Not quite the guy I’d have chose to be, but when she’s standing so close to me, I think I like her plan.

AND NOW IVE FOUND MY LOOOOOVEEEE IVE FOUND MY WAY TO LOOOOVEEEE IVE FINALLY FOUND MY PRIIIIIZEEEEEE (cause if there ever was a perfect couple, this one qualifies!!!!!!!!!)

[phoenixkaptain]

I absolutely love Legally Blonde (the musical). Elle is such a great character!!

The audience is introduced to her in such an amazing way, with her mathematically trying to figure out what to wear. “It may be perfect for a blonde, but I’m not that blonde. I may be in love but I’m not stupid, lady, I’ve got eyes.”

Elle in general is so good. She’s so smart and she’s legitimately the most interesting character to follow.

But!!! The best!!! Part!!! At the end of the musical, when she says she’s leaving, Emmett confessing that he loves her isn’t what convinces her to stay. Instead, it’s the other female characters showing their support for her!!! The way the girls in this movie support each other!!! The “Greek Chorus” is perhaps my favourite example, if only because they’re so supportive of absolutely everything Elle does!!! It’s so sweet!!! “We came to see our president be legally blonde”? Best line, I love it, it’s so good.

But also, the romance between Elle and Emmett is so fucking good. Emmett supports her through absolutely everything. Emmett is such a great person, but also his musical cue is an oboe, which means I’m biased to like him anyway-

“They laughed at me like they’re laughing at you. We can’t win if we don’t follow through.” “Though it’s hardly my business to say, could it be the real thing in your way is the very man you’re trying to impress?” “But I know it’ll all be worthwhile when I win my first lucrative trial, and buy my mom that great big house out on the cape.” “As I hugged my mom and told her, with the chance I’ve been given, I’m gonna be driven as hell.” All of Emmett’s lines are so good, all of his songs are perfect, Emmett is the best character ever.

I love the ending, when Elle proposes to Emmett. It’s the character coming full circle. She begins the musical by planning an outfit that will be perfect for Warner to propose to her to; “This dress needs to seal the deal, make a grown man kneel, but it can’t come right out and say bride.” “I’ve got t leave Warner his pride.” She’s fulfilling the stereotypical idea of the woman having to be proposed to. She can’t propose to him or look too desperate to be proposed to, because that will ruin his “pride.”

Elle proposing to Emmett at the end shows such an amazing character growth. She knows she doesn’t have to fulfill the stereotypical female role in their relationship. She proposes in a room full of people, proving that she is no longer concerned with her partner’s “pride.” She proposes by saying “Emmett Forrest, please make me the happiest woman I know.” She proposes in the stereotypical male style, but it’s so fucking sweet because Emmett is so excited and they just love each other so much-

But the best way to portray the character growth is two specific interactions. To set it up, the Greek Chorus mentions, in the very first song, that being married won’t come between Elle and their “sacred bond of sisterhood.” Later in the same song, the Chorus sings: “We love you guys.” And Elle responds: “No, I love you guys.” Note that she specifically says “I,” because presumably, Warner doesn’t actually care all that much about them.

Now, in the finale, the Chorus repeats the line, this time to Elle and Emmett: “We love you guys.” But, this time, Elle and Emmett respond together: “No, we love you guys.”

Emmett supports Elle’s interests to the point that she feels comfortable sharing them with him. She feels comfortable introducing her best friends to him and he actually likes them. It comes full circle. Elle finally has someone who supports her completely, just like she supports Emmett completely, they make each other happy. It’s so sweet.

Also, it’s kinda funny because Emmett is Elle’s sugar baby-

[quantwigmania]

it is probably known how Emmett most definitely Does Not go in for a hug during the end of Take It Like a Man, but one thing I’ve picked up on throughout the performances I’ve seen is that (basically only Christian… lol) he also leans in a bit before Elle is given the suit…

and, if he applies the fragrance too fast, sometimes he’ll put his hand over his mouth and check how his breath smells 👀

5 more couples ranked from least to most bi4bi- this time from MUSICALS!!

5. Amélie and Nino

these two are both such bisexual disasters that neither of them can manage to say how they feel until the tail end of the show but it’s okay because they’re cute and i love them

4. Anastasia and Dmitry

GASP!!! why are our favorite feisty russian lovers ranked lower here than they were on the animated couples list? mainly because they got knocked down a peg by an anti-capitalist runaway and her twink musician boytoy

3. Orpheus and Eurydice

oh hey look an anti-capitalist runaway and her twink musician boytoy!! yeah there’s no way in hades (ha) they both aren’t bi

2. Elphaba and Fiyero

either of the top two couples on this list could’ve taken this spot but ultimately fiyeraba here came in second because most people prefer elphaba with glinda and apparently haven’t heard of polyamory

(also kinda pissed at glinda since seeing the movie and being reminded how shitty she is sorry gelphie shippers but it’s true 🤷‍♀️)

1. Elle and Emmett

first off EVERY christian borle character is queer it’s in his contract

second of all the vibes are just immaculate with these two idk if girlboss x malewife is still a thing but it always will be for these two 😊

do you see my vision ? do you ? ?

[chucklepea-hotpot]

i like to believe that emmett takes elle's last name after they get married and elle's nickname for him becomes "mister woods comma emmett"

[mjmb235]

Elle wood and Emmett Forrest appreciation

Because if there was a perfect couple this one qualifies
