Elphaba is either 5 apples tall and fuelled by rage and misery (which turns both Glinda and Fiyero on, but they won’t admit it to her face) or she’s absolutely gargantuan and taller than both Fiyero and Glinda (but they can both pick her up because she’s built like a string bean), still fuelled by rage and misery and no other headcannon is correct.

I can't believe Elphaba has to stand there while her friend is like "yeah ever since the day you and him had an intense moment of unexpected closeness and connection in the woods my boyfriend is suddenly acting totally different and pulling away from me as if something is haunting his every moment"

And then she just has to be like "oh no mmhmm? Really? Oh no" as if that means nothing to her personally.

This video shows some unused poster designs for the musical, three of which are about our witch and scarecrow

Also it shows the original ending of Elphaba and Fiyero meeting with Dr. Dillamond in the badlands 🥹

I used Google lens and only found these two unused poster designs

I think the first one parallels with wicked movie part 1🥹 Fiyero gives a poppy flower to Elphaba

I found them on these websites

But Fiyero barely has time to marvel at her before he’s being pulled upwards, the air rushing around him and before he knows it Elphaba is above him, straddling his hips, pressing his body into the mattress with her solid weight. The fire beside them spits green and teal, a confirmation of what he already knew, her magic being a strength in more ways than one. Elphaba’s eyes are dark with desire and something else – something almost playful - as they devour him in a way that makes his brain falter, mind crackling like static.

Or, my alaym brain rot in a nearly 6k fic.

There are two lenses through which the pivotal dance sequences in Dancing Through Life can be viewed.

First, let’s look at what Jon Chu has to say:

"Alice (Brooks, director of photography) and I always talked about how the truth is in the darkness and the lie is in the light. Dancing Through Life is a lie, for instance, so there is a lot of light coming in. By the time we get to the Ozdust, we’re playing in the shadows."

Fiyero’s dance = the lie vs Elphaba’s dance = the truth

And I love that.

Okay, moving on—parallels! Look at them.

The way the song is structured, Fiyero arrives at school, and as he starts dancing, more and more people in the library follow his movements exactly. He even says, "Once again, the responsibility to corrupt my fellow students falls to me." This tells us that this is his MO—everywhere he goes, he starts dancing, and people inevitably follow. He’s a natural leader, effortlessly pulling people into his rhythm with charm and charisma.

And, as Jon Chu confirms, this whole scene is bathed in light—because it’s all a huge lie.

Elphaba’s dance, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. No one can naturally match her movements. People don’t flock to her—they avoid her. They’re afraid of her. Even Galinda, the first to join her, is actively discouraged from doing so, and yet—she does anyway.

The Ozdust duet is a beautiful microcosm of Elphaba’s struggles and overarching story. Without Galinda stepping in, no one else would have joined. And yet, by the end of the scene, everyone is dancing her dance—because of Galinda.

But here’s the real point:

Fiyero is doing Elphaba’s dance too.

And as the lyrics "your life could end up changing" play, he stares after her—longingly.

fiyero's point of view of part one is hilarious. He leaves elphaba and glinda to themselves for one day and now Elphie is wanted by the government and glinda is technically a prisoner/is kissing up to the wizard and super sad about Elphie. The throuple is in danger and now he's left to hold the braincell.

[calamint1234]

It's so important to me that the "toss toss"/"you don't have to do that" scene has Elphaba in what she thinks is a private moment doing something a little silly and very vulnerable and then getting caught doing it. She's so used to being ridiculed for just existing, but now, caught in a genuinely embarrassing moment, she is given validation that she doesn't need to change herself instead.

I HATE HOW HARD I LAUGHED

[ladyantiheroine]

I’m thinking about Wicked tonight, specifically why Elphaba ends up with Fiyero instead of Glinda in the musical despite Elphaba and Glinda having the more well-rounded relationship.

You could chalk it up to the writers wanting a heteronormative ending (and I’m certain that’s part of it) or the fact that Elphaba and Fiyero had a love affair in the book. But I think there’s a bit more nuance to it.

The whole point of Glinda’s character is that she upholds the status quo of Oz. No matter how much she loves Elphaba or sympathizes with the plight of the Animals, she will always align herself with the current system and those in power. And as long as that remains the case, a relationship between her and Elphaba is futile because Elphaba will not give up her cause.

Elphaba and Glinda represent to different ends of a spectrum. Elphaba resists the oppressive forces in Oz, while Glinda upholds them. But Fiyero is somewhere in the middle. He starts out privileged and carefree like Glinda, but quickly turns to Elphaba’s side. He does become Captain of the Guard, but only to find Elphaba and help her evade arrest.

And therein lies the difference between Glinda and Fiyero as love interests to Elphaba. Glinda would never sacrifice her title as “the Good Witch” and all her power granted from the Wizard, even if it meant helping Elphaba. Fiyero, on the other hand, does give up his privilege, his title, and even his human form for Elphaba. Glinda clings to what the status quo gives her, while Fiyero ultimately rejects it.

Yes, the writing around Elphaba and Fiyero’s romance is a bit rushed and doesn’t have the same gradual development that Elphaba and Glinda have. And yes, I have no doubt heteronormativity played a role in giving Elphaba a male love interest in the end. But I see a lot of people write off Fiyero and his relationship with Elphaba and I just don’t agree.

Why does Elphaba end up with Fiyero instead of Glinda? Because Fiyero makes the sacrifices that Glinda wasn’t willing to.
