If I could go back home

If I'd never left,

I'd never have known

We all dream of leaving

But wind up in the end

Spending all our time

trying to get back home again.

He's home now...

THIS REMINDS ME OF RAY COOPER AT ELTON JOHNS LAST WORLD TOUR OMG

as soon as you saw mr Cooper in the back with his hands dancings across the largest assortment of percussion instruments I've ever seen in a white shirt and those silly little round glasses nothing else mattered in the world. He truly is the best percussionist -- at least in energy!

Dan looks like Ray Cooper because Ray Cooper looks like a blind mouse

you guys know i've been losing it at this for the past 39 minutes right

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road 1973

The single was released in 1973 and entered the top ten in both the United Kingdom and the United States. It was one of Elton's biggest hits, and quickly surpassed his previous single, "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting", in both sales and popularity, following its release. The song has been widely praised by critics; some consider it a strong contender for Elton's finest song ever. Elton named his farewell tour after the song, naming it the Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour. The song got 77% total yes votes <3

I’m sure many of you are wondering how Taylor is going to end her Era’s Tour in the Emerald City of Oz — I mean Vancouver (which has also been named the Emerald City).

In my quest to discover more Gaylor Koincidences hidden in the Wizard of Oz themes, I learned something interesting about our friend Dorothy.

It appears that Dorothy was very much in love with a woman, as told in one of Frank L. Baum’s original novels, The Road to Oz. It is here that we learn of Dorothy’s greatest love, the Princess of Oz, Ozma.

The entire woodland fairy vibe of folklore fits Ozma’s style perfectly. Her dress feels an awful lot like this:

Something else to note is that Ozma helps Dorothy escape from a mental hospital where machines made patients brain dead.

Which of course feels Fortnight coded

Their love is familiar. Ozma and Dorothy escaping the constraints of repressed identity, echoes Taylor’s description of a celebration of being free with her love.

Camera flashes, welcome bashes

Get the matches, toss the ashes off the ledge

As I said in my letters, now that I know better

I will never lose my baby again

Happily, finally free in the Emerald City filled with color and light. She’s left sepia-toned Kansas, where all they wanted was gray for her. (Kansas… Chiefs). Running down a yellow Brick Road (just like Elton John did on his farewell tour when he came out as gay), she will finally be able to love her.

My Long-ass Post About "Wicked"

have to blurt out my entire long-winded rave-review of "Wicked"(2024) I have never seen the Musical in full and only know plot points through osmosis. anyway TLDR: I loved it and need to be sedated. anyway thoughts commence under the cut. Spoilers obviously

The opening sequence???? Oh my god it has me hooked IMMEDIATELY. The slow pan through the castle on the floor showing the disarray it's in with all the propaganda posters before showing the bucket and the puddle with The Hat laying on top while the news report plays in the background??? "A Young human female... with a bucket of water.... the Wicked Witch of the West is dead."

The horse showing galloping away from the castle which I'm like 99% certain is Fiyero's horse.

The pan over the rainbow that passes by Dorothy and the others walking to the Emerald City down the yellow brick road had me like

The tulip fields being all practical.... like they planted a shit ton of tulips in real life just for that one shot. Actually just All the Practical sets and effects really made the movie all the more breathtaking.

All of "No One Mourns The Wicked". Ariana did an amazing job showing Glinda's conflicted feelings about the situation. How Glinda was clearly distraught over the events but having to keep it together for the Munchkins- she sounded like she was on the verge of tears for the entire end bit.

The propaganda posters all around the town.

Glinda very awkwardly excusing herself after they pull out the giant straw effigy like "Okaaaaaay I'm leaving now, I really have to be elsewhere haha farewell". Also her having to pop her bubble in order to her the girl asking if she was really friends with Elphaba in the past.

TITLE CAAAAARD. It being all old timey like something from the era the og Wizard of Oz released would have.....

Shiz. Just all of Shiz is sososso beautiful. Huge win for Practical effects lovers.

Also the outfits. Another blanket statement here about how the costuming was breathtaking I loved all of Glinda and Elphaba's outfits.

Elphaba having that little "no I didn't eat grass" thing at the ready was hilarious but also very sad.

Glinda going "I need to lay down" and her friends physically picking her up and carrying her sideways killed me."

Elphaba accidentally destroying the lil mural to the Wizard and revealing one with Animals underneath it.....

Madame Morrible being the first person to actually "appreciate" Elphaba and telling her that the color of her skin didn't matter while going on to calling her green skin "a sign of her inner wickedness reflected outside from within". Pain and suffering.

Elphaba talking about having a vision in "Wizard and I" where all of Oz was celebrating her while in reality they were celebrating her death....

"What Is This Feeling" is definitely my fave song, I just keep playing it in my head. I love the ensemble bits where stomping is used as a part of the instrumental. "Oh Galinda you are just too good!" is my favorite.

Glinda/ Elphaba: My roommate is ...

Glinda: -unusually and exceeding peculiar and all together impossible to describe

Elphaba: Blonde.

I love Glinda and Elphaba continuously going back and forth with each other doing various things trying to one-up one another.

"I was talking to a dear friend-" "a deer?" "a cow, actually"

The shadows with the animals,,,,,

Fiyero is fucking hilarious. He's a prince, he's a himbo, he's even bisexual. One of my friends that I saw it with was super suspicious of him the whole time and I thought it was hilarious lmao. I think he read too deep into the "brainless" thing being about a possible brainwashing plan and not just Fiyero being No Thoughts Head Empty.

Fiyero going on about being "brainless",,,, okay scarecrow "I want to ask the wizard for a brain" mf.

The choreo in "Dancing Through Life" was amazing!!! the spinny bookcases were so fucking cool I wish I could have a try at one of those.

The "loathing" leitmotif during the intermission part of "Dancing Through Life"

The others cheering at the docks when they see Nessa and Boq coming towards them to come with.

Nesssaaaaa. Doomed by the narrative. She's so happy with Boq at the ball. She has no idea she's gonna get crushed by a house at some point :((

Whispered "And they were roommates" to my friends during the scene were Glinda and Elphaba danced together and almost made one of them choke on their popcorn.

Elphaba crying when Glinda started dancing with her and Glinda asking if she was alright.... Everyone at the ball beginning to dance along as well.... GAH

Glinda being the first person (besides Elphaba's nanny probably) to tell Elphaba that it isn't her fault that her mom died. Also Glinda probably being the first person to tell Elphaba that she's beautiful during "Popular"

My friend didn't realize "Popular" was from Wicked and his jaw dropped when it started playing asdfdsa

Sleeping Poppies like from the og movie!!!!!

That lion cub is definitely the Cowardly Lion

"Not that Girl".... Cynthia Ervio's voice is amazing.

"Fiyero's been weird ever since that day... he's been thinking." "That's weird." "I know!!!"/ "I've been thinking" "So I've heard"

Glinda randomly declaring that she's changing her name and then immediately being like "why the hell did I say that"

Emerald City being GORGEOUS. what more can I say

Idina & Kristin having cameos was so cool!!!

The big-ass wizard mask immediately followed by Jeff Goldblum strolling out of the curtains.

The lil Oz diorama with the figures in the Wizard's room.

The Wizard talking about feeling paternal towards Elphaba. like Oh Boy you do not know the extent of it dude.

Elphaba being given the opportunity to wish for the Wizard to make her look normal like she originally had wanted to, but instead asking for him to help the Animals because she's finally started feeling confident in herself as she is.

Elphaba reading the grimmerie and immediately feeling horrible and horrified by the pain that the monkeys were going through because of her spell and trying to undo it.

Elphaba and Glinda destroying the Wizard's last connection to his home. RIP Bozo.

Is there anything I can say that hasn't already been said about the entirety of "Defying Gravity". It's a classic for a damn reason. The amount of adrenaline I felt watching Elphaba fly around with that broom could make me start flying. Once again, Cynthia Ervio's voice is amazing.

Madame Morrible pulling the manipulative stuff with Glinda bc Glinda literally can't say no to her or the Wizard anymore without being thrown in prison or killed or some shit.

"As someone told me lately, everyone deserves the chance to fly" coming from the Wizard's song "I believe everyone deserves a chance to fly"

"Look at her, she's Wicked- kill her!/ No one mourns the Wicked, so we have to bring her down!" fuck yeaaaaaah me when leitmotifs!!!

Anyway. I loved it. I'm insane and need to be sedated because I still have a week left of school before Holiday Break. Thank God I don't have exams because I would be thoroughly Fucked.

Also, in regards to Wicked Part 2, this screenshot puts it best:
