AUTUMN: “like the colors in autumn, so bright just before they lose it all” 🍂

[blossoms-phan]

thinking about what it means to be chained together, work, life and social, to quite literally be beside each other in life and… still make the confirmation that phil is indeed the funniest person he knows sound like the most earnest and sincere thing in the entire world? to spend so many of your days and years together now, with evidence of all those smiles and laughter written all over your face. something about the simplicity of these questions, timeless ones but untainted by social media or meme speak, leaning fully into the girly sleepover night energy but also just… answering so honestly, in a way that’s funny and charming and completely them but walls down. thinking about them trying to make dil and tabitha best friends and being disappointed when that reduced their romance level. thinking about “i think 14-year-old dan and phil would have been friends”, about more than just romantic, about i didn’t have a best friend for the first 18 years of my life, real best friends. their friendship is so important real lovers are friends first etc etc

My favorite detail in Wicked

Wicked part 2 spoilers I guess but I just got to watch Wicked on streaming and noticed some foreshadowing that is SENDING me.

By far my absolute favorite detail is the use of body language to foreshadow what’s to come for these characters in part 2.

The biggest example is the choreography in “Dancing Though Life”. There’s just SO MUCH scarecrow imagery in the movements here, like look at the Scarecrow dancing in “If I Only Had a Brain” and then Fiyero dancing and TELL ME the filmmakers weren’t at least heavily inspired by the latter.

First Fiyero moves very slow and loosely, almost like a ragdoll. Which is exactly how IIOHAB starts.

But then as the song escalates the dancing switches to a much more energetic choreo, flailing and kicking their limbs around. Again, exactly how the Scarecrow does it. Especially the background dancers in the last scene look almost one-to-one with the original footage.

Its almost tragic seeing the unfortunate fate that awaits Fiyero foreshadowed in such a lively and fun musical number with none of the characters knowing.

I know a lot of other people have already pointed this out but just seeing it for myself, especially watching the clips back to back just blew my mind. This shows such a level of thought and care put into this movie by the production team especially from something that most people aren’t even going to notice. But it just makes the movie seem all the more complete and im SO impressed that they added this

still watching gifs does NOT do this parallel justice so I encourage ‘yall to watch the music videos back to back to get the full experience

More, smaller examples under cut:

The first time Boq meets Glinda he leans over her shoulder in a way thats almost identical to the iconic scene from the Wizard of Oz:

The burning statue of Elphaba in “No One Mourns the Wicked” mirrors Idina Menzel‘s pose while performing “Defing Gravity” on Broadway.

Just adding the I Know Places TV lyric video

The hallway of doors flips upside down by the time the song reaches the bridge/breakdown

It’s fearless 🎶

These long hallway scenes give off similar vibes

Only difference is in the Me! video there are windows to the outside world. Almost like it’s the only video that provides a window to see into her only partially though.
