#the thing is like glinda is so fucking INTERESTING#it drives me up the wall that all people care about is that she's in love with elphaba#because she's so much more interesting when you look at her and realize#she might be in love with elphaba but at the end of the day the person glinda thinks she is or wants to be is not who she is (yet. atp.)#who she actually is is not a person who can protect someone as revolutionary/radical as elphaba to any degree that matters#'i would've helped you if you needed someone' is easy to say when it's what you want to believe you would do#but at the end of the day it's not what she actually chooses. and it IS a choice.#the movie's framing of this is also slightly different than the musical's framing of glinda's choice to go after elphie which is interestin#but that's a different post lol#anyways point being. glinda might be in love with elphaba but her love is so much more complex than just CARE#because her love will ALWAYS be tainted by the choices she makes to prioritize herself and/or succumb to her fear depending on ur reading#glinda and elphaba might love each other but UNTIL they reconcile their worldviews in for good. until they lose everything for their causes#they are consistently making each other worse in a toxic yuri way. and i stand by that.#like they teach each other to be better for sure. that's pretty explicit text.#but they refuse to accept that lesson until they've lost everything in their attempts to deny/reject it#but this is like. also a good thing. that's a character/relationship arc and growth. thats good fuckin writing man
