I RAN OUT OF TAGS.
Still turning Wicked around in my head.
Rotating it in the tumbler.
Debating writing something with it but like. Not quite there.
There's a couple of moments that scream to me.
Not sure my grasp of the characters is strong enough and like it....
It's Wicked, with its huge fandom, and it's....
I want to make sure I have the grasp on the characters I want before getting into it.
#musings#bandit#bandit brainstorms#wicked is so much about choices and the ramifications of those choices#elphaba could have stayed with glinda and worked from the inside to get what she wants#to make the CHANGE that she wants#but she's not elphaba if she's not giving into her emotions of the moment - for better or for worse#elphaba is ALL emotion and impulse and what is the right thing to do and that's what i do#and glinda is ALL calculation and manipulation and getting what she wants when she wants it by convincing people that's what they want#glinda could never have gone with elphaba because that means denying who she is at her core#glinda could never have gone with elphaba because she would rather work within the system to change the system#elphaba could never have stayed because it would have killed her in a hundred thousand ways every moment of every day#elphaba can MAKE those hard choices because she IS those hard choices#elphaba has never once been loved so it doesn't mean as much to throw that love away#it means A LOT to quit trying to earn love she doesn't have#but glinda has ALWAYS been loved#of course it is harder for her!#...i'm gonna stop rambling in the tags#they're just such fundamentally opposite extremes#and they love each other#and they temper each other but that doesn't save either of them#because the changes happened but not soon enough#i just#have a lot of thoughts okay#and it's important to have the thoughts so that i know what i'm changing when i change something#what it means to have glinda go and not stay#what it means to have elphaba stay and not go#etc.
