Yeah - that struck me after I saw the movie earlier this week - Glinda is describing herself. The Wicked are lonely, they cry alone, they die alone. That's Glinda herself.

And because it's Glinda herself singing it, that says so much about how Glinda views herself.

Especially when taken with her descriptions in For Good - you were a boulder and you stopped my stream; you were the sun and I was a comet and you pulled me from orbit into you, and when comets get pulled from orbit into the sun, they BURN UP AND DIE - like Glinda met Elphia and who she was before died.

And who she is now has to live with. her own Wickedness.

(Which mirrors the dance scene in Dancing Through Life because, yeah, that's about the relationship with Elphie, but it's also 1) Elphaba absolutely always and consistently will throw herself on own sword if she thinks it will help someone else who deserves it (threatening to quit her lessons with Morrible if she doesn't include Glinda just because Glinda did one (1) nice thing to her? and one (1) nice thing to Nessa? after how many millions of NOT nice things?) and 2) Glinda will always do something petty that goes too far and then realize afterward and feel bad and want to fix it.

Except this time, she can't fix it.)

Hey, you want to hear my favorite Wicked fact? Regardless of what part you are watching or the original musical, Glinda describes herself in “ No One Mourns The Wicked” by saying “ Goodness knows that the Wicked die alone.”

I’m with you, my love The lights shining through on you Yes, I’m with you, my love It’s the morning and just we two

#spike btvs #spuffy #spuffyedit #btvs #btvsedit #buffy the vampire slayer #it's terribly simple #you know you want to dance #injuries cw #bites and chews and gnaws on anyone who says buffy didnt love spike. BITES and CHEWS and GNAWS on them.#like is that not the whole point? of him? of his entire character arc? of his burning to ash as he breaks the sunnydale high school #(AKA buffy's personal cage within the slayer's cage that was sunnydale itself AKA the place where he and buffy first ever fought #and he nearly killed her for the very first time but was foiled by the immense love someone felt for her) as he breaks that place to rubble #in a way also very reminiscent of the first time they slept together and Literally Fucked A Building Down. anyway as he's doing ALL OF THAT #like sure she doesnt HAVE to love him she doesnt owe him anything and even if she did love isnt about obligation. but when buffy says #that she loves him in that scene. theres nothing to indicate that she doesnt feel it. that she isnt telling the truth.#idk man. people take a man who is dying telling someone not to love him as the gospel truth when i feel like its more ... like maybe he's #making a misguided effort to be kind? he's telling her ''dont get too hung up on the vampire thats about to catch on fire #and get your pretty ass out of here while you still can please.''#whatever. WHATEVER. in the perfect btvs that lives in my head most of ats isnt canon but esp the part where spike comes back and doesnt #immediately 1. ASK IF DAWN WAS OKAY 2. upon being told by angel that he cant be put in touch with buffy because [mumbles] misogyny?#go ahead and engage in a flirt campaign at harmony until she breaks down and calls buffy for him. those would be like the FIRST TWO THINGS #that spike did after he came back to unlife. first two things frfr #i'm gonna end the tag rant there. hmm

the coolest kids in forgotten valley!!☆

(…it seems there may have been a stretch of time where rock and lumina were the only kids in forgotten valley…🥲)

poseref

#in the remake hugh and the player’s kid are the same number of years apart #so i can see them having very similar conversations n friendship #surely these two kids will grow up well adjusted and they will have no lasting effects from this kind of isolation. they will be fine #i have been thinking a lot about what their childhoods were like. i want to protect both of them #everyone who has anything to say about them as kids says that both of them were not well behaved children at all #tei says rock was rambunctious and energetic and hard to handle. sebastian says lumina was less than amenable #rock says he was bored to death when he first came here and lumina asks you not to tell romana that she’s lonely #lumina also hated wearing dresses so. she is very mad and ready to bite people maybe #sos awl #bokumono #my art #rock tumbling (sos)#harvest moon #story of seasons #story of seasons a wonderful life #bokujou monogatari #i like to imagine a au where pony and cecilia come to visit their family’s respective farms #so these two can have more friends ;w;#i am always thinking about how they were both severed from their families and taken in by someone else at a young age to live in nowhere #and they are both not exactly enthused about following the path laid out for them #headcanon ⚠️ i wonder if rock’s moving out on his own happened when he was a teenager. he was extremely confident everything would work out #anyway he got fired from every job ever and after many years came crawling back. and he came crawling back blond #at the time of chapter 1 lumina is baffled by the state of the guy she grew up with. why is he using dated slang and wearing disco costume #she is also kind of mad at him for having been gone for so long #hc rock probably had more freedom as a kid than lumina did which probably annoyed her #once again takakura retrieves a small rock from the goddess pond and he’s covered in poison ivy bee stings etc. no remorse #lumina from her window on the hill feels somehow jealous of these misadventures #lumina mentions in her heart event that she doesn’t often visit the beach because her skin burns easily #meanwhile rock was probably playing outside always. if his kid is any indication #idk i like thinking about the history of this extremely small village

True confidence in your dog being a pushover is pissing them off until they snarl at you, then continuing to piss them off while kissing the snarl, inches from sharp teeth that could end you.

I enjoy making Riley angry and daring her to bite me.

As a puppy, when she WAS very bitey, I'd poke her cheek into her teeth so if she bit at my finger she got her own cheek first. She would pretend to gnaw on my finger and snarl really viciously but really she was lightly gumming her own cheek.

#Riley forgets herself sometimes and has bitten people pretty severely on accident #Like she over-reaches for a treat in your hand and bites your fingers or jumps at you while you're going to her and collides #never intentional always accidental #but i think everyone has a scar from her #she nearly bit the end of my finger off going for a treat- her tooth went through the nail #but i still piss her off #now when you give her a treat you go 'gently riley' and she will soften her stance and still snap at it quickly #but mostly with her lips and not teeth #once she jumped up to hug my mother while my mother was bending down to hug her #and my mom ended up with a black eye from where Riley 'punched' her #which at first hurt and i was empathetic i promise #but it became HYSTERICAL when we tried to eat out and realized EVERYONE who saw her thought my father punched her #and when my mother bruises it lasts for over a month #so my father refused to eat out with us after a while because he was tired of being glared at #and 'our dog did it' just sounds like a bad lie #i suggested she get a shirt with that on it #back then she worked at a high school as a secretary and the police officer stationed in the school took her aside #and was like doing the 'this is a safe space. even for adults. you can tell me if there are problems at home.' trying to help her #and she had to explain to him 3 times it was the dog; then called me to explain; then i came over at dismissal with riley #and he met her and she tried to hug him and he understood finally #my dad is now able to laugh about this #riley

the trolls movie is truly one of the movies of all time.. branch and poppy's dynamic never ceases to amaze me

#meg speaks #the grumpy guy who makes it out like he hates her and all her invitations #but in secret he saves them and listens to them on repeat #because its her being kind to him. seeing him. wanting to be his friend. wanting him to be happy.#even when he thinks he can never be happy again. the fact that she wants him to find it again ogohhhh #the fact that he stopped singing after his grandmother got eaten. and then sang for her when his words came back to bite him in the #ass. because yeah the world isnt all cupcakes and rainbows but he never meant for her to feel.... like That.#so he sings for her and finds his happiness again. IN her.#AND THE PART WHERE HE RECITES POETRY FOR BRIDGET TO SAY TO GRISTLE... BUT HE'S LOOKING AT POPPY.... TALKING ABOUT HER......#HE CARES HER SO MUCH......... the worry when he saw her 'dead' at the very beginning too and he resuscitates her........#GOD IM SO. FERAL. FOR THEM. BROPPY MY FUCKING BELOVEDS

something about being told im 'the leading person at this whole academy when it comes to interpretation and stage intelligence' by the husband of the woman im trying (not really. but i mean. who knows) to seduce... ok boy you got me. lets make it a polycule.

#im playing it all cool and funny now but atm i legit burst into tears lol #like he said i have a 'good voice too of course' but i know realistically that is not my strongest asset #and even if i were technically perfect. which im NOT lol. the voice itself is just nothing special. it's there ig but that's about it #but its nice to know i may not be 100% useless after all #(just 90%)#also apparently the most feared and respected professor who came to the concert said. again. that he likes me the most.#which again. crying real actual tears about this all rn this means literally the world to me this is everything i have #and i have no one to share this with because im not gonna say it to my uni friend cause i dont want her to feel like im boasting or sth #(even tho she has no such qualms herself but probably because i know how. not great. it feels when someone keeps talking about themselves #and about how great they are and how easy everything is for them. i dont wanna do it back at her.#well there's also the fact that i dont think im great and this is not fucking easy to me at all lol #but idk i think the difference between us is that she actually admitted she sees no point in singing if she cant show off (thus she hates #the duet we're singing because she sings the lower part and cant show off her high notes or coloratura.#which is like. an insane take to me. i mean it i get it. kinda. if i had a voice like hers maybe id be like that too fuck knows.#but that just feels so. idk. sad to me. so self obsessed and empty. like you dont care about the music itself? about you being a part of it?#also immediately made singing with her not fun anymore. i thought we were creating something TOGETHER. but thanks for the confirmation #that you only really care about being 'better than'. yikes.#like idk this behaviour is funny and iconic in old school opera legends like yes go bite each others dicks off.#but it hits completely different when it's your own colleague let alone your friend. like damn girl. damn)#) anyway. the husband is kinda hot too now that i think of it. i really should seduce them both.#except its realistically not possible since they've both seen me cry now (she saw it like a hundred times lol)#so ive lost the hot and mysterious card alas. no uni professors romance for me

Anyway about the time loop/rerunning life on essentially new game plus/ reincarnation thing.

Cloud sent back in time over and over again, growing more and more ridiculously powerful each time. He has to save the planet. He doesn’t have any other choice.

The first time he is born with mako shine eyes and all the enhancements of a SOLDIER. The second (after another round of Hojo’s experimentations) he is bordering on the power of a god. The third? The fourth? The tenth?

He will get it right eventually. Things have changed every time. He’s getting closer.

What he didn’t expect was for someone else (something else?) to be meddling as well. So when he is reborn again and rather than six years younger than Sephiroth he’s eleven years younger and is picked up as an apprentice/ward/adopted son of Genesis Fucking Rhapsodos himself he is pretty understandably pissed about the situation he landed himself in.

Sephiroth isn’t entirely sure why Genesis’ chocobo child is both terrified of him and is probably plotting his death, but he does know what the after effects of Hojo looks like and he will die before he lets some scientist hurt this kid again.

#the elf talks #ff7 #cloud who is a grown adult multiple times over with all the trauma that comes with #and Sephiroth Angeal and Genesis trying to raise this traumatized child when they’re still basically kids themselves #JENOVA who tried to stop cloud by fuckign with the timeline is honestly livid that it came back to bite her this badly #can I have two time travel au’s for the same fandom #I mean I do but like is it allowed

I'll be honest the whole argument about it being imperative that the gang never "wins" is still so fucking stupid to me. did you watch 3x01 with your eyes closed. dennis has "won" before, and it ruled, actually. why do we need broad ass arguments like this trying to pin down sunny when there's like. countless examples to the contrary to show it's been like this the whole time.

#i swear its only an issue when people want to use it to justify their opinion but its always so easily countered by just. watching the show #ada speaks #is dee day not an issue to y'all because dee 'deserves' her win #its such a weird fucking thing to be mad about #i agree there should be consequences when the gang do something shitty. BUT #what the fuck did dennis do wrong in dtamhd that he needs to be punished for #personal victories are not uncommon for the gang?#do you think mac coming out shoukd have netted him a punishment #do you have a problem with the note s15 ended on when the gang came together for charlie #there are so many examples like. not EVERYTHING has to come back around and bite them in the ass #when they do something awful. yes. sure. but its ridiculous to expect some twist for everything #they get off scot free constantly and that's. kind of the point. money and privilege and the art of not giving a fuck #idk. idk. but its so stupid to me that this is a complaint going around NOW like we don't have 15 prev seasons

Befriended my aunt's cat, I keep on winning in this life (except for all the things I keep losing). The sense of accomplishment is off the charts because "she doesn't hang out with humans". Well, she does hang out with me!

#riding that high folks. never been more honored. shes just chilling here with me. i have no leg space tho #but either way its cool #also im extra protective of her bc my aunt wanted to put her down for no other reason than just her personality #and the personality being just regular car things as scratching furniture and biting when she didnt like her food etc #but thank god the vet was like what the fuck im not putting down a perfectly fine cat get tf out of here #she was taken far away from my aunt but she came back #i mean the kids love her and my grandma also loves her its my aunt that has beef #but they live in a sort of weird relationship now with my aunts family #she is well fed and no one is hurting her but there is still very much beef between her and my aunt #and i think the cat is doing it specifically. like all the cats in my life have their hanging out spots. their sleepy time sweet corners etc #each cat has their own.#this one? this one seems to know that my aunt hates having her on furniture so the cat just keeps sleeping everywhere. every surface

...

#Furby died and I'm devistated #what was wrong was even worse than her dying from spider bite or snake #we figured out it was my young cousin and my friend's 7 year old playing outside and running around like mad #and he accidentally swung the door and it slammed her #I went back to bed that morning despite feeling the nudge to get up and join everyone #and it feels like if I'd been up I would have been out with them and could have prevented it #I miss her so much and she was so into everything and underfoot I keep seeing her everywhere #I spent most of the day at the vet #she was still alive this morning so I started having hope that she could make it #I've lost 5 pets in the last year and a bit to all different things and I'm so tired #I try so hard to take good care of them and it just keeps happening #why do my pets keep dying?#I didn't want Furby when she first came and I thought I was just taming her for a week to go to a new home #I'd only really just started thinking of her as specifically my cat and imagining having her for 15 more years #and now she's dead at 5 months #I'm so full of grief and so tired
