#Wicked Media

[prokopetz]

I don't have any strong opinions about Wicked (2024) as a film, but I have to admit it's very funny seeing reviewers who clearly have no prior exposure to the material outside the 1939 MGM adaptation getting their knickers in a twist about politicising the legacy of L Frank Baum.

Love the fact that 2024 is the year of gay witches

[violet-moonstone]

is the book "confusing" or does it just ask you to think instead of spoon feeding you all the answers?

is the character "unlikable" or are you being uncharitable and unused to seeing main characters as anything other than a vehicle for self projection and wish fulfillment (either someone you'd want to be or want to be friends with)?

is the writing "problematic" or does it just display complex and flawed characters navigating a cruel world?

are the sex scenes "gratuitous" or do you just have puritan sensibilities and think that sex is something that needs to be justified because you think it cheapens art?

does "nothing happen" in the book or are you expressing your subjective preference for plot-driven stories as an objective evaluation on the book's value?

did the book "traumatize" you or is that just a term you throw around loosely to describe anything that upsets or disturbs you?

remember that one scene at shiz where elphaba says she likes to read things that challenge her because she likes to think about what she reads, and glinda stares at her like she's speaking gibberish?

yeah.

Don't get me wrong, I do understand why people don't like Maguire's writing but there is a growing trend of people hating any fiction that challenges them.

I saw a review where someone was saying they "weren't a pearl clutcher, but..." and then in the next sentence proceeded to clutch pearls. Your tolerance for bizarre fiction isn't as high as you thought it was. That's fine. It doesn't mean the book is bad.

Imagine reading a book for adults and then finding mature topics in it. The horror!

Maybe instead of blaming the author, blame whatever person or circumstances led to to believe it was a kids' book. *Hint* it was probably the popularity of the musical adaptation and the book reprints with the musical cover on it. Can't wait for more people to watch the movie and then read the book expecting it to be sunshine and rainbows. (No hate to the movie, btw it actually looks pretty good).

not canonically queer, not not canonically queer, but a secret third thing (if it was between a man and a woman you could remove 90% of the romance and it would still be considered obviously canonically romantic)

Are you a good witch or a bad witch?

Both are 5x7 in, mixed media on colored paper

My two ladies together at last! I'm not sure how I will feel about them later, but I am actually overall happy with how they turned out surprisingly, even if it wasn't expecting this initial outcome🤷🏻‍♀️

This includes an updated version of my Elphaba portrait. I was not happy with the shadow under her hat for her hair, so I darkened the hair and corrected the shadow so it would match in contrast.

Thank you so much for all the love and shares you have been giving my portraits! I really wasn't expecting it at all but I am glad they have all brought you joy in some form as I continue to grow as an artist as I navigate my own art journey!

As I posted before, there will be limited prints of each of these at least at the beginning. This is the first time I am selling my art like this and I am trying to see how I can handle it, so that's why there will be limited prints available.

If it grows to be popular in demand, I will try to introduce more prints to sell of these two, along with other pieces of my artwork that I will post and share in the future!

I am also thinking of selling both of the original artworks as a set, meaning you would receive BOTH AS A COLLECTED SET EDITION! So keep and eye out for that!

Also, please keep in mind that at the end of the day, I am trying to support myself and have a livable income based on my art for the most part. I want to make money selling art and doing commissions/client projects and independent work, as do most of the other artists trying to grow their outreach across other social media sites, so the prices that you may see, especially for any ORIGINAL artwork, are the prices that I feel comfortable with. I will never try to be intentionally unreasonable when it comes to pricing, but at the end of the day, the pricing will be determined on how I feel which prices will make me feel comfortable, the amount of time and labor put into it, original artwork, size and scale, etc.

So please consider that before you approach me about very, very low price negotiations and/or free art commissions because to be frank, I am 99.999% sure that won't really happen at all. I am not trying to be a jerk, but that's the reality of it all.

So if you could, please continue to like, share, and reblog my art as much as possible so that I can have maximum outreach and opportunities as that would really help a lot I feel like and know that I will always appreciate you all for showing such love and support for my work as I continue my art journey!

YOU are holding space for the lyrics of defying gravity and finding power in that. I am holding space for the lyrics of no good deed. we are not the same

"You can't hate this character because-" yall ain't real haters I'll hate whatever character i want and I don't care I'll hate a character so much it consumes my entire being just because I was annoyed the day they were introduced and they made a facial expression I dont fuck with or I didn't like they're tone in one (1) line character hating is half of media enrichment I fear
