*Flash back*

Munchkinland, nestled under the bright and expansive skies of Oz, was a place of simplicity, where days passed like gentle waves, and the air always seemed filled with the scent of spring. The fields were lush, the homes small but filled with laughter, and the people, despite their small stature, had hearts large enough to fill the vastness of the land. It was here, in the heart of Munchkinland, that you had grown up. A Munchkin like the rest, though in your heart, you felt something different—a connection to one person, Boq, that set you apart.

Boq was the one constant in your life. He had always been there, the kind and gentle soul whose smile could brighten the darkest days. From the time you were children, you and Boq had shared everything—dreams, secrets, and the quiet moments between the chaos of life in Munchkinland. As time passed, your feelings for him had deepened. You had come to realize you loved him, though it was a love you never spoke aloud, tucked away behind smiles and laughter.

And then there was Nessa, Nessarose Thropp. You and Nessa had been inseparable growing up. As her best friend, you had supported her through everything—from her physical struggles to her emotional ones. Nessa had always been the one who needed the most care, but she was also the one you trusted most. However, over time, something began to change. Nessa’s once quiet need for attention turned into something much more consuming, especially when it came to Boq. You could see it in the way she looked at him—how she seemed to cling to him, to keep him close in a way that seemed to push you further away. But you didn’t know how to confront it, not when she was your best friend, and Boq was always so kind, always so generous with his affection.

In the evenings, when Nessa and Boq would laugh together, you would watch them from a distance. You smiled for their sake, but a nagging ache lingered in your chest. You never said anything, never let your feelings slip, because you didn’t want to cause trouble. But you couldn’t deny the growing tension in the air between the three of you, a tension that neither Boq nor Nessa seemed to acknowledge.

Life had always felt steady in Munchkinland, but beneath the surface, something was changing. Something that you could not yet see but knew, deep down, would eventually affect everything.

The day the news came, everything shifted.

The whispers began weeks before, but it wasn’t until the announcement came that Munchkinland truly felt the weight of it. Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, had once been a misunderstood and outcast student at Shiz University. Now, she had fully embraced her darker powers and had begun a campaign of destruction across Oz. Her rebellious acts, though initially driven by a desire for justice, had spiraled into a thirst for domination. People called her "evil," feared her, and believed she had betrayed everything she had once stood for. The rumors spread like wildfire, from the Emerald City to the farthest reaches of the land.

But it wasn’t just Elphaba’s descent into wickedness that rocked Oz—it was what it did to Nessa’s family.

Frex, Nessa’s father, had always been a proud and honorable man. He had fought to keep his family safe in the wake of Elphaba’s actions, his grief and frustration slowly eating away at him. News of his daughter’s fall from grace, along with the ever-growing power of her sister, took its toll on him, and one fateful morning, he collapsed. The doctors said it was a heart attack—stress, exhaustion, and worry had caused his body to finally give out. For Nessa, the loss of her father was more than just the death of a parent. It was the crushing weight of failure and rejection that she had never been able to shake, and now, it had taken him from her.

Her grief was deep, but there was more to it. In the wake of her father’s death, Nessa found herself thrust into a new position of power—Governor of Munchkinland. It was a role she had never asked for, but one that had been forced upon her. It was clear to everyone that Nessa was not ready to rule, but the people of Munchkinland had no choice but to accept it. After all, she was the only one left of her family, and the legacy of the Thropps demanded it.

The announcement that Nessa had become the new Governor was met with mixed reactions. Some of the Munchkins felt sympathy for her loss, while others feared what her newfound power might mean. As Nessa took her place at the head of Munchkinland, it was impossible to ignore the shift in her demeanor. Gone was the shy, vulnerable girl you had known for so long. In her place stood someone colder, more calculating. There was a fierceness in her eyes now, a determination to prove herself, to show the world she was not weak.

It was no surprise, then, when Nessa’s first act as Governor was to claim control of Boq. As her aide, Boq was bound to serve her every whim. It was a decision made not out of necessity, but out of her growing obsession with him. And although Boq was always kind, always ready to help, you couldn’t shake the feeling that something was changing between the three of you. Boq, who had once been so close to you, was now often by Nessa’s side, fulfilling her every request with a loyalty that seemed to pull him further away from you.

The tension between the three of you was palpable, but it was still a quiet storm. You could not yet see the full scale of the chaos that would soon tear everything apart. But you knew one thing for certain—Nessa’s loss, Elphaba’s fall from grace, and the weight of power had set a chain of events in motion. The world was changing, and with it, everything you knew and loved was on the verge of being irrevocably transformed.

And so, in the days that followed, you began to understand that life in Munchkinland could never be the same. A storm was brewing, one you could neither stop nor escape, and its consequences would be far-reaching, altering everything you held dear.

One evening, Nessa’s servants arrived at your home to inform you of the new appointment. Nessa, as Governor, wanted to meet with you to discuss the future of the land and her plans. The reader was already uneasy about how much things were changing, but there was nothing to be done. You owed it to Nessa to support her, as you always had.

When you arrived at her new, grand office, Nessa greeted you warmly, though there was something in her gaze—something almost calculating. She smiled sweetly as she took your hands in hers. “Everything’s going to be different now,” she said, her voice smooth, but there was an underlying edge to it that made you uneasy. “Munchkinland is in my hands now, and I’m going to make sure it stays that way.”

You tried to smile back, unsure of what she meant. “Of course, Nessa. You’ve worked so hard for this.”

Boq, who had been summoned along with you, stood by her side, his usual comforting presence offering little relief now. He seemed to shrink back, his eyes darting between you and Nessa. It was clear that the balance of your trio was shifting, and neither you nor Boq could avoid the inevitable changes that came with Nessa’s newfound power.

As the day went on, the feeling of unease only grew stronger. The realization that Nessa’s attachment to Boq had only deepened, and her ambition for control was beginning to shape everything around her, felt like a storm on the horizon. You knew, without truly understanding why, that things could never be the same again. 

*Flashback ended.*

Happy autism month I wish to talk about my autistic/nerdivergent headcannons ( from wicked because it’s me)

Glinda - Autism and dyslexia/dysgraphia || This girl literally had a scene where she explained social cues to Elphaba. I think she’s very high masking interns of autism, while she definitely could have ADHD I dont know enough about it to say. Then dyslexia and dysgraphia This post explains it perfectly and also I am a sucker for more rep since I also have them.

Elphaba - Autism || Definitely low masking I am going off of the books/musical. For one she is very blunt and not that interested in trying to socialize.

Boq - Autism || Firstly, look at him secondly he clearly struggles with communication/explaing to nessa he doesn’t like her.

Fiyero - ADHD || Look at him, he ate grass as a child.

Nessarose - It’s Nessarose I both feel like she is a flavor of neurodivergent and not. Though chronic pain nessa would be fun

The wizard - Autism || this man has a mini Oz in HIS MAIN WORK ROOM.

[lydscare]

hiya, i hope you're having a lovely day! this is my first time ever requesting on tumblr so hopefully i can articulate this well enough! ^^

i saw your requests for wicked were open and i was wondering if i could rq some headcanons/scenarios for what some of the characters (the choice is yours!) would be like if they were jealous... (i am a sucker for this trope unfortunately ESPECIALLY if it's pre-relationship with all the yearning before a confession </3 but that's just me yapping!)

wicked characters jealousy hcs  

warnings/notes: none, probably badly written but oh well 🧍

a/n: sorry this took me so long to write, laziness has been a bother. also, do NOT worry anon, i am also a sucker for this trope 😌 i hope i did it justice. these could be read with broadway or movie version in mind

reader is written as gender neutral / masterlist

boq 

when boq sees anyone begin to start a conversation with you in any romantic sense, he is immediately THERE, like, he’s standing between you and your admirer like he's’ your own (little) bodyguard 

he furthers this stereotype by making all conversations that you have with an admirer stay strictly professional

he won’t admit that he’s jealous that someone's attention is fully on you and that they sort of have your attention as well (he definitely is)

people who boq defends you from feel like he’s going to bite off their ankles if they misstep and ask you just about anything too personal 

boq in general just prefers it when the person that he’s crushing on has his undivided attention, so he hates anything that draws your attention away from him

you always have his attention. why can’t he always have yours? 

he’s the type to secretly gossip about a person who has shown interest in you to you 

he cups his mouth with his hand and he has to get up on his tippy toes in order to reach you, while he’s glaring daggers at the person who was just talking to you

“y/n.. you know that they sneak out of class all the time, right?” 

“they hate munchkins!! you wouldn’t possibly go out with them because of their bad beliefs… would you?” 

honestly, if you push his buttons and tease him while he’s acting all jelly you could get him to stutter and turn red 

“why so defensive boq? scared of a little competition?” 

“competition why i- um, bcjhhsgcjh, n-no? w-who said we were in a competition, mmm NOT ME! that’s who!”

needless to say, jealous boq is adorable

but also kinda annoying, but in a cute way so you let it slide

elphaba

elphaba experiences a silently fuming type of jealousy

with some hidden quips and insults sprinkled in 

she will unabashedly glare daggers at any person she finds out had any interest at you

due to her reputation of being an evil witch, she also enjoys scaring away any suitors of yours

(it’s super easy for her and is honestly very entertaining to watch) 

she keeps tabs on every single person who has shown interest in you

like EVERY single one

it doesn't matter if a student only glanced at you once in life sciences class, she is holding that information in the back of her head for future use

she lowkey kinda stalks anyone who’s interested in you?!?!?! (hear me out don’t hear me out)

she wants to know about the people who are desperate for your attention, so she finds out about all of their flaws

why you ask? well to warn you about them of course 

“sure they’re cute, but have you heard about their hygiene habits?”

“oh, she asked you out huh? well, before you accept her invitation i should warn you, she’s dated half of the school by now.”

“yeah, but i heard that he snores so LOUDLY. you do not want or need to sleep next to that, y/n.” 

yeah, some of the information is so weirdly specific that you’re often shocked by each revelation she tells you

if you asked her how she got all this info, well.. she is upfront about her behavior 🤷

“elphie, how did you know any of this to begin with?”

“...”

“elphie..”

“my info wasn’t illegally obtained sooo☝️”

“ELPHIE!!”

fiyero

at first fiyero wouldn’t be jealous at any admirer of yours (he is, he just doesn't admit it)

he would brush off anyone’s advances towards you as unimportant, despite the nagging voice in the back of his head

he thinks that any admirers that you have are below you and that you’re way out of everyone’s league, so he doesn't dwell too much on any student trying to flirt with you

he’s the winkie prince, he doesn't get jealous. if anything you should get jealous when he interacts with other people 

it’s only when one day you start to begin to show interest in a student that he knows secretly likes you that he starts to worry

anytime you brought up the student’s name fiyero would immediately direct your attention elsewhere or he would bring up something that didn’t have anything to do with the current conversation 

he’d get very grumpy when you start talking about them and would whine about how this person was stealing you away from him (in a platonic way, of course)

“don’t tell me that you’re going to leave me for THAT, y/n. yes, them. c’mon! you’ve already got a handsome prince’s attention, who else do you need?”

“them, really? with that hair?” 

“but they're so… loud.” 

“you’re loud..” 

“it’s charming!” 

when around you, he tries to play off all his jealousy in a joking, playful way despite quietly freaking out on the inside

he feels frustration and anger at a person for trying to “steal” you away from him

but he also feels worry, because now he’s just realized that there’s the possibility of you leaving him, and he was too much of a coward to tell you how he felt about you when he had the chance

like how dare someone look at you discreetly as if you’re a being from a whole other universe (fiyero does this), how dare they try to get all of your attention (he does this too), how dare they flirt with you relentlessly (yep. he also does this)

it isn't until you find that you aren’t actually as interested in the student as you thought before that fiyero relaxes again

but now, he’s always secretly on the lookout for anyone whose eyes linger on you for a bit longer than he sees decent 

if he notices any suitor begin to start to try to touch you, or try to get you alone

yeah, no! he’s seen those moves being used before and he KNOWS where they are going to lead (*coughs* he’s done them *coughs*) that is not going to slide

now when someone begins to pull moves on you, instead of just letting it happen he often walks over and immediately makes sure that you don’t give anyone too much time

he’ll interject himself into the conversation and will administer casual touches on you every now and then. tucking a piece of hair behind your ear, brushing his hand against your back or arm, things like that. things that scream to your suitor “back off, they’re already being pursued by mwah”

fiyero will casually put an arm around your shoulders as you talk to the person who is into you. he’ll keep eye contact with the student, running his thumb along your shoulder, almost taunting them 

it gets you really quiet and flustered and soon enough the student leaves you two alone

so yes, despite fiyero’s past beliefs about “playing it cool” about his jealousy, all it takes is for someone to actually catch your attention for him to flip out and become the most jealous (and even slightly insecure??) man who ever lived

g(a)linda

does not sugar coat her jealousy AT ALL

like- is super obvious about it

“oh dearest, i hope you aren’t taking any of those suitors of yours seriously. you just might begin to make ME jealous!” *releases a scary laugh and flips her hair*

when galinda is interested in someone she is very obvious about it, and honestly she’s not ashamed of it

most people would die to have galinda’s attention, so she assumes that you’ll feel the same

she sees it as almost marking her territory to others in a weird way

when people see that THE galinda upland of the upperuplands has her eyes set on someone, said people will back off

like fiyero, galinda tends to get very touchy when she’s jealous

she doesn't like when you’re attention is on someone else so she’ll do these weird things in order to get your focus back on her

her favorite tactic is to pretend to faint 

“oh, dear. y/n! it- it’s getting kind of warm right now isn’t it? oh- oh i think i’m gonna-“ *falls conveniently into you* 

so you have no choice but to drag galinda off somewhere to sit or lay down

as you drag her off, galinda is secretly looking over at the person who had been talking to you with the smuggest look on her face 

nessarose

nessa gets a bit grumpy and quiet when she gets jealous

she’s really bitter about your attention being on someone else (she’s quietly thinking about slamming their face into something)

at first when someone approaches you she tries to redirect your attention back to her 

if you still prioritize the person who approached you over her she’ll get very quiet and she’ll just slink off somewhere else, hoping that you’ll realize that she’s not with you anymore and go look for her

nessa can get insecure whenever she’s jealous so she’d prefer not to see you, the person that she has a huge crush on, causally interact with someone that she knows likes you

she almost blames you for having suitors?? 

she’ll give you the silent treatment after you’ve interacted with someone for what she believes to have been an indecently long time 

“nessa, c’mon. please talk to me..”

“...”

“ness, you’re being immature-”

“OH I’M SORRY! 🙄”

she gets very dramatic about it (drama queen nessarose is very much a thing)

like- you’re literally just talking to someone else, it’s not that deep 😭

she honestly just needs some reassurance that you still love her (platonically, for now) and that you still care for her and she’ll calm down (visibly)

but on the inside she’s trying to think of ways to make sure that your suitor won’t approach you again, at least while she’s around

[justthegirlinthemirror]

what are your favourite Nessa bookverse headcanons?

OOOH hehehe ok.

she's definitely got the thropp autism (tm)

actually really smart, just can't be bothered a lot of the time

sass and sarcasm to the mAX

best subjects are economics/political science

her and nanny are actually pretty close, they have a lot of inside jokes and such

i mean this is basically canon but she and elphaba are literally the sisters ever

she's not as close with shell but i think they match each others weird energy

simultaneously the most sophisticated, elegant, composed human being in the world, but also the clumsiest most uncoordinated mf you've literally ever met

i mean this is shameless propaganda but. nessacule. obviously

actually quite tall! i'm terrible with estimations but only a little shorter than elphie (who is above average), and a LOT taller than glinda

her and elphie both have really long hair (religion thing i think), and nessa has curly/textured hair (might explain my ozian worldbuilding headcanons at some point but 🐢♥️ if you get my drift)

much less internalised ableism than her musical counterpart. she doesn't love drawing attention to her disability, but she's just vibing and has a lot of adaptive things worked out

probably a shit ton of internalised homophobia and religious guilt though :|

probably more! book nessie is very very very special to me :333

[boqlover]

I did the random headcanon generator and I knew I had to draw it

I am so sorry I have not posted in here in a minute I literally don’t even have a excuse 😭 but I’m still here and I still LOVEEEE my wicked modern au stuff (click the image for better quality sorry tumblr messes up the quality)

Love you all 💋💘🫧

More Wicked Headcannons (bookiscal canon)

- Elphaba isn’t a women but doesn’t have the language to identify her gender.

-the tribes of the Vinkus (Winkie country) have their own magic, as do the Quadlings. While Elphaba is out and about helping the resistance and animal refugees, she is also learning this magic with those whom are willing to share (some magic is closed to outsiders). She learns the different approaches and theories about magic, and it helps make her a more powerful witch.

-there was already a resistance against the Wizard when Elphaba becomes the face of it. While on the run, she is quickly intercepted by members of the resistance forces, brought to their leadership and everyone starts working collaboratively.

-Elphaba’s family tree is as such:

Oscar Diggs + Melena Thropp= Elphaba

Turtle Heart + Melena Thropp=Nessarose

Frexpar Thropp +Melena Thropp = Shell

A Quadling + Gilkeneese Munchkin=Melena Thropp

So Elphaba has kin ties to all parts of Oz- the north, east, south, and west!

-Shell grows up and becomes part of the resistance, he’s gay and has a great partner who is Vinkin. They live on the western boarder of Oz in an Animal town, and help Animals cross the impassable desert. Elphaba also passes on any orphaned Animals she has in to them if another Animal is not available to raise the orphan(s), so they run a pseudo Animal foster home. They also take in human children if there is a need.

-Elphaba loves politics, and when she is introduced to Fiyero’s father (the King of the Vinkus), they butt heads at first. However, Fiyero’s father eventually sees Elphaba as an equal, and as a strong ally. He also loves to get into political discussions with her, and playing chess with her.

-the Vinkus royal family are Animal sympathizers, but also recognized the Wizard’s plan for total control over Oz. They couldn’t afford a full out civil war, so they contributed heavily to the resistance in secret.

- the resistance in the Emerald City is majority made up of displaced women from Quadling territory, whom are forced to participate in sex work to survive. They end up using sex work as a cover for communicating, blackmailing the Wizard’s supporters, and for getting Animals safely out of the City. Elphaba, for a short time, was one of these sex workers, posing as both the sex worker, and as clientele to pass along information, share supplies and resources, and to extort Wizard supporters.

- Elphaba also poses as a maunt (a nun) to hide from the Wizard’s Gale Force, and to pass along resistance information and resources.

-Fiyero will and does sit on Elphaba’s lap

- once they are forced to leave Oz, Elphaba and Fiyero don’t truely leave Oz, they go live with Shell snd his partner, taking care of the Animals and children. The Vinkus royal family know their location, so that they can send warnings ahead if needed.

- Elphaba, with the help of various other magical folk around Oz, change Fiyero back to human, but can’t reverse the damage done by the Gale Force. They nurse him back to a relativity non-dying state, but he was hurt really badly by the Gale Force. They are able to stabilize his spine enough with magic and physical therapy that he is mobile, though he deals with severe chronic pain. He refuses all pain medication, citing a need to be of clear head in case the worse should happen. He’s also afraid of getting addicted.

-Elphaba doesn’t like getting her hair cut…the longest it ever was, it was down to the backs of her knees.

World building Headcannons:

-the Vinkus has many different climates. In the colder, more norther climates, mammoths roam. There are no Mammoths, and no one knows why. In same region, Dogs work together in teams to transport materials, people, other Animals, etc to places on sleds. Each year they have a Dog only race from Ugabu to the Lesser Kells.

- in Quadling country, there were rubies in the rivers-causing the water to look reddish. Now there are so many Quadling bodies mass dumped in the rivers due to the Wizard’s genocide of them, that the river flows red due to the blood. The surviving Quadlings were those whom were mixed raced, forced to assimilate into other parts of Oz. The rubies were dipped into green dye, and were used to build the Emerald City.

- there are parts of Munchkinland where the people dress extremely modestly- including face and hair coverings. This is where Elphaba gets the idea/fashion inspiration to hide her face (and skin)

- guns are strictly limited in Oz, per the Wizard’s orders. He saw what the American second amendment argued for and didn’t want the public to have such power to form militias.

- Princess Ozma is still alive, but kept prisoner by the Wizard. She is kept in a guarded, but empty Quadling government building in Qhoyre. The building is overgrown with jungle foliage, and is made from clay and clam shells and rubies from the rivers; it’s a beautiful prison.

- pirates sail the Restwater and Kellswater Great Lakes

Hmmm that’s all for now!

Trigger warnings: emotional manipulation, abuse of power, obsession, imprisonment, unhealthy relationships.

Note: THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR PART 2! IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS DONT READ. THIS IS WHY I TYPED IT IN CAPATIALS! DONT READER FOR SPOILERS.

The streets of Munchkinland were unnaturally quiet, the cheerful energy that once defined your home dulled to a lifeless hum under Nessarose’s rule. Her reign was absolute—she held the people captive, not just through her title as Governor, but with her iron determination to bend the land to her will.

And then there was you.

You had once been her best friend, long before the title of Governor and the obsession with control had taken hold of her. Now, you were little more than another captive under her grasp. She refused to let you leave her side, holding you hostage under the guise of affection and friendship.

And Boq… Boq had it even worse.

“Y/N!” Nessarose’s sharp voice echoed through the grand halls of the Governor’s mansion, breaking your thoughts.

Across the room, Boq stiffened. He stood at the far corner, polishing the same ornate chair he had been working on for what felt like hours. His eyes darted to you, filled with a mixture of worry and resignation.

“I’m coming!” you called back, trying to sound lighthearted as you left the room. Before you walked out, you glanced at Boq, your eyes silently conveying a promise: I’ll be back.

You found Nessarose in the sitting room, seated regally in her ornate wheelchair. She was draped in deep emerald silk, a faint smile on her lips as you entered. She lit up at the sight of you, as though she had been waiting for this moment all day.

“There you are,” she said, her tone soft, almost sweet. “I was beginning to think you’d forgotten about me.”

“I would never forget you, Nessa,” you said carefully, taking the seat beside her.

“Good,” she replied, reaching for your hand. Her grip was light at first, but then it tightened, almost possessively. “You’re the only one I can trust, Y/N. Everyone else… they all want to leave me. Even Boq.”

You flinched inwardly at the mention of his name but kept your face neutral. “You know Boq only stays because of how much he cares for you,” you said gently, though the words tasted bitter on your tongue.

Nessa’s expression darkened slightly, her fingers digging into your hand. “He doesn’t care for me,” she said, her voice trembling. “Not the way I want him to. But you do, don’t you, Y/N? You’ve always been loyal to me.”

You swallowed the lump in your throat, forcing yourself to nod. “Of course I have, Nessa.”

Her eyes softened, and she let out a small sigh. “I don’t know what I would do without you. Promise me you’ll stay, Y/N. Promise me you’ll never leave.”

Your heart ached as you nodded again, the words catching in your throat. “I promise.”

—

Night had fallen by the time you found Boq again. He was in the small servant’s quarters tucked away at the back of the mansion, sitting on the edge of the bed and staring at the floor.

“Boq,” you said softly as you closed the door behind you.

His head snapped up, relief flooding his face as he saw you. “You shouldn’t be here,” he said, though his voice lacked conviction.

“And leave you alone with her?” you whispered, moving closer. “Never.”

Boq let out a soft laugh, though there was no humor in it. “She’d probably lock us both in separate rooms if she found out.”

“She doesn’t scare me,” you lied, sitting down beside him.

Boq’s hand reached for yours, his touch warm and grounding. “She should,” he said quietly. “Nessa… she’s not the person you used to know.”

You turned to him, your eyes filled with a determination you didn’t entirely feel. “Then we’ll leave. Together.”

He shook his head, his expression bitter. “She’ll never let us go. Not you. Not me. She wants to control everything—and she already has.”

The pain in his voice broke something in you. Without thinking, you wrapped your arms around him, pulling him into a fierce embrace. Boq froze for a moment before he melted into your touch, his head resting against your shoulder.

“We’ll find a way,” you murmured, stroking his back. “I don’t know how yet, but we’ll figure it out. We’ll get out of here.”

Boq pulled back just enough to meet your eyes. “I don’t care what happens,” he said, his voice trembling. “As long as I have you, I can get through this.”

Tears pricked at your eyes, and you leaned forward, resting your forehead against his. “You’ll always have me, Boq,” you whispered.

His lips brushed against yours, hesitant but filled with a quiet desperation. The kiss was brief, but it said everything words couldn’t: love, fear, hope.

But just as the moment ended, you heard the faint creak of wheels in the hallway outside.

You froze, your heart pounding in your chest as the sound grew louder.

Nessarose.

[thestalkingentity]

Musical head canon Time (there are some spoilers for wicked part 2 ahead)

So I like the after events of the show Glinda would probably regularly visit Nessarose’s grave. In part because she blames herself but also that is her only friend from college she can still visit. ( assuming she is never told about Boq) But I could very much see her visit Nessa’s grave every time she is in munchkin land.

If she ever becomes aware of Tin-man Boq they would probably be friends and hang out a bit.

They would Never and I mean never hang out at Nessa’s grave, because dear blood with what happened to Boq, horrible.

[bunnysnuff]

Unspoken.

Pairing: NessaRose Thropp x reader.

Trigger warning: one sided love (the reader)

Request.

You had always known that your heart was fragile when it came to love. It wasn’t that you were inexperienced—far from it—but the kind of love you felt for Nessarose was different. It was quiet, tender, and painful all at once. It wasn’t something that could be easily put into words, not when every glance she cast at you felt like a soft brush of wind against your skin, making your heart race with something you couldn’t quite define.

But she wasn’t looking at you the way you wished she would.

Instead, her eyes were always on him. Boq.

You watched, quietly, as Nessarose’s face would light up when he entered a room, her gaze following his every move with an intensity that you could never match. The way she would smile at him—so openly, so vulnerably—was enough to make your chest tighten with a kind of quiet jealousy. It was the kind of look she never gave you, no matter how many hours you spent at her side, trying to be the one she’d lean on.

Nessarose Thropp was beautiful. She was strong in ways that people never fully saw, sitting in her wheelchair, but her spirit was fierce. She wasn’t just the sister of the Wicked Witch of the East. She was more than her wheelchair. She was someone who, despite everything she’d endured, kept pushing forward, kept fighting.

And you admired her for that.

But watching her with Boq... well, it was hard. It was hard to be so close and yet feel so far away. You weren’t sure if she even noticed how much you longed to be the one who made her smile like that.

One afternoon, as the two of you sat together in the quiet of the palace courtyard, you glanced over at Nessarose, your heart aching a little more than usual. She was staring off into the distance, her fingers idly tracing the arms of her chair.

"You seem... distant today," you said softly, trying to catch her attention.

She blinked, as though pulled from some deep thought, and turned her eyes to you, her brow furrowing slightly in concern. "Am I?" Her voice was gentle, but there was an underlying sadness that you couldn’t ignore. "I suppose I’ve just been... thinking."

You nodded, not wanting to push too hard. "About Boq?"

Her face softened at the mention of his name. You could practically hear the unspoken fondness in her voice when she said, "Yes. He’s... been so kind to me lately. He’s different, you know? So thoughtful." There was a wistful tone in her voice, one that made your chest tighten even more. You knew exactly where her heart lay, and you couldn't help but feel the weight of the unspoken truth between the two of you.

"I think he cares for you," you said, not able to hide the trace of bitterness in your voice. You tried to soften it quickly, but the words were out before you could stop them.

Nessarose seemed to notice your tone, her eyes searching your face. "You think so?" She seemed genuinely curious, and you could see that her feelings were mixed—confusion, hope, and maybe something else. You couldn’t tell if she realized that someone else was waiting for her heart to turn in their direction.

But you knew it wasn’t you. Not yet, at least. If it ever would be.

"You’re important to him," you added, hoping to steer the conversation away from your own feelings. It wasn’t your place to confess. Not now. Not when she was so clearly caught up in someone else.

"Thank you," Nessarose said softly, her gaze shifting back to the distant horizon. "I hope... I hope I’m not asking for too much." Her voice trembled slightly, and for a moment, you wondered if she saw how much you wanted to help her, how much you wanted to be the one who could make her feel whole.

You didn’t have an answer for her. Not because you didn’t care, but because you cared too much.

The silence stretched between you both, a quiet understanding hanging in the air. Nessarose’s thoughts were far away, her attention absorbed by someone who wasn’t there. And yet, you stayed—just a step behind, a shadow in her life, always waiting, always hoping for a moment that might never come.

But sometimes, hope was all you had.

Meeting Elphabas family Headcannon:

Pairing: Elphaba Thropp x reader, the Thropp family x reader.

Trigger warnings: nervousness, Elphabas dad ig.

Note: let’s pretend Elphabas mom is still alive pls. Let my baby have a family.

Request.

Elphaba's Nervousness:

Elphaba is anxious about introducing you to her family, knowing how complicated her relationship with them can be. She reassures you that it’s not personal but admits she’s protective of you.

Meeting Melena (Elphaba’s Mother):

Melena greets you with warmth, almost too much, pulling you into a tight hug, a contrast to Elphaba’s more reserved demeanor.

She’s charismatic and playful, commenting on how much Elphaba talks about you (even if Elphaba is quick to deny it).

Melena’s affection for you feels almost performative, like she’s trying to make up for something unspoken between her and Elphaba.

Meeting Frex (Elphaba’s Father):

Frex is standoffish at first, perhaps disappointed or unsettled by Elphaba’s defiance of traditional expectations, but gradually warms up to you.

He might make awkward, old-fashioned comments, trying to be fatherly, but you sense the tension between him and Elphaba, who clearly resents his patronizing tone.

His attempts to bond with you are more about asserting control than making a genuine connection, but you manage to navigate through it with polite responses.

Nessarose (Elphaba’s Sister):

Nessa seems cold at first but eventually shows curiosity, especially after seeing the dynamic between you and Elphaba.

She’s intelligent and quietly observant, noting how much Elphaba seems to trust you, and this causes her to warm up—albeit slowly.

The two of you bond over your understanding of Elphaba’s complexities, though Nessa’s loyalty to her sister sometimes leads to small, sharp comments.

Elphabas Reactions:

Elphaba stays mostly by your side, but she’s visibly tense, trying to hold it all together for your sake while dealing with family dynamics.

You can tell Elphaba appreciates your patience, especially when it comes to handling her family’s quirks.

Afterward, when you're alone, she admits how difficult it is to be around them, but she’s glad you’re there with her.
