Just some thoughts on Glinda not making that final step to go with Elphaba. Elphaba has nothing to lose — she already wants Nessa to be independent, her father sucks, and her only real friend is Glinda (and Fiyero). Glinda has a whole world of people who adore her who she is afraid to leave behind (but unfortunately, she doesn’t quite realize/accept in that moment that Elphie is the one who matters, see: For Good).

But one thing I haven’t seen discussed much… In the immediate time leading up to Defying Gravity, it’s Glinda who is in the most grave danger, over and over! She faces the entire corridor of monkeys punching through glass. She is the first to come face to face with the human guards. She is the one who has to make a leap onto the air balloon. She is the one physically grabbed by a guard trying to drag her out of the basket. She is last off before the balloon collapses in flames. But Glinda goes through all that and repeatedly makes the choice to find and stay with Elphie. It was when she literally is asked to jump off a skyscraper and rely on her friend’s terrifying, newfound powers (which are admittedly shaky, and Glinda has no personal experience using herself), when she has a moment to stop and reflect on the absolute insane gauntlet that she just ran through, that she finally can’t do it anymore. And even then (!!!) she does make the run with Elphie towards the edge—just like she made that jump onto the train to the Emerald City at the last second. And if not for the guards literally ripping Glinda away, maybe, just maybe Glinda would have made that final leap with Elphie.

I'm being attacked in my own inbox, wtf...... 😭😭

So how was Wicked 2024?

No clue, the earliest screening in my country is December 4th. 😭 I'm going to have to somehow dodge spoilers for two whole weeks!!

Trick or treat : P

Treat!

You get a giant sweet!

I don't know what flavour it is though...

Portia, please. Just trust me on this. He literally stood there and named every single one of us like he was calling out a roster. You'll just be playing into what he wants.

Byrd sits at the top of a high rise, looking down at the street below. He stretches out and lays on his back on the roof, wings stretched to his sides.

Jeez. These are always boring. Nothing interesting happens in the meantime...

hi there! since my last fic got 100 interactions (yikes!!) and im in my vacations period now i thought i'd make something to thank you all and to know the new people who started following me since then.

i'll write blurbs/drabbles (mostly fluff or comfort themed ones, no smut but maybe some suggestive content) with any members of bts, txt and ateez! pls send a member + a prompt number from the list above.

(thank you so much for the apreciation you gave from the craddle to the grave! :D)

prompt list 2

many prompts from my list 1 are being reused here because they weren't requested the first time. again, none of these are mine!

"your hair is really soft after you wash it."

"ssh. stop fussing. I'm just braiding your hair."

"you look better in my clothes than I do."

"your lips are really warm."

"move your blanket. I wanna lay down on your lap."

"sweetheart, you look cute, but I'm going to need that sweater."

"can I sleep over? my parents are fighting again."

"you're so cute." "what did you say?" "I said you look like a boot."

"hey, hey, hey, don't let them say that. You're beautiful."

"no one's ever done that to me before."

"sleeping with you was the best sleep I've gotten in years."

"did you just fart?" "yes." "okay, release your demons."

"you're so annoying, oh my god - I love you so much."

"how did you manage to get the frosting on the ceiling?"

"this tastes like dreams."

"he treats me well-" "okay good for you." "- but he isn't you."

"can we stay awake together?"

"you interrupt my reading once more, and this book becomes a lethal weapon."

"don't mess with that, you'll hurt yourself."

"should I cook today?" "I- I don't trust you with my kitchen babe."

"you make me proud, you know that right?"

"hey let me in. I'm outside with your favorite pizza."

"I can't get over how a few months ago I wanted to get to know your name and now you're having breakfast with me in my sweater."

"would you like some hot cocoa with your mountain of marshmallows, oh my god are you trying to put yourself in a sugar coma?"

"when this is all over, I don't want us to go our separate ways."

"well you are beautiful, not as beautiful as me though."

"what made you think putting a holiday sweater on our cat was a good idea? I'll get the bandaids."

"you came." "you called."

"you sleep with the stuffed animal I got you?" "of course."

"goodnight love, I'll see you in my dreams."

Given that Movie Nessa is played by an actress who uses a wheelchair for real and that I've heard something about the people wanting to not do the whole "she's fixed" thing, it'll be intreresting to see how they portray her transition from "Elphaba's sister" to "The Wicked Witch of the East."

Part 2's gonna be interesting for sure.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Marissa Bode has said that at least the "fixing of Nessa's disability" portion will be differently handled in part 2.

And you could already very clearly see that in part 1! In the musical, Nessa is constantly pushed around and essentially babied by all the characters. And one of the best changes is that they gave Nessa so much more agency in that regard!

So I'm super excited to see how that arc unfolds in part 2!

hi bannedfromtheaters. long time subscriber first time caller. I first got familiar with your work through the carmilla videos and rapidly you became one of my fav video essayists in the biz. the Wicked one is one of the best analysis I've seen on youtube and I have watched it at least 1.5 times every year since you released it. the one that holds a special place in my heart, however, is the one on Deaf representation in mainstream media which just 🤌🏼 it's just 🤌🏼 sooo good. anyway, I just want to say I love all your work and I wish you peace, health and success on 2025. ✨🎉🫰🏼

ps. it's ok if you don't make this ask public, I just want you to know.

🥹🥹🥹 That means so much to me, anon!!!

Firstly, I can't even believe you stuck around since the Carmilla days!! And thank you for such high praise for my Wicked video!

But most of all, it feels so good to hear someone actually say my Portraying Deaf Characters on Screen video meant so much to them!! I worked so damn hard on that video. From the way to code subtitles to go on top of the screen, to being mindful of the amount of music I put in, to the analysis and the new pixel art style I was incorporating fully for the first time (the Imogen & Laudna vid was a trial run so to speak).

I was so proud of the Deaf representation video, and then... it absolutely bombed on YouTube, views-wise. And it still hurts, tbh. And it's even shitter because YouTube can have such a way of affecting how you look at your own work, y'know? Suddenly you just start to self-doubt if the video was any good at all.

So yeah, it means the absolute world to me that it holds a special place in your heart!! Messages like these genuinely turn my feelings towards the video back to more positive and remind me why I was proud of that video in the first place!

(Also, I hope you don't mind I published your ask regardless, but I really need to have this message on my dash as a reminder that views aren't everything).

DC x DP Prompt: Crime boss Sam in Gotham with her wives/minions Danny and Tucker.

"And so, I think that we should attack the west side first in order to gain as much control as possible,” said a random goon.

Persephone, the newest eco-friendly crime boss in Gotham, nodded slowly. She turned to the side, where two men were bent over a Nintendo DS, seated on pillows that were on the floor next to her throne chair.

"Do you two have any opinions?"

"Nope," both of them said nonchalantly, covered in flowers and slithering vines. They didn't seem to mind the very invasive plants that were sneaking into their clothes.

Persephone nodded and then said, "Alright, dismissed. I need to discuss with my advisors."

The goons filed out one by one. As they left, a couple of them leaned their heads together and started gossiping.

"So are we really sure they're just her advisors?"

"If they're her advisors, I'll eat my left foot. They're definitely her boy toys!"

"Nah, I think they're her husbands! They really have the vibe of a married couple, y'know?"

"How do you know they're not related?? What if they're siblings? Or just friends?!"

"Are you crazy?! That wouldn't make sense! They're definitely her consorts!"

"Why are we even arguing?! Just shut up and do your work! We have to meet Red Hood's gang tomorrow, remember??"

But no matter how much they argued, they still didn't have the answers. In the end, the identities of the two men who sat by Persephone's feet remained a mystery.

Prompt 283

Now Jason would like it known that there was no mpreg situation going on. He isn’t even sure where people got that idea in the first place. Sure, he had taken a few Cores from the goons-in-white who had dared to set up in his turf. 

And sure maybe the excess energy from the pit (no wonder he’d been so irritable) was what said baby halfas (Okay, so they’re half human? Alright) had used to reform. And maybe the oldest is visibly less than a year old. 

But there Was No Mpreg Situation! He is this close to shooting someone! It was annoying (and slightly amusing) when it was just his goons, but now the Bats have seemingly got it in their heads! Dear Gotham it’s a good thing he’s not planning on like, ever revealing who he is because he would never be able to live this rumor down. 

[Winged Ghosts Au too, that seems to be getting lost in reblogs when it's just in the tags lol]
