post-canon gelphie where elphaba comes back and wants to hear about all the ways glinda has improved oz's government structure elphie would be like "my sweet the way you reorganized the tax bracket was so sexy" and glinda would be like "omg this nerd <3"

[blairbennetts]

elphaba was so sweet and willing. the big headed bitch on the right had the craziest attitude and was grasping onto elphie like someone was tryna snatch her. girl call down.

yk in regards to wicked people see themselves reflected in characters like elphaba, glinda, fiyero and nessarose maybe even madame morrible or something I don't fucking know but the one character who has got MY back and who knows what everything's about is absolutely that one munchkin girl in 'no one mourns the wicked' who could absolutely NOT keep her mouth shut and just had to involve her nosy ass in glinda and elphaba's business.

and yk what i love her for it go girl live your dreams I feel so seen because of you. like she had exactly ONE opportunity to ask this question and by god did she take it and she didn't even have to do much; she just got glinda started and bitch was like "an excuse to talk about elphaba???" and spilled her entire life story.

Nessarose: I’m such a daddy’s girl

G(a)linda: It’s not like you can be anything else

Queer Moments of Life and Death

[blackhart43]

[nottobehornyonthemain]

The Wicked musical, for a 2003 liberal fantasy that wants to deal with racism without actually having to talk about racism in our world today, is actually pretty interesting in the ways in which it functions as a form of gay and racial allegory that very much does not treat those two things as if they’re the same issue, which a lot of “you’ve been different your whole life and everyone has always hated you for it” type stories at the time, and a bunch to this day, are guilty of, so that they don’t actually have to get into anything more specific.

Elphaba has been scorned and tormented ever since the literal second of her birth for something she cannot change or hide. She’s from a wealthy background, but doesn’t play nice with others. She has an absurd amount of talent, but that only serves to make her more of a target, as she is only seen as someone of worth when she can do something for more powerful people around her. Her otherness is only forgivable when she is being exemplary, because being just as good as everyone else is not good enough when you’re different. Elphaba can’t hide, but she also doesn’t really have to cover up what Glinda was to her. She loses nothing if everyone knows that Glinda was kind to her, or that she was the one to insist Glinda be allowed to learn magic. She has significantly more experience with marginalization, even as the daughter of a prominent government official, than Glinda does, and it changes the way she interacts with the world.

Glinda is rich, blonde, charismatic, and gets her way always. She’s not the most talented, but she’s not uniquely restricted or handicapped in anyway whatsoever. She’s privileged, and the only thing she ever does that’s out of line is care about the wrong person. Glinda can, and does, hide that thing that makes her different. The thing that makes her stand out from the rest of Oz is something that she can ignore in order to make herself look better. Yes, she’ll be alone and unhappy, but she has her job, and her popularity, and she can have everything she’s ever wanted. Because, regardless of whether you think it’s romantic or platonic, Glinda is closeted. Her feelings about Elphaba leave her to mourn alone in a crowd of celebrating people.

I love Fiyero so much

What do you mean he always saw beauty in Elphaba?

What do you mean he said she didn't need to be galindified???

What do you mean he saw life as pointless until Elphaba comes into his???

What do you mean he was always rebellious but never in a really meaningful way until Elphaba gives him courage????

What do you mean he cared about the animals because she cared and jump into action the moment he had an opportunity???

What do you mean he stayed loyal to his girlfriend at the time but also make sure to demonstrate how much he appreciates Elphie and was proud of her going to make her dream come true?

What do you mean he heard Madam Morrible speech and didn't believe a single word despite not even had been there to really know?????

What do you mean he immediately jumps on his horse and ride from Shiz to Emerald City IN A HEARTBEAT??? Just to find her!!!

And when he learns she ran away, he stayed and play pretend for FIVE YEARS just to have a single chance to reach her????

Just to run away WITH her????

And then give himself up to the government he betrayed just to save her once again????

And she was the person who made him remember who he was after the scarecrow transformation????

And he still loves her and didn't judge her for the way she tried to save his life???

Not ONCE did he thought she was wicked??????

Damn

Haven’t seen the new Wicked movie yet, but I am forever impressed by the fact that someone saw the “Wizard of Oz” and was like:

“Hm. Yes. I see. Okay. The wicked witch and that scarecrow? They’re in love for sure.”

“The witch who sets him on fire?”

“It’s a complicated situation.”

[waterlilyspad]

So there was a line....in the original wizard of OZ....where the witch threatened to use the scarecrow to stuff her bed with his straw......

ELPHBA WAS OVULAATTINGGG THAT WEEEK GYAD DAMMNN‼️‼️‼️‼️✋️✋️😭😭😭
