal of glinda was excellent. From the opening scene and her micro expressions towards torch and the burning witch, to her comedic timing to her portrayal of glinda's queerness. She really channeled Alli Mauzey, which is in my opinion the best Glinda ever.

there's so many things i want to talk about when it comes to the wicked movie but first and foremost i believe that cynthia erivo is a god and is allowed to kill at least two people a day for the very weird hate campaign against her in social media esp in twitter and tiktok

[sancastarcs]

just finished watching wicked...did they really put no ones mourn the wicked motif over the scene where gelphie waved with each other....dif they really do that or that was my hallucination....why the fuck would they do that...

I have many gripes with Arcane season 2, but my most recent one is that Jinx’s psychosis and hallucinations are completely obsolete in the majority of her scenes.

In season 1, the guilt of killing Mylo and Claggor was so integral to her pain that it was shown in horrifying amalgamations of them constantly draping on her, whispering in her head, and lurking around her shoulder. Even on her good days, they were still there, they didn't magically disappear because she was doing better. Yet that was not shown at all during Season 2.

Why didn't she have hallucinations of Ekko? After all, to her knowledge, she killed him on that bridge when they were reliving their youth. Did she not feel the guilt of yet another death at her hands?

The craziest is the fact that Silco didnt haunt her at any time. Her father whom she killed in a mental breakdown was barely a presence of guilt or torment in her mind. Sure we see her struggling and such but what was so amazing about season 1 is the portrayal of how heavy that burden was, how deep that guilt and trauma went.

For a show that was so heavily praised for its portrayal of mental illness, it is a shame that they went with the trope of just a bit of love can cure one of their mental sufferings. I don’t suffer from psychosis or hallucination, but it always rubs me the wrong way when characters who do are just magically healed from these serious mental illnesses because they are in a marginally different/better place, (i.e Jinx with Isha or meeting Vander again), as if these illnesses don’t need intensive therapy, medication, and time to overcome.

nooo you guys don't get it!!! its show over tell!! vi blinked her eyes and suddenly it makes sense why she becomes an enforcer, how she tries to kill her sister and suddenly she loves her again, how she forgives Caitlyn in five seconds and they have sex in a prison cell her sister tried to kill herself. You guys just want everything to be spoon fed! Didn't you guys know that two seconds of a micro micro expression is the best storytelling? Who cares about actual good dialogue or actual scenes that showcase us Vi's feelings! no no a montage and a one second of her farting and blinking tell us EVERYTHING we need to know about Vi this season. What an amazing ARC!!!!

something so tragic in the way glinda is trapped in her own happy ending. All her life she has been preparing how the future of her would be, how she would achieve her dreams, how she would become a sorceress and how she would be beloved by the masses only in the end to lose what truly mattered to her. She is goodness and wickedness both and she knows she will die alone. Nobody that truly matters to her would mourn her. She achieved all of her dreams yet she is sad and lonely and trapped in the lies she helped to promote. How from Act 1, her dizziness and shallow thinking almost completely vaporises in Good News and by the end of For Good she is like a completely different person. God Glinda Uppland you got exactly what you deserve yet i can't feel nothing less than love and sadness for you :(

wicked is political. wicked's plot is a political one. elphaba's whole character revolves around the fact that she can't stand injustice towards other people / species. Everything to do with the Wizard and how Elphaba is villainised IS POLITICAL! you can't take politics out of Wicked.

- Zaunites dying to help Piltover in battle while wearing enforcer uniforms, even though Piltover did nothing to earn it

- Silco, one of the few pro-Zaun/anti-Piltover characters from season 1, reduced into a mouthpiece for "forgiving those who wronged you" and letting go

- Jinx, one of the few anti-Piltover characters, becoming redeemed by sympathizing with Piltovians, being apologetic for killing Councilors, and feeling like she should die to allow her sister to be happy with her enforcer girlfriend

- Vi not having any problem with her Piltovian enforcer girlfriend gassing Zaun, and reduced to kneeling for Caitlyn's pussy in a prison cell, where she was locked for years as a child by an enforcer

- Jayce telling Viktor that his disease was never a weakness to be cured even though the disease was caused by Piltover polluting Zaun

- Ekko never calling out Heimerdinger's failings as a ruler nor Vi for joining the enforcers (even though he does in the game), and also risking all the Firelights' lives to help Piltover

- Sevika not having any lines in Act 3, never interacting with Jinx or reacting to Isha's death, and also risking her life to help Piltover, a decision which was made off screen

"yeah but why couldn't they tell Glinda that they are alive" BECAUSE THE NARRATIVE WON'T LET THE CHARACTERS HAVE NO CONSEQUENCES!!!!!THATS THE TRAGEDY OF WICKED!!! THAT'S THE BITTERSWEET ENDING!!! glinda HAS to face the consequences of her actions and has to pay a price if she wants to start being actually good! there's a price to pay for her promotion of the propaganda towards Elphaba and how she is partly to blame for Neesa's death. Glinda HAS TO FACE CONSEQUENCES FOR HER ACTIONS TO BE REDEEMED AND TO BE ACTUALLY GOOD. also everyone remembers a little song called " For Good"? Where Glinda and Elphaba talk about how because they knew each other they changed for good and from now on a part of themselves will be from the other? Glinda took accountability and responsibility, like Elphaba would have wanted. Elphaba thought about her personal safety and happy ending FIRST like Glinda would have done. They switched places bc of the impact they have in each others life. Yes i wish they got their happy ending together but that's what makes wicked so good!!! That these women loved each other fiercely even with all the objects in the world.

if arcane canonised a multiverse in the Runatera universe then why are LoL decided to make it canon??? Why couldn't Arcane be an au just like it was supposed to be??? Canonically Jayce and Viktor are nothing like how their arcane counterparts ended. Where is Ezreal, Seraphine, Camille and Renata? None of this shit makes even a BIT of sense.
