Ok it took me fucking forever to get the file to be the right size and blah blah blah technical jabber. But we got there!

Here they are!

Elphaba, Glinda, and Lexi.

These drawings are from an AU set in sort of a mix of Musical, and book events with some of my and my girlfriend’s own ideas.

We plan to write a fanfic series for this AU. Well… we’ve been working on it~

do you think the reason agatha’s trial felt weird is because she was the only one who did not actually buy into the mythos of the road since she knew the truth? like that was why no perspective change and all the other reasons why people thought it was a fake trial

i find it odd that someone luke's age should be so condescending...

...while so many folks older than luke treat him as mature.

in a limbo of childhood and adulthood... poor luke... and this theme is played with a lot in this game!

you have the candymaker who only sells candy to children - but it is the adult emmy who wants the candy, and the child luke who doesn't (interestingly, because he thinks he's too old for it).

and then you have the group of children who stay in the market all day trying to make money, as their parents have been laid off from the factory: some of them run market stalls, some of them find junk to sell, and all of them come together to form the black raven, a gang of kids pretending to be a single adult, and in that guise they hold expensive underground auctions at the black market.

these children are taking up adult roles, both literally and symbolically, because the adults in their lives aren't able to fully fulfill the parental function of caring for them - in this case, mostly in the material realm (money, food, clothes, shelter), but also in the emotional realm (attention, patience, concern, comfort).

luke is contrasted from them, in that his family is wealthy - but, through this child/adult limbo, he is paralleled to them all the same. this suggests that, like them, the adults in his life aren't able to fully fulfill the parental function of caring for him - but instead in regard to the emotional realm entirely. after all, his mother has been absent for a short while, and his father has been rather insensitive and quick to anger...

I don't think I've ever taken in before how much Wicked Act I (and thus Wicked Part I) takes its structure from The Wizard of Oz. It opens with No One Mourns the Wicked, which is an obvious response to Ding Dong the Witch is Dead* (the first song once Dorothy gets to Oz, and only the second overall), and ends with our heroes arriving in the Emerald City (Merry Old Land of Oz/One Short Day). Our hero is then asked to perform a task so that the wizard will grant her heart's desire. Having completed this task, she then discovers that he is a fraud and that he cannot do what he's promised (nor could he have done the task he set her), so she has to make use of the power that was inside her all along to get where she needs to go.

*Bonus connection between these two songs is the little musical motif ("ding dong the witch is") that the movie version of No One Mourns the Wicked uses in its newly triumphant orchestration at the start (roughly 1:01 and 1:19 in the official soundtrack).
