BREAKING NEWS: Sources Say That Wicked (2024) Is THE Movie For Thirsty Bisexuals+

Character relations/opinions!

Alright before I post any more Battle Addict stuff I should probably explain what a League Council is. Here's a summarized diagram:

A Pokemon League is a region's network of specialized skilled trainers. It is run by the League Council, which includes finance, HR, marketing, PR, and other managing departments which are divided into different branches depending on who they work with.

This is all to say that everything gets messy very quickly when news of the diagnosis spreads through the network. Originally the diagnosis was supposed to be private information for only the Battle and League departments, however certain higher ups felt it was a safety risk and notified gym leaders as well in the event of future collaborations.

The network is mostly divided into people who are positive/neutral about the news, and people who feel negatively about the twins as a result. Coworkers who were already familiar/close with the two tend to be positive, or at least supportive, whereas those who didn't know them got another reason to avoid them. Some people think they should go on leave for "recovery", but some are more forward and want them terminated.

If you're wondering where Cynthia falls in this, she's a foreign top league worker (Sinnoh Champion) who is hosted in Unova. Basically she has dept. employees assigned to help her connect to people around the region and get different services if requested. She's basically watching everything unfold from the sidelines, with every interview about her opinion boiling down to "lol if you're scared of people stronger than you then get good". She does also bring up historic accounts of CM/HCCM though, mostly to clarify that CM is not a new or scary thing. She's not for or against the twins, rather just hoping to use this as an opportunity to teach others.

I didn't end up drawing her because I got tired but Elesa got the news too!! She actually got it before everyone else since the twins decided to go tell her beforehand. The general scene basically had Ingo and Emmet deliberating in the car, Ingo telling Emmet it's not too late to turn around and go home while Emmet was hesitant but adamant that they needed to tell her first. She probably took it the worst out of everyone but that's mostly just cause it caught her off guard that her friends would just randomly drop in to deliver the news. She's still rooting for them though, mostly trying to support the Subway with more collaborative events to make the twins look better after the hit from the media. She also tries to rework Emmet's restraints where possible, usually trying to make them look more cohesive with the rest of an outfit or trying to make them less visible (cause as much as Emmet says it's not a big deal it's still the first thing he looks at in his reflection).

Here's them in alt clothes :7

Man is cuffed under there (T_T)

nobody asked , however here are my favorite glindas and the reason why excluding ariana because she's a given ♡

alli mauzey

a few months before the movie came out , i wanted to be a part of the annoying group of stans who say they knew wicked before it was popular 💞☺️🫧🌸💅 . so , i watched a bootleg with alli mauzey . she will forever be my first glinda ... and the funniest . fight me .

allie trimm

i'm seeing wicked in less than three months for my birthday , and by then allie will have replaced alexandra socha as the principal glinda . so , i've been watching clips of her to prepare and i already love her >:)

mckenzie kurtz

her rendition of popular is my favorite in terms of stage performer glindas 👉👈 i would say in general , however i feel the movie and musical version are too different to compare , and i can't live without ari's popular 🧚‍♀️

that's it , bye from gliyeraba ✌️

Foreshadowing in the elegy

Episode 5 of the Weston anime adaptation reminded me of this old discussion.

I'm glad the anime still has Sebastian reciting this elegy, though he doesn't recite as much of it in the episode as he does in the original chapter.

In ep5, he just says "Sunt aliquid Manes: letum non omnia finit; luridaque euictos...."

But it's still enough to give us the foreshadowing. Quoting the paraphrase from that old post: "There is something in the spirits of dead people: not everything ends with death; a livid shadow won...."

This online essay translates the first bit as "The Shades are something: Death does not end everything" and discusses Propertius' allusions to Homer's Iliad.

Another online source translates it as "There are such things as ghosts: death is not the end of everything, and somehow a pale Shade can survive..." To finish the sentence, there's "escaping the pyre". It's interesting that the anime stops mid-sentence, but it does at least include that the "pale Shade" can "survive".

It could be more specifically about real Ciel's existence as a Bizarre Doll, but it's quite enough that we do have other Bizarre Dolls in this arc. Besides, later we find out that real Ciel was there to witness the Blue Miracle, too....

Cynthia returns in ghostly form to complain that her death was unfair and then not properly mourned. Doesn't real Ciel claim something similar later on, when he confronts our earl? Yeah. Not in the same way, but he accuses his younger twin of impersonating him, which automatically means our earl didn't follow the usual mourning rituals... by pretending "Ciel" never died to begin with... and then behaving around most people as if the younger twin never existed.

Cynthia's soul is in Hades, whereas real Ciel's soul (or at least whatever remains) is presumably still inside Sebastian... being reduced to nothing.

Despite it all, Cynthia's love continues, beyond the grave. And real Ciel says he still loves his little brother, despite the brother lying about his identity. Later on in the elegies, Cynthia is around (in some form?) and burning stuff down. What might that say about real Ciel? Well, he is fighting our earl by having all these blood collection facilities in operation. What other forms will their battles take? Would real Ciel burn down Funtom or something?!? He's already told Tanaka to "dispose" of the prototypes he was sent to approve....

I have two types

Women in stem particularly those in my special interests

Then women/nonbinary people with brown hair and can hurt me if needed...

There are many others but because I know them personally I can’t post a picture unfortunately

EDIT HOW DID I FORGET THEM

[sapphosclown]

i still can’t believe paramount plus literally said “HEY. LESBIAN. LOOK.” and showed me my favorite character of all time and just i was jumping and spinning with glee they grabbed me the shoulders slapped me across the face and spit on me and said “you fool. you absolutely useless dyke. it was all a ruse. get fucked” and then deleted the whole damn thing

Fic prompt: The Pink Ladies and the T-Birds become convinced that Cynthia’s dating someone and won’t leave her alone until she tells them so she freaks out and tells them she’s dating Buddy

Immediately afterwards she rushes to Buddy’s house and pretty much goes “hey so I know that I’ve told you over and over again how much I hate you but can you pretty please pretend to date me” and he’s like ok fine but you owe me

And so the entire thing is just those two fumbling around trying to convince everyone that they’re dating (which is much harder for Cynthia than it is for Buddy) and the two of them becoming actual friends

According to Variety NBC will air a behind-the-scenes special about "Wicked" on Nov. 19 at 10 p.m., just ahead of the film's Nov. 22 theatrical release date.

Titled "Defying Gravity: The Curtain Rises on Wicked," the special features the cast of "Wicked," as they "share personal memories, intimate video diaries and revealing secrets about their personal journeys through the making of the Universal Pictures film."

The show paints lydia to be a bit of a bitch and well she is, (and we love her for it) but her first scene essentially goes like:

Lydia: hey you're not allowed do that here

Cynthia: well fuck you, hey can somebody get me away from this broke ass bitch?

Like cynthia comes out swinging for LITERALLY no reason, lydia did not deserve that
