I love Ginny’s character so much, actually.

Her introduction: Laying on the ground, despite having a tiny table at her side, several armchairs, and probably a desk and bed in her room, but no, she prefers the ground. Doesn’t get up when knox enters, just continues laying there without caring. First thing she says is a complain to her mother (“it’s ginny, mom!”), doesn’t care there’s a visitor present. Says hello to knox, doesn’t care to start a conversation aside from that. Continues with her business. Gf appears, Ginny talks to her like she’s the only person in the room. Visibly judges visitor with her gf by sharing a glance. In the book, she tells this complete stranger that Chris is going to make out with her brother in their father’s car completely unprompted.

Stimming.

She later appears at the play, at the end of it, just approaches Neil and kisses him, a moment later, while they’re back on stage, pushes him towards the crowd being a supportive friend.

After getting out of the auditorium, instead of, idk, returning home with her parents, decides to follow a bunch of teenage boys she doesn’t know to a place she doesn’t know to do god knows what. But her gf is going, so. She ends up dancing the night away.

Honestly she’s just having a good time all through the movie.

Of the firm belief that when John Dory is at cash registers he brings out his wallet and it has one of those 127 polaroid pictures of his brothers that just tumble one in one big rope . He starts retelling the stories of the most ridiculous ones without realising how insanely dickheadish he sounds all while laughing fondly . He then leaves without paying

wild week for musical theatre covers. the high budget star-studded broadway shakespeare production can’t get their first covers rehearsed enough that they can go on for their understudy roles off-book months after opening, at the same time that the swings of alw’s technicolor rollerskating nonsense are rawdogging supporting villain debuts at showtime with no prep other than what could be reviewed in the 20 minutes it took to switch costumes and doing totally fine. absolutely insane.

Going feral thinking about how I’m pretty sure the first time we see another person actually touch Elphaba skin-to-skin since her birth in the movie is when Galinda presses the back of her hands to Elphaba’s during the Ozdust Duet and how John M. Chu really understood the material and how to improve on it for the adaptation

steve, robin, chrissy, and nancy starting a band together. each have their own kind of more classical musical training with robin being in marching band and steve, chrissy, and nancy all having Rich People Music Lessons as children, but everyone's shocked when they decide to turn that talent towards a punk band called Baby and the Girls

and they start off kind of small, with their Gimmick being the disconnect between their more prep/normie visual aesthetic and the angry, violent tone of their music. steve's the singer (he has a lovely voice, kind of warm and croony until he really starts screaming), chrissys the drummer (she's so tiny you can barely see her behind that thing), nancys the bassist (solid, dependable, gets a little smile on her face whenever she's got a particularly sexy baseline bc she knows the bass is what makes a song a fuck song), and robins on guitar (and keyboard, and violin, and one time an accordion which is still her favourite song to perform. basically whatever other instrument the song calls for she's got it)

and they get kind of a following not just for their angry music criticising the government and society and the like, but also because of how unabashedly queer they are. chrissy/nancy/robin have all visibly flirted with each other during concerts and no one's quite sure what the deal is there. steve performs like 75% of their shows in full drag as Baby (hence the band name) and winks flirtatiously at both male and female audience members alike

eventually they get Real Big, and get signed to an actual record label. despite knowing how queer they were before signing them, it's still like the early 90s so the label makes them tone it down a bit. song lyrics get a little more ambiguous (but not if you actually like. listen to them. i mean steve sings about eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables in a way that like. We All Know What The Peach Is Steven), steve's not allowed to perform in drag anymore (although he does lose a suspicious amount of bets whose forfeits 'force' him to perform in a dress. new fans are baffled at how bad this guy is at bets), and the band name has to change, becoming Stevie and the Girls (the label wanted it to just be 'steve' but they compromised)

and over the course of their career, at some point they end up on a talk show with the Other Band From Hawkins, corroded coffin. the host is clearly angling for a punk/metal standoff, maybe Known Non-conformist eddie munson will call them posers for wearing so many pastel colours, or since everyone knows that steve chris and nancy at least used to be pretty popular in high school maybe there's some lasting high school drama to up their ratings

and yeah, their ratings skyrocket for that episode, but only bc steve and eddie reveal they've been dating since 1987
