I really cannot emphasize enough the mental health benefits of abandoning the idea that you're special.

I turned on closed captions for the Swedish Chef and I just started weeping with laughter.

[september-skeleton]

never not thinking about “I really hope you get it and you don’t live to regret it” because it is so tragic. Glinda did get what she chose and she regretted it deeply. Elphaba never got anything out of the path she chose but she still chose it again because her morals were more important to her, so she couldn’t regret it. That moment puts them on paths that are destined to never converge and they try so hard to bring themselves back to each other but they can’t do it for longer than the few minutes For Good takes. They say “I hope you’re happy in the end” and to everyone’s surprise Elphaba is and Glinda is not. But they never get what they really want which is to be together again.

Why are we bringing back the fascism and white nationalism of the 1930s instead of bringing back full movies with intermissions built in. If Wicked wants to be four hours I should get to do that all at once with a pee break supported by sweeping entr’acte music

[september-skeleton]

I love how inherently selfish both Glinda AND Elphaba are as protagonists. But where one gets praised and admired for it, the other gets demonised and hated.

People always attack Glinda’s decision not to runaway with Elphaba, but no one acknowledges how overtly selfish it is to ask that of someone.

Elphaba is asking Glinda to throw her ENTIRE life away for her. To be ostracised and hated all throughout Oz when she knows full well how badly Glinda cares about what people think of her.

And while Elphaba is used to such ostracisation, Glinda is not.

It is an equally selfish decision to refuse Elphaba request. To perpetuate corrupt beliefs you don’t believe; in order to be accepted and validated by people in power.

They’re BOTH in the wrong, for entirely different reasons. It was an impossible situation with no right answer. And I’m sick of people acting like Glinda made the “ wrong choice ”

[september-skeleton]

I think the part where it’s so obvious who the real love story of wicked is between is when elphaba is dancing alone and fiyero says she really doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her and galinda says, “of course she cares, she just pretends not to” and then goes to dance with her

[september-skeleton]

Wicked is very gay and it's fun to read it that way but it's also important not to let that overshadow the experiences of marginalization in a lot of these "gay moments". "What is this Feeling?" is fun to read as gay, but it is essentially about the consequences of white woman tears and how it rallies people into hatred that dances around the real reason for their discrimination by never saying "we don't like her because she's green", but instead they create reasons to hate her because a white woman feels uncomfortable around her. You can take away how "I'm Not That Girl" has a level of comphet in it, but don't let that take away from how it's about Elphaba's struggle with fully internalizing that she will always be excluded from being desirable due to her features.

sorry but having strains of "For Good" sprinkled throughout the soundtrack, particularly during Elphie and Glinda's most important moments - essentially having it be their Theme - was a stroke of genius and definitely didn't rip my heart out every time I heard that little motif
